Summary

Crouching. Bending. Stooping. The magical, ninja-like way you lay a baby down in the crib without waking her up; the feeling of wet, sloppy gums on your knuckles as he teethes. In Episode 363, Sarah and Meagan reflect on the muscle memories associated with the repetitive motions of early motherhood. Some bring back all the warm fuzzies and others make us shudder (looking at you, nipple-biting babes), but we promise, this episode will bring the memories flooding back. Join us!

and hopefully bring everybody along into this very, I don't know like this

0:42.8

collective experience that is the muscle memory of motherhood. And regardless,

0:48.3

like don't leave us if you've got teenagers and tweens. And this is as much

0:51.9

for those of us who've been out of the little years as it is for those who are

in it. And Megan, do you want to tell the little story of how how this came

1:10.6

Joanna. And afterward, we were just sitting around having a drink in the hotel

lobby. And she was telling, I think a funny potty training story. I think

1:20.4

is where it started. And it's like, you're commiserating about

1:23.8

funny training. And then it kind of just devolved into one of those

1:28.2

conversations that are a lot about poop and like bodily fluids. And I just
