This is the only pregnancy I’ve ever cared about on youtube. He’s a miracle baby!! My mom got pregnant with me at 30 after she was told she could never have kids and then I was born with the cord around my neck and not breathing (I was clinically dead). The doctors rushed me away and told my mom I wouldn’t make it through the night and if I did I’d be severely brain damaged from the lack of oxygen. I did and she finally held me three days later and now I just turned 20 and in college to go to med school!! Yay to all the miracle babies!!!
i have a similar story and born dead as the first child for my parents, they called me odeia because in hebrew it means thanks to god now studying physics with great honors in the most prestigious university in my country
OMG OMG OMG!❤❤❤ My 2 favorite not only UA-camrs, but 2 of my favorite women on this whole beautiful planet!! I relate to and love you and Kristi in SO many different and amazing ways..for whatever reason....it just makes my heart SO freaking happy to see you doing well Jess, with your beautiful family and channel...and Kristi & Zack getting this well deserved miracle....and you two amazing humans watching and supporting eachother😍😍😍 this just hits differently in a totally awesome, beautiful way! Sorry I'm rambling but I am literally fangirling SO hard right now! I just love both of you and you all have gotten me and so many others to smile and feel better in this crazy, heartbreaking year..and seeing you both doing well is just.....perfect ❤💯
I just found out I’m pregnant via IUI after 5 years of trying. I was in such disbelief... I’ve taken countless tests. I’m just so happy. & I’m so happy for you Kristi. Thank you for being you and spreading kindness. 💕
My stepmother died in her 30s when I was a teen due to cancer.. though she wasn't a biological parent she was an incredible mother. Her and my dad tried for my sister for 7 years. I have been watching your pregnancy updates because they remind me of her and all the excitement she must've been feeling finally getting her dream. Just think its crazy all the similarities and then finding out how your mother passed just felt too coincidental. Thank you for helping me connect with her, this is just incredible to me 😊
On his birthday every year you should have a picture of him in front of his oak tree 🥺🥺 it would be so sweet and adorable and special. I'm just imagining you and Zack sitting beside a newly planted tree with a newborn in your arms, and then I'm imagining an 18 year old boy standing next to a big oak tree 😭😭😭😭
I hope this doesn’t sound weird, but you are genuinely one of the most beautiful pregnant women I have ever seen in my life. Hearing you talk about how you struggled a little bit with your body’s changes saddens me because that is a direct result of our society and the pressure it puts on us as women. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I am SO so unbelievably happy for your little growing family 💕
I'm sorry I laughed at that too :D I would be the same for sure cause I hate being left out of something anyway and if that was amplified, crying town 😂
Hahaha girl, I’m only laughing because I can 100% relate right now. I cried because he wouldn’t buy me a blanket at Costco that I SAID WAS UGLY. 😭 god bless him.
"At some point I, You, all of us were THIS little baby." So cute, I had this realisation when I was pregnant too and you wait, it's worse when you have them in your arms and you see a homeless person, or hear bad things about someone being hurt or picked on. You end up holding your baby tighter and thinking 🥺 "aww nooo, that's somebody's baby!"
I saw some lady's obviously abusive boyfriend just yelling at her at the top of his lungs outside a store and her son who couldn't have been more than 3 years old and he was just quietly standing there holding his scooter and I started bawling once I got to the car. Everything in me wanted to just take him home, tell him everything is going to be okay and tell the mama she doesn't need that and she can overcome anything and just ugh. No baby should have to experience bad things and it never hurt thinking about that as bad as it does now that I'm a mom
I remember I cried because my husband remembered a side of tabasco for my burrito while I was pregnant. I opened the chipotle bag and I was like... You remembered my hot sauce!?!?!? 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm 35 years old and I was finally ready to start trying (met my soulmate, getting married, financially stable) and BOOM I'm diagnosed with cancer. I'm devestated, but you give me hope that next year I'll still be able to have a healthy baby.
You'll realize how connected you really are once he's born and no longer in your belly... I know for me, after my son was born, I had a very empty feeling, almost lonely... it's really hard to explain.
I TTC for 13 years before welcoming my miracle baby. Everything you imagine about motherhood, is a trillion times sweeter. Multiple times a day I give thanks and cry almost every night at the intense love and gratitude I feel. You’re going to make an amazing mommy. Stare and hold at your baby, it goes by so fast.
@@RawBeautyKristi Infertility will always live on the surface of my heart. I don’t take a second for granted. We stare at our child in awe, we’re probably really annoying 🤣🥰 I’m so glad YOU get the experience the amazing journey of motherhood.
I am livinggg for this motherhood content/comments. I hope the Lord has someone for me too, so that I can experience the joys of motherhood/being a wife as well. 🥰
Watching your Shower had me in 😢. So precious! You should take a picture of the baby next to the oak tree every year on his birthday to see them grow together. 😍
Yes exactly how I feel every time Kristi posts ANYTHING about her pregnancy. I'm just so incredibly happy for her and Zack that I'll devour all her preggo updates.
Creation of a human person is magical. Even if it's not your journey, watching someone else's incubation story, is mind blowing. (Especially if it's all they ever wanted)
Same! everytime she does an update video, i google "** weeks pregnant" to see how big baby is and now the algorithm thinks I'M pregnant and keeps showing me pregnancy related ads and tons of baby stuff 😂
I third this! I'm curious if they are going to try for another baby after a year or so from what I heard it's easier to get pregnant the second time. I also have pcos and have not been able to get pregnant it breaks my heart because that's what I always wanted but as I have gotten older I have realized it is what it is , I have my cats lol
The stretch marks I consider a badge of honor. Embrace them because they are part of your journey in life. They tell a story, especially when you thought you would never have a baby. It is truly a miracle.
I love u so much for embracing the belly, the stretch marks and everything , and showing it to us , u are showing the true reality of what pregnancy is like and I’m so grateful, u are showing us that there’s nothing wrong with us for not having the Instagram baby belly
Thank you!!!! Yessss she's beautiful and perfect and I look at her and see nothing but pride and beauty and everything right in the world rn. She looks perfect first of all, I see no flaws🥺 no such thing.
Maternity cloths rock after pregnancy. I promise you that. Things don’t “snap” back by any means. The first three months are a blur of happiness and exhaustion. You will want those comfortable cloths!
This reminded me that my stepmom got really smell sensitive during pregnancy, and would break down crying if anyone farted near her😂 On the subject of crying, you really almost got me when talking about your relationship with your body over the years. I am so grateful for how genuinely deep you’re able to go in these videos, it’s so refreshing and wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us!
My belly was huge. Everyone thought I was gonna have a whopper of a baby. She barely weighed 7lbs. No matter how much you prepare, you'll never be prepared. Just gotta go with it. You'll do great and be fine. Just soak in every small tiny thing. Those moments are important.
I went from 134 lbs to 210lbs with my sweet little boy. And he only weighed 6lbs even! I was all water, severely swollen and had gestational diabetes like our girl here. And still, my son was only 6lbs! Nothing is ever what you expect, that’s for sure!
Same here! I had plenty of fluid and swelling but my little girl was only 5 lbs. 4 oz. Every pregnancy, woman and baby are so different; it's fascinating!
I legit cried because my husband forgot to pick me up pop tarts, during the morning sickness it was the only thing I could keep down. They aren’t even good. They taste like cardboard, and I actually cried until I threw up. 😅 hormones are no joke!
I’m an OB/Gyn L&D RN. The pains you are feeling my be your large intestines. Since you are short, your intestines, gas, and food don’t have as much room as a taller person, especially where the bends in your intestines are. The large intestine goes up your right side, across the upper abdomen, and down your left side.
