A Rainbow

This week is the big fair in our area. You can pay $40 ahead of time and get a ticket that will get you into the fair and a concert every night. The concerts this year are really good - Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, etc. so we will probably be going almost every night. Last night was Joe Nichols. It was about 100 degrees and sunny all day, not a drop of rain. Right before we were going into the concert, there was a half rainbow in the sky that lasted about 5 minutes. I am convinced that it was a sign from Claire telling us it is ok to have another baby so soon, to start trying for our rainbow baby.

Here is the definition of a rainbow baby:
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.

That pretty much says it all. Although I know we will worry, we can't wait for our rainbow baby.
