Hi Amanda!

Congrats on the birth of your three miracles! Sounds like you had a rough time with the 3rd. I actually have some family from that area. I am probably a 2.5 hour drive from you. Do you know an OB with the last name Troyer? We should talk! Email me if you would like. My email is aileigh06@bellsouth.net. That is fantastic that you have been selected as the ambassador family! I am sure you will do the March of Dimes proud! If you ever need anything, let me know!

Hugs and Love,
Aimee

Boy, four months in the NICU! That must have been very difficult. I am very happy that little Peyton is doing so well now, though.