I'm old, my girls are 21 24 but wow watching you brings back all those memories. I lost my mom when I was 19. Had my first child at 30. I wanted her there...but then realized she was. Bless you and your miracle. 😇💕
When you leave to give birth remember to look behind in your door one last time and take it in, because your home will never be the same again and it’s a moment you’ll remember forever I promise.. Also omg you have me crying and laughing all at the same time over here watching the clips from your baby shower! Thank you for letting us see some small pieces of it. I’m so happy for you and Zach and the little guy. You guys make my heart smile and are going to be amazing parents! We would totally be bffs in real life, just saying lol. Congrats again and I can’t wait to see the little guy and hear about what birth was like and how you 2 feel as parents. There is truly nothing like holding your baby for the first time, and you’ll feel love like you never have before.
They were popular in Germany in the last 15 years. Now, 2021 a new law prohibits 3D and 4D scans... I am sad, I had the opportunity with my first. Now it won't be possible for my 2nd, because the fetus is not big enough yet. I do not understand this... Seemingly an institution found out that these scans warm up the Baby and placenta while the Maschine is working/ ultra scanning. The temperature difference is like 0,08% but this is reason enough to stop that 😢😢😢
@@amandajones8285 Agree!! My kid is 8 now, but back when I was pregnant I remember people telling me to go get one and I clearly remember thinking ’no, thanks. I have zero intentions of spending that much to see my baby all smushed up and weird’ 🤣
@@ceciliatapioca my hospital doesn’t even ask if I want one, they just do it. I hate looking at them because their faces don’t even look normal because of the liquids and whatnot. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this 😌
Sometimes I literally get chills seeing your pregnancy updates. I just think back to all of the years I have followed you and you always were sure you couldn’t get pregnant. It’s like a literal miracle baby. Ugh, I love it so much. Love you! 😘😘😘♥️
You are so deserving of all of the amazing thoughtful gifts your family and friends got for you!! OOHHHH I love that you shared it with us! So stunning!
@Em haha apparently they're harder to get these days!! I need to be 'well known' on multiple platforms! LAME haha Good to see you here!! Kristi is THE BEST!!! I'm so happy for her!
Absolutely this!! ^^ I was so stressed about my daughter's arrival and making sure everything was perfect. We didn't use her (perfectly put-together) room more than a handful of times the first 6 months because she was in our room in the bassinet for a while, then the pack n play. As a breastfeeding mama I couldn't deal with all the middle of the night feedings without having her close by. All we REALLY needed those first few weeks were sleepers and onesies, a boppy/breastfeeding pillow, diapers (soooooo many diapers! Don't buy more than a pack or two of newborn size as most babies are only in that size for a super short time, if at all- my daughter was 9lb 8oz so she was in size 1 right off the bat lol! Get a lot of size 1s and 2s), diaper cream, wipes, and for me: nipple cream, breast pads and nursing bras, warm blankets, protein bars, shakes (and other easy, health-ish snacks I could stash around the house for quick access) and tons of water (breastfeeding will make you soooooo thirsty!). Try to focus more on making sure the house is clean (so much nicer to come home from the hospital to a clean house, clean sheets/bedding with all the laundry done), making sure you have at least a week's worth of groceries, and meals prepped that can be popped right into the oven or crockpot for easy, healthy meals. You will be so exhausted and obsessed with just staring at your your little guy that you won't want to think about regular stuff like that for a bit. Also, just a heads up, you are going to be wearing those maternity clothes for a lot longer than 6 more weeks (probably). Even if you drop a lot of the baby weight fast, you're going to be so reluctant to give up comfy amazing pregnancy clothes for stupid, tight regular clothes (with buttons and zippers, the horror! Lol). I STILL miss my maternity clothes (my kid's almost 4 haha). Anyway, that is my very long advice, good luck to you! I have enjoyed watching you grow so excited to become a mom, you are truly one of the most beautiful pregnant women ever and I can just tell you are already so in love with your son, it's adorable ❤️.
There is just nothing comfortable about having a baby or early breastfeeding AT FIRST. But hang in, and all of the discomfort will pass, and you won't even remember it! And though it was a shock for me - real time! - my childbirths weren't about ME. They were about my kids and how they wanted to come into the world - they were the stars of the show, and my job was almost to get out of the way! Wishing you every blessing on your pending adventure!
So, you probably won’t see this, BUT I’m going to post it anyways. I have PCOS and was feeling really discouraged about getting pregnant. I saw your pregnancy announcement a few months ago, and it gave me hope. And now I’m pregnant! So, thanks for the hope! And congrats on nearing the end!
When I was super pregnant and couldn’t get much pee out when I felt like my bladder would explode, I’d pee in the shower. It was so much easier standing up😂 I understand how gross that sounds to some people but there is no shame when you’re pregnant. None.
😇😅 well I’m not pregnant 🤰🏻 and I can swear I prefer to pee standing same with the shower 🚿 🤫the hot water will make you want to pee I have issues with my lymph glands and for last 1 year I been drinking like crazy up too 3 litres a day and I literally have to pee every 30 mins at least 🤧😢
Kristi: *Balls eyes out over gifts* Me: *laughing hysterically* Kristi: *shows belly with soft music playing* Me: *balls eyes out* We are all so happy and excited for you!!!! I have never wanted October (Halloween) and November (Birthday) to get over and done with so fast in my life!
I didn’t have an immediate connection with my daughter for about 2 months. I felt so guilty but I found out it’s totally normal for some people not to have an instant connection. Please know that you might be extremely emotional and overwhelmed and there’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t have that connection. Also keep an eye out for PPD
@@RawBeautyKristi I accidentally read this exactly at the same moment you said that!! What are the freaking odds. I'm so happy for you Kristi 💜 I literally cried when you said you only have about 6 weeks left!! I can't even put into words how happy I am for you and Zack! Much love girl 💜💜💜
Hahaha YES!! mine were: 1. Hubby took me to breakfast, but by the time we got there, they were serving lunch. I cried to my waitress because *all I wanted was some damn pancakes* and she had ruined my life 2. I had to remove my wedding band because it was making my finger fall asleep, and I just knew I was the *worst wife ever* 3. My cat didn't like the brand of canned food I brought home, and I was a *failure* at being a cat parent. (pretty sure he was _actually_ avoiding me cause I was a crazy ass human at that point lol) The things we suffer for our kids 😁
@@luqicharmz oh girl I know about that lol.. I once wanted McDonald's fries and Chick fil a nuggets.. my husband was so irritated lmaooooo Food was barely warm by the time we got home lmao
Hi Kristi!! My best friend is in ACTIVE labor right now, 37 weeks. Her and I have been huge fans of you for a while and she had fertility issues too. If You could respond something for me to send to her she would be sooo ecstatic. We love you! ♥️♥️
Omg this is so so so exciting!!! HUGE congratulations to her and her sweet baby! She’s got this! She’s strong, powerful, incredible and will do absolutely amazing! 😭💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼
I swear, seeing your prego belly is truly such a beautiful thing. I cry every time. Lol. I can't help it. That baby, this pregnancy, is such a miracle and ultimately a huge inspiration. I'm so ready to see him!
I almost cried when you were talking about your stomach and the way it looks 😭 I turned 38 weeks today and its my biggest insecurity because my stomach doesn’t look like a “regular” pregnant belly 🤰🏼 It was like you were giving me that pep talk telling me to just stop caring! 😭❤️
I bet it's beautiful. You're growing a whole human! Even if you don't feel it that is a beautiful thing. And I know it can get you down but you and baby's health is so much more important than how you look and anyone who judges you or passes remarks can fuck right off.
