Russell Dickerson’s wife, Coffee With Kailey podcast host Kailey Dickerson, shared a heartfelt post to observe National Rainbow Baby Day on Tuesday (August 22), honoring the babies born after pregnancy, infant or child loss.
Now expecting the couple’s second child — joining big brother Remington, who turns 3 next month — Kailey said the pregnancy “has had an extra dose of gratitude” after opening up about losing a pregnancy last year. She noted, for example, that her July 30 baby shower coincidentally took place exactly one year after the day she leaned she was pregnant with the baby she lost, calling the unplanned celebration date “a sweet God Nod.”
“Every minute of this pregnancy has had an extra dose of gratitude covering it,” Kailey wrote. “From the stranger (turned friend) who prayed over us at the beach just days before we got pregnant… to the thoughts of the past repeating itself and choosing to picture the promise over the fear… to the extra apts and blood draws… to seeing his heartbeat and breathing a sigh of relief… to seeing him grow and grow and now having dance parties in my belly… the good / the bad the easy / the hard… every bit of it. It’s something I’ll never ever take for granted 🌈☁️ So thankful for this rainbow boy and my people who have stood beside us to get here 🫶🏼”
On December 31, 2022, Kailey headed into the New Year by opening up about losing her previous pregnancy in September 2022, quickly garnering support from mothers and other supporters.
Russell and Kailey announced earlier this year that Baby No. 2, another boy, is on the way. The couple posted a sweet video that captured the moment Kailey told the “God Gave Me A Girl” star that she’s pregnant, followed by the adorable gender reveal (even though it didn’t quite go as planned). Dickerson Baby No. 2 is due this fall.
