Evening Ritual

He have had Burke on a great routine before bed for a long time now and I decide why not start trying to start that with Winnie now.  We are going on night 3 of them both going to bed at 7pm.  Burke loves to snuggle and read books before bed with one of us.  Boo usually gets a bath before dinner and I am now trying to bathe Winnie right around 7 while Taylor reads books and gets Burke down.  Then I spend a little time with Winnie while she kicks and coos on the bed while I get her lotioned up and in her jamies.  In just 3 nights I feel like it is really working.  We get her all snuggled up in her sleep sac and she is ready for her passy and her swing.  This has been really nice because it is giving Taylor and I some time to visit and get anything done around the house we need to do.  The other night I was super pumped because Winnie didn't wake up to eat till 2am.  That was a long stretch for her little 9lb self.  :)  The second night she woke up at midnight wanting to eat and again at 2.  Wasn't the best night for rest for me but that was okay.  Last night we woke her up at 10 and fed her right before we went to bed and she then let me sleep from 10:30-2:30.  Anyway, I wish I had of journaled more about Burkes sleeping and eating patterns so I could look back and remember.  Its amazing how quickly you forget about all the sleep you miss out on :)


Anyway we shall see how tonight goes.

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

Burke is 3!!!!!

Okay I have decided that time is going by way too fast.  Burke just turned 3 the beginning of June!  I can not believe it.  I feel like just yesterday I was in the hospital having the little guy!  We had a fun small family party and he is loving some super hero's right now so that was the theme :)  Silas really wanted to jump out when he walked in and yell surprise so that is what we did :)  Burke is super shy and he really wasn't a fan of it all.  Pibby and Pops got him his first bike and it is SO cute.   I picked up a balloon for all the kids and one special spider man one for Boo.  He has always loved balloons.  He said the sweetest thing....... he wanted to let his balloons go up to Mamie so she would know that it was his birthday.  I couldn't believe he let his special Spider Man one go.  It made me want to cry.  She should be here with us.  ANYWAYS, it was a fun day and I got some pictures of course and a few videos.  Happy 3rd Birthday Burkie BOO!  We love you so so

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
