The following podcast is a Dear Media Production.

What's up, guys? And welcome back to Sunday Sports Club Podcast, a podcast all about sports told by a woman. And that woman is me. Hi, guys. I'm Alison Cooch, and I feel like you guys love hearing from women when it comes to postpartum and what that looks like differently when it comes to being married to a professional athlete or being a professional athlete themselves. So today I have on a very special guest. We have on Reagan Bregman. Hopefully I pronounced Bregman, right?
- [00:34]
C
Yes.
- [00:34]
B
Yes. Okay. A entrepreneur wife, mother of two, and her husband is in the mlb. He is a third baseman. That's baseman is what you would call that, correct?
- [00:47]
C
Yes. Yep, he's a third baseman.
- [00:49]
B
So, yes, a lot of stuff is happening in your life. Number one biggest change is that you were a few weeks postpartum.
- [00:58]
C
Yeah, a few months. So I'm three months now. Yes.
- [01:01]
B
I still consider those weeks. I think up until four months, I'm saying weeks.
- [01:05]
C
I was gonna say, I feel like it's still weeks. Like, it still feels. So I still have to remind myself, too. I'm like, I'm literally. Yeah. Like, 12 weeks postpartum. Like, it's still so new.
- [01:14]
B
Yes. And around 12 weeks, I remember thinking to myself, like, oh, my gosh, I'm no longer postpartum. Like, why am I not, like, a hundred percent back to my normal self? You were very much postpartum, I would say, until a year. Like that. That's just my genuine take. So how has the transition from two to one or one to two been good?
- [01:36]
C
And I would totally agree with you, because I feel like with my son, I thought I was, like, done being postpartum at, like, two months. And, like, and we went to the World Series that year and, like, did the whole postseason run. My son was, like, two months. Between two months and three months, we were doing that, and I was like, oh, I'm done. You know, I'm like, already had him. Postpartum's over. I feel so good. Like, absolutely. Not looking back, but it did take me literally a year to feel like myself again.
- [02:02]
B
Like, fully a full year.
- [02:04]
C
Yeah.
- [02:05]
B
I think I specifically remember my daughter's first birthday and thinking to myself, wow, Like, I feel really great. Like, I'm, like, just honestly feeling not back to how I was, but I'm feeling like more me and just like, yes, I can run and not feel like I'm gasping for air. So for you, your first pregnancy, you gave birth, and then how long after.
- [02:29]
D
Was the World Series?
- [02:31]
C
So my son was, like, seven weeks old when we did our first trip to go watch my husband play. Cause I wanted to get him, like, used to doing a trip. Because the post season was when he was two months. So it was like, from two months to three months was pretty much that whole month. Like, that whole run of October. And he went on every single flight with us, did every single trip. Like, it was literally pure. It was insanity. Like, looking back, it was totally crazy. But, I mean, it was fun. And I'm glad I went because we did end up going to the World Series and winning. So it was like a good. I wanted to be there for that, you know, And I'm glad I was, but it was. It was rough. But, yeah, he was like, between two and three months, but I did. I didn't know it at the time. And I love that you talk so openly about this online, on social media. Media. But I had the worst postpartum anxiety. And so, like, looking back, I'm like, I've learned so much the second time around that it's been a lot better. And I hope, like, I'll feel like myself sooner. I guess I definitely still don't yet. But I do think with him, it was, like, really a solid year before, like, the anxiety really started to, like, go down. I mean, it's. I literally think it just stays forever because, I don't know, probably get more anxious as they get older and, like, are able to do more things. But I do feel like, you know, it's. It just takes a long time to kind of get. I don't know that postpartum anxiety takes a while to, like, die down.
- [03:53]
B
Yeah, no, for sure. I think, yeah.
- [03:55]
C
The.
- [03:55]
B
The anxiety, like, the worrying about, am I doing things right? How can I do this differently? Like, all of those stressors with your first child are so real and raw, and it's your first time doing it. So you're like, I am. It's just me and Google at this point. Like, any of my friends that I panic text. With your second baby, have you found yourself, like, okay, I feel more comfortable because I'm more experienced, and I've done this before, 100%.
- [04:20]
C
Not that I even, like, in that experience, but, like, I really do feel like it because with the first, I literally got home from the hospital. My husband left that second, like, he drove us home, and then he went on a road trip. Like, within a minute of dropping us off at the house. Like, it was crazy. He was gone. And I'm, like, sitting there, and I'm Like, I don't think I really know how to change a diaper. Like, did I watch the nurse do it well enough at the hospital to where I could do it all on my own? And I remember being, like, literally, like, shaky. Like, okay, like, I think this goes here. And, like, none of my friends had kids yet. Like, I was the first of all my friends have kids. So I was like, I'm like, who do I call? I need to call some of my, like, baseball mom friends, because I know they had had babies in the last couple years. I'm like, how do I do this? And how do I do a scale schedule? And, like, I just didn't know anything, you know? So then whenever you come home with the second, like, I was like, oh, I can do diapers. Like, I'm basically still doing almost building diapers on my toddler. You know what I mean? Like, I can do diapers. I can do. I'll figure out the schedule thing. Like, life will go on. Like, with my first, I was like, is life gonna go on? Like, I don't know. Does it just stop? Like, it kind of. Like, I had that fear of, like, oh, my gosh, everything's different now. But, like, looking like, with the second, it's like, oh, everything's different. But, like, I'm excited. Like, he's going to grow up and he's going to play with my son. And, like, it's more like, of an exciting thing for me. So for me, the second has been way better.
- [05:38]
B
Yeah.
- [05:39]
C
Experience.
- [05:40]
B
Everybody has their preference when it comes or not Preference. Everybody has their opinion. When it comes to the hardest change, it's 0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, I'm just going to say is probably the hardest. But in your opinion, do you think 0 to 1 or 1 to 2 is harder?
