Busy Boo

Burkie boo is so busy these days.  He loves to crawl as fast as he can away from you squealing wanting you to chase him.   He also loves to crew on paper.  If he gets a hold of a book, magazine, well anything paper he takes a nice bite out of it and then just holds it in his mouth.  Today was his first day of Mother's Day out.  He had a really great day.  When I came to pick him up his teachers were cracking up.  They said "See this mess... Burke cleaned off all the shelves right before you got here."  They also said at lunch he dumped all of his food off of his paper plate and started chewing on the plate.  Ha... I told them that didn't surprise me one bit.  He's a little billy goat.  

I did pretty good dropping him off.  There was another baby there that was crying on the floor when I put him down.  He sat there and looked at her for a second and then made the most pitiful face and started crying.  His teachers said he was totally fine after that.  At lunch they said that he was being so silly in his chair and another little girl in his class would mimic what he was doing.  They said they were so interested in each other....  

I hadn't planned on putting Burke in Mother's Day out this early until everything blew up with the race.  We have so much to do and the days are flying by.  Brit and I dropped all the boys off, hoped in the car and spent the whole day running around picking up things for the goodie bags, dropping off signs and we made a big trip to Walmart to get bubbles, sidewalk chalk, water jugs, baby pools (for the water) and other things that we need for the big day.  I am getting so excited!  We have a big race meeting tomorrow night and I can't wait to see everyone on the committee.  All the girls on the committee have been amazing.  They have gone above and beyond on everything.

I promise to keep posting here.  I have been so bad about doing this.  There has been so much going on but I still have so much that I need to blog and also just journal and get off my chest.  Next up are some pictures from Memorial Day weekend at the lake.

Gus is so good with Burke.  He lets him crawl all over him.  We have been working on being very very gentle with Gus and Burke is doing pretty good at it.  And I know y'all all probably think this child never smiles.  He does I promise!!!!  You would think since I am a photographer I could catch that but geez I can't ever get it:)

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
