IT'S A BOY! In this week's episode, we talk about our gender reveal party for our 2nd baby and about Abby's pregnancy thoughts and fears as she rapidly approaches the 3rd trimester. Make sure to rate our podcast and leave a review if you can, it really helps us out!

Are you 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow? 24 is the week of viability, too. No. So you could have this baby tomorrow. Turns out, milk glands go all the way up. Whoa. So much. Oh, you have a pity.

I have a pity. You stuck a needle up that thing with milk shoot out? I don't know. I hope not. Abby looks at me, then the eyes and says, there's pee running down my leg. There's a puddle. There's a puddle on the floor.

I didn't know that grown women could be their pants so much. Before we get started, if you could leave a review for our podcast on Spotify or Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, that would mean the world to us. It really, really does help us out. Share the podcast with a friend. We love that. And let's get on with the episode. It's so boy. Surprise.

We are very, very stoked. You know what's funny? Yes. I feel like I'm always on the podcast divulging comments that I see. I swear, I really don't read a lot of comments. It's like a self-preservation thing. But I saw a comment that said,

like, you can see in his eyes that he is disappointed. He really wanted a girl. I saw that one. I saw that one. That was on the TikTok, I think, of us finding out. Yeah. And what's funny is, like, I really was at a spot where I'd be so excited either way. I was convinced, though, that it was a boy.

So I think, like, I wasn't super shocked because I just knew somehow. No, I would have been thrilled to have a girl, but like, I knew it was a boy so much. And I really kind of wanted a boy I feel like that's kind of like I feel like it's taboo to kind of say your preference But like I kind of wanted another boy just because our babies are so close in age Yeah, I was like it would be so fun if they just had like a built-in little best friend. Oh my gosh two little boys Not that a boy and a girl couldn't have like brother, brother and sister couldn't have a great relationship. It's just different, right? Like, I think like, brothers.

Like, you just bond a certain way with your brothers. And I know that bond, because I have brothers. I have an older brother and younger brother. And so I'm so freaking stoked for Griffin. I know, like, we kind of were wanting a boy. Truthfully. And so then when someone said that I was like, that's hilarious.

Which is also funny, because at the end of the video, we shared, I realized I said like, we're gonna try for another baby. And it's not because I'm like, I have to have a girl because I could easily see us having all boys. And I'm like totally thrilled about that. It's just because it's like, I know I'm not done having babies yet.

It'd be sweet to have like two or three older brothers and then like a little girl for them to protect. I know. We keep talking about this recently. I'm like, why do I feel like we're going to have three boys and then a girl? But if we adopt though, we can just chute. We can just make sure that we're having a little girl

if we adopt. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But I feel like you've been switching up what you wanna do. Wait, would you put Vaseline all over your hands? I did. Matthew.

We live in Arizona. It's the desert. It's very dry. I just use hand lotion. That never rose. Fascin- Fascin- Fascin-

Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin-

Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Fascin- Sorry, continue with your thoughts. It makes my hands feel way better. We already talked about, you're like, we had a adopt a little girl. No, I mean, I think it's funny now that we've had two babies or we're about to have a second baby.

You've kind of been changing your mind, I think, in a way, because we had discussed if we have four kids, we'll just adopt two and make two. And now I think you're wanting to. I think it's my hormones. It's definitely is the hormones. Like they just like are like reproduced Abby like they they

keep making you know pop your like this world. I don't know how those hormones. I don't know why because I love being pregnant. It's because I love having babies and I love I will say something it's probably in my hormones as a man. Oh really?

Oh it's okay. I feel like you're gonna, yeah. It's just the thought of like not having another baby. It's like makes me so sad. I don't have those hormones, hormones, which is kind of funny. Like, I can't relate to you being like, I wanna keep making them.

Like, to me, I'm like, wow, two boys, it's gonna be so amazing and so much fun. And I truly am like content in the idea of just like, yeah, I just have two boys is gonna be so amazing and so much fun. And I truly am content in the idea of just like, yeah, I just have two boys and that'll be a- Well don't get me wrong, I am content and I feel so blessed and so thankful to have the thing that we do have. I think it is the hormones, but then it's also just like,

you know, I don't know, I never had like these crazy career aspirations in my life. I think at one point I did wanna be an actress and that was like, that was so cool. But then once something switched in me where it was like, I always say it's when I fell in love with you, like something switched and it was like, I just, I just want a family. And so then to think that that stage of my life could be done

when that was like what I wanted, like that was like my life goal. Totally. Not that it doesn't continue, but it's just like this is like, you know, the part where they need you the most. It's like the thought that that could be done, it just breaks my heart a little bit.

Yeah. And it's not going to be, right Matt? What do you mean? I don't know. We're not, you're saying we're not going to be done after two? Yeah. We'll talk about it. don't know you we're not you're saying we're not gonna be done after two. Yeah We'll talk about it. Oh my gosh. You're breaking my heart. Okay. Here's a deal our life has changed drastically like I'm talking drastically over the past like three years and I would have never in a million years could have like

Guests three years ago what our life would look right now look like right now So to be trying to like conjure up some idea of what our life's gonna look like three years now what our life would look right now. Look like right now. So to be trying to conjure up some idea of what our life's gonna look like three years from now is I think silly. Just I just don't know. I literally no idea. Let me have the two kids and have a newborn and a 13 month old and then get back with me

and I'll probably say something different. I'm fully content with moving forward with the thought of, we'll probably have another but it's not set. Yeah, what if we reconvene in like a year, a year or two? A year or two. A year and a half. A year and a half we will reconvene.

But I definitely think no matter what, if we do ever try for another one, I think we should wait two years because I think we just need to like. Physically my body needs to recuperate. Yeah, I think you need some, you just need time for yourself and then also I think we just need to like... Physically, my body needs to recuperate. Yeah, I think you need some... You just need time for yourself, and then also I think we need time for us.

I will have no time for myself to... Little pinkies. So what if you're talking about... But with your parents... No, we're gonna get into everything. So let's just start... Oh, I can't get into that. Wait, I did wanna say one other thing.

Okay, what? It's funny you mentioned the career aspirations, because I still have these dreams of mine. I would love to make music, I would love to produce music, and try to give it a shot at being an artist. And I think there's nothing wrong with that. And I have other dreams like that. I love creating, I like making videos.

I want to keep making videos until I'm 75. I love it so much. Well, I mean, even if it's just not as extreme extreme right now because we put out a lot of videos right now like word We put out a lot of content, but maybe it'll you know It'll slow down in the future, but I really enjoy creating it's really fun and I love can I say this? I love being a dad and getting to create like I think I think both and being a husband I think all that is so much fun But I I guess for me like I know you could be perfectly content,

like only being a mom and like just being like, career stuff, see it, right? Isn't that kind of like your... 100%. I don't think there's anything on it. I think you can fully invest in your career and you can be an amazing parent. Yeah.

