About this listen

We had a baby! 🎉 But let’s rewind a bit… because the journey to meeting our son was anything but chill.

In this episode, we take you inside the wild ride that was our birth story — starting with the moment we were told we’d be induced, all the way through 75 hours of poking, prodding, gas-and-air, and yep, screaming “I want a C-section” in a crowded ward.

From one cervix that refused to cooperate to a midwife named Bob (??), and a labor room we weren’t sure we’d ever get to — this episode is raw, real, and kind of ridiculous in hindsight.

We get into:

  • The unexpected hell no moment during induction
  • Which item we packed that turned out to be totally useless
  • The breakdown in the hallway (and the hero midwife who saved us)
  • Why Brad basically lived on coffee and nerves for 50+ hours
  • And the moment Sophia finally got her epidural (and Brad finally got the call)

Plus: pink pads, emotional goodbyes, ghost Wi-Fi, and the deeply honest truth about what those final hours felt like — physically, emotionally, mentally.

Whether you’ve had a baby or not, this is the kind of birth story we wish we’d heard before it all started.
