You asked and we provided! This week we chat about the transition from one child to two children. Kristen discusses why she thinks this transition was particularly difficult for her, and what she is planning to do for a smoother transition to three. Talia asks a few questions about transitioning, such has how the heck you safely get multiple kids from point A to point B, and what exactly do you do with one child when you are trying to get the other child to nap! Tune in this week to hear their perspective on the transition to multiple kids.

This week we are sharing a super fun conversation we had with our friend Morgan, who is a labor & delivery nurse. She shares her birth stories with her two girls. They are drastically different experiences, and it is fun to hear her chat about it as someone who is already trained in this field. We talk about some of the struggles she had with breastfeeding her oldest, as well as her experience with postpartum OCD. She discusses how she knew something felt off, but none of the screenings for postpartum mental health were asking questions that pertained to her. We ask about things she does not love seeing as an L&D nurse, and how she advocates for her patients. We have a lot of laughs through this conversation and learned a ton.

This week we had the opportunity to chat with Lindsey Hein,  host of the podcast I'll Have Another. She is the mom of four boys, ages 4 months to six years. We dug into the chaos that is being a SAHM to 4 kiddos that close in age, while building her business. She speculates why she feels less mom guilt than other moms might. We also discuss the double standard of the praise a dad receives when parenting vs the praise a mom receives for the same parenting. The conversation is easy and funny, but we dig into how tough it is to be in the trenches with young kids close in age.
