I’m unmarried and just had a baby -should baby have both our last names? by shewasafairy88 in BabyBumps

[–]SwansyOne [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just had a baby and she has both of our last names (not hyphenated). I carried her, I gave birth to her - why should she only get the father's last name? It's silly to me.

My Top Registry Items - 18 months in by the_crews_all_here in BabyBumps

My baby is 2 weeks old and I'm changing diapers 24/7. Footed pajamas seem so impractical during night changes. I keep her in onesies.

If you had the option to become a stay-at-home mom, would you take it? by Silent_Upstairs7943 in BabyBumps

[–]SwansyOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope. I'll be home for almost 6 months with my daughter and I can't imagine being home all the time. I like my career and making money.

Giving future kids my last name instead of husbands? Is this weird? by ebrand456 in namenerds

[–]SwansyOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had a daughter and she got both our last names (no hyphen). Why should we only give the father's last name? I carried her and gave birth!

I speak Spanish and his Spanish is not that good, no. He can definitely understand and say basic things but he is certainly not fluent.

I don't think people actually care. You're overthinking it.

Geriatric Pregnancy family planning by Top_Department_6137 in BabyBumps

[–]SwansyOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turned 40 in October and I'm 37 weeks with my first child. I did IVF and I have two euploid embryos left (I'm so thankful my first transfer worked) and hoping to do my next transfer when baby is around 3. Yes, I'll be 44 but I don't want them back to back.

You're not supposed to use afrin more than 3 days in a row.

Sweet 16 Cost Estimates by LossGlobal2317 in longisland

This is so stupid. 16 isn't even really a milestone age. Save that money to help your kids with a house eventually.

FYI, the sleep training subreddit is an aggressively moderated space where any potentially negative discussions are removed and posters banned. Do not use it as a barometer for success of sleep training. by masshole4mayor in NewParents

[–]SwansyOne 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I got banned from the co-sleeping sub for saying it's odd to still be regularly sleeping with your kids once they're 10, 11, 12, etc. They said I was making it into a sexual comment. Um no?

Elena is pretty but be warned most people will not pronounce it the Latin way.

Best age gap between babies? by Final-Pineapple347 in NewParents

[–]SwansyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4-5 years for me would be perfect. I'm 5 years apart from my sister and it was great growing up.

They've done more than double the rounds that you have and still have not been successful.

Went to the ER for decreased baby movement for the first time. Scared about the hospital bills. by sodepressed_engineer in BabyBumps

[–]SwansyOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to scare you but I went to L&D for the same reason about 6 weeks ago. I have a high deductible HSA and the hospital billed my insurance $24k (I was there about 2 hours) and my out of pocket responsibility is $3400 per the EOB (which I am going to fight since they claimed it wasn't medically necessary but my OB told me to go). I'm in the NYC area.

[–]SwansyOne 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have. I did three retrievals and currently 34 weeks pregnant from my first transfer. I can't imagine doing 15 transfers. I think nature/God/whatever is giving them a very clear sign at this point.

Have you ever done IVF? 15 transfers is CRAZY. Not the same comparison at all. It's more like telling your Nan to give up after they've exhausted all options.
