Aaron did wear a mic for this video but the audio file was corrupted for some reason so we had to use the camera audio when he talked. It sounds kinda bad, so sorry about that! Happy New Year!!
Cats have a great sense of energy from people! I am certain he senses she is pregnant and baby is coming soon! He just very drawn to her energy! I love it and miss this about having a cat.
I love videos where you and Aaron are discussing projects together. Makes me feel like we are in the room with you. It’s so sweet of you to be so open with us about your life and especially baby girl. So many people have so many strong opinions that I really appreciate your courage to unapologetically share your story. 💞
I made a similar comment to my daughter about this! I love it when we get to be a part of those brainstorming/wishful thinking discussions, and get a glimpse of their hopes and dreams. I think that’s why I feel so connected!
My husband and I think you have the best videos. That's saying alot coming from my husband who is an artist and instructor and has an eye and appreciation for excellent craftsmanship. Laura, you are so good in answering questions graciously that sometimes rub me the wrong way. I consider your new studio as a gift to your followers in making sure your videos are the highest quality and you remain good stewards of efficiency and effectiveness. Blessings upon the arrival of your precious baby girl. I know you'll figure out how to go with the flow and balance everything.
Yes! My cat did that too, 2 days prior to my C-section. I was scheduled for a cesarean section on February 15, but I gave birth on the 7th (because I was in a lot of pain and my baby didn't have a regular heartbeat). My cat probably felt that, he was following me everywhere and he was climbing on my arms, on my chest.
What would be fun is seeing the progression of different beds over the years. No editing just stacking videos together that were all filmed in the same section of your yard. Just an idea for the down time.
I was just thinking that I would like to see the progression around the chicken coop. I see a video about something and I would like to see a follow up, but it is usually hard to find it. I think they can create a ton of before and after videos.
Instead of ripping out the hardwood floor , why not consider having them refinished? You can stain them any color you like. Seal them with a matte or glossy finish. A family member did a matte finish and they are gorgeous.
Yep! Sanding makes a mess and running a buffer is an adventure, but there’s nothing like hardwood floors! The original part of our 1938 home still has the original floors, so lucky no one ripped them out before we got here.
Very excited about baby girl’s arrival! I wish you all the best with the delivery. I have to say that although the new studio looks very nice, I think I’m going to miss you sitting in that lovely porch surrounded by the citrus trees and other plants with the cats crawling all over you.
You guys should start a podcast! I could listen to you to talking about plans, projects, plants, your children and your life in general for a long time!! It feels like I'm sitting with two dear friends 😄❤️
Laura, you don’t need to explain yourself. You built the studio for your work space, simple as that! Your channel has done great, might as well get stuff done now while you can. Love your show. It has reignited my love for gardening. Thank you!
Laura, I have to say, I am SO impressed with the fact that you are 8 months pregnant and able to finish sentences without stopping to catch your breath! 😄 With my three babies, my husband and I would laugh because I always had to stop and pant for air before continuing on with my thoughts! 🤣 Looking great! So happy for you guys.
Really going to miss seeing you in the sun porch when you start doing videos from studio. The sun porch is a lovely space. God bless you all as you wait for baby girl.
Maybe you could add a little sitting area in a corner of the studio, for doing recaps? Something cozy and intimate, like being on the sun porch, but more temperature controlled!
hi knob and tube wiring has been outlawed in many parts of the country. some are actually aluminum wire and not copper, because it was cheaper back in the day. It can heat up much faster and is a fire hazard. I would move this replacment to the top of the list ASAP!!!!
Just a thought on your house floors, my mom had the same problem. She was able to have her existing hardwood floors refinished to a completely different color and finish. They look like totally new floors but it was much cheaper than refinishing them.
Look at Russell, he loves his mommie and so attentive of you. Cats are very protective of those they care about and he is forever checking out everything that you touch. It's amazing to see a happy family, pets included.
