Epidemic Sound - Розваги
Girl... you were at a friend's birthday party this weekend at the bowling alley without masks, just had Thanksgiving with your family from different households without masks, hosted your SIL's bridal shower without masks, and continuously get facials and other salon services as per usual. Don't act like you're locked up in your house because everything that you chose share shows that you're living life as if there is no pandemic.
Yes exactly. It’s almost like it’s just talking points because her actions do not fit her words.
@@lindan779 then .... simply don’t watch.
@@lindan779 grow up
@@lindan779 that’s so messed up and toxic. You have too much time on your hands.
@@lindan779 I’m sorry I must be talking to a child.
I feel for you but as a nurse who held a strangers hand as they take their last breath and couldn’t have their loving family with them, holding up phone as my patients FaceTime their family to say their final goodbyes kind makes me i bit tone deaf to your situation. But to each their own. Stay strong Megs you can get through this horrible time we are all in.
+1 for being tone deaf, same.
Thank you for everything. You are incredibly strong ❤️
Thank you for everything you do
No reason they shouldn’t have had family there. Also, this virus has over a 99% survival rate.
💔😔😢 Thank you for everything you’re doing .
The “hand flapping” may be something called stimming. Stimming is basically a self regulatory behavior. Kind of like pacing or bouncing a leg when nervous. Stimming is common in ASD, specially with repetitive hand movements, but not necessarily indicative. Maybe chart when he does it most and see if there’s a pattern and it might be worth mentioning to a pediatrician. For example, if it is happening during mealtimes it might be a way he’s expressing/regulating how excited he is. If it’s random and not linked to certain moods/events it may just be random gestures. I’m an SLP and worked with peds!
When our oldest was a baby (10 yrs ago) I started to become aware of other babies flapping their hands. at church or get togethers and most of the time it startled our son when they sat next to him so I started looking into what and why this was happening and autism popped up. The same children were given extremely processed foods and juice boxes all day long as babies. So I wondered if that mimicked signs of autism. Everyone is in 4th grade now and beyond thriving.... just kinda went with my theory that food does affect you no matter what age.
I didn’t get to have my full wedding during the pandemic. Just 20 people in the church. Masks. No nice pictures. No honeymoon. ..and now I’m pregnant and have not had my husband at any appointments. Looking like I won’t have a baby shower now either. Count your blessings girl.
So sorry, maybe you can have a drive through baby shower.
Got married nobody there just me and my husband and the officiary lol. Also got pregnant and couldn’t have anyone there for all of it and for the miscarriage as well. Ugh covid.
My husband has been in the military for 15 years. I’ve had a baby totally alone with no family. While my husband was on a satellite phone on the roof of a mud hut talking to me. Trying to keep signal to hear his daughter be born. She is allowed to have her feelings and to feel sad during what is going on right now.
@@courtneyfink5880 oh my gosh I’m so sorry!
Same. I’m 20 weeks with our rainbow baby and my husband hasn’t been allowed to any of my appointments
I know it’s hard staying inside and have your life all messed up but let’s remember how blessed we are that we have a house,we are not in the hospital and we have our loved ones around. People are really suffering it’s hard times, hope life get normal soon
I understand completely that this pandemic has taken a toll on not just you but everyone but it’s hard to sympathize with your concerns about Covid and anxiety especially when you’re going out, having friends over and no I’m not “attacking” or spreading “hate” towards you. Not my intention at all, it’s just hard to take you seriously some times.
I totally agree. Her life hasn’t changed much at all due to the pandemic
They went to a bowling birthday party and on her friends post, you can see how packed the bowling place was. I would never right now. I live in NJ and it’s soooo bad here
@@xOsmoochiesOx I live in NJ too and have been trying to stay home even more recently due to the spike. Stay safe!
@@TheParkJimin thank you so much!! You too! Hang in there!!
@@xOsmoochiesOx I'm in NJ too and surprised a bowling alley was even open at this point.
