hi girls : Parenting after Child or Pregnancy Loss

Tue Oct 20, 2009 4:19 pm

i am sorry i have been so mia. things have been so busy.

evan is now 14 weeks. he's an angel. really, he couldn't be a better baby. i went back to work when he was 10 weeks and what started off great, has turned into a disasterous nightmare. i don't know if it's the fact that i dislike my job, or if it's the fact that i have to be away from the kids a few days a week. whatever it is, it has me really down.

anne turned 2 at the beginning of the month. she's such a sweet little girl. we are thinking about starting her in preschool one morning a week in january. she isn't talking very much so we thought being away from the siblings and around other kids her own age would help.

our family just finished fighting off the stomach flu/flu/h1n1. three of the kids had the stomach flu (including dan and myself), sam was tested for influenza/h1n1 and it came back positive. the pedi thinks it was probably h1n1, which was a little scary because he is one of our asthmatics. he did really well. as long as you pump them full of fluids, h1n1 isn't any different than fighting any other types of flu. ironically, anne was the only one in the house that didn't get sick (go figure).

i am going to attempt to post a few pics, though bz has changed so much, i don't know if i will be able to get it to work.

i will post as much as possible, but i kind of feel as if i'm at a crossroad and can't figure which end is up....

Hi stranger!!! We've missed you around here!
Sorry about all the kids and you being sick, that just sucks, but glad that you are all doing better. Hopefully you can stay healthy.
How's my little buddy Will doing? Is he gaining weight and getting taller? How's he doing in school?
What about Libby's arm?

Luke is doing great (minus the fact that toddlerhood is raging and he learned to climb out of his crib this weekend). I started my masters and between home, school and work I am struggling to stay afloat this year.

Hope you can come around some more!

Meg! Your children are beautiful, Anne sure has grown and I can't believe Evan is 14 weeks old already! It is hard to work and leave the kids during the day. For the 1st time ever, I had to get a retail job last year because dh lost his job, so I've kept it and for the 1st time ever, I had to put one of my kids in daycare and it doesn't get any easier. The only easy thing is to know that the money is helping my family and the job is temporary. I tried emailing you a while ago and it bounced back. I'm glad you posted, been thinking of you. big hugs ~Allison
