What's in a name.....

Well as you all know Taylor and I love different names but they all mean something very special to us.

Pregnancy 1-
Girl- Mamie Katherine Adams
Boy- Burke Kenneth Adams

Mamie Katherine as most of you know came from both sides of our family. Mamie was the name of my grandmothers sister. We never met Aunt Mamie but we feel we now her from all the stories my mother told us. I have her rocking chair in Burke's room right now and after we lost our Mamie my Aunt Sandy gave me Aunt Mamie's bible. What a special gift!   I found writings in her bible and also found out that she had miscarried once and never had any children after that.

Katherine is both Taylor and my grandmothers name. Catherine Bussey is my dads mother and Katherine Cowgill was Taylor's mothers mom who he never met. She passed away when his mom was very young from a brain tumor.

Pregnancy 2-
Boy- Burke Kenneth Adams
Girl- Winnie Hope Adams

Burke is my mothers maiden name and we just love it. There were all girls and one boy cousins and our one boy cousin didn't have children so we really wanted to keep that name going. We all loved Irvin and Enloe Burke so much and why not name our son after them.

Kenneth is also a very special name. First off it is Taylor's dads name who we love very very much and he was very proud when we told him.  He has recently passed away and so the name means the owrld to us.   Kenneth is also Taylor's first name so it worked out perfectly.


Pregnancy 3-
Girl- Winnie Hope Adams
Boy- Wesley Samuel Adams

We should find out the sex of baby bean this week but I will go ahead and explain

Winnie is my great grandmother on my moms side. I love the name it goes
great with Mamie and Burke but it also is very special. The meaning behind Winnie is pure, white, blessed and peaceful.  That pretty much sums up it up.  Hope came from our loss of Mamie and our hope in our future, happiness, more children, etc.

Wesley we have decided on if it is another boy :)  We love the name and this was Taylor's grandfathers name on his dad's side.  I know it would mean the world to Ken.  Such a cute name.  It means "Western Meadow"

Samuel is my great grandfathers name and we also love it very much.  We didn't think having a Samuel Adams would be very appropriate :)  I think that might be a beer or something :)  So we are using it for his middle name.

Anyway there you go.  What's in a name...... well a lot to us and I am so happy to share all the meanings behind our names with you all.

Stay tuned........I have added a poll to the blog.  Everyone vote on what you think we are having.  We shall see ;)

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...
