The Aftermath of a Rough Day

In this special bonus episode of *Two Parents Walk Into a Bar*, I’m joined by my sister Brittney to share my chaotic birth story filled with humor and unexpected moments. We discuss the emotional journey of being induced early due to gestational diabetes, Brittney’s panic-inducing family message, and the intense yet funny moments during labor. The arrival of my epidural brings relief, paving the way for laughter amidst the chaos of Arlo's birth. We also reflect on the postpartum experience, emphasizing that while support is essential, the focus should remain on the birthing person's journey through this life-changing experience.
