    Looking for MN SHARE members

    Good evening. My name is Amber, you may have read Samantha's Story. That's us.

    Well, another MN member and I were talking about the SHARE gathering in August and know that due to financial issues, we won't be able to attend. (for me,having to get hotel rooms for 6 weddings this year is pretty much eating up my travel expenses)

    Anyways, we are looking for other MN members that won't be able to attend, but would like to meet other SHARE members who would maybe like to meet that same weekend, just somewhere in MN. We thought the Zoo or something fun like that.

    Anyways, please feel free to post a comment in my blog, or email me directly at briandamber@mchsi.com to let me know your thoughts on this!

    meeting in MN

    I'll be sending out an email to anyone I come across that is from MN. So far, I have about 12 email addresses. If you have any others that aren't already on the MN page, let me know and I'll include them too!!!!! I'd love to go to one whereever it is going to be for the entire SHARE family, but my vacation time is almost to 0 since Samantha has been sick and I just outright can't afford it right now!!!!!!!!!! Hope to see you soon!

    just delivered a 28 week 2 day little girl

    We just had a little girl on August 27th, 2006. She was born at 28 weeks 2 days. She of coarse is in the NICU still. I also had a son in June of 1999. He was born at 31 weeks and he was diagnosed with Cerbral Palsy @ 6 months of age. He later passed away at the age of 3 for no known reason. He just went to sleep and never woke up. This little girl is bringing back alot of memories of my son and I am having a hard time bonding with her scared that I am going to loose her too.

    Welcome to share!

    Hi Mya's Mommy,

    I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. That has got to be every parents nightmare. But congratulations on the birth of your daughter. I have boy/girl twins born at 30 weeks. The nurses always told me how strong the little baby girls were because my daughter had a rough time. (course I never knew how to take that as I had a boy too) So I will keep you and your sweet baby in my thoughts. Are you in MN? If so where? I'm in St. Paul. Send me an e-mail if you would like some support.
    Take Care
    Kathy

    circle pines, mn

    I'm angie. I lost my little girl July9th from a brain tumor. she was born on the 6th. we had no clue about the tumor. she couldn't be saved. Emma was born in wyoming, and transfered to the Riverside university in minneapolis. I'm not really from this whold area, and I don't know where to go for support groups, I know I need to talk sometimes, and I really try to keep in touch with the other parents on here to help things, and help them if they need it. I guess if anyone is pretty close to the area and would like to go to the church group with me I would feel really good about it. st. joseph church in lino lakes is having a remembrance for all the people that went home to the lord on nov 6th at 7:00 in the evening. if anyone wants to come, just bring a picture if you have one. and I hope to meet you there, like I said, I really need to talk to someone who has been through this, or is going through this. I really do feel alone. angie

    Hi Angie
    I'm so sorry that you lost your little angel. I haven't experienced this but I imagine it is just about the worst thing to have to go through. Have you checked out the parent to parent section under dealing with the loss of a baby? It may help. Also I am in MN so if you ever want to talk e-mail me and I'll give you a call. Sometimes it helps just to be able to talk.

    Looking for A Baby to Sponser

    My name is Nicole and I am a lead teacher at a Children's World in Roseville, Minnesota. We are currently doing a fundraiser for March of Dimes including the walk. I thought it might be easier for the kids to understand what the campaign is all about if we were able to share a specific story about a family and new baby in need of March of Dimes. Please let me now if there is a possibility of this happening. Thank you. Nicole

    My 3 boybarians are 4, 5 and 7.  

    The best option would be to contact the office closest to you. They have families who give speeches for just this type of thing!
    Thank you, from the mom of a preemie, for donating to the March if Dimes. I think it would be fun for your coworkers to form a Walk America team. It can be a very fun, rewarding experience. I wish you the very best!

    Mommy of Blake (full-term), Madi (stillborn @ 28 weeks), Lauryn (full-term)  

    Here To Help

    We're from NW Minnesota. My hubby is stationed out of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Air Force Base. You're welcome to share our story if you would like. Share has helped us tremendously. Our daughter (Madi) was stillborn, but it's what brought us to Share and got us more involved with the March of Dimes. I know there is a fetal camera (fetoscope) for detecting Madi's situation, but it's still an experimental procedure and is only offered in large medical facilities. One day it will be used as a standard procedure; I'm almost certain.

    We're just getting started with our fundraising for the walk. Good luck with yours.

    Here's Madi's Story:

    Here's more info on the fetoscope:
