Is there a thread to talk about our living children and memories of our losses both in the same thread? I had 2 m/c around this time last year and just had my daughter. I have gotten through alot of grief, but feel like I still need to remember my angels. And yes the PP hormones have me running through the emotional rollercoaster now too lol.

There's no thread, but the way you did it (living child mentioned) is perfect. That way, those with fresh grief are warned away if they can't yet handle talk of living children.
PLEASE get help for PPD if it's showing up. It's more common after a loss, and I put off getting medication for a lot longer than I should have. I could have been enjoying more of those newborn moments with Dominici!
You do still need to remember your angels, but there are lots of ways you can do that. You can start some family traditions about them. For instance, we have a Christmas ornament with Rivi's name and birthday on it. It's the first ornament on the tree, and it's the last taken off. If you're not sure of a baby's sex, you could just engrave the nickname and date of loss (or due date, whichever you prefer). We also have a little birthday cake on Rivi's birthday and release a balloon for him. And we'll be sure to tell his little brother (and any future siblings) all about him.
You'll come up with your own traditions as time passes. I don't think any of them are silly - go with your heart.

I'm sorry about the anniversaries and the hormones colliding. I hope you can find some comfort and a way to remember your little babies on their special dates. Best wishes with your beautiful daughter!

Your new baby is so cute!! Congratulations!!
I want to remember my angel baby even though I'm pg now. People don't understand it, really.
I have done a few things so far to remember him. I planted a tree, and now I'm going to plant bulbs aronud it for spring. I also started writing in a journal to him. I plan on having a special tree every year at Christmas with stars, angels and snowflakes on them. He was born at Christmas, so I associate a lot of winter things with him. I know I want to do a few other things too, but I'll do them as I think of them!!