Ugh everytime Kristi cries I cry 😭 God love ya I CANNOT wait til that insanely precious baby boy gets here!!! Talk about feeling your whole heart bursting with love & pure insane happiness. Literally nothing like it & I wish every woman could feel it / have it. Normally I get the baby blues watching strangers (tho I feel like I know you thanks to years of following your channels) I didn’t have a partner through my pregnancy or delivery to share it with so it’s bittersweet to see others having experiences I didn’t & it makes me want another but I cannot help but burst into tears with happiness watching every single update from you!!!! Praying for a quick safe delivery of baby !!!!
I discovered your channel through the "telling my husband I'm pregnant video". I've never been more happy and excited for a pregnancy 😁😁 The baby clothes haul absolutely melted my heart..."like buttons on his overalls for when he's out picking carrots" so wholesome. All the best to you and your family ❤👪💕
I'm 26 weeks and the part where your husband says "are you okay?" And you say no... I lost it. All the tears 😭 You are absolutely gorgeous while pregnant and I haven't ever been more happy for a pregnant youtuber in my entire life. I love seeing this journey!
I love this. Especially when you talked about how you'll be remembered and loved by people. I vividly remember being a child, snuggled up to my mom, and her talking about losing weight. I was *heartbroken*. I never saw my mother as fat, I only saw her as something that was soft and warm and comforting when I hugged her. The thought of losing that part of her was too much for my little 6-year-old brain. People never care as much as we think they do.
I literally had the same experience with my dad when i was around the same age; he was fairly big but when my mum said to him about losing weight I said I didn’t want him to bc I couldn’t cuddle up to his belly when i was tired or sad, i think he waited a few more years to lose it, kids are cute❤️
Girl, you need arms, breasts, and diapers. That is all a baby needs. Everything else is convenience items. You are ready. You got this. Try not to stress out on it too much. You got love, so much love, and your baby will be just fine.
I'M ACTUALLY CRYING THAT HES SMILING IN THE ULTRASOUND LITERALLY YOU DESERVE EVERY OUNCE OF THIS AND I AM SO FUQ FRICKIN HAPPY FOR YOU OKAY, AWWWWH. xoxo
"I'm going to tell you something that I didn't learn until I became a father. You don't just love your children. You fall in love with them." - Frasier
I'm new to your channel and I'm loving, loving, loving all of you lol. This video spoke to me so much! I'm a 48 year old not by choice single mom to man children that are 19 and almost 21. My husband, their dad passed away in 2007 from cancer and the boys were very young. In that my bond with my boys is soooo strong and your bond with your son is going to be so strong because of your experiences. I take great pride in my stretch marks and gray hair, I've earned them. It's kinda my badge of honor in a way. You were meant to be this precious sweet souls mommy, enjoy every second-it really does go so fast!
My biggest lesson in life was when I was 16 and got in a car wreck. I was flown to the top trauma center in the US. The top doctors in the US told me i would be in a wheelchair, wouldn't have kids,, would be in the hospital for at least 9 months. Well I walked out of the hospital in a week. 23 years later I still don't use a wheel chair and I have 4 beautiful daughters that my body carried. That taught me that I was not in control and that no other human was in control
Wow, this pregnancy is a wonderful time for you to reconnect and trust your body again. I’m so happy for you! X Also I think one of the best things we can show our kids is how to love ourselves no matter what so it’s lovely to see your working through and letting go of insecurities as I am aswell. Sending love 💓
It would be so wonderful to have Zack at some small point in your next update. I wanna know how he’s doing? Is he as anxious as you are, etc Maybe we can suggest questions? Thank you so much for sharing 🌸🌸
“Lopsided as hell” 😂😂🥰 Girl, I love your transparency about your body changes. I guarantee you’re helping other people feel even just a smidge more accepting of their own changes. 😉💛💛
I've got 3 kids and what blows my mind everytime is that you know your having a baby and you plan and dream about it for months yet when that baby is placed on your belly it blows your mind everytime that you made this perfect human
It’s so interesting how we all experience different emotions and feelings of connection. With my first kiddo I didn’t feel that “omg you are the love of my life” right away. It was more an overwhelming sense of responsibility and protectiveness. With my second it was more instant but I think it was because I already knew I was capable of taking care of a tiny human. I’m so excited for you, I got to watch this with my 6 week old squish sleeping next to me. I can’t wait until you can snuggle your own baby!
These videos mean so much to me. We've struggled to get pregnant and I'd been told by everyone that it's possible it might not happen. However just a month ago I found out I was pregnant. It helps to hear someone else share their fears and the realistic things that happen during a pregnancy. I thought I was honestly being punk'd when I saw the positive pregnancy test. I have honestly never been more scared and more excited in my entire life and I think my husband is about the same right now. I'm surrounded by people at my work that are mothers already that say stupid things like, "Oh well if you have enough willpower you won't get morning sick and actually throw up." It's been absolutely rough the last few weeks with the morning sickness and I'm waiting to go to my first appointment. I'm scared it will be an ectopic pregnancy or something else will be horribly wrong and there won't be a baby. These videos provide me with this sweet little nugget of hope and I can't even begin to thank you for doing these and being so honest. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My sister is a week away from her due date. She was laughing while she was talking to us and peed on herself and threw up at the same time. Towards the end of my pregnancy I was constantly peeing on myself after laughing or coughing so I feel your pain lmao
I remember peeing while laughing with my husband at the end of my pregnancy. I suddenly ran to the bathroom and my husband followed. Then I started sobbing because I was embarrassed. 😂 Quickest switch of emotions ever 😂
I really don't invest in social influencer's lives, but her I am sobbing with her over her baby shower, and her baby. I am so so so so happy for you both, you're going to be fabulous parents, and his social circle and family is going to be the strongest and most loving circle of them all. Thank you for sharing this with us, and know we are so grateful to see your journey!
i’m not pregnant, but your talk at the end about always expecting the worst, with certainty, and being proven wrong and everything was so awesome and is actually similar to something my therapist would say to me. i don’t know how to articulate why it was so good to hear you say, but that was probably my favorite part of your video besides your beautiful baby shower! i’m so happy for you!
i’m recently pregnant and we had also thought we wouldn’t be able to conceive. since I found out i’ve constantly worried about it not really happening. I saw the positive test and was like “oh no, it’s not real. it’s something else.” or “it’s ectopic” or that i’d lose it. i’m 9 weeks tomorrow, and so far there is a baby in my uterus with a heartbeat. I really appreciated you talking about those early feelings and the worrying because it’s what i’m going through right now, but maybe soon i’ll be in your shoes and be saying how it was just my anxiety and it’s all for real. excited for both of our future mom endeavors ❤️ thanks girly
Congratulations. Hang in there. All of us new moms worried about everything the first pregnancy. Its pretty normal. Just try to enjoy it and remind yourself to breathe. ❤❤
I don’t know if you’re into religion or anything, but I’d love to pray for you and your little one if you’re comfortable with that ❤️ I’m wishing the best for you and baby
Your tummy has dropped really low. That’s usually a sign baby has dropped into position and ready to come. Make sure you are ready in case he’s going to make an early appearance. So happy for you both.
@@odettesummers8229 I get that lol mine dropped over the weekend and I started feeling serious pressure, I had just seen my OB the Thursday before, and on Monday she moved my due date up from New years eve to the 20th of December (he still had to be induced on Jan. 10. Because he was apparently quite comfy 🤣) My point is looks can be totally deceiving lol.