- [05:57]
C
I definitely think 0 to 1, 0 to 1 just, like, rocked my world. Like, it just. It was like a shell shock. I think I was still, like, in fight or flight for so long. I was like, oh, my God, what am I doing? Am I doing it right? You know, I just kind of. I felt like it was such a shock this time. I knew what I was signing up for in a way, even though you don't know, because it's. I mean, it's all new, but I feel like this time has been a lot more manageable. And also, just like. Like you said, like, I have a little bit of experience. I kind of think I. I know what kind of mom I am, too. Like, I'm More confident in that. Like, I know who I am as a mom, which I probably would have never admitted at the beginning with my son, but I didn't really know. Like, I was like, am I being a good mom? Like, am I, you know, thinking about that all the time? And this time I'm like, okay. Like, I know what kind of mom I am. I know who I want to be. I know, like, I kind of know what to expect. So I think. I think 1 to 2 is easier than 0 to 1 for me.
- [06:48]
B
I absolutely agree. And I don't even have a second child yet.
- [06:52]
C
Just because your daughter.
- [06:54]
B
My daughter is now 19 months.
- [06:56]
C
Okay.
- [06:57]
B
So the idea of a second baby is, like, around the corner.
- [07:00]
C
But that was me. That was me right then. 18 months.
- [07:04]
B
19 months, my good. She's like, independent, playing play dates. I'm like, she's out of sight. Like, it's so crazy how much she's just, like, gravitating towards these older kids. And I'm starting to realize when she's around other kids, she's actually easier. She's more entertained. She's like a happier child. So I'm like, yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess we're going to have a second child. But the idea of, like, the 0 to 1 rocked my world because there was so, like, the learning curve is huge. And then on top of that, for me, I. I wanted everything to be perfect. And somewhere from her being a newborn to a year old, I was like, I have to pick and choose my battles. So the second child, I feel like I'm going to be a happier mom because I already know that I'm going to pick and choose my battles ahead of. If something isn't going my way, I'm going to change it up because I just need to be, like, at peace with that. But I also feel like your first child and your second child are so different because of your husband not being at home. So what has the second birth postpartum looked like with your husband being in the mlb?
- [08:18]
C
It's been better. And I think it's been better because of me saying what I need, if that makes sense. And I'm the same as you. Like, I kind of want everything to be perfect all the time. And, like, I, like, have what this vision of, like, what it's all going to look like and how it's going to be. And the first time, I just simply was not prepared. I didn't know I had postpartum anxiety for a long time. Like, it took me, like, two months to Even figure out that. And I was, like, worried buildings were going to fall on him all day long, like, in light fixtures and stuff. Like, I was, like, so stressed about these things, and I didn't even. Like, that. I was like, oh, that's normal. Like, I have a baby. Of course I'm worried the building's gone to fall down. What if it. Like, what if it does? You know? And I was like, okay, you say that. Obviously.
- [08:56]
B
They're like, you have something wrong with you.
- [08:59]
C
Exactly. And even when I say it now, I'm like, I sound like I was writing letters to him. Like, I was like, in case I die, I just want him to know how I feel about. Like, I love him so much. Like, it was totally nut, and that's so not me. But, like, I couldn't see it at the time. And so I didn't even know how to ask for help. I think, too. Like, my doctor told me. She was like, I think something's. Something's up. Like, I think you're having postpartum. I was like, really? I thought this was normal. Isn't everyone worried about their kids? It was, like, unrealistic, obviously. And so I think the second time around, I learned how to have other people show up for me, too. Like, specifically my husband, because I think he didn't understand it either. He's like, what. What do you mean? Like, it's gonna be fine. The painting's not gonna fall down. Like, he just didn't get it. And so after going through that experience and then us, you know, learning a lot from our friends, having kids, and hearing other people's stories, like, it really does help when other people come out and talk about postpartum, because it makes you feel a little less crazy for feeling that way. And, like, hey, this happens, like, to people. You're not nuts. But he learned that, too. And so I think the second time around, what was better about at least him being gone all the time is that he kind of learned how to show up for me in other ways and just be there and, like, listen and, like, hey, I don't always need you to, like, tell me I'm crazy, or, like, not. Not that I'm crazy. Like, tell me that it's fine. It's like, I just sometimes need you to listen. Or, like, I sometimes just need to, like, talk through this crazy fear or something. But I think that has been, like, a big change in that. But what was your question? Was it about him being gone?
- [10:28]
B
Well, yes. No.
- [10:29]
D
But honestly, that.
- [10:30]
B
That helps because it is Interesting. The first postpartum, you. You don't even know what you need at that point. And, I mean, obviously, with every child, it. It's a little bit different. The baby's gonna be different. Their demeanor is gonna be different. Need. But I almost feel like the second baby, you. You know, a little bit heading into it, like, hey, I. I know that I'm probably not going to be able to do X, Y, and Z. Can you help me out in that way? Or, you know, you just feel more prepared, and you feel like you're able to vocalize, like, your needs better.
- [11:03]
C
Right.
- [11:04]
B
But it's hard when your husband might not be physically there. So that's what I. I was curious about, because he was trading to the Red Sox from the Astros during off season. While you're pregnant, how many weeks pregnant were you when you learned this information?
- [11:19]
C
So we were in free agency that year, so we had, like, talks with lots of teams, and it was getting towards the end of the off season, and I think I was 30. It must have been 38 months, right? Yeah.
- [11:34]
B
No way.
- [11:35]
C
Yeah.
- [11:36]
B
38 weeks.
- [11:36]
C
Oh, my God. Did I say months?
- [11:38]
B
This is where.
- [11:38]
C
This is what I need.
- [11:39]
B
It's mom break.
- [11:40]
C
This is why I was looking at June earlier. I was like, months. And then I'm thinking, like, damn, that's a long time.
- [11:44]
B
Absolutely.
- [11:47]
C
So I'm 38. No, I was thir. I must have been. I was, like, 32 weeks when we found out. Yep. Cause I had him at 38, and I moved. Maybe I was a little before 32 weeks. And then we moved right when I was, like, 32 weeks here. But it was, like, really rapid fire. Like, we moved within, like, literally a week and a half. Like, it was crazy fast.
- [12:07]
B
Well, because you're not supposed to travel at 34 weeks.
