It may be me and all the pregnancy hormones during the time of this recording (haha)--I'm in the very last few weeks of my second pregnancy--BUT just in case it's not just me, remember to have some tissues close by. Because in this sentimental discussion, we talk about the realities of parenthood. Is time on our side? That's the ultimate question. This is one of those episodes you'll for sure have to save, share and re-listen to, especially during those hard days!

In this episode we answer questions from a couple, one of our listeners who contacted us and are expecting their first child. Congratulations to them! Seeing their questions, we decided to do a whole episode about it, because you or someone you may know may also benefit from them. So today, we're talking all about babies and parenting! We touch on topics like how to incorporate language early on, how to interact and connect with your baby, diaper changing, toy and book recommendations, screen time, and more!
