Welcome to the finished podcast. I'm shedding. Are you again?

Shedding. What? Shedding or shedding? I'm shedding. I'm shedding. I'm looking down at myself

and I have fur and I'm like, well, the pugs aren't around much, but you know, they say that

you do lose some hair after like postpartum. Postpartum sucks, by the way. I thought I hated

being pregnant. I thought I hated trying to get pregnant. Postpartum really sucks.

Postpartum really sucks. I actually think postpartum's like my in my least favorite phase. I guess

it's easy to say when you're in it. You for you. Well, I have no just certain aspects of it,

because every time that that baby smiles, yeah, even when he cries makes it all world.

I know that makes me sound terrible because now we actually do have the living, breathing

creature that we spent all this time creating, but I think I just selfishly postpartum has really

sucked because all your attention's on him. I'm still needy for attention because I don't feel

good. I'm not comfortable in my own body. You know, we actually, I should just dive into this

because we're, you know, we address your questions every week and we got some really good ones

between last podcast and this one, but Crystal wrote us, said hi, Jenna, Fran and Remi and said,

congratulations on your sweet boy. I'm due August 4th with my first and have enjoyed listening

to you all's journey. Thank you for sharing so much of your life and experiences with us.

I have a question for you though. Was there anything you did during pregnancy to mentally prepare

for what it is really like after Remi was born? I tried to imagine what it's going to be like and

think about what's going to be changing, but I feel like I'm going to be completely overwhelmed

and unprepared. I'm 36. I think you nailed it when you said we've been able to be so selfish in

our lives for so long, the transition might be more difficult. Yeah. Crystal, you've, it's like,

you got it all figured out, but nothing can prepare you. I think, right? I mean, don't overthink it.
