Hello World

Hello world, I know I know it has been a while since I posted last. Things have been a little busy around here. My photography business usually slows down the first of the year but has not done so this year. I am so thankful for having a job that I absolutely love. Mamie's Poppy Plates has been also keeping me super busy. We are working on a new awesome website and I signed papers last Friday down at Mitchell Williams to get our 501(c)(3). When that comes back we will officially be a non-profit organization. I can't believe it! I have spent some time up in NWA also meeting with people and we have partnered up with Imagine Studio and have formed a group of girls up there to head up MPP there. It is an awesome group of women who have been personally touched by a loss themselves or have had a friend that has had a loss. I am truly amazed everyday who God brings into my life. He is so good and I know this project is going to go so far thanks to so many of you out there that are supporting us. Stay tuned on more from Mamie's Poppy Plates. Be sure to check out our blog www.mamiespoppyplates.com and friend us on facebook. We need your support, and so do all the families out there going through this horrible loss.
On a different note, we have been busy working on Burke's room. I am excited about how it is turning out. I will post pictures soon. It is SO cute and so what I wanted. Natural, earthly and vintage. Now all we need is our baby boy.
I am in my 23rd week now and boy is this baby moving and shaking in there. He kicked so hard the other night I saw my stomach move. I think I am in for it when he gets bigger. That little booger might break a rib ;) I am going in to see Dr. Sellers next week for my glucose test. I really hope that all comes back fine so I don't have to stay there all day drinking that yummy orange drink :) I also talked to our genetics counselor yesterday and we have moved our big appointment that was originally scheduled for the 31st to the 21st. YAHOO!!!! I am very anxious to see Burke and make sure everything is okay. I feel positive that it is. Once that is over we can move forward and get past all of that craziness.
There are so many babies on the way. Sarah, one of my best friends, had her baby girl Genna Kay a little over a week ago. She is SO adorable. I am going over on Tuesday to get my hands on her and take some family pictures of the three of them. I can't wait. I love photographing families so much. I love documenting real life! It is so special to me and I know when these families look back on their pictures they will see exactly what they were doing in that very moment. Anyway, enough talking. I just wanted to say hi and that I am still here and blogging. Don't give up on me :)
Everyone have a wonderful weekend
- Sarah

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
