Speaker 1: Wind Down with Janet Kramer and I'm Heeart Radio podcast.
Speaker 2: Okay, so today's episode, we are well, actually, I'm in
Speaker 2: a hotel bedroom and well, I can't say where I'm at.
Speaker 2: I'm in the middle of nowhere, Arizona. So that's where
Speaker 2: I'm at. Girls, where are you?
Speaker 3: I'm just in my office at home.
Speaker 4: I'm at a lake house.
Speaker 5: Wait, didn't you just where's baby?
Speaker 6: He's with She's with me, have baby will travel. So
Speaker 6: we decided to just hunkerr for three days three sleep
Speaker 6: really just two full days to like let the kids
Speaker 6: fish and get outside. And we have a data home,
Speaker 6: which is rare in June, so we're just hanging out.
Speaker 6: We just moved, we relocated. It's just our family, the
Speaker 6: Core five, so it's still quiet and cozy and we're
Speaker 6: just doing life here with the little scenery for a
Speaker 6: couple days.
Speaker 5: That's awesome.
Speaker 6: I think my husband to avoid postpartum depression anxiety.
Speaker 2: I love I love that you guys are at a
Speaker 2: lake that's amazing. Yeah, three times a trim mark and
Speaker 2: you're in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: I'm in beautiful downtown Burbank right now.
Speaker 2: Yes, you are studio and so today we're going to
Speaker 2: do a little Q and A episode because we haven't
Speaker 2: done one of those in a minute, and we have
Speaker 2: the pleasure of having Mark to ask the question.
Speaker 1: So can I ask my question first before we get
Speaker 1: into their questions?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Sure, all right, Well let's just dive in, shall we?
Speaker 5: Should we say to your question?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I could. I like mine better than theirs,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to get it in and I like
Speaker 1: it that. I feel like I can ask you very
Speaker 1: personal questions and it doesn't phase you in the slightest,
Speaker 1: which is great because there's other shows where we'll do
Speaker 1: a Q and A and they'll ask a personal question.
Speaker 1: Oh I can't talk about that, or I edit that out.
Speaker 1: I can't talk about that. You've never done that to
Speaker 1: us ever, and I did.
Speaker 2: One time, okay remember the last It was maybe two
Speaker 2: Q and A episodes ago, and I was like Mark,
Speaker 2: I just I can't talk about this person or they're
Speaker 2: going to keep going out.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, legal reasons. Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well yes, and I think this person liked to
Speaker 2: be talked about.
Speaker 1: Oh, if that makes sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, my question is the okay, I just the you're okay,
Speaker 1: So to recap, you're pregnant. My question is that one
Speaker 1: motivate the other. Did the pregnancy cause the urgency to
Speaker 1: get engaged because you announced them in the opposite order.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if it happened in the other order and
Speaker 1: there was a reason for that.
Speaker 5: It's a really good question, Thank you. And I'm actually
Speaker 5: let's see how do I say this?
Speaker 2: So when we met uh and we had the early
Speaker 2: conversation of not early conversation, it was probably like well
Speaker 2: like February when you started having like all right, what
Speaker 2: do you what do you see? Like what's a crystal
Speaker 2: ball thing for? Like what are you kind of thinking?
Speaker 2: And so that's when we kind of had the discussion
Speaker 2: where he was like would you ever have their kid?
Speaker 2: And I was like, well, I've already you know, I said,
Speaker 2: like I've always said no, and I've talked about that before.
Speaker 2: But I told him and this is I can't remember, Kat.
Speaker 2: Was it you were Kristin I called crying about this
Speaker 2: timeline of things? It might have been a new Kat,
Speaker 2: do you remember or was it UKB.
Speaker 3: I mean know we talked about it, but I think
Speaker 3: you might have called Kristen upset about that.
Speaker 4: I think this was the first class chat.
Speaker 5: The woe wasn't.
Speaker 4: This the first class chat?
Speaker 6: We were on a flight coming home and we had
Speaker 6: this like really sentimental moment about the timeline and the
Speaker 6: order and we were on a plane.
Speaker 2: Okay, so basically what I was expressing. And I remember, yeah,
Speaker 2: having the conversation where I got emotional about it because
Speaker 2: I've obviously had plenty of not plenty, but I've obviously,
Speaker 2: you know, been married a couple times, even though in
Speaker 2: my brain I just think the one, because that to me,
Speaker 2: was my only marriage. But I with him, I wanted
Speaker 2: to do it the way that you grow up dreaming about,
Speaker 2: where you get engaged, you get married, you.
Speaker 5: Have a baby.
Speaker 2: And I got really choked up about it because I'm like,
Speaker 2: I can't, right, So if we want to have a kid,
Speaker 2: I and but we also want to be married and
Speaker 2: engaged before that. My age most likely isn't going to
Speaker 2: allow how I have thought and dreamt it in my
Speaker 2: fairy tale brain as a kid.
Speaker 5: Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So I got really upset about it because I'm like,
Speaker 2: damn it. I was like, I, of all of everyone
Speaker 2: that I've been with, this makes me like an emotional gun.
Speaker 2: I was like he's the one person that I wish
Speaker 2: I would have given like all those like first too,
Speaker 2: and so that piece was like, but I had so
Speaker 2: I had to kind of go, Okay, well that's not
Speaker 2: what it's going to look like because I don't have
Speaker 2: the luxury of time, my ovaries, all those things to
Speaker 2: go in that fairy tale order of what I wanted.
Speaker 2: So when we kind of discuss things, I was like,
Speaker 2: all right, yes, you know, let's try. And in his
Speaker 2: brain he always said, he's like, you know, we're going
Speaker 2: to get engaged and married no matter what. That that timeline,
Speaker 2: so it kind of didn't really matter what became before
Speaker 2: the other.
Speaker 5: For me, I I really didn't like at first.
Speaker 2: I really was like, yeah, we should probably get engaged first,
Speaker 2: but it didn't matter that we got pregnant before we
Speaker 2: got engaged. It truly was just like, I know, I'm
Speaker 2: going to spend my life with him, So the order
Speaker 2: at that point became irrelevant.
Speaker 1: How long into this relationship when you both knew that
Speaker 1: this was.
Speaker 2: Heading towards marriage, Well, I mean definitely when we I mean,
Speaker 2: this is cheesy, but I definitely when we first met,
Speaker 2: I was just like, Wow, I'm I'm like I've never
Speaker 2: felt that before, like ever, not even with any my
Speaker 2: other verse. So something felt really different about that. And again,
Speaker 2: I just think, like how we are together, I mean,
Speaker 2: the respect and love that we have for each other
Speaker 2: is any unlike anything I've ever felt, unlike anything ever
Speaker 2: that he's ever felt.
