It has been a super busy week but I am almost done and then it is time to get a little rest before Mamie gets here. I have a wedding in Fayetteville this weekend that I am really excited about and Dr. Sellers said I was good to go. We are going to stay with our good friends Ashley and Dustin. They have moved into a new house and we are excited to see it. We are also going to see Matthew and Jayna. I can't wait to compare our bellies. :) Owen is going to be here before we know it. Maybe he will decide to come this weekend so we can see him. I am so excited for them. I know Jayna is getting a little nervous but I know she is going to do great. Mamie, we know you and Owen are going to be great friends. We talk almost every day about you two. :) We just can't wait to see your sweet faces.

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...
