Parenting after a Loss
Options

Intro... Only a month late!

Hi ladies! I had my sweet boy, Ben on Feb 13th after a super long labor (50+ hours) but only 50 minutes of pushing! Once he was ready, he was ready, lol! I was pretty active on PGAL, and have already seen some familiar ladies that I am thrilled to see over here. 

This first month has been crazy, filled with breastfeeding issues, colic, and a renewed wave of grief over the loss of my mom and our angel, Grace. I am so incredibly in love with Ben, and DH is just fantastic with him. I swear I love DH more now than I did before our little B-boy was born, just seeing how he is with Ben fills my heart with love, joy and pride. Things have not all been what I expected, but we are figuring it out as we go... which I guess describes the rest of my parenting journey in a nutshell!

Anywho, I was missing all you fantastic ladies, so it feels good to be back! Looking forward to navigating PAL with you!!
