#BuyAllTheDiapers…My Rainbow Baby is Here!

Last May I shared how I had struggled with infertility and a pregnancy loss. And then I shared with (guarded) joy, that I was finally pregnant again. My rainbow baby. For those of you who may not know, a rainbow baby is a child who is born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant/child loss. They are the joy and the miracle that comes after the storm.

I’ve spent the last two weeks in newborn survival mode bliss.  Enjoying every single baby snuggle. Every adorable noise and face. All the miracles that a newborn baby brings.

Allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Norah Grace.

Norah was born on September 23rd at 5:40 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 4.8 oz and was 20 1/4″ long. <3

She came into the world fast and furious after a looooong (non-progressing) early labor. I want to share my birth story when I have time. But you know how that goes with a newborn ;) I thought I’d better at least check in with the world so ya’ll knew we are still alive over here.

I’d heard it’s easier the second time. Birth and recovery that is. But I can tell you that was not the case for me. Even a few years (older) seems to make a difference in how you recover and I’m feeling like a total old fart right now.

Hopefully, you stick around. I have a few birth myths I want to talk about when I get to my birth story. Plus, all the newborn cloth diapers I’ve gotten to try…I can’t wait to share the ones I love, and the ones I didn’t.

Finally, I want to say thank you and send so much love to all of you who have offered me prayers and words of support throughout my pregnancy. You touched my heart in a special way and I won’t ever forget it.

Jenn and Norah

I used All About Cloth Diapers when my oldest (now 5) developed an allergy around 6mo to disposable diapers. If it weren’t for this site, I would have switched back to disposables because I was having so many issues with fit and cleaning. This site really helped me to understand how to cloth diaper. I have used the big book every year even after my kids potty trained because there are so many amazing deals for everyday household and personal needs! So glad I found this site and the big book!

This is a great place to learn all there is to know about cloth diapers and the care of them. There is no right or wrong way to cloth diaper. All in one's may work best for one child but flats may work best for another child. You will understand how to care for your cloth diapers so they last you. There is a wealth of information on various brands and wool as well. Highly recommend!

My go-to resource for all things Cloth Diapers! Helpful info and easy to use resources. Well put together and friendly with high standards for what she recommends. My favorite diapers have ended up being found thanks to AACD! Thank you for all your help!

All About Cloth Diapers website has a ton of information on cloth diapering. Any issue you may run into they have a post about it on their site. The all about cloth diaper chat group is also full veteran and new to cloth moms. You cant get any better resources when it comes to starting your cloth diaper journey. The owner is Jennifer is so helpful and spent a lot time making sure new parents have the information they need about starting cloth diapering their little one. I absolutely love this site and I'm a member of the group on facebook. You should definitely check out the site!!!
