Taking a pregnancy test tomorrow- only 2 months s

I'm not gonna panic right now because I am pretty sure periods are pretty screwy after delivering. But I should have started my 2nd period by now. I will take a test tomorrow after group therapy (i tried to kill myself) and see what the stick says. I am anxious and excited at the same time. I'm still in mommy mode and want my baby but since I don'h have him I want another. Definitely will not replace my lil angel because there is only one Elijah James Barker. He was so precious and I miss him so much. He was my lil Christmas baby. I feel empty, there is a big hole in my heart right now. And it will always be there. And I dont know if I should be even trying to fill another part of my heart with another baby. But it feels right. I'm supposed to be a mommy. Quentin (from another marriage) is supposed to have a lil brother and Josh is supposed to be bouncing Elijah, his first child, on his knees and blowing raspberries on his tummy. I'm supposed to be breastfeeding him and telling him about how he has his daddy's eyes, nose, and big head. But instead I am sitting here with achy arms, looking at his pics, missing him. A total mess now that he is gone. And should I be even trying since i am not emotionally stable. Sorry this is all over the place but I'm sure you guys understand being all over the place two months after having your heart ripped out. Just here letting this out. It makes me feel a little better.

i'm glad you feel better saying so...periods can be so screwy its true, good luck and whatever the result is it will be good to stay with group and/or counselor... I read everyone saying the pregnancy after a loss can be so stressful, especially if you are still working through your grief over your first baby. Take care

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
