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.

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...
