4 Months

Today Mamie would be 4mths old. I can't believe it has already been 4 months. It seems just like yesterday. It hasn't been the best day for me but the beautiful weather sure has helped. Taylor and I just got back from visiting Mamie's grave. We were so surprised when we arrived and someone had put a pumpkin there for her. I burst into tears... how speical to know that there are still so many thinking about our sweet baby girl. I have been thinking about how everyone has been taking their kids to the pumpkin patch and how we would be doing that if she was with us. Whoever brought her that pumpkin we want to thank you so much. It means the world to us.

We love you Mamie and miss you so very much.

    We just had Joshua's 5th Birthday it is so hard to imagine. My little man would have been starting school soon and that IS hard to beleive. There will be days when you thank the lord for all of these sad days. You will NEVER change these events that have taken place, but it is all in his grand plan and timing. I think of all the mom's like us who long for that one more moment with our angels. We felt them move and heard their heart beats. They were and are and always will be a large part of out lives. I am so glad I had the chance to be Joshua's mom. Though nothing evern "makes it better" be glad and rejoice in the lord for the moments you had with her when you were one.
    My 3 year old just told me she was a beautiful angel baby like his bubba!

    Sarah ~ My heart is so heavy for you. I am so sad we don't have our precious baby girls. Mamie is beautiful!

    I have just been reading over your blog, and I have felt the same exact feelings. I love that you are able to go into Mamie's nursery. It helps me to be in Reese's nursery, too.

    Sarah, I wish I could make your pain go away because I know how terrible it is. I pray you have a peaceful night and that GOD's new mercies carry you tomorrow.

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...

Please Pray!

Today has been a very emotional day. I got a text around 10am from NILMDTS that a baby that was delivered at 38 weeks was about to pass. I froze when I saw the text. It made me so sick to think of what that family was going through. The whole day my head has been in the clouds thinking of this family. Why does this have to happen? Just a little while ago Taylor and I were snuggled up on the couch having a glass of wine and watching tv when I got a call from one of my favorite wedding clients from a few years back. She began crying as she told me her cousin went in for her 38 week check up today and they could not find the heartbeat...... I immediately began having flash backs of me sitting in the ultrasound room as they told me Mamie had died. What is going on??? I just want to scream right now! My client wanted to know if I would be willing to photograph their precious baby once he was delivered. That was a question I didn't have to think about. I told her...

Update on Brit and baby

A few weeks back Amanda and I had to rush Brit to labor and delivery because she was having serious contractions. Being only 30 weeks at the time made it very scary. Baby Abe needs to say put for a while so he can keep cooking. They hooked her up and monitored her while they gave her fluids and pain meds to stop the contractions. Thankfully she had not dilated and it all turned out to be okay and she got to go home after a couple of hours. Everyone has been taking turns with Silas to get him out so she can rest. Dr. Wendel said she needs to take it easy and rest as much as she can. I picked him up for the park the other day. I took him to the old park that Britney and I grew up playing in. We had so much fun running around and hiking the trails. I love that little guy. - Sarah
