7 Weeks

Picture of your developing baby

Well, I am 7 weeks today.  I just got home from taking Jack, Brayden, Brian and Ashleigh's Christmas pictures.  We had a lot of fun out in the leaves.  It was so good to see them and visit for a little while.  Hopefully we will have more time to hang out on Friday at the game :)  I just got my baby center email about what Poppy Seed is going this week.  It truly is amazing what that tiny little thing is doing right now.  It is measuring at about a half inch long.  Tiny little thing :)  They compare it to a blueberry!  

There are some girls getting together tonight over at my friends Lauren's house.  I have been debating if I should go or not.  Taylor and I talked it over and I think I am going to go and going to announce the great news tonight.  I mean why not :)  I am a little nervous.  I guess it is that excited nervousness.... I will let you all know how it goes.  

Here is what baby center said today....

Hello, Sarah!

The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.

Introducing Mamie's Poppy Plates

As you all know, I am Mamie's mom, and Mamie was my first child. I was pregnant with her from October 2008 to June 25th, 2009 when she was born a sleeping angel (stillborn) two and a half weeks before her due date. Stillbirth and infant death are realities that too many parents face even today. Did you know that each year 1 in 115 babies delivered is stillborn? And 1 in every 102 newborns die before the age of 28 days old? Now, a year after losing Mamie, I have started Mamie's Poppy Plates, my organization providing keepsakes for parents who are not able to take their babies home from the hospital. Because handprints and footprints are something that we cherish as parents of children in Heaven or here on this earth, I wanted to find a beautiful way to preserve such a precious reminder of our babies. Your donation of $13 will provide a plate to bereaved families who are delivering at St. Vincent Hospital. Their baby’s birth stats, hand and footprints will be stampe...

VBS

Burke and Winnie just finished their first Vacation Bible School and they had a blast.  I did as well :)  I got to help in Burkes class which is always really interesting.  There were about 20 3yr olds in there so it was WILD :)  It was a fun 3 days of learning about how God is our light.  We sang "This little light of mine" everyday and Winnie is trying so hard to sing it.  She walks around the house with her little pointer finger up mumbling.  I love it. - Sarah Winnie eating the stickers instead of putting them on her art piece :)
