Okay so another busy week

I know I said last week was my last busy week but I was a little confused. This is my last big work week before I get a little down time before our little nugget gets here. I have a shoot everyday this week which I am excited about and then I have my last wedding this coming weekend here in Little Rock. Britney and Mom have been amazing. I think they are nesting for me :) We have been organizing and getting all of Mamie's clothes and blankets washed. While Britney went through and laid out what I need to pack for the hospital I went through all the maternity clothes that people let me borrow. I am going to get those washed and returned this week. One more thing off the list :) While I was gone to a shoot Mom and Brit kept working away and finished organizing the closet that Taylor finished out. They also cleaned our garage, planted flowers and organized the laundry room. They have been awesome, I don't know how I am going to thank them for all of this. The nursery is soooooooo close to being finished. We are still waiting for the drapes and the cushions for the rocking chair and Mamie's little chair. I can't wait for those to be here and then we will be good to go. Well except we have a shelf we need to spray and hang oh and get her initials hung as well. I am holding of and am going to get a large gallery wrap of our sweet girl to go over the changing table. Here are her shoes. Aren't they so cute This is what we have decided to bring her home in. Isn't it beautiful. Mamie you are going to look like a little angel baby in this. I hope to have my good friend Ben photograph the homecoming. I laugh just thinking of me and Taylor getting her in the carrier and out to the car. I know we will be so nervous. We are so excited. She is going to be here so soon. I can't wait to snuggle up with her. -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
