I am sure a lot of you must have gotten this email from the March of Dimes. I love babies and I realize that they are just trying to document how different babies live throughout the world however around the world babies die, what about that? Why not do a realistic movie about that? It is not always cutesie and life don't always have a happy ending. I know they are not trying to bring people down but it's not about that, death happens and it happens to many babies, it's reality. I know they are trying to market and make money. Most people want to watch a feel good movie. I am sure proceeds will go to help them but on Mother's day weekend!!! You will not find me watching this movie. I am already dreading Mother's day like would not believe. Yes, I am blessed and I have many things to be grateful for. Julian is amazing and I am blessed to have him in life but this year Sami was supposed to be here with me too. I should be picking out the cutest little dress for her so we can take many pictures to add to my collection. This year I feel let down by own body who couldn't create a perfectly healthy baby again. Uuugghhh... I am just being a little bitter today.

The BABIES Are Coming!
In celebration of March for Babies, the March of Dimes is excited to announce a national partnership with the new Focus Features' movie BABIES!
BABIES opens in theatres May 7th, Mother's Day weekend. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Thomas Balmès, from an original idea by producer Alain Chabat, this film simultaneously follows four babies on an epic journey — from first breath to first steps.
The children are, respectively, in order of on-screen introduction: Ponijao, who lives with her family near Opuwo, Namibia; Bayarjargal, who resides with his family in Mongolia, near Bayanchandmani; Mari, who lives with her family in Tokyo, Japan; and Hattie, who resides with her family in the United States, in San Francisco.
Re-defining the nonfiction art form, BABIES joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all.
Make plans to see BABIES with a group! Learn about group sales or call 1-800-4BABIES for more information.

Ugh... I felt bitter about this too and actually did a post about it couple weeks ago! I have no plans on seeing it either. Many hugs to you!
>:( that is my angry face....i guess a movie on death of babies is too sad for them, i dont blame them, its TOO SAD for us too, can we skip it then? no? i guess i didnt think we could but i tried...im sorry sweetie, i have not gotten that "special" email yet, lets see i may have jinxed myself now..xoxoxo
You may think that seeing a movie about losing a baby would be better, but "March of the Penguins" touched upon losing a (penguin) baby and my aunt who lost a baby 30 years ago couldn't watch the penguin mommies react when their babies died and left the movie crying and sad. I think the movie "Babies" will make her shed tears of happiness and not sadness. Hope you will give it a try.
