Successful IVF parent here: it is a difficult, trying process but the reward is amazing! I tell our child that they were wanted so badly that we had to do some crazy things, but it worked.

Best of luck to you!

Take more pictures and videos than you think you should. Document everything, especially the mundane. You will never regret taking a video or photo. I have a 16 year old and time flies so fast, but we look back at the past with fondness. My wife and I were smugly talking (to each other, never brag to other parents) about how our son didn’t have tantrums, until I found a video of him having one. You are so sleep deprived that you will forget a lot, but you can rely on the video evidence

Swiss cheese on the sandwich. Not a Swiss sandwich

Ditto. Odd

Perfect

I see what you did there! 😂

Holy hell. I don’t remember the horrors of the last couple. I didn’t even know they HAD different ones. I thought it was always the third one

The downside is… You have to live in Florida. 😜

I would buy so many more decorations and put them up. I would even start the first week of September just for shits and giggles

Bidet. Amazing for a North American, I know RoW has had them for eons. You are so clean that a couple of squares of tp to dry off and you are golden. No more endless wiping.