Like I don't think that you have to choose. For me, it was just like, yeah, I think that's what I wanna do. I mean, there was a point where I was like, I just wanna be a snail mom. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so. Do you wanna be a sail mom? I don't know, because I think I actually don't.

Like I do think that I am able to be a better mom when I'm not spread so thin, like always with the kids, or kid, but I wanna spend majority of my days. And I wanna be the one, like even when we have people over for help, like I'm my hands so much in it, like I'm kind of controlling, I need a chill. And look like you obviously gotta do whatever you, whatever's best for you.

But at the same time, you're so good at making videos and you're such a naturally talented creator. I was thinking I would get a job at like a coffee shop or something. I always tell Matt this. Like I think that I would truly enjoy that because. Just big of a breeze, though. Like not just being a breeze, I think that's would truly enjoy that because just big a brista like not just being a brista. I think that's an amazing. I don't know like you want to do that. I want to do it so bad because I love

making coffee. I love being around people. Yeah. And I love having like busy tasks. And I was like I don't want to over glamorize that because I know there are people that do that job and they're like, okay, I'm so worked out by this. But maybe it's just because of the stage of life I'm in right now. I'm like, it just sounds so nice to get out of my house and be around people and like. But I think it's so funny.

Because like, I tell Abby, I'm like, Abby, you could literally start your own coffee shop. Like you could promote it on your social media and people would love that. Like it'd be so cool. But Abby is like, no, I just kind of, I wanna work. I wanna be an employee.

Yeah. At a coffee shop. I'm 100% And it's just funny how like our interests are so vastly different. But I think that's what almost makes us work because we're such different people. I think we're working on opposites attract.

We're not opposites though. We are a lot of things that we are opposites on. Well, yeah. Like stark opposites. And I think that being in a partnership it has made us pulled to the opposite side. Yeah. Because we're subconsciously trying to balance each other out.

Yeah. Anyway, and that's how marriage should be, I think. Yeah, that is how marriage should be. But I don't think we should be pushing against each other. Yeah, we need to work as a team. I like working as a team, and I think you're hilarious and funny, and you fill in all the gaps that I have. You're way funnier than me. You're so freaking hilarious. I don't think so.

I think you're hilarious. I think you're hilarious Matt Howard. And I think you're hot and I'm ugly. Oh, shut up. We all know that you think you look good. No, no, I think you're very attractive though. I think you're very, very pretty woman. Well thank you.

So you're very pretty and you're very cute. And also, can I just say this? Abby has the most precious voice in the world. Like her voice is so unique. And sometimes we'll get some A-holes on like comments that'll like say something mean about Abby's voice. And I'm like, I don't understand what's wrong with these people.

Like what, how could they think that her voice isn't the most precious thing, the most precious sound in the world? People, I mean, people have a point, like I mean, I fully can't help it. It does sound, it does make me same younger. Like it's like a juvenile sounding voice. But what am I to do about that?

It's also when you're ordering it like the driver, it gets higher. It gets higher. I think it's because I'm talking louder. Yeah. I don't know. Is that why I'm not yelling at you sometimes you laugh at me? Because it gets so hot. Probably, yeah. That's probably why that why when I yell at you sometimes you laugh at me because it gets so hot?

Probably yes. Yeah, that's probably what I'm also because I think it's also sometimes like you go it's like Griffin like Griffin will be like crying and then he'll laugh like two seconds later. It's like the emotion change is so severe so rapid and so quick and so sometimes Abby will like go zero to 100 and then I just I can't stop. I can't help myself from laughing because the the change in emotion. I tell you I asked you I'm warning. I know that was starting yesterday morning. Well, you even have to yesterday morning. I have no idea. I started crying.

I get oh you did because I didn't go to go to the gym. Oh, I'm sorry. Is that normal? Do women cry because they want to go to the gym so bad but then something gets in their way because like that's Abby. If Abby can't go to the gym, she will literally cry. It's my me time. It's like if I enrobed of my me time,

then I'm upset about that. That is good that you like to go to the gym so much because it reminds me I'm like, oh, frick, I probably should go workout. Like I would not be as disciplined to work out if it weren't for you. It's kind of annoying though. Like you have the type of body where,

like I don't work out to look a certain way clearly because I'm also pregnant so it's like I'm not gonna. Yeah. What am I what am I really working for? You know. Yeah. But it's I do it purely to feel good and to like mentally feel good. But like you can physically look good without doing literally anything. Thank you. I think you look really good. Like when you there's a compliment. Okay, sorry, we need to move on. What are we gonna, what are we gonna talk about the gender reveal, the party? Hey, lower your butt to say this.

Finding out. I was gonna say that there's been times where you haven't worked out for a while and your body looks freaking awesome. Thanks man. Like freaking, freaking great. I'll stop it there because we gotta keep this podcast PG-13.

Okay, we're moving right along. So let's talk about finding out the gender of baby number two. Ooh, okay. So, you know, the day really did, I said this, it felt like a baby number two moment for sure because we were rushing out the door and like almost late for the appointment. Oh yeah, we vlogged this whole day by the way. It's on YouTube. It's on YouTube. So I'm gonna show you guys can watch that if you you want. Yeah and it was so fun watching that back after it was already posted. That always gives me grief because I watch our YouTube videos after they're already posted. I'll get I spent all this time making sure the

videos are perfect and then my own wife doesn't even watch the videos. And sometimes I don't like Abby go watch her video. It's posted on our YouTube. But it was really sweet to go back and look at that day because it was such a precious moment. So, okay, we were running out the door. I'm like doing my makeup in the car. And we're just like, I feel like in that moment we were so sure it was a boy. I don't know.

But then I actually knew. I knew, but then I was getting, I felt the same way that I felt last year. This last year, I was getting second thoughts. I feel like I knew for sure it was a boy. And then the day I was getting, I felt the same way that I felt last year. This last year, I was getting second thoughts. I feel like I knew for sure it was a boy. And then the day I was like, wait, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I've been thinking something that's a lie this whole time.

And I kind of thought I was a boy more so just because I, I mean, I think it's mostly an old wives tale, but like symptoms wise, pregnancy wise, my symptoms have been the same as with Krassef. All that stuff is bogus though. All that stuff. None of it's actually based on science. I feel like if that could be the one that isn't though.

Really? You're symptoms? There's no science based on... If you can base it on a previous pregnancy, I don't know. I don't know. I think if people ran tests and they found a scientific trend in any of those old wives skills, then they would actually be metric for measuring those things, but it's not.

