The following podcast is a Dear Media Production. What's up, guys? 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 pregnant. I was gonna say my name. Hey, guys. I'm Alison Cooch, but I am pregnant. And today I'm gonna be doing a Q A episode all about my pregnancy. And I'm almost halfway, which is pretty far along, I think. I announced I was pregnant with my daughter Scotty when I was 16 weeks. So I'm a little bit further along than that. And it's crazy because I'm. I just, I hate keeping secrets. And I didn't even intend for it to be a secret. Right? Like, obviously the first trimester, a lot of people wait to not announce that they're pregnant until after the first trimester for a variety of different reasons. But I. I think I just like, kind of forgot. And I didn't forget because, like, I wasn't excited or something. I genuinely just feel like so much life was happening. And I also have a almost two year old. Life has just been so busy. I feel like I've been on a plane every single week. And another thing that a lot of people are probably gonna hate me for, I've had virtually no symptoms. I think there's been like a week or two where I was so exhausted I felt nauseous because exhausted I felt. I've felt really no nausea, except I got sick, but that wasn't even related to the pregnancy. And yeah, I would say my biggest symptom has been tiredness. So I kind of forgot I was pregnant. And then I was like, wait, I should get maternity photos. And then I had a conflicting with the, like, maternity photos, like pregnancy announcement photos. And so it just kind of got away. And yeah, so I'm a little under 20 weeks and I'm due in April. I don't wanna say the exact date because then people are just gonna be commenting like, have you given birth yet? Have you? I bet you she gave birth. I bet you she did. It's like, okay, if I'm keeping that part a secret, just let it be a secret. It's not even a secret. It's really just privacy. So today I'm gonna talk a little bit about my pregnancy and how it's been and how it's been different from my last pregnancy and all of that. Isaac was actually supposed to be on this episode with me, but our daughter's sick, unfortunately, and so he's on sassy duty and I am Filming this in our bedroom, I don't take a look at the surroundings a little too much because I halfway cleaned this room just so I could film. So let's go ahead and jump into it. Also, I just feel like I have to say, like this podcast is not going to be all about pregnancy. I feel like on social media I am gonna be posting about pregnancy because I feel like on social media I post about my life. But I do want this to maintain a very like sports related podcast. Um, and I know not everybody wants to hear about pregnancy content or family content or I don't know, some people may be struggling trying to conceive or struggling with their own battles. So I just wanna make that very clear that like this isn't going to be a motherhood podcast. So with that being said, let's go ahead and jump into it. How long have I known? Um, I found out when I was very early, Isaac and I were trying to conceive. So I was tracking my ovulation. I think I found out at like four weeks pregnant that I was pregnant, which I didn't find out I was pregnant until about six weeks with my daughter. And yeah, all I have to say is those two weeks really matter because I don't know, I just feel like that's two more weeks that you're like waiting, if that makes sense. And then how did you find out that you were pregnant and how did you tell Isaac? So I actually didn't find out I was pregnant with a pregnancy test. This is gonna be so weird and like very like. How do I describe this? Not like, like voodoo ish. I found out I was pregnant through my dead grandma. So I put out into the universe I. You. I literally made a video and I said, I'm making a video. I could be pregnant right now because we were trying and I. My dead grandmother, I don't know what else to call her at this point. She, her name's Martha, so I guess we'll just call her Martha. But she has been passed. Me and her were super close growing up because my parents both worked full time jobs and my grandma was essentially like our nanny. So we obviously were very close with my grandma. And then when she passed away when I was in college, Shook left behind presents for us for Christmas and the present ended up being a owl jewelry box. And on the inside it said I will always love you. And now I just see owl signs. I saw one the day I got engaged, the day I got married. Like I see them during crazy times in my life and it's very peaceful. But I actually found out I was having a girl because of my dead grandma, AKA Martha, because I put out into the universe, oh, I want to see either an owl with a pink bow or an owl that's blue. Very specific, right? And I saw a pink owl, and then, lo and behold, I was having a girl. So this time I was like, I don't want you to tell me the gender. I want you to tell me if I'm pregnant. So I put it out into the universe. I was like, if I said this all out loud into a video, I said, if I'm pregnant, I want to see an owl today. But I had no intention of leaving the house. I wanted the owl to be outside my house because I've owls in my house, not real ones, but you know what I mean? And so I put that onto the universe. Me being out of breath, recording