Our Appointment

Hey Guys,
Well we just got out of our appointment. We had an ultrasound
first thing and Mamie waved at us a couple of times. I woke up
feeling not so well this morning and thought I might loose it in the
ultrasound. But all was okay. :) She is right at the weight she
should be right now which is 7 oz.

After we finished with the ultrasound we meet with Dr. Sellers. I
really love having him as my doctor. He is so calm and doesn't make
us feel rushed or anything. He told us that I have a low lying
placenta which he hopes it will float up when I get bigger. If not I
will have to have a c-section. He also told us that Mamie has a cyst
on her brain..... he said he is not going to get all worried right
now. We scheduled an appointment with a specialist for Feb. 26th. He
wants to wait till I am 20 weeks and hopefully she will have absorbed
the cyst, then there will be nothing for us to worry about. It has
been a pretty hard morning for us. We are just so worried about our
little baby girl. Dr. Sellers said this is common and hopefully it
will just go away. We would really appreciate all of your prayers
these next 3 weeks.

I just scheduled an appointment with my acupuncturist for tomorrow
afternoon. I will feel better after seeing her. Then it's up to
patience and prayer until the 26th.

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...

Waiting

It is the end of April and I really can't believe how fast the months have passed us by. From what I told you in an earlier post Taylor and I have been given the okay to try for another baby. Month after month has been really hard when it just doesn't happen. I keep telling myself that God has a plan for us. I believe that he will bless us with another baby but I know it will be on his time not mine. I am still going to my weekly acupuncture which I absolutely love. She calms me. We have also started a new journey. Last month we were sent to the fertility doctor. They are hoping to get my body on a normal cycle which I have never had in my life. The beginning process was pretty emotional for me. I just didn't understand why I was having to go through more testing. We know we can get pregnant. My body just needed a little help. The whole experience is not what I expected. The clinic is pretty cold and sterile. I am not saying that they aren't nice it i...

Please Pray!

Today has been a very emotional day. I got a text around 10am from NILMDTS that a baby that was delivered at 38 weeks was about to pass. I froze when I saw the text. It made me so sick to think of what that family was going through. The whole day my head has been in the clouds thinking of this family. Why does this have to happen? Just a little while ago Taylor and I were snuggled up on the couch having a glass of wine and watching tv when I got a call from one of my favorite wedding clients from a few years back. She began crying as she told me her cousin went in for her 38 week check up today and they could not find the heartbeat...... I immediately began having flash backs of me sitting in the ultrasound room as they told me Mamie had died. What is going on??? I just want to scream right now! My client wanted to know if I would be willing to photograph their precious baby once he was delivered. That was a question I didn't have to think about. I told her...
