Belly Shot :)

We went to the doctor for my check up on Tuesday. When I first got
there I had to drink down some kind of orange drink and then was told
to be back at the lab in an hour for my glucose test. While we waited
we had another ultrasound. Mamie has gotten so much bigger. She is
measuring at 2lbs. 3oz. I can't believe it. She is a growing
girl :) After the ultrasound we met with Dr. Sellers. He said
everything looks good. My placenta is still a little low so they will
have to keep an eye on it. I think he said they will give me another
ultrasound at 34 weeks. I love all these ultrasounds and getting to
see her. The glucose test didn't go as well. I missed it by 4 points
which they said happens a lot. So next week I get to go back at 7:45
Wednesday morning and spend most of my morning having my finger
abused :) just kidding. They will just have to prick my finger 3 or
4 times. Hopefully I will come back with good news on that.

Yall are going to be so proud of me. Taylor just took a picture of my
belly. I am not doing as good as Kathy did on her pictures but at
least I am getting a few here and there. I loved watching her grow on
her blog. Anyway here is the belly and a few ultrasound pics of our
little Mamie.

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
