Rainbow













I've been meaning to share a very special concept.

If you've been through a miscarriage (mc), you probably  know about rainbow babies.

Simply put:  it is the conception of a baby after baby loss (miscarriage)

Extended version:

"Rainbow Baby" 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 have loved this idea of a "rainbow baby" since I miscarried. 

It's a special little twist in regards to a difficult time.
