    We are also doing a walk for our local NICU. Can you guys donate to me too?

    This year I'm going to donate notebooks and pens and some mirrors for kangarooing (they don't have many) and next year I would like to donate some bouncy chairs and mobiles which PF loves that some of the longer term babies might need.

    How are mirrors used for kangarooing? Our NICU didn't have this so I'm just curious
    TTC since June, 2011 with anovulatory PCOS, 1 blocked tube, and mild MFI
    3rd cycles clomid + Ovidrel = BFN
    4th cycles letrozole/Ovidrel + IUI = BFN
    IVF #1 = BFP! Twins due 2/5/2014

    @Laurendag‌ those blankets are a great idea! @xladybassx‌ it was hard to see her face when kangarooing so with the mirrors DH or I could angle it to see her face.
    I never would have thought of that - mirrors would have been so great!
    Hoping this one stays put a little longer

    @Laurendag  - that was kinda catty.  She is trying to support her team AND the March of Dimes. She should get the "perks" (although not a good word to use) if she is the one who inspired the donations...Maybe I read it wrong.

    @Mcsweets‌ Monetary reward in the form of a gift card=perk Sorrynotsorry As someone who is also walking I know what your team gets for each level of donations.
    I still don't see what's wrong with using social media to drum up donations...unless you're upset you didn't do it yourself.  If you don't want to donate to her, then don't. Geez.

    @Mcsweets‌ technically I think what @nblondheim‌ did could be considered soliciting which is against the TOS of the bump. Nblondheim is a known member here so I think that's why no one flagged it as abuse.

    I didn't even think of it that way or as that...

    I wasn't looking for donations for my team to get perks at all!!!

    My apologies...I didn't mean to do anything I shouldn't have or to cause issues!!!