Like, if there's a reason it's called an old wife's house, it's just, it's bogus, it's all made up. It's kind of fun though, it's still fun to do it. It is fun. Yeah, it's fun to do it. And so I think the same thing happened like we had, we knew in our hearts it was a boy, but then in our heads we were like, obviously it's 50-50,

so I found myself looking at girl names night before and like, and we had a really sweet girl name That almost made me cry that we had picked out so I guess we'll just have to use it someday, but gosh I love that name Really? Yeah, I do too Speaking of the name we picked out sorry, I'm jumping ahead, but we picked out a name and now like yesterday Abby like came up with a new name after we announced the whole name to our family and Are we gonna change the name like are is that you're assuming you're actually wanting to do?

No, I feel emotionally connected with that with a baby. Don't you think I think so like right now. I'm like freaking out Yeah, I like the name of our baby. Okay, me too. Yeah. Okay. Let's keep it Okay, so maybe we shouldn't announce it on the podcast because we're still kind of like iffy Yeah, yeah, I guess okay. We did tell our family make it our little secret only our family knows the name and some of our friends getting ahead of us Anyway ourselves, but we are at the appointment the first it was like a double appointment So I did the sonogram first and so sweet seeing the baby this baby is a little bit harder to see than Griffin was because of the placement of the placenta. Oh yeah. This pregnancy, the placenta is anterior,

so it's like on the front, right? It's in the front, so usually the placenta is towards your back and now it's on the front. And Abby's been getting a lot of back pain because of that. I know that's just a coincidence or if that is why I'm having the back pain. I don't know, I mean, it seems like the placenta was cushioning your back before and now there's no placenta.

So the baby just freaking whacking around, you know, whacking your toes. I will say this baby is in a completely different position than my first pregnancy with Griffin because I was feeling all these kicks in my ribs and baby was so high up. Now I feel them in my hips and mostly my bladder. And less kicks because that's the thing

about having an anterior placenta is that you don't feel the kicks as much. So the synographer? Sorry, I'm just stuck on the bladder thing. Can we talk about you pain your pants? Sure, let's just die right in. That's been shocking actually. Like I didn't know that grown women could be their pants

so much. You don't hear people talk about that? I don't really I didn't know people talk about that I feel like it's kind of taboo like people don't really come out and just say like I'm pissing my pants all the time because I'm Pregnant and I can't control my bladder and especially Abby being on baby number two so close to the first pregnancy Like your bladder is just uncontrollable. I know when I had all those people telling me to do pelvic floor therapy I was like, ma'am, I can't do it while I'm pregnant right now. I know when I had all those people telling me to do pelvic floor therapy, I was like, ma'am, I can't do it while I'm pregnant right now. I mean, like, could. Oh, you can.

You can, but it's like, why? I think you should go to like a pelvic floor therapist one time and then- I already did it. I've been there and I've done that and it was so uncomfortable, it was in their house. Really? And they're just kind of putting their family over there.

No, like for those of you that don't know, pelvic floor therapy, I think it's great. And I mean, my personal experience wasn't great. Like, it was in this person's house, and they are sticking, are they sticking like fingers? Their fingers is inside of you. Yeah, and doing, feeling around.

No. And she was giving me weird feet. God, I was like, I don't know. And are they having you like push and squeeze and stuff? And squeeze and like, and squeeze and like, what's their fingers in you? That has to be something that I could do. If there's any sort.

Oh, okay Matt, no, we're talking about this. So I was at this person's house, it's kind of uncomfortable. I know you can go to like a medical location. I'm sure, and I'm sure there's probably people that do this that are great. For your experience. I think my, the issue is my fault

and the timing I went to the pelvic floor. Wow, oh, because you're too far low. I think, no, I think I should have gone postpartum rather than earlier in the pregnancy. So it does more good going postpartum. I think I went early the third trimester. But I think the real work of pelvic floor therapy has to happen postpartum.

That would make more sense. And I didn't do that in between in those four months where I wasn't pregnant. And so then it's like, now I'm wrecked down there. Yeah. And you know what's crazy though, is that in those four months between the two pregnancies, I wasn't peeing my pants.

Really? It was only until I was pregnant. And the baby is not even like huge. Really? Really? Yeah. I think this baby is fully on my bladder. Dude, you've been paying your pants.

I want to say like at least like four times a day. Like it's been maybe even more than that. I'm wearing a bladder leak pad. Thank you boys bladder leak pads. We did an ad for this company that makes these bladder leak pads. And I was like, Oh, it was everyone turned a poise. Oh yeah, poise.

Okay, but like we didn't add for them on our YouTube channel. And we just had like all these pads laying around because at the time you weren't really paying your pants. I was using them more for. Oh, period stuff. No, you didn't think you're period. You never really. Just like postpartum bleeding.

Yeah, but now like we luckily have the stock pile of P pads because Abby's using them now. Before the only time I'd pay my pants is if I laughed really hard. Now it's like. No, it's like every day. It could be a cough, a sneeze, you like tickled me or something.

Really? Yeah, if Abby laughs really hard, especially, it was just like coming out like everywhere. Like you have to change your pants. Meaning, dairy say that. Do you pick one time? This is the funniest part. Can we say this?

No, I know, yeah, you had to tell this. On the cruise, Abby like looks at me dead in the eyes and says Matt, I am, there's pee running down my leg and I'm like no Right then a sweet person that views our videos. Oh my gosh Pums up and they asked for a picture me while there's a puddle fee on the floor. I am. P dripping down my leg and there's a puddle. I literally felt so vulnerable. I was like, we have to just run away. And you were sick and then you got me sick.

I'm sorry, I keep coughing on the podcast because I'm still like getting over being sick. And now, sweet griffin' sick. Yeah, I think we got griffin' sick, which sucks. But yes, P.P. puddle on the floor. And this girl, I still took a picture with her. We took a picture with this girl with this P.P. puddle on the floor. And this girl, I still took a picture with her. We took a picture with this girl, with this P.P. Puddle.

And then we just ran away. I feel so bad, but I wasn't gonna tell the person, like, maybe that's sad. I hope we've been stepping the P.I. didn't, I didn't pay close enough attention to see if the step in the P.P. Puddle. It wasn't like a massive one. We're talking about like,

maybe like two in, no, it was probably like solid like three or four inches. I tried not to look. In diameter. Yeah, yeah Diameter yeah, and I'm doing my pants Dude that's been that's been wild and I'm proud of you to not be afraid to talk about it Some sure there's other women out there. I really see why it's that embarrassing. Yeah What's funny is so many of the embarrassing things in life like everyone goes through and everyone experiences

So it's more fun to like laugh at yourself and then just like talk about it because everyone does embarrassing crap all the time. I mean I feel like it's kind of funny though it's also just because like I'm a mom like I had babies I have a magnet so it's like it's happening so it's right. But I just like never thought oh jumping jacks that's an workout in general I just keep being. Keep being during the workouts depending on the movement yeah anything. Anything jumping is gonna, it's gonna make that happen. Reach. So back to the doctor's appointment.

