Ep 279: One Is Not the Loneliest Number Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Turns out that many of you had thoughts about being an only child and having an only child. Matt puts Doree on the spot and asks her to articulate why she wants a second kid, and then a listener articulates it much better. We also hear about going back to daycare and get lots of suggestions for games that two people can play.

Show notes

Matt's got the Sunday scaries, Henry's got a new kiddie pool, and Doree's just happy that her new external monitor works. A listener asks us for advice about whether she should start IVF during Covid times, and we reassure another listener that she can still bond with her newborn niece when this is all over. And, a bee update.

Henry's cardiologist appointment, Doree's birthday, Mother's Day, a run-in with the finance person at the fertility clinic — so many things happened this week! A listener writes in to make the mathematical case for donor embryos, and another listener who's a genetic counselor offers to help us figure out what's up with our remaining embryo.

Ep 276: Negative Nancy Drew May 11, 2020

Show notes

We check in with each other about where we're at regarding trying for another kid, and Matt gets peeved at Doree for her negative attitude. Also, Henry has (another!) rash. We hear from a couple of listeners who report possible infertility clinic upselling, and a listener responds to the FemVue signal that went out last week.
