Postpartum Rage, Fried Chicken, & Witch Doctors

Jo's in the building! Kind of. You'll hear her squeaks throughout this week's episode as we settle into life with our 12 week old! Justin threw his back out and changing diapers on the floor doesn't help... we reminisce about our Moroccan honeymoon and the time we met a literal witch doctor, and consider maybe infusing baby milk? We get real about postpartum rage (yes, it's a thing), the pressure of the "bounce back" body, and how hard it is to actually spend time together when your third roommate poops every 2 hours. But there's light at the end of the cluster feeding tunnel and we're turning a corner! Marina's made the kitchen her bish and baby-led weaning has us irrationally excited for the future. Also: our upgraded baby gear game, calling out the BS that is America's lack of parental leave, and how words are spells... especially in your relationship!

Postpartum Truths: What They Don't Tell You (Weeks 0-6)

Buckle up, folks… this episode of Best Day of My Life is all about postpartum truths, the stuff no one talks about, and a big ol' dose of humor to keep you laughing! We're chatting about MUST HAVE baby gadgets, why we treat pregnancy, birth, and postpartum like they're a walk in the park (spoiler: they're not), and how babies are basically little uncomfortable squirmy humans trying their best. Oh, and colic? Total scam. We'll also dive into why there NEEDS to be more classes on pregnancy, birth, and babies - because who knew there was so much to learn?! We're getting real about being more skeptical of hospital practices, and to wrap things up, we play 10 Second Wisdoms for some seriously rapid-fire fun. Get ready for laughs, truths, and some serious eye-openers!