a podcast. And we randomly got a call from some of our friends that moved into their new apartment, and we drove over to go see them. And the second we pulled up, they go, you guys, look, there's an owl. And I was like, I'm pregnant. I didn't take another. I didn't take a test for at least, like, a week or so. I just was little anxious to take a test. So then I took the test. Me and Isaac took it together. I love that people take tests alone and then surprise their significant other. I just can't do that. I just am physically incapable of holding a secret. And I. Then I was like, I just feel too much pressure. So I was like, you know what? This is special. You only find out you're pregnant so many times in your life. And I want to find out with my husband again, because that's what we did when we got pregnant with our first daughter. And, yeah, so Isaac and I found out together, and it was great. Isaac in the reaction video was, like, shook. He was like, no way. He's like, I can't even handle. Like, I can't. I'm like, we were literally trying to get pregnant. Like, what? I guess it's. It's interesting because, like, you know how to get pregnant, but it's like, when it actually happens, you're like, oh, we. We really weren't trying to conceive when it came to our daughter. And I say that, like, laughingly, but I know it's, like, a very serious topic. Like, a lot of women go through infertility, but it. I. I'm. I don't know how else to say it. We weren't really trying. She was kind of a surprise. We were. We were in range that we were like, oh, if we have a child, like, there's gonna be no. Like, oh, I'm stressed. But so it was. It was a surprise, but, like, it wasn't intentional this time. It was very intentional. And I feel like he was more shocked. Hey, buddy, buddy, buddy. You were there when we were taking the ovulation test. What do you mean? Like, he was in the room when it, in fact, happened. So we were both, obviously, super, super excited. And, yeah, we're just really excited for Scotty to be a big sister. We don't know the gender yet. We'll find out the gender soon, but we're really, really excited. And. Yeah, I don't know what else to say. I. I'm really excited about the timeline, but, like, the age gap that they're gonna have, because I feel like I. It's a sane. In terms of mom and her emotional and mental health, it's a sane age gap for me. I knew I wanted to avoid two under two at all costs, but it's not. Me and my siblings are three years apart. And I do feel like that was, like, bigger than an age gap that I wanted for my children, if possible, because I know that's not always, like, you plan for things, but not. It doesn't always work out. So we're just really excited. Scotty has no idea what's happening, though. And then how did our families react? So I'm not gonna lie. I struggled in my first trimester, like, mental health wise. And so we actually didn't tell our families until, like, a week ago, like, and I announced. I announced, like, a week ago, and we told everybody within the same week. And I have no regrets with that. I just feel like my first pregnancy, I have some, like, PTSD of, like, telling some people and then not really, really being ecstatic or. I don't know. It's weird because Isaac and I have been married for. Since 2021, so it's like, why wouldn't people be ecstatic? But I just feel like there were situations that led me to, like, not want to tell anybody, which is sad. And I even recorded TikTok drafts that I don't know will ever see the light of day. But there were even. I even had, like, friends that were like, oh, I don't think you should get pregnant yet, like, this time. And so I made the decision, and Isaac was totally on board. He was like, I don't. Like, we can tell people whenever you want. So I made the decision to just kind of wait until I felt ready to tell people, and then we told people and I feel good about it. And if anybody were to get mad at the fact that I waited, well, you can do differently when you're pregnant. The older I get, the more I realize I am a less is more kind of girl when it comes to fashion, skincare and also my makeup products. I I'm a type of person that if it takes me more than 10 minutes, I'm less likely to do it. And so the older I've gotten, the more I've kind of created a more minimalist routine, especially when it comes to my makeup, because I like products that enhance my beauty, but I don't want it to take too long. So products that go a long way are the products for me. And that's where Jones Road beauty comes in. I want to take a second to talk about the Jones Road Beauty Miracle Balm because this and enhances your skin instead of just masking it with layers of makeup. And again, I think, you know, layers of makeup is important for like a red carpet or somewhere. You're going like full glam. But I'm not a full glam kind of girl. Every single day I'm looking for something that kind of makes my skin a little bit more of like the same complexion that kind of hides some of that discoloration. And that's what this miracle balm does. It kind of takes over and just makes me look a little bit better. And I love that because it is so effortless and it also gives me that effortless natural look that I'm looking for. So this is totally simplified my routine a ton and just replaced multiple steps because it's one product.

