A rainbow baby is described as a baby that comes after a storm, a storm caused by miscarriage or stillbirth. Since 2009, we have been living a storm that took forever to clear. Our "storm" includes the death of our first son, 2 miscarriages and 1 ectopic pregnancy. In January we found out I was pregnant. We were very nervous and cautiously optimistic. After weekly doctor visits and many ultrasounds, we have been able to relax (a little) and enjoy this pregnancy. I am currently 15 weeks along.
Although NOTHING will ever replace our first son Trevor, it is nice to have happiness and hope in our lives again. Dominic and I were good parents and we can't wait to "be" parents again. This baby will be loved beyond words and very protected (maybe a bit obsessively)!
Below is a picture I created last week. I plan on doing this every week. It is something I didn't do with my son and I wish I had. So here is to letting go of feeling "fat" and allowing myself to be photographed.
