Expecting and the unexpected!

Usually there are some thing we just don't announce until "later" but after Colette joined our family it kind of changed our perspective a little bit.  A few weeks ago we announced to our families that we were expecting.  Are we nervous?  Yes.  Are we scared?  Yes.  Are we doing the right thing?  Yes.  Knowing that this will be the last pregnancy we can have for health reasons we are praying that this time we can bring this baby home.

On the 22nd of Sept  Dusty and I went to my Dr.'s office for this baby's first apt.  It was good to see and hear the heartbeat in the ultra sound and see how our little jelly bean is progressing so far.  During the ultra sound we also got some very unexpected news.  We are not having one baby,  we are having TWO!   Yes two babies.  Bridgett says one for her and one for Aaron.  Hard to argue with that logic.


Both the babies.

 Baby A
Baby B

Or was that Baby B and then Baby A?  Oh dear!  Needless to say we are very grateful for this unexpected blessing.  And we are hoping and praying that we get to bring both our babies home this time.

    Are you going to have double letters in their names as you do with your first three? Just wondering.

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.
