Show notes

Happy Halloween from Probably A Podcast! In this episode, Shannon reveals this year’s costumes for herself and Daisy, shares about her 6-week postpartum appointment, and what you’ve all been waiting for: an update on her bum. She talks about the construction progress at the house and putting Daisy’s tiny footprints in the driveway. Shannon goes through her pregnancy bag to reveal what she actually used (hint: it’s 4 things). Who is returning used baby clothes to Amazon? How is Shannon's lazy bladder? What are her favorite songs to sing to Daisy? It’s a classic Shannon TMI episode, full of honesty about the happiness and challenges of new motherhood.

Shannon talks about her initial fear of childbirth and what helped ease her anxiety. James shares his perspective from the delivery room, and his shock from the shape of Daisy’s head (parents, you know).