I'm a twin... My mom gave birth to 2 girls weighing a total of 8 pounds 6 ounces... I weighed 4 lbs 6 oz and my sister weighed 4 pounds.... So excited for baby girl to arrive.... God bless you, Aaron , Benjamin and baby girl
I'm watching Ur Growth, looking back just these couple years, Ur very delightful and people's too much details into Ur projects, Ur development of what U both are into, growing Ur home, lifestyle. Please be careful with too much detail and discretion, people's are crazy, Safely First and foremost!! Lov Ur idea's and projects Very Inspiring, Keep Rocking Life Beautifully 😊
It is just so adorable the way Russell is totally in love with Laura, he just wants to sit on her the whole time and the way he looks at her is just so precious.
Prayers for a healthy baby and mama, that’s all that matters. My daughter had our 2nd grandson last May. FYI COVID changed everything. We could not meet him until she came home.
I'm 100% with you on the c-section appreciation. I had one with both my kids and it was amazing. I was awake through both and got to feed and hold my babies soon after. Can't wait to meet her.💞💞💞
Laura, I will be praying for a quick & safe delivery of sweet baby girl. God Bless you & the family. I will look forward to your new videos & will catch up on the old ones too. Happy 2021!
I’ve enjoyed watching your new studio come together. For those of us who live where the temps are extreme, we understand. So happy for your new space. 😊👍
I can't speak for everyone else but I love seeing the montage videos of views around your gardens from the past spring and summer. Especially this time of year when I am CRAVING warmer weather and beautiful garden vistas
The comment about too much money being spent on the studio vs a greenhouse... it’s not like you built a whole new structure. You used the existing barn! You deserve real credit for being so ingenious!!
I agree! And for being conscious of how much you are spending! Some people want to have everything “right now” and just go in debt to do it. I think it’s wonderful that you are doing projects as you are able, keeping in mind that those surprise, “have-to projects” like the water heater, are going to come up, and you need to be prepared! Kudos to you! I
Laura..I had my one and only child at age 45..as well, I didn't know I was pregnant til I was 6 and a half months along. I was terrified...I talked to my Dr..we finally agreed to do a C-Section. I don't regret it at all..it was safe for myself and my son. He's six now and doing great! All the best to you and your family!!!
I wanted to tell you about a timer system that my husband discovered. It's called Go Sund. They are outlets you plug into your existing outlets and you download an app for your phone and you can name each outlet and set the timers from your phone! There are indoor types and outdoor types, different sizes and shapes, etc. We LOVE them! The app is on both of our phones so when you said you run your grow lights for 14 hours per day, I immediately grabbed my phone and changed the hours - it was that quick! Since Aaron is tech savvy, i thing he might really enjoy these outlets. We have our outdoor fountains on them so they automatically come on and turn off - we even had all of our Christmas lights/decorates on the outlet timers. They worked perfectly!
Instead of a changing table I had a chest made that I could use later as furniture. I put a changing pad on top. Now they have the sloped pillow that you could put on top. You can put the diapers in the drawers and other baby supplies. I still have the chest 40 years later
All I can say as I sit here on my couch with my little old dog is 'Man, I just love you Laura and Aaron!' Hearing about Benjamin and his new Big Boy bed and soon to be here Baby Girl is like I just caught up with my friends. My very best wishes for a super Happy New Year! XO from The Great Lake State of Michigan🐢
I’m so distracted by the cats... so funny as they make their way around the room but I especially like the cat’s ear flicking in the back while you guys are talking. 😆
Loving the comments about the wide windowsills! When we bought our current home and renovated, I made sure we had wide windowsills everywhere - just for plants! Awesome!!! And....I, too,, would love a walk-through because I have somehow missed seeing a descriptive tour of your interior and have always been fascinated by your home. It has SO much character!
Laura, I had a C section too. Thankful that I did. My baby was 8 pounds 8 ounces. The hospital staff was very kind. The Dr said that my son was up high, he never fully moved down. They joked that he was so comfy all nestled up in there. He did not want to come out.They had to pull him out also. God Bless and good luck.
