Two Parents & A Podcast

Nicknames vs full names, pregnancy anxiety & our “no-toys” gift list

04 Dec 2025

Description

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast we’re deep in baby-name land — specifically the very important question: if you’re only ever going to call a baby the nickname… why give them the long name?! 😂 We’ve FINALLY got two frontrunners we’re excited about and can’t wait to share… in April after he’s born LOL. We’re also excited to share that we are OFFICIALLY hosting a toy & coat drive at the Austin Motel (!!) — details coming very soon. Later in the episode, we get into some outstanding Q&As: what’s helping me with pregnancy anxiety right now, how we divide and conquer parenting at social events, and what to do when one parent becomes the clear favorite. Plus — our experience-only holiday gift list is here for those who do not have room for more toys 😂 Oh — and in Things We DMed Each Other: are modern diapers too good?! Which launches us into a very real potty-training bicker and… this week’s Bicker of the Week: airplane window shades up or down during landing? ✈️ #twoparentsandapod Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & a Podcast! 00:03:30 We’re becoming “my kid is a genius” art parents after Tate’s first art project 00:06:55 Why is it so hard to type on an iPhone? 00:11:35 Baby boy name talk: long names vs nicknames 00:16:16 We’re hosting a toy drive! 00:18:50 Chocolate molten lava cake belongs on every menu 00:26:01 Q&A: How do you handle pregnancy anxiety? 00:30:42 Q&A: How do you split parenting duties at a social event? 00:37:13 Q&A: Do you get upset when the other person is the favorite parent? 00:40:00 “We don’t need more toys” gift idea list 00:45:48 Things We DMed Eachother: Are modern diapers TOO good? 00:50:37 Bicker of the Week: airplane window shade up or down during landing? 00:53:03 LOVE YOU GUYS! --------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to our sponsors this week: *Veracity: Make the switch to GLP-1s the natural way.