Speaker 5: So it just I don't know, it just worked.
Speaker 2: And girls, I don't know if you have anything to
Speaker 2: like at like it's just I'm so different, but like
Speaker 2: a better version, like we would never have worked five
Speaker 2: years ago.
Speaker 5: I'll say that.
Speaker 2: I mean I know that he you know, he knows
Speaker 2: that too, So I don't know, girls, what do you think?
Speaker 3: I think that you knew pretty quickly?
Speaker 5: And I think, what did I say?
Speaker 2: What did I say to you when two weeks after
Speaker 2: I met him? I even I even took a video
Speaker 2: of it, y'all.
Speaker 3: That you were going to marry him. I know it's crazy,
Speaker 3: but I'm going to marry him.
Speaker 2: I said that in front of Queendom. I'm like, guys,
Speaker 2: I raised my hand and I was like, I know
Speaker 2: this sounds insane. I go, but I'm going to marry
Speaker 2: this man. And Catherine's like, I know, and Kristen, I
Speaker 2: can't remember what you said, but Sarah goes, wait, wait, what.
Speaker 5: She's like, you just met him.
Speaker 1: I go, I know, I know, now you know him
Speaker 1: and you love him, and you're excited about this whole thing.
Speaker 1: But at the time, did that scare you? Addressing the queendom.
Speaker 2: Now, No, because because I've never said it, I've never
Speaker 2: said it, and that's the first time, right, Kat, you've
Speaker 2: ever heard that mark.
Speaker 3: Are you asking if it scared her?
Speaker 1: If it's scared I'm asking if it's scared the queen them.
Speaker 6: Nothing scares me anymore. With Kramer, my answer would be
Speaker 6: yes and no. I think it felt very different. I
Speaker 6: believe from the second she said it is they would
Speaker 6: get married. But I think I still have a little
Speaker 6: bit of that hesitation and fear as I think you
Speaker 6: did at first too, just because.
Speaker 3: Of being hurt so many times. Had nothing to do
Speaker 3: with him, had nothing to do with anything other than
Speaker 3: what if this happens again? But that was quickly, I
Speaker 3: think for her and for me more normal, because I'm
Speaker 3: usually the one that's like, oh God, like, what are
Speaker 3: they going to do? You know more than her, But
Speaker 3: that was quickly subsided, honestly on this one.
Speaker 5: And you've never heard me say that.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, you've obviously been married before, but it
Speaker 3: was about a I didn't know you for the first
Speaker 3: but you know, no, And even though the marriage to
Speaker 3: Mike was rather quick, it wasn't like it was not
Speaker 3: like that at all, not at all.
Speaker 4: I really, I just knew we were in.
Speaker 1: But are you were you happy about that or were
Speaker 1: you nervous about that? Or were you concerned about that?
Speaker 1: Like I like my first thought was concerned. And I
Speaker 1: don't know her as well as you guys do.
Speaker 6: No, I wasn't nervous, and I don't know why. I
Speaker 6: just there's something really special about Alan. And I'm not
Speaker 6: just saying this because she's here, said this to anybody
Speaker 6: that's asked. Like, Alan's a different accountability for her. He's
Speaker 6: a different kind of guy. He's a very there's some
Speaker 6: like old school pieces of him that I really love
Speaker 6: and respect a lot. Like he's not going to just
Speaker 6: go with the flow because that's what we all do.
Speaker 6: He's he's like he challenges and he pushes back on
Speaker 6: some things. And I've really liked that for her because
Speaker 6: Janna and I are very similar humans, Like we can
Speaker 6: we can make a homeboy a welcome at pretty fast
Speaker 6: if we want to, I'm just gonna say it the
Speaker 6: way I want to say it. So I really like
Speaker 6: I felt something similar even to my own marriage, Like
Speaker 6: when I had met Preston, I was like, this is different,
Speaker 6: challenging and different and quick, but just so different that
Speaker 6: it's like when you know, you know, and when you don't,
Speaker 6: you don't. And so I saw that come over her
Speaker 6: and I was like, Okay, I'm here for this. And
Speaker 6: I would listen to some of the facetimes here and there,
Speaker 6: and I thought, this guy is just it's like he's
Speaker 6: going to make her level up to a different level
Speaker 6: that even she hasn't been in a relationship and she's
Speaker 6: capable of and is always wanted, but she just never
Speaker 6: had somebody that's like helped her meet at that level.
Speaker 3: Before I do say though, I want to go back
Speaker 3: to the Christmas party for Queendom. And we all have
Speaker 3: very different personalities when it comes to this. So you
Speaker 3: definitely had Kristin who was like, yes, like love story,
Speaker 3: I'm all in love, love, love, love love. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm just kind of sitting back, half terrified, half she's
Speaker 3: doing this so.
Speaker 1: Or not that seems like your relationship up with her
Speaker 1: in a nutshell, by the way, that emotion right there.
Speaker 1: For a long long time.
Speaker 6: Catherinees Cathroom's a relationship with Janna is okay, I'm a friend,
Speaker 6: but also writing a press release at the same time.
Speaker 3: Got it too. But then you have like Pamela and
Speaker 3: over here like can we please talk logistics? Like can
Speaker 3: we just talk about logistics? And then you have Sarah
Speaker 3: who was just like what are you doing?
Speaker 4: Like she was so confused.
Speaker 3: I just wish we had a camera for that night
Speaker 3: because it couldn't have explained all of us any better.
Speaker 3: And Jana's just smiling like, yeah, I'm getting.
Speaker 5: Mess it's happening. We're planning a wedding.
Speaker 1: I mean, my reaction when I heard was like, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a metaphor, you know. Jenna was she had
Speaker 1: a very she was in a pool and she had
Speaker 1: a really bad time in that pool and she almost
Speaker 1: it almost took her down, she almost went under, and
Speaker 1: so she was like, that's it. No more pools for
Speaker 1: me for a long time. And now she's doing a
Speaker 1: cannon ball.
Speaker 4: And we're all on the sidewalk, porkcark.
Speaker 2: The funny thing is is he had no idea even
Speaker 2: that Queendom Knight that I did any of that that
Speaker 2: I said, because we never even talked about it. That
Speaker 2: was because that was just two weeks in denying each other.
Speaker 6: Hey, I would and I say this one thing because
Speaker 6: this piece is really important to me, and this is
Speaker 6: like all of our characters aside. I feel like the
Speaker 6: one thing that I really liked about that night was
Speaker 6: it was the first time I really watched you trust yourself.
