Miracle Bash!

This weekend was the Swim For Melissa Fundraiser and the Miracle Bash. Thanks to a generous donation from Aunt Margaret we were able to go to the Miracle Bash on Friday night with another preemie mom! The Bash was held at the Westin which is amazingly beautiful and I also learned that "casual" dress attire means you better wear a nice dress and fix your hair and makeup! Thanks Grammy for clearing that up. :)

The event was completely sold out and I don't know the exact number but there must have been at least 500 people. The food was yummy especially the chocolate covered strawberries! They also had a band which was awesome.

Here's some pics from the Bash. They had pictures of preemie babies on each table and around the room. As soon as we walked in we saw Emma's picture and it was so sweet.

Here is me and Kylie (the preemie mom). She is so incredibly sweet and I'm so glad she could join us. Her daughter Ella Grace, weighed in around 1 lb 11 oz (can't remember exactly) but she also spent 3 months in the NICU and had the same breathing problems as Emma.

George and I
Proud mommy!
Amy & Chris George who started the Melissa George fund. They are really sweet people and have done so much for our NICU in the past 2 years. Thank you Amy & Chris!

Jennifer Godwin and Lynn Lee of the NICU surprising Amy with a beautiful picture.

I've got lots more pics to share, but give me time to post them. Emma doesn't like mommy to play on the computer all day so we'll see how long it takes. :)
