| 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, Mom Confessions, where we have some juicy confessions |
| 0:13.0 | about boobs, bathrooms, and britches. |
| 0:16.0 | And then we wrap it up with our weekly BFPs and BFNs. |
| 0:19.1 | Let's get started. |
| 0:23.1 | Hi, everyone. Welcome to episode 76. Hey, Laura. Hey, Shauna. How are you guys doing? How old's your baby? My baby is 10 months and one week. |
| 0:31.6 | And yeah, are we going through another fucking sleep regression? That is my question this week. I feel like you mentioned that just recently, too. Are you just in regression hell over there? |
| 0:43.3 | I don't know. He was such a good sleeper. I feel like I jinxed it by talking about it. I don't know. Anyway, he's still an okay sleeper. But like he used to just conk out and sleep through the night. And I've heard that there's |
| 0:54.5 | some like eight to 10 months sleep regression. I didn't think it would last for two full months. |
| 1:00.1 | Oh, no. Well, I don't know. It's not every night, but there was one night this week where for three |
| 1:06.6 | hours between midnight and 3 a.m. He was up every 20 minutes. And he wasn't even like crying for the |
| 1:15.1 | most part. He was just a little creepy. Oh, God, what? I'd look on the monitor. He'd cry when he first |
| 1:23.5 | woke up and then he'd get like calm and he just like sit there and stare at the door like he knew |
| 1:28.8 | that we were going to come. That's like gave me the chills. No, no, no. That's not the creepy part, |
| 1:32.2 | Shana. And then he would start waving. I'm sorry, but it's just ghosts. We all know it, |
| 1:41.7 | Laura. He just sits there, stares at the door and then he'll like, frantically wave his. And he's on his stomach, right? So he's, like, on his stomach in his little, like, Victorian-style sleep sack. It's not a victorium. But you know what I mean? Like, it looks so, like, old-fashioned to be in a sleep sack. And he just, like, props himself on one elbow and just like, like, it's waving frantically. |
| 2:03.7 | And we're just like in bed, staring at the monitor, being like, what the fuck is this kid doing? |
| 2:09.1 | Like, why is he? And then eventually he'll put his head down. And then like 20 minutes later, he's back up doing the same thing. I just don't even know. |
| 2:27.3 | I have a theory. And it's not ghosts, I swear. It's not. Maybe his arm fell asleep and he's like waving it around to get that blood flow going. |
| 2:35.7 | I mean, that's pretty smart if he does. Like if he knows to do that. I, my theory, although now I'm contemplating that this could be the right one, |
| 2:40.8 | because he does sleep in weird, like his arms do weird, like, Egyptian hieroglyphic things, |
