Evening Ritual

He have had Burke on a great routine before bed for a long time now and I decide why not start trying to start that with Winnie now.  We are going on night 3 of them both going to bed at 7pm.  Burke loves to snuggle and read books before bed with one of us.  Boo usually gets a bath before dinner and I am now trying to bathe Winnie right around 7 while Taylor reads books and gets Burke down.  Then I spend a little time with Winnie while she kicks and coos on the bed while I get her lotioned up and in her jamies.  In just 3 nights I feel like it is really working.  We get her all snuggled up in her sleep sac and she is ready for her passy and her swing.  This has been really nice because it is giving Taylor and I some time to visit and get anything done around the house we need to do.  The other night I was super pumped because Winnie didn't wake up to eat till 2am.  That was a long stretch for her little 9lb self.  :)  The second night she woke up at midnight wanting to eat and again at 2.  Wasn't the best night for rest for me but that was okay.  Last night we woke her up at 10 and fed her right before we went to bed and she then let me sleep from 10:30-2:30.  Anyway, I wish I had of journaled more about Burkes sleeping and eating patterns so I could look back and remember.  Its amazing how quickly you forget about all the sleep you miss out on :)


Anyway we shall see how tonight goes.

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...

VBS

Burke and Winnie just finished their first Vacation Bible School and they had a blast.  I did as well :)  I got to help in Burkes class which is always really interesting.  There were about 20 3yr olds in there so it was WILD :)  It was a fun 3 days of learning about how God is our light.  We sang "This little light of mine" everyday and Winnie is trying so hard to sing it.  She walks around the house with her little pointer finger up mumbling.  I love it. - Sarah Winnie eating the stickers instead of putting them on her art piece :)
