Where are you in your PAL journey?  Gabriel is 8 months old.

 

What are some PAL challenges you have faced recently?  I am actually doing alright right now.  He is having major seperation anxiety and teething but we are handling it alright.

 

QOTW: Does having another child make it easier or harder to celebrate the  anniversaries/birthdays of your angel? Why?  I think it is harder because I feel guilty if I need to fall apart.  How can you fall apart when someone needs you together, and if I don't fall apart I feel like I am not missing her enough.

 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?  He is pulling up EVERYWHERE, and is trying to cruise, I keep telling him that he is far too young for this and to slow his boat but he isn't listening.

Where are you in your PAL journey? Zachary is 7 1/2 months old.  What are some PAL challenges you have faced recently? I have had a set back after reading that post about that little baby boy who just died from SIDS. He was only one day younger than Zachary. I have not been able to sleep. I just toss and turn and listen to him breath. I am so terrified that something will happen to him too. I know I could not survive the loss of another child. QOTW: Does having another child make it easier or harder to celebrate the  anniversaries/birthdays of your angel? Why? Zachary was not even 3wks old yet on Ian's first birthday. He was on me pretty much 24/7 at that point so I hardly even had time to pee let alone grieve for Ian. I do feel guilt for that but Zachary's needs were greater then my own need to properly grieve. I'm sure Ian would understand that. At least I hope he would. Next year will be different so I can do more. Ian deserves more. Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? We have had success!!! Zachary now sleeps only in the PNP and not his swing. We have even got some nights of 7+ hours! Tho most nights it is between 4-5 hours. I'll take it.  Also, Zachary is starting to eat more solids. It makes me sad to know that our nursing days are numbered since I plan to wean him by 12mo ish when I have to go back to work.

Hey ladies this is my first PAL checkin. I was around back when the board first started but was away for a while during my pregnancy. But I've been lurking. Now I'm finding my way back here. I hope you will all have me back.

 

Where are you in your PAL journey? I'm only 1 week and 1 day into this new path. Lilah was born 9/26 which was just days before my angels first birthday so its been a rough couple of weeks.

 

What are some PAL challenges you have faced recently? Sleep of course. On top of lack of sleep...I've been dreaming of both Logan and Lilah which has given my a lot more anxiety lately.

 

QOTW: Does having another child make it easier or harder to celebrate the  anniversaries/birthdays of your angel? Why? It hasn't yet. But we just pasted my angels first birthday. My DH likes to think that Lilah decided to come early so that we all could be together for Logan. And that Logan could watch over us when we need it the most.

 

Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? A lot. I just hope I'm doing everything right. I don't want to let Lilah down. And I want to make sure Logan is proud of his mom.
