T2P Episode 38: Short and Sweet

Hey, hey, hey welcome back to the Trying 2 Parent Podcast!

It's been a bit of a slow week for us, but don't worry, we've got exciting things on the horizon. In a few days, we'll be heading to Denver for our National conference, and you know what that means—work, fun, and catching up with friends. And speaking of exciting travel plans, we're getting super pumped about our upcoming trip to Japan. The food, the sake, the whiskey—ah, can't wait! We even booked tickets to a sumo tournament. Hell yes! I made sure to buy some new walking shoes specifically for the trip to explore Japan comfortably.

My mom is the ultimate parenting video sharer on Instagram. She's always sending me cute shit along with very useful baby hacks. 

Oh, and the baby shower plans are coming together nicely. We're getting all the details sorted, and it's going to be a blast celebrating this with our friends and family.

One thing we did realize is that we haven't really thought much about baby names yet, but hey, we've got plenty of time to figure that out. No rush, right?

In our "We're Pregnant: The First-Time Dad's Pregnancy Handbook" segment, we're diving into Week 18. As we continue learning about pregnancy, we're growing more and more excited for this new chapter in our lives.

Now, let's talk highs and lows. On the high side, I'm stoked for our life insurance conference this week. I can't wait to catch up with friends, learn some awesome new updates from the company, and, of course, work on improving my craft.

Unfortunately, we hit a little snag with our water dispenser tank, and I think it's broken. Just one of those unexpected things that life throws at you.

In the news, Amanda discusses high blood pressure during pregnancy. It's important to be aware of potential health concerns and stay informed.

And of course, it wouldn't be an episode without some '90s nostalgia! Here are your questions:

What year were Pokémon cards released?

This famous trading card game was also released in 1996 and launched its first anime series in 1998. It's said to be less popular but much "cooler" than Pokémon. What's the name of the game?

And lastly, what was the main character or Trainer's name in Pokémon?

Thanks for tuning in, and stay tuned for more updates, insights, and some good ol' '90s fun. Until next time!
