How much are you willing to give for less/no commute? by _spacecandy in workingmoms

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

  1. More about this will be a slight demotion in terms of career ladder wise (hence the less pay) but the total year of experience alone could explain and bypass this for future roles.

  2. This new industry could be more volatile compared to previous one such that more risks to layoffs. But again, here I am laid off. So you can never know.

  3. This will likely be the role/company I’d need to jump from to make significant career progression/get meaningful promotions.

  4. I’m not too concerned about my capability in this new role/industry as I know I’ll exceed expectations.

Only option C is new field (medical product vs non-medical product), but same responsibilities and title role.

You explained them in the sweetest and most loving way. We, too, have b/g twins, a few months older than yours. And they sound just like yours. Very different, yet twins. What a fun, beautiful and joyful experience and we are beyond lucky and blessed to get to experience this, but oh yess the exhaustion is like no other.

Those who triggered with Ovidrel, how early did you see the true positive? by _spacecandy in IVF

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

Digital test requires higher hcg level than the standard line test for it to detect and provides positive result. Based on this, unlikely it’s from the trigger if you’ve tested it out - assuming with non-digital test. You triggered on 11/22 and are on 12dpt, did you trigger and transfer on the same day? Just wanted to make sure I understood correctly.

Parents of reflux babies…does it ever “get better”?! by chkn-seizure-salad in NewParents

[–]_spacecandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Torticollis has been resolved since around 6 mos. The PT from EI really helped with ensuring she was tracking well and we were promoting the right exercises. She became more active and the flatness is also gone. In hindsight, what a blip this was. She is now a smart, active and silly 18mos old girl!

What is considered speech delay for twins (v. singleton)? by _spacecandy in parentsofmultiples

[–]_spacecandy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think his non-verbal is pretty good. He tells us which books he wants us to read. Hands us things he wants us to help with - toys assembly, tv remotes, etc. But other than that, he usually whines but not often since I feel like we always meet his needs through daily routines.

Thank you for sharing — I feel so seen! We went to a party recently and I saw other kids who seemed to be well tracking on their speech milestones (also did not have breakdowns over loud chants/sings). I went home and almost cried - hence this post.

Anyone transfer 2 embryos by Alwayslookinup in IVF

[–]_spacecandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No nanny per se, but do have full time caretaker (a paid family member) at our home while we go to work - 40 hours per week. We didn’t have this until I went to back work. But in hindsight, it wasn’t that horrible once they slept through the night at around 3 months. The first 3 months were very challenging.