We, the synographer tells us that she was like, have you been feeling very many kicks? And I was like, honestly, I feel like I felt a lot more my first pregnancy at this point. And then she's like, it's because of the placenta. And we like kind of like learned about that. I don't really think there's any risks that come with that. Yeah, I think it's just like either in the front

or the back. And I think it's more likely to be in the back, but it's not a problem if it's in the front. Anyway, and so then she like, tells us about that. We see the baby. The baby had, he had his hands like by his face. And at this point, I was like pretty certain it was a boy

Dude, why did I just like looking at the baby? Couldn't even see like the private parts to know if it was boy girl But I was like that's yeah, that's a boy and then like in my head I was like why am I saying that like I literally have no idea I'm looking at a skeleton of a human and I'm just basing a skeleton off of a fist of where to and they're really bony at that point So it really was like a skeleton. Yeah, I don't know how those synographers don't ruin it for people that are like wanting to be surprised. Yeah, because like I would have What do you think it ruined it for our brother and sister in law?

but see yeah, we can actually so they kind of they told our brother and sister in law Well, like on the on screen, it said one gender, and then later on, she used a pronoun that was the opposite gender, and then they said it got really awkward, and she's like, I mean, they. Wait, what? So then now they're just having this mind game

of like, was it the gender that was on the screen or was it the gender that she said? Had to be the gender of the screen. Had to be the, why would they put the fake, the wrong gender? But it could have been just like auto-generated or something. I don't know. That doesn't make any sense.

Maybe hold up. What if the person that was doing the sonogram saw the, saw it on the screen and then was like, oh, frick. I need a, I need to confuse them so that they don't know the gender of their baby because they don't want to find out until the birth. And so then they said the wrong gender on purpose just so they could then say they to throw them off again. That's what happened. That had to be what happened. Well, who knows? Who knows? But anyway, yeah. So we...

So I'm like thinking it's a boy. But then I have to wait and do a whole like appointment at that point, which I don't even remember what they did. I think they just measured my belly and checked the heartbeat. Yeah. All I was thinking about at that point was like We're about to find out we're about to find out. Yeah, so we left the regular Doctor's appointment and then which by the way my nurse practitioner is leaving which is sad because I love her so much She's the best but that lady dang. Yeah And so that was my last appointment with her

sad But I love that lady. Dang. Yeah. Um, and so that was my last appointment with her. Correct. Sad. And then we headed to the car and I had to go to the bathroom so bad again, but you know what? I held it. Yeah, I went to the bathroom and you held your pee and that was pretty impressive giving the fact you've been paying your pants. So. Well, I had already pee during the appointment because they have you pee in the middle of the ultrasound before they do the, because they do the ultrasound on the belly and then they do the internal. But did you notice that when I, so I read the gender off of the card,

I found out before I was doing that. And I told Abby the gender of her baby. And I thought it was funny, well I thought it was funny that like, I try to throw you off. I like try to like, like react like all shocked, like it wasn't actually a boy,

because we were convinced there's more. I can read you like a book, Matt Howard. Do you think I was gonna fall you knew that I was acting yes you did 100% no you believed it no I did look back at the video no she totally felt no I said boy oh my god I said it's a boy yeah and you're like yeah yeah yeah and so well what our ultrasound tech did was she put like a little picture of the private parts oh my god and then a little card that said it had like muddy shoes on it.

And then inside it said, what does this say? Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails. That's a little boys are made of. That's what it said. You did not know. You had her, I remember that. I was saying it. I was remembering it.

Yeah. And so they did like something super cute. And not every doctor's office does that. So that was really sweet. And Matt told me and I just I got emotional again just because it just more than anything it just brings you closer to your baby. Yeah. You're like, oh, like it's kind of like a bonding experience where you feel like you know this unborn. That was the coolest thing I felt very bonded to our son right then and there, especially because of the fact

that we picked out the name about 15 minutes later for our baby. And yeah, I just, I felt so connected and now I still feel very connected. Like I really see them as the individual that they are and before, which is kind of like this unknown idea or thing. Like it didn't feel as real, but now that we know the gender

and have a name picked out, our baby boy feels extremely real to us. So that's what's cool. Something we didn't show in the vlog is that we went to brunch afterwards, which that has kind of become like a fun little tradition for us after like OB appointments or like baby appointments is we'll go to brunch.

Yeah, brunch. Into new brunch place. You got some churro. Which dude? Churro. Was it French toast? I think it was the churro French toast. Churro was at French toast. I think it was the Churro French toast you guys unbelievable if you're ever at a breakfast place and they're offering you churro French toast with ice cream you just have

to say yes or cinnamon roll pancake. We got that. It's our little it's our little tradition at a brunch we love getting brunch and we always get a sweet option and a savory option and we split them both. We know we never do. We never get alcohol, which you, I guess, yeah, you obviously can't have alcohol since you're pregnant. But I feel like that's been a good habit because you say you don't spend as much money and then I feel like what alcohol are you getting for breakfast? I guess I'm a Moses. Yeah, I'm a Moses. But no, then you save money and then you can go off to eat more.

Because like alcohol, make sure tap, it will go up by like 50%. Yeah, like when I went on my date on Saturday night and it was $47 just because we got water. Yeah. Anyway, so flash forward, fast forward. Yeah, well first we told a lot of our friends that couldn't make it to the gender reveal.

So we told our friends down in Bella, Mike and Ashley, Caleb and Abby, Caleb and Abby, our brother and sister-in-law couldn't make it to the gender reveal. Which is funny because like our whole entire families were at the gender reveal, just not the family that lives in Arizona with us. Yeah, which makes sense,

because we might have to try. We'll have to post some of those reactions. I don't think we ever posted down in Bella and Mike and Ashley's reaction. Which down was a little turd. Did you see on the Instagram picture? Yeah, I did. That paint looks so pink.

Yes. He fully knew it was a boy at that point. Okay, we did so many like little things to throw people off those hilarious. But no, yeah, we pulled. The paint was unintentional though. Oh, yeah, true. Because we did, okay, what Abby's referencing,

we did this photo shoot to announce the gender to our Instagram followers. And it was a black and white photo. Yeah, well, we posted initially a black and white photo to like tease everything because we didn't want people to know the actual gender yet. We let people know that it was coming. But the photo really did make it look pink.

