Anyone in Birmingham?

I've been looking for preemie moms in Birmingham that might be interested in meeting for a play group every now and then. It's always so nice to be able to get together with people that have an idea of what you have been through!

    My 3 boybarians are 4, 5 and 7.  

    My prayers for you

    To the SHARE families on the Alabama coast:

    I pray that your families and friends have been spared. All around the country, your state, as well as Mississippi and Lousiana, are clutched in prayer and concern.

    People can not find enough ways to outpour their compassion. Far away in states and countries all over the world, we hold our breath and shake our heads in disbelief about the images we are seeing on the TV screen. Never has the US seen such a thing in it's own yard.

    Please feel free to come and SHARE your needs. Ask and you shall receive. I pray that the displacement, the loss, the devastation can be replaced, rebuilt and reinvested to make your state a home-sweet-home once again.

    With a heavy heart,
    Darcy

    ps - I have posted this in the Miss and LA folders, too.

    Anyone in Dothan, or Near??

    My daughter was born in Birmingham, and there were a few parents from our area that were in the NICU with their little ones. And we would love to get in touch with them or any other preemie moms and dads for a play group. If interested let me know!!

    Help in Alabama

    If you haven't heard from anyone yet, you ought to contact the state office in Birmingham at 205-824-0103. They could connect you with the closest office to where you live. My son, born at 26 weeks, served as an ambassador for a local walk. Since then, we have been involved with the March of Dimes in several ways. It is very rewarding to use our own experience with prematurity to hopefully help someone else.

    I recently had a preemie girl born at 27 weeks gestation at UAB in Birmingham, AL. We were there from 5/1/08 until 7/13/08. It would really be great to meet other local moms...this has been so exhausting and this is only the beginning.

    My name is Brandy. I live in Auburn and would love to meet anyone in the area. Grace was born at EAMC but was transported to the NICU at Baptist South. We were there for 10 days because she was having seizures. We struggle with this everyday. We have such a long road ahead of us, it would be great to talk to others who are just working through day by day.
