Longtime Listener, First-Time Parent Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show

On this episode: Elizabeth, Lucy and Zak help a longtime listener who’s expecting her first baby. We’ll offer suggestions for how to manage your whole life changing in an instant – plus, enjoying the before-times, and staying afloat in the aftermath.

We’ll also debrief with a round of triumphs and fails — with nary a fail in sight this week.
