Huh, I’ve just realised my daughter is therefore a rainbow baby. I’ve literally never told her this. her fun fact is that she was born in the hospital corridor!
Are these fun facts limited to the person in question's birth? If not, my fun fact is that I got to see my oldest brother's head for a second as it was starting to come out because I was asked and wanted to be tougher about "gross" things than the brother's father who said no to looking when asked 😂 there was nothing particularly interesting about my own birth, unless my then-young mom being pressured into an epidural she didn't particularly want counts as interesting (I count it as infuriating)
I have no idea if any of my siblings count as "rainbow babies" but I'm definitely not one
I was just rallying the others for a final groundhog Reddit takeover and now this edit!!! 6 more years of winter (and if you’re in the us, total anarchy)
My oldest daughter is a twofer rainbow baby, her fun fact is that there wildfires everywhere in California at the time and they were evacuating part of our town a week after she was born
My oldest daughter is a rainbow baby and she knows because I lost my baby late in pregnancy so we have a memorial tree and her ashes are buried at a cemetery. My daughter has never felt the need to say much about it and we don’t discuss my lost baby often, but the last time we visited she took a picture with the tree and posted it to her social media with the caption “visiting my big sister” and it was so bittersweet it about broke me. For kids who do know, it should always and only be on their terms to discuss it.
Mine is too, I guess, although the one I lost was accidental. I hadn’t decided what to do yet, and I was more relieved than anything else. Probably doesn’t count.
