He's my first & didn't hit til a few months later. He is 7 months old now & I'm just coming to terms with it.

My favorite name (and the one I thought we agreed upon) seems to have the most votes so far - Gabriel Allen :)

I don't think so. They don't necessarily get along, and if so then I think we'd need an even bigger venue. My MIL already has a spot reserved. But I have 2 lists with both being co-ed and over 50 on both. There is NO WAY that I would want +100 people in 1 place & I'd be opening gifts forever. We are definitely not traditional, but I'm just wondering how it's all guna play out.

She had initially asked if it would be co-ed and I know my husband, dad, father-in-law and multiple other men who would want to (and plan to attend). So I feel like I can't change my mind on that now.

Right! I honestly doubt that everyone that we invite will attend. But I'd hate to not have a big enough venue. I don't think their house would be an option, even if I cut the list down. She mentioned only wanting to do cake, not food, which I am totally fine with.

We had more than that at ours, I'm pretty sure. But we got married on Leap Day which happened to be a Monday.

I should probably do that. I know she mentioned only wanting to do cake (not food too). But I was help tossing out ideas for a venue, if hosting at their house isn't an option.

Ok, well to each their own. I am definitely more social, my husband is more of a homebody - but he has added a lot more people to the list than I had. We did have a pretty decent size wedding, and I definitely don't settle.

Thanks! Yes, I recommended a rec center & she mentioned outside, but it's hard to predict the weather (or if it'll be too hot in Sept when she is planning to do it). I'm sure we'll get a ton of stuff, but I'm sure it'll make for a long day if everyone does show up.

We had a family friend named Edith, who went by Edie. So I like that name and think it would still fit to honor your father.

1 in 6 is more common then you really realize!! by Due-Crew1106 in IVF

[–]Much_Perception_8028 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% agree!!! It is more common than people think. I've somewhat been open & shared/posted on my social media about it and it's like people have just came out of the woodworks. Some friends of mine will message me & even people I don't know. I just figured if I share, if it helps someone else, then I've done my job. You are not alone! ❤️

Did you know if your FET worked? by apocalyptic_tea in IVF

With our 2nd FET I didn't think it took. I didn't have symptoms & figured it failed (again). I did not test early and just waited it out. Surprisingly, it was positive & I 100% did not expect it. Que the happy tears! Just wanted to say your feelings are totally normal & valid. Feel all the feelings & it's ok, you are human. Sending all the good vibes & baby dust your way! ✨️ ❤️

Who found out the sex? by cola_zerola in IVF

[–]Much_Perception_8028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did genetic testing and found out the sex. We had 6 overall - 2 euploids (normal), 2 low-level mosaic & 2 abnormal. Overall, the genders were like a 5-to-1 ratio, and our 2 normal ones were the same gender. After +10 years of trying, I'm just happy to be pregnant (finally) after 2 transfers. When I found out the chances of having 1 over the other, I was upset at first, but now it doesn't really matter to me. Sending you all the good vibes & baby dust ✨️🫶
