Mauve is a color. Maeve is a Gaelic name.actuallydear wrote:Maeve was a unique name, and she's said this baby will also have a unique name.
I could see her using Lavender, but also Violet... maybe also Clementine, because it's still a colour name but not purple. Or Scarlett. Or if she's sticking with purple - Lilac. Lily for short.

I came here to see if anyone else noticed the thing about gifting the crib and changing table- what a really weird thing to say! If they feel that they are gifting the new baby Maeve's crib, maybe they should get her a new one. It just seems like this baby will not have her own identity and will not have her own "items." I'm getting concerned for this baby... I thought john and joan would be able to truly allow this baby into their hearts by now. It's very concerning and Joan's choice of words with every post and YouTube video... I just cringe and become more worried for this baby.here4thepopcorn wrote:Joan's latest IG post is making me cringe. Mainly this line: "Were we ready to gift her Maeve’s beautiful crib and changing table?"
Why does she always have to put things in such a weird way? How is using a crib and changing table that was unfortunately never used by Maeve, "gifting" it to the baby. If you already had one child, and then had another, would you call it "gifting" the crib and changing table? I don't think I have ever thought of nursery furniture in that way. I would understand not passing on a special blanket that was made for Maeve, or her stuffed foxes, but a crib that was never used? No. I don't know what Joan has been doing in therapy, but she still has a long way to go. After this much time, I wonder if a new therapist, with a fresh perspective, would be better able to help Joan recover and heal? Because like others have stated, Joan acts haunted by Maeve.
In her latest IG post comments, she replied to someone that the baby’s name means “faith”. In flower language, Violet means faith. You might have guessed it.actuallydear wrote:Maeve was a unique name, and she's said this baby will also have a unique name.

I really think you might have nailed it with this guess. It does seem like their style and it means faith. While I don't like the name Vera, It does flow well with Mae, which Joan said is the middle name - Vera Mae. Has Joan said if they are doing a name reveal or waiting until she is born?BaileyBoo12 wrote:Maybe Vera? Sounds like their style and it means Faith in pretty sure
so many ‘special’ things that she wants to keep for Maeve! Why is the new baby girl not special enough to use them also? The net tutu?! Why does that have to be kept for Maeve? Why can’t new baby have pics in it? It’s from her mother’s bachelorette party too!! And also WHY put that damn dog in the baby crib? That should be a total off limit hard NO NO! Christ 
I just have this mental image of her being out walking with the new baby and someone saying something about how cute she is, or something like that, and instead of saying thank you, Joan will launch into "She should have had a big sister" and tell them the whole story. And all they wanted to do was be polite. Like when strangers ask how you are, and they don't really want to know. They don't want you to tell them how you really feel-- they're just being polite.DreamLead wrote:This might come across as harsh but I can't sit back anymore. Joan needs to get over this loss of Maeve. It struck me weirdly when she said someone asked her if this was her first baby and she said "no my second". Like what if she's out in public after this baby is born and someone asks her that? Is she going to say it's her second? Because it's not. She will be a first time mom, this is her first living child. She is not a second-time mom. Yes she will always be a mom to Maeve, but she has never experienced being a mother to a living child. Also, why does John need to take paternity leave when they can't even afford Joan's maternity leave? Their house is a complete mess, they have no money, they don't even have a room for their baby..? Why would they rush into IVF when they're in this type of situation? I just find it really strange that it's been 3 years since Maeve has died and Joan hasn't healed at all.. the way she types her insta posts and the way she talks in her videos and constantly breaking down and crying 24/7? ?? If I didn't know their backstory I would have thought Maeve died a couple months ago or something with the way these two act.
