Justed wanted to update and let you ladies know that my angel Devin blessed us with a huge surprise......we are expecting!!!! At first I didn't know how to feel. I had a mix of emotions from sadness to guilty to excited. Right after Devin died a butterfly started coming to our house and would sit outside EVERY day and sometimes for hours at a time. It literally let me and both of my sons touch it. Well for some odd reason, to this day I still don't know why but I picked up a pregnancy test. I honestly don't know why because I had only had one period so far and hadn't missed one. Well I took it and to my shock a very dark line appeared immediately! After the day of my positive test myself or my husband haven't seen Devin's butterfly and it has been a little over a month. So long story short I am pregnant and due with my rainbow baby in April. I will be going to a high risk doctor and having lots of observation and testing done to try and prevent anything from happening this time around. Any thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Here is our announcement. (In case you didn't know a sunshine is your baby before a loss and a rainbow is what your baby after a loss is called so this is our rainbow baby)
Re: Update
I had already actually paid for these before Devin died and it was supposed to be his newborn shoot so it was very bittersweet.
WONDERFUL NEWS! ((hugs))
I just delivered our rainbow baby on July 3rd. She is healthy, well & such a joy to our family. I'm wishing & praying for all the best for you & yours. Rest as much as possible & enjoy every minute. The rainbow is so much sweeter after the storm. I'm very sorry for your loss. ((hugs)) I'm very VERY happy for your wonderful news! CONGRATS!
