Bridgett's Christmas List

Today Bridgett announced her "Christmas list".  I was a little surprised.  We don't really make a big deal about Christmas list at our house.  I may ask the children when they would want to get an idea, but we don't have a big sit down to write out their wish list, or to write a letter to Santa.  In fact we don't often talk about Santa much at all.  I try to keep the focus on Jesus Christ,  On getting rather than giving.  And when we do talk about Santa I tell the children that he bring them one gift a piece as symbolic of the gift Our Heavenly Father gave us of his Son.   I knew that Aaron wanted "lego's" for Christmas but come to think of it I don't think that I even asked Bridgett what she would want for Christmas.  I think I was afraid that she would ask for a puppy.  Something that she just can't have right now.  So it was to my surprise that she announce to me today that she had a Christmas list.  Cautiously I asked her what was on her list.  She announced that she wanted...

" 2 ponies,  panties and candy."

"2 ponies,  panties and candy?"  I asked her?

Yes!  She responded   TWO ponies!  Panties and candy!

Well that should be pretty easy to do... I still find it interesting that my 4 year old daughter who could have asked for anything she wanted to,  asks for new underwear.

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.
