Katie Otto has always prided herself on being a good mom. But when she finds out that her youngest son, Cooper, is going to be the only one of her children without a baby brother or sister, she becomes obsessed with having another baby.
Katie's husband, Greg, is hesitant about the idea of having another child, especially since they are already dealing with the challenges of raising their three children: Taylor, Oliver, and Cooper. But Katie is determined, and she begins to do everything she can to try to get pregnant.
As Katie becomes more and more obsessed with having another baby, she begins to neglect her other responsibilities. She forgets important appointments, ignores her kids' needs, and even starts to neglect her own health. Greg tries to talk her out of her obsession, but Katie is unwilling to listen.
Meanwhile, Taylor is struggling with her own issues. She's been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks, and she's worried that her parents won't take her seriously. When she confides in Oliver, he urges her to talk to their mom about it. But with Katie so focused on having another baby, Taylor feels like she can't get her mom's attention.
As the episode progresses, we see Katie become more and more frantic in her quest to have another baby. She tries fertility treatments, tracks her ovulation every day, and even consults a psychic for advice. But nothing seems to be working, and Greg starts to worry about how far Katie will go.
In the end, Katie realizes that her obsession with having another baby is taking away from the joy she has with the children she already has. She comes to appreciate her family as it is and accepts that another child may not be in their future. Taylor also opens up about her anxiety and is able to get the support she needs from both her parents and her siblings.
Overall, American Housewife season 3 episode 14, Baby Crazy, is a heartfelt episode that touches on the stresses and challenges of parenting, as well as the importance of accepting and appreciating the family we have.
