Parenting after a Loss

Intro

Hello!  I am joining the board.  I used to post on TTCAL, but it's been years.

I have a 4-week-old son (tomorrow).  He is awesome!  

I had three miscarriages and then unexplained infertility with my ex-husband.  Our marriage could not withstand the pressure and heartbreak.  Fortunately, this led me to meet my current partner.  We had an unexpected pregnancy.  We had about a week where we weren't on the same page, where we did not speak while he took time to think.  He decided he wanted to be a part of both of our lives and moved in with me.  We've been very happy.  He has a two-year-old son who is a pure joy.

Gage, my son, makes all the heartache I've been through worth it.  I just love to watch him, whether he is sleeping, eating, pooping, or alert. I'm just so smitten!
