Yeah. Like
it's not your birthday anymore.
Yeah.
Or maybe every day can be your birthday.
Every day could be your
birthday. Yeah. I love that. Then I that's fine with me. Um, all right. Welcome back to another episode of Two Parents in a Podcast. You guys, today we have Dr. Brown back in the studio. We have a lot of new listeners though. So we haven't talked to you on here since May. So we're gonna have to reintroduce you. Dr. Brown is our source of truth, as I call it. Um, she is a pediatrician here in Austin. She is the author of the 411 series. She's got them beside her. So expecting better baby. Ex expecting better. Expecting four one one, baby four one one, toddler four one one, and now This bad boy. This is the pregnancy deck. That you made.
Well, my co-author who is an OB. So this is legit information on self-care for pregnancy. So it's really focusing on taking care of the pregnant mom and reminders to take care of yourself week by week with some really nice tips. So it's the kind of gift that Everyone in your circle can give the pregnant mom or you give it to yourself.
It's the cutest thing ever. It's very I think the thing that 'cause you said it'll be at anthropology. And that's what hit her
source, yeah.
That's what hit that's like the exact if you're not watching here, if you're watching, here it is. It's really, really cute. But it just looks like something you would pick up at anthropology in the little accessory area. It's it's really cute. Um, okay, so Also, what we do with Dr. Brown is we ask her all of our questions. And this episode is heavy on listener questions because I and my questions. Because I'm uh you're calling it toilet training, not potty training, I've noticed in your notes.
I don't care what the internet calls it. It just is. We'll we'll talk about this milestone with that whatever you wanna call it.
Well, I thought it was potty training and then I learned we were toilet learning. as they call it. So anyways, we'll discuss it because you don't like pull ups. And I just moved to pull ups yesterday so I can unmove. But Tate Tate keeps asking for a diaper, not a pull up. So I think I've got a chance to maybe remedy what I've done. Um Anything Anything else we need to add about you? Well you're like on the board of everything. Give us some give us some accolades.
Wow. Um, so my day job is I am the founder of four one one pediatrics here in Austin and I see patients every day and that's my joy and I You know, I'll do it forever. I'll probably die in exam room one. Really? Um yeah, no. It's really I mean, it it's what keeps me going. It makes me want to get up in the morning and be with families and really support them and and their journey. And I get to watch parents grow and I get to watch babies grow and it's it's really um an honor to do that. But that's what my day job is. And then I do all kinds of advocacy things outside of the exam room. And so I am a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. I write parenting books. I do a lot of social media and education.
I do consulting. So but it's all in the name of supporting families and educating them and empowering them. And that's and then that's what you
do here. Yeah you educate us and you empower us. Yeah. Because we have so many parents that I was thinking about it today on the way here and I was like, how funny. Like I was just because a lot of my friends from college either have kids, a lot are pregnant with their second. some are pregnant with their first and I was just laughing, thinking like We used to just be pulling an all nighter in the library and now like we I'm responsible for telling like this child yes or no. Like when did I nobody gave me I didn't take a test to do it.
