Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. This week on the show, we have our weekly check-ins. We have our special segment. Oh, my God, I'm freaking out. And we have our BFPs and BFNs for the week. Hey, Shauna. Welcome to episode 34. Hey. Can you believe we've been doing this for 34 weeks? No, that's awesome. I know. It's like almost a full year now.

I know, I know. Well, not really, but I don't know. It's closer to a full year.

A lot has changed. Two new lives have been introduced into the world, so. Yes. But tell me, what's going on with you this week?

So much, so much that just when you have a newborn kid, so much happens and changes in one week.

Like I feel like I could have six different check-ins.

So I'm going to try to just focus on a couple things.

My baby's six weeks old now, which is wild.

It's gone so fast.

And the really cool thing is that she's smiling now, like actual like social smiles, not just like the little bodily reflexes.

Yes. And oh my God, I love it. It's just so cute to just like tickle her chin and be like,

and she's just like,

and oh my God.

Oh, I can't wait for that.

It just melts my heart.

Yes.

It's great.

It kind of like I was in a questionable mood the other day, just really tired and

it was a long day.

And then like I sat down and had like a conversation with her kind of. I was talking to her. And she was, like, reacting and smiling. And it made everything better, just everything melted away. And it was just, like, zoned in on her. I bet. I'm right now I'm living off of those reflex smiles, which are still really cute. But it's sort of like,

I'll try to have a conversation with him and I just get that blank stare back.

The blank baby stare. Like, mom, what are you doing? So so skeptical and judgmental. I'm like,

I'm taking care of you. So that the clock. That's awesome. Yeah.
