Wow

I am sitting in the bath typing this post...it has been a long day but a really good day. WOW! The race has exploded! My heart is full of happiness! What a way to remember all of our precious babies that have gone to be with our Father before us. I know they are looking down on all of us tonight clapping. Tomorrow is going to be huge. We are giving everyone a special day to honor their little one but also to speak out. Why has a death of a baby or child been such a taboo subject? Why can't we speak out and talk about them?!? Tomorrow is that day. Man are we going to make a statement! The balloon release is going to be so special. Brit and I are going to get up and speak right before the release and I am so nervous. I pray that God will gives me the courage and the right words. I am not very good at speaking in public. To tell you the truth (sorry to all my teachers in the past) I was scares to death to speak. I would fake sick if I had to give a presentation to the class. Mamie has pushed her mamma in directions I never thought I would go. We are up to 1000 + for the race. WOW!!!! God is SO good and through His grace we have been able to accomplish what we have with Mamie's Poppy Plates.

I can't wait to see you all. Let's all come down and remember our precious babies. What a joyous day it will be!!!!! I know all our babies will be together in Heaven celebrating with us tomorrow. Love you all

    The Race was absolutely amazing, Sarah!! That was the most organized, fun and memorable 5k I've ever done. Thank you so much for your efforts. It was truly amazing. There are no other words. The way you carry on in Mamie's name is awe-inspiring. Congrats on all your success and thank you for all you do.

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
