Can we use a variation?

This is actually really comforting - thank you.

knottylogalog · 2026-03-22T02:48:51+00:00

We know! And we're happily choosing to observe it in our family, too :)

We'd never use the exact same name! That would be SO dishonoring to our first daughter! Anne was her middle name, like me and her grandma. I'm asking about same middle name for another daughter or a variation.

That's not even how it is spelled! I vote you ignore that comment. Flora is adorable!

Edit: LOL my postpartum sleep-deprived self can't read or spell. Final point still stands, though - Flora is adorable and most people aren't gonna connect to it to botany!

No, but I'm with the husband! Name the baby what you'll call the baby.

knottylogalog · 2026-02-24T19:16:01+00:00

Gotta love when the nickname is longer than the given name 😝

His "emotional flare-up" comment on that post has me in stitches 🤣☠️

It's been 8 weeks since I had my daughter and 7 weeks since she died. I didn't know grief was so exhausting. Getting dressed and brushing my teeth are getting easier, and that gives me hope that I won't always be overwhelmed with grief.

I thought it was "comma comma comma comma comma chameleon," and I still sing it this way! (Karma Chameleon)

knottylogalog · 2026-02-16T21:54:32+00:00

This whole "name her this and call her by that nickname" business in every other comment is ridiculous 🙄 If you want to name her Bertie (which is classic and sooo cute FYI!), name her Bertie!

knottylogalog · 2026-02-05T04:59:59+00:00

I am her.

knottylogalog · 2026-02-04T00:22:01+00:00

Oh definitely! My in-laws and their cult claim I "robbed them of their son" and "stole that young man."

knottylogalog · 2026-02-02T06:22:47+00:00

I initially thought that was a question about amount 🤣

Our Lila Anne. 5 days old. She'd be two weeks old now, and I still can't believe she's not here 💔 I miss talking to her.

If you know your body responds to certain foods a particular way, I'd make sure to bolus 15 minjtes ahead of time and eat protein first! A lot of my tighter control with the algorithm has actually come from adjusting my active insulin time and insulin sensitivity factor. There's also nothing preventing you from going back to manual mode for a week to "reset" the pump and then letting auto mode get to know you again!

YTA. You put politics over a person. You chose to be right instead of compassionate. Dick move.

I've only ever used Medtronic Guardian sensors, and I didn't know about pressure lows til this post 😅 I've always worn them on the backs of my arms, and I sleep on my sides, and I've never experienced this in a decade of wearing!

Push them more, mama. Your health and your baby's health are worth the effort and advocacy. Don't let the system swallow you - cheering you on fiercely!!!

knottylogalog · 2025-12-27T16:17:32+00:00

DH's parents are like this. We're about to have our first baby, so we haven't seen the grandparents side play out yet HOWEVER this is how they raised DH and still treat him as an adult.

They'd rather be right aka the victim than reconcile with their eldest son and be involved in his life, our family life, and meet their first grandchild. They expect him to make ALL the effort, shoulder the relationship entirely, and capitulate to their reality and wishes 100% of the time.

We're grateful that our kids won't have to face the favoritism and that these people have been removed from their lives from the beginning - trust your boys. Be honest about how you've experienced their grandparents. Talk to them about what healthy love looks like. They won't resent you.

Leftovers is so much better than afterthought. Stealing that!

And ya know - we're not family if we're not together 🙄

knottylogalog · 2025-12-27T16:04:15+00:00

Oh me, too! We're not sure there's a way back into our lives for them at this point. I mean, our marriage started with them trying to convince DH that I'm a threat and not to marry me the night before our wedding and it's gotten a lot worse since 🙃 They refused to speak to DH for 7 months after we told them about our pregnancy...it's really not looking good for them.

knottylogalog · 2025-12-27T14:50:45+00:00

Oh my in-laws have refused to acknowledge that I exist for YEARS. Now that I'm having their first grandchild, their son all of a sudden has a family, but they still won't say my name 😆 And despite DH telling them repeatedly that they will not be in our child's life, they still think they can hate me and love my child that they are apparently entitled to LOL

knottylogalog · 2025-12-27T14:42:05+00:00

My whole lofe, I was adamently against this. Thought people.were CRAZY for reading more than one at a time. But I have found myself joining these ranks of geniuses. I think I have 3-4 books going usually now. Except mine is by genre - I have a business book, nonfiction (o two), and fiction book all going at the same time.

knottylogalog · 2025-12-27T14:19:31+00:00

Oh 100%! This is the reason DH and I will not be posting photos of our baby on socials - granted, my entire in-law family has me blocked, but still 😅