Speaker 4: And I had watched you not trust yourself for.
Speaker 6: So long, and I have watched everyone you date tried
Speaker 6: to chip away you trusting yourself, and this was the
Speaker 6: first time that you were just kind of unapologetically like
Speaker 6: I'm going to get married the Scottish guy.
Speaker 4: And I was like, I'm here.
Speaker 2: For this, like because I didn't ask and normally I'm
Speaker 2: like do you like him?
Speaker 5: What are you saying like this?
Speaker 2: I'm always asking that do you think he's cute? Like?
Speaker 5: And then I was like, I don't care what they think.
Speaker 3: No, that was definitely a huge, like I think sign
Speaker 3: for us for sure, like the Queendom wasn't blowing up,
Speaker 3: like what does this mean? And what does that mean?
Speaker 3: And do you think and do you know it was
Speaker 3: just like it's happening.
Speaker 4: By Sarah came back to the queendom check because I
Speaker 4: got so quiet.
Speaker 5: Queendom got real quiet.
Speaker 1: Well, and one more question. We talked about this with
Speaker 1: a little bit about him knowing the past and everything
Speaker 1: and reading up about you know, all that stuff. But
Speaker 1: when do you reveal all that stuff to him? You
Speaker 1: don't let him go look in the in the tabloids.
Speaker 1: At some point you have to sit him down and say, look,
Speaker 1: so here's the deal, here's what you're going to find
Speaker 1: out there, here's what happened.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: That's got to be a tough conversation.
Speaker 5: Catherine's laughing right now because.
Speaker 4: There was literally the most perfect question.
Speaker 2: Sorry, because Catherine, I can't even remember, was it I
Speaker 2: brought it up to you, right, Kat?
Speaker 5: I think so yeah, where I was like, or.
Speaker 2: You might have asked like does he know? And I'm like,
Speaker 2: I think you might have asked that first in the
Speaker 2: very beginning, and I'm like, well, he's never brought it up,
Speaker 2: so I'm like, I'm assuming he googled me, right like
Speaker 2: I googled him, So I'm assuming he knows my past
Speaker 2: and he didn't like when we first met, it didn't
Speaker 2: really come up, which normally I feel like I'm always
Speaker 2: on defense to have to have that conversation and be like,
Speaker 2: I know my Wikipedia pages and blah blah blah. And
Speaker 2: this time it didn't happen that way at all. He
Speaker 2: didn't ask me, and so then I'm like, but then
Speaker 2: it got so far into it that I'm like, I
Speaker 2: have to address it because if he what if he
Speaker 2: thinks I'm like hiding it. But he's never really asked me,
Speaker 2: so like, and for the first time in my life,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I've gotten to the place where I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm not ashamed of it anymore.
Speaker 5: It's a past.
Speaker 2: And sure again, in my weird, messed up brain, I
Speaker 2: just think I've had one marriage. I've had two weddings,
Speaker 2: one technical Elvis nineteen one, but like, you know, wasn't
Speaker 2: that was a marriage, So like that to me is
Speaker 2: like that one was like gone, but still it's still
Speaker 2: a part of my story. It's still something a thing
Speaker 2: I did when I was nineteen, so like, yes, I
Speaker 2: walked down the aisle to my friend's now husband, But
Speaker 2: then really my marriage, my seven year or almost seven
Speaker 2: year marriage, is the one that like we talked about
Speaker 2: because that was the most instrumental one in my life
Speaker 2: and the one that impacted me the most. And why
Speaker 2: would I bring up the other two because they weren't
Speaker 2: They were just a relationships in my mind. And he
Speaker 2: didn't say anything. So I'm like, but then I remember,
Speaker 2: I think Colin Katkoain Like, I don't know what to
Speaker 2: do because now I'm like, do I bring it up now,
Speaker 2: like three four months later into the relationship because he
Speaker 2: hasn't asked. And so then we were watching this TV show,
Speaker 2: you know, he was looking through some of my like
Speaker 2: he's like he had this like this little firestick thing
Speaker 2: and he goes, so, what are some of the things
Speaker 2: or movies where let's say, we can find him?
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh no, no, no, no, like
Speaker 5: this is silly.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. But he's like, no,
Speaker 2: i'd be funny. So he's like looking through and he
Speaker 2: searches my name and then he's like married Jonathan.
Speaker 5: Who's Jonathan?
Speaker 4: And I was like.
Speaker 2: And then I kind of just like ignored the question
Speaker 2: because I'm like, don't you know, and go, God, do I.
Speaker 5: Have to go through this right now?
Speaker 2: So I cook at and I go, I don't know
Speaker 2: what to do, like do I be like by the way,
Speaker 2: like and she's like, well, you should ask him, right,
Speaker 2: We were like ask him if he wikipediaed you.
Speaker 5: I guess.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was like I don't.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't really know what to do. So
Speaker 2: I kind of like we didn't go into it that
Speaker 2: night because I kind of changed the subject. And then
Speaker 2: I was like when I flew back to the States,
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, I almost feel like now I have
Speaker 2: to sit him down to be like this is what
Speaker 2: has what I've done. But and it was before Julie
Speaker 2: came over, So I was like, I need to tell
Speaker 2: him before Julie comes over that this whole, this whole
Speaker 2: situation and even the first abusive relationship guy that I
Speaker 2: married when I was nineteen in Vegas, that my face,
Speaker 2: like half my family still doesn't know about so uh
Speaker 2: how well, I mean unless they watch Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 5: I don't think my family's googling me. They know me,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like I don't think my uncle Roy or whatever is
Speaker 2: googling you know what I mean. Like, I'm sure they
Speaker 2: they found out from the Dancing and the Stars show.
Speaker 2: But before that they didn't because I wasn't you know
Speaker 2: so anyways, but I remember sitting on like the in
Speaker 2: the little kitchen area. I was like, so, have you
Speaker 2: like looked anything up, like with my past or anything.
Speaker 2: He's like, what do you mean? I'm like, God, he
Speaker 2: was making me like so hard, and I was just like,
Speaker 2: like googled Wikipedia relationships. He's like, yeah, I saw that
Speaker 2: you know, you had a few, and I'm like few
Speaker 2: marriages or a few.
Speaker 5: Like how many do you think I've had?
Speaker 2: It was so awkward, and I was like he's like, well, Mike,
Speaker 2: and then the mic and I go well. And then
Speaker 2: so it's like, my best friend Julie, who you're about
Speaker 2: to meet in about ten minutes, is coming over.
Speaker 4: Not only the doorbell, the cast.
