T2P Episode 33: You Hold That Belly Girl

Hey there, it's Shawn King, and welcome back to another exciting episode of the Trying 2 Parent Podcast!

Guess what? We're still pregnant! Speaking of pregnancy, have you ever found yourself walking around holding your pregnant belly just so people don't mistake it for being fat? Well that's what Amanda's doing and to be honest I would do the same thing at this middle stage of the pregnancy.

And let's not forget about those crazy pregnancy dreams! They can be so vivid and bizarre. We discussed some of the wild dreams Amanda's been having and how common they are during pregnancy.

On this episode, I'm rereading "We're Pregnant: The First-Time Dad's Pregnancy Handbook." It's a great resource for expectant fathers, providing helpful insights and guidance throughout the pregnancy journey.

We also delved into the topic of hormones. Oh boy, the hormone rollercoaster is no joke! We shared our experiences and strategies for surviving the ups and downs, from laughing to crying and everything in between. Luckily for us it's been a pretty smooth ride.

Now, let's talk about a more intimate subject: sex while pregnant. We opened up about our experiences and discussed when the urge to engage in sexual activity changed during pregnancy. It's a personal and unique journey for every couple, and we'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

As the pregnancy progresses, it's time to start ordering new clothes. Everything is getting tighter, and it's important to stay comfortable. We shared Amanda's shopping adventures and the excitement of finding stylish and comfortable maternity wear.

In other exciting news, my parents are considering moving closer to us and my sister. It's a big step and one that fills us with joy. Family support is invaluable, especially during this exciting and challenging time.

In terms of highs and lows, I had a rewarding experience helping some great people at work this week. One woman I assisted said the nicest things ever to me, and it made my day. However, Amanda had some frustrations with a certain family member that really upset me.

In the news segment, Amanda shared some interesting stories from the Mommy Facebook pages she's a part of, specifically those with the same birth month. It's fascinating to see the different experiences and perspectives from other expectant moms. Some of these ladies are going through some wild sh!t.

And last but certainly not least, let's take a trip down memory lane with our '90s nostalgia segment. Do you remember when the first Harry Potter book was released?  How about when the first Hummer hit the roads? Do you recall when the first Goosebumps book, "Welcome to Dead House," hit the book shelves? And to wrap it all up who can forget the addictive and challenging Bop It game? Can you name the year it was released? 

Well, that wraps up this episode of Trying 2 Parent. We hope you enjoyed our discussions and shared in our excitement about our pregnancy journey. Stay tuned for more updates, stories, and guests in the upcoming episodes. Thank you for listening, and we'll catch you next time!