I cried because I forgot to give a coupon at the grocery store. I asked if they could input it after I had paid and they kindly said no. I got in my car and cried a river. Over a $1 coupon. Yep I was a crier while pregnant
I want you to know that breastfeeding is so hard at first and that's perfectly normal! Too many moms give up breastfeeding bc it looks a helluva lot easier than it actually is. No doctor or nurse or instagram mom ever prepared me for the discomfort and pain and weariness and worries that come with breastfeed. If it's hard for you at first too, then just keep in mind that it's normal and you're likely not doing anything wrong as long as little bub is growing!
Or is it talked about that some woman have inverted nipples. Didn’t know that was a thing... but the baby will break the bands and breastfeeding comes naturally. That’s why God gave us breast- to feed our offspring. My son came out looking for a boob that was his third word. Boobies.
Relate to this 1000%!!! No one ever told me about how hard & painful breastfeeding was going to be! Boy was I in for a surprise! My son had trouble latching & I would have tears rolling down my face but I was determined I was going to breastfeed him...& I did! He & I finally figured it out & the pain went away and I breastfeed him until he was 11 months. 😊
wow.... WOW KRISTI!!!! I fee like you just announced your pregnancy last week. now you are only what... FIVE WEEKS AWAY????? So unbelievably happy for you and your little family

Awww Kristi I can hear you trying to catch your breath while you talk. I remember that feeling so well. That was the most tiring thing about the third trimester. Not breathing easily makes you tired...

This is the only pregnancy I’ve ever cared about on youtube. He’s a miracle baby!! My mom got pregnant with me at 30 after she was told she could never have kids and then I was born with the cord around my neck and not breathing (I was clinically dead). The doctors rushed me away and told my mom I wouldn’t make it through the night and if I did I’d be severely brain damaged from the lack of oxygen. I did and she finally held me three days later and now I just turned 20 and in college to go to med school!! Yay to all the miracle babies!!!
I'm glad you're with us today 💕
@@footferrie aww I love you❤️
love to see you help others in need after finishing med school ❤️ you go miracle baby 😍 proud of you
So sweet. 💜
i have a similar story and born dead as the first child for my parents, they called me odeia because in hebrew it means thanks to god
now studying physics with great honors in the most prestigious university in my country
Is anyone else's end of the year going like this: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Kristi's Baby Boy, Christmas, New Year?
Yup 🤭
I almost want to plan everything else around her baby 😂
I definitely think baby is coming around thanksgiving tbh🥺 imagine a thanksgiving baby, can we get more fitting?🥰
Her baby is due the day before my boyfriends birthday and I’m more excited for the baby’s birthday. Don’t tell my boyfriend 🙊
Love this comment lol
I can't believe you're 34 weeks already!!! I'm so happy for you and zack! 😭❤
Me either Jess! I'm still so in shock that Kristi and Zack are gonna be parents! btw LOVE your channel

Why is this so true?😂😂
That is exactly how it seems!
Kristi’s pregnancy is hands down the greatest thing of 2020
darn tootin xD
Absolutely!! I agree 100%!! Without this, we would have NOTHING good for 2020!
No, Harris as Vice President is
Granted that nothing else good has happened in 2020 but you're right
“Just because I FEEL something will happen doesn’t mean it will. That isn’t real. That’s anxiety.” Why did this make me cry.
Girl same!
Probably the best life lesson you can get 😭
Truth hits hard 😭
I just found out I’m pregnant via IUI after 5 years of trying. I was in such disbelief... I’ve taken countless tests. I’m just so happy. & I’m so happy for you Kristi. Thank you for being you and spreading kindness. 💕
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations ❤️ wishing you all the best
Awwwe congratulations!
Congratulations 🎉
Best of luck to you! :)
Kristi: *sobbing*
Zack: ‘ohhh, you’re such a little mess’
Lmaoooo I BARK laughed
Seriously, such a funny/adorable moment, they're such a cute couple
Z:”Are you okay?”
K:”NO😭”
So excited for her baby to be here!!
Lmao 😂
“Kristi are you ok?”
Kristi sobbing: “nooooooo”
😂😂 you have my heart!
Honestly the most adorable and funny thing I’ve ever seen 😂
Kristi having a baby is the grand finale of 2020! I can‘t wait!!
The happy ending we all need this year!
Amanda exactly! It‘s the one good thing of 2020! I feel like I‘m pregnant myself, I‘m that excited for them.
The one good thing to happen in 2020!
My stepmother died in her 30s when I was a teen due to cancer.. though she wasn't a biological parent she was an incredible mother. Her and my dad tried for my sister for 7 years. I have been watching your pregnancy updates because they remind me of her and all the excitement she must've been feeling finally getting her dream. Just think its crazy all the similarities and then finding out how your mother passed just felt too coincidental. Thank you for helping me connect with her, this is just incredible to me 😊
On his birthday every year you should have a picture of him in front of his oak tree 🥺🥺 it would be so sweet and adorable and special.
I'm just imagining you and Zack sitting beside a newly planted tree with a newborn in your arms, and then I'm imagining an 18 year old boy standing next to a big oak tree 😭😭😭😭
Omg yessss! Such a beautiful idea 💗
Rebecca White perfect idea!! I hope they do that!!
Omg imma cry 😭
Love this idea
Stoppppp I did not need to cry today 😂
I hope this doesn’t sound weird, but you are genuinely one of the most beautiful pregnant women I have ever seen in my life. Hearing you talk about how you struggled a little bit with your body’s changes saddens me because that is a direct result of our society and the pressure it puts on us as women. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. I am SO so unbelievably happy for your little growing family 💕
Oooh, very well said. And she IS so gorgeous, you are right!
Ugh I’m 39 weeks currently. I cried sooooo hard when my husband went to Target without me a few weeks ago. Even locked myself in the guest room.
I'm sorry I laughed at that. Hang in there honey.🥰
I'm sorry I laughed at that too :D I would be the same for sure cause I hate being left out of something anyway and if that was amplified, crying town 😂
Hahaha girl, I’m only laughing because I can 100% relate right now. I cried because he wouldn’t buy me a blanket at Costco that I SAID WAS UGLY. 😭 god bless him.
“You’re such a little mess. Are you okay?”
“Noooooo”.
LIVING for that moment.
that was the cutest no i've ever heard in my entire life
When she says she extremely emotional... we ALL are extremely emotional about this baby.. 😂😂
I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭😭😭😭 💕
I cried 😭 that baby shower was amazing
I'm definitely crying.. All these happy tears. I can't control it I'm just soo happy about this pregnancy
I’ve never been so invested in someone being pregnant that I don’t know personally! I am just so over the moon for you and Zack! 💙💙💙
Same
So true!
Same!
Yes! Same!
"At some point I, You, all of us were THIS little baby."
So cute, I had this realisation when I was pregnant too and you wait, it's worse when you have them in your arms and you see a homeless person, or hear bad things about someone being hurt or picked on. You end up holding your baby tighter and thinking 🥺 "aww nooo, that's somebody's baby!"
Awww can this post be highlighted.... this is where our humanity and compassion is refined.