- [12:10]
C
That was it. It was like. It was, like, right before that timeframe, and I was like, I don't. And I also had my first son at 38 weeks. So I was like, I don't want to risk, because, like, I'm. I feel like. I don't know. I just feel like I was gonna have him early, which I did. I had him at 38 weeks, naturally. Like, it just happened again. And so, like, I felt like, hey, I need to, like, be put. Stay put. And so the second we got a house, I literally came up to Boston. I was here by myself for, like, five weeks. Pregnant as. With a toddler. Like, like very pregnant.
- [12:40]
B
Pregnant with a toddler. Moving. Your husband might be not 100 physically.
- [12:46]
C
There, so he was in spring training, so he was not even, like, allowed to come here at all. He was in Florida for spring training. And our spring training is six weeks long. And so also, like, we didn't know who we were signing with yet. So spring training could be in Florida or Arizona. So we didn't know that until, like, that second. And then the next day, he was on a plane to Florida to do spring training. So you like going to Boston? Yeah.
- [13:08]
B
You're like, I need to go to Boston and find a doctor to deliver said child in my stomach that might come out any day in the near future. And I also have a toddler, and we're also moving, and we need to find a place to live. And then you're going to a different state, so I'm going to need to figure out all this. Do you, like, when it comes to help, do you have family, friends? Like, have you hired help? Because, yes, that is. You're not able to do that on your own. Like, you need to use your village.
- [13:36]
C
I. I had this, like, intense. Just. I didn't want to have help. I could do it myself. Like, the whole, like, first year of my son's life, and I was like, I also wanted to work, which doesn't really make any sense, but. And my husband's gone all the time. But I learned over time. So, yes to your question. All of the above. I've hired. I've had sitters come when I need to work. I have my. My mom's literally in town right now, and she's watching them out there. I love that. But, like, I really believe in the village like you do. It takes a village. And it really helped. Like, you said how your daughter, like, loves to go play with other kids. Like, I see that with my son, and I'm like, I need other mom friends that have kids my age that we can do play dates with and they can come over. And it, like, takes a load off of me a little bit to be able to, like, relax and talk to them while they play, you know, it's like, you need that community in that village and motherhood. And I. I don't know, that's like a huge thing with me. I just feel like all hands on deck, you know what I mean? Like, our life is crazy. Like, as you know, your life, I mean, you're like, killing your career is insane. And your husband. It's like, it's so much on somebody to, like, do that 24, seven.
- [14:39]
B
Yes, absolutely. I mean, it is. It is a lot. And with all of like the things you're also having to pick up because your husband is like at practice or at an away series or playing in a game or, I don't know, this or that.
- [14:53]
C
You.
- [14:53]
B
I feel like you have. The mental load is so much bigger because you're having to pick up the, the slack of like your partner constantly not being there and having just to like, still be prepared for anything around the corner. For me, I'm very similar to you in that the first year I was like, surely I can work full time and be a stay at home mom.
- [15:12]
C
Like, yeah.
- [15:13]
B
And so many women do that. And those women forever in my brain. You are insane. Like insanely incredible.
- [15:21]
C
Because Superwoman, it's, yeah. Amazing.
- [15:23]
B
I got burnt out at so many points postpartum because I was trying to do everything. And then I finally got to the point where I was like, I need friends to come over and be like, hey, don't worry, I'll watch the kids play for an hour. And then like, I can, like, we can, you know, take turns doing that or oh, here's my babysitter. Why don't you use her every once in a while? And. And it is incredible to have to.
- [15:47]
D
To build that village.
- [15:48]
B
It's incredible to be able to utilize that village too, because it makes your life. I just feel like a happier mom is like the key to like a happy family. I actually think there's like research on that.
- [16:02]
C
I totally agree with you on that. And it took me a long time to realize, but now, especially with two, like my bandwidth, I just don't have. I cannot work with two kids in hell. And I got like newborn. Then I got my toddler who wants to play with me all the time. It's like, you can't work within that. You just can't. It's like the, it's been stretched too far kind of thing with two.
- [16:20]
B
Yes.
- [16:20]
C
So it's kind of forced me into that. But I totally agree because I'm like, whenever I'm in like, I feel like you find your work very fulfilling. It seems like. So it's like, you know, you get to go do something that fulfills you, fills up your cup so much you get a break and when you come back you're just like present and happier. And like you said, like, it makes everybody happier. Right?
- [16:41]
B
And it's absolutely. And I think it got to that point where I was like, I feel like I love being a mom and I love working and having this identity outside of being a mom. And I didn't like the Idea of having to choose between the two. But once I made the decision to have my mom come in sometimes or have a babysitter a few days a week, people get mad at me if I say babysitter. Sorry, guys, nanny.
- [17:07]
C
But I. I always say either. I know.
- [17:11]
B
I'm like, okay, sorry. I don't know which word to use. But once I did that, I realized, like, oh, I can be happy working, and then when I come home, I can be happy as a mom. And I don't feel like I'm being pulled. I don't feel like I'm having to make a decision between one or the two. I get to do both fully and presently.
- [17:29]
D
Right?
- [17:30]
B
And that. That, I think was like, the biggest learning curve for me as a mom. As a mom, I never want to have to be worried about the comfortability of the shoes on my feet. I want to be worried about chasing after my toddler, and if I'm fast enough to keep up with her, I want to be worried about taking enough pictures or videos to capture the memories. I want to be worried about what's for my next meal, because those are things that actually matter. And just spending time with my daughter.
- [18:00]
D
Uninterrupted is so important.
- [18:02]
B
And Asics shoes are such a game changer when it comes to the comfortability of my feet and being able to stay on my feet all day long. And I'm talking, like, some days I'm hitting 20,000 steps. That's a lot of chasing after my toddler. And that's why shoes are so important. And Asics believes that movement is what brings us together. So each step forward becomes a journey towards something more. More community, more connection, more miles. And it's not just about the number of miles you go. It's about the number of miles you.

If you guys are anything like me, you've probably seen a million ads for hair growth products and thought, like, I wonder if that actually works. So back when I was postpartum, I had seen so many things about neutrophil I had taken it before, but I was like, okay, like let's really test it out for myself. Because postpartum hair loss is very real. If you guys haven't experienced it, it's like clumps of your hair falling out. So I decided to jump on the Nutrafol postpartum formula and noticeably saw a difference in the amount of shedding my hair was doing. I feel like less and less and it definitely took a few months, but less and less. I noticed the clumps getting smaller and smaller. And it wasn't just the fact that less of my hair was falling out.

