Week 8

We had a great Thanksgiving here at the house.  It was so fun hosting our first Thanksgiving.  Mom, Dad, Brit, Jason, Silas, Cosy, and Maddie came over.  We had tons of food and it was so yummy.  Everyone just vegged here all day.  The boys of course watched football ALL day and night :)  It was so fun and relaxing.  Friday was game day.  We met Drew and Ashley over at Drew's dads house for more turkey dinner and visiting.  Taylor and I were so excited to see the twins.  They looked so adorable in their matching red outfits.  Drew and Taylor went to the game and use girls headed over to our house to play with the babies.  It was a very exciting game and WOO HOO we beat LSU!!!  The last part of the game was so exciting.  I kind of was sad I didn't go until the  boys called and told us how cold it was.  We all decided to go eat sushi and then head down to the Rev Room to see Boom Kinetic.  I was excited I could go since no one can smoke in there.  It was fun seeing people.  Zach and his wife I found out are prego and due in May.  I swear everyone is pregnant right now :)  It is so fun.  

Saturday was a pretty lazy day for me.  I wasn't feeling to well and was super tired from staying out the night before.  I pretty much took naps and sat by the fire.  Oh I did take pictures of Hayden and Cooper in the yard.  They turned out so cute. 

So we are 8 weeks :)  I can't believe it.  Taylor and I were reading out of our pregnancy book which we do every week to see what our Poppy Seed is doing.  It amazes me every week what I read.  Here is what baby center sent.

New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby —about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.


Taylor left for New Jersey yesterday and I will meet him there on Friday.  I can't wait.  We are going to spend the weekend in New York.  I will post some pictures when we get back.  

Another fun thing out found out.  Katy Breen Robertson text me the other night and she and David are also due in July.  How fun is that!  

Hope everyone is having a good hump day.

    Sarah,

    I'm finally glad to be able to send you and Taylor a message. Congrats on the the soon to be new arrival. I'm so happy for you and from reading your messages, you are as well.

    I wrote this great message about 2 weeks ago and still have in my send file but it wouldn't let me send. Hmm. Not sure. Something like when I worked for the Arkansas Gazette back in the day, they had a surprise party for Karen and I, the one thing I remembered the most is a banner that said, "Life as you know it will never be the same" I was concerned because I didn't understand at the time. When Steven was born I completely understood. That's when life truly began.

    Meredith, I thought I would surprise you by sending the blog invite :)

    I am so excited to have my girlfriends read along with our progress. We are so excited and we thought making a blog journal of everything that happens would be so cool to look back on.

    Scott,
    I am so glad you made it on the blog and left me a comment. It is so great to hear from you. You totally made me tear up. I never cry :) I must be hormonal :)

    Thanks guys for your comments and be sure to check back in. I will be posting more as the weeks go by :)

Baby Burke- Please Pray

Taylor and I went in for our big ultrasound this morning. I am 18 weeks along now, so they were checking out our baby boy closely. They found 2 genetic markers that caused a red flag. One cyst on the brain and his kidneys are enlarged. We need lots of prayers right now. Prayers for these markers to disappear and for our baby boy to be healthy. We also need prayers for our sanity as we wait, hope and pray. We will go back for another ultrasound in 8 weeks (March 31). We were told not to look this up on the internet and would appreciate only positive comments on this situation. God is good and we are leaving it in His hands. Thanks for your prayers, Sarah

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...

Leaving it in God's hands

Taylor and I have been given the okay to try and get pregnant again. I haven't blogged about it because I really wasn't sure I wanted everyone to know. I remember everyone saying how fertile you are after you have a baby and how most people get pregnant quickly. It has been 4 months now and I have really been struggling with all of this. I guess I had it in my head that God wouldn't make us wait very long after all the pain we have gone through. For those of you who don't know it took us right around a year to get pregnant with Mamie. I am not big into taking drugs. Not that I think it is bad for people to take medicine. It just isn't for me. My mom found out about this book called "The Infertility Cure" written by Randine Lewis, Ph.D. You can click on the book and it will link to a book store. We ran out and got the book and I began interviewing acupuncturist. I found a wonderful lady Dr. Lei at Shie Ji Acupuncture Clinic . She is an amazing woman. N...
