What is a Rainbow Baby?

In some circles, babies born to families after the loss of a child are referred to as "Rainbow Babies." The idea is that the baby is like a rainbow after a storm. "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.

8w6d Probably headed tot he DR/ER....

So I got curious and checked my cervix and it's High (good) Soft (can be good) and Open (BAD!!!) I called the dr and I'm waiting to hear back from them. I'm starting to wonder if I lost my last baby due to incompetent cervix. i was 11w2d which is close enough to the 2nd trimester. Also I lost the use of the lower half of my body last year. This oculd have made my uterus/cervix weak. I'm so nervous. I'm hopeful that if there IS a problem that I caught it early and maybe it can be fixed and the baby will be saved. I'll update when the dr calls back or after I get back from the DR's office/ER. It's the day before Thanksgiving... PLEASE GOD, let me keep this one!!!!
