Chapter 1: Who are the sisters-in-law and what are their pregnancy stories?
Welcome back to the Unplanned Podcast. I am so excited today to be joined by my sweet sister-in-laws, Addie and Abby, who are both pregnant right now. This is literally the best year ever. I'm so convinced that this is just going to be the happiest year. We're going from having between the three of us, three to five, almost doubling. That's very impressive. That's a summer camp.
We can't go to dinner together anymore. Maybe we could with five.
How many adults though?
That's aggressive.
There'd be six adults and five kids. If it was just us. A table for eleven.
No, we can't go out to eat together anymore. We will just host... Ja, wir hoffen es. Wir hoffen es.
Es ist ehrlich gesagt besser, wenn die Kinder nicht an der Table sitzen. Oh mein Gott, das ist so erstaunlich. Okay, also Addy, du bist... Okay, warte. Zuerst einmal für Verklarierung. Addy ist mit meinem Bruder verheiratet und hat ihr erstes Baby. Und Abby ist mit meinem Mannsbruder verheiratet. Und sie haben ihr zweites Baby. Und es gibt hier einfach viel zu sprechen. Weil das ist...
Das ist so spannend. Ich liebe es, über Babys und Geburtstagen zu sprechen. Wenn ich jemanden zum ersten Mal treffe, dann frage ich mich manchmal, weil ich nicht weiß, ob es eine komplizierte Geschichte gibt. Also warte ich meistens auf, dass sie mir den ersten kleinen Knall geben. Und dann bin ich so, okay, also wann... Okay. Okay. Just a little bit of milk.
Just a little bit of milk with a little bit of honey. That's so cute. Yeah, I know. Ashley gave him his own mug yesterday. She saw a Stitch mug. He really likes Stitch. And he was just walking around with the other kids with his little, actually ceramic, like breakable mug. Wow. And I was like, you're an adult.

Chapter 2: How did Addy and Abby find out they were pregnant?
I was like, fair. But you know what, why do I even believe her? Because she's been wrong about every single guess she's made, ever. Statistically, that's not even likely either. That's just as unlikely as predicting it. It's pretty impressive. It's impressive. So, I'm mad.
So we had a gender reveal party, but just for like family and friends to tell them all, but we already had known it was a girl, so that was really fun.
So fun. Abby, do you want to tell Addy your philosophy on finding out the gender? What's my philosophy? That it's cheating! I'm like, I'm just gonna do it.
I think it's a middle child thing. The reason I'm against this is because straight from your own mouth, after having CJ, you're like, next time I'm gonna need to know. I did say that. And I was like, okay, good. Because you wanted a girl. The fact that you remember that is for you.
And I was like, I'm gonna hold her accountable to this because I am of the opinion that the day your baby is born could not get more excited. You've maxed out. In fact, I overmaxed out to the point where I don't even like really cry when I hold my baby because I'm just kind of like... It's a lot. It's emotion overload. Like I cry about like the littlest of things.
So then when that happens, I'm like, I can't cry right now. It's kind of like we've dissociated. Maybe it's because I don't cry about the other stuff that I'm like, I need the moment. Oh, okay. You know what I mean? With CJ finding out that he was a boy was the craziest feeling ever. Laying there on the table with my arms strapped down.
Yeah, I was like, based on watching you, I couldn't tell that it was the craziest moment ever. I was like, wow. Ja, ich... Ich habe mir gedacht, wir werden nicht mal einen Krankenhaus für dieses Baby haben, bis das Baby hier ist. Also habe ich nichts wirklich geplant. Also habe ich gesagt, lass uns einfach die großen Momente für den großen Tag retten.
Siehst du, für mich, wenn ich krank bin, habe ich beide Male einfach so gefühlt, dass Dinge in meinem Körper passieren. Und ich muss mir erinnern, dass das passiert, weil da ein Baby drin ist. Und dann bin ich wie ein Baby als Person, das mein Sohn oder Tochter ist. Ich fühle mich, als hätte ich einen schwierigen Zeit, es zu verarbeiten, es zu bemerken, auch wenn ich es,
Ich fühle mich wirklich mit meinem Körper verbunden, aber ich weiß auch nicht, was das ist, wie es hier im Körper ist. Und so hat ein Gender mir geholfen, meine Meinung umzusetzen, weil dann kann ich vielleicht den Namen geben und anfangen, einfach zu processen, weil ich normalerweise einfach Dinge tue und dann bin ich so, wow, nach dem Moment, in dem ich processiere.
