Busy Boo

Burkie boo is so busy these days.  He loves to crawl as fast as he can away from you squealing wanting you to chase him.   He also loves to crew on paper.  If he gets a hold of a book, magazine, well anything paper he takes a nice bite out of it and then just holds it in his mouth.  Today was his first day of Mother's Day out.  He had a really great day.  When I came to pick him up his teachers were cracking up.  They said "See this mess... Burke cleaned off all the shelves right before you got here."  They also said at lunch he dumped all of his food off of his paper plate and started chewing on the plate.  Ha... I told them that didn't surprise me one bit.  He's a little billy goat.  

I did pretty good dropping him off.  There was another baby there that was crying on the floor when I put him down.  He sat there and looked at her for a second and then made the most pitiful face and started crying.  His teachers said he was totally fine after that.  At lunch they said that he was being so silly in his chair and another little girl in his class would mimic what he was doing.  They said they were so interested in each other....  

I hadn't planned on putting Burke in Mother's Day out this early until everything blew up with the race.  We have so much to do and the days are flying by.  Brit and I dropped all the boys off, hoped in the car and spent the whole day running around picking up things for the goodie bags, dropping off signs and we made a big trip to Walmart to get bubbles, sidewalk chalk, water jugs, baby pools (for the water) and other things that we need for the big day.  I am getting so excited!  We have a big race meeting tomorrow night and I can't wait to see everyone on the committee.  All the girls on the committee have been amazing.  They have gone above and beyond on everything.

I promise to keep posting here.  I have been so bad about doing this.  There has been so much going on but I still have so much that I need to blog and also just journal and get off my chest.  Next up are some pictures from Memorial Day weekend at the lake.

Gus is so good with Burke.  He lets him crawl all over him.  We have been working on being very very gentle with Gus and Burke is doing pretty good at it.  And I know y'all all probably think this child never smiles.  He does I promise!!!!  You would think since I am a photographer I could catch that but geez I can't ever get it:)

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
