Rainbow Babies

I saw an article on rainbow roses the other day. It was pretty neat. They somehow dyed all of the petals a different color. Seeing the roses made me think about a term I learned after my miscarriage. Rainbow Babies. A rainbow baby is a baby that is born after a loss. Rather it be a miscarriage, still born or infant/child loss. All of those cause a "storm" in the family's life. A baby born after the loss is the "rainbow" after the storm. In short after every storm there is a rainbow. I thought that was a great term to help those dealing with a loss. Every time I see a rainbow now it makes me smile. It reminds me that there is still hope and good things in this cruel and unfair world.

Update!

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I was on here. I must of been really busy or my life is soo boring I have had nothing to write about. Probably the latter haha. Anywho Matthew is now 7 months old! It seemed like it took FOREVER to get to 7 months pregnant but he turned 7 months old in the blink of an eye. I wonder if that's how it is for everyone? He has been crawling and sleeping 11-12 hours at night which I LOVE! We need to start child proofing the house like yesterday. He seems to know where all the no no things are. I hope this isn't a sign of whats to come. He's so funny now and it's amazing to see his little personality. I can say this is Matthew he likes bath time with daddy, his puppy Riley and food. He dislikes toys that are out of reach, naps and the car seat. I can't blame him though on 2 out of 3 of those things haha! I took his 7 month bear picture and I had to do it fast. He did not want to sit still! But I got it and he is growing fast! Still fits in the outfit though lol. It's 3 months! I need to find one that's bigger. Here is how it's looking.