Back when my daughter Scotty was a newborn and we were picking out coterie diapers because I had heard so many good things about them. They're so soft, but also they're designed for sensitive skin. From day one. I trusted coterie back when my daughter was a newborn and I still trust them today. We love their diapers and use them, I mean obviously multiple times a day, but still something that I am utterly obsessed with is their new skincare line. Okay? It's making parents lives easier. And all the products are great at multitasking, which as a parent, you know, you have to be good at multitasking too. So they have the first wash, which is a tear free hair and body wash that leaves everything very silky. You have your soft cream lightly but so effectively moisturizes both the face and body and the bun balm. And this is gorgeous. Nicole occlusive balm that I love not only for diaper changes but also for dry patches all over you guys. My husband has been using the bun balm. He, I didn't tell him it was actually called bun balm. He just thinks it's like a really thick moisturizer. But he loves it and my daughter loves it and I love these products on her skin and I also love that these take out a lot of that guesswork by being hypoallergenic. Dermatologist tested made without fragrance or parabens cruelty free vegan microbiome friendly pH balance. Like the list goes on and on.

What did moving look like? I mean when you're pregnant and you have a toddler, are you like, I'm hands off you? Like we need to figure out like somebody needs to come and pack us up because I'm not touching a box.
- [22:36]
C
I definitely was the latter. I've all. We've moved a lot and not like self chosen. Like we were in Houston for a long time. We could have probably stayed in the same spot, but we, we moved houses, we've leased houses. We lived in Arizona for some off seasons and then we were actually in Arizona when we signed with Boston. Temporary situation, like renting and boxes, but not everything, you know. And so normally I like, my mom comes and we like, you know, I always have packers and movers, but I like still like am kind of hands on, you know, picking everything out. This time I was like, I'm not doing it. If we sign this late, I've got to have help. I mean I was so pregnant. Like it was like. And I was like, I'm the kind. I stopped working out at like maybe six and a half months because I was like worried I would like make the baby come. I know that's not gonna happen, but I was like, I don't want to. You were worried about it lifting box? Yeah, I was like worried about him coming early. And I'm like, can you imagine? I like have a baby in Arizona and we sign in Boston and he's in Florida. Like, oh my God, like just eat.
- [23:33]
B
The raspberry leaf tea out of my face. Like no dates, nothing. We're preventing.
- [23:38]
C
Yeah. I was like on preventing mode. Like I'm reading all this stuff to do anti that. But I did, I did end up hiring people. I had amazing people that Helped me here in Boston, like, unpack and stuff and get it all set up and, like, get my sons up. We're also here renting, so it's like, you know, it's. It wasn't as bad to move because I didn't have to move furniture.
- [24:01]
B
Right.
- [24:01]
C
But this time, I was a lot more like, okay, I need to hire people. I've got to, like, sit down and, like, yes. Kind of coordinate and, like, watch my toddler. Like, that was my thing. I was like, I'm just gonna be, like, watching him all day, and I'll hire help to help me unpack.
- [24:16]
B
Watching a toddler, that's a job in and of itself.
- [24:19]
C
It's. That is like. Yeah. I mean, he is a. He's a wild man. Gonna be like, all eyes on him 247 or he's like, something crazy.
- [24:28]
B
I'm curious to know did. Because you've mentioned, like, you've had a lot of moves. For me, I realized the. The more moves we had, the less I started caring. So when it came to my husband's last football team, I didn't care what the house looked like. I didn't care about bringing any of our. Me meaning, like, I'm pregnant, and I'm. I'm thinking, like, oh, I'm gonna nest in it. No, I literally, like, cheetah carpet in Vegas. It was a nice house. Like, obviously, it was. Yeah, great. But I didn't care about anything else. I was like, I just want, like, a clean, nice place to come back to. I need a nice neighborhood so I can, like.
- [25:07]
C
Yeah.
- [25:08]
B
Go walks with the dog. Yeah. So it was, like, safety, cleanliness, and those were, like, my only things. Everything else went out the window. Whereas in, like, the first move, I moved everything. We owned all of our.
- [25:20]
C
Oh, yeah, you stopped doing that.
- [25:21]
B
All of our belongings. Yes. So for you have. You realize, like, you care less the more moves you go through.
- [25:29]
C
Yeah, I think. And we got really lucky with the house that we got here. I'm obsessed with it, but we. We normally. Yes. Like, my standards go down, first of all. And second of all, I know that I can live with less. I have, like. And, like. Like, I have, like, my minimum things. Right. Like, I know I need, like, safety because I do want to go for walks, especially postpartum. I was like, if I can't go walks postpartum, I might lose my mind, and I need to be able to get outside. So, like, like, there has to be some sort of backyard situation. So. And with my toddler and stuff. So it's like, I have, like, my bare minimum things, and then I always travel with my coffee machine, my espresso machine. It just makes me feel at home. And I don't blame you. I don't care how much I'm shipping that thing. Maybe it would make sense to, like, buy another one. I don't know. I don't even care. That is like my. I don't even know, like, therapy. I, like, need that in my house.
- [26:20]
B
Yeah, it's like sisterhood of the traveling. Like, coffee machine.
- [26:23]
C
Because it's been everywhere.
- [26:25]
B
Some people have a blanket and some people have a coffee machine, like, as their sense of comfort.
- [26:30]
C
That's me. It's my espresso machine. Right. But yeah, I do. That's like, I have, like, my little things, you know, that they make me feel at home. And I always also have this mentality, like, I will not feel moved in until about three months in. And I just try to remind myself of that. I always have this thing of three months. I don't know where I got it from, but, like, it takes me three months to really adjust and really feel at home in a place. And even, like, without. Yeah, I don't furniture. I don't. I don't really care. I'm like, yeah, as long as I can sit on the couch and watch tv, like, it's fine. And my husband can. Right?
- [26:58]
B
With, like, yeah, right.
