Colette's Corner

So I have a corner of our yard that has yet to be landscaped. This corner has now been named Colette's corner, and eventually will be a place that we can go to peacefully remind ourselves of our Beautiful Daughter and the day that we can all be together again. It does not look like much yet, I'm still working on it. I still need to get all the rocks out, the plants I have planted are mostly daisy's with some little pink flowers in between. Each year they should get a little bigger and bigger and fill out more and more. But for now this is a good start. I'm still looking for a ground cover that I like to go with it and more plants to fill in the area. But it's been fun to work on it little by little. This morning we drove up to Hobby Lobby to find a statue, A friend of mine placed one in with her beautiful flowers that she planted in memory of her daughter and I loved it so much I had to go and get one for myself. I'm not a big fan of the whole "baby angle" motif but for some reason to me this statue was different. So now it also sits in our Colette corner, It's only been there one day but I love looking at it


I will have to take photos again in a few months when more is done and things have grown bigger and filled out a bit more.
And this is our garden this year. Our relief society is doing the new Person Progress Program for young woman's and my faith project is to have a garden and actually get veggies from it. So today I dug motes all around the plants thinking that they might actually be happier is they had a mote to fill with water to give them a good drink when I watered. So far they are still little but they are growing! I have only lost 2 plants so far which is good since it has even snowed on them!

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.
