But I just remember you were like, are you pregnant? And I was like, yeah? And you're like, what? What? And my favorite part when I told you that was like, how long have you been freaking holding on to this? How long have you known? And I was like three minutes?

People got on weeks ago, maybe months ago. I know. Welcome to freedom, babe. Welcome to freedom. You could show it all now. It's out and about. How do you like these outfits? They're so comfortable.

would you like to tell the people what you call these it looks like it just looks like sliding shorts to go all the way up to your shoulders i think i called them the condom of of clothing but you did besides the point you did um i don't feel like i dressed like this with any other pregnancy but with this one specifically i'm already so uncomfortable i don't i don't want to do tights I don't want to do tight sports bras. I just need the sleeve. The comfy sleeve. Oh, man.

We're pregnant. We're pregnant. Yeah, it happened. How many times you've been pregnant? This will be four. You're a veteran at this at this point. Maybe five. We can't confirm, but we think.

I'm excited to do this again with you. Thank you. Here we are. I feel like if we looked at past, pregnancy announcements we were a little more energetic you know yeah no jet woke up at 4 a.m yeah and we're doing the parent thing we're doing the thing we definitely as you can see waited a lot longer this time to tell you guys and I'm not going to lie it's a little bittersweet I've kind of loved having it to be ours I feel like so much of our life is just so chaotic and every single aspect is shared

amongst the world, if not people within our household and our work and just like everything. And this has been so fun to just kind of have between us. It's been a fun couple weeks, but I'm also excited. I mean, we share a lot of things intentionally. We do. Because we love it. Yes. Yeah.

And I'm excited to intentionally share this as well. Absolutely. This was our choice. We wanted to share. We also very quickly figured out we can't hide this much longer. Only so many baggy shirts that you could wear. People got on weeks ago, maybe months ago. I know.

But now we are officially announcing that we're pregnant and could be more excited. We have already, what have we already done? I mean, without getting into the weeds too much, because we'll share all that later. We are about halfway, which is wild. Is that right? Yes. Wow I guess that's about right

It's about right Dang Do we know the gender yet? We do not And Do you want to tell them What we're going to do this time? You got it

We are not going to find out The gender this time We're going to do One last big surprise I have kind of said This will be The last go around Why

Because babe You give me Very large babies that take a very large toll on my body. And I, if we are wanting more children after this, I'm so down, but I'm down for like adopting and going down different routes. I mean, after the first one, I was like,

I think we might be good at one. Then we had two and then you start having fun with it. I don't know what three will be like. It either goes one of two ways. People say it's like, oh, it's no big deal. You already have two. You already have the whole thing to figure it out. Or people are like, three kids broke me.

Yes. So we'll let you know how that goes for us. But I am super open to having more kids. But I guess this is where the conversation of marriage takes place. And it's like, you know, I'm not the one who gets pregnant. Yeah. And I'm going to respect. I got two beautiful kids, hopefully a third soon.

And not to like get too far into that. but I know there are more options and I could probably have another pregnancy and stuff but this will be my third C-section given after our first delivery with Drew we are kind of required to do C-sections from here on out three C-sections on my body has taken a very large toll and I think in just preserving my body as a mom

not selfishly like being able to like run around after my kids and stay healthy I think my OB would even be like three is a good number for C-sections. Let's maybe not go for a fourth C-section. I don't even know if she was all on board with three. She was. We had the conversation.

Okay. We had the conversation and she was like, you know what? You have healthy pregnancies. You carry well. You go through them well. You recover well. Totally down.

Now, if I were to go back to her and be like, round four, Doc, I think she'd be like, four C-sections is a lot. You know my mom had three V-backs? Wild. Good for her. Five kids, three V-backs.

I have been told a V-back isn't really in the cards for me. No, I'm good with it. I can't believe you're pregnant again. I can't either. It's like looking at you with your little bump. You're adorable pregnant. I love you pregnant. But it's like everyone, like you forget.

Yeah. It's such a long process. Nine months is a long time. You're telling me. You have the baby and it's like bump is gone. It's not even top of mind anymore. And then you're like, oh yeah. I guess I've seen you pregnant a lot the last couple years.

Yeah. So I'm used to it now. It's weird. Not in like a dramatic way, but I do feel like I've been in complete denial for the past four plus months. So it was around our anniversary to go back. We had been trying, we had been trying quite a while for this one. Since Jett's first birthday. That's what we, with Drew, we started trying and got pregnant immediately.

