T2P Episode 52: Hardcore Fun With Other Parents

What's up everyone welcome back to the Trying 2 Parent Podcast! This is Episode 52, and things are getting festive—Christmas vibes are slowly creeping in with decorations lighting up the neighborhood.

Business-wise, it’s an odd time; everyone’s keen on coverage but with that classic "I'll sort it out next year" attitude. But hey, priorities, right?

We had a meeting with our infinite banking specialist, and soon, our policy will be good to go. On the furry friend front, Nina’s had her blood work done for a teeth cleaning and got herself a massive new tennis ball—it has a squeaker?

In sports news, we caught some nail-bitingly close college football games—sorry, Oregon and Amanda!

Now, onto the big news: Amanda's hitting 35 weeks, and Keanu's making his way into the world. Oh yeah our baby's name is Keanu Mikael King. Baby stuff is flowing in—we ordered a bunch more essentials.

However, Amanda had a serious Charlie horse snag this morning. Which I know definitely sucked

We’re diving into some controversial waters with circumcision discussions—definitely a heated topic!

Meeting up with other expecting expats for a little parenting pow-wow—that's always a good time to build a community.

Baby update time at week 35:

• Highs: Excited about making new friends and delving deeper into the infinite banking concept. Setting up our family for generations? That's the goal!
• Lows: A string of ghosted appointments this week—people being people.

In the news, we’re tackling the topic of water breaking—let’s talk about the unexpected.

And, as always, it's '90s trivia time:

• First web browser in 1990? World Wide Web.
• Highest-grossing '90s film? Titanic, making us all weep.
• First commercial text message? "Merry Christmas" spreading the holiday cheer in 1992.
• First web-based email service? Hotmail—revolutionary for its time!
