Did you know it was raining on Sunday in NYC? Specifically on 62nd and Columbus where we couldn’t find the stupid registration center, or even Nina’s parents? It was a sad day in volunteer land (damn that rain!) - but a big deal in saving baby land, because, with the help of all you lovely people we raised $1610 for team DandyJack. I think we get a t-shirt, but you? You all get the satisfaction of knowing you’ve helped someone else, and hopefully prevented a baby, or a family from heading down a very scary road.
Jack braved the March for Babies well. He put up with the wet ankles and the mobs of people who didn’t care that we were “pushing a baby here people!” But, he was fussy and oddly warm. By the time we got back home after walking about 3 blocks it became clear that he had contracted some kind of stomach flu. Don’t ask how we know, because Dudes? We just do. He’s still on pedia-lite as I type. Pedia-lite and graham crackers, the sustenance of kings…
In closing, I would like to apologize to the family that I snorted at and referred to as wimps, for advertising their 4 pound “miracle” on their team t-shirts on Sunday (no, they didn’t hear me). Just because my miracle was 2 pounds 4 ounces doesn’t mean yours was any less miraculous… so. I am sorry.
