Join us as we celebrate our one-year anniversary of this podcast! Today, we walk through the first year of parenthood. The ups and downs, the tips and tricks, and the emotions of it all. Come and hear my husband and I as we remember the first year, now that we’ve been through it five times. We hope you gain some type of nugget of wisdom from this episode, and that you’ll join us for another great birth story again next week!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER OF OUR GIVEAWAY!
