The Day at the Capitol

The reason for asking for your prayers at 10:15 on Thursday morning:

marchofdimespost

I will be speaking briefly on our family’s experience with prematurity and our personal connection to these legislative issues. 

I’m feeling majorly a tad bit nervous, but excited to be a positive example of the vigilant efforts of the March of Dimes.

I hope I don’t faint at the podium…

Or refer to a Senator as a Representative….

Or forget which state I reside…

Or have 4 two-year olds making a ruckus in the audience…

Or pee my pants!

10:15 Thursday, People.  My deepest appreciation for your prayers and encouragement.

    Got your back, Jen. Will be praying, but who knows this subject better than you? I remember well the 8 weeks the girls spent in the NICU. It was still a month before their due date when they came home! It's a huge deal what you're doing with the survival kits. J

    Jen, you will do great. Speak from the heart and tell your story. You know all too well what it means to have a preemie and how 4tunate your family is. Good luck! Erin
