18 Months for Colette

Today is Sunday,  and it's the 24th.  Today is exactly 18 months since Colette was born.  Today she should have been starting nursery.  A big step in all of our kids lives.  But instead of taking her to nursery my arms are missing her.  Thank goodness I have my other two children to keep me busy.  But they are getting older and bigger and needing Mommy less and less.  Which leaves mommy more and more time to do...  It helped to have family in town it was nice to be together... and in other ways it was hard too.  It's hard to look at my sister 6 beautiful children and know that that is one gift that I will never get to have in this life.   I guess I just didn't expect 18 months to hit so hard.

 We went to Mom and Dad's ward for sacrament meeting.  Aaron did so well sitting with his cousins,  and Bridgett was kept happy with a little "painting" on Daddy's iPad.  After sacrament meeting we all went back to Mom and Dad's house for Dad to teach us a "primary lesson"  (since dad's surgery he just can't sit through the whole 3 hours of church yet.  Hard to do when you can't bend your knee!)

And that was pretty much my Sunday.  A bitter sweet day for sure.  Sweet to be with so much family and bitter to be missing our sweet Colette on this special day.

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.
