Episode Synopsis

This isn’t our “funny parenting mishaps” episode — this is the one where everything got intense, fast.We’re opening up about: • The mental health struggles that followed us through pregnancy and postpartum. • Life with gestational diabetes and how it changed the last stretch of pregnancy. • Our C-section and NICU experience — the fear, the waiting, and the small wins that kept us going. • The chaotic hospital discharge that proved we had no idea what was coming next.And because life doesn’t stop being ridiculous even when it’s hard, Eli shares about his milkshake withdrawal crisis that somehow became part of our birth story.If you’ve ever felt like you were surviving on equal parts grit, love, and questionable snack choices — this one’s for you.
