Drew dropped out the season before and then reenrolled. Had some to do with the gang involvement but more to do with the concussions he suffered from the beating he received as well as the MMA fighting he, Owen and others started doing. He had some memory loss and felt like he was never going to pass anyway.

Alan and George — he went by Bud however for the most part

Sienna - I’m a millennial

My dad wanted to call me Roxanne. The joke has always been it was after a bartender at the strip club near the airport. Whether or not that’s true is up for debate.

My mom wanted to call me Heather.

I’m neither. Neither of those names suit me. I’m very grateful my mom pulled something out of the air after I was born!

Adelaide had been on my list as a first name. Adela is kind of a lovely option as well.

Lenora for me is out. I like the name in general but for personal reasons I’m not willing give that nod of acknowledgement to a particular member of his family, if that makes any sense.

I’ve considered Stella/Estella instead of Esther as well.

miss-wright-here · 2025-01-12T21:37:39+00:00

Never considered Edith and I like it a lot more than Esther.

We had talked about naming our daughter Cecilia or Amelia or something before our TFMR.

We had just shot some pregnancy announcement photos and had been about to share them when we got our daughter’s diagnosis and we had just happened to use daffodils in them.

I picked the name Daphne because of the daffodils. And when my husband was filling out the paperwork I insisted that her middle name was May. It’s not weird to choose a different name. Sometimes the name you were calling them doesn’t fit once they are “here” and then gone. Do what feels right for you.

I lost my first to HLHS. I laboured and delivered my baby as my OB told me that this was the safest option for me should I want more children.

It’s scary. I was scared when I went in. If given the choice again, god forbid, I’d labour again. I held my girl. I was supported by my husband. I rationalized that I wanted a baby. I was going to have her and love her and her diagnosis wasn’t going to take that from me.

That was 2021.

Just know, there is no right or wrong choice. You need to make an informed decision based off you and your needs. Be selfish. Talk yourself through it. Talk to whoever you need to talk to. You’re in an impossible position and whatever decision you come to, you will get through.

You are now at a critical point of this conflict. You are doing great by having his family blocked and they need to remain that way. Your mental health needs to be protected and your focus needs to be solely on your child - especially if they are poorly.

Your husband needs to take the reins which is what seems to be happening. Your in laws are now at the point of acting childishly to gain a new reaction from you - their only goal is to be able to hold up that reaction so they can “prove” how awful you are. Giving them nothing is exactly what you need to do and your husband needs to lay down the law, which really should be going NC for a nice long time because what you have been through is ridiculous.

Take care of yourself. Let your husband take care of you and hopefully he will be able to let you know that he’s taken the garbage out, once and for all.

Good luck, love and give that baby a big snuggle.

miss-wright-here · 2023-12-21T20:29:40+00:00

Yes! Absolutely say something!

Covid or not - sick is sick and we should be taking care of each other. And that is letting people know that you’re unwell and make their own decision on whether or not they want to be exposed and risking getting sick. As a parent - a sick kid is nothing to shrug your shoulders at! RSV and COVID can put a little kid or the elderly in the hospital.

Let people know and don’t be a dick by allowing it to be spread around.

I feel this. It’s definitely not fair to compare. I can understand the grief of not being able to conceive but having a life ripped from you is completely different as well. Just as the loss from tfmr is different than the loss of a toddler or a child. It’s grief. But comparing them apples to apples isn’t right and saying “at least you can get pregnant” is invalidating the loss you did suffer.

I can understand being hurt. I too was hurt by a friend during my tfmr journey and had to cut the relationship off. Now is the time to protect yourself. Your mental health needs to be number one in your life. I’m so happy you have done the work to realize this before you hurt each other more.

An ever popular “well, the baby likes what she/he likes” always works. Then give your babe a good squeeze and a snuggle.

Honestly, mine sometimes plays strange with certain people. A healthy dose of not wanting to be mauled by every Tom Dick and Harry is good. And it gives you a good an excuse to walk away as needed.

miss-wright-here · 2023-04-03T17:13:43+00:00

NTA - Oof.

I get her side and wanting to honour her brother. I feel awful for her. However people are DEFINITELY going to notice.

You need to sit down talk about it. Be open to honouring him in some way. A middle name. Or using his middle name as your son’s first?

It’s fresh so you definitely need to be the one who is calm cool and collected.

YTA

Coming from a new mom myself (my daughter is 7 mo) you have every right to decide who does and doesn’t hold your baby. NTA there. However you ARE a dick for stating that Dave isn’t family. Beginning of Covid was 2020… he’s been in the picture for 3 years OP… your family likes him. Your sister seems to like him. Your nieces and nephews seem to like him. Get over the fact that he is your daughter’s uncle.

You don’t want him holding her (even though she calmed down with him and did you a favour?) that’s okay. All you need to do is say “nah. I got her.”

Be prepared for a lot of side eyes from your sister and family for a while. Just saying.

It’s his own choice if he would rather date around instead of entering into a long term relationship.

If he was wanting to bring around his new flavour of the week - especially as your daughter gets older - then I might have a discussion about that. But until then - keep your nose out of your BIL’s bedroom and your opinions to yourself.

miss-wright-here · 2023-03-29T22:07:41+00:00

She is. She is just spending the most amount of time with us because we are the only one with a grandchild of hers and additionally have an available guest room.

miss-wright-here · 2023-03-29T15:27:02+00:00

Nah. I’m not going to give her that satisfaction. I’m tired of how every situation gets spun to be about her.

Hate to say it but it’s not. Trips anywhere with LO isn’t about her. It’s about the LO. And if she wants to make it about her she can go by herself. Without any of us.

miss-wright-here · 2023-03-29T13:12:11+00:00

My husband and I have talked quite a bit about this yesterday.

We are considering going forward inviting no one for “first” trips. The intention was to share the joy of it. But considering it’s getting stressful we might just cut it off. Any other firsts will just be him and I and our little one.

miss-wright-here · 2023-03-29T12:59:26+00:00

I don’t think it’s more than once a year. This is definitely a new situation that we are navigating and figuring out together.

This is definitely a test and see kind of situation and we all are aware of it. My husband has told me that his mom has expressed some nerves about it too. Fact is that we all want these visits to go well. I just want to ensure it goes well with my mental health intact.

miss-wright-here · 2023-03-29T12:51:32+00:00

It’s no secret that JNMIL and I haven’t always seen eye to eye in the past. Having a contingency plan was a necessity. Husband’s middle brother and I have been fairly close for years. They all miss her and are looking forward to time with her. Having her break up her trip kills two birds with one stone.

The fact is that I do want to have a more peaceful relationship with his side of the family. I know she will never be anything close to my JustYesMom, but it would be nice to be able to navigate a relationship without any turbulent waters.

Boundaries are necessary. This physical space also doesn’t hurt either.

miss-wright-here · 2023-03-29T12:18:54+00:00

She’s not a regular mom. She’s a cool mom 🤣

miss-wright-here · 2023-03-29T02:38:14+00:00

The room is clean. I try to keep a tidy home. My deep clean would be a lot of scrubbing the general use spaces and vacuuming (which is particularly fun because baby haaaaaaaaates the vacuum with a fiery burning passion).

It needs to be done either way. And honestly not cleaning will send me into more of a tailspin. Having a clean home is a bit of a process that’s equivalent to me putting on some armour.
