When we found out that we were pregnant, we were extremely excited, and also terrified. We wanted to create a space where we could share all of the emotions and hardships we were going through, day by day and week by week. We wanted to capture every small memory and also reflect on the challenges we were experiencing. That’s when we came up with the idea for a pregnancy journal; perfectly customizable to what we were experiencing.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/meeting-baby-h/exclusive-content

Once we had a baby, we realized that we needed more community in our lives. Thankfully, there are a ton of resources and events that most communities put on that can help you educate and entertain your children, with minimal effort on your part. Sometimes we just need someone else to take the reins for an hour or two so we can regain our energy and creativity for activities at home. Topics:LibraryCommunity CenterChurchGymnastics/Dance StudioFitness Clubs for MomsState Parks/Nature CentersParks & PlaygroundsLinks:Products in this Episode / Transcript - 1022 Productions Instagram - https://instagram.com/1022productionsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/meeting-baby-h/exclusive-content

There is no way we would have survived if that was true for us. Topics:Final jaundice checkOne week of antibioticsMeeting with a lactation consultantCar BreakdownLinks:Products in this Episode / Transcript - 1022 Productions Instagram - https://instagram.com/1022productionsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/meeting-baby-h/exclusive-content
