We started trying to have a baby back in January. In August my Doctor wanted to put me on clomid. We were not ready for that. I just didn't want to start putting all of those chemicals in my body. I found out about this book "The Infertility Cure". The author/doctor talks about Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I decided why not give it a try. So I called Dr. Lei and we got started. She is amazing! She was an OBGYN in China and came to the States I think about 15 years ago. She treats 10-15 infertility clients a week. Isn't that amazing. When Ashley Judd was in town she worked on her. Probably not for fertility but you never know :) She began working on my stress and many other things. I began taking all the herbs she prescribed. After the first month I could totally tell a difference. I felt so good and was just so chill. Work was not stressing me out which this time of year I am usually pulling my hair out. We started on my second month and sure enough I find out I am pregnant. I would tell anyone who is having problems not only with fertility but pains of any sort to think about acupuncture. It really has worked wonders on me. I feel so revived when I am finished with each session. Thank you, thank you Dr. Lei for helping us.

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...
