Baby Bean

So we are so excited to announce the great news.  We are expecting another baby :)  YEA!  It happened way quicker than we thought and we feel so very blessed.  Both times with Mamie and Burke it took us a while and with this little bean it happened just like that.   :)

I am 9 weeks this week making me due March 19th 2013.  We believe this little blessing was conceived right around Mamie's birthday.  How cool is that!

I haven't been feeling great I will admit.  I have been really tired, nauseated and super emotional.  I know my hormones are all jacked up right now but they have also taken me off of my lexapro which I started taking about 2 years ago.  I know I need to do what is best for baby bean but man is it hard.  I cry at everything and I am freaking out about this baby.  I have nightmares all the time that I am miscarrying.  I know it has to do with what I do on a daily basis with Mamie's Poppy Plates.   I just know too much.  I deal with mom's and dad's every day that lose their sweet baby and it just makes this process a little hard for me.  I have been doing LOTS of praying and I know God will calm my heart.  I just need to trust and believe.  I need to let go on the fact that Lexapro was in my life and lean on Him for He is way more powerful than anything I can take.

We went to the doctor this Tuesday.  They have a new ultrasound room that I can go to and they even took us in a different direction from the ultrasound room where we found out Mamie had died.  As we walked back I felt a huge knot in my stomach form and I couldn't hold back the tears.  I was so scared.  I am so thankful for Taylor.  What an amazing man he is.  He put his arm around me and I knew no matter what it was all going to be okay.  It felt like forever before she put the wand on my belly.  And then she said, "Look at that beautiful little heartbeat."  All my anxiousness disappeared. Taylor and I just sat there looking at our beautiful little bean wiggling around in my belly.  It kept kicking it's tiny legs and pulling its hands up by its face.  HOW AMAZING!  For people to say that isn't life!  WOW!

My check up went great and now we are on our way to baby number 3.  I can't believe this is my third pregnancy.  I feel it already.  Yes my belly is already poking out.  Britney said the other day, "Sarah you are going to have to start telling people you are pregnant because you are already showing."

God is so good and I know He will have His hand on this pregnancy just like He did with the other two.

    I know you because you've photographed some of my friends' weddings--please don't feel stalked. =) Congratulations! (And Hang in there!) I needed to hear "Hang in there" much more than "Congratulations" throughout both of my pregnancies. What a blessing.

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
