Before and After


The other day I decided to get started on my new valances for the kitchen and dining room. Luckily I bought the material wile we were still pregnant with Colette. So now have a project to do that is free! :) I like free. Anyway this is the first time I have actually made a Valance, It took me a few hours just because I had to walk myself through each step several times to make sure I was doing it right and figure out the math right but one is done! And here we have the before and after picture. The old balances came with the house and once I took down the wall paper in the kitchen and repainted it the way I wanted it, they actually matched. But I didn't realize how much I didn't really like them until I put up the new one. I love that it add some darkness and green to my mostly yellow and white kitchen. I can't wait until they are all done.

    Ooh, I love that green stripe look for valances in your kitchen! Looks like it'll add a really nice punch of color to the room. :) Nice job! I've got to get going on curtains in our house too.

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.
