Late Term and Child Loss

Checking in ***Warning: Rainbow baby mentioned and PIP***

Hello all!

Sorry I have been MIA. I continue to lurk on the boards but I don't post as much. I do check in and I am sorry to welcome all the new moms to this board. I do want to thank you ladies for being there for me in my darkest hours even when you didn't know how much you were there. You ladies have all been amazing.

Our rainbow baby Samantha Jacklyn was born on August 8th at 12:30 PM via C Section at 38 weeks. She is an amazing baby and is an even more amazing addition to our family. DH and I are both in absolute love with her. 

I think of Jack all the time (tomorrow is 11 months, I can NOT believe it) and cry a lot because he should be here with us and I hate that he won't take part in growing up with his little sister. However, through everything that I went through in the pregnancy (the stress, anxiety, etc) with Sam and the birth, I know her big brother is watching over her. I tell her everyday that her big brother is her guardian angel. 

Again, I lurk often and check in with you ladies. I am sorry I don't post as much. I guess it's sort of a break for me. Next month will be Jack's 1 year and I am dreading it so much. We are going to light floating lanterns in his memory. 

 Here is a picture of my baby girl Samantha:

Again, thank you ladies for everything and I am still here!!!! XOXO
