Is my baby a rainbow baby?
After I had my daughter, I got pregnant and was due on Thanksgiving, but ended up miscarrying at around 14 weeks. We didn't really try for a while, and while I wasn't outwardly having a hard time, it was a surreal year, because I found out exactly one year later I was pregnant again, with the exact same due date. My son was born wonderfully healthy, and everything felt like it went back to normal. I've never considered my son to be a rainbow baby, not because he isn't, but it just didn't seem to fit him or the way I processed his arrival.
Well I became pregnant again, and for some reason, this baby feels like a blessing after a loss. I'm finally starting to accept and think about my second pregnancy, and I bought a little rainbow St. Patty's day onesie that was out of season and on sale, just because it made me happy. My husband has no issue with the onesie, but it brought up the topic, and he thinks I shouldn't consider this newest child a rainbow baby, and that it's misleading.
I'm not planning on doing a photoshoot or anything, this is really just for me, but what do you guys think?