I saw some lady's obviously abusive boyfriend just yelling at her at the top of his lungs outside a store and her son who couldn't have been more than 3 years old and he was just quietly standing there holding his scooter and I started bawling once I got to the car. Everything in me wanted to just take him home, tell him everything is going to be okay and tell the mama she doesn't need that and she can overcome anything and just ugh. No baby should have to experience bad things and it never hurt thinking about that as bad as it does now that I'm a mom
I remember I cried because my husband remembered a side of tabasco for my burrito while I was pregnant. I opened the chipotle bag and I was like... You remembered my hot sauce!?!?!? 😭😭😭😭😭
That’s a good partner right there!
This is really wholesome lol
I'm 35 years old and I was finally ready to start trying (met my soulmate, getting married, financially stable) and BOOM I'm diagnosed with cancer. I'm devestated, but you give me hope that next year I'll still be able to have a healthy baby.
Sending you so much strength and healing light and love. You're a warrior, you got this!
Bless you hon. Praying for you to pull through and keep strong.
Sending you love and support!
Rae Ann
I hope you can deliver a beautiful healthy baby someday, and I hope your cancer disappears. Stay positive and happy!
Wishing you the best
You'll realize how connected you really are once he's born and no longer in your belly... I know for me, after my son was born, I had a very empty feeling, almost lonely... it's really hard to explain.
I cried after each of mine were born because I felt empty and missed them even though they were in my arms 💕 it's such a strange feeling 💕
Yes!! He was in my arms but felt far away compared to before. Not in a sad way at all, just a weird feeling.
Yes!! Me too..when everyone was holding the baby at the hospital I had an empty feeling till I got him back
Going out for the first time without a baby or being pregnant feels SOOOOO lonely and weird!!!
This really makes me not want to get pregnant ever. Lol
I TTC for 13 years before welcoming my miracle baby.
Everything you imagine about motherhood, is a trillion times sweeter. Multiple times a day I give thanks and cry almost every night at the intense love and gratitude I feel.
You’re going to make an amazing mommy. Stare and hold at your baby, it goes by so fast.
What a beautiful comment 🥺😭💕 I am SO happy you got your sweet miracle baby
@@RawBeautyKristi Infertility will always live on the surface of my heart. I don’t take a second for granted. We stare at our child in awe, we’re probably really annoying 🤣🥰
I’m so glad YOU get the experience the amazing journey of motherhood.
I am livinggg for this motherhood content/comments. I hope the Lord has someone for me too, so that I can experience the joys of motherhood/being a wife as well. 🥰
💞
Watching your Shower had me in 😢. So precious! You should take a picture of the baby next to the oak tree every year on his birthday to see them grow together. 😍
Me: not pregnant and has no interest in having kids
Also me: oooh yessss pregnancy update!!!!
Same here lol
Im already a mom, but dont want anymore kids and i am so invested in her stoey, I literally cry every time I'm so ridiculous 😭
Yes exactly how I feel every time Kristi posts ANYTHING about her pregnancy. I'm just so incredibly happy for her and Zack that I'll devour all her preggo updates.
Creation of a human person is magical. Even if it's not your journey, watching someone else's incubation story, is mind blowing. (Especially if it's all they ever wanted)
Same! everytime she does an update video, i google "** weeks pregnant" to see how big baby is and now the algorithm thinks I'M pregnant and keeps showing me pregnancy related ads and tons of baby stuff 😂
Can we please have a Q and A with you and Zack about becoming parents etc.?
I second this!
I third this! I'm curious if they are going to try for another baby after a year or so from what I heard it's easier to get pregnant the second time. I also have pcos and have not been able to get pregnant it breaks my heart because that's what I always wanted but as I have gotten older I have realized it is what it is , I have my cats lol
Yes !!!!!!!!!!
I fifth this!
Well @RawBeautyKristi ???? What do you think? Will that video become a reality once you are feeling up to filming again?
The stretch marks I consider a badge of honor. Embrace them because they are part of your journey in life. They tell a story, especially when you thought you would never have a baby. It is truly a miracle.
You earn those stripes!
I feel the same way! I actually love mine and they remind me of what a beautiful and easy pregnancy I had 🥰
❤❤
Just found out my sister is also pregnant after years of fertility treatments. Thank god there is some light in 2020!
Just found out I’m pregnant too! Such a blessing!
Congratulations!! 🤗
Congrats!!! ❤️❤️
Omg congratulations!!! 🎉🙏🏼💕💕
Congratulations ♥️♥️, Praying over the pregnancy!!
Congrats 💚
Kristi: "I sobbed immediately"
Me: "lol that's funny"
Kristi: *sobbing on camera*
Me: *starts sobbing*
Literally 😂
I did the exact same 🤣
ME TOO!!
SO ACCURATE
SAMEEE
I love u so much for embracing the belly, the stretch marks and everything , and showing it to us , u are showing the true reality of what pregnancy is like and I’m so grateful, u are showing us that there’s nothing wrong with us for not having the Instagram baby belly
Thank you!!!! Yessss she's beautiful and perfect and I look at her and see nothing but pride and beauty and everything right in the world rn. She looks perfect first of all, I see no flaws🥺 no such thing.
Maternity cloths rock after pregnancy. I promise you that. Things don’t “snap” back by any means. The first three months are a blur of happiness and exhaustion. You will want those comfortable cloths!
Yes. I don’t really remember anything from the first couple months of baby.
This reminded me that my stepmom got really smell sensitive during pregnancy, and would break down crying if anyone farted near her😂
On the subject of crying, you really almost got me when talking about your relationship with your body over the years. I am so grateful for how genuinely deep you’re able to go in these videos, it’s so refreshing and wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us!
My belly was huge. Everyone thought I was gonna have a whopper of a baby. She barely weighed 7lbs. No matter how much you prepare, you'll never be prepared. Just gotta go with it. You'll do great and be fine. Just soak in every small tiny thing. Those moments are important.
I have 6 kids & this is so true! You'll never be fully prepared. Also I was huge and 4 of mine were in the 6lb range. Two were early and 2lbs.
I went from 134 lbs to 210lbs with my sweet little boy. And he only weighed 6lbs even! I was all water, severely swollen and had gestational diabetes like our girl here. And still, my son was only 6lbs! Nothing is ever what you expect, that’s for sure!
Same here! I had plenty of fluid and swelling but my little girl was only 5 lbs. 4 oz. Every pregnancy, woman and baby are so different; it's fascinating!
Mine was huge too! It ended up being mostly water.
@@sarahsharp8652 wow!! You are a super woman!!
Whenever I see your belly, I never think negative things. I’m always SO CONFUSED how there is a literal human in there. Women’s bodies man..
I legit cried because my husband forgot to pick me up pop tarts, during the morning sickness it was the only thing I could keep down. They aren’t even good. They taste like cardboard, and I actually cried until I threw up. 😅 hormones are no joke!
I’m an OB/Gyn L&D RN. The pains you are feeling my be your large intestines. Since you are short, your intestines, gas, and food don’t have as much room as a taller person, especially where the bends in your intestines are. The large intestine goes up your right side, across the upper abdomen, and down your left side.
I'm old, my girls are 21 24 but wow watching you brings back all those memories. I lost my mom when I was 19. Had my first child at 30. I wanted her there...but then realized she was. Bless you and your miracle. 😇💕
When you leave to give birth remember to look behind in your door one last time and take it in, because your home will never be the same again and it’s a moment you’ll remember forever I promise..
Also omg you have me crying and laughing all at the same time over here watching the clips from your baby shower! Thank you for letting us see some small pieces of it. I’m so happy for you and Zach and the little guy. You guys make my heart smile and are going to be amazing parents! We would totally be bffs in real life, just saying lol. Congrats again and I can’t wait to see the little guy and hear about what birth was like and how you 2 feel as parents. There is truly nothing like holding your baby for the first time, and you’ll feel love like you never have before.