You are absolutely precious, so excited for you and your family. You take care of yourself and we will be here when you’re ready to return. Prayers for another “easy” delivery and a healthy baby girl.
Laura take it easy for awhile. You are going to be just fine. Enjoy your new baby. It will be a fun time for your family. Your videos are awesome. Thank you, Cathy
I think having a little seating area in the studio. With a table and maybe a small couch 🛋. A nice area rug would be perfect. U could even use it as a filming space for little sit downs. Just like this one!!
So happy for you and Aaron. Take off all the time you need to recover and bond. Our little babies are only young once, so cherish your time with them. Congrats to you all! Happy New Year!!
I would love a video series where you took footage from each season you have lived there of a particular area and showed the changes each year and you talked about the area and what you liked best, etc. The year over year transformation is so awesome. I love to look at old videos and see how far you have come with your lovely property. Thanks for all you do. Truly inspirational.
Thank you Laura for your wisdom and your romantic/fairytale and genuine garden and keeping us in the loop! I appreciate your time and everything beautiful in your garden and the aura that surrounds everything you do! You and your garden brings goodness to my heart. I garden with you in the summer and then we have your company in the winter to see us through the cold and then comes spring... and we are alive again! Warm wishes for you and family from our family with much love always!!! Your are peace and goodness to my heart!
Enjoy your well-earned down time. Old videos to a playlist sounds great - really enjoyed the Christmas music to your holiday videos. Recipes sound great - made the whole wheat penne with butternut squash and mushrooms and it was delicious (sans chicken - am a vegetarian). I love snow for New year's too. We had a white christmas here in SW PA...a good 8" and it was really pretty as I live near woods. Happy New Year! So glad I found your channel on UA-cam during this pandemic...I never had time for a UA-cam habit before. Found some great gardening channels through you as well. Thank you!
U r so down to earth it's amazing I love to watch your videos may God keep blessing u all ,so happy for u all may God bless you and baby doing delivery , I had my two girls by C-section its much better and now I'm 57 years old and have 4 grandsons get plenty of rest
My house was built 1900, we have old tube n wiring structure but nothing hooked up and working. Its nice to see the old, but so nicer to have everything updated.
If you want to still honor the house’s original wallpaper you could try to save a small square of it and frame it once you take it down to replace! Love your videos!
From a mom who had to have 3 c-sections i can tell you the 2nd time around recovery was way faster and much shorter! I was standing the day I had my girl!! Good luck and many blessings!!
Happy New Year to you all! Sit back and enjoy your time with Baby Girl! Can’t wait to see her! Benjamin, your sweet baby boy, is going to look like the jolly green giant compared to her. Prepare yourself for that. 😆Be safe!❤️
You are truly such a doll! I SO appreciate all you share. You’ve been such a HUGE inspiration to me. I have MS and have taken to gardening as my therapy. Thank you so very much for all you do!! As for making videos we all certainly understand. Do whatever you need to hun. We will all be here. Anyway...I am praying for you to have an easy go of it with this delivery and wish you and Aaron nothing but pure bliss! Love, hugs and blessings to all~ Lisa
You two, and your families, are a blessing to your viewers. Thank you for your hard and consistent work schedule over these years. I’ve loved (and learned a lot) watching your progression from “newbies” to the relaxed but real professionals you are. Each with your own talents, but wonderful interactions and playing to the strengths of each. Thanks for including us in your journey and providing hours of enjoyment to our lives. Happy New Year!
BEST OF LUCK WITH EVERYTHING! Any chance that while you're...predisposed....that Aaron could give us some tips on how to set up a drip irrigation system from scratch? Things he wishes he knew then that he knows now? Thank you for all the inspiration you bring us.
@@MrsDallimore08 Oh I agree but I also know that Laura/Aaron wanted to keep up with making regular videos (their decision). I was just suggesting this topic as one that wouldn't lean on Laura like 99% of their other videos.
