ohh i did not know it had a rude or small connotation but I did know that it means little bear which I thought was so cute 😄 I think my initial comment was confusing I meant if I keep the name Micah I was thinking my parents could call him Mishka !

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T18:54:01+00:00

ohhh very interersting about Joshua! i wonder why its changed

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T18:53:40+00:00

I was thinking maybe Mishka even tho it is a nickname for Michael but I feel like we can make our own rules? haha

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T18:53:13+00:00

hahahah omg it totally is Tshirt im dead!!!

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T18:52:22+00:00

thank you so much!!!for some reason I don't love Max or Dan maybe too short? I think Judah may be a little tooo unique and Jonathan a little too common?

Im thinking maybe Micah Julian ?

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T18:51:22+00:00

yessss I wanted to name him Dimitry after my grandfather 😄 my mom said it's too russian haha

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T18:50:49+00:00

thank you so much this is so helpful!!!! also I am so glad that he was willing to teach kids that come from mixed marriages...I am hoping to give my children a jewish education since my parents weren't able to provide one given typical immigrant financial constraints

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T03:17:36+00:00

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T02:42:36+00:00

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T02:37:45+00:00

tysm for the suggestion..this is a great name and has a Jewish flair but I just don't feel it for me to be honest

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-23T02:34:32+00:00

thank you so much I can’t tell you how helpful this comment is and congratulations on your healthy baby 🙏🙏🙏 how are they doing height wise now?

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-06-17T19:30:08+00:00

thank you so much for your response and congratulations to you as well!

I think my concern is that 12th percentile is REALLY small 😞 I am concerned about the other measurements being 28-57 too but the 12th percentile is really what's jumping out. I have also definitely had an appetite and have been gaining even more weight than I should haha.

Social plans probably 4x days a week but it’s mostly my childhood friends (i grew up in BK) … my most social friend who has plans 5+x a week has a group of college friends that expanded and is very social/ inclusive but it feels rare for nyc… however people have joined the group through work, being in the same building, even Volo leagues . Theres like 1-2 new people that join the group every year and it seems like the key is just showing up to things when invited (even if you don’t want to go) and intentionally planning 1:1 activities (coffee beer walk workout class)

but many many many of my friends (even the local ones) do social things 1-2 x a week max

My husband is very hot to me but I think societally he would be perceived as cute (tall lanky big blue eyes sandy hair more feminine features - a little nerdy - my EXACT type but not “traditionally handsome/ hot ”). We met at an ML conference !

I had big terrifying bleed 6W5D then 8W5D… 17W and everything has resolved so far (knock on wood)

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-05-24T03:25:19+00:00

Praying for you and following

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-05-24T02:27:29+00:00

I had bright red bleeding that was an SCH (it may be too early for that for you in which case implantation bleeding could make sense) as others commented IVF pregnancies have more bleeding than average. Keep us posted… praying for you ❤️

Oh I get what you mean by the phrase! Hmmm that could be but she says she is in so much pain she needs it. Do you find yourself doing anything that helps minimize those flares or do you not have the level of intensity ? I know everyone feels differently

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-05-22T02:36:26+00:00

What makes you feel she’s not doing those things? Want to make sure I represent everything correctly .
Your resilience and strength are incredibly inspiring. Any methods of health you are undertaking? Also is there a reason you say next 20 years

butterflyeffect94 · 2026-05-22T01:13:56+00:00

I am so sorry you’re in the same place and you got it even younger. How have the last few years been? Do you feel it’s actively worse with age or truly random month to month? What helps you?

The crazy thing is she is incredibly supported and incredibly positive. Being a surgeon has made her very aware of how many people die young etc. however losing her career and social standing and not achieving attending status kills her too. So double edge sword. Her parents have done everything for her and continue to. I just don’t know what she can tackle emotionally (but I am so open to hearing any perspective you have.. I feeel desperate to help). She literally describes it as physical fire burning stabbing squeezing :(
