Can you kick your crazy mother in law out ? Do you get a prize for pooping while you push?  Will baby #2 come faster than the first time? What is a high risk pregnancy? Why should you have pre-nantal screening?Are white babies really the ugliest ? We have true stories from the delivery room, the answers to the questions you asked on facebook , and of course lots of laughs. This episode is chuck full of facts, science and ridiculousness. My sister in law is a gem, and not just because she is from the gem state. Hardy har har.. she is amazing and experienced. I hope she encouraged you to research and ask your Dr directly about the topics we went over today. As always consult your DR and we will post more info on ACOG's products and links to his CD at a later date.   

What in the world is Criss-Cross Applesauce? Baby Billy, Andy, and Jarrett join Mollie in the studio and discuss what you can and cannot say in front of your kids, what exactly are you supposed to tell your kids to call their "pee pee's," and HOW do you keep your kids from sleeping in the bed with you. Is Andy a murderer? Has Mollie been banned from Target? Jarrett survives taking his three-year-old daughter potty in the men's room. AND did his daughter cuss in the pizza shop? What to say, what not to say, and how to handle it all with humor.

Newly impregnated and mom to a toddler, work-from-home mom Jenny V. sits down with Mollie and Sherry to discuss her pregnancy symptoms and what it is like to care for a toddler when you really want to nap. Dietitian Sherry Berg weighs in on what Jenny V. can and cannot eat and what will help with fatigue and nausea. Baby horoscopes, the hairy contestants on Survivor, best books and bikes for babies, this episode is jam-packed with pointers and advice. Did Mollie's energy affect Bill's diaper changes? Did Bill tell Mollie, "Bye Bye?" Will Marty enable the ladies to gain 600 pounds? And what is it REALLY like to be pregnant the second time around?  This episode is equal parts hilarious and informative.

Mollie’s husband Jon regretfully joins Mollie’s show to discuss flying across the country with a baby, his love language in marriage, how to have sex at your in-laws', and all the amazing plans he has when she dies. Marty’s lover Claire confesses that Marty’s shit does not stink, AND that there is a CLASS for grandparents to refresh them on how to care for their grandbaby. Does eating cat shit make dogs live longer? Does Virgin Airlines make you horny? How do you FAIL at watching your kid at other people’s houses that are NOT child-proofed? Marty, Claire, Jon, and Mollie keep you laughing while answering all these questions. Spoiler alert: Bill takes his first steps at Grandma's!

The new moms are exhausted and punchy. Mollie sits with Jenny and Edith and confesses her baby’s latest developmental leap and everyone asking “is he walking?” has put her over the edge. The women talk about how to navigate unsolicited comments and questions from strangers with humor. The girls discuss the trials and tribulations of being “older moms”. Mollie admits she cussed out her one-year-old. Edith asks how to have a good sex life after the baby and talks about all the bald white babies at her mommy and me groups. Swallowing pennies, going potty in public with your baby, stopping breastfeeding--new mom shit, raw, candid, uncensored, and honest.

Notes: Man was I pissed during this show! Sorry for the F bombs folks, I was just really over it. I know not to let the leaps and my insecurities from other people's comments piss me off so much. We are in a much better place now.

Did we sound like June Cleaver talkin’ about meeting our husband’s sexual needs? Maybe a little. Oh well, June and Ward had a pretty rockin’marriage. If you know anything about men, then you know they are pretty simple. Feed them, F*ck them, and tell them they are awesome weekly and they will do whatever you want. We love our husbands, and unless you have a medical condition and your husband's a sexual deviant, try giving him a little lovin’ every week and everyone will be in a better mood. Sex is like exercising: you might not want to do it, but if you do it every week you will be a in a better mood and you will feel better once you start.

Mollie, Andy, and Jarrett sit down and talk honestly about LOW T and how role reversals in marriage work. Is it the same when mom works and dad stays home? Jarrett talks about being a stay-at-home dad. Mollie speaks candidly about her husband’s journey of readjustments after the Iraq war. Do fathers have LOW T? Andy admits he caught low T off a toilet in West Hollywood. Do “sammiches” make moms horny?

Notes:  Here is the article I mentioned: http://healthland.time.com/2011/09/13/why-do-dads-have-lower-levels-of-testosterone/ If you are a wife of a war veteran and wish to contact me privately about adjustment issues in your home and how you can best support your spouse, please submit your question privately through “ask Mollie”. I also want to comment that for some families it works for the dad to stay home and the mom work away from the house. It did not work for me and Jon, and it did not work for Jarrett and his wife. It also did not work for me to be a 100% stay-at-home mom, but I will get to that in future episodes.

Mollie had a serious case of the mom ass. She gained 42 pounds when she was pregnant. She sits (on her once-fat ass) with fashion expert Jennifer Workman and dietician Sherry Berg to talk about how to look your best when you are postpartum and what to do and eat to help you take the weight off. How long does it take to lose the weight? Will nursing help? Secretive eating, food journals, cravings and yes, more IBS.

Notes: I am 14 months post baby and down to nursing just once or twice a day and my weight is at my comfort level. Do I need to tone more? Yes. Do I need to eat better? Yes. Is my body back to wear it was before? NO. Even though I am only 4 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight, my body shape has changed. A certain weight does not always equal a certain health status. I realize that I may look “thin” right now, but I would not say I am at my healthy best. I need to eat better. Sometimes it can be just as unhealthy to be thin as it is to be unhealthy and be overweight. I am going to take Sherry’s advice and eat better and make a list of things to eat in a week. And I will take Jenny’s advice and toss out anything ORANGE.

What do Stephen King, Party City, and birth control all have in common? Nothing, but we manage to cram all of it in this episode. Sherry, Paula, and Mollie discuss celebrity sightings, the people who buy balloons on a Tuesday morning, and all the different ON TREND methods of female and MALE birth control. The ladies will give the answers to the important questions like, do you read to your baby enough?

Notes: The book I quoted is “The Tipping Point “ by Malcolm Gladwell. He writes about the co-creator of the birth control pill, Gregory Pincus. It’s a good read. Also check out this article
