60. Q&A Part 2 With a Few Unpopular Opinions
We are picking back up with answering more of your questions! We give our opinions and how we handled seeing family and friends during the newborn stage, tips transitioning from one to two kids, and how long it took us to feel ourselves again (mentally and physically) postpartum. That question leads us into a good discussion about how we are supposed to change and evolve over time, and others saying "you've changed" should be taken as a compliment! We end it with a few more specific questions - what stage was the hardest and the NOT to terrible twos, tips (or lack thereof) for kids out dining, how we like to spend out money and whether to talk to your gym crush!
