Finishing up a few things

Do you ever start a project only to have it sit there just waiting to be finished?  For some reason the last few steps of a project are usually my least favorite to do but it always feels so good to have it done and be able to cross it off the list!  So I took a day and decided to finish up a few sewing projects.  The first one was a decoration and I got to put it out as soon as it was done.  Here it is!
Isn't it cute?  I love pumpkins and happy scarecrows this time of year.   I don't know if you can see it or not but I quilted it on my sewing machine so it's all puffy and cute.  and now it sits in the couch were I can see it often.

  And this one has been all sewn up waiting to be machine quilted for a while now,  but I decided while I had my special foot on the machine with the first one to just get this one done too.  so it's quilted around the snowman to make him look puffy and 3dis.  It's darling I love it.  As much as I love snowmen and collect them for Christmas I think this blanket has a different purpose  I think this one will be donated to the Grief Counselors for a mother to snuggle her baby boy in one last time.  As much as I HATE to think of someone else loosing their baby I can't deny how much Colette's blankets mean to us.  And I hope that this beautiful blanket will bring peace and comfort to another mother who finds herself in the same situation that we found our self in with our beautiful Colette.

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.
