29 week ultrasound

A few weeks ago Jyl called and said she wanted to do an ultrasound for us. Taylor and I were very excited but I was a little nervous. This whole pregnancy with Burke is following right along with my pregnancy with Mamie. As the days pass by I feel like I am starting to go crazy. Being due a week off from Mamie's due date just blows my mind. I know God has a wonderful plan for us but it is still so hard to keep your thoughts from wondering. We decided since our last ultrasound we did with Jyl for Mamie was 30 weeks we would switch it up a bit and go in on our 29th week. It was so great to see that little guy. He has grown so much and we couldn't believe how much he looks like Mamie did. He was so active during the ultrasound. At one point when we were looking at his little legs he bent them both and then kicked at the same time. Taylor said, "Wow babe did you fill that?" I had to laugh. It feels like he is trying to kick through my stomach at times. It was a great ultrasound and it gives both Taylor and I a little bit of relief every time we get to see our sweet boy.

Below on the left is a picture of Burke and on the right is a picture of Mamie. Pretty awesome right!

Sweet little love bug. He was snoozing in this picture below.

Below is a foot :)

Here is the picture of the legs right before he did his kick.

We of course had to ask if she could see some hair like Mamie. I think he might have a little like his sis. :)

I hope you are all having a wonderful day.

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...

Leaving it in God's hands

Taylor and I have been given the okay to try and get pregnant again. I haven't blogged about it because I really wasn't sure I wanted everyone to know. I remember everyone saying how fertile you are after you have a baby and how most people get pregnant quickly. It has been 4 months now and I have really been struggling with all of this. I guess I had it in my head that God wouldn't make us wait very long after all the pain we have gone through. For those of you who don't know it took us right around a year to get pregnant with Mamie. I am not big into taking drugs. Not that I think it is bad for people to take medicine. It just isn't for me. My mom found out about this book called "The Infertility Cure" written by Randine Lewis, Ph.D. You can click on the book and it will link to a book store. We ran out and got the book and I began interviewing acupuncturist. I found a wonderful lady Dr. Lei at Shie Ji Acupuncture Clinic . She is an amazing woman. N...
