THE BABIES ARE COMING!!! - RELAX #43

[@paigecarey9674]

Last podcast for a while probably!

[@maci3615]

sooo bittersweet!

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Possibly. But if the babies stay in the nicu for a while I could totally see them recording an episode to keep themselves distracted since they are home and the babies are not (I think)

Yeah

Yes, a little Jeffery dahmer vibes

I agree with Eric with the pretzels and orange Julius!! Every since my daughter could eat solid foods, anytime we went to the mall, we would get our pretzels and my husband would get our orange Julius and we would enjoy our time going to our specific stores! My daughter is 10 and that is still our little tradition to this day, whenever we go to a mall. 😊

[@kelsey1014]

i love how colleen said "by the time this episode comes out we might be in the hospital" and actually posted the twins birth the same day the podcast came out of spotify.

[@theRealSara]

pigeons always know how to fly home. My pawpaw was a pigeon racer. They would all meet in a location and let the pigeons loose. The pigeons would then fly home. As they came home they would come into the pigeon coop and we would have to “clock them in” by the anklet number they had on their foot. Then at a certain date/time everyone would meet up again and exchange pigeon stats - this was in the early 90s so there wasn’t much pigeon racing tech back then. That’s all I know about pigeon racing but it was really fun watching the big flock of pigeons fly home. You’d try to make sure they made it into the coop instead of stopping on the ground in front bc they needed to all be tagged in.

[@mariposa424]

I just saw this podcast and started sobbing. I have had a really rough day and both of you wonderful human beings just bring me so much comfort. Thankyou💗

[@geneveenash8512]

I have to agree Erik is literally the best dad ever seeing him interacting and play with Flynn is so inspiring he's also the best husband ever! every man needs to be like Erik and that understanding, the fact he knows how awesome women's bodies are is so bitter sweet and relief that there are men out there Like him hes pure angel! You have a the perfect person Colleen 💓

[@Chickadee2706]

Erik is 100% correct! As a kid in the 90s (SoCal) going to the mall and getting a soft pretzel and an Orange Julius was DEFINITELY a thing lol something I haven’t thought about in years until y’all mentioned it. I may just have to go get some today 😋

I have never heard of that before. But I know the itch you are talking about because I had it with my son and it was absolutely horrible. It would only happen at night but it would keep me up all night long. I had it for most of my pregnancy and I told my Dr about it and he had no answers for me. He put me on Ambien to see if I could sleep better and that did not work either. However I went into preterm labor at 22 weeks and spent an awful lot of time in the hospital because of it. Obviously they stopped my labor every single time. My son ended up being born at 34 weeks. I had the most miserable pregnancy because of all of these issues. I was constantly worried that I would lose my son. This is shocking to me because now I think I had this as well and nothing was done about it. WOW I am blow away right now. Thank you for that info.

My husband used to race pidgins, it actually insanely fascinating how it works- you train your birds then ship them across the United States or wherever the “competition” is- the bird has a tracker and the release them and they fly home- when your bird returns to the coop it clocks the time.

Does the english language not have a word for a smaller meal in between meals? Here in Sweden we call it "Mellanmål" (Middle meal). Basically when you take a sandwich or a smoothie between lunch and dinner or eats something more than a banana after a workout etc. Maybe some pancakes, maybe some yoghurt. A small meal to tide you over between larger meals.
