Ep. 81 - Four is a Magic Number
The family is back home and is a unit of four!

Ep. 80 - LIVE! From The Hospital
Though it is after the fact, we did record a small episode of the show while we were prepping for induction at the hospital. It's not too long but documents our anticipation of what was to come that day. I will say that baby and mom are safe and we are at home. New post-birth episode coming soon!

Ep. 69 - 2 Years Old
Jeremy and Krista pop on the mics to talk about what's been going on since August 2022. We have a two year old now, we're potty training, going on trips, and are generally still unprepared. It's nice to return to talking about what's been going on with us and how parenting is changing us (and not changing us). We discuss out prep work for the party, the challenges of potty training, as well as the state of mind we try to put ourselves in when things get challenging.

Ep. 68 - Are Those Gifted Kids Getting Gifts?
Jeremy and Krista are back to discuss the little one moving to a new classroom at daycare, what we've been up to, as well as a story about young adults feelin more pressure to be perfect and perform at high levels. This led to conversation about how things like gifted classes, and reading level groups can unintentionally create bad situations socially and mentally for children. HOW DO WE AVOID IT? CAN we? Enjoy our paranoia.
Ep. 67 - Invisible Blowout
We're back to talk about our first family trip to the beach, organizing daily boxes of toys, activities, and books, the question, what to expect at 15 months old, and more!

Ep. 62 - Now Departing: Infancy
Jeremy and Krista are back to wrap up the end of year one of being parents. A fairly long episode that meanders in many places. The question for this episode leads us down the path of influences and the strong role that parental figures have in that, what it's like seeing our mothers interact with and be around the baby, the importance of keeping parents to be steeped in positive stories from our own experience and the inclination that other feel to share horror stories, what we did for Easter, and what we plan to do for the upcoming birthday. We even get first impressions of the newly imported Netflix show "Old Enough."