With Jett at his first birthday, we started trying. And it was a rocky road. It was. It wasn't like, we were still very blessed, very lucky. We didn't have to go through extra measures. But we were doing like the modern fertility route. We were doing all the tests. everything and

we never went down we were very lucky not to have to go down like IVF and kind of intervened that way but it was kind of hard each month trying actively and not getting a result I do think we lost one pregnancy in there which was kind of hard

it wasn't like fully confirmed because it was kind of on I don't know that marker of time that would have been like a period but no it was like three weeks after yeah all the so yeah all the so yeah is that why you were a hesitant to share this pregnancy yeah I think I had kind of a I hate to say that but like a doomsday mentality from the beginning of I don't know I they can't possibly be but can't

possibly be pregnant can't possibly stick I got all up in my head because I went to Dude, my acupuncturist, when I was pregnant, and he's like, I can't detect it. And I don't know. I was just like, I don't know. I think that was like the day you miscarried. I don't know how many videos I have of you taking a pregnancy test. Yeah.

Ugh. And there was one or two that were positive. Which always ended in a fight, and I'm so sorry. It did. It was an emotional couple months, to be honest with you. It's so exciting because I would get these feelings each month of like, oh, maybe, maybe this time. and I would get antsy

and I'd take pregnancy tests early and whatever but each time we would get excited and want to film it because we wanted that reaction of a positive test and going into every test I'd be like baby

like I don't know if I want to film this I'm really scared of the outcome will be and we would decide to film it and then it would be negative and I would just get pissed but it's because I was sad you should have told me that in the moment it's hard to process in the moment

I get that because like I'm also scared I was also scared to have a third it's scary to go down the pregnancy route again because it's just like so much is out of your control and each month that we wouldn't get pregnant I'd be kind of like oh okay but also like

it sucks it hurts it's sad it's pretty humbling to think it took us six or seven months of trying to get pregnant which is also I want to put out there not that long that's what I'm saying it's like dang people try for years yes that's why we are so lucky but think about the emotions we went through in that six months people go through that for years we're lucky yeah you know what I'm saying but so it was around our anniversary and you know the time and place

American Ninja Warrior in LA well for sure that That was conception. I was not what I was talking about. I'm talking about we are on our road trip across the country. And it was right around our anniversary in April. And I was like, I had this feeling. I was just, I was so bloated. And I have been, before getting pregnant,

I had been working so hard on like my nutrition and working out and getting my body just feeling so good. and I could tell something was off. I was like, what is happening? I need to talk to my trainer. I need to talk to my nutritionist. And then all of a sudden it clicked. And I was like, huh, am I pregnant?

And I thought it was, it got to the point where I was, like, convinced. I was like, I know I am. And it was our anniversary day. And I was so convinced that we were pregnant. And I was like, let's go get a pregnancy test. Do you remember this? We were in Dallas.

Yeah, I remember this. this? You were so mad at me. I was so maddy. What do you mean to remember this? We took the pregnancy test. He filmed. It came back negative and I was so so discouraged. I was like, what

is happening? And then another week goes by and I still hadn't gotten my period and I was like, what is happening? Took more pregnancy tests. They were negative. And I was like, this is wild. I mean, Sean was literally saying,

she was like, I feel bloated. I haven't gone to the bathroom in days. Was that still going on? Yes. Or is that just an excuse? No. Both things were happening? So you were bloated double time?

Yes. Oh, gosh. Yes. That sounds terrible, dude. My body was like freaking out. And in my mind, I was like, I am pregnant. What, like, why aren't these tests happening? That's why I went to the acupuncturist.

And he's like, I'm not really detecting anything. And it was like a couple days later. I took another one because I still hadn't gotten my period. And I was like, pregnant. I was like, I freaking knew it. Why did it take so long? The due date is around my dad's birthday, which I'm really excited. We won't share the exact date.

But that would be really special. You do need to explain the acupuncturist thing because, like, this guy is not just a normal acupuncturist. No. He's like an Israeli special forces, like highly trained, medic. he's a magician and he kind of like he feels the pulse is that what he does he can basically in eastern medicine within acupuncture he can feel when you get pregnant your blood volume doubles and he can basically tell like the changes in your body like in the blood volume he can

feel a pulse in the baby um like when he takes your pulse he can feel two pulses and I've gone to him for years through miscarriages, through everything. I have a lot of faith in... I do both Eastern and Western medicine. I love both. So when things weren't kind of like... When I wasn't getting positive pregnancy test, but I also wasn't getting a period,

I was like, what is happening? So I went to him, and he's like, I'm not detecting anything. I don't know. I got all up in my head. And then she filmed it, and guess who didn't get mad was me. My favorite part when I told you that was like,

how long have you been freaking holding on to this? How long have you known? And I was like three minutes? And he died laughing. Oh, that was a good night. I remember that forever. Yeah. I'll remember that.

