Girls Weekend

This weekend we had a much needed girls weekend at the lake.  What a fun filled time full of laughter!  Saturday we went out all day on the lake.  Yall you will not believe this.  We were all lounging in the water talking when all of a sudden Jenny started freaking out.  Earlier that day we had talked about gators and all the crazy stuff we saw on shark week :)  We all started laughing because we thought maybe a fish brushed up against her foot in the water.  NO!!!  Yall there was a snake that swam right up to her and was practically on her shoulder.  Everyone started freaking out but laughing at the same time.  We all pulled our legs up in our raft while we looked around for it.  It was a little green snake that I think was totally confuses as to how he got in the middle of the lake in the first place.  A few minutes later after everyone had calmed down Britney screamed, "There it is!"  It was back!  We ended up getting in the boat and moving to another cove. 

That night we made a huge dinner that was SO yummy.  It is making my tummy grawl right now just thinking about it.  The weather was amazing so we all sat on the deck and had some good girl talk.  

I love spending time with my girls!

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
