This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re getting into the stuff no one tells you about becoming a new parent (REQUEST FROM Y’ALL: Comment the craziest thing you learned as a new parent that no one told you—because we know there’s more) From the first postpartum period (it was insane), to the unexpected ways your body, routine, and relationship shift, we’re talking about worst and best parts of this phase. Before we get into it, we share updates on consolidating Tate’s feeding cadence, what happened on our parents night out (Alex Warren concert!!!), and our first home reno project finally being done!! Plus, remember computer typing class??? Because we do - and we suddenly want to play Sims and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? In Things We DMed Each Other — a wild peek into how Cocomelon producers optimize for kid engagement (terrifying??), and a conversation on revenge bedtime procrastination (yes, it’s real). WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
