I am so excited about the March of Dimes walk next month! I love doing this because it makes me feel even closer to my daughter. It lets people know that she was someone that was here and they acknowledge her more. I just want everyone to realize and be aware of the things that can go wrong during pregnancy. For example, when I was pregnant with Darcy I never in a million years knew something like this could happen. That could be my own ignorance or lack of education, but I'm sure I'm not the only one unaware of a woman having a weak cervix. The night I went into the hospital before giving birth to Darcy I was in a lot of pain, but I never dreamed that I was in labor. I just thought I'd go in and get checked out and come home happy and still pregnant. The thought of coming home without my baby never crossed my mind. The March of Dimes gives mothers a chance to honor their babies that they have lost and let other know about them. I expect that day will be filled with many tears. Luckily my husband will be there with me and my dear friend that I have made through this trying time. She too lost her daughter the same way and just within a week of us loosing Darcy. Without our friendship this journey would have been more painful and much harder. Darcy has changed my life in so many ways. It's hard to think such a tiny being that was here for just a short time could have such and large impact on her family's life that still continues even to this day. I am sure it will continue for the rest of our lives.
As I am ending the first week of my 2 week challenge I am pumped and already looking forward to my next one. It's so exciting to see others getting involved and sharing their journey with each other. Not only are they keeping themselves accountable, but it helps me stay on track and they are keeping me accountable. I feel like it's my job as a coach to be up before everyone and posting that post that they will for see first in the morning. Their coach got up and worked out already and that I hope is inspiring. This next challenge will be on my own. As in my coach won't be there to guide me through, I'll be leading it myself. Along side my new coach that I signed on earlier this week. I already see my team forming and it's encouraging me to work harder and reach more people. I'm currently doing 21 Day Fix and loving it! It's 30 minute workouts that I knock out easy before work each day. It is 7 days a week, but that's simple to do...
Thinking of you and hoping the walk is a positive day for you.