By the way, the Western Eastern medicine, so I grew up with Western medicine. So like, you know, pharmaceuticals hospitals. thus I'm more comfortable with it. But when it comes to pregnancy, first of all, you're like, you do what you want to do because you're the one going through it. And it's also, there's so much to it where people talk about stress decreasing. Like if you're really stressed, your likelihood of getting pregnant lowers.

So it's like whatever mentally you have to do or need to do or want to do to get things in the right place. to increase your chance to getting pregnant it's like go for it you know yeah but i will say i will say we had a bullet point on here of like advice for people trying to conceive we've had a lot of friends who are now venturing down this route of trying to have their first baby and we've told you we've been very very lucky the longest we've tried for a baby is a little bit over a year which was withdrew um we've had a couple of miscarriages. We've been very blessed. We've been very lucky.

But I would say advice is don't overthink it, especially in the beginning. Just have fun. When it doesn't work, then take it to the next step where you start collecting information. We love modern fertility. I love knowing as much information as I can just in case you need help. Start conversations with an OBGYN. that's not because you need help but it's because it gives you information

and truly just have an open conversation with your spouse because it is not like the movies guys it's not like this super romantic like oh oh wow

we got pregnant we don't need to get all in details but I do remember so Sean's like hey it's time yeah let's do the thing let's do the thing so you know that's happening and then I'm all up I'm all up in my head I know thinking about all right it's time like I know and then I couldn't do the thing I know because I was all up in my head I know it gets like really weird it gets really weird

and then something well we can do a whole episode on that the it's funny but also kind of important to talk about like people get that that can be a really emotional thing and that can add so much stress which makes it even harder to conceive because the stress like acts against your body and it's just like you got to just relax and you got to just go with the flow here just just remember like life's a unfolding story and it's not going to end up where you think it's going to end up and that's beautiful so just like kind of just be where you are have opinions and desires but don't cling to them too tightly did you feel like you're ready for a third baby so we well first of all we started trying every time at our previous kids first birthday yeah which is what your

OBGYN said yeah good for body recovery well especially for C-section she said I she didn't want me to even start trying until a year which And that's for, like, core recovery or what? Uteris, that she's cut open, recovery. Okay. You look at people like Matt and Abby. They got pregnant like two or three months after their baby. That's, like.

Also, not a C-section. Correct. Oh, that makes a big difference. Huge difference. Surgery. Surgery. So, like, the, one of the main reasons with the C-section, my OB would recommend a year, is when you surgically open up your uterus. Kind of like an ACL.

It takes almost a full year for that to grow strong enough. The fibers to... For that to grow strong enough to win, if stretched again, it has the greatest chance of not tearing or rupturing. And what does that call it if it ruptures? Ooh. I don't know. I don't remember.

But it's not good. Do you have to have the baby immediately? It's very, very, very scary. Dang. That's crazy. But, like, if you haven't surgically opened your uterus up and you've had, like, a vaginal birth, it's a different story. Do I still think two months, three, four months postpartum is soon? Yes.

But good for you. Are you ready for a third baby? I am very scared. I'm very scared. I love our babies to death. It's the same nerves in fear I had with Drew going into Jet. Like, Drew is our world. We could not comprehend sharing our world with another human.

And when Jet came into the picture, it was like, no-brainer. It was like, you're a part of our family. This is another, it was so easy. But I had that same fear of, like, how is a third going to change the dynamic? because we've been splitting time between Drew and Jett since Jett was born. I have this fear of like I haven't had enough time with him before another one's introduced. But does the fact that you've been through this now with Nash

