We filmed this mom-and-dad Q&A on a road trip to Pennsylvania for a friend’s wedding—aka our first multi-night trip without Annie—and my brain was fully scrambled in the best way. We talk about the mental load, what it feels like to suddenly not have to think 10 steps ahead, and what Annie’s up to back home with Nana and Papa (bike rides, the cow song on YouTube, watering tomatoes… she’s living her best life). Then we jump into your questions: our favorite Maine food spots (yes, I have strong opinions), whether we could ever live anywhere else, and what we genuinely love about each other—both pre-kids and as parents. We also get into the real-life stuff: how we handle conflict (communication is an art and a science, and letting go of ego is everything), when I weaned breastfeeding and why it was honestly life-changing for me, and what Annie’s current favorite toys/activities are (running, coloring with jumbo crayons, Little People, and her tiny vacuum—she’s obsessed). And of course we talk baby #2—whether we’d try naturally or go straight to an embryo transfer, why having embryos “on ice” changed everything for me, and how the biggest blocker right now is that we genuinely don’t know where we’re living next month. Stability first, always.
