ICLW - May 2012

Welcome, ICLWers, to my little nook of the internet. I look forward to reading about your journeys and ramblings over the next week.

This is my second time attempting ICLW. I say attempt because I'm really great at reading your blogs, okay at commenting, and terrible at commenting back. I was on the fence about participating this month because I'm finishing up my maternity leave (tomorrow is my last day -- BOO!) and Baby G keeps me super busy. Seriously, as soon as I turned on my laptop he started fussing. It's difficult to read and comment when you have a newborn. But I should have some time to sneak in some reading and commenting when I return to work.


A quick bio: I got pregnant in December 2010 and found out I'd had a missed miscarriage in February 2011. I had a D&C that same day. I got pregnant with my rainbow baby, Baby G, in July 2011 and he was born two months ago tomorrow. This blog has been my source of therapy over the last 15 months or so as I have sorted through my feelings regarding the loss of my baby girl, and I have been very grateful in finding the Stirrup Queen's list of blogs. Being able connect with others who are going/have gone through similar situations as me as made me feel less lonely and knowing that my story is out there for others to read, relate to, and help them feel less lonely as well has given me the warm fuzzies on a couple of occasions.

    Happy ICLW! I added your blog to my blogroll because I just love your posts! I am also living in NoVa and I could totally empathize with your post about wanting to stay at home but the cost of living is so crazy here! Anyway, looking forward to following your story! :-)

      Aw, thank you :) It really is rediculous how expensive it is here! I'm so thankful that my parents are willing to take care of Baby G for the time being!

    Baby G sounds like my cat ... he hates when I pay attention to the computer but not to him. And I love how you say you'll have time to comment once you go back to work - I asked my sister to help me with something the other day, and she said she had no time while she was at home with the baby but that she'd do it from the office! He he.

      lol! I can't tell you how much stuff I've put off just so I can do some of it at work where I can focus on it :) I knew a baby would keep me busy, but I didn't realize just how busy I'd be!

    ICLW greetings! You educated me on what a rainbow baby is :) I'm currently pregnant with mine and enjoying each and every day. I added you to my blog roll so I can learn from you.
