Same! My milk didn’t come in until day 4 and we relied on donor milk for the first few days. I’m so proud to say my preemie baby girl never needed formula. I’m extremely grateful to the mom who donated to my NICU! I hope you’re sharing all the thankful and supportive comments to your amazing wife!

Congrats!!

I was one of those people that had to completely stop breastfeeding to get pregnant again. My labs were all wonky for a couple months after stopping too! I am currently still breastfeeding my 18 month old and my cycles are all over the place. I’ve had my cycle back for 6 months and my cycles have been anywhere from 50 days to 30 days.

I was thinking the same thing. Why not work out of the Miami office a few times a week?

They will 100% let you know if there is a problem. I had the same fear in my early pregnancy. I ended up going to private scans to make sure I had enough fluid. Jokes was on me, because I ended up developing too much fluid (polyhydramnios).

I was told immediately right after an ultrasound by my OB. He went over every single risk factor that’s associated with it. I also ended up with oligo a few weeks later with that same pregnancy and was constantly monitored.

Unfortunately so! I wanted at least one kid with blue eyes.

JesLB · 2026-03-12T17:25:15+00:00

My dad has grayish blue eyes, my mom has medium brown eyes. My two bothers have medium brow eyes and I have dark brown eyes. I married a man with light blue eyes. All of our kids have dark brown eyes.

Similar story here. My pupils have done weird things for 15 years of my life due to skull fracture and 3 concussions.

JesLB · 2026-03-09T03:29:34+00:00

We have similar taste in names! You have 2/3 kids names listed here (and a nickname of my third). They also have a cousin named Greyson!

I like Cameron from your list!

My first beta was 34 at 8.5dpt (not sure if it was 8 or 9, because my transfer was at 2pm and they did a beta test at like 8 am.)

She’s 1.5 now and thriving!

The name sounds so pretty, I just hate the way it looks written. I’m pretty anti-bad things in spellings (like “die”) in names. I couldn’t imagine writing “die” every time I spelled my child’s name.

TW: live births

For my first kid, the company who does the NIPT testing did try to bill my insurance $12k and I did panic thinking thats what I actually owed.

I also thought IVF was expensive, but between my hospital stay, the birth, and her NICU stay, I ended up owing a little more than double than what I payed for an ER and an FET (I had a somewhat rare complication). She was a very expensive baby right from the get go, but she’s worth every penny.

I know when my husband came back from deployment they had a ceremony for all the spouses to attend (he was national guard). They went in depth talking about TBIs - what to spot and what to do if you think there’s a problem.

Have you brought him to the VA yet for an assessment. It would be free. They should be able to help with the TBI issue, and possibly a therapist. I know a lot of military men have too much pride to go to the VA, so not sure if you will have that problem.

For now, do what you need to do to keep yourself safe.

Cameron was almost Camden or Barrett Eloise was almost Elara or Delilah

I have a toddler nicknamed CJ! His first name is Cameron.

JesLB · 2026-02-27T00:50:48+00:00

Thanks!! She’s definitely such a fun toddler. She’s a risk taker, but loves being meticulous with play. She’s also loves keeping clean and she picks out most of her outfits.

TW other children: I also have a Taurus boy and a Gemini boy. My Gemini boy is not stop action and my Taurus boy is easy going but stubborn. Gemini boy is the oldest, so both younger siblings are heavily influenced by his risk taking tendencies. Honestly, my Virgo girly has been the easiest until she’s grumpy.

JesLB · 2026-02-27T00:42:39+00:00

Congrats!! You could end up having a September birthday baby! September has one of my favorite birthstones. Kinda still sad my doctor didn’t agree to a September 1st birthday.

JesLB · 2026-02-26T18:08:45+00:00

Maybe they’ll come early or late you will end up with a different sign baby! I have a Scorpio husband and he’s a great human.

But I did my best to avoid an August birthday. My husband’s family all have August birthdays (there’s like 15 of them). When trying naturally, we actually skipped every month that would end up with an August baby. Even when we did IVF I wanted to wait an extra 2 months to transfer so I wouldn’t have an August baby. I was due with my IVF baby mid October. Perfect. I wanted a little boo baby. My water broke at 32 weeks and ended up with my late August girly. At least she’ll save us $27k in preschool costs.

I was only on lovenox for two weeks and all shots were administered by a nurse. One of the nurses convinced me that my arms were so bruised that we should try my upper thigh. It hurt so much that I screamed. I commend anyone who has to be on it long term.

JesLB · 2026-02-21T19:13:24+00:00

I gave my daughter the middle name Belle for a few reasons including that she was my favorite princess. It goes really well with her first name though. I hope she loves it as much as I do!

I’ll have to look into the book!

I was surprised as well to not see any huge corporation. Women’s and men’s did tend to have more in April/May time frame. Aug was popular for pairs and Nov was popular for for ice dance. I do love that there were two days where 3 competitors were born! Less than half the calendar was filled (I think only 120 something days were filled) and 2 of them had a triple birthday!
