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....
