• My First Trimester Diaries Pt. 1 (Weeks 4-8)

  Ladies, this week I'm dropping TWO mini episodes diving into my first trimester, week by week- pfew I'm so glad those days are now just a distant memory. The earliest weeks can feel like a secret storm, so I'm opening my personal diary to show the weather. From the moment the test turned positive at four weeks, the symptoms arrived FAST—nausea out of nowhere, insomnia that almost nothing could solve, and a burst of anxiety fueled by dreams of twins (?!) I recall each week with honesty and humor, using those fruit-size milestones for grounding while sharing the small hacks that kept me moving minute by minute.Nausea kicked in on schedule at week six as we flew to Europe, then stacked with boat motion and jet lag. Hormonal bloat challenged body image, so we reframed: you’ve been here, it peaks and passes. Gentle movement, sun on the face, and getting dressed turned out to be medicine. I also walk through the medical backstory—shortening cervix, one past cerclage, and why I started progesterone early this time. The update is good: solid cervical length, less fear, more data. Mood swings showed up too, including a short burst of pregnancy rage, the kind you laugh about later but are terrified of in the moment...Food aversions collided with relentless hunger in week seven, making crackers and chips an essential survival mechanism. By week eight, coffee turned into a hard no just as exhaustion peaked, forcing a return to basics: protein, hydration, pacing, and permission to rest (A LOT). The payoff arrived in a dark ultrasound room when we heard the heartbeat and watched a raspberry-sized baby wiggle like a jelly bean. That sound recentered everything, turning symptoms into signs of progress and replacing dread with gratitude.We’re keeping this mini-series focused—weeks 4-8 now, with weeks 9-13 coming Thursday!—so you can follow the real changes without the fluff. If you’re navigating early pregnancy or supporting someone who is, you’ll find practical tips, candid stories, and the reassurance that even the wildest weeks won’t last forever. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and drop your questions so I can weave them into the next chapter.Subscribe now for weekly episodes that remind you you're not alone, you're not crazy, and you're doing way better than you think.

• Ep. 84 Goodbye But See You Soon!!! <3 -T&T

  Hi our lovely MILFs community! It feels so good to be uploading an episode again but it does not come without a heavy heart for the news we are sharing today. First off we want to thank each and every one of you for your patience over the last couple of months as we navigate big life changes (ICYMI WE ARE BOTH PREGNANT!!). We've been soaking up all the love and joy from the first few months of pregnancy and it just feels so special that we get to both go through this at the same time again. With that said, we've had to ask ourselves the tough questions of how much we can take on and ultimately came to the conclusion that this podcast deserves 110% of our effort and attention and it is just not something we are capable of doing at the moment. We truly cannot express enough gratitude for the space we have created together. The last almost 2 years has given us some of our fondest and proudest moments in life and in motherhood. It's given us so much purpose connecting with you all, sharing our personal journeys, & spreading comfort and knowledge through our wonderful guests. But THIS IS NOT GOODBYE! Although, Did We Just Become MILFs may be coming to an end, you'll still be seeing a lot of us both on our separate channels where we hope to share the same kinds of content that brought us all together in the first place. To stay in touch with us make sure you're still following:TORI:Instagram: HERETikTok: HERE MILFS Youtube (she'll be taking over!): HERESubstack (she'll be taking over!): HERETAYLA:Instagram: HEREDWJBM Instagram (she'll be taking over!): HERE TikTok: HEREThis podcast has been the biggest blessing building together and the memories will last a lifetime. We love and appreciate each and every one of you and can't wait to stay connected through all of our motherhood journeys. xx T&TFOLLOW US FOR MORE MOM FUN!
