Those old LiveJournal posts are obnoxious, but I mean, come on. I live in ABJECT TERROR of someone finding my old LiveJournal. There is nothing good about anything you wrote 12 years ago.

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
Oh jeeze, that sounds like something Joan will be all over.. i'm really worried this child will never have it's own identity other than being Maeve's sibling, and will be constantly compared to a child that passed before they have anything to be compared too.. (that sounds so harsh, but you get me)gymchick43 wrote:Joan mentioned she has the same due date as Maeve apparently June 30 I thinklurking10 wrote:Nikier wrote:Are her and Ellie due the same time?

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
There is no way John stays at this job. He doesn't even know what he'll be doing. He will be standing at a machine most of if not all of the day. If he's lucky the position may have a bit more to it but it will be somewhat if not mind numbingly repetitive. I just can't see him doing that long term. He should have accepted the cable repair job. Yes the pay started low and he'd need training but its a stable job with variety and he obviously likes trouble shooting and repair work. He really is a hot mess when it comes to employment. At his age I am not impressed. I'd like to say he's a loser. Is that too mean?

Not at all mean. It is exactly what I have been thinking about him. They both irritate me but John comes across extra arrogant/con man like.minmouse wrote:There is no way John stays at this job.

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
Yeah, I got irrationally angry at the "Dress for the job you want-- 80's fighter pilot" post. Yeah, the 1980's, when we weren't at war and Tom Cruise was in "Top Gun". He wouldn't last a day in the military, much less make it as a fighter pilot.here4thepopcorn wrote:Not at all mean. It is exactly what I have been thinking about him.

Maybe it wasn't irrationally angry after all.

He needs to become internal at a good company with a union and then he can work his way up with seniority. Like a housekeeper, food server or orderly at a hospital are great ways to become internal with a good pay, well at least at my hospital orderlies (who only need high school level) make 20-25$ an hour

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
She’s been quiet for a while unless I’m missing something. I hope everything is ok with the baby. Ellie made a comment in the e&j vlog that one of her friends is going through a bad time right now and I’m hoping it’s not her.

I literally just came to post something similar. The post on her Instagram tonight about a year ago and Ellie and Jared's IVF grant giveaway specifically mentioned Calvin being born just a short time (10 days) prior to Maeve. And now not only is her baby due right near Maeve's due date (if not on), but she and Ellie are both right at 10 weeks pregnant. I honestly think the best possible thing at this point would be for her to have a little boy and Ellie a girl. Get at least some obvious differences in there that she can't compare.

I genuinely hope that the baby is a boy purely because if it is a girl,Joan is crazy enough to think that it's Maeve reincarnated or something,But the fact that E&J Have two boys,makes me feel like this one may be a boy,because some people just dont have much of the oppisite gender sperm,so to speak (They have all X or all Y,or at least,that's the only ones that seem to make babies) Ive watched someone have 12 boys before they had one girl,it's all in the father's sperm what the child is going to be,so i feel like the more of one gender that they have,the more likely it is for the rest to be that gender (Dont quote me,this is my theory,i have no idea if there is actual research on this,but from experience,it seems this way where i live...maybe it's something in the water?)
however,with Joan and john ,We dont really have anything to compare it to,because we are unsure of 'Sweet pea's gender,and maeve was a girl.So,based off of my weird theory i cant really apply it here.

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
Does anyone think it is strange and obsessive that their Christmas tree is filled with ONLY fox ornaments?? I can see having one two to represent Maeve but yet again Joan has gone to extremes. She needs more serious therapy!!

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
Let me get this straight. The moms pumping at her work had to sit and stare at a picture of a dead baby while they pump milk for their babies?

Also I'm glad that Joan's scan went well I hope she continues to have a healthy pregnancy.

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
I’ve never seen that before, heard about it though! Thanks for sharing.
It could be quite confronting or even triggering to some, but my guess is people would be too afraid to speak up.
I just saw her scan pic, very glad to see baby is growing as they should. Have they said when they are finding out/announcing the gender? I’m curious as to whether she’s having a boy, or another girl.

Re: John and Joan (IVF grant recipients)
In the video she said that they can find out early with genetic testing, (and john wants to) but apparently its not his decision and she let him know that in a kind of bitchy way, i thought. I guess she wants to wait and see if she can tell the gender herself by ultrasound (even though she was wrong with Maeve and thought she was a boy)actuallydear wrote:I’ve never seen that before, heard about it though!
