We are very lucky to be parents to Ally and Katy. When I was 7 weeks along in my 3rd pregnancy I found that we were expecting twins and that they had a rare condition (occurs with less than 1% of identical twins) that is normally fatal. The pregnancy was very high-risk, and they were born by emergency C-section 14 weeks premature weighing only 1 lb 7 oz and 1 lb 11 oz.. I was told by doctors they'd likely have mental and physical impairments--but they don't. We are so blessed!

St. Patrick's Day is on our minds, and we've got the perfect way to see if the luck of the Irish is with you: We're giving away five prize packages including $50 Dierbergs gift cards and a package of Patch merchandise. All you have to do is show us "Why I'm Lucky."

Enter our "Why I'm Lucky" contest for a chance to win. Here's how:

  • Upload a photo that shows off why you're a lucky guy or gal by clicking on the "Upload Photos and Videos" button to the left. Remember to give it a caption so we know why it shows off your luck. Maybe it's a son or daughter who's made you proud for years. Maybe it's an award from your colleagues, a winning lottery ticket, or a picture of the fallen tree that just missed your car. You decide. (Pictures need to conform to Patch's terms of use policy.)
  • Just show us tastefully in pictures what makes you lucky and tell us in the caption why it's a lucky charm for you.

Once you've entered, we'll enter you into a drawing to be one of five winners of our Patch prize package, which includes a $50 Dierbergs gift card, a Patch ball cap, T-shirt, tote bag and note pad.

OK, now for the rules:

Im lucky because I was told my triplets were all going to die ( it was too soon for them ) but God was watching over us. I brought two home and one went to heaven after 2 weeks of fighting very hard. These children have changed my life forever - one being totally blind and the other with lung issues it teaches me that no matter what someone else is worse off. My situation which i thought was the worst ever wasnt - it makes me the luckiest mom ever