Good Luck with the new baby girl. I had 2 c-sections too and was so grateful. It’s so fun having the second baby because you are not as nervous about everything. Just wait till Benjamin sees the new baby. He will look so grown up to you. Enjoy every moment! Happy New Year!!!
a good floor guy can refinish floors to match. much cheaper than replacing real hard wood flooring. my kitchen runs into living room, have to look real hard to tell which was replaced.
Often historic house wood flooring is not replaceable as it may not exist anymore, like red oak. You can screed it down to bare wood and put a "Swedish water finish" on it as it is much lighter and clearer and not yellow or orange. I did that in a 1951 house. turned out perfect and not yellow or orange and held up well to young child and dogs and cats and gardening. So glad baby is close and glad you're not doing a V-bac. L&D nurse here. Try and go the distance as babies can't suck at 37 weeks the week most OB Docs want to section. Hold out at least another week.
Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves in addition to all the great gardening info. Prayers for you all and baby girl, whenever she makes her appearance!
I'm getting more excited 😁 knowing that baby girl is almost ready to see her new family!! Benjamin is going to be a great big brother. When my daughter was born my son was instantly in love with her and very protective of his little sister. I have enjoyed being apart of your channel so much and how much you have inspired me to try new things and plants. God bless you both so much you are awesome people. Luv ya!
The two feet window sills sound awesome. The two of you are just so adorable. I love to look at homes from UK olden days with the super thick walls. Castles have it like that and to me it makes it so cozy
Happy New Year and happy journey with baby girl. I wish you plenty of rest and joyful time together as a family of four. Enjoy God's blessing of a new child and may the next days/weeks be full of so much fun adventure and happiness for you, Aaron, and Benjamin.
The studio is great! Your home is beautiful inside and out! Take all the time and rest you need with baby girl and family. We will be here ready to rock come spring. Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!
That's ok you guys deserve some time off to relax and enjoy life we will wait but I'm glad to see your video's gives me ideas to reorganize and what to start planting💖
You are growing a baby and it takes a toll. My midwife got mad at me when I complained of being tired and told me “You’re growing a new spine in there, you should be tired!” I didn’t complain again
Glad to hear you had a nice break after Christmas, you guys deserve it. You work so hard and being pregnant to boot- good on you. Can't wait for the new baby, so excited for you. Take care of yourself. Side note; can you do a video this spring on how to train your arborvitaes with only 1 leader, pls? I bought some this year and didn't know that needed to be done. Thank you
I'm a late night sleeper with insomnia too. Always up past midnight. We went to Hawaii and I was actually sleeping on a normal schedule. I found my perfect time zone!
Make sure the doctor get a q tip with the liquid and coat the baby's mouth. When the baby is born naturally as it passes through the birth canal it ingesting some the liquid and it forms the intestinal flora otherwise can develop issues, I wish I knew abot it when my kid was born he is 28 now and has stomach problems. Very important. I wish I knew at least to give him baby probiotics which I had no idea existed.... Just a suggestion actually! God bless you! Hugs🙏💜🤗😘
Aaron did wear a mic for this video but the audio file was corrupted for some reason so we had to use the camera audio when he talked. It sounds kinda bad, so sorry about that! Happy New Year!!
Good morning, Laura.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year y'all. 🎆
Good morning!
You guys rocked it!! Have a wonderful day 🌟🐕🥰🐕🌟
Would love to see some wedding pictures. Especially of the flowers if you have some
The way Russell looks at Laura when she is talking. What a sweet boy.
He probably sences that baby is close, some cats are like that they seem to know ❤ =^..^=
Cats have a great sense of energy from people! I am certain he senses she is pregnant and baby is coming soon! He just very drawn to her energy! I love it and miss this about having a cat.
I love videos where you and Aaron are discussing projects together. Makes me feel like we are in the room with you. It’s so sweet of you to be so open with us about your life and especially baby girl. So many people have so many strong opinions that I really appreciate your courage to unapologetically share your story. 💞
I made a similar comment to my daughter about this! I love it when we get to be a part of those brainstorming/wishful thinking discussions, and get a glimpse of their hopes and dreams. I think that’s why I feel so connected!