I'm so happy for you!!! The 3D ultrasound is so cool! I wish they had those back when I was pregnant with my kids.
They were popular in Germany in the last 15 years. Now, 2021 a new law prohibits 3D and 4D scans... I am sad, I had the opportunity with my first. Now it won't be possible for my 2nd, because the fetus is not big enough yet.
I do not understand this... Seemingly an institution found out that these scans warm up the Baby and placenta while the Maschine is working/ ultra scanning.
The temperature difference is like 0,08% but this is reason enough to stop that 😢😢😢
My son is 30, and the ultrasounds were NOTHING like that then. 3D ones are like looking at an actual photograph!
I had my first 3D ultrasound this week and honestly i think they’re kinda gross lol i prefer a regular ultrasound
@@amandajones8285 Agree!! My kid is 8 now, but back when I was pregnant I remember people telling me to go get one and I clearly remember thinking ’no, thanks. I have zero intentions of spending that much to see my baby all smushed up and weird’ 🤣
@@ceciliatapioca my hospital doesn’t even ask if I want one, they just do it. I hate looking at them because their faces don’t even look normal because of the liquids and whatnot. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this 😌
“are you okay” “noOoo” lmao there is NO ONE more precious than you, kristi!!!! you and zack deserve every sweet gesture and kindness in the world
Sometimes I literally get chills seeing your pregnancy updates. I just think back to all of the years I have followed you and you always were sure you couldn’t get pregnant. It’s like a literal miracle baby. Ugh, I love it so much. Love you! 😘😘😘♥️
And I'm crying. The joy in your face when you were showing your belly at the end is palpable. I'm so so happy for you and Zach.
Dude, you crying at the baby shower clips had me crying!!! Ahhh everyone is blessed to have you in their life!!!
You are so deserving of all of the amazing thoughtful gifts your family and friends got for you!! OOHHHH I love that you shared it with us! So stunning!
@Em haha apparently they're harder to get these days!! I need to be 'well known' on multiple platforms! LAME haha Good to see you here!! Kristi is THE BEST!!! I'm so happy for her!
“I can’t even explain it to you i can’t even DESCRIBE”
Kristi the whole video: *explaining every feeling in intense detail with specific examples*
She doesn't give herself credit for her eloquence does she ❤️
Haha right! She is literally the best!! I love everything about this video and her
Your baby needs your love, warmth, and food. Everything else is “figureoutable” . Your gonna be an amazing amazing mom. 💕
Absolutely this!! ^^ I was so stressed about my daughter's arrival and making sure everything was perfect. We didn't use her (perfectly put-together) room more than a handful of times the first 6 months because she was in our room in the bassinet for a while, then the pack n play. As a breastfeeding mama I couldn't deal with all the middle of the night feedings without having her close by. All we REALLY needed those first few weeks were sleepers and onesies, a boppy/breastfeeding pillow, diapers (soooooo many diapers! Don't buy more than a pack or two of newborn size as most babies are only in that size for a super short time, if at all- my daughter was 9lb 8oz so she was in size 1 right off the bat lol! Get a lot of size 1s and 2s), diaper cream, wipes, and for me: nipple cream, breast pads and nursing bras, warm blankets, protein bars, shakes (and other easy, health-ish snacks I could stash around the house for quick access) and tons of water (breastfeeding will make you soooooo thirsty!). Try to focus more on making sure the house is clean (so much nicer to come home from the hospital to a clean house, clean sheets/bedding with all the laundry done), making sure you have at least a week's worth of groceries, and meals prepped that can be popped right into the oven or crockpot for easy, healthy meals. You will be so exhausted and obsessed with just staring at your your little guy that you won't want to think about regular stuff like that for a bit. Also, just a heads up, you are going to be wearing those maternity clothes for a lot longer than 6 more weeks (probably). Even if you drop a lot of the baby weight fast, you're going to be so reluctant to give up comfy amazing pregnancy clothes for stupid, tight regular clothes (with buttons and zippers, the horror! Lol). I STILL miss my maternity clothes (my kid's almost 4 haha). Anyway, that is my very long advice, good luck to you! I have enjoyed watching you grow so excited to become a mom, you are truly one of the most beautiful pregnant women ever and I can just tell you are already so in love with your son, it's adorable ❤️.
Yea. Love and respect is the most important aspect of a family
@@lindsayc.7572 that is really great advice. You should be spreading your advice further, your comment was a really informative x
Wow I’m not even pregnant and I’m crying and I’m like “you know she’s totally right 😭”
Ya nailed it.
TRUE!☀️😊👍🏻👶🏻
There is just nothing comfortable about having a baby or early breastfeeding AT FIRST. But hang in, and all of the discomfort will pass, and you won't even remember it! And though it was a shock for me - real time! - my childbirths weren't about ME. They were about my kids and how they wanted to come into the world - they were the stars of the show, and my job was almost to get out of the way! Wishing you every blessing on your pending adventure!
Didn’t like it. Idk what happened to me but I felt gross lol I didn’t like the feeling
My mother always said you will forget the pain... my daughter is 23, still haven’t forgotten. Waiting.
So, you probably won’t see this, BUT I’m going to post it anyways. I have PCOS and was feeling really discouraged about getting pregnant. I saw your pregnancy announcement a few months ago, and it gave me hope. And now I’m pregnant! So, thanks for the hope! And congrats on nearing the end!
dancersinger55555 congrats!!!! 💜
When I was super pregnant and couldn’t get much pee out when I felt like my bladder would explode, I’d pee in the shower. It was so much easier standing up😂 I understand how gross that sounds to some people but there is no shame when you’re pregnant. None.
There’s people that wee in the shower and then there’s liars
@@The.meadows I do 😇
😇😅 well I’m not pregnant 🤰🏻 and I can swear I prefer to pee standing same with the shower 🚿 🤫the hot water will make you want to pee I have issues with my lymph glands and for last 1 year I been drinking like crazy up too 3 litres a day and I literally have to pee every 30 mins at least 🤧😢
@@The.meadows amen
Thats how i was with my second. I was measuring 10 weeks a head the whole time and couldn't fit where the toilet was lol

Kristi: *shows belly with soft music playing*
Me: *balls eyes out*
We are all so happy and excited for you!!!! I have never wanted October (Halloween) and November (Birthday) to get over and done with so fast in my life!
I didn’t have an immediate connection with my daughter for about 2 months. I felt so guilty but I found out it’s totally normal for some people not to have an instant connection. Please know that you might be extremely emotional and overwhelmed and there’s nothing wrong with you if you don’t have that connection. Also keep an eye out for PPD
“These leggings are all that fits me right now” Did I just get a Mean Girls reference? ❤️❤️
Hahaha you know it 🤣
I knew I had heard something like that before😂
@@RawBeautyKristi I accidentally read this exactly at the same moment you said that!! What are the freaking odds.
I'm so happy for you Kristi 💜 I literally cried when you said you only have about 6 weeks left!! I can't even put into words how happy I am for you and Zack!
Much love girl 💜💜💜
I might be 2 glasses of wine deep but 37:00 to 40:30 is literally the most motivational shit I've ever heard. Kristi you're the best.
Could you possibly do a pregnancy update with zack? I’d love to hear his point of view during this! I love hearing about your pregnancy ❤️
Yes I would also and what he’s been through during all of this and what’s changed the most for him
yesssss this!!
Dumbest reasons I cried while pregnant:
1: I burned a frozen pizza.
