A New Tradition.

We have a new tradition.  I thought long and hard of a Christmas tradition that involved Colette.  I wanted something simple and easy yet, fun for the kids and even practical.   I had lots of friends who have lost loved ones share their new traditions at Christmas and I thought and thought and thought...  Some of them felt ok,  some of them didn't feel right for us and some felt half right... So this is what I finally came up with.   Our new tradition is that when Santa come on and fills the stocking he leaves a little ornament in Colette stocking for us to hang on our tree to remind us of her.  Aaron loved knowing that Santa left something for him in Colette's stocking.  I loved having another ornament for our tree and we all loving having one more thing to remind us of Colette.  This is a tradition I don't mind carrying on long after Santa stops stuffing our stockings.

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.