It did. Because it was so light. Yes. I did not do that on purpose. I just picked out a baby blue. Yeah. But the blue just happened to be so light that it just appeared pink when it was in black and white. It was kind of weird.

So we did tell our friends before we left, I forgot that. We'll post those. All those people pretty much guessed right. They knew. They were around us, they got the vibe. Well, no, no, they didn't, Mike and Ashley guessed girl. Well, they changed their guess last second. They did.

They were thinking boy the whole time then they changed it. It's fun to mess with people. It's also really fun when you know the gender but nobody else does. It's just fun to screw around. Hey, real quick, if you could please leave our podcast review, it would mean the world to us. It only takes just a couple of seconds and you can do that on Spotify, Apple podcasts, or wherever you're listening to our podcast on. Seriously guys, it helps push it out to a lot more people

and it really, really does help us. So we'd really appreciate it. And if you're driving right now, please do not leave review while you're driving. You can just like, like pull over something. Just don't, please don't be unsafe. We would really appreciate your help in pushing the podcast out to more people and now back to the episode or you can even like share it with a friend. Hey, yeah, could you share this with the friend? Okay, thanks. Back to the episode. So we did a gender reveal party, which with our first son, Griffin, we had help with a party planner. So it was like very extravagant for us. I mean, it wasn't crazy.

No, it was extravagant. It was the balloon arches, like the marquee letters. Like it was, yeah, it was extravagant. It was really balloon arches, like the marquee letters. Like, it was, yeah. It was extravagant. It was really sweet. We had a lot of local vendors reach out to us when we moved to Arizona and they knew that we were expecting a baby. And they celebrated us.

They celebrated us a little. Yeah, and they're like, we just want to like, throw your January bill party. We're like, let's go. He had a cotton candy maker. Yeah, so nice of them. It was so fun and it was great because Matt and I, terrible planters. So then they kind of pulled it together for us and it was great because Matt and I were terrible planners.

So then they kind of pulled it together for us and it was incredible. It was felt so spoiled. It was so aesthetic. It was definitely a party that we would have never thrown on our own. Exactly. This is a shravagant. Very, yeah, they did an amazing job. But this year we didn't have some fancy bougie party.

It was just kind of thrown together. But my parents were so kind to open up their home. Yeah, they got together some decorations Yeah, it was very very nice and my parents to do that So we just ordered food to your parents house. We ordered chick-fil-a chicken minis We ordered paneras like pastries and coffee. Yeah, and bagels and Then your mom made like a bunch of of fruit and had some little desserts. Yeah, I think my grandma brought some fruit too. So it was.

But it was really cool. It was interesting because last year, it was mainly friends at the party. Not as many family members. We only had immediate family, and then my grandma, our parents, brothers and sisters, and sister-in-laws and stuff. But this year, we had like everyone from our family,

all of our aunts, uncles, cousins, griffins, every single one of Griffin's great grandparents was there, which was really, really precious. Yeah. And so that was really cool. What would you say, Abby, was your favorite gender reveal? This, this most recent one, or the one from last year? Oh my gosh, I really can't compare the two

because the first is so exciting. But then the second was just so precious. Like, it was so, honestly, probably the second, just because it was nice to have everyone that we love so much there. No, I agree. I think the first was incredible that we love so much there. No, I agree. I think the first was incredible. It was so much fun.

And while I don't want to pick favorites, I would agree that I think the second was maybe even a little more special, just because we had all our family there. The people make the experience. Exactly. It's like you don't need to have this picture perfect gender reveal if you have everyone that you love there. And sure, I would have loved, I wish we would have had more of our friends there.

And it would have been cooler to have more people. But the fact that we had pretty much all of our immediate and extended family made it really cool. Made it so meaningful. And yeah, that's true because like, gender reveal parties in general are pretty silly when you think about it. I mean, it's just a fun thing, and it's, I'm not doing any baby showers with a second baby, so it's kind of just a way, no. It's just kind of a way to celebrate this second baby, and I don't think people normally do it with their second.

Really? Because you kind of have all the stuff from the first. Yeah, we do have a lot of stuff. Yeah, how greedy are you gonna be, you know? Oh, I agree. And so, the gender reveal is just kind of a fun way to celebrate the second baby. And honestly, who doesn't love any reason to party

and get together with your loved ones? Oh totally, I mean look, social media has made gender reveals a thing. I feel like they never existed before. A lot of my family at the party actually said this is their very first gender reveal ever, which is hilarious. But it was fun just to have everyone together

and throw a little party. And we did it the day before Easter in the morning because we put it together last minute. So luckily everyone was already in town for Easter. So having like a gender reveal brunch just made it work out. And let me say I always think it's so incredible when we have both of our families together. They mesh so well.

And they mesh so well, it's such a blessing. So if it was just because of a gender reveal party, it's like, well, then I'm happy to throw a silly gender reveal party because it was just so nice to be with everybody and have everyone intermingle and know each other. Like, how crazy is it that my cousins know your cousins so well? And like, I don't know. It's cool that our and know each other. Like how crazy is it that like my cousins know your cousins so well?

And like, I don't know. It's cool that our cousins know each other. It's random, but I love it. Also, can we talk about in the January video, like all of our cousins are saying, hi, I'm your cousin once removed. Like we had to learn that day, we're like, what the freak is a cousin?

We should have just said cousin. I know, I mean, they're essentially just cousins, but I guess technically. You were getting really specific. But they're not technically, you know, our son's cousin. I know our son. Our cousins are in our kids' cousins.

They're cousins once removed, right? That's what it is. But now I don't know what a second cousin is. I forget. I thought they were second cousins, but they're not. Their cousins once removed. Well, did you know that the search bar on that tick-tock

was what is a cousin once removed? That's hilarious. second cousins, but they're not. Their cousins want you to do. Well, did you know that the search bar on that tick-tock was, what is a cousin wants to move? That's hilarious. Because some of you were like, wait, what? Oh my gosh. Yeah, so for my understanding, a cousin once removed is a cousin, but not in the generation, like not in the same generation.

So basically, it's your parents' cousins. Yes, so like all of my cousins are going to be our kids cousins want to remove. Because they're, yeah, my kids parents cousins, like Griffins parents cousins are cousins want to remove. You're confusing me more now. I knew what it was and then now you said that. And now I'm more lost.

If your parent has a cousin, wait, it's this simple. If your parent has a cousin, that, it's this simple. If your parent has a cousin, that's your cousin once removed. Done. Your parent's cousins are your cousins once removed. Yeah. Done, that's it. But now I don't know what a second cousin is.

