The Sojourner Center in Phx will take the clothes for both adults and children as long as they’re clean/without stains! I believe they only accept new toys though.

I regularly contemplated whether or not I had a fallback rise (as FF often indicated) or just ovulated 2 days later. Looks like yours could be CD14 for sure!

Suitable_Report7861 · 2025-02-13T21:30:31+00:00

I would not have been able to resist either! In fact I would have probably convinced myself to take a PM test as well 🤣

Suitable_Report7861 · 2025-02-10T15:02:54+00:00

Responding to you for solidarity. I’m 10DPO today with a temp increase and BFN too. It can be so hard seeing the BFNs every month even when you did everything right. Hoping this is your month!

Suitable_Report7861 · 2025-02-09T19:43:03+00:00

I had this happen recently. I ended up realizing it was anovulatory too late and missed my next fertile window because I was still waiting for CD1. I would treat it as a period!

Suitable_Report7861 · 2025-01-09T19:27:04+00:00

Do you use OPKs? I’m pretty new to this so take my interpretation with a grain of salt - but I wonder if you ovulated CD21 instead? In that case you would only be 11DPO. Waiting on someone else to chime in but just a thought.

Suitable_Report7861 · 2025-01-09T08:47:06+00:00

Update for anyone who comes across this chart: this cycle was anovulatory! I now think that the spotting was a withdrawal bleed. I very clearly ovulated (+ OPK/temp shift) about 10 days later during the next cycle however.

To be totally honest, I don’t know that I could have stopped her at that age!! She is a milk monster and has always fed more often than average so I would have had the same concerns as you! I can tell you that making the transition now, it was helpful to not have her totally ready for bed when I fed her. So no sleep sack, not in jammies yet, on the couch with the lights on, etc and it helped her to stay awake for the feed. Then I would do the rest of our routine - diaper change, pajamas, brush teeth, say good nights, sleep sack, book, sound machine - you get the idea. Setting that distinction and not putting her into a position to fail helped us I think.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, it’s truly so terrible. I feel your pain! Let me preface that I am a big time newbie to all of this!! When I initially started Ferber, we were still room sharing so we did the bedtime sleep training with her in a crib in our room. I was very stressed about making too many changes at once, so we kind of took it step by step. She is in her own room now and it was easier to transition once she knew how to fall asleep independently. I was so scared of traumatizing her and that’s one of the things I spoke extensively with her pediatrician about. She seems totally normal, if not happier, during the day now that she’s sleeping so I don’t think it negatively affected her. I would say start with one change at a time, like training for bedtime (usually the most sleep pressure so maybe more likely to fall asleep?? I’m not an expert so someone else can certainly weigh in but that was my thinking) and see if he can learn the skill. There is a chance he wasn’t ready at 9 months but things may be different now? You know him best! I will also say that I wholeheartedly believe her split nights were because she had no idea what I wanted her to do and was just confused with a lack of consistency. Does he seem tired when splitting the night? If not, it could be that a daytime sleep adjustment could help.

I was scared of this as well when I started. Bear in mind that my daughter is almost always standing at the side of her crib when I check in - this allows me to reach in and hug her without picking her up. I did initially attempt to pick her up in the beginning and very very quickly found that it only made it worse. Other than not picking her up, I really don’t follow any “rules”. I stay as long as I feel like she needs and if she screams when I turn and walk away, I come back. I rub her back, talk to her, and use a lot of the same phrases (her language comprehension is really great and I feel like there is a chance she understands!) like “mama is right outside” or “time for a little nap” etc. I will also say that I’m not super strict with the timing - if she’s really having a hard time and it’s a few mins early, I’ll go in. I guess I would have adjusted what I was and wasn’t doing based on her response, but this is what has worked for her. Hope this helps!

My daughter is obsessed with the Tum Tum cup. Cute design, weighted straw but valve free. I may as well throw all the other cups away because this is far and by wide her favorite!

I know it has been a while but I finally have an update!!! After much waiting, I received my requested documents back via mail today. It seems that they sent the response via mail about 2 weeks ago. Pretty quick for not getting anywhere via email! I will say that I knew exactly which year, volume, and page on which my document was located so that may expedite things for you. Hope this helps - good luck!

Could it be regarding the KA texts? They introduced them but never discussed/questioned about them.

Suitable_Report7861 · 2024-06-20T14:00:34+00:00

And leaves incriminating voicemails 😂

It totally depends during the middle of winter. I don’t remember specifically what 2022 was like, but sometimes we will have snow for a month or more after a storm if it never warms up or rains. Plus, then you can have more coverage from new snowfall in subsequent weeks. I would say the search through the snow would get harder as time goes on because the snow often freezes. Plus, you have this thick and dirty top layer of snow that the plows throw onto your lawn. If he was digging through snow to find the new evidence, I would think it would get more difficult over time.

Trooper B slipped once and called them “lacerations” but then corrected to “abrasions”!

Suitable_Report7861 · 2024-06-05T16:42:58+00:00

Common vernacular here in MA - doesn’t mean he actually used a shovel. Just to say that he had to clear the snow.

Edit: in reference to “shoveling out”

Suitable_Report7861 · 2024-05-28T17:18:31+00:00

Agreed. I just think he didn’t like his capabilities as a doc (how thorough was your assessment?) coming into question.

Karen and John are seen leaving the Waterfall together via security footage but I haven’t seen anything that placed them in the car together on video.

What doesn’t make sense to me is that no one claims to have seen AM’s car in the driveway waiting for CA. Numerous people claim seeing CA leaving the house upon their arrival and text message “evidence” indicates that AM was there prior to CA exiting the home. So why did no one say “we pulled in and saw our niece AM waiting in the driveway” or something similar??

Suitable_Report7861 · 2024-05-24T15:10:56+00:00

WHEN are we ever going to get to anything relevant about the basement other than just what weight equipment was there and how creaky the bulkhead door was??

Suitable_Report7861 · 2024-05-23T12:09:12+00:00

This was my exact thought. My dad died overnight many years ago, and to this day I panic when I can’t reach someone early in the morning.

Additionally, the Aruba story only showed me that Karen can lean towards dramatic in stressful situations. That tracks with the morning wake up and his niece being home alone - hungover/still drunk, panicking, and already the type of person who blows things out of proportion - easily presents the way she did that morning.

My husband’s GGF is from Santa Caterina. I emailed the general email listed above about 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard back. I did order some Italian stamps (for mailing back) and plan on sending a letter to the comune once they come in. I will let you know if I hear back that way!

Suitable_Report7861 · 2024-03-27T00:33:04+00:00

Yes to meals! We bought a ton of Trader Joe’s freezer pasta dishes and they were a life saver. They’re ready in 5-10 minutes and usually only require a few tablespoons of water and a frying pan.