Speaker 6: It's a good time to chat about it, Kramer, It's
Speaker 6: a good time. Right down to the deadline, I was
Speaker 6: like yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, we had a wedding, but we were
Speaker 2: never married. A week later, I was just like, this
Speaker 2: isn't my person, and I didn't know how to cancel
Speaker 2: the wedding, so on paper, yes we got married for
Speaker 2: a week.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And he was just like he asked, I think maybe
Speaker 2: one or two questions about it, and I said, but
Speaker 2: Julie is still my best you know. Julie then married
Speaker 2: him and we became best friends, me and Julie and
Speaker 2: it's great. He's like he had like literally nothing, it's fine.
Speaker 1: And all the scandals all that stuff is you have
Speaker 1: to address that or is no?
Speaker 3: He?
Speaker 2: I mean he he the one that one thing that
Speaker 2: was talked about. I you know, I've never spoken about it,
Speaker 2: but uh, we talked about that too and yeah, so
Speaker 2: it was like not an issue at all because he
Speaker 2: knows he had been with me longer than that person
Speaker 2: was and he's like, this is not you.
Speaker 5: And I was like, m.
Speaker 1: So and all this stuff with Mike, all the US
Speaker 1: weekly all this stuff, like he's up to speed. Basically
Speaker 1: he's up.
Speaker 5: He's up to speed.
Speaker 2: He knows and he's just like and but the thing
Speaker 2: is he loves me more for it, and that's what
Speaker 2: I love. That's why I love him so much too,
Speaker 2: because he's never made me feel guilty shameful around it,
Speaker 2: and he's just like, your your past is your past,
Speaker 2: and I have a past too, and things I'm not
Speaker 2: proud of and things that I've done and we've met
Speaker 2: at the right time, and so I appreciate that because
Speaker 2: I don't want to carry shame of it. I've let
Speaker 2: it go because it's not my shame to hold on
Speaker 2: to anymore. Someone feels uncomfortable about that, like that's you know,
Speaker 2: I can reassure them with things, with my actions and
Speaker 2: everything else. It's not mine to mine to have to do.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of a quote that I heard.
Speaker 1: It there's something about, yeah, scars, like you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: ashamed of scars because it means you were stronger than
Speaker 1: whatever tried to hurt you. And it's kind of like that,
Speaker 1: like yours on physical scars. You've been through a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff and here you are stronger than ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we address like, you know, I was like, hell, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was controlling. I was so controlling and I was
Speaker 2: like and then post that because I'm like, I'm so
Speaker 2: scared of losing things and like, but that's not that's
Speaker 2: not you know, I think there will be a piece
Speaker 2: of me that will always not always, but that may
Speaker 2: fear may come up. But it's also I know that
Speaker 2: there's nothing that I can truly control. So I had
Speaker 2: to like release those things and you know that hasn't
Speaker 2: been in our relationship.
Speaker 1: Well, we've gotten to zero questions, so let's get to those. Uh,
Speaker 1: do you mind if we take a break and then
Speaker 1: we'll come back and do these.
Speaker 5: Yes, please, thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's start these. Let's see what what you will answer,
Speaker 1: what you will not. Let's just tiptoe in here. Brittany
Speaker 1: asks when'd your due date?
Speaker 2: Janna, my due date or my c section date?
Speaker 1: Oh well, because.
Speaker 5: Those are two very different things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my due date is funny enough. So remember I
Speaker 2: don't know if I've spoken about this on the podcast,
Speaker 2: but my queendom knows is that my fortieth birthday. I
Speaker 2: said it's gonna like since I was how old cat
Speaker 2: like thirty one, thirty two, I've been planning this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to have the.
Speaker 2: Biggest fortieth birthday party ever. I mean I'm talking, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna fly my girls on like a plane and we're
Speaker 2: going to go to an island and we're gonna dance,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna have fireworks, and we're going to just
Speaker 2: like have the best fortieth birthday party ever.
Speaker 5: My due date's on my fortieth birthday.
Speaker 4: Wow, ruined it for all of us.
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2: So fifty is going to be the best fiftieth birthday
Speaker 2: party ever, but we're going to deliver the week and
Speaker 2: a half before.
Speaker 1: Okay, but you still won't be in any partying condition.
Speaker 1: Probably proy not it bees ready, No, but.
Speaker 2: I would love to do something and I'm but I'm
Speaker 2: a very much like I want to do it on

Speaker 6: it a prom date or is it a best friend?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: I was really hoping for Well, I think they could
Speaker 2: be both, right, because gender like, you know, I don't want.
Speaker 6: To mess up everyone's asking me too, because they're like, so,
Speaker 6: you guys have done every pregnancy together, does this one match?
Speaker 4: And I have no comment.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, we did the blood work too, We did
Speaker 2: the early blood work to check all the stuff and
Speaker 2: then to check the gender, and then we had a
Speaker 2: I did a had a scan.
Speaker 5: I had to go check on.
Speaker 2: That fibroid in Los Angeles when I was fle out
Speaker 2: there for filming, and they we did like the anatomy scan,
Speaker 2: one of like the first and ones, and they saw the.
Speaker 5: They saw the the part.
Speaker 2: So we are having a boy.
Speaker 5: Yay.
Speaker 4: So it's great because now Jana and I can be
Speaker 4: in laws with each other. Up until now.
Speaker 6: We've had best friends, which is awesome, but then we've
Speaker 6: never been able to like really seal the deal of
Speaker 6: this arranged marriage.
Speaker 4: And now again it's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great news and breaking news. Congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're I was. I was convinced it was a girl.
Speaker 2: I was telling Cat from the second I got pregnant,
Speaker 2: it's a girl, like, I mean, a thousand, million, trillion percent.
Speaker 5: Sure it was a girl.
Speaker 1: What was Jason Jolie's reaction to it's a boy?
Speaker 5: Oh, it was so cute.
Speaker 2: Well, so I got the paperwork, and Alan was in
Speaker 2: England with his kids, and and so the doctor was
Speaker 2: supposed to call Catherine with the gender and so. But
Speaker 2: when I was there, she's like, oh, here's the paperwork,
Speaker 2: like it was came on the same day as my appointment.
Speaker 2: She's like, you want to take the envelope and I'm
Speaker 2: like sure, So I sent a picture to Queendom. I'm like, y'all,
Speaker 2: I have the envelope. But Alan hasn't come home for
Speaker 2: two days. So I'm like, what do we do? Like
Speaker 2: do I look at it first? Do do I wait
Speaker 2: to see until he sees it? And I was even
Speaker 2: looking at the envelope and so Kat's like, open it,
Speaker 2: open it.
