A Mommy Story

I’m thrilled that I’ll be spending my last quarter of nursing school in the special care nursery of a local hospital, working one-on-one with a nurse and getting as much hands-on experience as possible. Special care is not a NICU – more like a place for babies who need just a little help making that transition to the outside world for one reason or another.

And in a somewhat related tangent, one of my posts each month in 2009 will be devoted to a topic from the March of Dimes. They asked me to be a blog ambassador for them, and seeing how I’ve always supported this incredible organization, I quickly agreed.

Unlike other partnerships, I’m not getting any compensation (I think they promised me a March of Dimes coffee mug?), but I will get the chance to interview celebrities and doctors involved with the March of Dimes. While I’m thankful to have given birth to two healthy daughters, I know there are others who aren’t so lucky, and I’m happy to spread the word about March of Dimes and all of the research and outreach they do.

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!
