 Hi all, I was thinking about having Lasik surgery this
 summer. Pros? Cons? Any docs to recommend? I'm a bit
 hesitant so any input will be much appreciated.Thanks,
 Lara

 Hi Lara,Hope you and the kids are great! It's been a
 while.So, I had lasik surgery a few months after Tyler
 was born in 2004 and, honestly, I still feel like it's
 a miracle every day when I wake up and I can see
 without glasses or contacts (still better than 20/20!)!
 Being outside, playing sports and swimming is also
 amazing -- no switching out between regular glasses,
 prescriptive sunglasses, taking out contacts, etc... No
 one needs to wait up for me; I can just go!I went to
 Dr. Ella Faktorovich here in SF. I really liked the
 fact that she didn't want to have anything to do with
 performing surgery on me unless she knew it was going
 to work perfectly. I appreciated that. Also, since I
 play a lot of sports I liked seeing the photos of
 professional athletes on her wall, thanking her for
 fixing their eyes.Here's her link:

 luck with your decision! Let me know how it goes!Take
 care,Laura_________________From: lara rajninger To: San

 My husband and I used Dr. Faktorovich in 2007 and we
 are still really happy with the results. My colleague
 recommended her, but she said her eyes have regressed a
 little now that it's been over ten years since she had
 her work done. (I think that's more a comment on her
 eyeballs than Dr. Factorovich.) Try not to catch a bus
 to the first substantive measurement session (not the
 sales meeting) -- they dilate your eyes so you can't
 wear contacts, and you need to wear these huge wrap
 around plastic sunglasses under your normal glasses. 
 Everyone on the bus I caught home was sure I was some
 SF nutter!

 We've used the original Arm's Reach Co-sleeper since
 our twin girls were born. They are 12.5 weeks now and
 it is still working well. As you noted, the weight
 limit is an issue that we'll be coming up against soon,
 but it has been great for us so far.An added bonus is
 that it is fairly portable when assembled. So on the
 evenings that our night doula comes, we can easily move
 the co-sleeper out of our room. The twins have their
 bed and we have some sleep!

 This is great to read, as I had pretty much written off
 a cosleeper b/c I didn't know you could use one with
 twins. I have a friend who offered to loan me hers,
 she had a singleton though and I don't know the brand
 or anything. Is there a lot of variation in the
 different brands? Are there different sizes?

 Would highly recommend hiring someone's nanny for the
 weekend so you and your husband can get away. Even if
 all you do is stay in a hotel in town, the break will
 be very welcome. We don't have family nearby but there
 are many experienced nanny's that can take on your kids
 for a weekend and give you a break. It's not a budget
 option but if you haven't gotten away in 3-4 yrs, it
 might be worth it. Good luck.

 That's great news, James. Please don't give up on the
 system and continue on to the next round,

 http://www.sfusd.edu/en/assets/sfusd-staff/enroll/files/2012-13/AmendedForm2ndRound12-13-EN-CH-SP.pdfSpeaking
 from experience last year, things do work themselves
 out. I know and understand the stress of not having
 everything right the first time. Last year was the
 first year they implemented the new system, (and like
 when Microsoft releases a new version of their
 operating system), there were bugs. It's encouraging
 to hear that James' situation was rectified so quickly,
 so please go through the process and not give up.The
 Parents for Public Schools site also has information on
 how to proceed with the next steps, www.ppssf.org

 Kids Protection Planning is from a legal perspective
 and covers issues that parents know they need to think
 about, but are not always sure where to get accurate
 information. Cassandra will explain the simple steps
 that parents need to take to protect their loved ones.
 The Kids Protection Planning Seminar will include: * 9
 Simple Steps they must take for absolute peace of mind
 knowing that their children will be protected no matter
 what. * Why they should name guardians for their
 children now if they have not done so. * How to choose
 the right guardian. * How to protect their loved ones'
 inheritance from creditors, predators, lawsuits, and
 divorce. * How to leave a valuable legacy for their
 children that is much greater than just their financial
 wealth. Biography: Cassandra Massey is an attorney
 specializing in Estate Planning in Alameda. Cassandra
 is also a mother. Event Details & RSVP
