Good morning everyone. I hope you all are out enjoying the amazing weather today. I am out on my deck.... does that surprise anyone :) having my cup of coffee and just taking it easy. I am writing today to tell you about the new Mamie's Poppy Plates blog we have just released. We are so excited about how well this whole project has been received and are now going non profit hopefully by the first of the year. YAHOO!!!!!! I am thrilled and it warms my heart to know there are so many of you out there supporting us. I wanted to give you the link to the new blog so you can bookmark it, follow it, put it on your facebook page, send it to others, etc. We will be starting a fan page on facebook after the first of the year as well so stay tuned for that. Thanks guys and have a great day.
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...
