avery's angels

i love avery's angels. this foundation (non profit organization) has been my lifesaver. if you have a facebook then you should check them out here. because of this foundation i have gotten to speak to a few veteran mommies in california and talk to them about what they went through. they check in with me and i check in with them, asking questions about their experiences. once we get to the nicu stage of this they'll be super helpful. i'm sure i'll be emailing them daily, or at least every time we get updates on the baby. one of the veteran moms lives in the san francisco area and she wants to come visit me once we get settled in the hospital. i'm so thankful for that. it'd be so nice to have someone there who went through it already (and has a beautiful little girl to show for it). the facebook page is wonderful because you get to read what other pregnant moms are going through (or nicu mommies), and hear from veteran moms about what they already went through. people post photos of their babies on the page, too. and i'd really like it if my friends/family would check out those photos in order to prepare themselves for what we're going to be dealing with. it's a lot to take in when you look at the photos, but it's nice to prepare. oh, and if you feel like donating to a good cause, then you can donate to avery's angels on behalf of myself & scott & our little boy.
