3 Months

Today Colette would have been 3 months old. Mom always says that its' just another day, that she is not anymore missed on this day than another other day, and while that is true, it's very hard to not think of the things Aaron and Bridgett were doing at three months and wonder if Colette would be doing those same things. I miss Colette so much but if someone were to ask me if I would rather it not have happened at all, I would have to say no!. Because then she would not be a part of our family. And I can't imagine our family without our Aaron and our Bridgett and our Colette. Though she was only with us for a short time she has taught us so much and blessed our lives in so many ways. We talk about her constantly. We love her and we are so proud of her. If only we can be as valiant in this life as she was in the pre-existence.

The whole time I was pregnant with Colette I really felt that Colette should be her name. Before I got pregnant I thought for sure if it was a girl we would call her Elle, but the whole pregnancy even before I knew for sure it was a girl, I just felt like she should be named Colette. About a month after she was born and returned home to Heavenly Father I happened to come across what Colette means. What does it mean you ask? Simply this.

Colette -- Victorious in Battle.

And oh how true that is. So Victorious in battle was she that she was in need only of a body to gain her place in Heaven.

We love you Colette, and we miss you so much!

A not so fun support group meeting

Tonight was our monthly support group meeting.   I was actually looking forward to it, and hoping that it would be a good meeting.  I have found some really wonderful friends there.  There were a lot of new people there tonight and I've never seen it so full.   Which of course is not a good thing.  It always makes me sad to think that someone else has to loose a baby too. However it was NOT a good meeting tonight.  I'm totally baffled how someone can sit in a room full of people who have ALL lost a child in one way or another and say that no one knows what they are going through and that what they went through is far worse than what everyone else has gone through... Yea for me personally a miscarriage would be far easier than what we did go through for Colette, but I would never say to anyone that had a miscarriage that what I went through was far worse than what they went through.  I would never dream of it!  Yet I had to sit through ...

Another Ultrasound update

Today I went to the Hospital and had another Ultra sound with Maternal Fetal Medicine.  Other than both of the babies being in kind of a funky position  everything looks great.  And the babies are not measuring small by any means!  Baby A is about 2lbs 8 oz and Baby B is about 2lbs 11oz.  But it was good to see their little hearts beating away and watch them snuggle together.  I have a little break from dr's appointments for a couple of weeks but it will be fun to see how much they have grown the next time we get to have a peek at them.
