About this episode
Emily and Jason sit down to discuss their current birth “plan”… which is really more of a loose collection of highly questionable options. There’s the hospital. There’s the shack. There’s the home birth. There’s the possibility of free-birthing on their way to Alaska.
No matter where it happens, one thing is non-negotiable: the birth must be Middle-earth themed.
