0:00.0	Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura.
0:05.6	On this week's episode, we have our weekly check-ins.
0:08.1	We have our special segment, Stump the Mom, where we grill each other with trivia about everything from lion sex to twins with different birthdays and more.
0:17.0	And we wrap it up with our weekly BFPs and BFNs.
0:20.2	Let's get started.
0:22.5	Hi, welcome to episode 120. Hey, Laura. Hey, Shana. How are you? Good. How are you doing?
0:28.1	How old is everything in your life? Except, Corey, we don't care too much about that.
0:32.3	Kidding, Corey, we love you. Corey's birthday is coming up, but yeah, I don't think he wants me to disclose on the
0:39.5	podcast. Yeah, so with the pregnancy, I'm 19 weeks now. And the kind of exciting thing this
0:47.3	week is that, well, actually, it's been an exciting wing sort of altogether, but I think the
0:51.6	emotionally exciting thing is that Corey now can feel the kicks and
0:56.4	rolls. Oh my God. That's so fun. Which is so early. Yes. Yes. Well, you don't have that big
1:05.7	old placenta in the way blocking all the movement. Yeah. It's amazing how different it is this time. Like,

1:18.0	stretched out. So he's like, there's lots more room in there for the baby to move. So yeah,
1:25.6	but I realized I was sort of, I've been sort of keeping my hand on my stomach as I've been feeling kicks and stuff to see like, oh, maybe, you know, we can start to feel it externally. And this week, I was like, oh, yeah, totally. So one night at bedtime, which is when I tend to feel the most kicks, I was like, oh, I think if you put your hand right here, you'll feel something. And he definitely
1:44.2	felt something. So that's exciting. That's so sweet. It's all bringing me back to when I was
1:50.8	pregnant and feeling the kicks. Oh, it's something you just forget so quickly after having
1:56.2	the baby. And then it's on the outside kicking you. Yeah. Like When I really think about it, it was just such a
2:02.1	sweet time because that really was the first time I connected with the baby once you feel it.
2:07.0	It feels so real. It does. I have to say that I still have trouble like connecting it. I know I've
2:13.0	talked about this a bunch. I don't want to belabor the point. But like I have a mental block.
