T2P Episode 46: That Belly Gettin Big

Trying2Parent

Welcome back, amazing listeners! We're Shawn and Amanda King, your trusty hosts on the Trying 2 Parent Podcast, and we've got another episode packed with updates and adventures from our parenting journey.

We've just returned from our fantastic trip to Naples, Florida. The folks at the Ritz Carlton treated us like royalty, and the trip was nothing short of amazing. Although we did experience a day of relentless rain and an insane thunderstorm, it didn't dampen our spirits.

One of the highlights of the trip was getting to meet and hang out with some fantastic people from our company. It was great to get some questions answered and to connect with the folks we work closely with.

We also had a nice beach day on Thursday, though we couldn't help but feel that our beach back in Mexico is even more beautiful. Nevertheless, Florida has its own unique charm.

But the adventures don't stop there! We're only here for a couple of days before we head out to Georgia for another trip. Life's an exciting whirlwind for us right now.

Now, back to the baby journey. In "We're Pregnant: The First-Time Dad's Pregnancy Handbook," we've reached week 28 which means the third and final trimester has begun. Amanda's pregnancy is progressing, and that belly is really starting to show. However, the pregnancy line at the grocery store has been less than ideal, leading to some not-so-fun experiences. And Nina, our dog, well, we're still not quite sure if she knows about the pregnancy. She certainly doesn't act like it.

In the "Highs" of the week, it was fantastic to go on this trip, get recognized, and connect with the people at our company. However, as much as we love these adventures, I sometimes feel like I can't get as much work done on trips as I'd like, which leaves me feeling a bit behind.

In "In the News," Amanda discusses the positive effects of having animals around a new baby. We all know that furry friends can bring joy and comfort to a household but are there other positive health benefits as well?

And now, let's test your '90s knowledge in our "I Love the '90s" segment:

• Can you name two other characters from "Boy Meets World" besides Topanga?
• Finish the name of this show: "The Grim Adventures of Billy and …"?
• Name one of the three Powerpuff Girls.
• What year did the classic movie "Halloweentown" come out?

That's it for today's episode. Thanks for joining us, and we'll catch you next time on the Trying 2 Parent Podcast!
