episode 25: #025 Hitting the road. - Baby tour 2021!
Planes, trains and automobiles! Megan is going all over the place this summer and talks through the mental gymnastics of preparing to travel with a baby. What do you take? Will they sleep? It's gonna be an adventure...
episode 24: #024 Boundaries, preferences, and hard conversations.
It's hard to have hard conversations. In this episode, we talk about how it's still hard to navigate relationships with your children's grandparents even when they're wonderful! How do we set boundaries and strike a balance? How do we stand up for ourselves and our child without pushing away the people we love and want to embrace in our wider family? If you've figured it out - let us know!! Subtitles available on YouTube. Website: https://heymamaihavequestions...
episode 23: #023 Let them wear pink! - Boys as babies and the stories we tell.
We talk about how toxic masculinity is more than a buzz word today - it's emotional. We wade through the small and pervasive pieces of socialization that create a value filter through which we see even tiny adorable babies, and how we try as parents and just generally to work against our instincts and stop perpetuating that s***. And also about how Megan is dyeing shirts. Subtitles available on YouTube. Website: https://heymamaihavequestions...
episode 22: #022 When to have a baby? - Heart vs brain decisions.
Hanna brings us her dilemma today. She wants to throw the plans out the window and have a baby NOW. We talk planning vs winging it and trusting your instincts. We talk about the many reasons not to have a baby, give advice no one should follow, and contradict ourselves a bunch in an effort to figure out what she should do! Subtitles available on YouTube.

episode 19: #019 We're bored of ourselves. - A personal update.
Well, we're a mess this week, and instead of trying to force it we're just popping in your feed to say hello and catch you up on a few life things.