My husband and I think you have the best videos. That's saying alot coming from my husband who is an artist and instructor and has an eye and appreciation for excellent craftsmanship. Laura, you are so good in answering questions graciously that sometimes rub me the wrong way. I consider your new studio as a gift to your followers in making sure your videos are the highest quality and you remain good stewards of efficiency and effectiveness. Blessings upon the arrival of your precious baby girl. I know you'll figure out how to go with the flow and balance everything.
Please take all the off time you need! We’re loyal to GA, and will eagerly (& happily) await your return.
Agree!!! Anyone that has gone through pregnancy, or just has a heart will completely understand!
Russell knows you are ready to pop soon, that is why he is all over you. He is putting baby loving on you. He is being normal. Protective too.
I was thinking the same thing. He may be giving everybody a heads up.
Yes! My cat did that too, 2 days prior to my C-section. I was scheduled for a cesarean section on February 15, but I gave birth on the 7th (because I was in a lot of pain and my baby didn't have a regular heartbeat). My cat probably felt that, he was following me everywhere and he was climbing on my arms, on my chest.
I was thinking the same thing. Intuitive.
Yep!
I agree!
I love that your house is different...not cookie cutter but charming and has character.
I totally agree
Sounds like they will definitely be moving. More and more it comes out they really don't like it!!
Ehhh if they were planning on moving any time soon it would make way more financial sense to keep the two lots separate.
@@patriciabaylor4573 I think they want to move to Idaho too
Love your videos. They inspire me to consider other gardening plants and tools. Love the hand held (pair) cutters!
What would be fun is seeing the progression of different beds over the years. No editing just stacking videos together that were all filmed in the same section of your yard. Just an idea for the down time.
Yes! I have asked for this on other videos as well.
What a great idea!🤞🏼🤞🏼❤️
I was just thinking that I would like to see the progression around the chicken coop. I see a video about something and I would like to see a follow up, but it is usually hard to find it. I think they can create a ton of before and after videos.
Excellent idea!! That would make me appreciate my slow progress, and remind me it takes time!
Yes!

God bless all of you. You are so loved by this community! We can’t wait to meet your newest blessing! Keep safe.
Very excited about baby girl’s arrival! I wish you all the best with the delivery. I have to say that although the new studio looks very nice, I think I’m going to miss you sitting in that lovely porch surrounded by the citrus trees and other plants with the cats crawling all over you.
You guys should start a podcast! I could listen to you to talking about plans, projects, plants, your children and your life in general for a long time!! It feels like I'm sitting with two dear friends 😄❤️
Suggestion for the original wallpaper and other "originals", keep a swatch and frame it in a window box with a photo of old house, etc.
Laura, you don’t need to explain yourself. You built the studio for your work space, simple as that! Your channel has done great, might as well get stuff done now while you can. Love your show. It has reignited my love for gardening. Thank you!

Looking great! So happy for you guys.
Sweet Russell!!! I think he's sensitive that his mommy is about to be preoccupied!
Oh God this is hilarious. Aarons laughter is infectious 😅
Shell, sleeve 😅

Loved the comment: “think of all the plants you can put on those sills!” Oh Yes she did go there!
That is me too, every flat spot has to have a plant or two. LOL.
Prayers for a healthy baby and mama, that’s all that matters. My daughter had our 2nd grandson last May. FYI COVID changed everything. We could not meet him until she came home.

and I cannot wait to see what transpires!
Laura..I had my one and only child at age 45..as well, I didn't know I was pregnant til I was 6 and a half months along. I was terrified...I talked to my Dr..we finally agreed to do a C-Section. I don't regret it at all..it was safe for myself and my son. He's six now and doing great! All the best to you and your family!!!
Is Laura 45? I’m glad you and your baby are okay!

