Welcome to Friday PAL Checkin! This CheckIn is for everyone who is parenting after a loss. If you have an older child or a rainbow baby or both you are welcome to share here.
I hope everyone is having a good week. If anyone has any suggestions for questions, please don't be shy!
Where are you in your PAL journey?
What are some PAL challenges you have faced recently?
QOTW: How have you been dealing with the anxiety that comes with being a loss mom? Have you found anything that helps to lessen the anxiety?
What are some PAL challenges you have faced recently?
Things have actually been pretty good lately. We have gotten into a crazy, busy routine but a routine none the less.
Work sucks. I hate being away from him but I have a wonderful babysitter with a little guy just younger than Z. It's great that they get to play together all the time.

Time has helped. I don't wake up every few hours to check on him anymore so I am getting more sleep. I am still scared for all the "accidents" out there that could happen but I know it is out of my control. DH accused me awhile ago of being too protective that I might as well wrap him in bubble wrap. Some things I will not budge on but other things I am learning to let go and relax. It is a work in progress.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Hoping to give Z a living sibling some day soon...
