We’ve always said that if we weren’t laughing about motherhood, we’d be crying. Hey, parenting is hard. And from what we learned from our chat with comedian and NPR Ask Me Another host Ophira Eisenberg, we’re not alone.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like being on stage at 8 1/2 months pregnant trying to make people laugh? We can already think of all the pee-yourself jokes we’d make. We chat about being a mom of “advanced maternal age,” and share our funny pregnancy stories, plus talk about finding the humor in motherhood.

We think you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ophira as much as we did!

You can listen to our chat right now, and then be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode. And be sure to follow Ophira on Twitter, and check her website to see her upcoming appearances.
