Just wondering how the rainbow moms are adjusting now, that our little ones are here. Are you able to relax? Or are you finding yourself in the other end of the spectrum? How has the birth of your rainbow baby helped you with your previous loss?
Giving birth to a perfect healthy little boy was the biggest relief ever! I love every second with him. I tell myself everything happens for a reason. Both of my children are rainbow babies and I thank God every day for them!
I feel soooo blessed to have a healthy baby girl! I still get anxious about SIDS now that she is here but know there is nothing else I can do beyond the precautions I take now. I had no idea that this type of love existed. I feel so grateful to have my little rainbow. I am curious about how all of our ladies are doing.
Totally agree, it's such a huge relief to have him here and healthy, but anxiety definitely takes hold at times. I'm at 6 weeks today and have my first PP appointment tomorrow, so my newest anxiety is what to do about birth control (preventing another ectopic)- what's going to interfere with BF, could it cause issues with another IVF round when we decide it's time for #2? But on a positive, I'm trying to design a tattoo to honor my rainbow, which is keeping me focused and grateful.
I'm so grateful to having a healthy little girl. I'm nervous about SIDS and check her breathing frequently. I feel better actually getting to see her and feel her breathing and heartbeat. Every time I get frustrated or overwhelmed, I think about how grateful I am and how this was our last try. I'm happy we got our rainbow babies.

We have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl. She gave us a little scare and had a brief stay in the NICU for breathing issues. I find myself paranoid about her breathing, and being around sick people. But we are so happy to have our rainbow baby home and in our arms.
Our rainbow will be 7 weeks tomorrow (Tuesday). How is this possible? I am absolutely in love with him and I find myself staring at his face with tears in my eyes because I was beginning to believe he wasn't possible. I truly miss him being inside of me, though. I tried explaining it to my husband but words fail me every time. I am so happy our rainbows are here!
