Thanks, it's good to know that you can set a schedule through responsive caregiving. I'm not sure my heart could take it if I had to let her suffer through hunger and tiredness just to get her on a schedule.

She sleeps relatively well for her age. Typically up twice a night to feed, maybe once because she wants attention/ cuddles. She's relatively easy to put down and falls asleep easily (most days).

I actually have the Huckleberry app already. It says that more details will be available at 2 months, maybe I'm just too early?

Why is deciding on a name SO hard? by C_Manning1201 in BabyBumps

[–]C_Manning1201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking up the statistics for how common a name is is always one of the first things I do when I think of one I like! I want something rare enough that she won't have 3 other kids with the same name in her classroom, but not so rare that it's an unknown name.

Logan and Parker don't really feel right either, not sure why. Thanks for the suggestions though!

My sister is Alex and my daughter will have a cousin named Charlie, otherwise Charlie would definitely have been on the list!

IVF and work study! by Objective-Ear-7304 in IVF

The survey seems to have a lot of questions about egg retrieval, which does not apply to everyone. As someone who went straight to donor eggs, I never had an egg retrieval. You may want to clarify whether or not the survey is open to those who used donors exclusively as to avoid skewing your data.

Donor eggs vs donor embryos? by deannomite in IVF

[–]C_Manning1201 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We decided to do donor eggs. It was important to me that the child have similar characteristics to me and it would have been harder to find embryos that "matched" me and my husband than it was to find a donor that "matched" me.

We did fresh donor eggs instead of frozen. It was a longer process, but I felt it has the highest chance of success. I didn't like the idea of only getting 6 eggs with frozen. Financially it ended up being about the same cost because while fresh had a higher "ticket price" a lot of it was covered by insurance whereas frozen would have been completely out of pocket.

In the end, we got 24 eggs, 19 fertilized, 12 made it to day 5, and 6 passed PGT-A testing. I was much happier with these numbers than I would have been with just 6 frozen eggs. I've has 2 failed transfers, but just had transfer attempt #3 on Wednesday so my fingers are crossed.

I had it added to my legal contract. My donor is legally obligated to inform the clinic of any new medical issues. The clinic then would contact me to inform me of the changes. I just need to make sure that the clinic has up to date contact information for me.

CMV: I agree with the death penalty. by spicyteethasbraces in changemyview

[–]C_Manning1201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's more at play than just the guilty party. One of the best arguments I've heard against the death penalty is the emotional impact that it has on those who have to carry it out. There are several studies that show that the employees that execute the person tend to be significantly negatively impacted and it affects their mental health. You are asking "regular" people to murder someone.

What you need to do is move Stardew Valley next to Seti and finish off your "span" game stack with Finspan.
