Baby Blankets for enrichment activity

Tonight was the Enrichment activity with making baby blankets. And I could not be happier, I was surprised at how many people showed up! It helps me to know that even though it has been 4 months People still remember Colette and know that my life has not just gone back to normal. I'm so glad that I spent most of monday and tues cutting out fabric to get them all ready to go, Cutting takes the longest time and if I had waiting till the activity to start we would not have gotten nearly as much done. We had lots of people come, lots of people brought fabric, sewing machines, irons and lots of helping hands. One friend brought butterfly buttons and sewed one onto a corner of each of the bigger blankets. It was a darling touch. All in all it was a great night. We finished about 20 blankets and have about another 15-20 in several different stages, so I could not be happier! The rest I will finish in here and there like I do all my blankets, on the days when I'm feeling a little down and need something to raise my spirits.

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.
