It's HEART month!

Yes, yes I know Valentines day is more than a week away.  But I am talking about your actual heart.  Heart disease is the number one killer of Women, more than all the cancers combined.  Now I am not downplaying cancer, Cancer is a HORRIBLE thing.  But it is heart month, and my baby is a CHD kid(congenital heart defect).  Her Grandma, my mom has a heart that beats to its own drummer and drives Grandma crazy when it goes out of whack.  Her great grandmother died of stroke after quadruple heart bypass surgery.  My baby's daddy, aunt and grandfather all have hereditary high cholesterol.  These are all very bad things.  Leading me to this, while it is heart month, please think about the health of your heart. 
Grace's school is doing Jump Rope for Heart which raises awareness as well as money for the American Heart Association.  Build-a-bear is running a promotion with Children's Heart Foundation which is an organization that works closely with doctors and hospitals that deal with CHD kids.  Lily has her 2 year post operative visit in two weeks,after which we will be going to build a bear to get a bear and donate too. Aunt Molly works for the American Heart Association in California, which means she is far away but is full of info and is also a CHD kid herself.  So if you need to know what to do, I have some resources for you.  But most of all think of how to keep yourself healthy and you heart beating so that your LOVE day can be full of HEART.
Talk to you soon.
