| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. This week we have our weekly check-ins. We have our special segment. They said what? Where I get a strange proposition in a strange new place. And we close with our BFPs and BF ends of the week. Let's get started. |
| 0:18.8 | Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show. This is episode 85. |
| 0:22.1 | Hello, Shana. |
| 0:23.4 | Hello. |
| 0:24.5 | So tell me, how are you guys this week? |
| 0:26.4 | How old is your little toddler now? |

| 1:15.8 | No, sometimes she wakes up crying. Okay. But I'm hoping, you know, she's not dreaming of |
| 1:21.6 | terrible things and waking up scared. I don't know. It's, I have no idea. And also I'm like, maybe she's teething because around this age, the molars can start coming in. |
| 1:33.5 | It's always a conundrum what exactly is going on. |
| 1:37.1 | But I thought it was interesting that now the babies are going to start dreaming. |
| 1:40.9 | So it's like, what are they dreaming about? |