As a fellow pregnant lady due in early 2021... I can agree that you should be kind to yourself and not push yourself during this time!
Russell knows baby girl will be here soon. What a wonderful exciting time for your sweet family ❤️
I spit my coffee out at Aaron's comment, "might as well be a candy house" and Laura's response, "it doesn't rain much here..." Hilarious!
I think Russell was a dog in a past life. 🥰 He is just loves to be with you all the time.
Russell grow up from small kitten there so he considers Laura as his mama.
Cats love to be with you all the time too. At least nearby. They follow me around in the yard and house all day.
All I can say as I sit here on my couch with my little old dog is
'Man, I just love you Laura and Aaron!'
Hearing about Benjamin and his new Big Boy bed and soon to be here Baby Girl is like I just caught up with my friends.

U r so down to earth it's amazing I love to watch your videos may God keep blessing u all ,so happy for u all may God bless you and baby doing delivery , I had my two girls by C-section its much better and now I'm 57 years old and have 4 grandsons get plenty of rest
My house was built 1900, we have old tube n wiring structure but nothing hooked up and working. Its nice to see the old, but so nicer to have everything updated.
I think "your limit" is amazing! All the outdoor decor was delightful, and the trees too. You did enough!
I just love when the two of you laugh and giggle, especially Aaron because he is rarely heard in your videos.
If you want to still honor the house’s original wallpaper you could try to save a small square of it and frame it once you take it down to replace! Love your videos!
Best wishes! Being relaxed makes the second baby soooooo much easier!
From a mom who had to have 3 c-sections i can tell you the 2nd time around recovery was way faster and much shorter! I was standing the day I had my girl!! Good luck and many blessings!!
Oh Laura.. take time and do what feeds your soul. Sending prayers for a speedy delivery of baby girl and I look forward to meeting her. 😍
Praying for you and your family for a safe and healthy delivery.
Happy New Year to you all! Sit back and enjoy your time with Baby Girl! Can’t wait to see her! Benjamin, your sweet baby boy, is going to look like the jolly green giant compared to her. Prepare yourself for that. 😆Be safe!❤️
He will age tremendously overnight.
You are truly such a doll! I SO appreciate all you share. You’ve been such a HUGE inspiration to me. I have MS and have taken to gardening as my therapy. Thank you so very much for all you do!! As for making videos we all certainly understand. Do whatever you need to hun. We will all be here. Anyway...I am praying for you to have an easy go of it with this delivery and wish you and Aaron nothing but pure bliss! Love, hugs and blessings to all~ Lisa
You two, and your families, are a blessing to your viewers. Thank you for your hard and consistent work schedule over these years. I’ve loved (and learned a lot) watching your progression from “newbies” to the relaxed but real professionals you are. Each with your own talents, but wonderful interactions and playing to the strengths of each. Thanks for including us in your journey and providing hours of enjoyment to our lives. Happy New Year!
I ditched the changing table after baby #1. By the last it was down to a basket of supplies and a mat that fit into basket. Always used the sofa.
Thanks for continuing to take the time to provide updates. All the best to you; I can't wait for baby girl to arrive.
BEST OF LUCK WITH EVERYTHING!
Any chance that while you're...predisposed....that Aaron could give us some tips on how to set up a drip irrigation system from scratch? Things he wishes he knew then that he knows now? Thank you for all the inspiration you bring us.
I think he’ll be a bit busy helping Laura with Benjamin and new baby girl to be worrying about videos for us
@@MrsDallimore08 Oh I agree but I also know that Laura/Aaron wanted to keep up with making regular videos (their decision). I was just suggesting this topic as one that wouldn't lean on Laura like 99% of their other videos.
Happy New Year!!! Wishing you all a prosperous, joyful, blessed 2021!
In Sweden they have homes built inside of a green houses and I love the look. So cool.
I feel like Russell and Cheddar are feeling like she is due at at moment now, hence why they're all over Laura!
Happy New Year! So much to look forward to! 💝
I love that Russell is loving you and the new baby. New studio is big enough for a baby bouncer and play pen.
