I have been thinking about Cheyenne a lot in the past couple of weeks. Not that I don't usually think about her. Trust me; I think about her everyday. It may be the fact that I am an avid watcher of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and if you watch the show you would know that Ben and Adrian's baby was stillborn, or the fact that I did my research paper on Down Syndrome. Who knows?!
Most of the time when I get like this I go online and read things that I know I shouldn't... and end up bawling my eyes out! Literally! This is exactly what I did today minus the bawling my eyes out part:) In the process of reading the new blog that the Atlanta Perinatal Loss website has and other things I was holding both of the babies while they were napping. I came across a phrase that rang a bell "Rainbow Babies". Where have I heard that? Then it came to me... When the girls were in the NICU one of the nurses said they were "Rainbow Babies". When she said it I thought ok that's cute and sweet, but never thought anything else about it.
Some of you may know what a Rainbow Baby is. I didn't until I read this and I wish like crazy I wouldn't have forgotten what that sweet nurse called my sweet baby girls:
"Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.
This is so true. I am so happy that GOD BLESSED us with these two baby girls.They are definitely my rainbows after the storm.They brighten my day everyday! They are my life! I love them so much!
GOD is so GOOD!!!
