Good Morning

I had a pretty good day yesterday. Taylor, Gus and I took dad's jeep out. It was perfect weather. We went down to the cemetery to visit Mamie. I got really upset about where they placed the headstone. It is too far from where she is actually buried. I feel like I am being a crazy mom by I want it moved. Taylor and I talked to my parents last night and I couldn't hold the tears in. I want Mamie to be in between the 4 of us. Dad and mom were very understanding and we are going to visit with the cemetery and have my parents plots moved to the other side of Taylor and I and the headstone moved. My stomach was in knots thinking about it but after our discussion I had a huge feeling of relief. I brought home her wreath and am going to redo it for the fall as well. I miss that sweet baby so much I can hardly stand it.

Last Tuesday we got a call about a friend that I went to high school with that lost her baby at 20 weeks. She had gone in for her big ultrasound when they couldn't find his heartbeat. My hearts hurts so badly for this couple. I began stressing out because Northwest Arkansas doesn't have Mamie's Poppy Plates in their hospitals yet. I wanted her to have a plate. Thankfully the next morning a friend headed up to be by her side and we sent a plate with her. Now she has this beautiful plate to remember her sweet little boy by and I am so thankful we were able to get one up to her.

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

Burke is 3!!!!!

Okay I have decided that time is going by way too fast.  Burke just turned 3 the beginning of June!  I can not believe it.  I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital having the little guy!  We had a fun small family party and he is loving some super hero's right now so that was the theme :)  Silas really wanted to jump out when he walked in and yell surprise so that is what we did :)  Burke is super shy and he really wasn't a fan of it all.  Pibby and Pops got him his first bike and it is SO cute.   I picked up a balloon for all the kids and one special spider man one for Boo.  He has always loved balloons.  He said the sweetest thing....... he wanted to let his balloons go up to Mamie so she would know that it was his birthday.  I couldn't believe he let his special Spider Man one go.  It made me want to cry.  She should be here with us.  ANYWAYS, it was a fun day and I got some pictures of course and a few videos.  Happy 3rd Birthday Burkie BOO!  We love you so so

We are having a BOY!

Sorry for the delay on announcing the sex of our little Olive. We found out last week that we are having a baby boy and we are SO excited. We would have been excited either way we just want a healthy and happy baby here on earth with us. We already have a name for our sweet little guy. His full name will be Burke Kenneth Adams. Burke (what we will call him) is my mother's maiden name and we have planned to use it since the first day we started talking about babies. Kenneth is after Taylor's dad and that is also Taylor's first name. I wasn't prepared for the crazy emotions I had after finding out the sex. I wasn't sad at all because it was a boy I would have been the same way if it was a girl. It has just been a very emotional roller coaster. I have kind of kept myself separated from this baby. I just don't want my heart to get hurt again. The feelings are SO hard to explain. You mothers out there that are reading this that have lost and then had a
