Our Rainbow Baby

I have wondered that if by having Saylor, would other people think that I was trying to replace Tess. If I was being totally honest, I even wondered if I was in some way trying to replace her by having a baby so soon. The journey of burying my infant daughter and then getting pregnant just a few months later has been a roller coaster to say the least. I found this quote that sums up how I feel about this new baby in our home, just a short time after the loss of our baby girl.

"Rainbow

Babies" are the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm never happened or that the family is still not dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of life has appeared in the midst of the darkness and the clouds. Storm clouds may still loom over but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and much needed hope. -Author Unknown
