Ok, this particular blog post will be purely self-serving. But i hope you can be a part of it.
Please vote for our daughter Faith for Gerber’s baby photo contest on Facebook, Sept-4 – Sept. 24!
Go to this website => http://faith.paulus.me which will redirect you to the Facebook page to vote for her. (that page is https://apps.facebook.com/gerberps/detail.do?entry_id=456209 )
Why vote for Faith? She’s the quintessential Gerber baby for the 21st Century: a mix of African-American, Asian-American, Native American and European American. She's got a great smile, and a very happy, smart child with a bright future.
She was born at 26 weeks (out of the normal 40) at just 1 ½ pounds (670 grams). This little miracle has suffered some pain early on so she can bring joy to the future.

She may have been trying to be like her big sister, Mia, who was born 7 years ago at 15 1/2 OUNCES (ZERO pounds!) at 23 1/2 weeks. Mia had several doctor visits, lots of medications, treatments and therapies over the next few years. But she is now a 2nd grader, and happy and healthy, and a great sister, influencing her sister and making her laugh and smile even more than usual.
Ther have been a few struggles and sacrifices (especially financially and professionally) over the years. Winning this contest would be a big blessing for our entire family.
