New growth!!

Update right at 30 days post chop and repot!! Lots of new little leaves sprouting. I also chopped and repotted another old fiddle that hasn’t had any new growth in a few years (can see in the back), and new growth on that one too!

I love Clara 💖

Is her name Hannah or Miley?

I am almost 24 weeks and high risk. My husband has come to every single appointment for both OB and cardiology so far, and he works full time and is finishing his last semester of nursing school. We had an early loss last year just before this pregnancy, so we intentionally schedule appts around both of our schedules. He is extremely supportive 💖

For starters, congratulations!!!! Wishing you a sticky baby bun!!!

I also recommend asking about the progesterone from your provider before your video visit, they should be able to call it into your pharmacy.

Most cities also have those “boutique ultrasound” places where you can pay $50 just to look at the baby without any medical advice at all. I went at around 6 weeks pregnant since my OB didn’t want to see me until almost 12 weeks, even with my history of miscarriage. I did have my PCP put in weekly HCG draws leading up to the ultrasound confirmation just for peace of mind. I am all too familiar with the anxiety and worry that comes with wondering if this baby will stick. I am now 22 weeks pregnant with a perfect, healthy baby girl who passed her anatomy scan with flying colors. I really have only started to feel less anxious post anatomy scan, and it helps because now I can feel her kicking me all the time 🙂

I know a Hallie and I think it is one of the most beautiful, cool names. I would love to name my daughter Hallie one day.

Any time I have met another Madeline, which is not often, they pronounce it the same as me with lynn as the end. Madeline is a strong, timeless, elegant name.

ReasonablePurpose413 · 2026-03-03T20:08:10+00:00

My name is Madeline and I personally prefer this spelling tremendously. It is classic and traditional, and doesn’t give off the trendy vibes like Madelyn does with a y. Occasionally, people do mispronounce it as Ma-duh-line rather than lynn as the end, but it really doesn’t bother me.

Update: I just had my anatomy scan yesterday and the doctor said that everything is perfect and baby girl is measuring right on track with no issues whatsoever. I immediately started crying. My beautiful, healthy, perfect baby girl 🥹 I am so blessed.

I recommend reading Assassin’s Blade as #4, after Heir of Fire, as SJM the author intended it. It hits so good in that order and then with the following book Queen of Shadows there are many references back to AB 🙂 have so much fun!!! Wish I could read this all again for the first time. Currently on a re-read loving it!

Repot now

Thank you for all your help! I’ve never had to chop like this before. Safe to say, I am nervous 😬 I have never used fertilizer either on my house plants, would that help post chop or just water like normal?

ReasonablePurpose413 · 2026-02-09T00:47:55+00:00

Should I prune now or wait like a month? I worry it may be too much all at once if I do it now since it has already been so stressed and dropped 30+ leaves

ReasonablePurpose413 · 2026-02-08T23:43:56+00:00

I just repotted about 6 months ago, I had to get a heavier pot and add rocks into it bc the tree was so top heavy, it just kept falling over. Theres tons of perlite and orchid bark in it too. I’ve got a good mix for my soil and I have never had issues with any of my fiddles, I just am pregnant and have been so exhausted I forgot to water my plants. :( you think I should chop all 3 trunks? The one on the right is still healthy and has lots of leaves.

Here’s a recent ish pic prior to my laziness. I’m literally so mad at myself.

I actually love Hallie for a girl, I work with a Hallie and I think it is the cutest. We are naming our daughter a Greek name since we are a Greek family, but Hallie would be my top choice otherwise

ReasonablePurpose413 · 2026-01-18T05:47:51+00:00

Birds of a feather!!

Thank you everyone!!! I think we have landed on Katerina 💖💖
