7 months today

Today it has been 7 months since we lost our beautiful Colette, she is still in our hearts and on our minds constantly. But I don't think that will ever change. Every day I wait for the pain to grow easier to bear, but it doesn't. The hole in our family is ever present. And always will be until we are reunited again. Aaron speaks of her often, How he wishes she didn't have to die. And we all agree that we wish the same thing. Bridgett's learning how to say her name more clearly. We still walk often to visit her headstone. Sometimes on Sundays we have Family Home Evening gathered around her headstone. The spirit is strong there and perhaps sometimes she even joins us for a brief moment. Yes its' been 7 months and in some ways it still feels like we are in Feb and other ways it feels like the longest 7 months of our lives. We love you baby girl and miss you always!

    You are such a great Mommy, and Colette knows this. I am sure she is with you all often. I wish I could tell you it gets easier...Hang in there sweet girl. God love us, God listens, God answers prayers. Love you!

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.
