I was tricked into naming my daughter ‘Libelle’ by my husband. Should I be mad?

My husband has just revealed to me that our daughter’s name ‘Libelle’ does not mean ‘precious’ like he told me 3 years ago.. ..it actually means DRAGONFLY ?? He’s been laughing about it all day but I am fuming. I love the name but I am so tempted to change it before she starts school. Thoughts???

Birth options

First baby was breech (they missed it completely) and large (they also didn't know that). I had a cesarean. I know it's such early days but I'm already stressing slightly over the cesarean vs VBAC option. Does anyone with older kids have any experience or thought about any of this?

Dye stealer🥹🤞🏼✨🌈

Think we got the start of/a dye stealer today at 4wk +4 🥹 Also a bit scared as the line progression has been helping with reassurance after a previous loss but I know once I get that 3+ on the CB weeks test I won’t be able to use that anymore….🙈 Going to do that final one on Thursday when I’m 5+1🤞🏼✨🌈

Contractions

I was having pretty consistent contractions in the middle of the night last night, they were so consistent the app I was using to time them told me to get ready to head to the hospital or contact my doctor. Well then they just stopped and I’m so upset because I just want to be done. Has this happened to anyone else?