Well if you didn't know, now you do know. And I have been really trying to stay as hydrated as possible, especially because the pregnancy needs when it comes to hydration are so much higher. But I hate the taste of water actually sometimes kind of makes me gag and so including a little addition to my water is sometimes necessary. And I like the fact that there's options out there that also enhance my water. And that's where Cure comes in. With cure I'm able to stay hydrated without all the sugar and junk and that's why I love it. If you're like me and you don't drink enough water or you don't like the taste of water, cure makes it really easy and actually enjoyable.

So workouts, travel mornings or just to make your water taste better. And they're also science backed so it uses the same formula proven to hydrate as effectively as like an IV drip which I'm scared of needles so staying away from those I will be drinking Cure.

If you guys are interested in checking it out like let yourself run, lift, sculpt, push and go explore the new Peloton cross training tread@1peloton.com if you guys are watching this on YouTube or like watching it visually, I just want to apologize for the lighting changes but I want to record this podcast and the sun's going down so we're working with what we got. But anyways to. To wrap up the telling my family and friends I don't. Maybe some of you can relate to this that like I almost wanted to protect my peace and by doing so and like protecting like my happiness around this baby. I didn't tell people which is so weird right? Because I am married. I already have a daughter. It just like I don't. I don't know. But I. I have no regrets with the decision I made and decisions to tell people, not tell people. I just felt like I waited until the time was right for each individual person and I'm happy with how that came out. So it is what it is. Yeah, I feel like I have, like, weird there that I don't even want to go into that because there's been issues with that aspect, which you think there wouldn't be, but there have been. Anyways. Does Scotty know? So we took the pregnancy test, and immediately I grabbed my daughter, and I was like, there's a baby in mommy's belly, literally the size of a poppy seed. But there's a baby. And she probably doesn't understand it now. I mean, it's been a few months. So now, like, I'll point to my belly and she goes, baby, baby. And I'll ask her if she wants a brother or sister, and she'll say, sister. But if I ask her if she wants a sister or a brother, she'll say brother. So still undecided on that. But she loves her baby dolls, so I just kind of feel like her baby doll is getting a little bit of an upgrade. And I feel like I. I don't. I haven't really started to, like, prepare her in any sort of way. If you guys have any tips, please tell me, because I don't want her to feel like she's being replaced, obviously. But I know that we have to prepare her in some way, shape, or form. Even if we're just, like, preparing me and Isaac and like, our routines to. To prepare her, if that makes sense. Predictions on what kind of big sister I think she'll be. I think she's going to want to parent my. My child. I think she's gonna want to be, like a second mother. So I'm a little anxious about that part. Just, like, getting home from the hospital, like, her immediately wanting to, like, hold her, or every time I hold the baby, immediately wanting to hold her. But I still want her to be involved in as much as possible. So it's going to be like a balancing act, if you will. And next one is about the age gap. Does this age spacing feel right to you? This age gap feels so right to me. Isaac and I were kind of aiming for the two and a half year mark. We wanted more than two years, but less than three. And we're doing. I mean, I think it's a little under two and a half years apart. So I'm very, very excited about that part because I think the. If I had a baby right now, I think it would be a little hard on me because I don't feel like she's done being a baby yet. Now in a few months, I feel like I will have been able to have soaked up of that as Much as possible. And maybe she'll be potty trained by then because she's already showing interest in that and she's talking in sentences now. So I already feel like we're like, I don't know what's going to happen in a few months, but, like, I already feel good about that now. How am I feeling? I. I did have a bucket list before baby number two, and people want to know how I feel about everything I've accomplished before getting pregnant. So I feel really good. I. Obviously Isaac and I were trying to conceive, so, like, I knew that not everything in that list was going to get done, but I liked having a list because it g me things to work towards. And I'm really proud of myself for everything I've done up to this point. I put on my list that I wanted to run a marathon, and I didn't do that before I got pregnant, but I will be doing that while pregnant now. Will I run the marathon? Probably not. Will I run parts? Yeah. But I. I think it's more so about completing the marathon. And that is what I'm really