In this episode, we're diving headfirst back into the whirlwind of life that comes with newborn babies. Soy opens up about the stark contrasts between their children's early days, including a heart-wrenching NICU stay. We'll chuckle together at the anecdote of snoring disturbances within Ashley's own household, reminding us all of the lighter, more humorous side of shared lives. Our conversation will boldly wrestle with the use of labels in our community. From identifying as "dom" or "stud" to watching the younger generations twist, turn, expand, and sometimes discard these labels altogether, we'll discuss how as we age and find our people, the importance of these labels tends to fade. This thought-provoking dialogue delves into the intersectionality of identity, parenting, and the pressures of societal norms. SK candidly shares how parenthood has altered their relationship dynamics, touching on the importance of rekindling romance as children gain independence. Tai reveals the intimate challenges of breastfeeding and the paramount importance of communication, especially when faced with adversity. Through laughter and heartfelt storytelling, our episode traverses the subjects of bedtime routines, meal prep, and the character play from "The L Word." More profoundly, we discuss how parenting reshapes love and communication, transforming individual priorities and changing the texture of relationships. Prepare for a raw, honest reflection on the challenges and triumphs that come with being a non-birthing parent. Listen as we confront the vulnerabilities of parenting, the importance of maintaining a "self" amidst the blur of Babyville, and the beauty of growing together through life's unexpected turns. Grab your headphones, find a cozy spot, and let's peel back the layers on the evolving meanings of labels, love, and life—as only The Queerly Blax Show can.

Today's show is a special one – we're diving into the first part of a profound discussion on "Non-Birthing Moms," bringing light to an often under-represented experience. In this episode, I'm joined by three remarkable parents, Soy, SK, and Tai, each bringing their own unique perspectives and heartfelt stories from the nontraditional path of motherhood. We'll plunge into the emotional nuances supporting a partner through pregnancy and how each of our guests navigated the complex journey of conception via IUI and IVF amidst the challenges of finding the right donor, familial reactions, and seeking proper medical support. Soy takes us through the delicate matters of identity and family dynamics, SK shares her transformative experience from indifference towards parenting to a deep sense of family, and Tai offers a candid insight into the hardships of infertility treatment. We also touch on managing constant togetherness, making crucial decisions about child-bearing, and confronting societal views on family without a traditional male figure. From the struggles of explaining non-traditional pregnancy to a family, to the triumphs of building a family against the odds, we cover it all. The conversation is candid and sometimes light-hearted, but it’s always real. So join us as we address the common concerns, misconceptions, and the beautiful complexities non-birthing moms face. Stay tuned as we reveal the fears, the moments of joy, and the resilience it takes to navigate parenthood. And don't forget, this is only the first part – you won't want to miss the continuation in episode 99, where we'll explore life after kids. Trust me, it's going to be a conversation you'll be thinking about long after you've stopped listening.
