Sophia is here! In this episode we recount bits and pieces of Ash's labour, talk about the importance of the birth partner, how Ash had Chas "prepare" for birth, the potential effects of our new baby on sleep and routine, and Chas draws a parallel between birthing and a grade 9 HPE test...



Competitive Minds the book has also landed! We elaborate a bit more on last episode's description of what the book is about a competitive mind is and tackle a comment by someone who was triggered online by the word "competitive."
