dreemkin DH is pretty good about cleaning before guests. I usually have to remind him in the form of, hey will you help me with this, for cleaning up after dinner and such. I used to not ask him and I found myself getting resentful, and so started to ask for help with the things was currently working on, so that we do it together. I also ask the boys, but they are unreliable, lol.

aggiebug oh no for S! That is so sad. Hope it was a once in a while deal; that seems young to have a migraine.
kartish yikes that sounds scary. My sister has boughts of dizziness and no one can tell her why or what it is. That's a weird thing for sure; hope he recovers well!

I have been deep cleaning today for the IL's arrival. I have a question for the sahm: do you ever ask DH to clean? I'm usually in the house cleaning alone and it's overwhelming. And I know that's a big part of my job so I hardly ever ask for help but ugh...it seems like I'm mostly doing this for his family or friends that stay with us and I get kind of bitter constantly cleaning bedding, remaking bedding, and everything else. I guess I would just love for him to help and it's be over quicker but feel guilty asking...

Hi Robots. 

What is up? How is life? Please advise.

Hello hello. Life has been a bit crazy. My parents have been here this week. They are leaving tomorrow. It's been a good visit but I am really ready for some routine and structure with S. Her attitude is tanking which is fun. Looking forward to next week.

Speaking of S she had a migraine last Thursday. It was exactly like mine as a kid so I am basically 100% certain that is exactly what it was, and I am so sad that she is following in my footsteps. Hopefully they aren't a huge impact on her for a long while like me.

Hi,

I'm 32 and have been using glasses since 2007. I'm having nearsightedness. I have considered going for LASIK surgery as I came to know the following advantages:
- Painless and the recovery period is short
- Most laser eye surgery patients attain 20/20 vision or even better

I am not sure about these as I haven't discussed this with someone who has undergone surgery before. I have plans to consult this clinic doing Lasik Surgery in Boston. Would like to get advice on this treatment and your suggestions.
Any response would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ughhh I did all the necessary wrangling to take the old car seats out, flip G’s around RF for the baby, and install both seats only to find out at the very end the headrest/harness adjuster in G’s new seat is stuck or broken.

Hey, I hope you are well. Yes, it is very true that infertility is one of the hardest things to go through. I am going to share my own experience and hope that you get help from it. The clinic I am visiting I found out about them through a friend. However, I researched and made sure they were the right ones for us. I think it is really important to do that. I got my first every BFP because of the doctors who work there. Anyways, the thing that attracted me the most about them was the packages they offered. They have two a standard package and a VIP package. Both of these are highly reasonable. They come with accommodation which I thought was great. Other than this they offer programs as well. The one we opted for is called the guarantee program. According to it if one thing doesn't work out something else would. You could check them out.

I am extremely sorry to hear about your recurrent miscarriages. i can understand how painful they must have been for you. I am glad that you found yourself a supportive husband. someone who is willing to take a step with you. Surrogacy is an amazing procedure. It has a very high success rate as well. The clinic I am visiting is quite known for the process and each day I see surrogates giving birth and it is soo nice. I think for surrogacy it is really important to visit the right doctor and the clinic. A good clinic is important because a lot of guidance and legal structure is required. Whereas a good doctor will match the right surrogate to you and make sure all the things from retrieval to transfer are done safely. Good luck to you! I hope after 10 years of struggle you are able to conceive. Sending baby dust your way. If you need help choosing a clinic let me know. Keep us updated.

Firstly, I am glad that things worked out for you eventually. That must have been extremely happening for you. Congratulations! I am glad that after so many years of struggle surrogacy was the answer. Good luck for the future. I think going forward with it for the second child is not a bad idea. You should start the process because everything will time. I am in the middle of an IVF process. Things went great! I got my BFP. Now I just go for checkups to ensure things are all well. This is my first time getting a positive. I have had 5 IUI cycles previously and even one IVF that didn't work for me. I was so upset. However, we switched to a different doctor and got good news.

Backless boosters are so easy! My nephews use them in MIL’s car, so I grab them from her when I’m bringing them somewhere.
BubbleBum is an inflatable backless booster he can keep in his glove box. csftl.org/updated-bubblebum-review/

I’m keeping G harnessed but I’m right with you on feeling our kid’s ages. Where does the time go?

Praying all is well with your stepdad.

Home with the boys today. I had loose plans to go somewhere fun but my mom sent out a text that my stepdad is in the ER, and I haven't heard any news since. So my day is in holding at the moment.

This is really informative. Thank you for posting this. I think it is really important to educate one another on this issue. I remember when I was on this journey, in the beginning, I knew nothing. Everything seemed soo complicated. However, with time and experience, I had to learn. It is really important to visit a clinic that is willing to educate you and not use jargons. Good luck to all.

How are things going for you? What package did you opt for? We opted for the standard package due to several reasons. Firstly it was reasonable. Secondly they were providing accommodation facilities with it. So far things are going really well. I am hoping for the best. Good luck to you.
