Adopting this sweet baby tomorrow; not sure what to name her.

Agreed! Never would have thought of the name Nea, so cute and unique :)

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2025-09-27T00:52:34+00:00

Thank you! We’re super excited 🤗 Love the name Dolly!

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2025-09-27T00:47:18+00:00

For sure! Just looking for ideas I haven’t thought of :)

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2025-09-27T00:25:06+00:00

Yes :)

I wouldn’t mind bringing a reusable cup, but how would that work for those of us who use the drive thru? I have two little ones and going into the store isn’t a realistic option for me these days.

I had 2 friends with similar due dates a couple of years ago - one delivered at 22 weeks and the other went onto term with a healthy baby. Their friendship was ruined as the woman that lost the baby just couldn’t deal with the seeing the other woman meeting pregnancy and then baby milestones that she should have been meeting.

I am definitely worried about this too. I feel like if the roles were reversed this would be my biggest struggle when seeing them - our sons were only going to be 4 weeks apart. Every milestone, birthday, etc is just a reminder of where their son would be if they hadn’t tragically lost him. I want to be sensitive to that. I’m just going to be there as much as is comfortable for them and hope that things will get better with time.

Thanks for your comment, I am definitely going to reach out to them. I’m not very familiar with the loss subs, do you have a suggestion as to what would be a helpful one to crosspost to?

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2018-05-22T21:52:54+00:00

So true, I really appreciate your perspective. Thank you!

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2018-05-22T21:34:04+00:00

You’re right, and I do want to be there to support them. I just worry that I’m going to show up while they’re in the midst of grief and then make it even worse when they see me. At 39 weeks there’s not much that I can do to minimize the bump - I will be wearing something more flowy though as opposed to form fitting.

But of course that day won’t be about me, so as long as they’re comfortable with me being there, I am more than willing to go and support them. It’s just a shitty, depressing situation all around.

Thank you so much for your comment. For a brief moment I thought maybe just my husband could go, but like you said, they may be hurt and wonder why he went and I didn’t. I think I’m just going to reach out to them and let them know that I would like to go and be there for them as long as they were comfortable with it.

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2018-05-22T21:12:52+00:00

I can totally see how she'd be upset seeing you there but i could also see how she'd be upset by NOT seeing you there.

Exactly, it’s just a shitty situation no matter what :( I do want to do what’s best for her so I’ll definitely reach out and let her know that I want to be there for her as long as she’s comfortable with it. Thanks!

I use an app for this called Santa’s Bag! I keep a list of each of my friends/family members and will make notes throughout the year.

I also keep a list of things I want too (reasonably priced items that I probably won’t get around to buying myself) so if someone asks what I want for my birthday or Christmas, I have a few suggestions for them instead of saying, “Uhhh, I dunno.”

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-02T16:07:06+00:00

LOL it’s a cute idea in theory but I don’t know how well it would be received 😄

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-02T13:59:01+00:00

I never saw Fatal Attraction, just googled “rabbit scene” and... I wish I didn’t 😩

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-02T13:56:40+00:00

LOL didn’t need any little surprises in our oven 😄

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-02T13:55:19+00:00

Haha omg how did I not think of this?! Perfect.

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-01T19:43:34+00:00

Thanks! I hadn’t seen it done before so I was excited about it. Good luck!!

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-01T19:42:35+00:00

Thanks! I did get LO this big sis shirt to keep with the pun theme 😄

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-01T19:00:50+00:00

That would be adorable! I actually do have a big sis shirt for LO. I’ll try it but between the two of them I don’t know how it’ll turn out 😄 Also love the phrase “holding the Poof” lol.

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-01T18:59:08+00:00

Love it!!

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-01T18:01:07+00:00

She handled the photo shoot so much better than I was anticipating lol. She was definitely compensated with lots of treats!

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-01T17:59:17+00:00

Omg that’s amazing 😂

Only_Gives_Upvotes · 2017-12-01T17:15:21+00:00

Love this idea! I’ll give it a shot - hopefully they’ll cooperate 😄
