Rash & Justine: Naturally Preggy or IVF? Maybe! | Part 33

[saltybitters]

This feels like the longest, dullest pregnancy ever, and that includes Alex's 9-part birth vlog

I feel like this pregnancy has been given no attention to at all, besides the breech situation. During her other pregnancies, she would post updates about ultrasounds, trimester screenings, etc, but not this one at all. I like Rachelle, but their content has gone downhill so much especially since the twins were born. Also Justin is rarely in the vlogs anymore, and she posts way less frequently then she used to. Before the twins, she was so sweet and authentic, but her whole vibe changed. Plus her vlogs are pretty boring now, at least they used to be somewhat entertaining.

Also same thing with Justin, he used to post on insta somewhat frequently, but this year he didn’t even post for the boys birthday.

This is all speculation, so bear with me here, but I think it has to do with the recent pushback against family vloggers combined with Kaylee's less-than-stellar social media experience with her own kids (that one creep that stole photos of her daughter and was roleplaying with them on instagram). Rachelle said that she wanted to cut back on having her channel be about her kids and their lives, rightfully so, but that significantly cuts down on the content she has to vlog about. She's a stay-at-home mom with a working husband, there's just not a lot of interesting things you can do in a day while wrangling 3 small children and an energetic dog by yourself, to mention nothing of trying to film on top of it.

I get the vibe that Justin wants to be less present on the internet in general now that he has a job, too. Maybe they're both just starting to mature out of the late teens/early 20s YouTube vlogger mindset of putting everything out there for the world to see.

However she never stopped hugging / touching her stomach…

Everyone keeps saying this baby looks just like Emma, but I don't see it. This one's actually pretty cute in my opinion. Emma and the boys weren't exactly what I would consider "cute" when they were newborns.

[Abcde]

She just said the name video will be up tomorrow! Do you guys have any guesses?

[liladorun14]

I’m not sure on first name, but I have a feeling one of the middle names is either going to be Kaylee (considering Asher is named after Patrick) or Justin’s grandma that passed away fairly recently. If I had to take a guess on the first name, it would be Aspen

[saltybitters]

They mentioned in one of their "names we love but won't be using" videos that they really like Charlotte/Scarlet, Aspen, and Hazel, so that'd be my guess. Probably something like Charlotte Kaylee (Justin's grandma's name) Swannie, since they do the double middle honor names.

[saltybitters]

The name is Faye Dorothea Beth. How is it they get worse at naming babies the more they have?

[Abcde]

Faye Dorothea Beth. What do we think?

Faye Dorothea Beth. What do we think?

IMO it's the worst of all their kids' names. It's just sooo boring and they should have used one of the middle names with Emma or Brynn.

Unpopular opinion, I actually don’t hate it. Faye isn’t as common but I find the middle names to be classic but not overused like Eloise (as an example, I have a recent hatred for this name it’s SO PLAYED OUT)

I think it’s quite pretty and very feminine. Emma is so common, Asher is pretty up there in popularity, Rueben feels very dated and like, 90s but I’ve never liked the name. Faye Dorothea Beth feels very classic but it has a delicacy to it. And don’t come
For me, I’m not a fan over here or anything I just think the name is very cute.

Faye is fine imo, maybe a bit boring, but it's fine. But Beth is such a terrible non-name sort of name, since it's typically short for something else (Elizabeth or Bethany) and it doesn't flow well with Dorothea. I know not everyone cares about name flow, but Brynn Caroline actually sounded nice when said together. Emma Brynn Grace is a bit clunky, but sure, they were still neck-deep in mourning. Asher David Patrick and Reuben Michael James sound like word salad when said in full instead of actual names of a pair of individuals.

Kinda off subject but I don't think Faye was conceived naturally. I think she wanted people to think she was part of some amazing miraculous miracle... I don't even think Rachelle does the deed very often since they found out there's about a 0% chance of justin knocking her up

I also think Emma and even the boys (including her beloved Asher) are going to be pushed to the side and the "miracle" baby will live in the spotlight

Tangentially related, but if Faye really was an against-all-odds miracle, how pissed do you think Alex Conge is right now? She's got to be losing her mind over Rash having 3 living IVF kids, 2 of which are twin boys, and a free sex baby.

I’ve never believed Faye was conceived naturally. And I believe in miracles. IF Justin’s work up came back normal I might have changed my mind. I know it only takes one good swimmer, but Justin doesn’t have any good swimmers.

IMO It was done for views. The views were tanking before the “miracle” announcement.

[Dani_465]

Faye is ok, the rest is blah.

[saltybitters]

Don't crucify me, but I think Faye actually was a one-in-a-million surprise. Rash and Justin just don't seem to be able to make cute IVF babies, so the fact that Faye is actually pretty precious leads me to believe that she was the odd one out, conception-wise