- [26:59]
C
Sports on, it's fine. But I do think that, like, I always remind myself it takes me a little time because I feel like sometimes when you move, you're like, oh, I need to feel at home right away. And, like, that's just not realistic. It's not going to happen. Like, you're not going to know where to go for the best local, you know, coffee. Or I'm like, love, right? Like, you're not going to know, you know, where to take your son or your daughter to a play place right away. Like, it's going to take some time of learning the area and all that. So I, like, give myself some time to. To adjust and, like, remind myself that I was going to ask kind of helps.
- [27:30]
D
What.
- [27:30]
B
What do you think is, like, your deciding factor is to be like, okay, I actually feel like I'm at home. Is it like a morning routine that you're. That you feel like you're in the groove of? Is it knowing, like, okay, these are my favorite restaurants, my favorite coffee shops. Like, okay, I know where to go for a walk. Or is it even, like, the sense of community when it comes to the Baseball team, like, oh, I have some girls I can hang out with. What is it for you that makes you feel at home?
- [27:57]
C
I think. I mean, first off, it's usually always the people I think meeting good people and having the community, probably. But like, realistically this time it's just like knowing the area, like, knowing where, because I feel like my family is like my people, you know what I mean? Like, yep, my sons now and my husband, it's like we like, have each other. And like, that's kind of how I was growing up. I moved. I lived all over the place when I was a kid, and it was always me and my brother and my parents. So, like, it didn't matter where I lived. I always felt at home with people. So I think that's like the core group. Like, I always feel at home that way. But then once I kind of get to know the area, like I said, like my local spot to get out, get a coffee, my local place to take knocks to go run around. Or like our favorite date night. Like a good restaurant that we love. It's kid friendly. Like, you can bring your kid and it's like loud enough. If they scream, you're good, you know, it's like that kind of stuff. Like, once I find those things, I'm like, I feel like I'm adjusted more once I kind of get in the groove of like, okay, what does my day to day look like? Like, how do I. Where do I go? Like, what places do I like? That kind of thing that helps me, but I feel like it's people.
- [29:02]
B
It's funny you mentioned the where to go for a date night, but you can bring your toddler. My husband and I, we've lived on and off in Orange county for the past eight or nine years. But recently we came across a restaurant that has good food and, like, it's in a cool area. And it also has, like a little.
- [29:21]
D
Play area for kids.
- [29:22]
B
I'm like, it's not a super nice restaurant, but it has a little play area and you can, like, food is.
- [29:26]
C
Good and there's a play area.
- [29:29]
B
So we just sit there. We. We bring her stroller and her baby doll, and she is gone. And we're. She's in our line of sight and I'm like, this is my ideal date night. Like, we still have our daughter. We can still spend time with her. She's enjoying herself, we're enjoying ourselves. We're drinking margaritas over here.
- [29:45]
C
That's the thing. You both have to be enjoying yourselves. And then it's fun. You know what I mean? It's like, if you can find a place where you can do that, it's the dream.
- [29:52]
B
But I'm now at home. Like, after nine years, I feel so at home here. But I also agree that, like, the community or the people you're around, obviously my husband and my daughter, like, they're always going to be like, my sense of home no matter where we go. But I. Something about me is that when it came to the NFL and moving, I always like to find at least one or two women that I could call up. If I needed something, I could call up and ask for recommendations. When it comes to the mlb, what does it look like in terms of you get traded to a new team or you get picked up to a new team and making friends or making connections? Is it like a very open, welcoming group because you guys have so many games? I'm curious what that dynamic is.
- [30:39]
C
Games, like, every day but there. So I have only been on two teams ever. And when I first met my husband, he'd already, like, been in the World Series and, like, knew all the guys and knew their wives, like, prior to me even knowing him. Do you know what I mean? So it's very different dynamic for me to walk into because I was able to, like, meet his friends, wives. Do you know what I mean? Like, and he already knew them.
- [31:03]
B
Yeah, they were, like, all already established.
- [31:05]
C
Yes. So I was coming into that, and that was very, very welcoming to me. And it was great. Like, I had a great experience and I'm from Houston or not from, but I've lived there forever. Yeah. I went to school nearby. Like, I had community there so quickly. And then I met the wives, and they were nice, and it was great. So this is my first time ever, like, kind of entering into a new team. And it's been really good so far. Like, I've met a lot of. It's hard because I was, like, so pregnant and then had a baby. So I was like, Mia, like, I like, not around. That's the time you're not leaving your house. No. And I just didn't. I didn't want to leave. I felt like I like being home with the second even more. I was like, I like this little newborn bubble. I can stay here. This is great. Watch a game on my couch. But yeah, I didn't. I feel like I've been really welcomed. I think it's very open a lot. Like, people get treated all the time and you're going to a new team and then there's like, you know, you meet the family liaison. They have a great one here in Boston. And she, like, immediately like, hey, here's all the stuff we're doing. Here's your invited. We have babysitters. Like, I wanted to go to this ice cream event and it was like my first time getting out of the house, and I brought both kids by myself with like, a newborn and like crazy toddlers like, running all over the place. I was like, I don't know what I was thinking. And I had also volunteers. Yeah, you're like, oh, am I? Yeah, we figured it out. But they, like, really did. They literally ubered one of the babysitters over from the family room to help me out. And she, like, helped, like, with my son. And then like, when I was chasing my son or we were scooping ice cream, she helped with the baby. And so, like, I was able to, like, manage that event and like, still go and show up. And they were really welcoming and almost like, hey, we really want you to come. Like, we'll provide, like, what kind of help do you need? Like, that kind of thing. So it's been a really good experience so far. It hasn't been that long, but I feel like it's been so good, like, being welcomed into a team that has such a good, like, structure set up for families. But I do feel like, I think a lot of the teams are like that. Like, they have, you know, the family liaison and then just the wives are moving so much. Like, you know, I'm sure you know that from football, it's. But you guys have a lot more people, right?