2: I had to pee.
Hahaha YES!! mine were:
1. Hubby took me to breakfast, but by the time we got there, they were serving lunch. I cried to my waitress because *all I wanted was some damn pancakes* and she had ruined my life
2. I had to remove my wedding band because it was making my finger fall asleep, and I just knew I was the *worst wife ever*
3. My cat didn't like the brand of canned food I brought home, and I was a *failure* at being a cat parent. (pretty sure he was _actually_ avoiding me cause I was a crazy ass human at that point lol) The things we suffer for our kids 😁
I literally cried in a restaurant because they were out of baked potatoes. I COULD NOT deal.
@@jenniferfranich1275 that’s reminds me of #3 I wanted mash potatoes from KFC and chicken from Bojangles.
@@luqicharmz oh girl I know about that lol.. I once wanted McDonald's fries and Chick fil a nuggets.. my husband was so irritated lmaooooo
Food was barely warm by the time we got home lmao
I cried because my partner bought the wrong brand white powdered donuts 🤣
Hi Kristi!! My best friend is in ACTIVE labor right now, 37 weeks. Her and I have been huge fans of you for a while and she had fertility issues too. If You could respond something for me to send to her she would be sooo ecstatic. We love you! ♥️♥️
Omg this is so so so exciting!!! HUGE congratulations to her and her sweet baby! She’s got this! She’s strong, powerful, incredible and will do absolutely amazing! 😭💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@RawBeautyKristi thank you sooo much!!! ♥️♥️♥️
@@RawBeautyKristi You're so awesome for responding!
Congrats and good luck to your friend!!! Xx
@@RawBeautyKristi I just love that you responded for her 😭 im crying but maybe its the hormones
I swear, seeing your prego belly is truly such a beautiful thing. I cry every time. Lol. I can't help it. That baby, this pregnancy, is such a miracle and ultimately a huge inspiration. I'm so ready to see him!
I almost cried when you were talking about your stomach and the way it looks 😭 I turned 38 weeks today and its my biggest insecurity because my stomach doesn’t look like a “regular” pregnant belly 🤰🏼 It was like you were giving me that pep talk telling me to just stop caring! 😭❤️
I bet it's beautiful. You're growing a whole human! Even if you don't feel it that is a beautiful thing. And I know it can get you down but you and baby's health is so much more important than how you look and anyone who judges you or passes remarks can fuck right off.
Ugh everytime Kristi cries I cry 😭 God love ya I CANNOT wait til that insanely precious baby boy gets here!!! Talk about feeling your whole heart bursting with love & pure insane happiness. Literally nothing like it & I wish every woman could feel it / have it. Normally I get the baby blues watching strangers (tho I feel like I know you thanks to years of following your channels) I didn’t have a partner through my pregnancy or delivery to share it with so it’s bittersweet to see others having experiences I didn’t & it makes me want another but I cannot help but burst into tears with happiness watching every single update from you!!!! Praying for a quick safe delivery of baby !!!!
I discovered your channel through the "telling my husband I'm pregnant video". I've never been more happy and excited for a pregnancy 😁😁 The baby clothes haul absolutely melted my heart..."like buttons on his overalls for when he's out picking carrots" so wholesome. All the best to you and your family ❤👪💕
I'm 26 weeks and the part where your husband says "are you okay?" And you say no... I lost it. All the tears 😭 You are absolutely gorgeous while pregnant and I haven't ever been more happy for a pregnant youtuber in my entire life. I love seeing this journey!
Im not pregnant, and i sobbed
I love this. Especially when you talked about how you'll be remembered and loved by people. I vividly remember being a child, snuggled up to my mom, and her talking about losing weight. I was *heartbroken*. I never saw my mother as fat, I only saw her as something that was soft and warm and comforting when I hugged her. The thought of losing that part of her was too much for my little 6-year-old brain. People never care as much as we think they do.
😭😭😭This is so cute
I literally had the same experience with my dad when i was around the same age; he was fairly big but when my mum said to him about losing weight I said I didn’t want him to bc I couldn’t cuddle up to his belly when i was tired or sad, i think he waited a few more years to lose it, kids are cute❤️
Same I remember my mom talking about her weight and I thought (I was maybe 5 or 6) but but you’re so cuddly and warm and PERFECT. 😍
I love how genuine and honest you are I have never heard a mom talk about this stuff
Girl, you need arms, breasts, and diapers. That is all a baby needs. Everything else is convenience items. You are ready. You got this. Try not to stress out on it too much. You got love, so much love, and your baby will be just fine.
Wipes as well
Clothes and blankets help too
what you said
I'M ACTUALLY CRYING THAT HES SMILING IN THE ULTRASOUND LITERALLY YOU DESERVE EVERY OUNCE OF THIS AND I AM SO FUQ FRICKIN HAPPY FOR YOU OKAY, AWWWWH. xoxo
"I'm going to tell you something that I didn't learn until I became a father. You don't just love your children. You fall in love with them." - Frasier
My favorite show
I'm new to your channel and I'm loving, loving, loving all of you lol. This video spoke to me so much! I'm a 48 year old not by choice single mom to man children that are 19 and almost 21. My husband, their dad passed away in 2007 from cancer and the boys were very young. In that my bond with my boys is soooo strong and your bond with your son is going to be so strong because of your experiences. I take great pride in my stretch marks and gray hair, I've earned them. It's kinda my badge of honor in a way. You were meant to be this precious sweet souls mommy, enjoy every second-it really does go so fast!
I really hope she makes a “I’m in labor” video and a labor vlog 🥺
My biggest lesson in life was when I was 16 and got in a car wreck. I was flown to the top trauma center in the US. The top doctors in the US told me i would be in a wheelchair, wouldn't have kids,, would be in the hospital for at least 9 months. Well I walked out of the hospital in a week. 23 years later I still don't use a wheel chair and I have 4 beautiful daughters that my body carried. That taught me that I was not in control and that no other human was in control
Wow, this pregnancy is a wonderful time for you to reconnect and trust your body again. I’m so happy for you! X Also I think one of the best things we can show our kids is how to love ourselves no matter what so it’s lovely to see your working through and letting go of insecurities as I am aswell. Sending love 💓
I genuinely thought Braxton Hicks was the name of a country singer I had never heard before.
It would be so wonderful to have Zack at some small point in your next update. I wanna know how he’s doing? Is he as anxious as you are, etc Maybe we can suggest questions? Thank you so much for sharing 🌸🌸
I just love love this comment section. Everyone is so kind and thoughtful.
What a great idea 🥰 !!!!!!
OK BUT HE IS LITERALLY THE CUTEST THING EVER AND HES NOT EVEN BORN.....🥰🤧😍🥺
“Lopsided as hell” 😂😂🥰 Girl, I love your transparency about your body changes. I guarantee you’re helping other people feel even just a smidge more accepting of their own changes. 😉💛💛
Oh my gosh when you cried I bawled. You are the sweetest honestly I just want to be your best friend 😭
I've got 3 kids and what blows my mind everytime is that you know your having a baby and you plan and dream about it for months yet when that baby is placed on your belly it blows your mind everytime that you made this perfect human
I love these videos so much, I feel like my best friend is pregnant 😂
Same!
Same
Sameeee hi ladies
This is the perfect way to describe it!!
"Who makes people quilts?" 😭😭😭 you are just the fricken cutest!!!
My best friend from highschool/college made my husband and I a quilt for our wedding gift. It is the MOST amazing gift. I love her dearly for it.
