Amanda & Shawn Kingtrying2parentpodcast.podbean.com
We are Amanda & Shawn King, hosts of Trying 2 Parent Podcast, & NO we are NOT pregnant JUST YET but we wanted to invite you guys to join us on our adventure as we move out of the country #Mexico, simplify our life’s, have one if not two babies with dual citizenship, & raise our kids to be global citizens. Join us as we explain how over the past year we’ve been trying to get pregnant. We’ll share with you guys the ups the downs, the good, the bad and everything in between because to be honest things haven’t been easy for us, they haven’t been smooth and they definitely haven’t gone as planned. But…. We believe raising a family takes a Tribe. We want to share this journey with y’all because we know much like our story this process of becoming a parent isn’t easy for everyone. So we want the advice from our friends and family who have done it correctly before us. Plus the usual tips and tricks on how not to F!ck things up. And by “things” I mean our kids. To be honest we don’t know exactly what we’re doing which is why we’re asking you to join us as we learn first hand. That starts with trying to convince which we’re pretty good at, and ends with our kids most likely putting us in a home. This will be brutally honest, quite descriptive, & full of attempts at poorly timed humor mostly by Amanda because she’s not the funniest person around. We will be taking listener questions that we are likely... Actually certainly unqualified to answer. But never the less, feel free to send any and all questions over to us @ trying2parentpodcast@gmail.com or on our Facebook at Trying2Parent. If you want to be featured on the show feel free to text in or call and leave a voicemail at (360)-450-5008 This is the start of our new story. We hope you join us for the long ride 🚘🌎 This is the Trying 2 Parent Podcast Let The Games Begin…

As always be sure to call in & leave us a voicemail or a sweet text with some advice or responses to the questions we ask and we'll be sure to play it on the...

T2P Episode 13: And Just Like That We Now Live In Mexico

Well Sh!t, we hope ya'll enjoy episode 13 because we just recorded the entire thing and my damn SD card deleted it haha.

We finally made it to Mexico. If you were interested in exactly where we moved then open up a map, go all the way east on the peninsula, find Cancun and look just south. We have officially p...

T2P Episode 12: We’re Off To Mexico with Good News

It's episode 12 ya'll and we're finally moving to Mexico. Believe me when I say it's been a shakey start to our year but things are definitely turning around. We received some "much better" news from the doctor Amanda was seeing which definitely lifted our spirits after the horrible news they gave us a couple weeks ago that we discussed on episode 11. But at the end of the day I'd rather get some bad news first freak out a little about it and then find out that it wasn't that serious at all. On ...

T2P Episode 11: The Unfortunate Truth

It's been a rough week for us. After going to our first official doctors appointment and finding out we had lost the baby we just really didn't know what to do.

Luckily my mom was in town helping us fix up the house after the renters trashed it so she was there to really support us in our time of need. We know this is a pretty common thing and it usually happens for a ...