and then with Drew and then with Jett like this, oh no, I don't have any more room in my heart like you used to say. Does it ease it? No. The past experiences of knowing that it enhances that experience? It still doesn't like change the fact that I'm terrible. terrified. Because I don't feel that. I don't feel that at all. I'm like, let's go. It gets better and better and better. Dude, our kids are so fun. I know. Are so fun. I know. I love our baby so much. Oh, my gosh. And it also, like, they're fun. But there's been so many beautiful side effects of having kids. Like, Sean and I have grown closer. Because honestly, there's more conflict and more things to work through. So you're like, it's tough. zero to one was tough because it's like it's identity shift yeah we talk about that often where you're coming into the realization that now you're responsible you have a dependent right marriage is all fun in games and you throw a kid on there it's like our counselor called it a baby bomb yeah it's like true there's just who's going to delegate the chores how you're going to communicate through different parenting styles you have to really dig deep on like your how you were raised you know and then there's some trauma you know

inevitably and all that. But it's like, oh, there's a New York Times headline that said, parenting, all joy and no happiness. And it's kind of, it's like this depth of joy where you look back over the last year with our kids, it's like, oh, it was so meaningful. No. But the day to day, which I think is like, yeah, and it's like a lot going on. But I do think we're getting better and better at it. We're identifying our weaknesses better and being able to support each other rather there, but the floodgates of fears have now opened since I opened that door.

And I was like, what am I scared of? So let me just share all of it. Go ahead. Terrified of pregnancy. It scares me to death. Why? Because this is so weird. And maybe I don't know if this is normal, but I just have this fear of like, God forbid our

baby needed anything right now it's like such a helpless feeling of like i know there's specialists and way to help babies and stuff but god forbid they needed anything they're not in this world yet for me to help them and complications with pregnancy scares me birth scares me because i just i want our baby to survive it i want to survive it and because it's a C-section and surgery and like there's just a lot of fears there i'm scared of postpartum again with you and i it's a really hard time for you and i it's beautiful and we have gotten through it twice but it's very hard yeah floodgates open you know what's funny is i'm starting to see as we're having this conversation how like birth order kind of affects

the demeanor of the child I'm the third kid you're the only child it's like with Drew we were super just uptight nervous didn't know what we were doing super thoughtful everything was planned out

you know you have everything prepared and it's going according to plan and you have nothing else dividing your attention and with Jet it's like you just kind of throw them into the existing pot of things and it's less thought like less of this obsessive attention

and now with the third kid I'm just like toss it on baby like let's see how good but the love is the same like the excitement and love is the same it's just like different

you know what I'm saying yeah anyway we also have a note on here of how did we know we are ready for a third and Andrew has always openly voiced that he's wanted a large

family I've been the one that's been a little bit more on the fence said like I don't know if I went two or three and the only way I can explain it is just like this innate feeling in my core after we had Drew I knew we weren't done after we had jet I knew we weren't done and once we got pregnant with this one I'm kind of like I feel like our family is complete and yeah I would I would love more kids but I realize that we have two hopefully soon to be three beautiful ones. Yeah.

And I am content. So besides you're bloating, let's talk about signs and symptoms of pregnancy. Because you, I guess you had gotten pregnant in the last seven months that we were trying. What is that? You just know you're pregnant.

How is that innate, six cents a thing? Because I've heard that now from you, from Mallory. It's like, you know you're pregnant before you even see the positive test. I don't even know how to explain it. It's just like a switch flips in my brain. It's like, yep, here we go. And I don't know if that has to do with like hormones that are like informing my body that, you know, we're pregnant. But it's literally just like a switch flips.

And I think this time I second guessed that feeling so much because I think we lost one or two. and having like delayed positive pregnancy tests and stuff I was like second guessing that and I think I was just so much more distracted I didn't have as much like self-awareness of my body but bloated headaches constipated which is attractive it's not not attractive it's like I don't I don't I don't really know what's going on down there yeah I know it just feels weird to say um I don't want to say like food aversions, but just like a little bit more turned off by things. Shorter temper.

Tired. Just kind of not feeling myself. But not in a way where I'm like something is wrong. It's just this weird tingle in your heart where you're like, I think there's someone else here But you had some false positives with that feeling of like thinking you're pregnant and you weren't. Yes, I think because I wanted it so bad.

I wonder what the effect of that compounding disappointment is. How did you react when I told you? Which is so nonchalant, especially for a third. It was like late at night We had just put the kids down I had this feeling again I still hadn't gotten my period I was like two and a half weeks late

Which is late for a pregnancy test They make pregnancy tests that you can take Before the day of your missed period And I was two and a half weeks late Still not getting positives, whatever And I was like I'll just go take one more I had one more left And it was immediate

And I was like holy crap I knew it this whole time I walked out and I sat down I started recording, Andrew. Obviously, on our main channel, we'll have all of these, like, videos of us telling people, Sean telling me, if you want to watch those, go check them out. But this is literally, like, three days after you had just gotten super mad at me. I know.

