This is just one of those weeks.

Sunday was a good time. I finished all the Christmas presents and got them ready to ship off. That night I decided to make a bowl, just for fun. Almost all of my projects lately have been rushed to make some random deadline.

I get it about 1/2 done and my carbide cutter cracked and cut my arm. Oh well, it happens. It is frustrating, but not a big deal as far as things go; it is a $10 fix.

Then yesterday I get to work and find out that my project has been cancelled and I have two weeks to find a new one before I go on the unfunded list. Given that basically no one is working the next two weeks, I am basically SOL. It is unlikely that I will actually lose my job, but it does go against me in the record, so it is frustrating.

Finally, this morning my wife wakes me about 0600 telling me we need to go to the hospital. Long story short, we lost the new baby.

Oh yeah, and I am supposed to be teaching a class to 20 students for the rest of the week. Skipping that is going to be another black mark for the record.

Maybe we just need to stop trying to have kids around holidays. Our last miscarriage was on our anniversary. This one right before Christmas.

So sorry to hear that! My wife and I lost a baby about 2 years ago and it tore us up! We tried for a second child for close to 5 years with only the single loss. We came closer together as a family and took it one day at a time. Just when I had orders to leave Germany and come back to the states is when my wife said she was pregnant again! That was 9 months ago, bed rest, and a bunch of other great stuff, but in a week or two we'll have a new member of the family. Take it one day at a time partner, it does get better. Our thoughts are with you!
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Please give your wife my condolences. This is difficult no matter when it occurs. May you both find love and support in each others arms.
 
Prayers said for you and your wife. In addition, I second the many motions made that both of you may have a better 2012.
 
Jason,

Know that you are not alone with those kind of stresses. Hope that the new year finds you in a better place. Please pass onto your wife our thoughts are with here. My wife and I lost two around key dates as well... One on thanksgiving and one right near our anniversary. After trying for years and the 2 losses, we gave up - and so its just one kid for us. I know how hard it is, both mentally and physically. Our prayers are with you if/when you try again!
 
Jason,

I don't know you but it really saddens me when I hear someone has lost a child. A loss like this put's everything else about life into perspective. Broken bowls and blanks can't compare to broken hearts.

I wish you and your wife the best and will be praying for your recovery and a prosperous new year.

Sorry for the loss. We had a couple of losses like that, and it took a LOT of hassle to get a doctor that finally found our problem. Conflicting blood types needed Rogam(?) shots for each one. I know it felt like the world dropped out from under us when we lost ours. We now have 2 of our own and after that, it became medically necessary for a historectomy. Prayers are with you and I do hope you guys have some better fortune in the future with this.
