#6 - A Disappointing Ultrasound May 11, 2017

Show notes

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and moms to be! We made it to 20 weeks, and that means it's ultrasound time! Unfortunately, it was not as exciting as we anticipated. It's so much simpler than we thought to get our marriage certificate. We ask the important questions, such as: Can pets tell when you're pregnant? Who threw out the toothpaste? Why do kids waste food? On this week's "Shit that didn't exist last time I was pregnant, and if it did, I wouldn't have bought it because it's stupid" we discuss automatic bottle makers. It's like a Kuerig for your infant!
