Nesting Season, Our Día de los Muertos Ofrenda, & Why Your Partner Falls Asleep Mid-Conversation

I’m almost 32 weeks (!) and deep in nesting mode — fresh paint, projects everywhere, and a cozy house soundtrack courtesy of a Día de los Muertos Pandora station. We built our first ofrenda to honor our grandparents, our three spirit babies, and this little boy who’s “in between,” and I share what we left out (taco soup, orange slices, pumpkin cake, and a Diet Dr Pepper for Grandpa). We also talk third-tri insomnia & reflux (what’s actually helping me sleep), and then hop into Couples Therapy to answer: “If my partner keeps falling asleep mid-conversation… is that divorce-worthy?” Plus: a feel-good story out of Portland, a quick TV roundup (Only Murders S4 actually stuck the landing!), and the internet tea: Kat Stickler × John Mayer?

What we cover

• Nesting & bumpdate: painting the house, seasonal cozy, weekly cravings (Cheez-Its + chocolate chip cookies 😅)

• Our Día de los Muertos ofrenda: how we set it up, what we offered, and a sweet visitation dream

• Third-trimester sleep toolkit: what’s worked for me (½ Unisom, generic Pepcid, magnesium) — and listening to your body

• Couples Therapy: falling asleep mid-talk — health red flags vs. relationship red flags, and what to try first

• Good news spotlight: a Portland coffee shop rallying funds for neighbors who lost SNAP benefits

• Pop culture picks: Only Murders in the Building S4, E.T. rewatch, Kardashians, DWTS, Selling Sunset (aka my iPad-baby show), and the Kat Stickler + John Mayer dating buzz

• Words of the Week: Inspired (Adam) & Sleepy-but-Motivated (me)
