With the birth of my first son, also came the birth of a whole new world. In this episode, I talk about the importance of preparing for the fourth trimester with much, if not more, emphasis as preparing for labor and delivery. Hindsight is 2020! Boy, I wished I'd prepared as much for life after birth as I did for the birth itself.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
