| 0:07.6 | hilariously painful in our special segment, Never Have I Ever, and we close up with our BFPs and BFNs. Let's get to it. |
| 0:15.7 | Hey, everybody, welcome to the show. Hello. Hello, hello. So this is episode 44, and we are going to start off with our weekly check-ins. |
| 0:24.7 | Laura, how old is your baby? |
| 0:25.9 | And what do you guys been up to? |
| 0:27.3 | My baby is 12 weeks old. |
| 0:30.8 | Which means he actually turned three months this week, which is just like, I don't know. |
| 0:37.4 | It's weird. He's like such a big man to me. |
| 0:40.4 | It's so funny because he's so little. He's actually, he's like 10th percentile in weight. |
| 0:44.7 | But to me, he looks so big, you know? He, well, he's a lot bigger than he was. Big boy. |

And I was able to send it to Corey because, you know, he was at work. And then later that day, we were just like hanging out on the couch after he fed. And he just was in a good mood. And I was just like telling him how much I loved him and a funny voice. And he just started giggling. And I was like, shut up. Like, so cute. |
| 2:01.3 | Shut up, but no, seriously, keep doing it. |
| 2:03.3 | I did not actually tell my child to shut up. |
| 2:07.7 | But yeah, so that was super fun. |
