5 Years!!!!!!

As I sit here tonight thinking back on the what was happening this very moment 5 years ago I get a sick feeling in my stomach and a huge lump in my throat.  I was in labor with our precious Mamie.  Knowing that she would be coming out and we would never hear her cry.  She would be born a sleeping angel.  Wow...... the emotions and memories flood through me like it happened just yesterday.  I sit and think about what she would be doing today.  Turning 5 is a big milestone.  She would be getting ready to start Kindergarten in the Fall.  She would be in the same grade as her cousins Cooper, Hayden and Brayden.  She would be going to Baker Elementary and be just a grade behind her cousin Silas.  I know they would all be such great friends.  Over these past years I have learned so much from her.  How to love better, how to lean on my Faith, how to take every moment as it comes and cherish all of them, to give back and help others, and to remember what is really important in life.

Mamie you are so loved!  We miss you so very much.  I know tomorrow will be an amazing day in Heaven as you celebrate your birthday.  We will be celebrating all you have done for us.  Even though you are not here we feel your presence every moment of the day.  You have changed us forever and I CANNOT WAIT to see you again.  What a day that will be!

Happy Birthday my precious love!

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 :)
