Sad News

I could have put this in my earlier post, but I believe it deserves it's own.

I don't know if I told you about my co-worker/friend who was dealing with infertility issues. They had been trying unsuccessfully for several years. In 2004 she finally got pregnant, but miscarried, and hadn't had any luck since. Long story short, they did invitro in the Spring along with the PGD to test for certain genetic disorders. One took and she was well on her way. Well, when they went for their level two ultrasound they learned that their baby's heart had just one chamber and was on the wrong side. Long story short, she was born on November 27th with these plus several other issues and was immediately admitted to the Children's Hospital. Even with these issues, however, the doctors and family were all very optimistic. They knew it would be a rough first year, but believed the baby would be able to lead a fairly normal life.

On Monday, December 7th, we received acall at work to tell us that my friend"s baby died at 4:00 that morning.

It's almost too sad to even talk about. I don't believe they can afford another round of invitro. She's 38 and both she and her husband had issues so it's ulikely they'll get pg on their own. How do you go on after something like this? The funeral is Wednesday. Please send up some prayers for my friend and her baby.

The Kids Are One!!

Aren't they cute! This picture was actually taken on their birthday - December 17th. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post. As usual, I'm so tired by the end of the night that I barely have time to check my e-mails. I'm hoping to go part-time before Summer.

I hope everyone had a nice holiday and I'll try to be better about posting in 2008.
