We’re officially into the third trimester and feeling both protected and prepared. This week we talk about finding redemption in small traditions (hi, Breeden’s Orchard 🍎), what pregnancy weight gain really looks like and why it’s healthy, and an iron-supplement routine that’s finally working. We also unpack our different “calendar brains” (24-hour vs. weekly) and how that impacts friendships, hobbies, and making space for each other as we head into parenthood.
Plus: navigating different beliefs and holidays with kids, pop-culture check-ins, what we’re watching (from Critical Role to Only Murders in the Building), and our Words of the Week. Cozy vibes, honest talk, and a little mead by the fire pit.
