Hey guys, welcome back to the podcast. So I knew I could do it. Darren is back on the podcast this week,

and we are talking about Reese and basically what it was like to have an ours baby together.

So if you're new here, our ours baby, like I said, is Reese, and she's actually not a baby anymore.

She's four and a half years old. But in this episode, we're kind of going back in time and talking about

what I did to quote unquote convince Darren to have a baby with me, how the kids reacted to

the pregnancy and then, you know, now and present day, how we keep things fair between all the

kids. Spoiler alert, though, we don't keep it fair. How we navigate the holidays. We talk a little bit about that. How Reese deals when the kids go to their moms and so much more. It's a really, really good episode. Before we get started, if you've been listening to this podcast and like what you hear, I'm going to ask you to do me a little favor. Can you press pause and then go and subscribe, leave a rating and a review,

let me know what you think, and then take a screenshot and share it on social media.

Honestly, guys, this helps me spread the word about the podcast and it literally means the world

to me. So when you do that, make sure that you tag me on social media so I can thank you

personally because like I said, you know, when you tag me on social media so I can thank you personally,

because like I said, you know, when you help me spread the word, it is like gold.

All right.

That is it for the intro.

Let's dive in and hear what Darren has to say.

Hey guys, it's Jamie Scrimter here, second wife, stepmom of three and mom of one. And you're listening to my podcast, where we talk about all things motherhood, stepmotherhood, and living a kick-ass life. If you're ready for raw and real conversations and are striving to live your very best life, then you are in the right place. Every week, I'll provide you with tips and strategies

and mindset shifts to inspire you to live your own version of a kick-ass life. We'll bring you

along as I create my own. All right, hey guys. So here I am sitting here with my husband, Darren.

Guys, to give you a visual, it is 7 o'clock in the morning, and we are sitting on the floor in our basement, hoping to God that the kids don't wake up and come down and interrupt us.

How you doing, Darren? I'm good. It's early. Yeah. Is this what you wanted to be doing at seven in the morning?

Seven in the morning is not bad.

It was the volleyball drop off at 6.30 that was early.
