The Bump & Grind: Recent Episodes
Alana & Holly
Whether you’re a mama-to-be or mama-to-many, the only thing that’s certain is every week brings the unexpected - the good, the bad, the highly comedic (after of course, enough time/crying/laughing that is).
Each Tuesday, grab your coffee/pump/libation of choice, and join one newly pregnant sister as she talks (& laughs, A LOT) with her mom-to-three sister about all things pregnancy, motherhood, kid, and family-related. You know that feeling after a PROPER girls catchup? It’s like that, belly aches and all.
Hold onto your hats/babies/bumps! This past week brought Holly's holy grail with one very special slide into our DMs. The B&G is surprised with our (unplanned) first guest who finally takes care of the sound effects Holly is always after (just maybe not the kind she was looking for), the sisters share some very special mom-ologues, & talk the first few weeks postpartum as well as the "classes" Holly's little ones have been taking. Oh and of course, our highly unqualified pivot into talking mental health - lie down on the couch why don't ya!

Cue Munch's "The Scream" painting: this week Alana & Holly talk all the juicy details of Alana's BIRTH STORY!!! And from Holly's "Bump & Grind" corner (since she could now practically host this show alone with the 3 miniature people plus 12 week bump), we're schooled in the terminology of "genital reveal" and Holly's youngest is a skeptic of her mom's truth-telling & demands proof!

This week holds Alana’s last appointment before her due date & Holly’s first one of her fourth pregnancy, & the two play verbal ping pong between the “bump” and "grind,” (because what day IS it even anymore?!) & discuss all kinds of wives tales from what the sex of your baby will be to how to naturally induce labor (spoiler: do not put that pineapple anywhere other than your mouth).

Alana & Holly talk Week 36 of pregnancy, internet safety for grandparents, Holly the Geneticist makes a guest appearance, & no matter how hard we try, we just cannot get off the topic of boobs. Also, you're welcome for the bonus virtual tour of our spice cabinet (can these two ever stay on task??!)

Alana & Holly talk Week 35 of pregnancy, Holly's contingency conundrum if schools don't open in the fall, & run their usual random gamut all the way from perineal massage to kids pooping in the pool. But wait, there's more [cue the 3am blue infomercial]: A LOT MORE.
Holy kasdjfkl;asdjl;kfasdkl;fakl;sdf!!! This is a bombshell of an episode. But really. Like for everyone (including the hosts!!!). If you're ever going to listen to an episode, THIS IS THE ONE (cue the Jonah Hill screaming gif).

Alana & Holly talk about A LOT OF BIG CHANGES that have seemingly happened "in a week," ;) including a MAJOR update from Alana's side (or should we say front!) and the effects of Covid, quarantine, & being a working mom of 3, on her little ones (& her own sanity).

Trigger Warning: A slight heads up however, as you know we always intend on being your weekly dose of lighthearted pregnancy and motherhood rambling, but as it turns out, you can’t script life. So this episode is unfortunately a bit heavier than all the others and describes an emotional journey with pregnancy loss, containing in depth discussion on birth trauma and baby loss which some listeners may find distressing
To add to the bummer of this episode, Holly's audio for the first 4 minutes was somehow corrupted! Bear with us for just a few minutes and then we promise it gets back to normal :)

Alana & Holly talk Week 17 of pregnancy, sullied traveling teddy bears, the Stephen King thriller that is the general grind of bedtime and sleep for Holly’s littles, and the hilarious inefficiencies of the post office and baby passport photos.

Alana & Holly talk Week 16 of pregnancy, Holly's #1 Grind struggle: kids and food, her husband's foray into showbiz, and the magical oddity that is a "Grandma fridge." This week's episode tastes like adult dunkaroos, and that my friends, is a very good thing.

Alana & Holly get together for what was supposed to be a midweek lightning round of random Q&As (think birth plans & preferences, first weeks of postpartum, & breastfeeding). As will come as a shock to no one who regularly listens to this podcast, we loosely stuck to that, but more accurately went on our merry way of tangential paths (through forests with birthing foxes).

Alana & Holly talk Week 15 of pregnancy, hypnobirthing, Holly plays doctor (yet again) trying to explain the RhoGAM injection, and our affinity for game shows clearly just can't keep itself out of this podcast.

Alana & Holly face their first congressional hearing covering Week 14 of pregnancy, first trimester anatomy scans, and challenges of deciding on early childcare.
(NB: I know we promised in Ep. 2 that our rookie audio issues would be fixed, but it’s apparently still amateur hour over here for Alana; so bear with us for the first half of this episode til it sorts itself out!)

Alana & Holly talk Week 12 of pregnancy, NIPT results, baby names (& their way more exciting nickname evolutions), traveling with children, all while debating whether we are indeed subconsciously becoming more like the ever-alliterative and punny Heidi Murkhoff (What to Expect When You're Expecting author and personality) than we’d like to admit.

Alana and Holly talk Week 11 of pregnancy, NIPT screening, kids’ birthdays, pumping, and Holly’s postpartum symptoms 1-year out.
NB: Podcast rookies over here! Forgive the imperfect audio quality of this episode - it won’t happen again. You’ve heard your kids make that promise and know the weight it holds, right? Kidddddding, we’ve got it sorted after this one ;).

Crack open the, er, sparkling water and let’s get this show on the road! Alana and Holly birth this podcast out into the world (it’ll be a bit longer for the baby) and talk peeing on a stick, finding out you’re pregnant, the first 10 weeks, and Holly’s clumsy googling fingers.
