I have 5 living children, and 4 of them are Rainbow Babies. My first miscarriage was while we were trying to conceive our second child and had been trying for 9 months already. I was crushed of course to lose a baby, but even more so since we had been actively wanting a child for the previous 9 months only to never be able to say hello. We found ourselves expecting again 9 months later and we had our second living child. Only 3 months postpartum, we found out we were pregnant again! Very unexpected since it took a year and a half to conceive our take home baby. We lost that baby at 8.5 weeks. That very same cycle, however, we conceived again and had our third living child. Our 3rd child was just turning 1 yr old when we found out we were pregnant again! Our joy didn't last long, however, as we lost that baby at 5 weeks pregnant. It was a few more months before we got pregnant again and had our fourth living child. I was very scared when I got pregnant again in November 2011 as my history, as you've seen, seemed to be to have one living child, then one miscarriage, and back and forth. We were very blessed to get through that pregnancy full term and have our fifth living child.
Since our losses were early on in the pregnancy, our children do not really know about our angels. They know that there were babies in mommy's tummy that went straight to heaven, but don't know much more than that. Still, I know that each of my children are watched over by our angels everyday. :)
Blessings and peace to you,
Leslie
