I am so excited to be serving on the Executive Leadership Team for March of Dimes’ March for Babies. This is a very personal mission for me. I was a high risk mom with preeclampsia with both of my pregnancies. If you don’t know what that is, let’s just say that it means I could have not survived my pregnancies if I was not being closely monitored.

Like many mom’s suffering with preeclampsia both my babies were born early at 36.5 weeks. Lillie was perfect when she came out but Thomas struggled with breathing which was terrifying. Gratefully he was able to recover quickly in the NICU for 72 hours.
