Biggest struggles and surprises as new parents - CaPower Hour S2E2

We finally started a gentle version of sleep training and it's completely changed our lives. Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula invited us out to have a private wine tour and compete against their sommelier. It was hilarious. Loryn threw a Kentucky Derby themed baby shower for her friend, which begs the age old question: how much horse is too much horse? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

My Amazon storefront with our favorite items we've bought and used since Quinn was born is here. We may not be experts, but here's everything we did with Quinn from bringing her home from the hospital, to the first few months. She's a great night sleeper and has been sleeping through the night since week 8. Did we do something right or just get lucky? We also go over some controversial baby products that we tried and will tell you what's worth the cost and what's not (in our opinion).

Loryn and Shawn go to an influencer event in LA for the first time since they moved out of the city almost 4 years ago. There's also yet another connection to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. And they argue over who's who on many different "2 types of people topics" including cleaning while cooking, loading the dishwasher, how to properly install toilet paper, leaving cabinets open, food expiration dates, and more.

Picking our baby girl's name was 1000x easier than coming up with a boy name. Loryn reviewed Blake Lively's cocktail line and Blake mentioned her by her nickname, so naturally, Loryn is still not over it. Shawn and Loryn also got to have their first date night out since having a baby, which was really Loryn's first BIG night out since before she was pregnant. Spoiler: worst hangover ever.

Loryn's breastfeeding journey was not what she hoped for, and social media left her comparing herself to moms with freezers full of extra breastmilk.

One of the biggest struggles for Shawn was just how much his life changed all of the sudden. And surprisingly, this didn't affect Loryn at all. There was a bit of a role reversal when Quinn was born. Shawn (who has lots of experience with babies) had a hard time adjusting, while Loryn (who has zero experience) found herself way more obsessed with her baby than she thought possible.

We're back with a new season and a baby! It's been a wild 4 months (how has it been 4 months already?!) and we're finally ready to talk about EVERYTHING - starting with the birth story. Loryn went 6 days past her due date and despite eating tons of Taco Bell (thanks, Internet), baby Quinn wasn't budging. Until she was... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
