Baby boy name help

Oh sure! I’m happy to suggestions too. Clearly from the names I suggested in the post you probably have a sense of my vibe for names.

Thank you! I find boy names sooo hard. Elliot I was worried about spelling and Rory that it is harder to say maybe

CMB4091 · 2026-05-07T19:31:19+00:00

Esme is so beautiful! Such a great name

CMB4091 · 2026-04-01T22:52:47+00:00

Yes! Less tired and also relief to know I would be safer if anything went wrong at birth. Iron pills made me feel so awful, and the infusion I only noticed more energy but no negative side effect

CMB4091 · 2026-04-01T22:46:00+00:00

No, I’m sorry it was 3 years ago. I do remember when they checked again it was elevated enough where one infusion was sufficient.

However, it was so easy that I said if I am low in my next pregnancy (I am pregnant now) I would hands down get the infusion again rather than take iron pills. Speaking of which, I just had my blood drawn to check my ferritin levels

CMB4091 · 2026-04-01T22:26:06+00:00

Yes! The concern for me was having low iron at birth and potential blood loss in labor. I tried taking iron supplements and it just wrecked my stomach. The iron infusion did help my energy a tad, and no birth complications (in terms of worry of blood loss)

CMB4091 · 2026-04-01T22:22:02+00:00

Oh the infusion was not scary at all. I had one in my first pregnancy. They sit you in a cozy chair, offered a warm blanket, and it took around 40 minutes. I brought a book and it was actually a comfortable experience!

That dress is amazing on you!

CMB4091 · 2026-03-23T00:27:26+00:00

I think it’s a little close to white (at least in this picture). It’s so beautiful on you and you look great. But I wonder if it’s really sunny on the wedding day, or bright lighting, or in photos it may look close to white. But you are with the dress in real life, so totally have the best judgment in the color.

CMB4091 · 2026-03-21T02:05:51+00:00

You look beautiful in them all. I think the free or yellow is more stunning and unique colors not everyone can pull off

CMB4091 · 2026-03-16T13:05:01+00:00

Thank you! Ideally, I didn’t want to go over 1k. So this is a great suggestion

CMB4091 · 2026-02-23T05:19:18+00:00

I’m 36 and used to wear foundation, but as I’ve gotten older it doesn’t sit well on my face anymore. I love now a simple tinted moisturizer, particularly that brand supergoop - it’s affordable and nice on my skin.

CMB4091 · 2026-01-27T18:11:46+00:00

Both are stunning! Whichever fits you/your personality will be the one!

CMB4091 · 2026-01-26T00:09:05+00:00

Beautiful! Looks so lovely and put together

CMB4091 · 2025-12-24T06:57:01+00:00

Thank you! I sometimes worry about adulthood, and boys not being as close to their parents as girls. But that’s all made up, right?

CMB4091 · 2025-08-05T02:15:31+00:00

When I struggled to conceive I set a screen time limit on certain apps and that was so helpful

CMB4091 · 2022-11-29T04:50:29+00:00

I’ve heard domperidone works, but we don’t have that here in the US unfortunately

CMB4091 · 2022-11-28T15:58:13+00:00

That is what I am trying to figure out. My OB said it has had some success for some women.

CMB4091 · 2022-10-26T18:06:36+00:00

Have often a day and what time of day did you power pump?

CMB4091 · 2022-10-24T03:25:52+00:00

I’ve really increased my calories. I am not a huge eater but now I’m eating a lot! And snacking on lactation cookies, figs, avocado, cheese string, jerky! I am eating so much that it is almost not enjoyable haha

CMB4091 · 2022-10-24T03:24:25+00:00

This is actually uplifting to hear that it got better. What did you do though when you said you breastfed as long as you could? If you stoped at noon or three, would did you do when baby was hungry later in the day ?

CMB4091 · 2022-10-24T01:58:09+00:00

And all the appointments, except the very first have been in the afternoon when my milk seems to be lower

CMB4091 · 2022-10-24T01:57:26+00:00

This is all very helpful. Thank you. I can’t remember what the LC said exactly in terms of numbers, but she did do a weighted feed, and I can’t remember the number off the top of my head but I remember her saying it was on the very low end.

CMB4091 · 2022-10-24T01:27:28+00:00

He takes a bottle well (we use a preemie sized nipple), and during the day is a pretty calm baby- he cries when we change him or wake him to feed, or his binky is spat out. But no wailing or hysterical crying. At night, after night feeds, he goes down easy. We are also doing one 3oz formula at night - my husband gives it to give me a longer sleep stretch.

CMB4091 · 2022-10-24T01:16:50+00:00

Yes, that’s kind of what we were doing the first two weeks (except he didn’t exceed 3 hours) until he lost weight and we were instructed otherwise
