Meet The Holifields

We continue in episode 4 finding out that Krissie is starting to nest and has been spending way too much time on Pinterest trying to figure out ways to get the entire family organized. We discuss the "command center" that Krissie is setting up in the kitchen which include a calendar and chore charts for the kids. We also talk about how great structure and routine has been for the 3 kids.

Sometimes I forget you're pregnant. Why aren't you eating more ice cream? Blended families are becoming more mainstream. How can dad's feel included during a pregnancy? There are some interesting pregnancy simulators that we take a look at, like the FIBO bracelet and the Empathy Belly for expectant dads. Krissie offers suggestions for dad's to feel some pregnancy pains. Do any women really love being pregnant? Do women feel like they need to keep up the appearance of being happy during pregnancy when it's hard? Will having a baby really ruin your life? Krissie thinks women like to have baby girls so they can play dress up.

Today we tackle the difficulty of getting married while being pregnant. Pregnancy brain is real. Are women totally different people when they are pregnant? At what point can you be considered a dad? Baby's suck your brains. Being pregnant sucks. What happened when we found out we were pregnant? Are we too old to have a kid? How we broke the news to our families. How many kids should we have? Does it matter if it's a girl or a boy? Sibling disappointment to having a girl. When do you get over being embarrassed by buying tampons? When should we give this kid "the talk"?

Meet Chris and Krissie. Krissie has 3 kids. Chris has a cat. These two are combining families and adding a new kid to the mix! This is their journey of blending families, adding to it and learning along the way. Do women worry about being as beautiful to their significant other after having a baby? The anticipation of having a baby can create feelings of being overwhelmed constantly. What happens when you go from a singe life to a family of five with one more on the way?
