Wed night visit

Tonight while Dusty has his meeting my good friend Melissa came over to visit me.  It's been a long time since I've had time to visit with friends,  I kind of put everything on hold while my family was here,  I thought I could still slip in a few play dates or visits here and there but now that my kids are older they just wanted to play play play with the cousins and we had so much fun!  But it was nice to see Melissa I've missed my friends while my family was here.  She is pregnant with their 5 child and she is so excited that this one is another boy!  She was pregnant with their 4th baby while I was pregnant with Colette,  we didn't overlap a whole lot in pregnancies but never the less we were pregnant at the same time and while I am very happy for her,  it is hard at times for me to think that this is one more person who will be bringing home baby number two while my arms are still empty.  I didn't realize how hard it would be when people who were also pregnant when I was started bringing home yet another baby... I'm starting to think that there is always something to grieve about.  But I guess that's ok,  just one thing at a time right?  And who knows maybe in the end I'll be stronger.

Anyway had a great visit with Melissa I miss our family lots but it has been good to get back to a usual schedule!  Thanks for coming to visit me Melissa!

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.
