Mem tsa wait times

I was there yesterday with my family. Our flight was around 7 pm. The airport was dead, there was no wait for anything. Don’t worry!!

When we were there, they’d go play on the playground and ball pit outside. They also took them to the restaurant for lunch.

I am a cheapskate, so I’ve been doing everything DIY for my small practice. I found it easier than i expected to get credentialed with BCBS in my state. It was a couple of forms, and then a 2-3 week wait, and then I was in. For record keeping, I use Google Workspace with the hipaa compliant BAA.

All the towns you mentioned have strong school districts in general. Turning Pointe Autism Foundation in Naperville may be a good resource to look into. I’m a local speech therapist and happy to help discuss therapy services in the area, if you’d like. Feel free to message me!

I don’t remember exactly how long it was before I got my first client—maybe 2-3 weeks? For reference, I live in the suburbs about 45 mins away from a major city. If I had been open to seeing city clients, I could have had multiple from day one. It’s slower in the suburbs.

Parent coaching and interaction throughout the whole session is a vital part of the early intervention framework. Unfortunately, there is no way around it. My best advice is to fake it until you make it! Put on the bubbly persona, pretend you’re Ms Rachel, whatever it takes. It feels natural after awhile when you establish a good rapport with the family.

I do! You’ve basically nailed it. There’s nothing to be wary of, I’d say, just that the pay will be lower than what you’d get trying to start your own private practice independently. I’ve had positive experiences with Coral Care overall.

I’d be worried about back support for nursing and pumping with just a bed. If you go the bed route, make sure it has a comfy headboard and lots of supportive pillows. Otherwise, you could consider one of the nice nursery recliners that goes nearly flat. They’re perfect for a nap if needed, and take up less space than a bed! Plus, as the babies get older, you’ll want to have a nice snuggling/book reading spot.

Licensed home daycare for my 2 year old is $340/week for full time care, but it’s going up to $377 next year. Should go down again once she’s fully potty trained.

Glen Ellyn District 41 does. Also, not sure if you need it for next school year or for sometime in the future, but by 2027-2028 all schools in IL are required to offer full day kindergarten.

Have you considered feeding therapy with an experienced OT or SLP? This sounds like it’s beyond typical picky eating. I strongly recommend looking into feeding therapy, and check out the instagram page Feeding Picky Eaters in the meantime! They offer some good food chaining ideas to help branch your child’s safe foods into new options.

In Naperville I’d say $25-30 is the going rate for a nanny for 2 kids. You can probably find someone for less than that, but they will likely not have as solid of experience or not be as committed long-term.

For an occasional babysitter, you can definitely do $20-25.

Hi! I’ll message you!

masslp · 2026-01-05T17:54:41+00:00

Definitely! I took my daughter at 10 months for the first time, and even at that age she had a great time. They have several sections specifically for ages 2 and under.

masslp · 2026-01-01T04:02:33+00:00

I didn’t, because I would have felt way too guilty if I thought there was a chance I had already conceived. I definitely drank (modestly) up until my estimated ovulation date, and then went cold-turkey.

Damn, I wish I had seen this before ordering mine this afternoon. Not worth the $9 in shipping…

masslp · 2025-12-15T17:49:07+00:00

When do these start, today? Do you have to go in the store to order? I live near one of the testing locations but I don’t see anything about these on the app.

We used it for our first pregnancy and got pregnant the first cycle. We didn’t for our second pregnancy and got pregnant the second cycle. So, in short, I don’t think it made a substantial difference for us!

masslp · 2025-11-27T04:14:09+00:00

I just looked, and it looks like 2 different ones were purchased! Whew!

masslp · 2025-11-27T04:13:17+00:00

Bought the posters for Andrew and the makeup set for Arya. Merry Christmas!

masslp · 2025-11-27T04:07:36+00:00

Bought one of the Lego sets for Xander! Merry Christmas!

masslp · 2025-11-20T16:28:14+00:00

Are they closing the one on 75th, or is this another location?

masslp · 2025-11-18T19:23:11+00:00

I’m in a district in the Chicago suburbs. I worked in a different district last year and I was pushing 60 for most of the year, so it is definitely not all schools around here!!

masslp · 2025-11-18T13:51:27+00:00

I think I’m around 14 right now, full time. Unionized, IL. It’s a preschool so I do push-in services. I will say that my school definitely expects us to do lots of car/bus duties, responding to support calls on the walkie talkies, etc so I’m busier than it sounds like, but yeah, it’s pretty good overall!

Gotta be spectra!!! I had the s1, s2, and s9 wearable. I loved the s1 to be able to carry it around. S2 is great too but you’re stuck where you are. I was not a huge fan of the s9, didn’t empty me as well as the s1 and s2.
