For those of you who haven't heard the definition of a rainbow baby, here it is according to some other babyloss mom's out there:
"Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.
I must say that I am so thankful this Thanksgiving morning to be enjoying this time with our rainbow baby growing and growing in my tummy, and also thankful for the sweet baby that came before. God has blessed Jacob and I more than we could ever imagine! We are thankful for the wonderful families that God has given us as well. They love and support us so much! They can't wait for this little one to arrive.
We went to the doctor yesterday for our 16 week check-up...we got to hear the baby's heartbeat again. That's an amazing sound. I will never get tired of hearing that lub-dub! We are anxiously waiting the next Dr. visit where we will get a good look at baby and hopefully find out if we will be having a boy or girl! Then the reality will sink in and we can start planning and nesting and preparing for BABY! Maybe later on today I will take a picture of my 16 week tummy...just now starting to show :)
