Pay and send her. We have to give 2 weeks notice to withdraw and then would have to pay enrollment fee again, do I doubt you would come out ahead if you pull her.

I would do it in your situation but def get an inspection before you decide. Inspection is not required for a mortgage, usually just need an appraisal for that.
I have bought 2 houses and then recently re-fi our house. I always spent more time with the banker than i did my REA bc it was the constant emails of what they needed for the mortgage.
Thanks everyone. My insurance doesn’t cover anything so weI can go in whatever direction we feel is right. My RE did mention trying an IUI first before IVF though.
We did IUI for our first and second bc insurance covered it. With my low AMH the second time around, I would have skipped straight to IVF if insurance didnt pay anything. Just my two cents. IUIs are cheaper but they still add up (cash price at my clinic is $1600-$2100 plus meds. I needed a lot of meds, I would have spent over $1k each cycle for IUIs).
We ultimately needed IVF the second time around bc of my low AMH. Luckily we got a free IVF study. Definitely check with your clinic to see if they have any studies going on that you might qualify for.
Your FSH is high and you AMH is low. I had similar numbers when I was tested. I had low ovarian reserve.
So did you end up doing IVF? I’m new to all of this. I have an SHG tomorrow. Then I’ll meet with my doctor.
My AMH was around 1.05 I think at age 33? We had to do ivf (trued iui 4 times before we went to ivf tho). Iui worked for me at age 30 but my amh was normal (4.5?)then. I would definitely skip to ivf if cost is a factor for you or if insurance covers it
I've got an almost 2 week old and am in HARD for Cara.
It's still early days for us (so just practicing and adjusting) but we're laying a good foundation and avoiding developing bad habits right from the start.
I've had 2 friends highly recommend her so the additional raves here give me hope for sleep in my future!
It will absolutely pay off. We started at 2 weeks as well for nights and 7 weeks for naps. He is such an incredible sleeper. I haven’t felt sleep deprived at all since he was under 2 months old.
Can you tell me what you start doing at 2weeks old? I’m due with my second soon....
starryfish I’m hopeful that organizations like the YMCA will step in and do year round camps for those families. And companies should be made to offer unlimited sick leave (with doctors note).
I’m concerned about the families that need school and can’t afford the Y or another program as well

I really think the gov needs to step in and address all families that can’t virtual teach their kids Bc they are essential and can’t stay home with their kids. Also what about the families that can’t afford to be out of work for 2 weeks if their kid test positive? Can they have a “positive” class or safe space they can go to? I feel like if they don’t address this, it’s going to cause problems Bc you know some families will have no choice but to send their sick or exposed kid to school.
1. DS and DD get the two “real” bedrooms. 2. You move all your stuff to the basement and set up your/your husbands room in there. 3. Buy a nice daybed for the sitting room and have it be your sleeping space. You can put up shelving if you want it more “room” like or not if the daybed looks good enough. You could also do a modular sectional that could function as a bed or a sitting space. Heck, put a loft bed in if it brings you joy and allows for a sitting space. 4. As your kids age, you may get more comfortable with the basement. Or you may not. The kids may decide to share or other solutions may arise. I get hung up on the perfect solution a lot when the good enough for now will suffice.
I say this as someone who is desperate for my “own” space right now.
I think this is the best idea considering how difficult your DH is being on this
I recently lost my MIL and find myself thinking about all the things that used to annoy me for no real reason at all, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it's entirely innocent and her way of responding positively. Like someone else said, I think it's odd phrasing but an attempt to say you're doing a good job and how nice it is you're doing whatever it is you're doing. In no way do I think she thinks you're doing those things for her.
starryfish, I hear you! My SIL ignores most of my texts, which I think is pretty rude, but now my husband and I just laugh about that, too. Still rude, mind you, but no longer getting me down. It's taken me a long time to reach this mindset. lol
I’m sorry for your loss.
Yea I’m mostly over it, I just send them less pics Bc of it. I send more to my family and mi Mil/sil who are amazing!
One of my DDs playmates is a boy and loves playing with dolls and babies. I will have no problem if my DS likes to play with dolls, DDs stuff (which I imagine he will), pink, etc.
thanks all. I dont know WHY I think white is girly. We have white bedroom furniture and my DH doesnt care lol.
For right now I think i might just buy the dresser and wait on the bed. The crib we are using from DD is white, so I think white will be good. I LOVE white :-)
Right? Let's stop assigning gender to colors. White is a neutral color and if you like it, order it. Your kid will not care until they are a tween at the earliest, and likely your furniture from Ikea will not last that long. (I don't say that to be snarky, I say that as someone whose entire home is ikea, lol)
we have several ikea hemnes dressers and they are 6+ years old and still going strong!
Thanks for the tips. I think my exasperation comes from the fact that she was totally fine to be in her crib awake. Now because she can walk up to the door it's total melt down. I think we'll give CIO another try on Friday night. I can handle the crying its the banging on the door that gets a little hard to hear. Ugh, why is sleep so hard!
I'd go sit on the patio with a glass of wine. Bring the monitor and leave the sound off. That's the only way I got through CIO sessions without losing my mind.
Working on baby boys nursery that will transition to his big boy room. I am having to buy new furniture, so want to buy something that lasts him for several years. I am buying the Hemnes Dresser (LOVE this one sooo much) and the bed from IKEA that I want only comes in dark brown/black or white. I LOVE white (our style is beachy) but I feel like it trends girly? Will it last him? Should I stick with the dark brown?
I work in aerospace and this is not new. Astronauts are always quarantined before flights to reduce chance of being exposed to any sickness.
Just a question.....do you know if all astronauts also get their appendix removed before the can go to space? When I had an appendicitis the surgeon told me that. I have never known if he was just making stuff up.
i have never heard that before! i could ask a coworker who works with astronauts if thats true. I know that if they have kidney stones or signs of kidney stones, that does disqualify them.
A lot of essential professsions require you choose and lock in vaca a year in advance (it blows)...assuming your area is still hard hit when you hit your time off will they let you take it and pay OT so they're still fully staffed? FWP but it sucks for families who won't be able to travel either, we don't want to use our time (if we even can) just to stay home. Maybe some people will save on summer daycare or use it as a mental health break, but I assume a lot of folks would want the chance to move it if they can.
This is my sister who is a doctor and now she can’t leave the state for TBD months. Her vacation week was this werk and we were supposed to be at the beach. Super sucks Bc I won’t see her for a while (I live in the state next door) and she won’t get another vacation week
I don't know that the not touching families is new. A friend of a friend was an astronaut in the last few years and he showed pictures of him talking to his family behind glass as part of pre-launch quarantine.
