Happy Wednesday!

Some interestingly funny things Gillian has said lately.

She told Craig she had to go potty so they go running for the bathroom. She tells him to cover his nose with his t-shirt because it is going to be stinky.
I was running late (go figure) and I needed to be to work on time. So I told Gillian we needed to hurry because I needed to be on time. Her response,"I'm going as fast as I can so you are going to have to be late."
Gillian insisted that I buckle the pink puppy in the vehicle so that he didn't get hurt if anything happened while we were driving. And because I want everyone safe in my vehicle, I buckled in pink puppy....lol

March for Babies

I had a conference call with the committee for the March for Babies on Friday. It lasted about 45 minutes and seemed pretty productive. This will be Team Gillian's fourth walk and my first year being on the committee. I'm excited to get more involved with the walk. Although I do still find this time of year stressful with memories, doing the walk side tracks me.

I'm the ambassador Mom which means that I will be sharing Gillian's story at the walk. I read through my speech every couple days so hopefully day of I will be completely prepared. I will also be interviewed by media prior to the walk to help get more publicity.

I'm also in charge of the March for Babies - Plattsburgh facebook page. Not that this is a huge role, I'm keeping everyone updated on facebook and again trying to publicize the walk more. I put the page together yesterday and today I added all the team pictures from last year. Next week I want to add walk pictures from last year and the following week I plan to add pictures from the Preemie Parade. I also plan to give weekly updates of which teams have signed up online from last year. It will keep me busy and I'm glad to help.

This year is also a big year because Team Gillian is going to hit the $10,000 mark in our fourth year of walking. It's a milestone, one that I'm really looking forward to.

The weekend

The weekend was back to normal. Gillian had dance on Saturday morning. Then we went to breakfast with Craig's parents which was nice. We hadn't seen them in a bit. Gillian went and spent the day with them. I was exhausted and ended up sleeping for 3 hours that afternoon.

Gillian has had a cough and stuffing nose. I must have gotten up half a dozen times Saturday night because she kept waking up. Needing a drink, had to use the bathroom, needed a tissue, just wanting some comfort. Thankfully I got that nap in.

Sunday morning we went to breakfast with my parents which we don't do often. Then we did some shopping. Then back home for a quiet afternoon.

I did start some of the old posts...hope you enjoy.
