Angie recalls counting the hours between tears and the pretzel that broke the camel’s back, while Julie explains how the monotony of early motherhood made her morose. In happy news, Angie’s stolen stroller miraculously reappears and Julie’s closet ghost proves friendly. Both moms have no clue that something was happening with the audio while recording this episode, so they'd like to apologize for the crackling sound!
