Walk of Hope

The last Saturday of September I particpated (along with my sister and the babies...and friends and their babies) in Resolve's Walk of Hope. It is amazing to me just how many people in my personal address book have been touched in one way or another by infertility.



Pictured below are...
5 IVF babies (maybe 6...not sure about Jen's little one...Jen?)
(2 from me, 1 from Murgdan, 1 and 1 on the way from Susan)
1 ovulation induction baby
1 friend going through treatment




We have a whole range of issues...PCOS, tubal factor, male factor, etc. It was nice to be able to spend time with those who get it. (My sister gets it too...and I hope she never has to experience infertility).

It was somewhat hot...as September in Atlanta always is...and hot weather makes babies tired. Tired babies need naps...and one baby (Miss Caroline) loves to nap on her tummy. So nap on her tummy she did. Yep...on top of the picnic table.





Overall...I think it went very well for the first time ever having the walk. I plan to do it again next year...and the next and the next...I hope all of my friends will too!

I hate that I missed it! But will try to plan to do it next year (unless we are planning for Baby #2???)........

The picture of Caroline is so cute. I'm surprised she'd sleep out in the open like that.

I wish I could have been there. I was a virtual walker on Julie's team but it would have been great to be there in person!
