A Poem for all of you who are now waiting, have had, or praying for your rainbow
A different child,
People notice
There's a special glow around you.
You grow
Surrounded by love,
Never doubting your are wanted:
Only look at the pride and joy
In your Mother and Father's eyes.
And if sometimes
Between the smiles
There's a trace of tears,
One day
You'll understand.
You'll understand
There was once another child
A different child
Who was in their hopes and dreams.
That child will never outgrow baby clothes
That child will never keep them up at night
In fact that child will never be any trouble at all.
Except sometimes, in the silent moment,
When a Mother and Father misses so much
That different child.
May hope and love wrap you warmly
Any may you learn the lesson forever
How infinitely precious
How infinitely fragile
Is this life on earth
One day, as a young man or woman
You may see another mother's tears
Another father's silent grief
Then you, and you alone
Will understand
And offer the greatest comfort
When all hope seems lost,
You will tell them
With great compassion
"I know how you feel.
I'm only here
Because my mother and father tried again"
Poem out of the book "Trying again" by Ann Douglas and John R Sussman.
I just wanted to thank all of you absolutely incredible mother's and father's of angels..You give me hope everyday that I can get through this awful pain one day at a time with your support. I am so sorry we are all on this journey together, however wanted to acknowledge that your support and understanding mean alot to me. You give me the courage to get up in the morning knowing there is someone out there that understands exactly what I am going through!!! ((Hugs))

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