Speaker 3: I can't wait for stuff like that.
Speaker 6: All of our personalities played out in this one too,
Speaker 6: just perfectly. I'm like, no, it's the magic of being together.
Speaker 3: You can surprise him and do something awesome for him.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So maybe I was like, Okay, maybe I'll just
Speaker 2: I'll open it and then when he comes home, I'll
Speaker 2: surprise him with like either a pink soccer ball or
Speaker 2: a blue soccer ball, you know, and then they could
Speaker 2: we could still celebrate together. But then I was like, no, like,
Speaker 2: I really want that first thing together. So I ended
Speaker 2: up waiting those two or three days however long. It was,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, and it was sitting on my uh, on
Speaker 2: my little table in my room. And by the second day,
Speaker 2: I went over to the envelope to see if I
Speaker 2: could maybe get the sheet of paper out of like
Speaker 2: the creases because she she licked it, you know, So
Speaker 2: I'm like trying to like see if I can like
Speaker 2: tap the paper over, but it didn't work. The light no,
Speaker 2: because she she like I saw her fold it like
Speaker 2: a million times.
Speaker 1: So why not FaceTime with him? Why is there a
Speaker 1: happy medium you could do there?
Speaker 2: Well, I wanted to like hug them and like embrace
Speaker 2: them and have that like that moment.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: He wanted to do it over FaceTime, and I was
Speaker 2: just like, no, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't,
Speaker 2: I ca't Because he really wanted to know.
Speaker 5: He said, just open it, just open it, and I
Speaker 5: was like, I can't.
Speaker 2: So then he he comes back and it's really cute.
Speaker 5: I have the reaction.
Speaker 2: I filmed it and we opened it together and on
Speaker 2: the you know, in the bottom, it said boy. And
Speaker 2: I mean I was shocked, so shocked. And then and
Speaker 2: then we told the kids. I told, uh, did I
Speaker 2: tell Jolie? Oh no, we did the gender reveal for them,
Speaker 2: that's right.
Speaker 5: So then we did.
Speaker 2: So we found out secretly together and then we did
Speaker 2: the gender reveal for queendom.
Speaker 5: So and the kids.
Speaker 1: How did you do the reveal?
Speaker 2: We had I ordered like these confetti things from Amazon
Speaker 2: and so because I just wanted to have like a
Speaker 2: little celebration for the kids and the little party and uh.
Speaker 2: And then since the queendom didn't really know, I had
Speaker 2: kind of shared it, so, uh, KB there, So I'm
Speaker 2: I'm Catherine, So they knew.
Speaker 3: You already knew KB already knew.
Speaker 5: They didn't Oh you didn't know. I told Katherine and
Speaker 5: I told her. I said, no, oh, yeah, that's that's
Speaker 5: what it was.
Speaker 2: That's what it was. I keep forgetting. Yeah, that's what
Speaker 2: it was. I told Katherine.
Speaker 5: I was like, don't tell Kristen. She's going to be mad.
Speaker 5: You guys.
Speaker 4: I saw entry and I knew you were up to something.
Speaker 3: We left and it goes you lied to her, and
Speaker 3: I was like I had to.
Speaker 4: This gets so deep so fast.
Speaker 2: I felt bad because she was supposed to know originally,
Speaker 2: so yeah, but it was really sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah she did.
Speaker 6: I was surprised, guys because we didn't do a gender review.
Speaker 6: I loved it like I live for a gender review.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really it was really sweet and the
Speaker 2: kids are super excited. At first, I wanted another girl
Speaker 2: because I never had a sister, so I always kind
Speaker 2: of wanted Julie to have a sister. But I think
Speaker 2: with Jace's age and then having a boy, it'll be
Speaker 2: they'll be good growing up together.
Speaker 1: It was Joli disappointed though that she didn't get a
Speaker 1: little sister.
Speaker 2: No, she's so excited now because she wants to boss
Speaker 2: around the boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I was like, baby, girls, like you get to
Speaker 5: be the boss. You are my only girl. And so
Speaker 5: she's like, oh, yes, so she's she's she's puffed.
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, let's see back to it. So then,
Speaker 1: I mean, while we're always revealing like crazy, let's continue
Speaker 1: the spree. Haley wants to know, do you have a
Speaker 1: name picked out?
Speaker 5: So I think we do. We're trying it on.
Speaker 2: I really and it's not one hundred percent yet, so.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you it didn't go.
Speaker 1: I really want a Ja or an a That was
Speaker 1: the question from Mindy. Will you continue with the Jays?
Speaker 2: Yes, I really wanted a Ja Kristen Jagger's out. I
Speaker 2: was gonna go with Jagger, but I just think Jagger
Speaker 2: is a really cute kid's name. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I love it for an adult name.
Speaker 6: Don't not offend it because the love was going to
Speaker 6: be Jagger if she was a boy, and then we
Speaker 6: never named one Jagger.
Speaker 2: So but it's a great name. I just yeah, I
Speaker 2: just don't know if it fits like me and Alan, right,
Speaker 2: And then I kind of wanted so that what I
Speaker 2: really wanted. The name I really wanted was Jack's Jackson.
Speaker 2: But his last name is Russell, so I can't Jack Russell.
Speaker 4: I knew Mark was gonna love that.
Speaker 1: Oh the poor kid, that would not be good.
Speaker 2: But like, honestly, but kind of Jack Russell, like, come
Speaker 2: into the field, Jack Russell.
Speaker 1: It's just dog jokes his whole life.
Speaker 6: True, he's already in the field if he's Jack Russell,
Speaker 6: because that's what Jack Russell's do.
Speaker 5: But what if it's Jack's Russell.
Speaker 1: I think that's worse because then they think they're being
Speaker 1: clever with the dog jokes.
Speaker 6: And then you have to start like, do you age
Speaker 6: him by my unser? Do you agent by dog ears?
Speaker 6: Starts to get really complicated. It's like only one, but
Speaker 6: really he's seven because he's Jack Russell.
Speaker 1: The bathroom. Just go in the backyard, Jack Russell.
Speaker 2: I'm do okay, okay, Jack Jack's Jackson is now totally out.
Speaker 2: I wanted to also name him Ace, but I can't
Speaker 2: because Jace.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: See so if you, if you come up with a
Speaker 2: good A or J name, we do have an R name.
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be the actual name, but
Speaker 2: we're still we're still trying it on. I'm not ready
Speaker 2: to say yet.