Good Luck with the new baby girl. I had 2 c-sections too and was so grateful. It’s so fun having the second baby because you are not as nervous about everything. Just wait till Benjamin sees the new baby. He will look so grown up to you. Enjoy every moment! Happy New Year!!!
A video idea: a teaser kind of video where you disclose some of your coming project for the new year. An easy sit down kinda video
I watched one of your old videoes in 2017 when you had a lot of snow. It was interesting to watch, so old videos' would be great.
a good floor guy can refinish floors to match. much cheaper than replacing real hard wood flooring. my kitchen runs into living room, have to look real hard to tell which was replaced.
And less chaos.
I’m so glad Aaron is now mic’d up for these. It’s cute hearing you two talk about things 🤗
Often historic house wood flooring is not replaceable as it may not exist anymore, like red oak. You can screed it down to bare wood and put a "Swedish water finish" on it as it is much lighter and clearer and not yellow or orange. I did that in a 1951 house. turned out perfect and not yellow or orange and held up well to young child and dogs and cats and gardening. So glad baby is close and glad you're not doing a V-bac. L&D nurse here. Try and go the distance as babies can't suck at 37 weeks the week most OB Docs want to section. Hold out at least another week.
Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves in addition to all the great gardening info. Prayers for you all and baby girl, whenever she makes her appearance!
I'm getting more excited 😁 knowing that baby girl is almost ready to see her new family!! Benjamin is going to be a great big brother. When my daughter was born my son was instantly in love with her and very protective of his little sister. I have enjoyed being apart of your channel so much and how much you have inspired me to try new things and plants. God bless you both so much you are awesome people. Luv ya!
Happy New Year!! Praying for everything with the baby to work out well!
The two feet window sills sound awesome. The two of you are just so adorable. I love to look at homes from UK olden days with the super thick walls. Castles have it like that and to me it makes it so cozy
Happy New Year and happy journey with baby girl. I wish you plenty of rest and joyful time together as a family of four. Enjoy God's blessing of a new child and may the next days/weeks be full of so much fun adventure and happiness for you, Aaron, and Benjamin.
The studio is great! Your home is beautiful inside and out! Take all the time and rest you need with baby girl and family. We will be here ready to rock come spring. Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!
That's ok you guys deserve some time off to relax and enjoy life we will wait but I'm glad to see your video's gives me ideas to reorganize and what to start planting💖
You are growing a baby and it takes a toll. My midwife got mad at me when I complained of being tired and told me “You’re growing a new spine in there, you should be tired!” I didn’t complain again
You will do great when baby girl comes! You have so many people on your side!❤️🇨🇦🙏🌷
Exciting. Baby girl will be here soon! God bless. I am praying for an easy delivery and fast recovery. 💗🍼👶
Lol! ❤️ conversation with Aaron about a shell/sleeve and a 2 foot windowsill! Y’all are a hoot! Hugs from Dallas, TX
Hi Laura, Thank you for all your videos and the time you and Aaron put into them. They are all so much fun to watch.
Glad to hear you had a nice break after Christmas, you guys deserve it. You work so hard and being pregnant to boot- good on you.
Can't wait for the new baby, so excited for you. Take care of yourself.
Side note; can you do a video this spring on how to train your arborvitaes with only 1 leader, pls? I bought some this year and didn't know that needed to be done. Thank you
I'm a late night sleeper with insomnia too. Always up past midnight. We went to Hawaii and I was actually sleeping on a normal schedule. I found my perfect time zone!
Make sure the doctor get a q tip with the liquid and coat the baby's mouth. When the baby is born naturally as it passes through the birth canal it ingesting some the liquid and it forms the intestinal flora otherwise can develop issues, I wish I knew abot it when my kid was born he is 28 now and has stomach problems. Very important. I wish I knew at least to give him baby probiotics which I had no idea existed.... Just a suggestion actually! God bless you! Hugs🙏💜🤗😘
