| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Ernie Wasserman with Jesse Chappas from the Ultimate Health Podcast. |
| 0:08.0 | Welcome back to another Focus Friday, where we give you short bursts of information and inspiration to set your weekend off on the right foot. |
| 0:16.0 | And today's episode, we're going to be talking about the ultimate baby, which is our baby who is coming in February 2020. We're super excited. |
| 0:25.6 | And we've been referring to the new baby as tub as you may have seen on social |
| 0:30.2 | media and we're just so excited. This is something we've been wanting for a long time and it's right around the corner now. |
| 0:37.0 | So we're going to take some time today and talk about things that we did to prepare, things that happened during the first trimester, and give you |

| 1:18.3 | We kind of said, you know, we know we want a kid, we know we want to get married, |
| 1:22.2 | whatever order happens, happens. But I think as the years progressed |
| 1:25.9 | and we realized we were going to get married, we figured, okay, we're going to get married, |
| 1:29.2 | then we'll have a kid and then life kind of went so many different directions. |
| 1:33.6 | Jesse moved to Toronto. |
| 1:35.2 | Retired from chiropractic, went to the big city, |
| 1:38.4 | and we got a dog right around that time. |