excited about. If any of you guys who are watching are thinking, like, oh, like in the next few months, I like, obviously want to start trying for a baby or you're thinking about that. I highly recommend making a list and really working towards that list. Not to say it's like your bucket list, but do things do change when you have a child or two children or three or four, And I think you just owe it to yourself to like, really go all in on your goals and writing them down. There's something. There's some research. I'm so unappreached. There's some research that says if you write down your goals, you're more likely to achieve them. So I'm really proud of myself. And then we're just gonna have to figure out my. My next list after baby. I should have a list of things I want to accomplish before the second baby gets here because I. I do feel like time is flying by. This pregnancy is flying by. That's another reason I waited so long to announce because it just felt like it was flying by. I'm like, wait, I feel like I'm still in the first trimester. No, sister, you most certainly are not. I can't even believe I'm pregnant. When did that happen? Okay, now, baby number one, verse. Baby number two, what's different this time? Everybody is probably going to assume, like, certain genders again. Isaac and I don't know the genders yet. But I am going to talk very blatantly that this is a very different pregnancy in terms of a lot. I feel way more exhausted. Way more. I feel like with now the, the issue is like the first pregnancy, I wasn't chasing after a toddler and I probably sat down way more. I probably worked like on my couch a lot more. I probably watched more movies. Like, I can't really remember being this exhausted. My God, me burping. I am so exhausted to the point where I'm in my second trimester. I thought I was gonna get my energy back. Nope, have not seen any increase in energy, which is really difficult because I am training to complete a marathon. And. And with that comes 10 mile days, 12 mile days. I'm like, fuck, if I don't get my workout in before 12, it's not happening that day. Which is really unfortunate. But around 5pm every single night, which it's 4:22 right now, so that time is coming. I. I get to a point where I'm like, I need to sit down, I need to disassociate. I can't do this. And my husband actually was just in Berlin this past week and I struggled. I was like, sister, we gotta play some games. Playing down because I'm mama's tired. So I'm way more tired this time around. I've had no nausea, like, virtually no nausea. There's never been a day where I'm like, oh my God, I can't keep anything down. Have not thrown up. Super, super grateful because I have emetophobia, which is the fear of throwing up. And it's a real fear. Like, actually my daughter threw up on me yesterday and I. I almost threw up. I just, I have a fear of throwing up now. I. I think it's a little bit different. Like if somebody, if Isaac throws up. Oh, get the frick away from me. My daughter throwing up on me. It didn't faze me, probably because I'm a mom and now I went into mom mode. But I still had like a moment where I was like, oh. So I'm just really grateful that I haven't thrown up and I haven't felt nauseous. That was my number one fear my first pregnancy that I had is like, you know, people throw up their first trimester, right? Some people throw up their entire pregnancy. So it's kind of a wild card, right? Like, you don't know how you're going to react to pregnancy until you get pregnant. And for me, if you watch my first pregnancy, like us Finding out that we're pregnant for the first time, I was terrified. I was terrified because I was so scared of throwing up. I wasn't scared of a child. I was scared of throwing up and getting sick. And it sounds so stupid now in hindsight, because I'm like, you should have been a lot more scared of a lot other things. But I was terrified of throwing up and getting sick. And I didn't deal with that in both of my pregnancies. First pregnancy, I was nauseous, but I never threw up. And this time, no, I've been, like, gaggy. But that's. That's about it. Another difference is that I've been so hungry, I could literally eat this microphone. I'll be after a workout, I'll be driving home, and if it's longer than a five, ten minute drive home, I'm stopping. I'm pulling over at a fast food place or a gas station. Gas station. Snacks have been going crazy. I'm now I keep like a little snack pack in my car. Not for my toddler, it's for me. And it's to the point where I feel like I'm dying if I don't get food. And that also hasn't changed. I wake up, I eat, I get ready to go work out. I eat, I get to the gym, and I buy these little protein balls at the gym that are so good, I'm literally dreaming about them right now. I eat, I work out, probably eating immediately after. So a lot now in terms of the mental or emotional preparedness, I feel way more prepared this time around, which is not surprising. My husband is not in the NFL this time. My husband has a stable career with NFL Network and he's broadcasting on CBS local, and I feel really good about that. We're