So I was, first of all, you had the negative test. I was like, okay, this month's behind us. Same on to the next one. But Sean was taking pregnancy tests more often than I thought, I guess. and I was blindsided by it. It was probably one, well, I've been blindsided every time. It's been good. You've done a good job.

And also it's such a nonchalant scenario of us probably watching The Batsar or something at night. Yeah. But it was fun. I'm very excited. It's not as mind-blowing as the first one where you're like, do, shoot! I'm going to be your dad. I just remember you were like, are you pregnant?

And I was like, yeah. And you're like, what? What? I need to watch that video. It's been a while. I know. So Sean waited about three minutes, three minutes to tell me after she knew. And then who were the other first people that we told?

Unplanned, the very first people we told were Walker and Sally Zimmerman. Oh my gosh. So Walker and Sally have become friends, good friends over the last couple of months. we're talking to them on the phone planning trips together they're like it's super fun because they're really routine and like walker plays on the national soccer team also on the USA soccer team the olympics are coming up they've got a young one they have a young kid and so we're like all right what trip or like when are we going to see you for the rest of the year and what trip can we take let's do new york and we're like let's do new york next summer and they're like no we have to do new york

city this winter and we had just found doubt the day before i think that's right yeah and so it took us by surprise and we're like oh we love that but and then we just like kind of went silent because we couldn't figure out how to form words and it was still new to us so we didn't have the like the lie down and they some they picked up on it immediately and they go why you're going to be pop you're going to be popping out a baby and we just started giggling and they were like oh oh man they caught us red-handed yeah So that was the day after we found out. And then how long did you wait to tell your parents? We waited a while.

We waited a few weeks. Told them, oh my gosh, this is a hilarious video. We made cookies. Yeah, Drew and Jet made cookies. This is how it's gone both times, or two times now with your parents. And it's like, we made three cookies. One that had Drew's name, one that had Jet, and then one with a question mark. No, it said number three.

three question mark and we took him over to my parents house drew gave him to my mom my mom freaked out before even opening them like caught on so fast your mom probably saw the pregnancy test at our house she probably knew but then my dad like he was pretty much eating the cookies reading them he's like drew jet three yeah yeah and like eating and we're like uh-huh and my mom was like Douglas and he's like what and we literally had to like say it and he's like no way

so funny dude I guess I'm the type of person that eats cookies without admiring them first so I can't blame them yeah but everyone else I feel like we waited a few weeks it got to a point especially in the first trimester I've had a

harder first trimester with this baby than the others I was like falling asleep everywhere like literally on the kitchen floor or Lexi would walk in and be like, are you good? Are you sick? Or like, whatever. And it got so kind of blatant where I was like, I can't drink coffee. And they're like, why aren't you drinking your coffee? That's what you live for. I was like, it kind of just sounds gross. You know, I don't know. You can only lie for so long. I know. And Sean's not good at lying, to be honest.

We finally told them like three weeks then. We'll be posting all those videos. Don't worry. They're great. Yeah. I'm excited for those. And we were. originally planning to not tell anybody for the whole I know the whole thing but that's pretty unrealistic this was Sean's desire was to just like have a baby so I think in my mind given the past COVID years in my mind I was like we're going to do all these events via Zoom it'll be easy to hide we can edit our videos whatever but then very quickly we're realizing that this year is the first year that everybody wants in-person events, which is amazing. It's been a long time since that. But we've done like six back to back now where I'm like trying to hide it with clothes

and there's press there and I'm like, dude, this is rough. Crazy. I had a lady come out. I had a lady come up to me. I had to share this. Go for it. At our last event, which was like two weeks ago. and I mean I had a stylist help me find something that like hid everything really well so it wasn't like it wasn't blatant at all and she came up and she goes I just have to ask are you expecting which also is like wow good for you I mean kind of crossed a social barrier there that you're not supposed to and I was like yeah and she goes I thought so because you're an athlete and I was like and that's like all she said and I was like huh huh huh I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. Thank you. But it's slowly been seeping out, so. You wanted to wait and not tell anybody, but you secretly love it. You live there. I love it. I love the community of moms and women going to this journey. You're one of those people that always talks about pregnancy in a good way. Oh, okay. No, you know, like some people, it's like, like, I have, well, first of all, both of my sister-in-laws called that we were pregnant. It's crazy. They're both.