I thought that's what a second cousin was. Yeah, that's what I thought a second cousin was. I'm so confused now. We'll have to Google that. And this one's easy. Your parents, aunts, and uncles are your great aunts and uncles. Yeah.

Anyway, but in the video, no, we had everyone give their guesses, and it seemed so stupid, right? It's like, why the freak do we care that much on, like, if it's a boy or a girl? It looked so staged though, because it was exactly 50-50. Oh, my gosh, yes! Your team guesses for a girl? 13 guesses for one. Yes, we had 26 people there, and that was the craziest part. We realized that once we made the video, I was like, holy freak, we literally had the exact same number of guesses for boy and girl we did not plan

that at all like people just did the random guesses and it just ended up being 50-50 that was crazy yeah I did look up what a second cousin was and it I'm even more confused you're even more confused now that yeah well I just again remember people that your parents cousins are your cousins once removed once removed I think it's your first cousin once removes kids that are your second cousins. Oh, that makes sense. Okay.

So, your family tree lesson. There we go, your cousins, once removed, if they have kids, those are your second cousins. Yes. Now that makes sense in my head, before I was so thrown off, but now that just makes sense. Yeah. I feel like the name should be switched though.

I think second cousins. Exactly. I feel like whoever made up the names and the definitions should be fired because the second would mean the second generation. They confused me. Yeah. Anyway, so we had the party. It was, it was a raging success. It really was. Everyone was so happy and just having a good time.

We ate a lot of chicken minis. Did we ordered a hundred and fifty dollars of Chick-fil-A chicken minis and we wiped them out. We had like ten chicken minis left and I think my brother ate them after the party. I don't want to barely eat anything. Which is shocking because they didn't, okay, Chick-fil-A, this was actually hilarious. The girl dropping off the catering from Chick-fil-A, we opened the door, and he was like,

She's a woman. She was like, holy crap, you're mad, Navi. And I'm like, hey, what up? And then my mom's, my mom runs the door, because she just like, whenever someone recognizes us, my mom thinks it's cool, and she wants to like meet them. It's really, I have the sweetest parents. So my mom was like, yeah, he grew up here,

and this is his house. I'm like, mom, you probably shouldn't be giving that out that information out there. But my mom was just excited. And my dad, I think got involved too. And anyway, which by the way, you can't tip Chick-fil-A catering. Yeah. We went to go because my parents were like, are you tipping the catering? And I'm like, yes, I am. And I went to go tip this girl. And she was like, sorry, I don't accept tips. It's not allowed in her policy. And she was gonna get a great tip because we had $100 bills from a throwback from down in Bella's gingerbread house party.

If you know our friends down in Bella, they had a Christmas party. And then a competition that we somehow won didn't deserve it. We won $500 or $500. But we don't have, we never carry cash. I'm like, I don't, I never went to go to deposit to $500. So we just kept giving it away to people.

So we gave away, we gave away $100. One time I went to, I went to Cafe Rio and this girl recognized us from TikTok. And I was like, and she was so nice. And then everyone on their team was really nice. So I was like, you know what? They get a hundred dollar tip today. And then we gave it to, oh.

They two workers have a cruise. Yeah, we, we tipped people on the cruise ship. And then, yeah, the girl that was dropping off the chick flay, we almost gave her $100, but then she said she couldn't take it. So, but we didn't tell her how much money. So I feel like now if she was watching this back, she would have been like, oh, freak.

But now, now if we say this out loud, though, we no longer have cash and we never carry cash on us. So now I'm like, crap, like that was kind of like a fun thing to bless people, because that's this out loud though, we no longer have cash and we never carry cash on us. So now I'm like crap, like that was just kind of like a fun thing to bless people because I was just like, hey, you need to go take out more $100 bills for random. Do we're running out of money if we keep 10 people $100? What are we gonna use it for?

I don't know, but it's funny though, like with cash, I never, I hate cash. Like I just like, when I have cash, I'm like, I need to get rid of it. I do wish I had it though, because when people ask for money, I'm like, oh, yeah. No, but with help. I don't have anything.

But if someone is homeless, like, I want to give them like food, because I feel like you don't know if they have like a drug addiction, and you don't know if they could go take that money and end up using it on something that wouldn't help them. So I like, I wish we would have like, we need to have like little food bags in our car so we can give them like something to help them. I know, we should just go like petal or something that's not going to melt in the car. Yeah, because I like to donate to charities rather than giving money out to people

who are asking for money, because I think the charities do a lot more good than you can do. I think it's fine to give out money everyone's money, but you do not want to help them hurt themselves if they're dealing with addiction. Exactly. Well, I think charities do a good job

of helping people back, getting people back on their feet, getting them job interviews, rehabilitated exactly. And so I think donating to those is cool. But anyway, um... So the gender reveal party was super fun. Very, very fun. And then the next day was just that whole weekend was crazy.

We went to my grandpa's 80th birthday party. Yeah. He's a twin. He was on the podcast. So if you haven't seen the episode with Terry, go back and reference that. He's a twin. He was on the podcast. So if you haven't seen that episode with Terry, go back and reference that. He's 80 now. 80. And he's Chipper than ever. Yeah. And that was fun. We got to hang out with this. Yeah. Well, we had an Easter celebration that night of the gender reveal with your family. We did. Yes. Oh, wait. Oh, yeah, we had Easter. We celebrated Easter.

You had like a long nap in between the two events that probably felt like a new day for you. Yeah, you're right. I did take a long nap. I barely slept that night before. And that was a fun Easter gathering. It always is. Matt's family get together.

You go hard. Our marathons. We go hard. Yeah. They are like eight hours usually. Yeah, they're fun. It's sweet. That's why you have such a good relationship with your family.

It's sad though because. it's been time together. Now that my uncle's and aunt and everyone is getting older, I feel like we don't go as hard. We used to play so many sports games. We'd have full on football games, on Easter and Christmas and stuff. And now that people are getting older, I feel like my uncle's aren't as down to tackle each other.

Well, because there were some major injuries at those of us. Oh, yeah, I literally knocked one of my uncles teeth at one time when I was a kid. Sorry, Uncle Bob about that. Yeah, I'd be less eager to play. We were playing wall ball, and I elbowed him in the face. I was literally reaching for the ball, but like my hand went up like this,

and then I just whacked him in the face, and it literally- Didn't you have to get like a root canal or something? Yeah, well he, I guess he broke his teeth off, getting out of a hot tub when he was in his early 20s. And so I hit those like fake teeth and then I messed me up, deepened his like, I pushed it up.

