Doree's new podcast is here! In this first episode, Doree and Jo discuss the 2007 story of two A-list celebrities who went head-to-head in a heated auction for a rare Tyrannasaurus skull. And only one would emerge the winner.
That auction was only one small piece of a massive global investigation into the illegal markets where very rich folks buy and sell illegal dinosaur fossils to decorate their homes and real estate development offices. Because at the end of the day nothing conveys wealth and power like a T-Rex in your atrium.

Apologies in advance for the testiness on this ep — turns out that two days before you move out of a house you've lived in for five and a half years is a stressful time! We also hear another perspective on our mosaic dilemma and the estrogen signal goes out for a woman who wants to freeze her eggs, but estrogen gives her horrible migraines. And yet more Homestar Runner fans reveal themselves!

Matt saved Thanksgiving, but now we're worried that everyone might be getting sick — so Doree made us take a last-minute trip to the pediatric urgent care. A bunch of listeners weighed in on the eclampsia email from last week, and we also sent out the New Job, Newly Pregnant signal and the Cat and Baby signal. Plus, Matt has now been sufficiently chastised about his turkey recipe and he will never have to scramble to find it again.

Matt's had a rough day (and might have a gallbladder infection?!), while Doree is excited about going from pumping five times a day to three times a day.

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.

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.

Anyway, we have some updates from last week's doctor's appointment and Doree has entered a new, extra-fun phase that means that Matt did most of the talking on this episode. Don't let that alarm you too much, but just be aware that there are a few detours into YouTube-land. Plus we hear from people about their own experiences with fresh transfers and the egg signal goes out for a woman with herpes.

Doree and Matt had no idea they'd make it this far — while still feeling like they hadn't made it very far at all. This week they talk some more about insurance woes, and also discuss how to get back in touch with friends you stopped seeing when you were doing IVF and how to deal with all of the delays that come with IVF. And a caller has some advice for Matt about giving Doree a foot massage if she ever gets pregnant.
