What is the March of Dimes about?

The March of Dimes is about all babies – those born healthy and those who need help to survive and thrive. We’ve been protecting the health of babies for 70 years. From pioneering genetic research to promoting folic acid to fighting for lifesaving newborn screening and finding the causes of premature birth, the March of Dimes continues to champion the needs of moms and babies.

March of Dimes has touched your life if:

- Your baby received a vaccine to prevent polio

- Your baby received critical newborn screening to check for potentially dangerous but treatable conditions

- You took folic acid before and during early pregnancy to prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal cord

- You had a premature baby who spent time in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or was treated with surfactant therapy, a lifesaving treatment developed with March of Dimes research grants

- You had a healthy baby due in part to good prenatal care at home and from your doctor

Did you know March of Dimes:

- Is one of America’s best known and most respected charitable organizations

- Was founded in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt

- Meets Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance Standards: 77 cents out of every dollar spent funds our mission – one of the highest rates of any not-for-profit

- Has offices in all 50 states, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico

Silly girl

It's amazing to watch Peanut grow and develop into a little girl. She's saying new words every day and is always trying new things. Yesterday she decided to see how it would be to fall on purpose.

Our little fish

Peanut has always loved water. Whether it was in a cup, tub, pool, hose or sprinkler she couldn't get enough. I was worried that her love of the pool may have been hampered over the long winter months, but I had nothing to worry about. Franklin and I took her to the rec center and she had a great time.

Sorry the video is sideways, I forget about that when I take video on my camera and I've tried and tried to rotate it but it won't work.