- [33:07]
B
A lot more. There's like, I feel like the NFL is crazy that they have like a lot of in season moves, which I feel like is. Yeah, that's ever changing. And it's just nothing is ever certain. Like, you can sign a contract and still get cut. So nobody, like, literally nobody is safe. But one of my good friends, her fiance plays in the mlb and she said, like, wherever you go, like, the family liaison or like the community is so great when it comes to how the organization is treating the family. And that's so nice to hear because I'm sure with that many games, guys going on, like these away series, they're longer away when the NFL is only 17 games. So like, yeah, it could be lonely, but, like, I'll see him eventually. Like, I'll get around to him. But even hearing about, like, traveling as an MLB family, because, correct me if I'm wrong, some teams you're allowed to go on the team plane, only the.
- [34:12]
C
Two teams I've been on. It's only the family trip, which is one trip a year to one city. And then sometimes it's the post season, so you can go for the post season. So, like, when my son was 2 months, my first son was 2 months old when we did the World Series and all that. Like, we went on the plane every single flight, every city, which is great because you don't have to book your flights. And it's like, you know, you could, like, lose and then have to fly back or win earlier than the series. You know what I mean? Like, you could clinch earlier, and then you'd fly home that night versus the next day. So it's. It was nice to have that. But no, we don't normally travel with them, or we can't. So we have to travel separately. And then they do. I mean, they have, like, 168 games or something. I actually don't even know the exact number. I think it's 168.
- [34:58]
B
He's like, it's a lot.
- [34:59]
C
It's a lot. It's like every day they get a couple off days a month, but usually. Sometimes the off days are like. I mean, and then when it's a couple of month, it's like we've got events or things or, you know, like, it's a. Or sometimes it's a travel day, or sometimes you spend the off day in the other city. And I'm always sad. Cause I'm like, an off day, but it's.
- [35:15]
B
Oh, my gosh. You're like, okay, I'll see you when I see you. It's okay.
- [35:20]
C
I don't think I'm going on that.
- [35:21]
B
Trip, but, like, I'll see you when I see you. But. So you. You guys were with the Astros for, I mean, quite a bit of his career. What was it like leaving all those friendships?
- [35:34]
C
I feel like that's always the hardest part about leaving somewhere is, like, the people. And just my family's there, too. So, like, my family, his s. My parents, his sister all live in Houston still, and, like, she has a daughter. So I think that part is hard. And my son met his, like, best little friend Lucas on the team. They're like two. They're so cute. They're, like, the same age. And my son has brown hair and he has blonde hair, and they just, like, run around. They're, like, the cutest thing ever. They have a cute little friendship. So that. That was hard to leave just because, you know, you've already You've built. Like, you said, like, these are girls I can call up and be like, hey, having a crisis, I need you to come over. Or, hey, I need something. And they will, like, show up for me, and I know that, and I'll show up for them. Like, that kind of friendship, that part's hard to leave, I think. But I've always been super. I think this. I mean, I'm sure you might feel like this, but, like, I kind of have to go with the flow. Like, if I don't my life, I would be, like, going crazy. Because our life changes. Everything changes all the time. And it's moving and things. Plans are changing. And now we're traveling here and this thing happened and, you know, it's just kind of chaos and crazy. So, like, I feel like I kind of, like, give into it a little bit because I'm like, you know, I'll figure it out, right? Like, I'll get there and I'll figure it out fully.
- [36:48]
B
I. Towards the end especially, I was like, I don't care anymore. I don't care what doctor my baby is pulled out of my body from. I don't care what hospital. Like, my husband, like, I would, like, if he was there, but, like, if he's not there, like, actually, whatever, I will figure it all out. Craziest thing is, I didn't even plan to have, like, a postpartum help of any kind. And I was getting a C section, and it was the middle of football season, so, like, that was kind of crazy. But I also feel like it, like, this lifestyle kind of, like, brainwashed me to be like, I could do anything on my own. Like, I'll figure it out. And now in hindsight, I'm like, I was not going to figure that out alone. I would have been actually fucked. Like, I would have not been.
- [37:32]
C
Okay, now, did you know you were having a C section? Like, was it planned?
- [37:36]
B
Yeah, she was breached. And she was breached from 30 weeks. So I had no choice. And I knew that was happening. And granted, like, we could choose, like, what day I went in and got my C section. But, like, everything after was just kind of. I don't know what's about to happen. But you know what? I didn't feel like planning. I was like, if I plan, then it's gonna go haywire for sure. So I just was like, whatever. And it ended up happening where my husband got released. We ended up giving birth in a different state.
- [38:03]
C
We. We moved.
- [38:04]
B
It was crazy.
- [38:05]
C
Yeah. So then how do you plan for that? You Can't. It's like almost impossible to predict what say, you know what I mean, like to know that would happen.
- [38:13]
B
So plan A, B, C, D, E. It like it goes on and on.
- [38:19]
D
I think it's safe to say that we're all just trying to live up to the version of us that our dogs think we are. So my dogs, Frankie and Gus assume that like I have everything together. You know what, actually they probably don't. Because back when I was postpartum, I would forget, you know, an hour to pass their breakfast time. And they became obsessed with Chewy just as much as I did because Chewy has everything together. They have food delivered fast. I had everything on auto ship and I'm happy, my dogs are happy and I'm not forgetting food and having my husband go out to the grocery store at unreasonable hours. If you guys are new to Chewy, it is trusted by over over 20 million pet parents. They have over a hundred thousand products from top pet brands and they make it easy to find everything from food and treats to bed and toys and all delivered to your door within one to two days. You guys, they even carry stuff for birds, fish, reptiles and other small pets. I actually just placed a very large order because our neighbor let us know that fleas are all around the yard. So I placed a fat Chewy order. Chewy has everything you need to keep your pet happy and healthy.

