Taking a bump break

in Parenting after a Loss

I've been feeling lately like I spend too much time on TB and I'll catch myself on here when I should be doing other things... I also feel like for some reason I'm turning into a bump cermudgeon (see my last post) and I'm not sure why or how that happened but that's not me and not who I want to be.  So I'm going to take a step back.  I don't want to be a drama queen but I couldn't leave without saying goodbye because many of you ladies seriously saved my sanity during my pregnancy and the NB days and when I lost my angel.  I'll check back a few more times after this so if anyone feels so inclined as to swap emails or anything I'd love that.  Just time to take a breather from the website.  You're still more than welcome to follow my blog or reach out.  

Also- you might still see me on the Loss board occasionally if you post there, I'm in the middle of making paintings to give to some of the ladies on there and need to stay in touch. 

Big hugs, love to you all, I'm sure I'll be back if/when I'm blessed to be going through this whole crazy pgal thing again.

    We will miss you! You need to do what is best for you and your family but you will be missed here and  welcomed  back at any time. I completely understand the need to step away, I did for a few months back in my TTCAL days. I hope that the time away helps you out and that you can come back at some point.

    Oh no!  I am so sorry to see you go D: 

    But luckily I follow your blog (I even pinned it to my "family blogs") ~ but I totally get where you are coming from.  I think a lot of us ladies are keeping busy with about to be/just became-mobile babies, and it's making (at least me) busy and happy to watch my son growing up so much (and I know how quick they grow, thanks to my brothers), so I happily let him soak up all my attention . . . and I kind of forget about TB :P

    But I also agree, that I'll probably be around plenty when ("if" I get blessed again), on PGAL, because only PGAL's, and PAL's really understand at the end of the day, right??

    I still check in here and there, but I'm definitely focused in on my son - and truly treasure the miracle he is, to be here in my arms, and that I get to be his Mama.  I think all of us PAL's can understand that feeling of treasuring those times while they last <3

    I appreciate you letting us know though!  Gives us a chance to properly say goodbye, share our feelings (sorry for the wall of text btw!), and hopefully encourage you to come back whenever you are ready and happy too ~
     
    Until then :)

    I follow your blog so will definitely keep up with your happenings. You will be missed on the board. I get over to the OC every now and then - most of my friends live there, so maybe we can do another AL get together if you are up for it since you are new to the area? If you want to PM me your email address, I may even have some mom friends in your city.... I know you were looking for moms groups. My friends live mostly in South OC - Ladera Ranch, Aliso Viejo, Irvine.

    Oh, and don't beat yourself up about that last post. I was angered by the link as well, before I remembered that PPD makes people think and say things they don't mean. It's totally normal for any ALer to have that response. Hugs

    Yes, definitely would love to see you again.  Do you have my email still?  I'll just send you a PM with mine in case.  I think I found a mom group I like actually, but I'd love to see you if you're up here!

    Totally going to miss you! Our community definitely will not be the same without you.... but I totally understand. I have had to take bump breaks before myself.

    You and your family will be in my T&P, and I hope you find yourself back here with us again sometime soon!
