February Wisconsin Meeting INFO!

[kara]

Calling all Wisconsin Members for our next meeting!!

When: Saturday, February 9th, 2008
Where: Madison, WI - My house (email me for directions)
Time: 11:00am
Why: Walk-a-Thon Kick-Off

Feel free to bring friends or family that are interested in volunteering for the Walk-A-Thon! Our goal is to double our fundraising efforts from last year. To reach our goal, we need to be really organized, meet all of our deadlines, and most importantly garner walkers, donations, and sponsors. And we NEED YOU to make that goal a reality!

We'll help explain in full detail numerous ways you can help, and have convenient hand-outs available to help you decide at what level you want to participate.

So mark it on the calendar! I'll have beverages! Feel free to bring a small snack to share, if you like. And we will have fun, as always!

Rebecca, maybe we will have one "up north" one of these days! And Amy, YAY!! Glad you're coming. I was just noticing your signature, and I can't believe they let you go to 40 weeks +4 with Siobhan! What the heck?!?

Katie will be coming as well! Hopefully we'll have others as well!

Kara,

I couldn't believe they let me go that long either. But since all I had was one isolated reading of moderately high BP (I think it was like 130/88 or something) one time at 38 weeks, and my protein dips were all zero, there was no reason for intervention. And I'm glad, because things went naturally and quickly, and I didn't feel like garbage afterward. However, I did have some high BP readings 2 or 3 weeks postpartum that I can't figure out, and no other symptoms or signs of PE. Then after 1 month postpartum BP was totally fine.

That rocks, Amy!

I will be there! Not sure if I will be bringing the kids with me or not...depends on how they behave that week.

YAY!! And thanks for the bump up, Alissa!
