Preparing for a Baby: Mentally, Spiritually, Relationally

In This Episode:We're back with our first episode on preconception — mentally, spiritually, and relationally preparing for a baby. We get into why we actually want to parent, grief and longing, queer considerations for family-building, prepping your partnership (and yes, choosing Auntie names). Oh — and there's a twin cryptic pregnancy story none of us want to see coming.
