We just got back from the beach. What a nice and relaxing time we had. Mamie has really been active. I mean my belly has been doing some serious moving around. While we were at the beach we saw a couple of little bald headed babies and it got me so excited. I can't believe how close it is getting. I really think we are going to have a little baldy ourselves.
We took some pictures at the beach that I will post later. Silas would lift up my shirt and say "Mamie". I would say tell her hi and he would wave his sweet little hand and say "hi". I can't wait to see those two together.
We still have a lot to get done before she comes. Mrs. Karen aka Mimi is coming to paint the tree on the wall behind the crib sometime soon. I can't wait to see it finished. The drapes should be done soon and those are going to look adorable. Once I get it all put together I will take a picture for you all to see.
Here is what baby is doing this week.
Hello, Sarah!
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb.

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...
