in Parenting after a Loss

Hi ladies,

I've been lurking a bit and decided it was time to introduce myself.  My name is Stefany, my husband is Chris, and we will have been married for 9 years in May.  We have a 3 1/2 year old little boy named Landon, and 6 months ago, in August, our second son Colton was born still at 32 weeks due to a complete placental abruption.  Our doctor has recommended we wait a full year before trying for another baby, so we are currently benched until August, at which point we hope to be TTCAL.  For more of our story, and Colton's full birth story, feel free to check out my blog - there's a link in my siggy. 

I usually hang out on the Loss board, and occasionally on TTCAL, but often feel like I can't talk about Landon there (understandably!) and am looking forward to getting to know you all better!

    Hi @stefuge! Sorry for your loss. You should join us on the TTCAL check in here on PAL starting this week. Talk with @rmpar29, she is the check in leader. We have been doing it via PM until now. I know you are from TTCAL, I know your s/n, but maybe you have already checked out the PM check-in (??) I'm not sure...

    @srcr2011 - I recognize you too!  I was a part of the PM group for a few weeks, and then sort of took a step back from the TTCAL board altogether.  We are currently benched until August, and it was hard to be around all the TTC and pregnancy talk all the time.  I'll keep an eye out for the check-in this week.  Thanks!

    I am so sorry. I read your blog and the loss of your precious baby boy. I just wanted to give you big ((HUGS)). I'm glad you took a little break from TTCAL. The support is great,but sometimes a break is just what we need. I"m sorry you are benched. Look forward to seeing you at the check-in