It’s so interesting how we all experience different emotions and feelings of connection. With my first kiddo I didn’t feel that “omg you are the love of my life” right away. It was more an overwhelming sense of responsibility and protectiveness. With my second it was more instant but I think it was because I already knew I was capable of taking care of a tiny human.
I’m so excited for you, I got to watch this with my 6 week old squish sleeping next to me. I can’t wait until you can snuggle your own baby!
These videos mean so much to me. We've struggled to get pregnant and I'd been told by everyone that it's possible it might not happen. However just a month ago I found out I was pregnant. It helps to hear someone else share their fears and the realistic things that happen during a pregnancy. I thought I was honestly being punk'd when I saw the positive pregnancy test. I have honestly never been more scared and more excited in my entire life and I think my husband is about the same right now. I'm surrounded by people at my work that are mothers already that say stupid things like, "Oh well if you have enough willpower you won't get morning sick and actually throw up." It's been absolutely rough the last few weeks with the morning sickness and I'm waiting to go to my first appointment. I'm scared it will be an ectopic pregnancy or something else will be horribly wrong and there won't be a baby. These videos provide me with this sweet little nugget of hope and I can't even begin to thank you for doing these and being so honest. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Congratulations!! So happy for u
Congrats! Positive thoughts and saltine crackers help with sickness 👍❤️🙏
Congratulations! We have been trying for 21 years. Applied to be foster parents. HAPPY pregnancy!
My thoughts are with you ❤️❤️
Best wishes and congrats!! Hope you heard a heartbeat 💜
My sister is a week away from her due date. She was laughing while she was talking to us and peed on herself and threw up at the same time. Towards the end of my pregnancy I was constantly peeing on myself after laughing or coughing so I feel your pain lmao
I remember peeing while laughing with my husband at the end of my pregnancy. I suddenly ran to the bathroom and my husband followed. Then I started sobbing because I was embarrassed. 😂 Quickest switch of emotions ever 😂
i don’t mean to laugh but omg 😂 😆
“Are you okay?”
“NOO.”
This is my pregnancy mood too.
I don’t know you & you don’t know me but I just want to say how genuinely happy I am for you! Such an emotional journey and so exciting! 🖤🖤🖤
I really don't invest in social influencer's lives, but her I am sobbing with her over her baby shower, and her baby. I am so so so so happy for you both, you're going to be fabulous parents, and his social circle and family is going to be the strongest and most loving circle of them all. Thank you for sharing this with us, and know we are so grateful to see your journey!
Anyone else feel like Kristi took us to church when she was talking about love and acceptance of her body?! Preach sister 🙌
i’m not pregnant, but your talk at the end about always expecting the worst, with certainty, and being proven wrong and everything was so awesome and is actually similar to something my therapist would say to me. i don’t know how to articulate why it was so good to hear you say, but that was probably my favorite part of your video besides your beautiful baby shower! i’m so happy for you!
“Are you okay?” “Nooo!” 😭 I can’t, you’re precious. So happy you’re happy and everything is doing well. What a sweet gesture.
The one where zack and kristi have a baby!!! OH MY GOSH I CANT
RIGHT?!?! SAME!!! I died and SOBBED
You have some special friends!
i’m recently pregnant and we had also thought we wouldn’t be able to conceive. since I found out i’ve constantly worried about it not really happening. I saw the positive test and was like “oh no, it’s not real. it’s something else.” or “it’s ectopic” or that i’d lose it. i’m 9 weeks tomorrow, and so far there is a baby in my uterus with a heartbeat. I really appreciated you talking about those early feelings and the worrying because it’s what i’m going through right now, but maybe soon i’ll be in your shoes and be saying how it was just my anxiety and it’s all for real.
excited for both of our future mom endeavors ❤️ thanks girly
Congratulations. Hang in there. All of us new moms worried about everything the first pregnancy. Its pretty normal. Just try to enjoy it and remind yourself to breathe. ❤❤
Congratulations x
I don’t know if you’re into religion or anything, but I’d love to pray for you and your little one if you’re comfortable with that ❤️ I’m wishing the best for you and baby
Good luck momma I’ll pray everything goes well and you have a healthy pregnancy and baby
so much love for you, i hope everything goes well ❤️
Your tummy has dropped really low. That’s usually a sign baby has dropped into position and ready to come. Make sure you are ready in case he’s going to make an early appearance. So happy for you both.
I was thinking the same thing.
He’s coming sooner than later!
Just for devil's advocate my baby dropped a month and a half before he came and he was two weeks late lol, so she could still have time 😊
@@daniellenooan6364 that’s true she could still go over, but that belly is very very low, not just a bit low a lot.
@@odettesummers8229 I get that lol mine dropped over the weekend and I started feeling serious pressure, I had just seen my OB the Thursday before, and on Monday she moved my due date up from New years eve to the 20th of December (he still had to be induced on Jan. 10. Because he was apparently quite comfy 🤣) My point is looks can be totally deceiving lol.
I’m crying watching this . The thankfulness is what does it for me
I cried because I forgot to give a coupon at the grocery store. I asked if they could input it after I had paid and they kindly said no. I got in my car and cried a river. Over a $1 coupon. Yep I was a crier while pregnant
I cried over donuts the other day. I’m a pregnant mess lol
39 weeks here! Getting excited and keeping track of everything goes by so so so fast
36 weeks tomorrow 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I hope you and your baby are very happy and healthy and dont forget to have a great blessed day 😊
19 week here! Still so much time to go. 😊
Congrats! Good luck and I hope you have a really good labour experience! :) xx
I was 39 weeks this week a year ago. The anxiety was real!!! And excitement!!! 😭 enjoy it mama!!
I want you to know that breastfeeding is so hard at first and that's perfectly normal! Too many moms give up breastfeeding bc it looks a helluva lot easier than it actually is. No doctor or nurse or instagram mom ever prepared me for the discomfort and pain and weariness and worries that come with breastfeed. If it's hard for you at first too, then just keep in mind that it's normal and you're likely not doing anything wrong as long as little bub is growing!
I breastfed for 14 months with my daughter and 22months with my son. I still miss it and they are 27 and 22 now. Stick with it. You won’t regret it!
Or is it talked about that some woman have inverted nipples. Didn’t know that was a thing... but the baby will break the bands and breastfeeding comes naturally. That’s why God gave us breast- to feed our offspring. My son came out looking for a boob that was his third word. Boobies.
Relate to this 1000%!!! No one ever told me about how hard & painful breastfeeding was going to be! Boy was I in for a surprise! My son had trouble latching & I would have tears rolling down my face but I was determined I was going to breastfeed him...& I did! He & I finally figured it out & the pain went away and I breastfeed him until he was 11 months. 😊
This!! Yes! The first week is excruciating pain from raw nipples.
KiraiSiren that’s awful! I’m sorry that happened to you. Yes, food is food. If this ever happens again, you can pump and start lactating again.
wow.... WOW KRISTI!!!! I fee like you just announced your pregnancy last week. now you are only what... FIVE WEEKS AWAY????? So unbelievably happy for you and your little family
"Each mark signifies the strength my body used to create you. Each mark demonstrates the miracle that you are. Each mark reminds me just how Lucky I am to have you. They may not be pretty. But they mine. & because I have them I have you"
This is beautiful!
the fact that people disliked this video is insane. like this is the most beautiful wholesome video on the internet. I love it. I wanna like this video 1000 times
Awww Kristi I can hear you trying to catch your breath while you talk. I remember that feeling so well. That was the most tiring thing about the third trimester. Not breathing easily makes you tired...
