Episode 28: Our Rainbow Baby Birth Story

In this episode my husband, Hunter, and I reflect on the birth of our rainbow baby, Jonas. Admittedly it’s been much more difficult for me to find time to record and edit this podcast while taking care of a newborn full time. We recorded this episode three months ago and I am just now getting it out after finding little pockets of time during naps to record and edit. Though I want to continue to share about my postpartum and parenting after loss experience, new episodes moving forward will be more intermittent—I hope you understand! 

Episode includes: 

• How I cultivated peace on Jonas’ birthday

• How I coped with fearful thoughts leading up to his birth

• How this birth experience compared to our first baby Ellis’

• The importance of finding a great team and hospital for your rainbow baby’s birth

• The things we did to make Jonas’ birthday extra special

• What we brought in our hospital bag

• The emotions we experienced at the birth of our rainbow baby