dude that was crazy she asked me at an event like five days after we found out she's like when are when are you gonna have your next baby Andrew like asking if we were pregnant and I was like I had to lie to her but some of like one of my sister-in-laws just does the pregnancy thing it's like no big deal she was made for it yeah I'm not like her but some people it's like you know this really and the other sister-in-law can't get out of bed the whole pregnancy yeah what's your first trimester was a real treat we'll talk about that in a separate episode but um how does this pregnancy compared to other pregnancies so far you feel like you're showing sooner so much sooner what do you think you know i can't tell i can't tell i don't know what you're talking about i did

definitely feel like i'm showing a lot sooner this time i feel like i was showing it like six weeks and I feel like just compounded with like two toddlers and a busy life and busy work. I've just been so, I've felt the symptoms so much more this time. So much more. No energy, nauseous, headaches. You've been doing a better job at letting me let you sleep in, take naps. Yeah.

Which is really, you have to think, it's really special for me to get that quality time with the kids. I know. And it's not like you've been laying down all the time. No. But when I get a hang with the kids, which is me, it's really fun. So do more of that when you need it, all right? It hasn't really affected our travel or work schedule.

I've definitely been working last the first trimester because I've just not been able to get out of bed. But still been traveling, still went to Greece, still did the thing, been going full bore. Yeah, this was our year of like, hey, just travel and have fun. Yeah. And we've been really converting on that. Yeah. It's been blast. Disney, Greece, Chicago.

I can't even name all the place that we've been, Indianapolis. So many. Los Angeles. So, but it will. Florida. Do we go to Florida? Why don't I think we went to Florida? We're doing our mission trip in Tijuana. Yeah. In October.

That'll be, we waddling. I will say I will say a big difference that I've noticed between this pregnancy and the other two was with the other two the second I got pregnant I felt so

I felt so much of an urge to like do the nursery, buy the stuff get it ready, get everything set up get a name like all these things and now I think it's just because life is so busy I just haven't felt the need to do that yet But you also know

You also know that it doesn't take that long Yeah You don't need Like we could do We know all of our products And I also don't need I don't have the capacity Yeah

I am very Laughing at myself Kind of bummed After Jet I went through A purging process Of like we're done And I got rid of all the infant stuff

I did donate it to like people who needed it Which is the only way I'm okay with that But I went to like find all the stuff And I was like oh wow Uh huh That happened But you've also planned

In your schedule like a real nice Maternity leave for yourself I have I don't want to Wish this infancy away I want to enjoy it I want to live in it I want to enjoy the baby process.

I'm going to play this back to you when we're three days in. I'm going to play back to you, okay? Who's like, let's start a new project. Whether I use it or not, I want to plan life ahead of time that I can enjoy our babies and give them as much of me as possible. Dang, you really do start to realize like you only get this phase once. And once you're in the adult phase, it's like, only so much changes

but this first five years things are changing so quickly you could miss so much or you could witness so many amazing things but what are you most excited about for this third baby

I am most excited and I pray so hard every day for holding your baby for the first time blocking them into the world I want to one of my best friends' wedding and his dad was officiating the wedding and was talking about how

when he found out that when he found out my buddy's white sorry I'm going to tell his story and just get their words right my buddy's name is Justin when Justin's dad found out Justin's mom was pregnant all he hoped for was a healthy baby

and then he went down and said once Justin was born all I hoped for was that he would you know be like Justin's dad and then he hoped that he would like have good friends and like these hopes started layering but I couldn't get past the fact that like the first thing the only thing you wanted at the beginning was like just give me a healthy baby and like everything else is just part of whatever it's just it's kind of pomp and circumstance like who that baby becomes and what they do what their interests are it's like kind of beside the point it's like just get them to us safely yeah i don't know if that's too little or too much to ask you know i am excited to see how our kids that we have right now drew and jet play with the third

baby. I know. Oh, we need like a whole episode I'm telling Drew the sweetest thing ever. She is so excited. Drew, she blows me away every day. That's how sweet she is. She's like, gosh, I posted the video when she came out. It's been a weird, hard couple weeks. And like, you didn't tell her to come out? I didn't. She came out and like rub my shoulder, gave me a kiss, as if I was okay. She's like that. I don't want to say all the time, but most of the time. She's very sensitive to other people's feelings. It's amazing.

She had asked where daddy was, and I said, I think he's out on the front porch. TD Bank knows that running a small business is a journey, from startup to growing and managing your business.
