Time is flying by

I can't believe we are in the middle of October. Where in the world are the days going? Everything has been going pretty good around here. I have been super busy with work and Mamie's Poppy Plates. We had our second board meeting last night and were in a trade show a few weeks ago. We are getting such a great response.
The garden is blooming again and it is so beautiful. Taylor and I are planning on picking leaves up soon and I will take some pictures to share with you guys.
Dad and I met with the man down at the cemetery and got everything changed around. I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel. He told us that the headstone should be moved by this Friday unless there is a funeral. I am keeping my fingers crossed. While we were down there Mamie's little wind chime was going crazy. :)
So many people have been asking me about where Taylor and I are with this whole trying to get pregnant thing... well all I can say is that we are still taking a break from the whole fertility stuff and SO happy we are. The stress that put us under was just silly. I mean how in the world do you think you are going to get pregnant being so stressed. Plus there was just no love there. We have been through enough already and having to show our face at the fertility clinic because we can't get pregnant. Ugh..... They never remembered us or what we were doing. I mean read a chart man. There were a few nice nurses but the majority seemed to be so unhappy with their jobs. Okay enough of that.....:) I have gone through so many emotions over these past couple of months. Over the summer I was completely at peace and thought maybe we just aren't supposed to have any other children. I was totally fine with it. Over the past couple of months that want for another child has grown so much in me. I have done lots of praying and asking God to just take that want out of me and he hasn't. I truly believe our time is just around the corner. I mean how could it not be? Right? :)

  2. Right! I truly feel that when the time is right, God gives you what you need. It gets me through my doubtful days too. The phases will always come and go...that's the way healing is. And I think it's fantastic that you're letting go of the stress right now. Let go and let God. It's the smartest sentence ever uttered. Love you Buss!

  3. I just love reading your blog. You know I feel exactly the way you do about that place. So, if you ever want information on the other, absolutely wonderful place, just let me know. Ha! (Praying you don't need it, but just in case) But for real....having doctors, nurses,lab techs, and office staff who know you and your story and remember you can actually make the whole fertility treatment thing much more pleasurable!! Praying for you.

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
