T2P Episode 50: Doula Said Shut Yo Mouth

Hey everyone, welcome back to the Trying 2 Parent Podcast! Episode 50 is packed with updates, laughs, and some serious financial chat. So, what's been going on this week?

First off, Ellie's gone home, so no more crazy dog noises interrupting our everyday. Also, huge shoutout to Oregon for a killer win against ASU in football!

On the home front, we're knee-deep in holiday spirit - Christmas decorations are up! And just a heads-up, Thanksgiving's right around the corner which we just realized. Time flies when life gets busy!

Now, let’s dive into some major news: we've accepted an offer on our land, leading to an exciting financial move. We're talking about investing a significant chunk into an annuity and starting our own bank through some savvy policies. Look, I get it—money talks might not be everyone's cup of tea, but we’re passionate about sharing what we're doing to build a secure future. The power of continuous compounding interest is no joke, folks!

Financial strategy aside, Amanda’s at 33 weeks now, and that's a significant number for us! We've been prepping for the baby's arrival with a hospital tour and our second Lamaze class. The doula had some interesting insights about our doctor. Fingers crossed for a sneak peek at our son during our next appointment on Tuesday!

Now, diving into the baby update: at week 33, Lamaze classes have been a high point for us, but on a more serious note, had a conversation this week that really hit home about someone's tough health situation.

In the news, we’re exploring the use of red raspberry tea in the third trimester—always fascinating to delve into these natural remedies.

And of course, it wouldn’t be our podcast without a bit of nostalgia. How about some '90s trivia? From "Angel" being a spin-off of Buffy to pinpointing the release years of South Park and Family Guy—it's all about the pop culture throwbacks.