not planning on moving out of our house. The house that we're in is the house. I will be coming home to the hospital. To home from the hospital, too. I'm keeping the same OB gyn. The first time I was pregnant with my husband playing in the NFL, I switched OB GYNs three times. Yes, three times. First time I got the OB GYN here in California. Second time I got an OB GYN in Las Vegas because he was playing for the Raiders. Third time, got back to California and got my old OB gyn. So there was a part where I thought I was giving birth in Vegas, and then I was like, wait, we're giving birth in California? Oh, shoot. I don't. I hope I don't go into labor while driving from Las Vegas to California. So this time I feel way more mentally and emotionally prepared and people might have questions because I dealt with postpartum depression. I am not scared of postpartum depression this time. And if it happens, I know how to deal with it in some capacity. Like, I. It'll still suck, but my husband is more prepared to deal with it. I'm more prepared to deal with it. I have a good group of friends here, whereas in. I didn't really have a community when I first moved back to California just because NFL, like, we didn't live here year round. It was hard to like, get friends that way. So I feel way more prepared. I'm also pregnant with some of my friends and that's really exciting. One, literally, one of my friends here in California, literally lives five minutes away from me, has a. I think it's a two week different due date, but she's gonna be giving birth at like 37 weeks because of, like, her first labor had like, difficulties. I'm so excited because we can go through everything. I just feel like, way more prepared. And so if postpartum does. If postpartum depression does come around, I feel more prepared to at least deal with that. And we'll deal with it and I'll survive. And I know that I did it the first time and I can't do it again, but I. I'm curious to see how much more of a stable environment and stable job and friends and all of that will come into play when it comes to mental health. What lessons have you learned from last time? Oh, I've learned so much from my first pregnancy. Jesus Christ. Like, I think I'm way more chill. I think I'm just, like, letting everything happen. I haven't bought one single baby item. Although I didn't really buy a ton until basically a few weeks before I gave birth with my first pregnancy. But I just feel, like, way more prepared and I feel way less anxious. I'm like, oh, a hostile bag. Like, we'll figure it out. I don't know, like, we don't live that far from the hospital. We'll figure it out. And that's how I feel. I feel really at peace. And I honestly, I don't think if I. I don't think we would have started trying for a baby unless I felt that way. Like everyone says, oh, there's no perfect time to, like, have a baby. I disagree. I disagree. I feel like everybody, like, there's no perfect time to have a baby in a certain way. But, like, it's Everybody. Everybody's timing is going to be different when it comes to them feeling prepared emotionally and physically. You guys, the holidays are here. Oh, my God, I'm so giddy even just saying that. Which means long days, festive nights, and plenty of outfits you have to pull together. And if your bra isn't keeping up with you this season, it's time for an upgrade. No, I'm not kidding. No. Because the idea of holiday shopping all day long and just feeling like an uncomfortable bra that you just can't wait to rip off at the end of the day, I never have to feel that way because I have Honey Love. So most bras are uncomfortable and come off the minute you get home. But Honey Love is different. Their wireless bras are so soft, lightweight, and supportive, you'll actually forget you're wearing one. And that's my kind of bra. Whether you're traveling, running around in cozy layers, or dressing it. Holiday parties Honey Love bras give you that effortless lift and support without stiff wires or bulky padding. And you guys, I can actually speak to this because I'm not blessed in the area where I actually have to wear a bra. Like, if I'm not wearing a bra, you guys can notice I'm not wearing a bra, and I feel uncomfortable. I just feel better and more confident whenever I'm wearing a bra because something's got to keep those girls up. But it doesn't have to be uncomfortable. In fact, when it comes to honeylove, I have fallen asleep many times in their bras. And that's saying something, because the fact that it hasn't been ripped off the second I get home is saying a lot. It's designed to move with your body and not against it. So no more digging straps, underwire pokes, and constant adjusting. Just breathable support that feels like a second skin wherever the season takes you. So go ahead, ditch the wires, ditch the discomfort, and step into confidence this season because your bra should make you feel good, as good as your holiday looks make you look. If that's. If you guys are picking up what I'm putting down, treat yourself or someone special to the most comfortable and innovative bras on earth. This holiday season.

