Baby Bean

So we are so excited to announce the great news.  We are expecting another baby :)  YEA!  It happened way quicker than we thought and we feel so very blessed.  Both times with Mamie and Burke it took us a while and with this little bean it happened just like that.   :)

I am 9 weeks this week making me due March 19th 2013.  We believe this little blessing was conceived right around Mamie's birthday.  How cool is that!

I haven't been feeling great I will admit.  I have been really tired, nauseated and super emotional.  I know my hormones are all jacked up right now but they have also taken me off of my lexapro which I started taking about 2 years ago.  I know I need to do what is best for baby bean but man is it hard.  I cry at everything and I am freaking out about this baby.  I have nightmares all the time that I am miscarrying.  I know it has to do with what I do on a daily basis with Mamie's Poppy Plates.   I just know too much.  I deal with mom's and dad's every day that lose their sweet baby and it just makes this process a little hard for me.  I have been doing LOTS of praying and I know God will calm my heart.  I just need to trust and believe.  I need to let go on the fact that Lexapro was in my life and lean on Him for He is way more powerful than anything I can take.

We went to the doctor this Tuesday.  They have a new ultrasound room that I can go to and they even took us in a different direction from the ultrasound room where we found out Mamie had died.  As we walked back I felt a huge knot in my stomach form and I couldn't hold back the tears.  I was so scared.  I am so thankful for Taylor.  What an amazing man he is.  He put his arm around me and I knew no matter what it was all going to be okay.  It felt like forever before she put the wand on my belly.  And then she said, "Look at that beautiful little heartbeat."  All my anxiousness disappeared. Taylor and I just sat there looking at our beautiful little bean wiggling around in my belly.  It kept kicking it's tiny legs and pulling its hands up by its face.  HOW AMAZING!  For people to say that isn't life!  WOW!

My check up went great and now we are on our way to baby number 3.  I can't believe this is my third pregnancy.  I feel it already.  Yes my belly is already poking out.  Britney said the other day, "Sarah you are going to have to start telling people you are pregnant because you are already showing."

God is so good and I know He will have His hand on this pregnancy just like He did with the other two.

  1. I know you because you've photographed some of my friends' weddings--please don't feel stalked. =) Congratulations! (And Hang in there!) I needed to hear "Hang in there" much more than "Congratulations" throughout both of my pregnancies. What a blessing.

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...
