Colettes Ornament

I can't believe it's December.  I don't know weather to say already or finally!  This year has been a hard hard year.  Last Feb I felt like each day that passed took a month to come and go.  In some ways it feel like this year has taken FOREVER to pass and in other ways it feels like a life time since little Colette was in our arms last.

We got this letter in the mail from Anderson's Mortuary.  Telling us of an open house where we could come and put an ornament on their Christmas tree in memory of our loved one who has passed away this year.



I was so excited!  Any excuse to be able to buy something else in memory of our Colette!  And of course I already knew just which one I wanted to buy.  It's something I'd been looking at at  Walmart that last couple of weeks.  It said baby's first Christmas on it and I just could not bring myself to buy it without having a reason to.  And now I had a reason to!

Dusty and I went towards the end of the open house and we meet Shanna and her family there and together we put on our ornaments in memory of our baby girls.  Gone for now but for sure not forgotten!  


Merry Christmas our sweet Colette, we love you so much and miss you so much!  We hope you have a wonderful first Christmas in Heaven this year!

    That is so neat that the mortuary would do such a thoughtful thing for families that have lost loved ones.

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.
