This week is not good...
Well, the lady at work that I mentioned yesterday? Her baby died this morning. They had to induce labor because of an infection that was going to cause serious problems for my co-worker, and so she had to deliver the baby. She was only 1 lb, and she died 20 minutes or so after being born.
And that's depressing. Really fucking depressing.
On another note, a more positive, uplifting and yet cruelly ironic note, a different co-worker (one that I hang with a lot) gave birth to a healthy 8 1/2 pound baby girl in the same hospital, just three doors down. And I want to be so, so happy for Tiffany because we've sat next to each other since she started working with me and I like her a lot, but it's hard to be happy right now. That's so unfair, but you know how it is. I'm just glad in a way that she'll be on leave for a couple of months. It'll be bad enough for the other woman to come back to two other pregnant women, but to come back and have to deal with a mother of a newborn getting all the questions and stuff, that would be too rough.
Okay, so that didn't end up being quite the positive note I thought it would be. :) Go figure, right? Yeah, I don't really have anything positive right now, but I just needed to talk about that a little. I don't know why, but I needed to get it off my chest a bit. So...thanks for reading, if you've read it.
