We finally started a gentle version of sleep training and it's completely changed our lives. Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula invited us out to have a private wine tour and compete against their sommelier. It was hilarious. Loryn threw a Kentucky Derby themed baby shower for her friend, which begs the age old question: how much horse is too much horse? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

My Amazon storefront with our favorite items we've bought and used since Quinn was born is here. We may not be experts, but here's everything we did with Quinn from bringing her home from the hospital, to the first few months. She's a great night sleeper and has been sleeping through the night since week 8. Did we do something right or just get lucky? We also go over some controversial baby products that we tried and will tell you what's worth the cost and what's not (in our opinion).

Loryn and Shawn go to an influencer event in LA for the first time since they moved out of the city almost 4 years ago. There's also yet another connection to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. And they argue over who's who on many different "2 types of people topics" including cleaning while cooking, loading the dishwasher, how to properly install toilet paper, leaving cabinets open, food expiration dates, and more.

Picking our baby girl's name was 1000x easier than coming up with a boy name. Loryn reviewed Blake Lively's cocktail line and Blake mentioned her by her nickname, so naturally, Loryn is still not over it. Shawn and Loryn also got to have their first date night out since having a baby, which was really Loryn's first BIG night out since before she was pregnant. Spoiler: worst hangover ever.

Loryn's first drink after having a baby is not what anyone expected. She also got sushi in the hospital post birth, so can we really trust her judgement? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Loryn's breastfeeding journey was not what she hoped for, and social media left her comparing herself to moms with freezers full of extra breastmilk. Raw and honest portrayal of the challenges faced by new moms trying to nurse, shedding light on the unrealistic expectations set by social media. Learn more about your ad choices.

One of the biggest struggles for Shawn was just how much his life changed all of the sudden. And surprisingly, this didn't affect Loryn at all. There was a bit of a role reversal when Quinn was born. Shawn (who has lots of experience with babies) had a hard time adjusting, while Loryn (who has zero experience) found herself way more obsessed with her baby than she thought possible.

We're back with a new season and a baby! It's been a wild 4 months (how has it been 4 months already?!) and we're finally ready to talk about EVERYTHING - starting with the birth story. Loryn went 6 days past her due date and despite eating tons of Taco Bell (thanks, Internet), baby Quinn wasn't budging. Until she was... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Loryn had an epic pumpkin spice themed baby shower, and with just about a month left, we're feeling the pressure to get everything done around the house before baby's arrival. We get a lot of questions about whether or not we'll show our baby on social media, and we examine how we feel about it. Shawn reveals what he think he'll be better at when it comes to parenting, and Loryn is thrilled with his revelation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Everyone's talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce this week and we are no exception! Shawn's all for it, while Loryn has different feelings. Speaking of superstars, N*SYNC had a helluva a week, and Loryn learned the story behind Justin Timberlake's infamous pronunciation of the "It's gonna be me." We also get into the frustration that is maternity vs. paternity leave, and why everyone expects Shawn to return to work immediately, but not Loryn. This week's "I Just Found Out" involve a fun fact about Cheetos, and how giraffes test for ovulation (they test for ovulation?!) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
We went to an 8-hour birth 101 class and survived. You know what didn't? Our new couch. The sleeper sofa we JUST bought for our parents' to use once baby's here caught fire at the store before we picked up. Speaking of hot messes, we quiz each other on southern vs. midwest slang, and Loryn deals with a prenatal massage scam.

There's a hilarious trend going around where couples are revealing the most embarrassingly cringey things they say in their relationship, and we had to bring up a few of our own. Shawn almost gives away our baby's name, so we decide to drop a new hint each week to see if anyone can guess it. Busch Light dropped a pumpkin brew (sort of), we learn more amazing Australian slang, and there's a new segment called "What made Loryn cry this week?" And yes, it's as irrational as it sounds.

There are 2 types of people while traveling: the planner, and the one who goes with the flow. We're gearing up for our baby moon in Hawaii this week, and blindly ranking 5 cities/countries we've been to together.
