## Resource

This week on Two PARENTS & A Podcast, we have the parenting heavy episode you guys have been asking for :) With baby #2 coming in T-2 days, we’re revisiting all the newborn decisions that hit at once (that also happen to be some of the most loaded topics on the internet). So we rapid-fire (if 30+ mins can be considered rapid-fire) through the big ones: letting a newborn cry, co-sleeping, formula vs. breastfeeding, vaccinating on schedule, sleep training before 4 months, visitors in the first week, taking a newborn out in public early, feeding on demand, kissing the baby, and who should actually be getting up in the middle of the night. Before that, we get into Bicker of the Week x2 (turning off a show in the middle + fruit flies), when kids learn their parents’ first names (like does anyone actually know this answer??), and the very rude reminder that the last week of pregnancy is its own full-body (and mind) experience. Oh and Harrison told me that yes, my push present is now officially outside the return window lol. Then, because our brains are obviously in 14 places at once right now, we do a Bieber update (including the revelation that SWAG does NOT stand for swagger), Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle (Lix vs. Lex), and end on the very weird emotional reality that baby #2 still isn’t fully clocking (s/o Justin) for us yet. LOVE YOU GUYS!
