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.

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...

Waiting

It is the end of April and I really can't believe how fast the months have passed us by. From what I told you in an earlier post Taylor and I have been given the okay to try for another baby. Month after month has been really hard when it just doesn't happen. I keep telling myself that God has a plan for us. I believe that he will bless us with another baby but I know it will be on his time not mine. I am still going to my weekly acupuncture which I absolutely love. She calms me. We have also started a new journey. Last month we were sent to the fertility doctor. They are hoping to get my body on a normal cycle which I have never had in my life. The beginning process was pretty emotional for me. I just didn't understand why I was having to go through more testing. We know we can get pregnant. My body just needed a little help. The whole experience is not what I expected. The clinic is pretty cold and sterile. I am not saying that they aren't nice it i...

Please Pray!

Today has been a very emotional day. I got a text around 10am from NILMDTS that a baby that was delivered at 38 weeks was about to pass. I froze when I saw the text. It made me so sick to think of what that family was going through. The whole day my head has been in the clouds thinking of this family. Why does this have to happen? Just a little while ago Taylor and I were snuggled up on the couch having a glass of wine and watching tv when I got a call from one of my favorite wedding clients from a few years back. She began crying as she told me her cousin went in for her 38 week check up today and they could not find the heartbeat...... I immediately began having flash backs of me sitting in the ultrasound room as they told me Mamie had died. What is going on??? I just want to scream right now! My client wanted to know if I would be willing to photograph their precious baby once he was delivered. That was a question I didn't have to think about. I told her...
