This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re officially in the last month of pregnancy (HOW did that happen?!) and yes I was emotional Monday about transitioning from a family of 3 to 4… and I’m even more emotional now (sorry HORMONES).
We talk about what this transition actually feels like, how we’re trying to soak up this final stretch before baby #2 arrives, and a concept I’ve been hearing a lot lately: the “last of the firsts.” We also share some toddler “spring break” ideas that have been keeping us entertained this week.
Then we get into a few real-life updates: where things stand with hit-and-run gate, our current family car situation (and thoughts on the Wagoneer), and wrapping up the buckle fracture saga - how we navigated a toddler in a splint for 3 weeks and what we learned from the experience, including a breakdown of what a trip to the ER ACTUALLY costs.
We’re also apparently “pop culture-ists” now (as Harrison calls it): Oscars takes, Kate Hudson’s family tree, and our (read: Harrison’s) latest Southern Charm thoughts.
We wrap with a conversation on screen time for toddlers (different perspectives) and Bicker of the Week: communication styles around cleaning - because apparently “clean” means very different things depending on who you ask.
LOVE YOU GUYS. Thanks for listening!!!
