It means a baby born after loss
Congrats on your BFP
Everyone wants happiness, no one wants pain, but you can't make a rainbow without a little rain.

Rainbow Babies
A baby that is conceived after the loss of a previous baby is sometimes called a Rainbow Baby. *The idea is that the baby is like a rainbow after a storm. "Rainbow Babies" is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn't mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover, but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy, and hope.

Yes it does, that's exactly what it's like. I still think about my angel daily and although this baby is amazing and a dream come true - it doesn't erase the pain from their older sibling. Thanks for putting it so beautifully, people who haven't had a loss just can't understand
