0:00.0	Motherhood is hard. One second, we think we're doing a good enough job and the next we feel
0:09.8	like the worst mom on the planet, which is why we need the refreshing truth of the gospel
0:14.9	to be repeated over and over, giving us hope in the everyday moments. So mama, whether
0:20.9	you're sipping cold coffee or doing a sink full of dishes, we hope you'll find true,
0:25.9	encouragement and laughter here. This is the Risen Motherhood Podcast. Thanks for joining us.
0:37.2	Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Risen Motherhood. We are thrilled you all are joining us

1:46.8	twins in there and I would say each time that I've had a pregnancy, I've definitely gained over
1:56.7	the recommended amount of weight if you look on the chart, especially with my first, I don't know,
2:04.6	probably at least over 35 pounds. I don't shame in that girl. Yeah. Yeah, well, when it's your
2:12.8	first two, you're like, oh, I want to try to be healthy in the near future. Right. You notice that
