Thoughts on 90 Day Fiance: What Now? season 4, episode 7/Loren and Alexei's Baby Special

It was honestly confusing what this episode belonged to.

  1. Do babies need armoires?
  2. Loren is so stressed
  3. They have an insanely large stack of water bottles
  4. I thought you weren't supposed to bring baby gifts into the house until the baby was born?
  5. Ah so it's because the building won't let you get deliveries at some point
  6. I'm so glad they're not naming the baby Corona
  7. Okay I remember their love story originally being that he proposed while they were on birth right not that Loren went back to Israel five times in one year to see him and he proposed on the last one
  8. I also didn't remember that Alexei got denied for tourist visas
  9. Did Alexei ever forgive Loren's friend for the bachelorette party thing?
  10. It is great that Alexei is now a citizen
  11. "This is pregnancy at its finest" Loren says while crying about a changing table
  12. Aw it is sad that Alexei's parents can't come for the baby's birth
  13. Wow Loren is so pregnant, like that shouldn't be a surprise but wow!
  14. What is an incompetent cervix?
  15. I mean not saying that I believe that it always happens this way, but it seems like Alexei is feeling the thing where dads don't feel like dads until they hold their child
  16. Man, Loren is having a rough pregnancy. She has to worry about passing on Tourettes, she had to get a surgery about her incompetent cervix, and now she has preeclampsia
  17. This guy says they're following all precautions, but he isn't wearing gloves
  18. I thought usually the partner gets to be in the room for most of the c-section, but maybe I'm wrong
  19. I thought they said the baby was big? He's not even 6 pounds
  20. Wait if he was just a couple days early, why does he need to be in the NICU?
  21. Oof, Loren can't see her baby?
  22. "I feel like if you're getting your penis snipped, it should be in the comfort of your own home"
  23. Loren is so into Alexei
  24. Ha they say it isn't life, it is exhaustion aka living for keeping the baby alive
  25. So Loren wants the baby to have Loren's face, Alexei's body, Loren's personality, and Alexei's brain
  26. "Germs is okay" "Go wash your hands!"
  27. A virtual bris
  28. Wow the baby is not happy
  29. I love the baby's name is Shai
  30. They are so sweet

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica...

15 ways to support me on my parental journey

I posted yesterday and in August, 2023 about starting my parental journey. If you're wondering how you can support me, here are some ideas I have at the moment (though these may change and also don't feel pressured to do any of these things). Check in via text or DM so I can respond at my leisure (but please don't be insulted if I take a long time to respond) Help with arranging food for me (I know that when I get overwhelmed, I often have really awful eating habits) Offer to help with apartment chores (I may turn you down, but the offer will mean a lot) Walk Hoban (I realize only some people can do this, but the relief of lightening the responsibility of Hoban will likely be welcome) Be understanding if I have to cancel plans (I hope to still be somewhat social during this time, but I cannot guarantee how I'm going to feel) Drive me to appointments (I have the retrieval itself covered, but I have other appointments that will happen leading up to it so if you have the...
