Onto the next episode!
They are both pregnant! They are house hunting! They are keeping things from everyone. Or trying to. Sort of.
Except Johnny.
They bought him a red Bluetooth speaker to celebrate that his sperm worked!
Perhaps a little too well..?
Both women are pregnant!
And they have no idea what the heck happens now. Not that I blame them. Like Steph said, there is no Google search for this. I doubt anyone truly has the answers.
But for me, when I realized they were both having kids, I figured you could just think of it like having twins. Or in a rare case, both partners can experience the same milestones together during the pregnancy and feel things in a very similar way.
I hadn’t really considered opting out.
But the truth of the matter is, it’s a practical option.
They realize in this episode that they’re not exactly rich and cannot afford to move into a home of their own quite yet.
Can they really afford two children?
Did they want more than one child?
Do they have space? Are their roommates okay with multiple babies?
Honestly, these are things to consider. And things that you cannot wait to consider either, because I’m no expert, but I’m fairly sure there’s a time limit on these things. So you may need to consider your options quickly.
And while I think there’s a lot of emotion here, so taking a day or two to collect thoughts and emotions isn’t a bad idea. I think avoiding it entirely is a terrible idea.
Not even clueing your partner in on what you’re thinking or feeling is terrible.
Like she’s also confused and uncertain of what to do.
Isn’t it better to be confused together?
I have no idea how to navigate life or relationships. I’m pretty honest and open about that, but I think that’s key. Not knowing everything and being willing to learn and listen has been so helpful in understanding the world around me.
How other people see things.
Also, it’s super comforting when the people you love are just as clueless and confused and worried as you are.
You’re not alone.
Which is nice in the face of uncertainty.
Which made it extra annoying that they didn’t want to tell Lily, their roommate, who was included from the start in this process, the truth. She’s your friend?
If you’re confused or conflicted, friends are a great sounding board.
They listen and typically don’t judge.
They’re there for you like no one else in the world. Keeping it a secret from her, seemed wrong.
And I understand her being a bit hurt by it as well. They jumped in on this together.
Now, suddenly, they’re keeping things from her.
Why? She might ask questions that you don’t have answers to?
Guess what? Those questions aren’t going away even if she doesn’t know. They’ll still be there, looming over you. And in nine months, they’ll be screaming at you.
Better make some choices.
I do love how real it is though.
There are plenty of times where I would rather hide from my problems than deal with them. Sometimes I do. It never works out.
It’s why, I try to avoid, avoiding my problems. It tends to make them bigger.
Also, it was a little weird to shop for a house when you hadn’t made any choices. Like you skipped some steps and I don’t blame Nat for forcing the issue.
I also don’t blame Steph for wanting to hide.
It’s a lot.
This show is a lot.
But ultimately, it’s a good show with real characters at the heart of it. And they’re going to have two babies.
What could possibly go wrong?
