That seems weird because even if he is on vacation he has DeSouza backing him up and should have the answering service come on.
Ugh, gross.
I was about to say the opposite. Hotel cribs in my experience have always just been pack and plays. Bring the pack and play sheets, but not the actual P&P.
Lack of nursery is one reason I switched practices.

Read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." Your chances are highest and about the same on the day of ovulation or the day before ovulation. That's why you can do every other day. And for men with low sperm counts, every other day is more likely to work.
Sounds like you are SOL. Can your spouse/partner take time off too so baby has more time with a parent?
Most people implant 9 dpo, so after that -- maybe day 11 with a sensitive test. I would ask for another ultrasound to confirm growth if you have think you are further along than the ultrasound shows.
I would pay $15/hr for a college kid to do this.

We know of 3 families that use a friend/family member's address in our cluster to attend a MS, but they live elsewhere. The one complication that comes up is that report cards get sent to that person's address. So make sure it's someone who you trust will get you the info you need!

You can ask for a COSA, but you'll need to have a compelling reason, like the PP said.

However, if you can just find someone that lives in the Whitman cluster who is willing to let you use them as a mailing address, you won't need to prove anything.


What you are suggesting so nonchalantly is illegal.
Ugh. We started at a BH center a few years ago when they were between directors and did not have a good experience. I think if they had had a director in place it would have been much smoother. Could you talk to the Regional Director to find out when they will have someone in place?

Some Seaton, Cleveland, Garrison etc. parents have gotten a Google Group together but I don't know how to get on it.


I am in that google group and am happy to connect you (and others). You should be able to PM me through my profile.
You have to be more than .50 miles from you IB school and LESS than .50 miles from another school. If you are .50 miles from the other school, you don't get the preference - it is .49 miles or less. You can find out officially on find.myschooldc.org. You will automatically be given proximity preference if you qualify.
It definitely moved much more when school gets closer. They give people less time to decide. I got an offer from Bridges just before school started last year, and there were lots of new children all the way up until count day.
If you know you won't go to the school you enrolled in, decline the spot ASAP so they can offer it to be next person on the waitlist. Then you can enroll in the dual language school if you get in. There is no "strategy" and no benefit to staying enrolled in a school you will not attend.
Check out the Anthony Bowen YMCA and the National Capital YMCA--they may still have openings.
