It's Madyson's turn!!!! She talks this week all about welcoming her boys. Her twin pregnancy carried many complications resulting in a long hospital stay but followed by an amazing C-section with TWO healthy baby boys. Kristin’s personal favorite of Madyson’s episode is Shaun’s short time spent working at Buffalo Wild Wings before the babies were born!

Kristin is up first with her stories of how she welcomed each of her babes into the world. With three very different experiences she gives all the info on best and worst of each. She covers her perspective on epidurals, finding out gender, vaginal birth, and those tricky contractions. Plus all the loving (or not) advice her husband had along the way! Madyson's personal favorite part of the episode is all Kristin's pre labor meal choices. 😂
