Pregnancy loss in House and Vogue

Yesterday was the first time back to visit my class. I work at a big school with tons of staff. It was overwhelming to see staff, students and parents after everything I've been through in the past few months. It was emotional overload.

Today I read a great article in the new issue of Vogue. It was written by a man and he describes the (often lonely) journey that his wife and him took to have a baby. They had had several miscarriages before having their son. It was a beautiful article. You could feel the love he has for his wife and son. I definitely recommend that read.

Also, the episode of "House" last week showed Cuddy (not sure of spelling) crying in the lounge. House had told her that it was a good thing that she had not gotten pregnant because she'd make a terrible mother. Well, it turns out that she had had insemination 3 times. Two didn't take and one she lost. I was so glad that a popular show like House is giving voice to the issues of insemination and pregnancy loss. That show is breaking the silence about a number of things that people rarely talk about.
