Summary

As some of you know, Nellie and Bari are having another baby—any moment now—maybe even by the time this podcast is published! Going from one kid to two is no small challenge, so we’re doing something a little different on the podcast today. In an attempt to quell the nerves, we decided to call up some of our favorite parents to give Nellie and Bari advice before they become a family of four. We ask Bethany Mandel about the importance of birth order; Elon Gold about how to protect your marriage as your family expands; Amy and Lou Weiss (yes, those Weisses) about the best part of having kids; and Mary Katharine Ham about how they should prepare for raising a boy in a household of girls. Bari and Nellie learned a lot of parenting wisdom making this episode, and we think you will too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:32.0	This is honestly, and today I am very excited to be joined by the
0:35.9	one the only my wife Nellie Bowles. Say hi now. Hi. Well she's here with me today because we're having a baby and by we I mean
0:46.2	she because there's not going to be any stolen ballot here and it's like any day now.
0:51.0	Like any day like it could be right now during this recording not that we
0:55.1	have a tub here ready to do a water birth and it's not only that we're having a
0:59.2	baby it's that we're having another baby and if I'm honest I'm nervous about what life is going to look like
1:07.2	going from one kid to two kids because every parent I trust tells me that
1:11.4	that's actually the transition. So we thought we would do
1:14.7	something kind of special today which is call the experts and by experts we
1:19.4	don't mean the people cited in the medical journals or the people with names on the cover of parenting
1:23.8	books. We mean our favorite parents, people that we look up to, to give us some
1:28.4	advice before we become a family of four. The thing I keep thinking about is this Instagram reel that I see all the time that
1:35.8	says that when a child under the age of three gets a new sibling it is as dramatic