Yeah, and so he had to get like a root canal or something, whatever that is. It was pretty bad. Sorry Uncle Bob. I hate denture. I did that when I was 12, okay? It's been a long time. It's been 12 years. Okay, and then didn't somebody else break something?

I think my brother broke my, my uncle's rib when they were wrestling. Wait, your uncle Bob too? Not Uncle Bob, this is Uncle Brett. No, okay. So, if you guys watch our January Ville video, my uncle Brett is the one that said he's the greatest uncle. He meant to say great uncle, but he just wanted to do a play on words and say he's the greatest uncle.

And Caleb was wrestling him and he literally cracked one of his ribs. Um, so, and Caleb's my older brother. So we get, yeah, it's crazy. One time Caleb was trying to impress my sister in law, Abigail Howard, and he, we were wrestling in front of Abigail for whatever reason. We were in high school. He's trying to impress his girlfriend. And he picked me up and body slammed me onto the living room floor. Yeah, the wind knocked out of me. So hard

that I couldn't even breathe for a couple of seconds. Did I impress her? No, she was very upset. She was like, you're a monster. She was like, why are you? Why are you chucking your brother on the floor of the living room, you wacko? And I was saying the same thing, but I couldn't even breathe. I was just laying there. I couldn't even breathe. Trying to be like, I was trying to be mad at thing, but I couldn't even breathe. I was just laying there, I couldn't even breathe. It's trying to be like, it was trying to be mad at Caleb, but I couldn't even like, get a breath in because I had no air in my lungs. Then now I guess we just,

I got off subject. Where the freak are we in the conversation? I guess you could just talk about where we are now, like how we feel about. Well, yeah, let's talk about you. How do you feel right now? Because you are, wait, holy crap, are you 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow?

Yes. Holy crap. 24 is the week of viability too. No. So you could have this baby tomorrow, Wait, holy crap, are you 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow? Yes. Holy crap. Wait. 24 is the week of viability, too. No. So you could have this baby tomorrow, and our baby would be fine. Has a chance of survival.

Yeah, I'm sure. That's kind of morbid. Let's not think about that. But that just means that the baby is pretty developed at this point. That is crazy. I'm feeling good. The bump is definitely starting to show a lot. And we're fast approaching the third trimester

What is that this one a while is that 27 weeks? Maybe 28 oh My gosh, we're like we're like less than a month away essentially, you know, I feel like I feel like just recently I've just like been so excited and it feels so real like I can totally see like picture how life is gonna be Obviously, I've no idea how I'm gonna feel with like having two kids but I will say yesterday I don't know if it's yesterday before I was like opening the drawers in my bathroom and I opened my like it's like a drawer that's designated to post part of yeah it's like the diapers the derma-plast, the spray bottles, like the squirt bottles. Gosh, Abby.

And I cannot lie, Dread did kind of consume me. It's like, okay, remember when you first mentioned those devices, first time around last year. The Perry bottles? It was almost like a recovery kit for torture. Like, it's what I could think of. Cause like, you literally have these diapers for all this blood and goop and liquid

and just so what I just don't, I feel bad for you. I really do. If I wasn't, I'm nervous for raps. Obviously, the reward that you get of giving birth is the most incredible gift you could ever think of. But. I mean, I feel empowered moving into my second birth, but I also feel like now because I know

the nerves are a little different. Yeah. Like maybe a little bit more raw, anyway. Did you get that you fork feeling or whatever they describe after having a baby where you just like forget, you literally forget about all the pain and suffering. I did, and I think it kind of came back.

Really? Like, with this second pregnancy, I like remembered. I think what freaks me out the most is like, didn't you feel each and every stitch as it went into you, like every single needle going into you? I can't even tell you that pain has nothing, nothing compared to contractions with no epidural. And the full patosin.

You're kidding. When I like experience that. You, you like contractions are worse than me taking a needle right now and going in and out of my skin. One hundred percent. Like like putting needles like in my skin right now is like open wound in the most sensitive part of your body.

Yeah. And a needle going in and out of it and the contractions are worse. Gosh. And I can't add it. Shockingly enough, I feel like pushing was like, it was more intense, but not even as bad as the could, you know, I would take those pushing more.

Will you be getting the effort? How much because you know it's coming, like you're almost to the end. Will you be getting the epidural quicker this time? Yes, I will be getting the epidural quicker this time. Probably. I mean, it all depends on if I get induced again I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, mean, I mean in a way. I mean, I know I still had some of my system, but. But you felt a lot.

Yeah. I did. Because we see other people's birth videos and we're like, oh, that looks way more peaceful than what Aguent went through. No, it's all good. I'd will say, I don't know if I'm, I actually might be a little bit more nervous this time. But what I'm the most like, oh boy, here we go,

like that's gonna be a mountain decline is the initial breast feeding. Because remember how freaking engorged I got? That's yeah. That was so painful and it lasted for like, I googled like how long engorged breasts normally happen after like your milk comes in. Yeah. It was like maximum two days

I had it for way more than two days. They were like two massive rock heart aliens on me Yeah, we're just constantly squirting out milk. You took a picture. It hurts so bad. Yeah, I know I have I remember seeing the pictures show you show you're your like girl like I show my girlfriends that picture I don't want to be like oh my gosh. No guy needs to see that photo. I that's only for my eyes Well, Matt even through even through shirts, though. I felt like I was walking around with like yeah I saw the picture recently and I was I'm so shocked like I didn't know that remember my I know who's could get that big okay? You remember my armpit? Yes, they call him pitties. Yeah, pitties Pitties wait, that's actually the official name well, I think it's a nickname. It's like an armpit. Pitties. So we actually have to tell the story. So I don't know where I was from.

Two titties. Two titties. I'm sorry. That's disgusting. Anyway, and I know this is actually a very not glamorous part of pregnancy, but I think I was probably about this same stage of pregnancy with Griffin. When I noticed my left armpit was like swollen And it was like kind of weird like the way it felt was weird and so we went into the doctor and they're like I'm pretty sure it's nothing but like you should see like a Mammographer. Oh, it's like a to get a mammogram. So yeah, mammographer would make sense. I went and got a mammogram Fact check us on that because I I don't even know for sure. And they just kind of paw at my breast

and then they like examined the armpit area and they did like an ultrasound of my armpit. Yeah. To make sure it wasn't anything to be concerned about, turns out milk glands go all the way up. You know how animals have several utters like cats and dogs and cows? Yes.

Humans have that too, but only one is exposed. So much up one. And it's this happening again. My armpits all fluffy again. You have a pity in your armpit. I have a pity. But only one pity, not two pitties. This one's a little bit, but it's mostly this one.

