Hello Ladies.
I hope everyone is having a good week. If anyone has any suggestions for questions, please don't be shy!
Did/will you incorporate your angel baby's name into your rainbow's? Why or why not?
Is there anything that you never had as a child that you hope to be able to give to your child(ren)?
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?

Re: *Parenting After Loss Check-In*
We're still debating whether to use Nathaniel as a middle name if we have a boy. I think we are leaning towards no right now, partially because this baby will be his/her own person and I'm not sure I want my child to have to go through life with his dead brother's name. Then again, it might be a nice way to honor Nathaniel's memory... As you can see we're still on the fence on this one. Honestly a lot of it depends on how things go. We would only give a baby born healthy Nathaniel's name.
I'd like my child(ren) to be able to talk openly to us about anything. No subject will be taboo in our house. I want them to feel like they can come to me with anything.
Did/will you incorporate your angel baby's name into your rainbow's? Why or why not? Yes, both my angel and rainbow have the same middle name. If I have another boy down the road I would like Gavin to be their middle name. I did it because my rainbow will never get to meet his older brother they at least share something that he will have for the rest of his life.
Is there anything that you never had as a child that you hope to be able to give to your child(ren)? I never had one of those little cars like the mini Barbie car or Jeeps. They were just getting popular when I was a little girl and I am sure very expensive. I can not wait to get my son one and watch him cruise around.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? My bff's father. He has brain cancer and is fighting a tough fight right now. His last surgery caused him to get an infection so they had to remove part of his scalp.They also found blood on his spine and brain. He was put in to a coma before this last surgery and is now slowly being taken out of it. He is already breathing without a ventilator, squeezing their hands for yes or no questions and holding up the right number of fingers when asked. He is so strong. If you are the praying type please send some his way he needs them!

If we have another boy, I think we both agree we would like to use Jack as a middle name (or Jackson..to me, Jack seems too short to use as a middle name)
Is there anything that you never had as a child that you hope to be able to give to your child(ren)? I want DD to be/stay close to DH. I was never real close with my Dad growing up-he worked a lot, so I felt like I didn't see him much, and weren't able to form a real close bond that other daughter/dad's have. I have gotten closer to my Dad since I've gotten married and had kids, but there is still a distance. He wonders why me and my brother and sister always talk more with my Mom and it's because we spent our entire childhood doing fun things with her, so we became close. I don't DD and DH to have those barriers.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Babies...always babies. I have BOTB and I am getting frustrated that I haven't gotten pg yet. DD will be a wonderful big sister, yet I worry that the next baby will be sick like Jack, and I know I can't go through that again.
1- Nope, they are different genders but even if they weren't the name would have been Gabriella Grace. I wanted a name that meant strength in God in every possible take. Thus we have Gabriel Michael David S.
2- I powerwheels jeep!! My mama was bedridden or wheelchair bound my whole life, she was afraid I would get hurt and she couldn't get to me but was an AAAHHHHMMMAAAZZZZIIIIINNNNNGGGGG mama and this is the only thing I can't remember ever getting. (I am aware I am spoiled
)
3- I am already dredding Kam's angelversary....I don't know why it is harder this year. I would have thought otherwise : /

No, they are different genders. We haven't decided if we will with another girl.

More stability. My family moved twice while I was in elementary school. I don't have many close friends from my hometown because of this. My parents also got into a lot of verbal arguments when my sister and I were young. It was pretty rough at some points.

Friday is my daughter's second angelversary. I find myself more lost and almost bitter than I was last year. I don't know why. Last year, we were ttc and found out we were pregnant again about two weeks after the anniversary. This year, we have a three month old.
DH has had yet another falling out with his mom. It's like no matter how many chances she's given she always finds a way to mess it up. It makes me sad to cut his side of the family out of DS's life but it's the best for all of us. It's really been bothering DH the last few days.
