I never liked the term "Rainbow baby" until I read this quote...
"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 love this! It explains exactly how I feel.
Today James and I get to see gummy again and we are
so excited! I hope this time we get to see her move!!!
Ok Ok I confess. I call this baby a her. I don't know if its mothers instinct or just because I have never been pregnant with a boy...but MAYBE it's a sign! ;)

Thanks for explaining rainbow babys I was wondering what it meant..so excited for you and James you are such great parents....cant wait to see the new picture of gummy!!!!
So super excited for you! I love that def of a rainbow baby, having had 3 miscarriages I think that is a very true statement! Good luck
Such a beautiful quote! Have a great time today! Maybe bring a video camera to record "her" moving. We did that stuff with out little girl, I love going back and watching those videos.
A very beautiful quote! Yay for getting to see gummy again today!!
I can't wait until you are able to find out if you're having a boy or girl. Have fun seeing your gummy! :)
This is the first time I've ever heard the term rainbow baby, and your explanation is beautiful.
Best wishes for the family. :Dxp
Best wishes and congratulations to you and yours.
I usually don't comment. I am on of those silent readers/followers but I wanted to tell you congrats on your new little gummy bear. I truly believe Maddie and God both knew that you were ready for your new one! You are so amazing and so strong!
My mom just got transfered back to Houston and when I went to see her a couple of weeks ago driving through Houston made me think of you and your family. You are truly an inspiration. I look forward to reading about your new little one and your stories about Maddie! She will always be loved!
Congrats Again!
I'm glad you explained Rainbow Babies too... I'd heard the term, and heard a similar explanation... but being able to see that explanation in regards to your life - it truly does make sense!
I was always determined I was having a boy...and I had a girl :)
mothers instinct I say...I was sure my Tristen was a girl,she was getting the name Tristen regardless lol....and I was right,as I am sure you are:) but you never know sometimes life can throw a fast one at ya and surprise you! Either way he or she will be a lucky baby to have you and James and Maddie, and I also never heard the term "Rainbow Baby" but you made it sound beautiful,I had one miscarriage ,then 2 years later I got my babygirl and that quote is sooo true! Hope you get to see little miss/mr gummy move!!
I too have been a silent follower. Wishing you the very best and lifting you up in prayer all the way from Missouri. Praying that the peace that only comes from God surrounds you and that you are able to savor every second of your pregnancy! Thanks for being so honest about life. I am forever different.
When I was pregnant with my daughter I knew, just knew deep down she was a SHE. I had wanted a boy...I already had a boy and wanted a brother for him, so I had mixed feelings about it. BUT now that she's here, two years new, I can't imagine my life without her...my GIRL or my BOY for that matter! :o)
Can't wait till you get the news of pink or blue! Either way it's a true blessing! :o)
It's a sign!!!!
So happy for you Kellie! Are you going to find out the sex and if so are you going to tell? I'll pray for a healthy pregnancy.
I just caught up - I am SO excited for you!
I think the definition is absolutely beautiful. I've had two MC and this is a great way to explain it.
I'm so excited for you! I have my rainbow baby and she means the world to me and when I couldn't find the light and the end of the tunnel, she showed me the way. She has taught me so much and even tho she will never replace the lives lost, she was what I needed to help me thru the final steps of my grieving process. I'm always thinking of you and James :)
I'm so happy for you guys!! I've heard the term "rainbow baby", but I didn't know the true meaning. That is so sweet. God gave you a rainbow! I pray that you have a smooth sailing pregnancy. I'm sure Maddie is proud to be a big sister!
You mentioned that you have been having all day sickness. Have you tried sea bands? They're just bracelets with pressure points that help with nausea. I don't know if they actually work, or if it's just a placebo effect, but they seemed to help me.
This is really a great explanation - so true!
I'm all excited for you!
I love that you call your half pint "gummy" - so cute! Good luck for your sonogram!
I have been following you for awhile but not posting! Anyway, I just wanted to say congratulations to you and James!! This is such wonderful, happy news.
I hope all went well for you guys yesterday, and you got to see that beautiful baby squirming all around. What an exciting time for you both! We too have a "Rainbow Baby". :) Praying for you always!

This one is your rainbow after the storm of Maddie being taken. Maddie is the sun so far away, yet so perfect, with the hurt of her gone (storm) between you.
Love this explanation. It's perfect for what a "rainbow" baby is. So excited for your rainbow to come! "She'll" be here before you know it! :)
I'm so glad you liked that quote. I lost my little girl at 21 wks gestation and I am now 13 1/2 weeks pregnant with my Rainbow baby. Lots of luck to you!
Im so excited for you :) I am due June 10th, so a little behind you. I have been reading your blog since a friend of mine posted to pray for your family several months ago. I have been praying for you and keeping up with your posts since then. I'm so excited for you and James! Take care and lots of blessings on your family.
