Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Support Group
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is any sudden and unexplained death of an apparently healthy infant aged one month to one year. SIDS is responsible for roughly 50 deaths per 100,000 births in the US.
After a long emotional pregnancy, my rainbow baby arrived Friday, 9/9/11 just 6 days after Elijah's first birthday. He came early at 30 weeks and weighs 3 lbs 12 oz and is 15 inches long. He is doing really well and is healthy. I wish my Elijah was here to meet him and celebrate with us. I know he is looking down and smiling though. I'm going to bring some balloons to the cemetery this weekend that say I'm a big brother.
Rainbow babies are truly a miracle. I never thought I would ever feel happy again since I lost Elijah. I guess he knew what Mommy needed and that in itself makes me smile. His brothers name is Zion Michael.

Congrats!! I love the name Zion Michael!!! A 30 weeker, how he was an early bird. I hope he is doing well. I love the idea of taking the balloons to the cemetary. Rainbow babies are such a joy, its the rainbow after a storm, it's not that the storm didn't happen, but it's the beauty and joy that can happen afterwards. I know my rainbow have brought so much love, joy and happiness back into our lives. CONGRATS AGAIN!!! ((hugs))

Congratulations! My wife and I lost our son Jacob on August 11, 2010 and our baby girl Emily was born August 13, 2011. The dates were so close and not planned at all. :) I'm very happy for you!

Sorry I hit add and wasn't finished. I feel the same way, my rainbow was born on 7/17/11 and he has brought so much happiness into our lives again. I explained it recently by saying that my heart is happy once again. Sean will always have a special place in my heart but I can honestly say I am happy these days. I wish you all the best with Zion! Hugs!
