Getting Close

33 weeks today and feeling big and ready for our sweet little Winnie to get here.  Things have been going pretty good.  I am staying super busy with Burke, Mamie's Poppy Plates and my new business with Rodan+Fields that I started back in April.  I like staying busy.  It is really keeping my mind off of the worry that all you mom's that have lost a baby know so well.

The fact that this little one is a girl has brought on a little anxiety.  She loves my right side and seems to move just like Mamie did.  I don't know how many times I have been talking to her or other people and called her Mamie.  That has been hard but I am sure that happens even if you have a child that is living and get pregnant with the same sex.

I saw Dr. Sellers last week and first off I have to say the Cornerstone Clinic is looking SO good.  They have finally decided to move out of the 80's. :)  I always spend a little more time up there than I think I should.  Barbara (Sellers nurse) and I have really bonded over the past 4 years and I always love sitting and catching up with her.  She has such a kind heart.  Dr. Sellers is the same way.  Taylor and I love how soft spoken and calm he is.  He keeps us calm :)  We think of them as family to us.

Everything looked great with Winnie.  I go back next week were they will do another ultrasound to measure and make sure all is well before they let me hop on a plane for the R+F convention in Dallas.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get to go.  He said if I am contracting at all he will want me to stay home.  I totally understand and will do what he wants me to but I sure want to be at convention.  It is going to be awesome I know!

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...
