Burkes room

We got busy on Burke's room as soon as we knew it was a boy. Good thing since I am almost 33 weeks and so tired and the doctors are wanting me to take it easy. I love the way it turned out. I wanted to use Mamie's curtains so I worked the room off of them. I love the handmade look so that is what I went for. I found an adorable quilt on etsy that helped me think of what colors to use. From there it all fell together. I have a few more things to do but over all it is ready to go.

Below is a blanket that Kat's (one of my wedding clients) grandmother made for Burke. Isn't it beautiful!

These are the curtains that I had made for Mamie's room.

This light fixture we found on Land of Nod and Taylor worked super hard to get it hung. YEA daddy Tay. :)

The rocker is my Aunt Mamie's that my mom had refinished for baby Mamie's room.

This was the quilt that gave me more inspiration for the room

This tree trunk below is one I picked up when I was in Helena, AR. Well I didn't pick it up. My friend Bonnie got her husband to load it up for me. Taylor and I sanded it down and we are using it as a side table.

Mimi (one of Brits good friends) had this diaper bag made for me. Isn't it adorable!

I will take some better pictures later :)

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...