You guys, I need to take a second to talk about Roback because their new loungewear is officially my new obsession. We're talking hoodies, joggers, crew necks that feel like like clouds. And somehow I still look very pulled together. I have been living in comfy clothes these days, right? I just got out of my first trimester of pregnancy and when it comes to my everyday outfit, I'm usually picking something very comfortable and that's where Roback comes in. So usually I'd be the one stealing Isaac's loungewear, but this stuff is so soft he actually might try and steal mine if it fits. It's that perfect balance of cozy and elevated, the kind of stuff you can wear from a coffee run straight to the couch without missing a beat. And I do not miss a beat these days. I also recently tried out their Vista collection, which is their first launch of legging sets. And they are so unbelievably soft. Like literally so unbelievably soft that like my husband's like, wow, those are soft. I was shocked when I put them on to make it even better. They come with both a tank and a full jacket to make it fit feel like a full look. And I love a full look because it takes out a lot of that guesswork. And then you can add the Bedford mock neck, which basically broke the Internet when it launched. You can add that to the mix. And then you've got the dream Comfy capsule. The mock neck is almost completely sold out in all three colorways. It's that good. If your fall wardrobe is due for a little upgrade, this is it. The new Ready and Vista collections are everything. Comfortable, flattering, and just too good not to live in. Use the code Sunday on roback.com for a generous 20% off your first order through the end of this week. That's R, H O B A C k dot com.

What are you excited about with this pregnancy that you love from your first pregnancy? I Am so excited to give birth. It's so weird. I will be trying for a vback, which is like vaginal birth after C section. My first birth was a plan C section and I loved it. Honestly, I have no complaints. I really loved it. I love my doctor. I got to choose her birthday. We knew we were having a C section on that day. We had like a last dinner, last supper, please. So I really loved my birth the first time. This time I will be trying for vbac. However, if it comes out to being. If they're predicting like a ten pound baby because Scotty was about nine and a half pounds, maybe I'll go for another plan C section. I'm just kind of seeing how I feel mentally and emotionally because I'm like, okay, I know how to do a C sect. Well, I don't, I don't really do anything for a C section. I just kind of lay there. But I, I know what that entails. I know the recovery. I know everything about that. A vaginal birth, I'm a little anxious about. Like, I want that experience. I don't know how to describe that to anybody who like, hasn't had a birth before, but I want that. That experience of them, like, laying the baby on my chest and like doing that. But if I don't get that, I weirdly feel at peace if I don't get that. And I didn't feel that way when I had my daughter. I was like, I'm going for a V back next time. I was literally on the operating table and I was like, I'm doing a V back next time. He's like, yep, okay. I'm like, totally behind you. Which having a doctor on board with a vbac is very important. And there's no medical reason I can't have a vbac, if that makes sense. Like, it's not like my body couldn't progress. It's not like my hips were too narrow. It's just the fact that Scotty, honestly, it's my daughter's fault. It's Scotty's fault. She was just breach and she wouldn't turn. And I didn't want to risk her life or my life trying to manually turn her, which, yes, is a thing. And I looked at the videos. Look, Google evc. Manually turning a baby. I'm like, ooh, it just wasn't worth it to me to try and do that because the cord could have been wrapped around. Like there's a reason she wasn't turning. And I was like, you know What? I'm gonna let go and let my ob GYN cut through seven layers of something. Next up, we'll talk about privacy. So what are your thoughts on privacy of pregnancy? So you guys know I don't show our daughter on social media. She's not a secret. But I do like to keep her private just for, like, I don't know, a lot of. A lot of different reasons, actually. Just, like, exploiting her memories, exploiting her. I don't feel like she should have to, like, have a social media job. Like, she shouldn't be in ads and, like, she should just live her life as a child. Right. And then on top of that, it's like, also the safety of her getting recognized and just people knowing who she is. So I don't talk about it a lot because I don't want to draw attention to it. So we just. She's just private, right? In terms of pregnancy, everything is happening to me now. If something has happened, if I get, like, test results based off of, like, the baby inside my body, I'm not going to talk about that. And you guys wouldn't know any different because I'm not talking about it anyways. Like, it's not like, oh, I'm on my way to get my test results. I