Owen’s Birth Story, 2 Non Flans, Candy Cousins

By on March 6, 2019 in podcast

Renee Colvert and Baby Owen join us for an episode where Daniel and I recount Owen’s birth story. There’s a lot of fluid but also some magic and I think I’ve revised my former belief that childbirth is always traumatic and violent. Also we talk about Renee getting into her roommate’s cookies, tactics for fluffing up food, a particularly devastating flan experience and stuff that doesn’t involve snacks too.
