A “rainbow baby” is a baby that is born following a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or infant loss.In the real world, a beautiful and bright rainbow follows a storm and gives hope of things getting better. ... A rainbow baby brings light but by no means replaces the angel baby.”

Little Theo is the second rainbow baby in his family. Both Theo and his big sister wore this precious rainbow hat. I am so happy for their family, that they get to hold two precious babies in their arms. 

I am so glad Lisa of Meraki Photography and I did this rainbow baby giveway session. It was an honor to read all of the stories from moms who entered our giveaway. I think it is important to acknowledge miscarriages and infant loss, because families go through this all the time, and it should be talked about. Let's help moms know they are not alone, and there should be so shame around any form of loss, infertility, and grief in general. 

I hope seeing this rainbow baby brightens your day.
