| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. This week we have our weekly check-ins. |
| 0:06.4 | We have our special segment. OMG, I'm freaking out, where we have some earth-shaking revelations, |
| 0:12.1 | and we have our BFPs and BFNs. Let's get started. |
| 0:15.6 | Hi everyone, welcome to episode 57. Hi, Shana. Hi. So we want to hear what's been going on with your week. How old is your baby now? |
| 0:27.2 | She's 29 weeks, which is about six and three weeks or so. And yeah, she's making some serious progress towards crawling. |
| 0:37.1 | Oh, really? And she's getting close and getting |
| 0:40.7 | frustrated as hell. Oh. Just trying so hard and getting so frustrated and screeching and |

| 1:34.2 | So that frustrates her too. |
| 1:35.7 | So there's just a lot of frustration going on with Cece this week. |
| 1:39.8 | It seems like that's a really hard thing to get from tummy time to getting on your butt. |
| 1:45.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:45.9 | It is. |
| 1:46.6 | There's a lot of different steps involved. |
