On THIS WEEK’s episode – We’re diving into a juicy Q&A about s*x, intimacy, and date nights post-baby (and other Qs but that's the juicy stuff)! We talk all things keeping the spark alive as parents, navigating intimacy while breastfeeding, and how we've avoid falling into any sort of "roommate phase" (disclaimer: we know, we know - we're still new at this). We also touch on some of your other questions like managing anxiety around milk supply, coping with a tough pregnancy, and tips for taking your baby everywhere (yes, even to a hockey game 4 hours away!). And of course, we’ve got some hilarious parenting confessions (well - I think they are hilarious... I think Harrison says "not funny" like 10x) and a talk about sl*tty pumping (don’t ask, just listen). As always, if you're here for parenting advice, don’t get too excited – we’re just figuring it out along the way and sharing our experiences with you.

Chapter 1: How do you keep romance alive post-baby?
I just swallowed a lot of ice, so... I went and I got barbecue today by myself. And I think that getting barbecue by myself may be my favorite thing to do.
A lot of people have a problem eating alone. Like, have you heard about this? Well, females have a problem eating alone. Do males? Do you guys care? I love it. Like, I prefer to eat alone. I love sitting at a bar. Like, not at a bar that's a bar, but at the bar at a restaurant, right?
Just got a pound of brisket, half pound of turkey, and... You like eating alone, though? Oh, is it? Well, if it's the right food and I can focus on the food, loved it.
So you had a real sensory experience with your Terry Blacks.
Yeah. I think it's the best.
That's exciting.
I really think it's the best barbecue in the world.
You, like, absolutely love it.
Yeah, really do.

Chapter 2: What to do if you feel like you're in a roommate phase?
Yeah, I had such a traumatic experience at the dentist where they're charging me more money and more money and more money. So it's funny. I'm a little annoyed at you today, so, like, hopefully you bringing this up first lets me bring my guard down. So it was a smart move by you, the podcast, because I was just kind of going to sit here and be snappy, but now I'm kind of getting into the vibe.
Is it chess not checkers or checkers not chess?
Chapter 3: How can you manage anxiety around milk supply?
I hate you. Okay. So here's what's going on. So I go in. I actually have a great cleaner. I actually really like this cleaner. She's awesome.
Hygienist.
My hygienist. She's awesome. And so I always request her and then the dentist keep rotating. But on my way out, they...
come and they stop me and they tell me that i owe i owe a thousand dollars and i thought this had been settled hasn't been settled but i've got to the bottom of what happened so when i first showed up there they sat me down and they asked me if i wanted a deep clean i said yes and
Chapter 4: What tips do you have for enjoying pregnancy?
They went to my insurance provider and they checked my insurance provider's website to see one, if the deep clean was covered. And then two, looked at the list of services to see if any, I received any services that had limits on them. There was no listed service of a deep clean. So they gave me the deep clean. Then they filed the claim with my insurance provider.
And my insurance provider's like, well, he had a deep clean in the past 12 months. And they're like, well, it's not listed on the website. There's no record of history for the deep clean. They're just like, too bad. He had one. So now I'm stuck paying $1,000.
For a deep clean?
Chapter 5: How do you take your baby everywhere?
For a deep clean.
But a deep clean shouldn't be $1,000.
Yeah, the whole thing's a scam.
You've always said dentists are running a scam.
Yeah, this is my newest one.

Chapter 6: What are parenting confessions that are relatable?
Chapter 7: How to handle babysitter cancellations?
Chapter 8: What are the key lessons learned about date nights?
That's crazy. Yeah. Every three months?
Every three months. Have you not noticed that a lot of people, they get a lot of plaque buildup? And I'm very not into the plaque buildup.
No, no, no. Plaque buildup actually is hereditary. So I actually don't get plaque buildup ever. I don't think I've ever had plaque on my teeth.
Oh. Look at you.
Well, no, it's just genetics, I think. Do you have plaque on your teeth? Like, not that you can see the plaque, obviously, but is that... Well, I mean, there's a reason why I go.
I go to keep them clean.
Yeah, you do. You keep them... Would you get your teeth whitened?
I just swallowed a lot of ice, so... I went and I got barbecue today by myself. And I think that getting barbecue by myself may be my favorite thing to do.
