Pregnant after a Loss

So...I'm here now! Hello!

Hi everyone! I half-introed a couple of months ago when I was trying to figure out where I should be (different screen name, it was mumel16), but now am introing for "real". It's nice to meet you all and am glad you're all here as well :)

I am working on getting TB to fix my signature, but in the meantime, my history is one previous normal, full term pregnancy. Then DH and I lost our son when he was almost 8 months old due to liver failure, with heart and kidney complications. His story is here for anyone interested: www.lincolnsliver.blogspot.com Our son was pretty much the best thing to ever happen to us, and I miss him so much it takes my breath away.

Lincoln passed away on May 14, 2014. Husband and I had previously planned to start trying again in May but put that on hold for a month after DS passed away. Then, after being given a lot of quiet and free time we didn't want, we started trying again. And now I'm here! So thrilled, so nervous. Thrilled to be expanding our family. Nervous that DS's health problems will repeat themselves. Nervous that I won't love this new baby as much as I love DS. Actually, that last fear is lessening, because I already love this baby a lot, but I'm still nervous. But happy nervous :)
