Carberry Baby No. 3 On the Way!

The term Rainbow baby always seemed a little mushy to me, and truthfully, while the concept is so simple, it didn't seem to make much sense to me. But now that I am through the first trimester and heading safely into the second trimester and feeling amazing, I get it.

Baby BOY will be here in early October and we could not be more excited! Cannon has been calling him Baby Orange since day one, not sure we are ever really going to be able to change that - good luck Orange! So for blog purposes, we will call him Orange until we are ready to share him and his name with the world. Orange, truly is the rainbow after a storm. Not just the storm of our miscarriage but the last year. It's been hard for so many of us, but to have something like him to look forward to and starting to feel him, and picture him fitting into our family, truly does feel like seeing that rainbow after the storm.

We found out we were having a boy just over a week ago and honestly I knew it from day one! But since he is my rainbow baby, I can't help but wonder most days, what would have the last one been? Would it have been a boy or a girl? I think about them often and think about what it would be like now to be just 4 months farther along and heading into a very pregnant summer. I often think about the physical and emotional feelings that I felt losing them, and then I take a deep breath and try to picture the baby boy and I know how lucky I am, and how many women are not as lucky. It nearly breaks my heart to think about every time.

So, rainbow baby Orange, we are so excited to meet you and complete our family with you! So excited to share more on this third and hopefully final pregnancy journey!
