Better Day

One of my long time clients just left the house. I was so happy to
get Dawn's email this morning asking if she could come visit and bring
me some coffee. We had such a good visit. I got to show her all of
the framed pictures of Mamie, her hand print, the little piece of
curled hair the nurse cut for us, along with all the sweet gifts
people have sent us. I was telling her how amazing all of our friends
and family have been but not just that we have heard from so many
people that we don't even know. Sending us words of encouragement or
their stories of loss and how they are praying for us. We feel so
loved.

I am sitting here now as a storm blows in. I keep hearing the chime
of the angel bell one of my dear friends Shawna sent me that we hung
out on our deck. It is so beautiful! I feel so peaceful today. My
heart is calm........

I called Mike who does all of my business framing a little bit ago. I
wanted to thank him for the beautiful frames he put Mamie's pictures
in. Taylor and I hung them at the end of our hall right in between
our room and Mamie's nursery. I find myself standing there staring at
our beautiful baby a lot. Talking to her and telling her how much we
love her and miss her.

The storm is letting up now. I think I might go take a bath and have
some quiet time with God.

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
