LAUREN: You're just so, like, controlled, being pregnant. You can't eat tuna fish, you can't eat sushi, can't have a glass of wine. And you're, like, doing so much, and it's great, and you're doing it because you're growing another human being, but sometimes you just want to be like, OK, I just want to do it for me.
LAUREN: I just choked and peed my pants.
GUEST: Over a minivan.
[GRAPHIC OPEN]
LAUREN: When I woke up this morning, I couldn't help just go online, and look at my registry to see maybe some things that I was getting. I did cheat a little bit, but there were definitely some things that were a surprise.
[01:01]
LAUREN: Hi, how are you?
LAUREN: I think the first time around, a baby shower, I mean, it means gifts. It means clothes, and diapers, and all these exciting things, because it's, it's the first time. The second time, you're excited for the gifts and everything, but it's also just a time to celebrate a new phase in your life.
GUEST: Aww, that's so cute.
GUEST: I love that.
LAUREN: Because now, on top of it, you already have the stuff that you need for your toddler, so you're more practical.
LAUREN: A bath tub. I love how you change things the second time around. Like, I wanted the big one the first time, and now I just want the little one that I can shove somewhere. You know?
LAUREN: If it gets the job done, that's good.
LAUREN: I've been having these crazy tuna fish cravings.
GUEST: Oh, really?
LAUREN: And then I read online, it said you should have it once a month when you're pregnant.
GUEST: That's so weird.
[01:55]
LAUREN: I did think this morning, OK, the baby is coming. It does make it feel more real. Technically, in ten weeks, I could have this baby, which is around the corner. You really take that nine months, and you devote it to something else. And you know in the end, there's a positive outcome, but it still can be mentally and physically exhausting.
GUEST: Getting a minivan?
LAUREN: We might get a minivan.
GUEST: Are you serious?
LAUREN: Once you get in a minivan, and see the things that it does for two babies, like, if you have two kids, it's crazy.
GUEST: They're so, like, funny-looking.
LAUREN: They're not as funny looking any more.
GUEST: Really?
LAUREN: Yes, I promise. Listen to all of you. After the baby comes, and I say that I'm taking you all to Vegas in the minivan, you won't complain.
GUEST: How about the minivans with the wood paneling on the sides?
GUEST: Sexy.
GUEST: Oh my God, really?
GUEST: Are you alright?
GUEST: You OK?
GUEST: Are you all right?
LAUREN: I only peed my pants, I mean, really.
LAUREN: I just choked and peed my pants.
[03:01]
GUEST: Over a minivan.
LAUREN: That happens a lot when you're pregnant, but it's just funny, good times like that. I think my favorite part of the baby shower was the one-sie making. It was just a lot of fun to see what each person came up with. It was great that my mom was here, my grandmother was here, all my close friends, it was simple, it was intimate, I just feel like it was good quality time just celebrating a new addition to our family. Like, it was just celebrating our family.
LAUREN: Maybe I'll put the name on the back of the shirt, and make it for Aaron.
GUEST: That sounds like a fight waiting to happen, I don't know.
LAUREN: The name. Dun dun dun dun.
AARON: Lauren and I, we have this ongoing name issue. We basically picked out a name - when Logan was born, if we were having a girl, this was going to be the girl's name. I haven't fully committed to it, so I don't want to tell people.
[04:02]
LAUREN: He calls the baby -
AARON: What?
LAUREN: By name, like, at least five times.
AARON: Oh, well then that makes it the name.
LAUREN: And then every day I suggest a new name, and I get no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
AARON: Yes. I'm allowed to have my opinions. That's what they are, that's why they're called opinions. And you like that.
LAUREN: I love you.
AARON: I know.
JORDAN: So no, but really, what's the name?
LAUREN: I can't say it. Maybe come up with, like, ten ideas, and if one of them is right, maybe we'll tell you.
GIO: Anna, maybe?
LAUREN: Maybe, Anna's not bad, but no, not Anna, so no.
LAUREN: Ashley? That was your number one guess? I like Ashley, but no.
GIO: Alexis?
LAUREN: No.
NINA: Alexis?
GIO: Addyson?
NINA: Addyson?
GIO: See? I figured it out.
LAUREN: Don't tell him I told you. I said if you could guess it.
NINA: You didn't tell us. You didn't tell us.
[05:00]
LAUREN: Bye.
GUEST: We love you.
LAUREN: Thank you.
GUEST: Thank you for the flowers.
LAUREN: The shower was great, but, you know, at the end of the day, I need Logan to be there, to share it with, to just make it complete.
LAUREN: I missed you. You want your cupcake?
LAUREN: It's kind of icing on the cake, cupcake.
LAUREN: Take a little taste of the sprinkles. What are these? Did somebody buy shoes for baby sister?
LAUREN: I really think that Logan is going to be a good big brother, and I think he'll have his meltdowns, the same as he's having them now, that's just a two year old.
LOGAN: Silly baby sister.
