Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to the Trying 2 Parent Podcast, Episode 56! Happy Merry New Years to all our listeners out there!
It’s been a shorter week post-Christmas, filled with some quirky adventures:
The Christmas pie miracle quest? Let’s just say, it didn’t pan out as expected.
Those windshield wipers we installed? Top-notch performance—definitely adulting at its finest!
Discovered a delightful ice cream spot within walking distance—score!
Football, house cleaning, and homemade guacamole—just another day of multitasking.
Egg nog dilemma alert—seems I missed out on that holiday staple this year. Major disappointment!
And hey, heads up, we're taking a break from video podcasts for a while. Apologies to our viewers—we’ll miss those visual connections!
The folks are set to arrive in town next Tuesday, adding more excitement to the mix.
Baby update: Amanda’s now at 39 weeks, and we’re assuming Keanu's imminent arrival!
Tuesday's doctor appointment and another doula visit filled our week.
Amanda’s started curb walking—sounds quirky but apparently has its perks!
Highlights of the week: A relaxing Christmas (despite the pie mishap), and some exciting financial prospects on the horizon. Lows: Feeling swamped, struggling to reach out to everyone as the year wraps up.
And of course, it's time for '90s trivia:
States with cities having holiday-inspired names? Christmas, Florida; Santa Claus, Georgia; Mistletoe, Kentucky—festive much?
Average American holiday spending? More than you'd think! Nearly $1,000, with gift cards ruling the gifting scene.
In Home Alone, where are the McAllisters headed for vacation? Paris, oui oui!
And the gift from the Little Drummer Boy to the newborn Christ? He played a song on his drums—music to our ears!
Stay tuned for more baby updates and throwback trivia next time on Trying 2 Parent!
