Jeddy is 2 months old!

๐ŸŒฟAfter every storm there is a rainbow of hope ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒฟ 2 months of loving our precious rainbow baby Jeddy ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ’™. What is a rainbow baby you ask? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‘‰ It's a baby born subsequent to a pregnancy loss.

We love the Google/ Oxford Dictionary example of how to use the term ๐Ÿ‘‰ "my rainbow baby gave me my hope back" ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ‘ถ

A rainbow baby is a name coined for a healthy baby born after losing a baby due to miscarriage, infant loss, stillbirth, or neonatal death.

The name โ€œrainbow babyโ€ comes from the idea of a rainbow appearing in the sky after a storm, or after a dark and turbulent time. The term has gained popularity on blogs and social media in recent years, and has come to symbolise hope and healing.

We learnt this definition the hard way (trigger warning for this paragraph). โ›ˆ๏ธ Many of our friends know we went through a pretty horrific miscarriage at the start of 2023 ๐Ÿ˜ข (involving over 2 weeks of bleeding massive blood clots + several ED visits + hospitalisation + a D&C surgery ๐Ÿฉธ)

Those who have heard my talks ๐ŸŽค know that I have overcame previous challenging times in my life ๐Ÿš“๐Ÿš‘ clinging to [Jeremiah 29:11] ๐ŸŒฟ"'For I know the plans I have for you,โ€ declares the Lord, โ€œplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ๐ŸŒฟ

Baby Jeddy has been very blessed with our mountain of baby shower gifts ๐ŸŽ (many items we are just slowly figuring out how to use as we grow in parenting skills with our newborn ๐Ÿ˜…) & fancy hand-me- downs from our generous friends ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™ (perks of being a geriatric mum ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿ’ƒ).

These pictures from our pregnancy announcement ๐Ÿคฐ & Jeddy's 1st 2 months feature the only outfit mummy bought brand new for Jeddy ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘•.

In our baby son's smiles ๐Ÿ˜ We see God's promises fulfilled ๐Ÿ™Œ. We are grateful for the hope we have in Jesus & look forward towards our future together as a family.
