Matt and Doree's Eggcellent Adventure: An IVF Journey

Ep 247: Keep the Routine

Season 2, Ep. 119

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.
