My have we grown!  In the last few months MMM has grown significantly.  I thought since we have so many new members that I would take this time to welcome all of our new moms and tell you a little about myself and Multiple Miracle Moms.

I have been a member of MMM for the last 7-1/2 years.  I joined when my twins were 7 weeks old.  I would have joined MMM sooner but I was on bed rest in the hospital (most of the pregnancy) and our computer was not wireless.  Unfortunately, I had no way of finding or contacting MMM.  Things were much different 7 years ago--there was no Facebook or Twitter and I did not have texting on my phone.  I basically had no contact with the outside world.  Much of my day was spent watching "Baby Story" on TV.  On March 28, 2004, my twins were born healthy at 34 weeks and only stayed in NICU for 6 days.  I have four boys:  a 17 year old, a 15 year old, and 7 year old identical twin boys.

After my twins were past the baby stage, I became more active in MMM.  I have held many Board positions in the past 7 years.  I have been MMM President for the last 2 years.  I feel so honored to be part of MMM, and some of my fondest memories have been made with MMM members.

One of the primary functions of MMM is support.  Our Board and general members strive to support each and every member of this club.  It is evident that this is happening almost daily.  I recently attended a meeting for a support group in our community (not related to having multiples), and it was a very informative meeting but there was something missing...that something was support.  MMM has made some recent changes so that we can support our members more effectively.  We started First Year Friendze last year; we have changed our monthly Business Meeting to meet the third Saturday morning and the third Monday evening alternating every other month;  MMM is on Facebook; also, MMM will now text you about upcoming events (if you choose to receive texts).  Although these are only a few small changes for MMM, these changes have been successful in meeting our goal of supporting our members.  We have other exciting ideas in the works, so stay tuned.  Our Board Members are very open to new ideas; if any of you have suggestions on how our club could better support you please let us know.

I want to say, in closing, that I personally have never met a greater group of women then the members of MMM and I am so thankful to be part of this MMM sisterhood.  I am excited about our new members and I look forward to meeting each and every one of you at one of our upcoming events.  I look back and I am very grateful for being part of MMM for the last 7 years, and I look forward to being a member for many, many years to come.
