Rocks...

Now Rocks are funny things. Have you ever really sat down and thought about them? Sadly I have. And I have been thinking about them a lot lately. It seems that when you WANT rocks they are very expensive and hard to come by, but when you don't want rocks, they seem to pop out of the ground like you are growing them! Can you guess which one is our problem. Well Actually both! I would LOVE to have some beautiful rocks to lay in my flower beds, but the rocks that I seem to be growing in my flower beds are NOT the kind that I want. But oh well, so it has been a rock raiding week for me, I have spent many many hours out in the flowerbeds this past week digging up rocks, racking them out and smoothing the dirt back out. And here is the question of the day? Where do you then put said rocks???? Now THAT is the question of the day.

Colette's Corner as I have dubbed it, is looking very nice! It is now rock free with many new plants added and even a bench and 2 solar lights. I do need to find a few steeping stones so its' easier to get to the bench. Already Aaron and Bridgett love to sit on my bench and eat their snack. It would appear that I will have to share my beautiful corner :)

    That's great that Colette's Corner is looking nice! :) I will soon be home for a few weeks and I'd love to come see it and visit you guys, if that's ok.

    Of course Carrie, You are welcome here any time. If you would like we could walk to the cemetery and I could show you her headstone.

    I am glad Colette's corner is coming along...I think it will be a special place for the whole family to look out the windows think of her. I found this cute Idea in a magazine where you can paint rocks to look like catepillars, fish, and you could even paint daisies on them. I was thinking of doing the catepillar myself just because it adds such a childlike look and some bright colors!

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.
