      I posted your blog to my facebook page so that more people would be praying for you. One of my sweet clients just sent this message. Here is her baby on my bloghttp://www.gretchendavisphotographyblog.com/Temporary/?p=3428 Her message is below. I'm praying for your sweet sweet Burke with all my heart friend.
      Hey, I don't know Sarah, but I know of her story. If you think it will help her, please tell her that Norah had a choroid plexus cyst too on her brain. My dr said they almost always resolve by birth. We had extra ultrasounds too and it was terrifying. But everytime it got smaller... And she's perfect. Something like 30% have these cysts and they are only seen bc our technology is so good. No follow up was needed. I know a cyst on the brain sounds so bad but if you think it will help her, show her Norah.

      Just wanted to let you know that after our 20 week ultrasound with Hunt his kidneys appeared enlarged too . . . . we went to LR for ultrasounds twice. The ultrasound also showed one of his brain ventricles close to the "enlarged" stage -- another soft marker. He, of course, is fine -- praying that baby Burke is too!! Courtney

      Sarah, I will be praying so hard for you and Baby Burke. Try, try, try not to read about what "could" happen. Our litttle Fuller is proof that miracles do happen. God will bring him to you safely if that is His will. God is obviously using your family and mine for special reasons. It's just not always so easy to understand his plan, it it? Be strong - you have lots of love and prayer coming your way. Love, Emily

      Praying for Baby Burke, please tell her on my 20 week US with my Morgan, they saw a Choroid Plexus Cyst and it had disappeared (as they usually do) at my next US.

      I love the name! BTW J Burke…that’s great!

      I know it doesn’t help much to say “don’t worry.”

      I have a friend…I may have told you about her, who I went to college and med school with…she had all sorts of problems in utero---cysts in the brain, she got stuck with HIV infected needles a couple of times in the ER and she thought that Madelyn would born with AIDS. She spent 7-8 months in crazy fear and Madelyn miraculous turned out just fine. It was truly a miracle. I do believe miracles happen.

      We love you…you’ll have lots of folks thinking and praying for you. You are so loved.

They said she would miscarry, she never miscarried. They said with all the other issues with the baby that he would die shortly afterbirth, he survived!!! Six months later he is a healthy little baby with no health issues! The power of prayer! Hope this story was uplifting to you.

    A friend of mine sent me a link to your blog tonight. She follows your blog from time to time, but said God put it on her heart to read your blog tonight. As soon as she read your post on CPC she immediately thought of me…

    Your story sounds very familiar to my own. In the fall of 2008, I found out at my 20 wk ultrasound that my sweet baby boy also had CPC on both sides of the brain. We were scared, didn’t know what to think, and like you guys went straight to Google! Maybe not the best choice…but we wanted to find out anything and everything we could! Our doctors reassured us that CPCs typically dissolve on their own, but they were a “small” marker for genetic disorders. At 30 weeks, after two Level II ultrasounds, we were relieved to find out that every thing had resolved on its own!

    Since our experience, we’ve had a few friends and family members go through the same thing…all of which resolved by the third trimester. I know it’s scary, mind consuming, nerve racking, and emotional…just to name a few! But I also know it’s comforting to hear/read stories about others who have had the same experience…

    If you want to read our whole story….thoughts, emotions, etc. during that time in our lives, here’s the link to where our story begins

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
