In this episode we talk about our 2nd and 3rd(!) pregnancies! We touch on back pain, kicks, hiccups, contractions, more SPD, more vomiting, and a little thing called coronavirus.

Please excuse our continuity error in this episode - we talk about Baby L’s anatomy scan in the intro and then as an upcoming event in our pregnancy chat - we got too excited about celebrating the positive results 🤗!

In this weeks episode we are giving an update on our kids and lives so far this fall. We talk about speech therapy, school adjustments, big sister transitions and starting solids with the littlest in our cousin crew. Sometimes these kind of updates don’t fit in with our regular format or topic so it was really fun to have an information conversation about everything we have going on!

In this episode, we talk about sleep training! We both chose to sleep train all four of our girls. So we talk about the journey with each of them, and also go over some lessons learned. Sleep is such a struggle when it comes to newborns especially so listen in as we talk about our ups and downs with sleep training, and maybe it will help you out when you are running on very little sleep with your baby!

Felicia and Molly talk about our favorite and least favorite things to do and play with little ones. From reading, play places, legos, cars, forts, and more, they talk what they love about it and what activities are best left for dad or a visiting relative.

We are talking about potty training! We detail our experiences with each of our kids and how we handled potty training each time. Every kid is different so we had a lot of lessons learned, but we ended up with three successfully potty trained kids!

Felicia and Molly celebrate 10 episodes (!) by having a “getting to know you” episode. They came up with a list of their most burning questions, that even through 14 years of friendship they don’t know about the other. Despite Felicia’s best efforts to turn it into a travel episode, they discuss deep topics like bucket list vacations, dream jobs, biggest fears, favorite gifts, and more!