Hey Meg, maybe you should reconsider adding this video. There are people who are watching you who are first responders, ICU nurses, who lost their jobs due to pandemic, gave birth without their husband, haven’t seen their family in months etc. You see your family, go to places, throw a bridal shower, go for photo shoots, shopping etc... I think you should get some perspective and not complain publicly about your situation during the pandemic.
I get where u are coming from.
But I think its ok to say how you are feeling. Even if others have it worse.
Maybe Meg just needs to count her blessings but I think its ok for her to say how she's feeling.
Happy holidays ❤
Her actions on Instagram do not support the complaints she is talking about on her video.
@@emmalu1984 of course, everyone can feel sad but it’s different to vent to your husband and to vent to half a million of people. Because many of them have it much much worse and it’s good to consider that. Hence, my advise is to reconsider this video. I’m not a hater, it just stroke the wrong cord.
This is not your channel and suggesting her to take down her video is a little extreme don’t you think? Coming from someone who has nothing to do with her channel..and using the pandemic as an excuse to be nasty is sickening
I think it’s perfectly okay for her to vent, it’s her opinion and she’s allowed to share it.
I’m a avid supporter of Meg but this one got me a little. You are still going out doing things like we aren’t in a pandemic so I am having a hard time understanding the complaining.
I agree!😔 I’ve followed her for 10 years and just recently unfollowed on Instagram because of her complaining of covid rules yet not even following them, the mlm she joined and also the fact she posted things that other Trump supporters were posting 😔 I just can’t support through all of that
@@jjayyrose Mines just the covid thing. I won’t hate on her for her political beliefs, that is her choice.
@@melwise2007 trump isn’t a political belief , he’s a monster. I don’t care who you are if you support him you are trash. Perioddd
@@jjayyrose Sorry you feel that way. I for one do not believe people are trash based on who they voted for and my original comment had nothing to do with politics.
@@melwise2007 White privilege doesn’t need to worry about who someone voted for, that’s why you don’t care
girl being a SAHM to two toddlers and 28wks pregnant i’m ALWAYS HOME.
I think we are all sick of this pandemic and the fact that the numbers aren’t getting better at all, But how is it so bad for you if you are still going out without masks on, seeing friends and family, etc.? Count your blessings. I understand the frustration even with being able to go to some places, but by talking about it as if you were directly affected and then share what you do, you could really offend some people.
Just a bit of advice, you say your anxiety is worse and that you are using oils. Yet if that still isn’t helping you need to get some medication to help.
Not trying to judge it just seems like your pining all your hopes that the oils will help. Other natural options are going for a walk or exercising. They’d do wonders for your mental health.
Also everyone is struggling right now but please don’t complain about new rules coming in when you haven’t followed any previous rules by going to parties and mixing with other households putting more people at risk.
You are lucky to have a job where you choose your own hours and can work from home. Maybe put more focus into work and your son to distract you from your anxiety until you decide how best to manage it
I don’t think she needs to run to meds. Maybe start talking to a counselor but not meds. I agree with the everyone not putting in the work to calm the virus but we can only take care of our household and pray for the rest.
Anyone whom has a job at this point is very blessed, yes indeed.
Before getting married she was on meds, going to a therapist, reading all kinds of self-help books, plus on birth control for several years and still complained about anxiety. Only Meg can help Meg. That being said, I love your comment, you're so right with everything you said.
@@darlamaher4879 thank you! I agree only she can help herself. It’s just frustrating to watch someone complain that their anxiety etc is worse than ever and they are using natural methods. If that still isn’t working it’s time to look for another solution.
My social anxiety has worsened due to the pandemic. Pushing myself to leave the house and be in a social setting is what I depend on so my anxiety doesn’t get bad. Now I feel like I’m losing the progress I’ve made. I’m having trouble doing the small things I used to be able to do. It’s depressing being home all the time. At first it was fine but 8-9 months into it I’m now worrying where my mental health is going to be the longer this all continues.
