Rainbow Baby

July 02, 2024•2 min read

🌿After every storm there is a rainbow of hope 🌈🌿 2 months of loving our precious rainbow baby Jeddy 🥰💙. What is a rainbow baby you ask? 🤔👉 It's a baby born subsequent to a pregnancy loss.

We love the Google/ Oxford Dictionary example of how to use the term 👉 "my rainbow baby gave me my hope back" 😇👶

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 “rainbow baby” 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). ⛈️ Many of our friends know we went through a pretty horrific miscarriage at the start of 2023 😢 (involving over 2 weeks of bleeding massive blood clots + several ED visits + hospitalisation + a D&C surgery 🩸)

Those who have heard my talks 🎤 know that I have overcame previous challenging times in my life 🚓🚑 clinging to [Jeremiah 29:11] 🌿"'For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 🌿

Baby Jeddy has been very blessed with our mountain of baby shower gifts 🎁 (many items we are just slowly figuring out how to use as we grow in parenting skills with our newborn 😅) & fancy hand-me- downs from our generous friends 😍🙏 (perks of being a geriatric mum 🤣👵💃).

These pictures from our pregnancy announcement 🤰 & Jeddy's 1st 2 months feature the only outfit mummy bought brand new for Jeddy 📸👕.

In our baby son's smiles 😁 We see God's promises fulfilled 🙌. We are grateful for the hope we have in Jesus & look forward towards our future together as a family.