Speaker 1: And our name with Russell, Yeah, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: potential there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's strong too, So I think we've been
Speaker 2: we've been calling the baby that name for about a week.
Speaker 2: But I'm still open to suggestions. So if so, if
Speaker 2: I've knew anyone wants to comment on suggestions, an A,
Speaker 2: J or an R, I'm here for it. Axel was
Speaker 2: thrown at us. I didn't love it, no offense. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, I had all the girl names, like I was.
Speaker 1: That was our thing. I think a lot of people
Speaker 1: I was talking to Daniel Rome about this girl's names.
Speaker 1: It's about narrowing it down boys' names. Is finding anything
Speaker 1: you can tolerate?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know, so yeah, so taking suggestions, but
Speaker 2: we are trying on one name.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, we're looking forward to hearing it and then
Speaker 1: we all, Oh, Aaron wills to know if your child
Speaker 1: will have dual citizenship. I thought that was kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: That's a really good question, and I honestly I don't
Speaker 2: know the answer to that because I think it's based
Speaker 2: on where is it based on where the kid's born.
Speaker 1: Or well, they'll automatically be a citizen of that nation, right,
Speaker 1: But then I think because Alan is a citizen of
Speaker 1: another nation, they would automatically have dual citizenship. I'm not sure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's a really good question. I know, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Because Alan has a he's getting he has a work
Speaker 2: visa right now out and then when we get married,
Speaker 2: he'll get his official visa or whatever that's called green.
Speaker 2: I have no idea, Like I'm so bad with that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But yeah, I would assume maybe that
Speaker 2: the kid would, the baby would, I don't know. Probably
Speaker 2: one would think.
Speaker 1: Let's move on from the kid questions, We'll take another
Speaker 1: break and come back with a whole polpourri of other stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh great, okay, here, let's do it Jeopardy style. Here
Speaker 1: are your categories Alan, relationships, family or miscellaneous?
Speaker 5: Oh girls, why don't you pick for one hundred.
Speaker 1: Alan Alan question? Here we go. What was different about
Speaker 1: Alan that made you fall in love with him? That's
Speaker 1: what Martha would like to know.
Speaker 2: I would say how safe I felt around him? I
Speaker 2: felt very safe and very respected. I know I keep
Speaker 2: saying the respect word, but I just I have never
Speaker 2: felt so respected in a relationship, like he truly respects
Speaker 2: and loves me, and that just makes me then feel safe.
Speaker 1: That's a good answer. Meredith wants to know when the
Speaker 1: wedding is.
Speaker 2: We are going to do next year? Thinking late summer fall, okay.
Speaker 1: Hannah is wondering how you envision your wedding to look
Speaker 1: with Alan.
Speaker 2: Very small, y'all. I gotta send you the dress. I
Speaker 2: picked two dresses.
Speaker 4: What this is the sh that happens when we don't
Speaker 4: like one?
Speaker 3: It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 6: First of all, that's not the date I have, And
Speaker 6: Sarah Bryce has been blocking Lee Bryce's calendar for different days.
Speaker 2: Well, did you hear that Lee can't come to that
Speaker 2: one the date that I sent? And so my thing was,
Speaker 2: I was like, listen, I was like, I can't. I'm
Speaker 2: working around Lee Brice, low Cash, you know, family's summer
Speaker 2: vacations because I want all of Queendom to be there.
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to like, so the date that I
Speaker 2: have is the date we're going with, but Lee can't come,
Speaker 2: and so now I feel bad. So I was voicing
Speaker 2: on Moong Sarah last night. I'm like, Okay, if I
Speaker 2: moved it up a day, would that worked better for you?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: So I'm like, but I'm also like, if I do that,
Speaker 2: then it's like in a mess at Preston and low
Speaker 2: Cash and are.
Speaker 3: We keeping the same day?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, that's if it changes.
Speaker 2: We have a dress, well, I think so. So I
Speaker 2: have two. I'm going to send it to the Queendom.
Speaker 2: It's one of two. So I need you guys to
Speaker 2: heart the one you like, because I'm torn between the two.
Speaker 2: I have my favorite, but I don't want to say
Speaker 2: which one is my favorite.
Speaker 1: In the are you in the dresses in the photos
Speaker 1: of they just photos of the dresses.
Speaker 2: I am not getting into a dress right now with
Speaker 2: my belly bump. So I basically just told the people.
Speaker 2: I was like, can I have y'all send it to me?
Speaker 2: Maybe in like mart Chish, so I can just try
Speaker 2: on to see which one I like. But no, it's
Speaker 2: just the images of the model in them. But I'm
Speaker 2: thinking very small, I mean like small, small, small, small, small,
Speaker 2: my queendom and just a few family members and I'm
Speaker 2: thinking we're thinking overseas and beautiful, just just a beautiful
Speaker 2: celebration of it.
Speaker 1: Could be a challenge for me and Easton, but let.
Speaker 5: Us Okay, I have to be there, and I hope I.
Speaker 1: Heart would pay for it.
Speaker 2: I mean, oh, whoa wedding in Scotland podcast? Hello, putting
Speaker 2: it out there right now? We need Easton and Mark
Speaker 2: there and Hannah and Jackie.
Speaker 1: So you're envisioning a big It's a pretty grand affair,
Speaker 1: is what you're envisioning. This isn't some quiet justice of
Speaker 1: the peace thing.
Speaker 2: No, no, small, but like small but beautiful in the
Speaker 2: most likely Scotland.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, this beautiful setting, ghose friends got it? And then
Speaker 1: Lisa is wondering, will you legally be Janna Russell.
Speaker 5: I'm old school. I'm going to go back.
Speaker 2: I know it's the changes of Catherine's like, damn it,
Speaker 2: not again, because we got to change the TSA is,
Speaker 2: Theirlines and this. But yeah, I don't know. I'm just like,
Speaker 2: and I will say this too. I will be Then
Speaker 2: I'll have last name of a kid, which is I
Speaker 2: like that. I don't want both my kids to not
Speaker 2: have my last name.
Speaker 1: So professionally, you'll still be Jenna Kramer of course, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, but you'll be Jenna Russell legally.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 1: Great, good questions, all right, more relationship questions now, Okay,
Speaker 1: Hannah would like to know how's the cold parenting going
Speaker 1: with Mike.
Speaker 2: Hey, Hannah Winkleman, get off the questions. Girls, I'll at
Speaker 2: you answer that one.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think really well, as far as I know.
Speaker 2: I feel really proud of both of you. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: I feel like we kind of hit a.
Speaker 5: Stride.
Speaker 2: The book coming out is going to be interesting because
Speaker 2: I truly peeled a lot of layers back that.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, but I'm like, it's not about you.