I feel the same way too and everyone I talk to also feels the same way. More and more people becoming depressed because of this wait that we’re all in for it to be over. But then it’s like will it be over and you hear more sad news that makes you more anxious. You can’t vacation anywhere without covid testing and masks and things being closed or constricted. It really is suffocating and I can see where your coming from.
I always count my blessing. No matter how hard it is.. still do. Have to have positivity because nothing good comes from feeling down or sorry for yourself. My husbands cousin’s daughter died at 3years old of cancer she had no chance at a life we all do let’s make the best out of it as much as we can because there’s always someone that has it a lot harder.
Sadly she doesn’t know what a tough life is like or had to ever struggle, she was given everything on a silver platter, she got her dream job. Got married had a expensive wedding/honeymoon she gets everything she wants and still nags. She’s is the most ungrateful person ever.
Amen 🙏🏻
my sons newborn shoot photos are my favorite pictures in the world! they are definitely very expensive but worth every single penny, I will cherish those photos forever!
The way Kaden lays down and puts his head on you melts my heart ! My son is now 8 and I miss the baby cuddles !
I feel that, I feel that this pandemic has got a lot of us worried, depressed and feeling alone in some way. ☹️ but I’m hoping for a great and joyful holiday season. Hoping to see vlogcember. I’ve been watching for years and I look forward to it every year. 💕
Nobody can escape anxiety, everyone has it, it’s all about how you deal with it.....and FYI things will never go back to normal, the world has shifted, just gotta not think about it though, rise above it girl❤️ Best of luck!
Keep a eye on the hand movements it call hand flapping. My daughter had that and she was diagnose with autism. Oh i pray he doesn't have autism. Please tell your doctor about the hand flapping.
I noticed he is doing it a lot. Was thinking the same. But wasn't sure if kids his age were doing it is related to autism.
I’ve always wondered that with his hand movements!
I work in a pediatrician's office and Kaden's frequent hand flapping at his age is concerning as it could be indicative of ASD
Ive wondered this for a while too. My son is on the spectrum and did that all the time. Still does occasionally
Yes. I’ve been wanting to comment that for months but didn’t think it was my place but since she mentioned it. My 2 cousins and my friends son did the hand flapping and they’ve all been diagnosed with autism unfortunately
We had to cancel our wedding, bridal shower, didn’t get a baby shower and now facing giving birth alone except for a small window when he can come in towards the end...plus it’ll be a while before my mom can see my baby because she’s a nurse and working in-person every day. But regardless, I’m so incredibly thankful my family is healthy, that my husband and I both still have jobs and that our baby is healthy and growing well. It sucks being stuck in a small apt in the city and not seeing a soul for many months, but I do what I need to do to stay safe and keep others safe. Hang in there 🙏🏻
This is so sweet. And thank you for your mother and what she does❤
I got Covid and lost my baby due to not being able to work from home. I was paranoid and only went to work. I love and respect you a lot, but if you can’t follow the rules why are you complaining? It’s sad people don’t realize how serious this is bc you haven’t lost anything from Covid..
Again I have been following you since your high school days but cmon... be more socially aware people are losing family members over FT calls, jobs to support their families while you get to work from home. I don’t want to compare problems bc your mental health is extremely important so you definitely seek help. Please.❤️
I’ve lost loved ones from pneumonia and the flu...are you going to mask up and stay home when it’s flu season and people with comorbidities are dying from pneumonia (in addition to the comorbidities -old age, cancer, etc)?? I’m guessing you didn’t last flu season or the year before that.
@@ashandblake Also Ashley, if I was told to do so by authorities to help save lives then, yeah I would have. I’m not selfish.
Can’t live our lives in fear. We’ve had to deal with viruses, sickness, disease and suffering since the beginning of time. We don’t collapse economies and ruin livelihoods over it.
@@kelly_villalobos I don’t see any economies or livelihoods collapsing besides maybe your bank account and social life??
