another serious post?

by Kelley

in sadness

Yeah, am I losing my mojo?

My vibe. My snark.

Maybe.

Do I feel a sense of community here in the Blogosphere?

A family.

You bet.

Today is April Fools Day. Jokes and pranks abound.

You would think the Queen of tormenting her children, and fucking with her co-workers would be all over this. The best day of the year.

You would be wrong.

April Fools Day has a special significance for me. But one that you would not expect.

Good Friday was the day my baby’s heart stopped beating.

April Fools Day was the day they removed ‘the non-viable fetus’.

And then I was wheeled to the maternity ward to a room full of mums with their babies.

All baby boys. Like my ‘non-viable fetus’.

I bought him diamonds. I pierced my ears again for him. I wear his memory with me every day.

I don’t like April Fools Day.

But a bright light. Today two wonderful things happened.

1. A special friend got her results back. The tumour on her ovary is not cancerous.

and

2. We are doing a major reshuffle at work and I was part of the assignment of desks and offices. Bwaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaa! Oh yes I did. Assigned desks in relation to my entertainment factor.

But I still don’t like April Fools Day.

It sucks.

Hugs for you, dearest Kelley.

I don’t like April Fools Day either or any other day in April for that matter.

Also, I don’t think you’ve lost any of your mojo.

That’s really painful. I’m sorry.

20 magneto bold too! April 2, 2008 at 6:21 pm

Thanks everyone for the hugs etc. I am smothered in them!

And *snort* at Solomon for noticing the little snark at the end there. Oh, yes, I am a nasty piece of work. Gotta set up future blog posts in the misery of others.

I miscarried at 7 weeks on Mothers Day back in 1980.I went home the next day and got on with life as usual, thought I was “over it”. After all there were three kids who needed me to still be Mum. Then one day I watched a midday movie with a newborn baby………..Cried BUCKETS for the one that I’d lost. Not trying to steal your thunder or anything. Just saying the sorrow hits people differently.

22 Katie April 2, 2008 at 6:27 pm

They wheeled you into a maternity ward? Oh gosh, that’s awful, I’m sorry. :(

23 Anja April 2, 2008 at 7:13 pm

Kelley, three tears I shed.

One for you, one for your baby boy, and one for all those little angels who didn’t make it.

*hugs* just *hugs*

24 Babychaos April 2, 2008 at 11:39 pm

Shit. I’m sorry. I know it’s the loneliest thing in the world. I lost one at about 10 weeks and that was bad enough I felt desolate – like the last human left alive on earth.

Big hugs. I’m sorry.

Cheers

Take care,

Simone

What is with the maternity ward torture? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Commiserations. Big time.

27 Angel April 5, 2008 at 10:20 am

Oh sweetie.

Big hugs.

That is so heartless to put you in the Maternity Ward – surely they can do better but I know they probably can’t … sigh

28 Angel April 5, 2008 at 10:20 am

Oh, and ….

Love your input in the reshuffle – much amusement coming our way I am sure.
