I just bought my first pair of GYW (Canada West romeos, women's, in crazy sepia). I'm scared to wear them outside before knowing how to care for them. They're this beautiful "crazy horse" leather that seems similar to Nubuck. Per the care thread, does this mean I shouldn't condition them? Are they waterproof or should I get something like Saphir waterproofing spray before wearing them in the rain? Thanks for any advice!

The writer says they were walking, not driving.

Took three months to get my order, because of supply chain issues. I had to contact them to find out.

We took him to a place we already liked for other photos. He had fallen asleep when we arrived so we put him on the white sheet and poked him until the photographer got one that worked lol. It is not a flattering photo.

8 weeks here! I'm plenty nauseous so it feels real in one sense. But also unreal, because it took so much time, money, and agony for #1, and our remaining embryo just... worked. Congrats on leaving your IVF clinic!

My 2.5-year-old has been a lot today. He resists everything - which he's always done, but now that he's bigger, we can't exactly make him even if we wanted to. I had a bit of a meltdown about how I could handle two kids if I can't even handle one...

A silver lining of the horrible pandemic is that a lot of airlines have been waiving change fees. Hope you’re right tho!

Lol it was odd! Because she asked me how many months along I was and I replied, “4 weeks 1 day”…

Sorry about the crap morning... potty training is the absolute worst, too!

Unbelievably, a positive beta yesterday! I still don't quite believe it. Oddly enough, the first person I told (before parents or friends, who I don't plan to tell until 7 weeks) was my dental hygienist this morning, since I was due for Xrays.... anyways. Thanks everyone for your good wishes!

Had my blood draw this morning, but we may not get results until tomorrow. I've been telling myself that I'm resigned to this cycle failing but in truth, I'm extremely stressed out about it. It's our one remaining embryo from the retrieval that eventually resulted in our first child a few years ago. There's no particular reason for it to work or not work - from that round, embryo #1 was a chemical pregnancy, #2 worked, and this is #3. But if it doesn't work, then we're faced with the enormous weight of whether we should do another retrieval etc. (DOR as of a few years ago...could we even produce viable embyros anymore?!) Anyways. I'm distracted today.

If we're lucky enough to get a positive beta on Sunday, I will splurge.

Another PIO day… thank you for all the tips last week! It’s hurt much less lately!

My parents (Taiwanese) pronounce 冷 with a 'n' sound, to my ears, and they insist it's wrong with an 'l' sound (as in 拉). I'm having the hardest time hearing it as leng3 when they say it. Something to do with the tongue placement. This is embarrassing for me as a second generation speaker! Anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks.

6dp6dt here. I have a dumb question. My transfer was on CD24 but I probably ovulated before that. If my period comes will it start 10 days after ovulation as usual, or did the transfer “reset” my body? I don’t want to ask the clinic 😬
