Wonderful gifts from wonderful friends

About a week ago I opened our front door to find a package on our porch.  I checked the label knowing that Dusty had said he was expecting something to be coming for him and not to open it because it was my Christmas present.  This didn't come from where he said it would and it was addressed to me not him.  Confused I called him at work and he told me it was not what he had ordered so after I got off the phone with him I opened it.  To my surprise inside I found 5 bubble wrapped little boxes.  To my delight as I took off the bubble wrap I found 5 glass ball ornaments one for each member of our family.  Including Colette!  You can't even imagine how happy this made me!   They came from my wonderful friend Shay, whom I met because of our mutual loss of our daughters.  She lost her beautiful Isabella a few months before we lost Colette.  She has been such a blessing in my life and I am so grateful to Heavenly Father for allowing us to meet and to move through our trials together. 

Thank you so much Shay we have placed them HIGH on the tree to keep them safe and we love looking at them!   We put Colette's at the very top cuz  Aaron says she is our Angel :)   What a beautiful gift we love it and will use it for years and years to come!

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.
