Summary
We wanted to give you an update on our pregnancy journey and how we're preparing for parenthood...intentionally. For us, it's important to prepare together for a natural birth AND to get our marriage prepared for parenthood.
Because we talk to couples all day every day (with many being parents), we get to see the behind the scenes challenges that come up with marriage and parenthood. So we've been taking those insights into our conversations and we wanted to share what's been coming up for us in case it inspires you!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Empowered Couples podcast. You're going to be hanging out with just me today, |
| 0:05.2 | Jocelyn. As some of the OG listeners know, we take turns sometimes to do a different topic |
| 0:10.9 | that's on our heart. And today, I wanted to share with you about our pregnancy journey update |
| 0:16.9 | and how we're preparing for parenthood. Now, first disclaimer, we know that there are so many |
| 0:23.2 | opinions on parenting and this episode by no means is saying that this is the thing to do and this |
| 0:30.2 | is how it should be done. I am just going to share what resonates with us and what feels aligned for us |
| 0:37.1 | and just share the excitement with you. |
| 0:40.1 | So brief, you know, backstory. We found out that we're pregnant in March and we were on a trip |
| 0:48.7 | and I just had a feeling that I was pregnant. And honestly, it was very early. |
| 0:55.6 | Most people probably wouldn't even know to take a pregnancy test at that, but I just felt |

| 1:26.7 | that I'm going to be a big sister, love Ellie. And I had that |
| 1:31.4 | written and showed it to Aaron and it was like, wow, he was like, really? Is this true? And it was so |
| 1:41.6 | exciting. And to be honest, I was nervous to share with him because some of you know from listening to past episodes, but we weren't quite sure if having kids was going to be something that we were going to do. |
| 1:54.7 | You know, when we got married, neither of us was a hardcore. I've got to have kids. It's in my destiny. I must, you know, it is a |
| 2:03.7 | requirement. I was more so like neutral. Like, yeah, maybe I want them. I'm not totally sure. |
