Olives and Arrows

Today we are diving into the main event! The actual birth of our sweet baby. Please note that there are some aspects of our story that are pretty raw and unexpected, so if you are pregnant and struggling with fear of birth OR generally squeamish, this might not be an episode for you.

After a long break, it's time to kick off season two with my own birth story. What a joy! My hubby, Andrew, joins me to talk through our journey in part 1. We'll leave you with a bit of a cliff hanger but I promise part two is worth the wait! CORRECTION: I accidentally said I had Garner at 42 weeks 5 days. Not true. I had him at 41 weeks 5 days!
