YouTuber Brittani Boren Leach has recently given birth to her baby, ten months after she lost her son. She posted an update about her newborn on Thursday morning as she wrote about her overwhelming experience in welcoming her newborn.
The 29-year-old mom shared on Instagram on November 12 that her newborn son, Cole, arrived at 8:33 in the morning. She included a powerful photo of herself as she held the little one while lying on the hospital bed. Her husband, Jeff, peered down at the duo while wearing his mask to keep everyone safe.
She had a long night before the birth
The YouTuber shared that she had a "long night" in her previous post. She also wrote that she got an epidural that only "worked on the right side." She felt nauseous and extremely anxious after the medical team fixed it.

Her son stopped breathing on Christmas
Leach shared a previous post that she packed her late son's stuffed llama in her overnight bag. Her son Crew took a nap on Christmas, but suddenly he stopped breathing. On December 28, he joined the creator. The social media influencer wrote alongside the photo that she sleeps with the stuffed toy every night, so she felt that her son was with her. On Wednesday morning, she received words of support after she posted that she was in labor.
It was surreal that their rainbow baby is arriving
She said it was surreal to be typing the words that their rainbow boy will soon be arriving. She was in tears as she typed because she has a lot of feelings and emotions during that time. She explained she could feel her late son in the room with them, ready to meet his sibling, who he perfectly hand-picked to join their family.

Leach has regularly shared on social media memories and tributes about Crew since the little one died. In May, she opened up about her pregnancy after her baby died. She explained that the beauty of a rainbow does not counter any storm ravage.
The mom-of-five wrote that when a rainbow appears, it does not mean that no storm has ever happened. But she explained that it is something full of light and beautiful that came amid the darkness and clouds.

The YouTuber then added that storm clouds may still hover, but she noted that the rainbow is there to provide a counterbalance of color, energy, and hope. Now, Leach has four boys, Carter. Cooper, and Cash, together with her husband. She also has a sixth-grader stepdaughter named Sydney.
The couple and their children visited the grave of Crew in September. It was supposed to be the little boy's first birthday. Leach wrote on her Instagram Storytelling Crew a happy birthday alongside a photo of Crew's grave that they filled with gifts and candies.
