November 16, 2020
This week, Laura talks about her pregnancy nesting instinct kicking into overdrive, and Shanna wonders if she should drop her toddler’s nap. Also, in the special segment “Throwback,” Shanna reflects back on the time in 1996 that she spontaneously got a haircut, how it all went wrong, and how her mom saved the day. Finally, they reveal their BFPs and BFNs for the week. Shanna’s toddler is 22 months old, and Laura’s toddler is 21 months old. Laura is 23 weeks pregnant.
