Two Parents & A Podcast

• It’s a boy!!!

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — IT’S A BOY!!! 🎉 We’re breaking down everything from how we found out, how we’re feeling now that we know, and why I was so sure it was a girl (spoiler: I was wrong). We get into the excitement, the nerves, and what we’re most looking forward to about welcoming a little boy, plus our thoughts on gender-reveal parties and which old wives’ tales actually held up. Before all that — family-style dinners at weddings (the BEST??), a father-son moment at the World Series, and a full pregnancy update with all the latest symptoms. In Bicker of the Week: is it gross to put your suitcase on the bed? (We NOW have the same take LOL) And of course, in Things We DMed Each Other: why McDonald’s Diet Coke just hits different, and getting ready for Tate’s second Halloween 👻 LOVE YOU GUYS — thanks for celebrating this big moment with us!! 💙 Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:54 It’s a boy!!! 00:04:05 Is family style dinner the best way to do a wedding?! 00:07:20 Is THIS an etiquette “party foul”? 00:13:52 Father-son moment at the World Series  00:16:26 How we told our families the baby’s gender 00:19:32 Pregnancy update: all the latest symptoms 00:26:32 Why I was SO SURE it was a girl… 00:28:30 How we feel about having a boy 00:33:36 What makes us nervous about having a baby boy 00:36:20 House updates: prepping for another baby!  00:38:32 How we found out we were having a boy 00:40:45 Our thoughts on gender reveal parties 00:43:30 10 Old wive’s tales for predicting gender 00:49:12 Bicker of the Week: Is it gross to put your suitcase on the bed? 00:51:30 Things We DMed Eachother: Why Diet Coke at McDonald’s tastes better 00:54:00 Getting ready for Halloween!  00:56:33 LOVE YOU GUYS!  #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Hungryroot: For a limited time get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Jonas Brothers concert night out (plus Rob’s Backstage Popcorn BTS), and a recap of the Louvre jewel heist bc  we can’t stop thinking about it.  Then, we get into etiquette that still matters (thank-you notes, “Mr.” and “Ms.”, saying hi to other parents) before Things We DMed Each Other — like the funniest things that are physically impossible during pregnancy and the fact that your heart literally grows while pregnant (!!!).

• Tylenol during pregnancy, vaccines & what really matters for your baby’s health (with Dr. Ari Brown)

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re joined by Dr. Ari Brown (board-certified pediatrician and author of the bestselling 411 book series) for a conversation about what truly matters for your baby’s health. Dr. Brown brings decades of experience helping parents cut through the noise of modern parenting. In this episode, she shares evidence-backed guidance on pregnancy nutrition (what to eat and what to avoid), the latest research on Tylenol use during pregnancy, and the other lifestyle choices that actually influence your baby’s development during pregnancy. (PLUS how to tell what’s real medical advice versus internet myths.)  We also asked about newborn and toddler health — everything from Hep B shots and vitamin K right after birth to vaccines, breast milk versus formula, picky eating, and how to handle screen time for young kids. Science-based, judgment-free, and grounded in real pediatric expertise, this episode covers everything we (and you guys!!!) are genuinely curious about when it comes to keeping your baby healthy.

• How pregnancy has impacted our relationship: connection, communication, & conflict

  This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re breaking down how pregnancy #2 has changed our relationship. From deeper connection and more appreciation to a few more... heated moments (hi, hormones), we’re talking about what this season has brought up for us both. We get into the big stuff: how communication looks different this time around, how we handle conflict during high-emotion days, and how partners can take care of themselves while supporting someone who’s pregnant (it matters more than you think!!). Before all that: when’s the best time to travel with a baby (we have thoughts), why this stage of Tate (1 year old!!) might actually be our favorite yet, and a discussion on the “mom guilt” that’s starting to creep in while sick in bed.  And in Things We DMed Each Other: a $30K baby-name consultant (????????) and a debate over whether pregnancy is actually harder than running a marathon (we’re siding with pregnancy). Oh and Harrison is wondering if either of us can secretly sing hahahahaha  LOVE YOU GUYS  ❤️ Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! 00:02:42 When is the best time to travel with a baby in the first year? 00:10:00 Why this stage of parenthood has been our favorite so far 00:13:23 Mom guilt during pregnancy 00:17:04 How pregnancy is impacting our relationship 00:19:04 The positive changes pregnancy brought to our relationship 00:26:30 Dealing with conflict during high-emotion (and high-hormone) times 00:43:15 How partners can take care of themselves while supporting a pregnant partner 00:46:50 CWhy clear communication matters more than ever during pregnancy 00:49:00 Things We DMed: The $30K baby name consultant  00:51:12 Things We DMed: Is pregnancy really harder than a marathon? 00:55:45 LOVE YOU GUYS! #twoparentsandapod --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Quince: Keep it classic and cozy with long-lasting staples from Quince.
