Getting drunk worked. I now feel pretty sick, actually. I may have to stop drinking if this continues to be the case… I never used to feel this backlash before I got pregnant. Now my body just does not respond well to alchohol. Ugh.<\/p>\n
In the course of the evening we were all sitting around with good friends. One of them isn’t a close friend of Den’s, but a longtime friend of his brother – so, not close enough to know about Devin. I was saying something about religion to the effect of, “I’ve had some people say, ‘God saved my baby!’ – what, does that mean he didn’t like anyone else’s?” This friend, obviously completely clueless, said, “But yours survived! So it’s all good.” Den responded in a very matter-of-fact tone with, “Actually, ours didn’t.” The friend looked MORTIFIED. I think he mumbled, “Oh shit. So sorry, man.” Then stared at the floor for the next five minutes. Den and I looked at each other and proceeded to try to let the guy know that it was okay, that he didn’t know. It took a while to get him to re-join the conversation. I think we totally ruined his night. I’m pretty sure he was willing the floor to open up and eat him.<\/p>\n
Yay us. Bringing death and depression everywhere we go since 2008. Sigh.<\/p>\n
I feel like I should come with a warning sign. “Hi, I’m Natalie. Just to let you know, we had a baby who died. … You may now resume normal conversation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