C site for complete details Now I can't really say much when it comes to men's underwear, but I can speak on behalf of my husband and my husband is obsessed with Sax. Okay, so if you guys are new to socks, Sax makes men's underwear that has been described by publications like Men's Health as life changing. So their goal is to get more men to experience their patented ball park pouch technology and see how this next level comfort can benefit their day to day lives. Saks has been changing the game since 2006 and has on professional athletes that you know and love. Attesting to their love of Saks underwear, they have styles for every situation from lounging to high intensity sport. I'm talking marathon training. Like if you think my husband looks sweaty, like I can only Imagine the crevices besides the point. So Saks underwear features technology like cool and cotton breathable fabrics and no right up legs. And it's worn by over 100,000 men and professional athletes alike. I feel like this is so great for women to know because Sax underwear is the best gift you can get. A guy support his balls so that he can focus on what matters, you know. But really these make an amazing gift because most guys don't really buy themselves new underwear, you know, unless somebody else makes them and you know it. Maybe when they're not having to readjust throughout the day, they're going to think of you anyways. You've got the shoes, the gear, the playlist. But now your underwear is still stuck in 2009. Saks underwear is designed to move with you, not against you. With moisture control, next level breathability, and the ballpark pouch that keeps everything in its lane. It's performance from the base up because you don't cut corners of the gym. So why would you start with underwear? Check it out@saks.com that's s a X S.

B
They say like children are very. What is the word? Like not versatile, Adaptable. They're very adaptable.
- [42:41]
D
Right.
- [42:41]
B
So how has your older son like taken to the new move to Boston?
- [42:47]
C
So great. He's so. It's crazy. Like I, I remember my parents saying I was kind of like this as a kid. So I'm like, maybe that's just kind of where he gets it from or I don't know. But he's like very, I mean literally. I signed him up for like a couple days a week of a little program thing here and he was like thriving, like loved it. And then like he's met so many new people. He loves the family room here. He loves all the people. Like, he. You know what I mean? He just, like, it took him a little while to understand, like, what his dad is doing. Like, he's like, kept saying, ask.
- [43:17]
B
He's like, he's what?
- [43:19]
C
No, like, it's this team. I'm gonna try to, like, explain that to, like, a three, two and a half year old, but he does really, really well. And I think I've learned that too. Like, kids are very adaptable. I am not the most scheduled mom. I just have a very hard time keeping a schedule because kind of like what you said earlier, like, I know if I plan too much, things go so haywire that it doesn't work. And I found that, like, not doing that works better for my lifestyle and kind of where we're at. And so for me, like, that was the hardest part. I was always like, oh, my gosh, like, am I gonna mess up if I don't have this schedule or I don't do these things or whatnot? And it's like, he was very adaptable. Cause, like, literally, the whole World Series thing was just so crazy when he was three months old. And then it's like, then we did off season, and that was crazy because we won the World Series. So it was like, it was just crazy on crazy. And then he's staying at my parents for two nights, and it's like, I'm like, wait, what about his bedtime? Like, is he gonna, you know, like, shift and whatnot? And what I learned after all that is, like, they're just so adaptable and, like, same thing. Like, to have their. Like, you need to make sure he gets enough sleep, need to make sure he's well fed. Like, all, you know, like, the basics. And then it's like, okay, I can adapt and things will be okay. Like, it doesn't need to be perfect.
- [44:28]
B
No, the schedule goes out the window. I'm like, what time is her nap time? I'm like, whenever she's tired, like, I kind of used. I followed wake windows to a T. Like, that was my thing. But it was like, wake windows. If we're in the car, you're sleeping, and I'm gonna keep driving. If we're. You're gonna stroller, I'm gonna figure out a way to, like, keep you in that stroller as long as I can to get a nap. So for us, it was always, like, naps on the go. Like, us being very, like, hey, we're fluid, so we need this baby. To be fluid. And it worked out in that way. I can't make it home for every single nap time. That's just not. I don't know that I can do that.
- [45:04]
C
No. And then, like. Like, you think about, like, I see that you guys travel on, like, your TikTok and stuff. And so, like, how does that work with her? I mean, do you feel like you. You kind of just flex with, like, whatever, you know, the timing and the naps and all that stuff? Because I kind of feel like that I do. But I'm always wondering how other people do it, because with traveling, I mean, it's different traveling, too.
- [45:25]
B
She is. She impresses me every day. Like, when we went to Europe, I think we were there 10 days. She was quickly adjusted to the next time zone. And then when we came home, I think it took her two days to get back adjusted, and she was just like, go with the flow. I'm like, I don't want to talk her up too much, because I know then the second baby is going to be like, absolutely not. I'm not falling for this, like, your first one. But it is crazy. I think it's just because we. We lived our lifestyle, like, since she was born in that way, so she was never like, oh, I'm taking naps every single day in my crib. This time to this time, it was like, oh, we're always on the go. So she just learned to nap on the go. Some parents can't do that.
- [46:08]
C
Yeah, I'm not.
- [46:09]
B
I'm. I'm one of the parents that can do that.
- [46:11]
C
I can, too. I'm like, you stay in that stroller as long as you can't. Even my son now I'm like, should I try to be more scheduled with this one? I'm like, no, I can't. Because, like, what if something happens in a couple months and we're traveling and I just. I feel like I've always. I also. And this is my own hot take, but, like, I want to enjoy my life with my kids. Like, I want to be having a good time, too. And, like, that may sound selfish, but I feel like it makes me such a happier mom. So I'm like, if we can go out and, like, actually make it out to a restaurant that night, and he can come with me and, like, nap on the way in the car or, like, you know, like, there were, like, things that I feel like I was willing to compromise a bit on that so that we could both enjoy together, because I know if I was stuck at home And I know if I never went out or I had to, like, felt like I always had to be home for that, that I would not be as happy as a mom. And I think just with our lifestyle, it's like I. I needed some of those things to, like, for my own mental health, you know, like to get out and to do stuff and to be around people. And, like, part of that came with him having to come along and do all the trips and do the, you know, stay out or come to the games or whatever.
- [47:15]
B
Absolutely. And that's when people are like, oh, how did you get her to, like, adjust to being on planes? And I was like, she doesn't know any different. Like, she's been on a plane, like, so many times in the first year of life that she's like, oh, we're going into playing cool. Like, great. I know that, like, new toys are about to show up on my lap on this plane ride.
- [47:33]
C
So I'm excited. That's fun. And that's a good thing to do too. Like the novel toy thing on the plane.
- [47:39]
B
Yes. Oh, yeah. I'm like, we're checking out the iPad at the airport. I'm like, that's what you know.
- [47:47]
C
But it is.
