Rainbow babies are born after the loss of a previous child.

A โRainbowโ is a sign of hope after a storm. It means something beautiful came out after a rough and dark time. We lost our first baby when he was six months in the womb. During our routine ultrasound, the doctor saw that he has no life anymore. We knew that he had chromosomal issues during the first trimester. But even if we knew before hand, it is hard to prepare for the worse.
I had to be induced and the labor took 78 hours! I was in the labor room with other expecting moms. I hear them cry in pain and a sound of a crying baby followed afterwards which makes the labor pains all worth it. My labor would be different from them because there will be no crying baby for me.
Those were rough times. But God gave us peace beyond understanding amidst the storm and the pain.

When I gave birth, I held my lifeless baby in my palm. I knew God had better plans for my child and for us.
Storms only last for a while but the impact it brings may last for a lifetime. The good news is there is hope after the rain.

Life can be full of challenges but there is hope after the rain.
After the loss, we struggled with a another issue โ the journey towards wanting to have a child. This was not easy… We claimed the Lordโs promises:

My husband and I would often pray to be given a child. I find myself watching the 700 Club and whenever the hosts will say that they are praying for a woman who is asking for a child, I would touch my womb in tears and claim that the prayers are for me.

The Lord gave us our miracle โrainbow babyโ five years later after our loss. Our rainbow baby has turned four this month and we are thankful โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ.
If you are also praying for your little miracle today, I pray with you, right now, that the Lord will bless your heartโs desires.