@@kelly_villalobos also if that was the can’t not living in fear why is there claimed anxiety about it but nothing being done to help it. Next.
Don’t hesitate to be on medication because of weight gain. I remember that was a main concern before and it totally makes sense nobody wants to gain weight. Over the summer I started an anti-anxiety and depression medication that doesn’t have so much to a weight gain effect. Maybe talk to your dr about trying something with less side effects. Your mental health is so important I hate seeing others suffer like I did. I live in Alaska and our days are almost 3 hrs of sunlight right now and it’s rough but you just got to find what works for you.
❤️
I’m taking trintellix and Prozac, been on both for about a year and I’ve actually lost 10 lbs since I started
I’m on Lexapro and I’ve gained weight prior to commencing it so I can’t comment if I’ll gain or lose more but honestly not losing my damn mind is my top priority right now. It’s certainly needed. I think once I start to feel more at ease I’ll have more energy to work out and get healthier
@@sophiaharper723 I agree with you 100% plus everyone’s body reacts differently to meds, but the main thing is to take care of ourselves, mentally and physically ❤️ wish you the best
@@alyxm1258 I agree and thank you so much! Wishing you all the best too 🤍
Yes! I went on anti depressants two years ago and mins you I have gained 20 lbs but I’ve never been happier!! The weight gain was such a small downfall of the medication, it has helped me in so many ways!
Thank you for sharing your struggles. Needed that reassurance that a lot of people are going through it bc of this pandemic. Also when Kaden does that with his arms makes me laugh, he’s literally adorable. ❤️❤️
You are so brave to share your struggles! My family left childhood home of 25 years but the memories don't leave just because the house does. ❤
I understand we all would like to go back to somewhat of a “normal life” but that’s just not going to happen anytime soon. Especially when people are still having unnecessary get togethers and outings. Yes, your sis in law shower was unnecessary and so is your son’s b day party. I love you so I am not in any way bashing you, it’s just the truth girl. We should just be thankful for our health because the people that are battling Covid and the health workers risking their health everyday, the last thing on their minds is that we can’t go out to eat. Staying in while being healthy isn’t the end of the world even if you battle with anxiety and depression.
Yep... didn’t even have thanksgiving this year...
@@expressiions same here girl we always go back home for the holidays and this year we had no get togethers
I’ve been living a normal life down here in the south. Things haven’t changed or worsened since fully opening. My kids are happy and healthy in school. No Mask. We work we always have and never stopped.
@@ashres10 ew and it’s people like you why we will never get out of this pandemic. Idk why you have to bring up you live in the south ? Like ok that’s relevant why 😂 I live in the south also and yup it’s full of people like you with that mentality, but whatever until it hits you and your loved ones you will learn.
@@cocinaconandrea508 bc we aren’t miserable running from a virus with a 99 percent survival. You’re living in fear for what? The virus isn’t going anywhere period. Rem 14 days to flatten the curve?
I feel the same way as you about the pandemic. I live in NJ too. Praying we get through this winter and hoping for a better spring.
Yay to vlogcember from my favorite UA-camr!!! Hope u had a great Thanksgiving!!!💕💕💕
Oh man I feel your struggles! I've been going through the same things and I have bad cabin fever in the winter. I know this winter is going to be especially hard! I hope you feel better soon!
Newborn shoots are very expensive, with both of our kiddos we just used cute blankets as our backdrop and some of their first toys as props.
I love the fall and winter months especially overcast days. Dread spring and summer with the burning sun, heat and humidity. I feel that those who need to always be running here and there and this need to be with other people don't have inner peace and need the distraction from themselves. In other words they lack self love. I am my own best friend and I don't need others to define who I am.
I totally get what you’re saying and agree.
Completely agree and I feel the same as you
You are so right
Kaden is getting so big...but is he not just the cutest!!!! You are such a caring,loving mama❤
I think so too!! Just the sweetest!
