What a day
I found out this morning that my coworker just lost her baby. She was 25 weeks pregnant. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around this. I mean, I know that a loss can technically occur any time, even at full term, but this just seems so cruel of the universe! It isn't supposed to happen to nice people who have been through everything because all they want is to have a baby! And I'm having a hard time reconciling that I was just starting to relax a bit, and now I feel like I have to keep my guard up again. Life is so unfair sometimes. I'm hoping the autopsy will reveal some reason -- she had all the tests in the world done (amnio, etc.) and everything looked great. It just boggles the mind to imagine how something like this can happen, and why the universe would make it happen. I'm also just trying to remind myself that just because I know about this terrible (and extremely rare!) event, that doesn't mean that anything terrible is likely to happen to me. If you have any to spare, I could certainly use some good vibes/prayers right now, and my coworker could use them even more.
Just getting caught up on your ramblings and am so sorry to hear about your co-worker. My prayers are with her, and as always, with you, Mike and your baby.
