Okay so another busy week

I know I said last week was my last busy week but I was a little confused. This is my last big work week before I get a little down time before our little nugget gets here. I have a shoot everyday this week which I am excited about and then I have my last wedding this coming weekend here in Little Rock. Britney and Mom have been amazing. I think they are nesting for me :) We have been organizing and getting all of Mamie's clothes and blankets washed. While Britney went through and laid out what I need to pack for the hospital I went through all the maternity clothes that people let me borrow. I am going to get those washed and returned this week. One more thing off the list :) While I was gone to a shoot Mom and Brit kept working away and finished organizing the closet that Taylor finished out. They also cleaned our garage, planted flowers and organized the laundry room. They have been awesome, I don't know how I am going to thank them for all of this. The nursery is soooooooo close to being finished. We are still waiting for the drapes and the cushions for the rocking chair and Mamie's little chair. I can't wait for those to be here and then we will be good to go. Well except we have a shelf we need to spray and hang oh and get her initials hung as well. I am holding of and am going to get a large gallery wrap of our sweet girl to go over the changing table. Here are her shoes. Aren't they so cute This is what we have decided to bring her home in. Isn't it beautiful. Mamie you are going to look like a little angel baby in this. I hope to have my good friend Ben photograph the homecoming. I laugh just thinking of me and Taylor getting her in the carrier and out to the car. I know we will be so nervous. We are so excited. She is going to be here so soon. I can't wait to snuggle up with her. -Sarah

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...

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...

Update on Brit and baby

A few weeks back Amanda and I had to rush Brit to labor and delivery because she was having serious contractions. Being only 30 weeks at the time made it very scary. Baby Abe needs to say put for a while so he can keep cooking. They hooked her up and monitored her while they gave her fluids and pain meds to stop the contractions. Thankfully she had not dilated and it all turned out to be okay and she got to go home after a couple of hours. Everyone has been taking turns with Silas to get him out so she can rest. Dr. Wendel said she needs to take it easy and rest as much as she can. I picked him up for the park the other day. I took him to the old park that Britney and I grew up playing in. We had so much fun running around and hiking the trails. I love that little guy. - Sarah