I remember how bad it got after birth. I have a picture of it. It's like a donut. You stuck a needle up that thing with milk shootout. I don't know. I hope not. Oh, so it's kind of painful too though. That is still the craziest concept of me. It's ugly.

It's not ugly. But it's the craziest concept to me that you're able to produce milk and feed our baby and that your body feeds our baby and you're feeding a baby and growing a baby and also taking care of yourself. You're sustaining three lives right now. Your one life is sustaining three. That's insane. I still... I'm pretty pooped.

That's crazy. That is the thing. I am pretty tired. Yeah. I go away. When it gets to nine o'clock, wait, screw that. When it gets to seven o'clock,

I'm like, you're out. That's like the last little stretch before Griffin goes down. I'm like, dig deep, Abby, we gotta keep going. I have to get through it. But yeah. Yeah, it's like a weird thing though, because like once you put your baby down, like I should go right to bed. But then I'm like, I want my time. Like I want like a little bit of, you know? Totally. Adult interaction. Yes, adult interaction is important. And that's where I stay up past. We need to talk to each other more

because we've gotten in the habit of at night, we'll just turn on a movie or a show. Just the past week, you were sick. Yeah, I was sick too. And I get it, sometimes we don't want to talk to each other, we just want to be together. It's a local day, but not like about fun stuff. Yeah, we should talk about fun stuff more.

Like I want you to ask me how I'm feeling like every single day. I'm multiple times today. I think I did that the other day. I was like, how are you feeling? I can be better about that. But when was that? I can definitely be better. When did you say that?

How are you feeling, by the way? You don't want to answer my questions. When was that? I want to say two days ago. Mm. Yeah. How are you feeling? Very big. I don't remember that. Right now I feel pretty good.

I'm really hoping I can go to the gym after this and get my energy back up. Oh, you're going to the gym today? It's hoping to leave around three. You are a gym addict, which is a good thing. I'm not a victim. You kind of are addicted. You love it.

I love it, but does that mean I'm addicted? You're the type of person that would be in some sort of race and describe that as fun. You did do a Spartan race and you said it was fun. said I'm out of runner though. Yeah, but you like the obstacles I saw something once it was like do people that run know that they don't have to do that I was like I really feel that yeah, but apparently there's like this crazy high you get if you're like a marathon runner Or something apparently you get this wild high and my buddy Derek Beiston who ran a marathon this past year Told me the same thing. He's like dude. It's the most insane feeling and you have to do it I'm like I will never I don't think you're ever to, who ran a marathon this past year, told me the same thing. He's like, do it.

It's the most insane feeling and you have to do it. And I'm like, I will never, I don't think you're ever to catch me running a marathon. Maybe a half marathon. No, I couldn't. The most I can do is a five. What'd you do? You would never even do a half?

I could. How many miles? I think you could. It's like over 13. Yeah, no. There's no way I can do that. Oh, frick, is it 13 point? Nor do I really want to.

13 point one. If I put my mind to it, I probably could, but, I think you see those stickers on people's cars that say like 13 point one, and that is. No, truly, I don't think I have the aerobic capability. I think if you trained for it, you could do it. My heart rate is like already so high. Yeah, you do have a crazy fast heart rate. But the feelings I feel, the top feeling exhaustion,

second feeling, back pain. Actually, no, that exhaustion, second feeling, back pain. Actually, no, that's the top feeling, back pain, then exhaustion, always hungry. Very hormonal, but I mean, that's to be expected. That's true, yeah. I probably cry every day nowadays, right? Yeah, is there another, I know you obviously want me to ask you, how are you feeling? Is there another question that I can do a better job of asking? Does to check in on you, make sure you're doing okay. What can I do to help you right now?

What can I do to help you right now? Yeah, I could probably be better about asking that of you too. Can I say this though? I think, okay, and this is something that I can do better, but I think sometimes when I ask you, what can I do to be more helpful right now, I think you're much just like,

you want me to just like do something without you having to tell me what it is, right? Because I did ask you. You sometimes you need me to hold your hand too much. Like if I was to just say something and then it happens, but then it's always like, where's this? Where I'm like, have you looked? But I think part of the reason I do that

is sometimes you're very specific about the way that you like things done. And so I don't want to do something and then you not like the way that I do it. I'm pretty chill. For the most part, but there are some things like the way the dishwasher is loaded for instance. I didn't touch anything, I just ran it. Okay, oh you did.

Yeah. So recently, like... And I emptied that. There was an issue with the dishwasher loading recently. Well, I just don't think that it was loaded in the most practical way. Okay, okay, that's fair. I mean, you can do your way. I think the big way was there was,

I put, well actually it wasn't me. It was, I think our sister-in-law who was watching Griffin put a sheet pan in the dishwasher. And usually we don't put the sheet pan in the dishwasher, but we left it in there. And how was that experience for you to leave the sheet pan in there? It was free.

I'm pretty sure the sheet pan got very cleaned. Like that's a very clean sheet pan at this point. I don't think they're supposed, I don't think it's a very clean sheet pan at this point. I don't think they're supposed, I don't think it's dishwasher safe, though, to be honest. Really? I don't know. You can put a lot of crap in the dishwasher that's not dishwasher safe and it turns out okay.

It's just those freaking Tupperware containers when they get melted. Like if you put them in, if the water's too hot and then like melt your Tupperware. That's happened. Yeah, that's never fun. That's a bad day. That is a bad day.

Well, how are you feeling Matt? How am I feeling? How has this pregnancy been for you? I wasn't talking about being sick. I keep coughing on this podcast by the way. Yeah. It lingers. It lingers.

It's lingering. I can't get rid of the cough. But no, how am I feeling? I really believe that we have the best years ahead of us. I really do. Recently I was envisioning like having another physical boy and like in addition to Griffin and that was just like the cutest thing ever. I just think that like I feel like he's gonna be a repulcov Griffin. I think they're gonna look the same. I don't know why.

I think they're gonna look the exact same. I think they're gonna look like their mom and I yeah I just think it's gonna be so cool for them to be buddies and get to play together. Yeah. And they're gonna, I just think I can picture them like giggling together and tickling each other and just like playing sports and just doing everything together and- But then some more commenting that like do you think they're gonna be best little friends but they probably are gonna be our genemies. That could also happen. What if they fight?

They're gonna fight. I'm sure they'll have a phase where they don't like each other. I'm sure, I think a lot of siblings have that. You had it with your brother. You and your brother hated each other for a little bit. Yeah, we were head to head for a while. But at this point though, your adults and you guys get along great. I feel like usually people come around by the time.

Like I feel like there's a silent truth that happens once you move out of the house. Yeah. And you're no longer living under the same roof. It's kind of like, yeah. We're done here. Totally. We'll not be friends.
