Summary

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re doing something a little different… we’re releasing a (previously unreleased) episode we recorded ONE YEAR AGO, the night before Tate was born. We tried to capture every thought, fear, and feeling leading up to the biggest moment of our lives—and answer the most asked questions we were getting at the time!!! In this time capsule of a conversation, we share why we decided to schedule an induction, what we’d tell ourselves at the start of pregnancy, and our #1 piece of advice for anyone just beginning their pregnancy journey. We talk pregnancy food craving eras (lol), regrets, whether to put your baby on social media, and how we landed on Tate’s name (kind of). Plus, we guess what we thought birth and life post-baby would look like. Re-listening a year later was surreal, and we’re so excited for you guys to hear it. THANK YOU GUYS for being part of this journey from the very beginning—this one’s special :) LOVE YOU GUYS!

Welcome back to another episode of two parents in a podcast. You guys, today is maybe the best
0:26.3	episode we've had, not like the best, but the most interesting. It's a cool, it's, it's the first
0:32.7	time we've done anything like this. Yes, that's what it is. It's one of a kind. So as we mentioned last week, before we had Tate, and this week is Tate's first birthday,
0:43.3	so it's one year of us being parents, before we had her the night before I was induced,
0:47.5	we went in the studio and we recorded like an episode to ourselves, and that's what you're
0:52.4	about to hear.
0:54.1	And it's got a bit of
0:57.0	everything. Yeah. We talk through it. Yeah, we just talked about how we're feeling, uh, reflect on
1:02.8	the nine months prior, uh, make some predictions about the, the year ahead. I think one of the
1:10.7	funniest things is we talked about whether or not
1:12.5	Tate would end up on social media. Don't spoil anything. But yeah, it's yeah, I hope that

1:33.6	Well, I don't know if she's going to be born tomorrow, but she's going to be on her way tomorrow.
1:39.9	And so this is what one thing that Harrison and I wanted to do was record tonight and have like a very raw, sweet episode about how we're feeling.
1:49.7	So we'll start kind of talking about first trimester and things that we wish we knew then.
1:55.7	And then we'll kickstart it to today.
