Saturday was the March for Babies. It was a dreary day, but Team Campbell showed up to lead the pack! Unfortunately, Martha couldn't walk but she cheered on the team. We'd like to thank Chrissy Catoe, Sara Hopper, and Bryan Hayes for coming to walk with Robbie and Campbell. Many thanks also to Denise Hopper (Nana) for coming to keep Martha company and to bring her a snack ;).
We decided since Campbell is not such a fan of the stroller, that she might like to go in her backpack carrier and she loved it! (Thanks to Karen and Rob Needham for passing this down to us!). Robbie really appreciated that Chrissy and Sara shared the carrying duties...that girl is heavy!
Team Campbell is proud to announce that we raised $1115 for the March of Dimes! This is amazing, especially considering that this year we were quite distracted and were not nearly as organized as we've been in the past. That is a testament to all of our family and friends who donated!
We'd like to thank the following donors:
Bill and Denise Hopper
The Milne Family
Chrissy and Michael Catoe
Mary White Modla and her co-workers at Office Environments, Inc.
Bryan Hayes
Nancy Needham
Crystal Greene
Jennifer and Greg Borak
Linda and Ron Call
Sara Hopper
Frances Ann and Larry Mabry
MFM Update
We had an appointment with the specialist on Friday for a growth ultrasound. Maggie now weighs 5 lbs, 12 oz and we could see a head-full of hair! We discussed the episodes of tachycardia (rapid heart rate) on Thursday and rising blood pressure. He was obviously concerned and we discussed bedrest. We decided that Martha would just "take it easy" for now instead of bedrest, but if the attacks continue or the blood pressure continues going up, bedrest will be the next step. Luckily, we are very close to full term! A pregnancy is considered full-term at 37 weeks so we have less than 2 weeks! We are hoping to make it to that mark or beyond to our scheduled c-section date of May 18th. Thanks for your continued prayers!

So glad to hear everything is well with Martha. We've been praying for you guys. And you are so close to your goal! Also, kudos on a successful March for Dimes. Sorry we weren't able to make it this year. Looks like everybody had fun.
that is such great news!!!
any yay for raising so much money! you guys are awesome!
Had a blast walking in the March of Dimes walk! Carrying Campbell was a lot fun - too bad Robbie and Chrissy tuckered out and couldn't get her across the finish line. Thank goodness for aunt Sa-Sa!!! ;)
Ahem.... Sara - that extremely short bit of walking you did with Campbell on your back seems to have clouded your memory. I had a great time walking as well. Hope to do it again next year!
