Pregnancy #3, Final Update: Rainbow Babies Have Arrived!
I’m way behind here – about 3 weeks to be exact- but our long-awaited, miracle rainbow babies are here. Sleeping in their swings, in fact, as I type.
On April 2nd, at 1:57pm, Michael Robert (6 lbs, 4 oz) and James Anthony (5 lbs, 12 oz) entered the world and our lives, and I feel quite certain our lives have changed forever for the better.
We are incredibly grateful to God. We know we owe these babies to His grace to us, grace we certainly don’t deserve. But still, we are so so, thankful. From the minute I heard them cry and laid eyes on them, I was smitten. I still hold them and look at them and rock them and can scarcely believe they are here. Three weeks later, I still cry when I look at them. These perfect little faces. The other side of infertility.
Thank you, Jesus.
Eventually, I will get back to blogging and I’ll tell the stories, but for now, here’s a glimpse of our miracles:
I was just thinking about you!!! I am so glad to see these beautiful babies!!!! Biggest congrats!!!!

Belated thanks, Cheryl! God has truly, abundantly answered our prayers!
Huge congratulations, Kate!! I’m so thrilled for you, that your prayers were answered and these beautiful little boys are now yours to treasure!
Thank you so much, belated! God truly has answered our prayers above and beyond!
I am so thankful your little ones are healthy and your are doing well! Congratulations – they sure are cute!
Thank you so much – very belated! HAven’t been on the blog much, but looking forward to catching up on your story. Last I read, you were looking into adoption???
Ohhhhhh, they are sooooooo cute Kate. Congratulations. God is good, isn’t He.
😀💗
Belated thanks, Staci! I’ve been away a while, but God has just been so good to us. My boys are wonderful. Looking forward to catching up!
Wonderful Kate. It’s more than expected that you would be away. Twins I’m sure can be a real handful.
Glad you’re doing well.
🙂
Oh, dear Kate! I am writing this in tears! I just HAD to cry, because for so long I have included you and your husband in my daily prayers that God would send you a baby of your own! And, just look….He has doubled your blessing!!!!!! Ever since I started following your blog, I pray for you, along with five other infertile couples, and to know that GOD, in His great mercy, has answered this prayer just moves me to tears! Praise His holy name forevermore!!!! Oh, they are SO beautiful! So perfect in every way. I know you must still be in shock to know that they are here, and they are yours! God is SO good!! I can’t wait to read of your birth stories, should you ever decide to share. This is just the best news, and it just warms my heart to hear. May God continually bless you, you husband, and your sweet boys, and may He ever keep you all safe and close to His heart. 🙂
Cheryl, a long overdue thanks to you. That you would be praying for us, strangers, in the way you have truly touches my heart. Words really can’t express, but thank you for your intercession for us. God truly has answered abundantly – and I am truly humbled by your prayers in standing beside us! Forever grateful!
Congratulations Kate! All glory, honor and praise to God Almighty for all He has done. Cute babies!
Belated thanks, Yvonne! Only God could do this! So, so blessed! 🙂
Oh so happy to hear from you Kate. I wondered about you so many times. Extremely happy for you and family. 🙂 God bless you all.

Hello and a huge congratulations! I just discovered your blog and journey today. What an incredible testimony of God’s grace. My husband and I are on a similar journey. I kept nodding my head as I read about our shared experiences. This journey is not for the faint of heart nor the faint of faith, but I will continue to trust His perfect plan for our lives and stand on His promised. Kiss those sweet angels faces every chance that you get! Again, congratulations!
Sorry for the late response to this! It can be a grueling journey, but God’s faithfulness still brings me to tears. I know the struggle through all this, and I am still praying for girls still in the battle, waiting and praying for God’s answers! Hang in there – God’s timing is really perfect. Hugs!
I love the pictures and I’m so happy for you all. Congratulations, mama! They’re so perfect and adorable. God is immensely faithful and so, so good.
Thanks, Adeline! Sorry for the late response. Been busy, lol. But yes, God is so faithful, I’m still stunned! Can’t wait to start catching up on your ministry!
Congrats! I just finished reading one of your older posts about your thoughts on your should-have-been due date (mine is quickly approaching) and I was happy to click over to your home page and discover these two little miracles. God is so good. 🙂
Thank you so much! It still is such a miracle to me! All the best for your pregnancy (or birth – I see this was a while ago! )