- [47:49]
B
It is crazy to. To find ways to, like, make parenting, like, more enjoyable and, like, fit your lifestyle. I don't think when it comes to parenthood, it's like a one size fits. All right. And that's why when anybody says they're doing anything different from, like, what my parenting style is, I'm like, oh, if that works for you, that's great. As long as our kids are happy, healthy, fed, and caring for love. I'm like, right, great, Great. That's awesome.

Like, everyone's gonna have something different. And I think that's where I struggled a bit at the beginning with my son, was because our lifestyle's so different. Like, my husband gets home at, like, 11. He's eating dinner at 11, 11:30. And then it's like, he needs to stay up a little. He does physical therapy after that. Like, we're not going to bed till very late every night. So for me to put my child to bed at 7 does not work for my lifestyle. Cause I can't get up at 5, you know, I just. I don't. That's not my schedule. But I know it works for other people because they're on. They can wake up early because their job is early. Right. So it's like finding what works for me and being like, okay, it's okay if I'M not like everyone else, because this is what works for our lifestyle and our family, you know, And I think that is something, too. I mean, you're right. Then. I try to do that with other people. I'm like, you know, I. We do not have to have the same parenting style, but, like, you know, mine's gonna look different based on what my family needs and what my son needs and what I need. You know, it's like a whole picture thing, I think, too. But that's the part with sports I think that makes it so hard, is like, honestly, like, our schedule is just not great for kids. Like, it's not ideal for kids or school or any of that. It's like navigating. How to.
- [49:21]
B
Navigating a lot of. Navigating a lot of. Okay, what are we going to do here? I have to ask, are you planning to bring your two boys to games this year?
- [49:31]
C
I just was at a game yesterday with them, and I actually went to all three games this weekend, which I normally never do. My mom was in town, and they're playing the Dodgers, so I was like, I'm going to go. So I took them to literally all three games this weekend. But, yeah, I did. I took both of them. But there's like. Like, they said they have, like, a family room, so my son's kind of occupied half the game there, like, with me, and he likes. My son is obsessed with baseball, so that helps. Like, very convenient.
- [49:56]
B
Because his dad's an mlb.
- [49:57]
C
I'm like, thank God. It's like, this is what you're doing for entertainment. Like, half the time, you better like going to games. Right? But he likes watching. Like, now he's, like, asking me questions. Like, I feel like he's, like, exceeding my level of what I know already is, like, so why does that happen? I'm like, we're after the game.
- [50:16]
B
Yeah. We're going to have to ask Daddy later tonight because Mommy has no idea. Mommy didn't see that Mommy was doing a diaper change. Like, we'll figure that out. When you look at the past two years of moving, like, two kids, kind of some crazy turns. When it comes to your husband's MLB career, what is one thing that you're proud of yourself for handling?
- [50:42]
C
Oh, I think, for me, honestly, maybe postpartum, I just feel like that was one of the most challenging things in my life. Like, it really was so hard looking back, just mentally more than anything. So I think I'd probably say that.
- [50:57]
B
I think a lot of moms are going to Resonate with you on that one. Me especially. I mean, I think postpartum is probably one of the hardest things I've ever been through. And now coming out a year and a half later, I'm like, wow. Yeah, I did that shit. I'm like, am I right?
- [51:10]
C
Exactly. You're like, did it right. I know. That's the thing, too. Then you do it again. I swear, though my experience has been better. I'm very happy about that. It's hard because now you got, like, two things. Like, two people, you know, Two people to worry about. Worry. Yeah.
- [51:25]
B
Two people to worry about buildings falling on. On top.
- [51:28]
C
Exactly. And I haven't had those fears this time, thank God.
- [51:31]
B
I love to hear that.
- [51:33]
C
Like, not at all. Like, I don't even think about. Yeah, I think I have, like, normal fears now, you know?
- [51:39]
B
Like, you're like, is my son going to throw a truck at my newborn's head? That's a real fear.
- [51:43]
C
Exactly. A real fear. When he has a truck in his hand and is like, you know, or like, he's hitting baseballs. Like, I need to turn the baby this way. Like, you got a little pitching machine. I'm like, okay, you are not allowed to turn this thing on if Bennett is in the vicinity. Like, I've got, like. I've got to explain that to him. Like, do not do that. You know, so it's like, heightened fears of those things, but, like, not those unrealistic, like, post ppa. Like.
- [52:07]
B
Yes.
- [52:07]
C
You know.
- [52:08]
B
Crazy thoughts. I was gonna say crazy, but I'm like, they're not crazy, but, like, you know, like, the fears that you're like, this probably wouldn't happen.
- [52:15]
C
Like, when has this happened in the last hundred years? Just randomly, just out of the blue. It's like, it was like a nice apartment building, remember? I just never wanted to walk by it because I was like, what if.
- [52:28]
B
This looks unstable to me, and what.
- [52:30]
C
If it goes right on us? You know? It's like, that was. Yeah, exactly.
- [52:33]
B
And we're right here.
- [52:34]
C
Relatively new build, too.
- [52:36]
B
Yeah. That you're like, this is whatever. But it's good to hear that you're, like, feeling so much better in this postpartum. And now that baby number two is here and you're settling into Boston, what are you looking forward to in this next chapter?
- [52:52]
C
I'm honestly. I'd hate to wish away the newbornness, but I really am excited for my kids to be able to play together. Like, what you were saying about them playing together. Like, I can't wait for that. Chapter. And like, right now, my son's three in, like, three days. He's so fun to travel with and like, to do stuff with. Like, he's. I like hanging out with him and, like, I think he's a fight. Like, yeah, he has his tantrums and whatnot. But, like, I enjoy doing the flights with him and I like the trip. So, like, I'm excited for when they're both that age. I think it'll be really fun to, like, do. Like, our life is crazy. All these travel, traveling adventures and things. And I'm like, I think that will be a really fun phase. I think me and my husband both are kind of realizing it now. Like, look how cool this is. Like, we made a little human, you know, like, that has thoughts and feelings.
- [53:40]
B
And is super funny and, like, kind of crazy.
- [53:43]
C
Yeah, like, he has his moments, but, like, he is. He's funny. Like, he tries to make jokes and we're like. It's actually pretty well timed. That was good.
- [53:52]
B
Like, he gets his humor from me.
