Jump on it.


Today after a quick lunch we took the kids to Jump on it.  We had some 2 for the price of one tickets and thought it would be a great way to let the kids get out some extra energy on a hot day.  Aaron and Bridgett were so excited,  We have not been back since the last summer when Mom and I took them.  It's not the most cheap place but I try to get them there at least once a year.  Just something different to do.


 While we were there we saw some kids there that had some SERIOUS bounce!  It was pretty incredible!  I was talking with one lady who was there with her daughter and her grandson who were the same age.  She told me that she and her husband had 8 kids of their own and then went on later to adopt 6 of their foster kids.  It was a pretty amazing story,  She asked how many kids I had,  I told her 3,  she asked me to point them out.   ummmmmm   one,   two... and the third one passed away 18 months ago....   :(   She said that that was one test that she knew that Heavenly Father knew she was not strong enough to handle that was why she had 14 kids,  8 of them she gave birth to and all of them living and healthy.  We talked about how awful it was the people who didn't want kids seemed to be able to have as many as they ever wanted but a lot of people who would be wonderful parents could not have as many as they wanted if any at all.  She admitted even to this day that if someone gave her another baby she would gladly accept that child into their family.   It was really cool to talk to her and to meet her and hear her story.
 





We probably should have taken the group photo BEFORE they started jumping but as you can see they all had a great time and got all their extra wiggles out!

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.
