Parenting after a Loss

Re-intro - Long time no bump!

Hi ladies,

It's been a while.  I've commented from time to time, but it's been so hard to keep up with my work, motherhood, being a wife, and everything else in between, let alone come on here.  I'm not sure things are settled, especially with the holidays around the corner, but there are quite a few of you that I miss seeing and hearing updates from.  Time has just slipped through my fingers.  I'm going to try to check in atleast once a day or every other day.  I can't promise to be a PW :)  But I do promise to stop in.

For those of you I don't know - I've been part of the bump since June 2010.  I experienced a late loss at 25 weeks.  My baby boy, Logan, fought hard in the NICU for 11 days.  I moved to TTCAL shortly after visiting the MC/Loss board.  DH wanted to start trying right away.  It took us exactly a year of charting, fertility meds for ovulation issues, and finally a break from it all before getting pregnant with our rainbow around Logan's 1st birthday, October 2011.  After a high risk pregnancy, a cerclage, weekly p17 shots, preterm labor for 6+ weeks, we finally got to meet our healthy beautiful baby girl at 36 weeks on June 18 of this year...She was born on my birthday!  Emma is now 5 months old.  She was born tiny but has grown like a weed ever since. 

We are currently experiencing some heavy teething symptoms as well as what I believe to be the 4 month wakeful.  I miss my happy baby...but I know this doesn't last forever.

As for me - I'm a working mother who pumps and breastfeeds.  DH works part time and is a SAHD.  I wish I could stay home but it just doesn't make sense for us.  I'm a little bit crunchy, a little bit AP, and totally figuring this parenting thing out and what works best for our family day by day.

 I look forward to catching up with old friends and getting to know the ones I don't know.