hope everything's good. No, it's just. I'm not talking about it. So the things that I want to keep private, I just don't talk about it. Pregnancy, I. I talk about because I'm like, this is happening to me. Like, if I'm. If I'm having. Like, if I. If the smell of burnt toast makes me nauseous, I'm gonna talk about that. Which it really does. Prediction. Do you think it's a boy or a girl? I think it's a boy. I genuinely think it's a boy. I think it's a boy. Just because of how different this pregnancy is. It's not even, like, that vastly different, but I just. I. I think it's a boy. Isaac is very keen on thinking it's a girl, so it'll be interesting to find out. People are probably gonna ask, like, do you guys have a. Like, a gender preference? And I grew up with a sister, so I think it would be cool for Scotty to have a sister. But, like, we also don't have a boy, so it feels like a win, win situation. I feel like gender. I do agree, gender disappointment is a very real thing, but. But in terms of, like, do I want her to have a sister so bad that, like, I would Be disappointed in a boy? No. I think Isaac and I might want two or three kids. So, like, if we had a boy, we might stop. If we had a girl, we might stop. It doesn't matter. So I don't know. I think I'm having a boy, though. And Isaac thinks he's. We're having a girl. He's having a girl. Please. And what do I think Scotty would prefer? I don't think she would care. I think that she has boy baby dolls and she has girl baby dolls and she doesn't have any preference. So I don't think she would have gender disappointment either. And then name ideas or nursery theme. For boy names, we have like three names picked out. Boy names are so fucking hard to pick. Are you kidding me? How do people have four boys and find four boy names that they don't absolutely hate? I have three boy names, and the only reason I have three boy names is because I don't know if I like any of them. So I'm like, okay, I guess I could choose this name. I guess I could choose this name for a girl. We only have one name, so if it ends up being a girl, it will be, well, I'm not gonna say the name, but it. Look, we would know her name. If it's a boy. We have no idea what his name is. He might come out not having a name for a few days because we might be like, this name. This name. Literally. I was on chat GPT being like, okay, if I like this one boy name, what are some other boy names? But then you, like, don't want it to be too kiddish because you're like, he's gonna grow into a grown man. And then for girl names, I feel like it's a little bit more like Dottie, which is not the girl name we chose, but I feel like Dottie. And like, okay, I could see a little girl being named Dottie, but like, I can see an old woman being named Dottie for a boy. I'm like, chester, I'm not eating my kid, Chester. But like, like, I should do the baby names I like, but I won't use like, Chester. I'm like, I can't name a one and a. I can't look at a six week old and be like, hey, Chester. No, that's a grown man's name. And then nursery theme. I think either way, either if it's a boy or girl, I have the theme picked out. I kind of want to do like a little cowboy, like darker, like moodier nursery Scotty's nursery is, like, nautical or like beachy. So original. We live in California. We get it. But I think I want to go, like, western, which is funny because we don't. We live in California. We don't own a horse, but I just think that would be really cute. So to be determined, though, we actually did end up giving an office space. We like, we live in a three bedroom house, but one of our rooms has a Murphy bed and it was also an office that is no longer going to be. We're probably going to keep the Murphy bed in there just because, I mean, Scotty still sleeps in her room, but, like, in terms of, like, having a room, I like having a nursery for my babies. Just, like, make memories in there, keep their clothes in there. I just like having that. Okay, that is my one thing that I like having that everyone's like, oh, it's like, you don't have to have that. No, I want that. And so we ended up getting an office space that now we have. We're renovating it to be like a podcast. Drop back so that the lighting doesn't change like this when I record podcasts at night. And then we'll just keep it a guest bedroom slash nursery because we'll just get like a. A crib on wheels or we'll move the crib if, like, we have guests coming in to stay in town. And I feel good about that, so really excited for that. And yeah, that's it. That's it. This is kind of a short podcast. We didn't have eyes again, so there wasn't a ton of talking. But if you guys have any other questions. Oh, my God. Sorry, I keep hiccuping or burping or both. If you guys have any other questions, feel free to head over to our Instagram. I'll pop up a Q A question box on Sunday so that you guys can go and like, put in more questions and we'll do a Q A, a second Q A. Maybe that'll come out around, like, Thanksgiving time and we can talk more things. Baby number two, if you guys have any other questions.
