March To End Premature Birth

Why I walk.


I'm walking because we had 2 premature babies and thanks to the advancement of technology and the TLC of the George Washington University Hospital NICU we have 2 healthy babies. Our 2nd born son was extremely premature, he was born 22 weeks and 6 days gestation, weighing only 465 grams, just barely a pound and he had to stay in the NICU for 4 months. Our baby girl was born at 33 weeks and 3 days gestation and she had to stay in the NICU for a week! Both times were trying times for us! We had 2 success stories and we are truly blessed! She we walk to support the cause and because we are so thankful!

We are walking in March for Babies to get the message out about this terrible problem and you can help. Please make a secure donation to help me reach my goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.

Pharrell’s song “I’m Happy” has plagued the world and I love it! When the song comes on the infectious words and music evokes you to let down your guards and dance and sing. In those moments you really do feel happy!

Our family has definitely been blessed on many occasions, especially when it comes to our children. I have been pregnant 3 times and each has been at-risk. I am so grateful to be able to tell our story and have 2 healthy children and being on our journey to have another healthy baby! #Proudmommy

I finally have come to the realization that I will not ever be the perfect parent. I am officially accepting myself as the imperfectly open, vulnerable, authentic , loving, compassionate, empathetic and understanding parent who has flaws!

Happy lifestyle is a great way to approach every day. In this challenge we will explore what happiness means to us and how to incorporate those things in our lives. Studies on behavioral change say that it takes 21 days to form a new habit (or break an old one).

My birth name is Araina. I was given that name because I was born on a rainy April afternoon and my mom was creative enough to put an "A" at the beginning and end of "rain" thus "Araina" was born. Coincidentally, Araina also happens to mean "Queen" in Latin, which suits me perfectly!

This poem is so true!!! When I reflect on all my relationships/friendships over the past 10 years, I realize how this resonates in my life! I have people who have come into my life for reasons and initially when the relationship/friendship ended I was devastated but now when I reflect on it I understand for the most part what reason they served and I can learn from that, be thankful and grow.

Mothers Day is a bittersweet celebration for me! Though I am very grateful to be a mom and love to be celebrated I also have to face the reality of the lack of a healthy relationship between me and my own mom!

My Abundance plant: Started off a s 7 small lima beans that I planted with each seed representing something that I wanted to manifest in my Abundant Life (Love, peace, happiness, healing, harmony, balance & authenticity). It is one physical representation of abundance in my life. It reminds me to live abundantly!

Hello my name is Serenity Rain and I have emotionally immature tendencies. I’m not gonna fully claim emotional immaturity because I’m pretty emotionally mature given my upbringing and circumstances, so I will give myself credit for that...BAM!!!

So we all do it…make New Years Resolutions and then fall of the wheel! We have good intentions when we make them. We want to feel better about ourselves and do better for ourselves and the New Year seems like the perfect time to start. There is nothing like a fresh start in the New Year.
