Ep 73: I Lost My Baby


The Babies Down, Bottles Up crew, Kisha, Terrin, and Josselyn, joined by producer Danny, step into a deeply personal conversation around miscarriage. This episode includes a content notice for sensitive material and encourages listeners to care for themselves first. Through shared experiences, the hosts aim to offer understanding, honesty, and reassurance to anyone listening who has lived through pregnancy loss.

Catching Up Before the Heavy Conversation

The episode opens with the hosts back in their usual recording space, reflecting on the week before and the emotional whiplash of returning home after time away. Josselyn describes the trip as feeling unreal, while Kisha jokes about the emotional crash that followed the fun. Terrin and Josselyn agree that the time away passed far too fast compared to the slow return to everyday routines.

Laughter quickly takes over as stories from the trip come out. Danny admits he started drinking at 12:30 pm on the final day, which immediately becomes fuel for teasing. Josselyn recalls setting alarms on the bus ride home so no alcohol would go unfinished. They ordered late night tacos at 7 am before heading to brunch for more drinks. Kisha, who rarely drinks, laughs about returning home smelling like alcohol, a scent Josselyn says lingered for days.

Parenting Moments After the Weekend Ends

As the conversation shifts to home life, Terrin shares her family’s pumpkin carving night. Her daughter Scarlett surprised everyone by carving the strongest jack o lantern freehand. The moment carries extra weight as Terrin reflects on her oldest daughter Delainy attending a Halloween party instead of trick or treating.

Kisha talks about volunteering at her kids’ school through the PTA and taking her children to AirTopia alone for the first time. Josselyn shares attending a Taylor Swift listening party with Ariana and seeing her confidence grow.
