I NEED Caffine

Today is Brit and my day to work in the office and get business stuff done. :) I had a meeting at 11 so we both headed out to run some errands together. By the time we were on our way home we both were sitting slumped down in our seats yawning our little heads off. I thought I was going to pass out right there behind the steering wheel. When we got back to the house Brit decided to make her a yummy hot cup of coffee out of my new single gourmet cup coffee maker Tay got me for Christmas. We discussed that it might be okay for me to have just one cup :) But Brit suggested that I call my doctor first. Surprise surprise I had to leave a message. I mean all I wanted was a cup of coffee to get me back on my feet. Well the day went by and the phone rang plenty of times but never was it my nurse. 6:30pm I am sitting by the fire all snuggled up in a blanket when the phone rings. It was Dr. Sellers! I thought that was super nice that he called me back and about a cup of coffee and didn't make his nurse do the talking. I got the okay to have a little caffeine a week. Max 2 cups a week and to avoid carbonated drinks with caffeine. I was so excited! Isn't that so funny. I had my first cup of coffee yesterday morning and it was SO yummy. -Sarah

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

Burke 24 weeks and update on doctor's visit

We had our big ultrasound the other week and I have been meaning to update you all. Sorry for the delay. First off I did pass my glucose test which is great news. To celebrate Taylor bought me a big snickers :) ha! just what I needed after drinking pure sugar water all morning on an empty stomach. I did have a total melt down at Cornerstone that morning. After drinking the sugar water I figured Burke would be bouncing around in my belly. I couldn't get him to move at all. I can't even begin to tell you all how scared I was. I rushed back to my nurse in tears begging for them to get the doppler out. Within seconds I was on the table as they rubbed the doppler across by belly. I was a total wreck. I just keep thinking in my head "I have lost another baby!" The nurse quickly found his heartbeat and everything looked and sounded great. I was SO relieved but couldn't pull it together. I wanted to curl up in a ball and cry my heart out. Why? Why did I ha