Speaker 2: The book isn't about you. It's truly about my journey.
Speaker 2: And yes, there are a few stories in there, But
Speaker 2: I mean I started the book very angry and kind
Speaker 2: of mad, and then we've come to a better relationship,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, this just doesn't need to
Speaker 2: be in there. Certain pieces, some of these pieces are
Speaker 2: important to the you know, finding out of things and
Speaker 2: what led to it everything else. I'm like, it doesn't
Speaker 2: need to be in there. So I've re edited the
Speaker 2: book plenty of times, and he actually mark around that time,
Speaker 2: He's like, maybe maybe we could have a conversation on
Speaker 2: the podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, can we schedule that around my schedule
Speaker 1: so I can be available for that?
Speaker 7: And me, yeah, but oh I want to. I think
Speaker 7: it'd be a really I think, you know, when he
Speaker 7: said it, I was just like wow, I mean, I'm like,
Speaker 7: would would you really want to do that?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 2: And he goes, yeah, I think, you know, we're how
Speaker 2: far we've come too, it could be a really important
Speaker 2: conversation because I think too, it's like.
Speaker 5: With a book as well.
Speaker 2: I am like, of course, the press, I'm sure are
Speaker 2: going to pick up certain headlines of things that I
Speaker 2: said in there. But I'm like, there are so many
Speaker 2: times when I go every time I talk about him,
Speaker 2: I go, right, back to me, what I could have done,
Speaker 2: what I could have done differently or better or been
Speaker 2: more aware of and stuff like that. And I think
Speaker 2: he deserves to have his voice on it too, you know,
Speaker 2: And I think the fact that he is the one
Speaker 2: that brought it up. I was like, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'll talk to the team, but I'm sure they would.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can make that work.
Speaker 6: I think, well, you're still on the podcast thing anyway,
Speaker 6: so it's perfect.
Speaker 4: I mean, right, everyone.
Speaker 2: Always says there like his face is still on the
Speaker 2: host thing. But now I think, like, you know, because unfortunately,
Speaker 2: you know, and and people that you know, when I
Speaker 2: was talking to like Rachel, you could tell he's defined
Speaker 2: by headlines and when someone googles him, it's not fair,
Speaker 2: you know, and he has to go, okay, this is
Speaker 2: so I think maybe having something out there that he's
Speaker 2: spoken on, because he hasn't really spoke since our podcast,
Speaker 2: So I think, you know, I think that's a it
Speaker 2: could be helpful for all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that'd be great. Yeah, two work. You know,
Speaker 1: it didn't work out together, But like I you know,
Speaker 1: I've always had great experiences with Mike, so I think
Speaker 1: that would be good to get him back see him
Speaker 1: again and uh and clear the air or whatever he
Speaker 1: liked hear the air about. But I think it's great.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you two in a good place and
Speaker 1: that's yeah the goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, we we parent differently at times,
Speaker 2: but I think we come together at the right times,
Speaker 2: if that makes sense, Like and then we really uh,
Speaker 2: you know, he's with the kids right now at the
Speaker 2: beach and setting photos and and you know, I'm you know,
Speaker 2: missing them extra hardcore. So you know, he's sending more pictures.
Speaker 2: It's just like there's a lot of respect with that too.
Speaker 2: And you know he's let me have them longer because
Speaker 2: of the movie and so you know, he's very flexible
Speaker 2: as well. So it's just it's it's good and I
Speaker 2: like the flex I like the piece because when there's peace,
Speaker 2: there's flexibility and there's grace and there's good conversations.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to tangent us again. I'm sorry those
Speaker 1: of you have questions, but I have a question. Is
Speaker 1: he seeing someone.
Speaker 2: He was Yeah, he was who I met and she
Speaker 2: was very sweet and they they're not together, but there's friends,
Speaker 2: I believe. Yeah, But I think at the moment he's not.
Speaker 1: But I just remember you talking in the past about
Speaker 1: how your biggest fear, your biggest concern, was another maternal
Speaker 1: figure in their life. Is that still an issue for
Speaker 1: you or is it now a little bit better because
Speaker 1: you're in a happier place and you want the best
Speaker 1: for him.
Speaker 2: I think I think that was more so when they
Speaker 2: were younger, Like they know now that I'm mom.
Speaker 6: And that.
Speaker 2: With their ages too, That'll never change. Now it's if
Speaker 2: someone comes in that's just a bonus person that gets
Speaker 2: to love them, but they know I'm always going to
Speaker 2: be mom, just kind of like with Alan, like they
Speaker 2: know their dad is their dad, and Alan is just
Speaker 2: a father figure that's coming in to love them and
Speaker 2: you know, be there for them when they need. But
Speaker 2: they always you know, Dad's Dad's number one. So I
Speaker 2: can see that and know that. Where now I'm just like,
Speaker 2: as long as they're good with my kids, I don't care.
Speaker 2: I just want I want him to be happy because
Speaker 2: that then trickles into the kids happiness too.
Speaker 1: That seems very mature and well adjusted.
Speaker 5: Thanks can.
Speaker 1: I think that'd be hard for anybody to deal with.
Speaker 1: You've gotten to that place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it helps with the kids ages.
Speaker 2: I really do like baby wise, i'd be like, that's
Speaker 2: that's what I was like, you are not taking my
Speaker 2: child that just came out of my body because but
Speaker 2: really whatever age though, it's really not now seeing it,
Speaker 2: there's just something different between the mother and the child,
Speaker 2: don't you think KB like not taking away from the
Speaker 2: step parents because they also bring such an important piece too.
Speaker 2: But I'm also with the kids seventy percent of the time,
Speaker 2: so like they're going to have and that's something you
Speaker 2: know that my ex has, that would be I would
Speaker 2: feel like that'd be a lot harder on my ex
Speaker 2: because technically, since I have them seventy percent, Alan is
Speaker 2: then around them more than he is, So I could
Speaker 2: see that hurting and being hard for him.
Speaker 5: That would affect me.
Speaker 4: A question we should ask him when we bring him on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think like that would bother me, Mark,
Speaker 2: if that's I'm being honest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, understandably, Sadie, I would like to know what your
Speaker 1: mom's thoughts are about your pregnancy and your engagement.
Speaker 2: My mom's yeah, hey, Sadie, well done. I called my
Speaker 2: mom and is this when did she meet Alan? Oh?
Speaker 5: So she met Alan?
