‘This topic is very meaningful to me because while we talk a lot about rainbow babies, rarely do we see the actual reality of both sides of that rainbow.’
Behind every “rainbow baby” is a storm that came before it — and for Maria Henrie, sharing the birth of her son Peter meant honoring both sides of that journey.
“Hi guys! Maria here,” she wrote, announcing the arrival of their newborn. “David graciously let me take over his phone to write our ‘baby is finally here’ announcement post.”
Henrie, who hosts EWTN Studios’ Seeking Beauty show, just wrote a book with his wife.
Celebrating Peter’s grand arrival, Maria brought humor to a moment years in the making: “Peter Henrie was born September 2nd, taking his own sweet time, a week late, at a whopping 10lbs 4oz. God bless a woman’s pelvis. Truly.”
Behind the joy, however, lies a deep journey of grief, loss and healing.
“Peter is our rainbow baby,” Maria shared. “This topic is very meaningful to me because while we talk a lot about rainbow babies, rarely do we see the actual reality of both sides of that rainbow.”
For the Henrie family, the dark side
