Matt and Doree's Eggcellent Adventure: An IVF Journey

We report back on the rest of our trip to Boston with Henry, and our big takeaway is: keep a baby's routine as similar to home as possible, and don't get a bathtub that's too small for your baby. Also bring a baby carrier on the plane. We also get responses to the one-testicle-after-chemo and the RIE signals, and hear advice from listeners about workaholic partners.Our voicemail: 413-461-BABYOur email: doreeandmatt@gmail.com or mattanddoree@gmail.comOur website: www.eggcellentadventure.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/eggcellentadventureThis episode is sponsored by:Bombas.

We're in Boston with Henry, who was a champion flyer on the way here so we're bracing ourselves for a hellish flight back. After a BBQ, Doree gets wistful about having old friends you can just hang out with on the weekends with no pressure. We also get updates from a couple of listeners with very early pregnancies, the "working with one ball that has been through chemo after testicular cancer” signal goes out, and after a listener asks about RIE, we get probably way too smug about some of our parenting choices. But hey, what's parenting without SOMEONE being smug? Today, it happens to be us.Our website: www.eggcellentadventure.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/eggcellentadventureOur email: doreeandmatt@gmail.com or mattanddoree@gmail.comOur phone number: 413-461-BABYOur sponsors:Bona Floor Cleaners.