Speaker 2: So they FaceTime a few times, but she didn't meet
Speaker 2: him until after the baby news. So I called her
Speaker 2: and I said, hey, Mom, I have to tell you
Speaker 2: something and she's like what. I'm like, I'm pregnant. She
Speaker 2: goes shut up. I didn't believe me at all. I
Speaker 2: was like, no, I'm serious, I'm pregnant and she's like, no,
Speaker 2: you're like she it kept going on and on and on.
Speaker 2: I'm like, Mom, I'm pregnant. Would you like me to
Speaker 2: send you the test? She made me send a picture
Speaker 2: of the test to prove that I was pregnant, because
Speaker 2: she did. She did not believe me because that's but
Speaker 2: that's how like I was not having another kid. So
Speaker 2: I sent her the picture and then I called her
Speaker 2: back and she was like, oh my god, and she's
Speaker 2: like I'm She's like, are you happy?
Speaker 5: I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2: And then she met Alan a few weeks later and
Speaker 2: he had a talk with her. He asked for her
Speaker 2: permission to propose, and my mom didn't make it easy
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 1: I'll say that, yeah, well, yeah, I get that. I
Speaker 1: get I see what she's doing and I understand that,
Speaker 1: as is covered with the podcast, Dad, I understand her concerns.
Speaker 1: But that's good. That put them through the paces. That's
Speaker 1: all right, I'm sure we expected nothing less.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, my mom's been there through all the like,
Speaker 2: you know, she's just like I think she basically threatened them,
Speaker 2: like she's like you, if you ever break her heart,
Speaker 2: I will find you pretty sure those were her exact words.
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, we are almost out of time, but
Speaker 1: let's grab a couple more of these quickly.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I have one for KB because someone asked me, KB,
Speaker 2: what was your low and high of delivery?
Speaker 4: Oh, that'll make me emotional?
Speaker 2: The no, no, no, no, no, you have to end
Speaker 2: on a high note.
Speaker 5: It's the low. First.
Speaker 6: The low was just how long it took this time
Speaker 6: I have my babies. I've had both so quickly, and
Speaker 6: I labored all like for twenty four hours, and it
Speaker 6: just was like frustrating because I'm like, this isn't what
Speaker 6: my body does, like I know what, like my body
Speaker 6: knows what to do. So once we figured out what
Speaker 6: was going on, they were able to, like I progressed
Speaker 6: super quick by the time they figured out I had
Speaker 6: my water had broke.
Speaker 4: I'll make it like fast, but my water broke.
Speaker 6: But that she was Essentially there was a piece of
Speaker 6: the sack of water over my cervix, so she was
Speaker 6: just lowering into that and she couldn't come down, so
Speaker 6: I was just laboring for nothing. So I labored all
Speaker 6: night and got to two centimeters and was so defeated.
Speaker 6: But once they figured that out and they were able
Speaker 6: to move that piece out of the way, it was
Speaker 6: two and a half hours from the time that happened
Speaker 6: to the time she was born.
Speaker 4: So that was the low.
Speaker 6: The low was just the time and just like frustration
Speaker 6: and the touring schedules wore me out this time, if
Speaker 6: I can be honest, just the data being gone and
Speaker 6: then he's about to go really far away, and how
Speaker 6: am I feeling? And like I've never had a whole
Speaker 6: management team checking in on my cervix quite like this,
Speaker 6: So really quite frustrating.
Speaker 4: But the high was.
Speaker 6: That I had already seen this baby when I was
Speaker 6: pregnant with Legend, And when I met Legend, I was
Speaker 6: so confused because God had showed me this baby.
Speaker 4: It was a baby girl.
Speaker 6: Her name was Lyon, and she had really dark hair,
Speaker 6: and I knew it was her. And so when Legend
Speaker 6: came out, we didn't find out if Legend was a
Speaker 6: boy or girl either, and so when Legend came out,
Speaker 6: he didn't look like the baby.
Speaker 4: He was a boy.
Speaker 6: He had no hair, and I was so confused for
Speaker 6: a second, I'm like, why would God show me this baby?
Speaker 6: And then my and my husband was so dead set
Speaker 6: that we weren't having any more kids. So that was
Speaker 6: for a while where our family was going to be.
Speaker 6: It was just the two, and I was fine with it,
Speaker 6: but my heart always wanted three or four. So the
Speaker 6: high of delivery was meeting the person God showed me
Speaker 6: five years ago. Had a hair baby girl name is
Speaker 6: Lyon and she's incredible.
Speaker 2: Beautiful, Mark, Do you want to Are you wondering where
Speaker 2: he showed her?
Speaker 1: Yes? I guess I was assuming it was some sort
Speaker 1: of a dream situation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was like a I kept praying that the
Speaker 6: baby would be healthy. Legend is a baby after a loss,
Speaker 6: so he's a rainbow baby, and I just was really like,
Speaker 6: I just had a lot of anxiety around that.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of moms.
Speaker 6: Jana and I've talked about this a lot, but like
Speaker 6: the scarcity mentality, it never goes away. It just even
Speaker 6: to when he was like a year old. You know,
Speaker 6: if he coughed wrong or something in his sleep, I'd
Speaker 6: be afraid he's like choking.
Speaker 4: And so I just.
Speaker 6: Dealt with a lot of postpart of anxiety around that.
Speaker 6: But because he was a rainbow, I don't know. I
Speaker 6: just like I had this dream. I like woke up
Speaker 6: to this like vision of a baby, and then I
Speaker 6: was like, this is so like I could see the baby.
Speaker 6: I could see the baby for five years. And I
Speaker 6: know I sound like I'm nuts, but I was like,
Speaker 6: why would God plant a vision of a baby and
Speaker 6: it not be this kid?
Speaker 4: Like, it doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 1: It's just whenever you pictured, whenever you pictured legend, you
Speaker 1: pictured a specific baby.
Speaker 6: Well, I I guess I thought it just would be
Speaker 6: that baby, because why would I see a baby in
Speaker 6: it not be that baby?
Speaker 4: That's strange. I know, I sound like completely crazy.
Speaker 6: I think that, Yeah, she just came at such a
Speaker 6: divine time for like our marriage and for my life
Speaker 6: specifically that I it's the most patient I've had to
Speaker 6: be to meet this blind date of a person that
Speaker 6: I feel like I've essentially known for five years and
Speaker 6: just to like see her, I mean in the birth video.
Speaker 6: I just weep, and you hear me saying over and
Speaker 6: over again, I'm gonna cry, but I just kept saying
Speaker 6: I knew it was you the whole time.
Speaker 4: I knew it was you.
Speaker 5: I'm sweet, sweet vibes.
Speaker 4: I know now that I sound like a psycho. Back
