Meet William Daniel Bates!

On 30th July 2024, Tiffany and Lawson Bates released the first part of their birth vlog introducing their son, William Daniel Bates, to the world. William is the couple's first child after a miscarriage in September 2023. William was born on 19th July 2024, eleven days early.

Pregnancy Announcement

The couple announced the pregnancy on 5th March 2024. With a due date of 30th July 2024, William was announced on Day 144 (20 weeks, 4 days) of pregnancy.

Gender Reveal

Tiffany and Lawson shared the gender reveal they had done much earlier in the pregnancy (Tiffany hashtagged the post with 19 weeks) on 19th May 2024. This was on Day 219 (31 Weeks, 2 days) of pregnancy.

Name Reveal

The couple released a YouTube video on 26th July 2024 sharing William's name. They said Lawson had chosen the first name and Tiffany had chosen the middle name. William is named after his father, William "Lawson" Bates, and his paternal grandfather William Gilvin "Gil" Bates Jr. His middle name was chosen in honour of his maternal grandfather, Daniel Espensen.

The video announcing William's name was released after his birth but before his birth announcement.

Effect on the Data

As a pregnancy after a loss, William's birth affects the post-loss spacing data set. Prior to William's arrival, the mean of this data set stood at 428 days and the median at 365 days. William arrived 400 days after Tiffany's 2023 miscarriage. After William's arrival, the mean stood at 426 days (-2 days) and the median at 365 days (no change).

The typical range for a post-loss spacing is now 270 - 582 days.

So What's Next? The predicted spacing for Bates-Espensen 2 is not affected by William's spacing but by their first pregnancy that sadly ended in loss. This pregnancy had an estimated spacing of 738 days after their marriage.

Taking this and multiplying it by the second child multiplier, Tiffany and Lawson's predicted second spacing is 1181 days. Assuming they still announce late, these are the predicted dates for Baby 2.

Pregnancy Announcement: 13th August 2026 Gender Reveal: 27th October 2026 Birth Date: 16th December 2026 Due Date: 27th December 2026

Congratulations to the family!

The Lower Empire

« Atlas historique Larousse » sous la direction de Georges Duby, édition revue et corrigée, 1987

by cartesdhistoire

In the 3rd and 4th centuries, the Empire faced a triple threat: to the north, the Germans, numerous, unstable, and warlike, pressed on its borders; to the east, the Sassanid Persians, victorious over the Arsacid Parthians, constituted the only organized state opposing Rome; in the south, the Saharan nomads posed the least dangerous threat. The crisis reached its peak from 256 to 269, when these enemies coordinated their attacks. However, from Claudius II (268–270) to Diocletian (284–305), the Illyrian Emperors managed to stabilize the situation, despite significant challenges (such as the Alamanni and Franks invading Gaul in 275). At times, they negotiated deals, notably with the Sassanids. In 332, the Goths from the lower Danube, defeated, agreed to an unequal alliance treaty with Constantine. In exchange for subsidies and the right to trade with Rome, they pledged to provide troops to the Emperor upon request. They remained loyal to the Constantinian dynasty thereafter, supporting Constantius II against Magnentius in 351-353 and backing the attempted usurpation of Procopius against Valens in 365.

Constantine organized the first universal council in 325 at Nicaea, bringing together bishops to achieve theological unity within Christianity. Some external bishops (Persians and Goths) attended, and Constantine, as Roman Emperor, presented himself as the natural protector of Christians worldwide.

Constantine's establishment of Constantinople as the second capital shifted the empire's center of gravity (331). Constantine's three sons succeeded him, and after several episodes of civil wars, Constantius II (337-361) emerged victorious from the conflicts. He imbued power with a hieratic, sacred, and Christian character.

However, stabilization primarily came from the reorganization of the army (stationing fixed units at the borders and maintaining a mobile reserve at the rear), leading to victories over Persians, Goths, and Franks, ensuring half a century of tranquility. This peace was reinforced thanks to the resolute character of Valentinian I (364–375).

CW: weight loss, diabetes, medical shit

So, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 8 years ago. At the time, I was close to 400lbs and knew I needed to make a change. I found an amazing doctor and was put on a medically supervised diet, which led to losing over 100 lbs. I got down to about 270 and felt better than I ever had in my adult life. Because the diet was also keto (and thus contained little sugar) my diabetes was managed and my A1C range was below even pre-diabetic levels.

But I couldn't translate it into a sustainable lifestyle, so I ended up slowly gaining it back. Today, I'm 360 lbs. I just checked my blood sugar -- after eating a fucking salad for dinner -- and it was 365 mg/dL 😳

I need to change, or I'm going to die. Like, there's no two ways about it. So, I just got prescribed Mounjaro to both help with my blood sugar and lose weight. I'm waiting for a prescription for a continuous glucose monitor to be able to know my blood sugar at all times. I'm also going back on metformin and figuring out what my lifestyle is going to look like food-wise, but it's gotta be different. It has to be.

I'm scared that I'll yo-yo in weight again, but between therapy, a nutritionist (which I need to find still), and medication I'm at least a little more hopeful than I'd otherwise be.

I want to feel good again, physically; I'm so goddamn tired all the time and I know this is a huge part of it. I also hate the way I look, but that's a separate issue, and losing weight before didn't do a lot to change that, so I'm mostly just including it here because I'd be lying if it wasn't a factor.

Either way, changes are coming. Hopefully good ones.
