Update on stuff
holyfuck were these holidays a roller coaster of crazyness.
The baby that i told you guys about passed away. He was born at 8 lbs 10 oz on December 21st. He was deprived oxygen during the birth and was on life support until the 24th when all test results came back with very bad news. At that point the doctor had to tell the mom and dad that he should be taken off of life support. He died Christmas morning. There's been an autopsy and the coroner will be making a full report. Right now, it sounds like the delivering doctor made a really shitty decision to continue with labour when a C-section should have been done. The funeral was yesterday. I just want to tuck the mom into a big fluffy bed and make her sleep for a week. Looking into her eyes is heartbreaking.
On a completely unrelated note, the above situation and Christmas was the perfect excuse for me to put off telling my husband about the counsellor. When I finally did he was surprisingly positive about it and welcomes the opportunity to clear up some of our resentments and learn to communicate better. I was stunned. The origional counselling session would have been last night but we agreed that yesterday's funeral would be enough for one day. Also, the location and time was really bad for us on weekenights taking his commute into consideration. That counsellor has recommended someone closer and I'm putting a call into her today to set something up. In the meantime, Andy seems to have a bunch of lightbulbs going off in his head. One of our recent conversations started with "I really haven't made things easy for you, have I?"
Above and beyond all this stuff, it was an awesome Christmas. 3 year olds rock.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's baby. I can't even imagine what she's going trough, but I don't envy your position either.
I'm glad to hear things sound promising for you guys though.

I am so sorry for your friend, how heartbreaking. Stupid doctors.
I am glad to see Christmas and your discussions with Andy went well. It sounds like 2012 may be a good year for the 2 of you!
What an awful story. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine and it was awful.
Glad there's positive news on the home front, though.
That story brings tears to my eyes. How very sad.
Glad that things seem better with Andy, though. Hopefully the counseling will be a positive experience for both of you.
I'm glad your Christimas was awesome and that Andy responded positively to counseling. I hope it will really benefit you guys!
