Hello, hello, and welcome to the baby gang. I am your host, Becca Tobin, and thank you to our presenting sponsor, BetterHelp. All right, here I am.

Episode two, you guys. Episode one, last week's episode with our surrogate, the reception has been incredible. I was so nervous,

I went on a trip with my husband, Zach. We went away for a full week with friends. And it's the longest that we have ever left for our four-year-old together. We've left on short weekends away. But one of us is always home when it's a long trip for the other. So I had, you know, I had, I felt guilty as we do.

And we just had to go on this trip because not like had to in a bad way, but we really wanted

to get some time together to reconnect, to spend time with our friends and, you know, gear up for

having a newborn in August or September. But we decided to do a little, a thing that I