Yay!!!! I’m so happy you posted. I love your videos Meg. Your family is so beautiful❤️ I seriously love you guys and will always be a supporter of yours.
Meg do you think you can do a video on which oils help with your anxiety and how you use them??
Why do you roll your eyes when you mention bella? Why don’t people catch on the little things like this, “ I’m in bellas “room”which is now the storage/office space. Now that she’s closer I wonder how things will be.
LOL are you being serious?
@@AtousaUnrated cant you tell when she talks about bella ? She is happy that little girl doesn't live there, hence why she made zero effort to move with Anthony to cali
@@AtousaUnrated You must be new! Look up Guru mama on UA-cam!
i am soo sorry i didnt know you guys were best friends with her or knew her so well that you knew every detail of her life with Anthony and Bella... get a grip
@@AtousaUnrated You act like we make stuff up, she has said these things herself. I can recall a lot of stuff! Hence why I said you guys don’t catch on to the little things. I feel bad for that child but Bella is growing and one day she will have a lot of questions and even resentment towards her own father and step mommy. Get a clue
Happy holidays everyone 🥰
Happy Holidays❤
Kaden looked so cute! I know the pics will be adorable! So glad to hear Bella will be moving closer! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Girl I here I struggle with anxiety, depression and blood pressure. I’m on meds and feel much more myself . Understand being home, single mom who has been working remotely for 10 months and virtually learning with my daughter. You aren’t alone in your struggle and what your feeling. Here for ya girl.
Meg. I’ve been on lexapro for anxiety for a year now. Only 5mg. My anxiety made me never leave the house. This medicine has been amazing. I’ve not gained weight ever. I do eat healthy and workout. It might be worth it ?? Have you tried it ?
Love your vlogs ❤️ thanks for continuing to make vlogs for us! Xx
all of you listing your struggles and why Meg should just be happy -- just because your struggles are different doesn’t mean hers aren’t valid 🗣
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!
Kaden and his white is the cutest💙always glad when you upload videos the trees behind you are gorgeous!I do already suffer from anxiety and depression since I lost my Dadddy(Daddy's girl,he was my best friend)and my best friend of 34 years shortly after,wearing the masks while I do understand why we need to wear them but I can't breath,makes my head hurt,my throat hurt(when I take it off,I feel sick)with a lot of anxiety wearing it)I feel like this is our new normal,praying for you Meg and our world 🌎 🙏🏻love ya💖💖💖
You can still set up your own tripod and use a timer clicker, when you have bella
I agree Meg, I can’t wait for things to be just even somewhat normal again! And like you said, you are not alone on this 💕 thank you for another vlog, your videos are always so enjoyable to watch for me and they most definitely help get my mind off things.
Did you film thanksgiving? I love watching thanksgiving vlogs. I'm from the UK and we don't have a holiday like thanksgiving x
Thanks for opening up about your anxiety, I totally understand! ❤️ grateful journaling helps, guided meditation on headspace and yoga helps me.
Awe such a cute photo shoot! LOVE YOUR NAILS in the video!!!!
It's so lovely to see you being a wonderful Momma. I've been around since the pink/purple room days.
Thanks for sharing your life with us.
You're doing a great job, Meg! I feel like a proud big sister ♥
I love your vlogs! Really nice to see the real life moments of you with Kaden and the realness of how its been hard to stay home and deal with this pandemic. The music and the clip of you putting Kaden to bed made me tear up. Those are such special moments. ♡
Newborn photos are SO expensive😬 totally get it. And I’m sure price varies where you live. I booked ours right when I got pregnant with baby #2 so we had the whole pregnancy to save up for it!
I cannot wait to watch all the Christmas vlogs with Bella and the family together!
Keep your head up Meg, so many of us are feeling the anxiety and stress this year has bought and it's totally normal to feel those emotions ❤️ xx
Awe I miss you videos so much. Hoping things get better for you Meg, sending love n hugs💕
I loved how you styled the photo shoot! Maybe you could do a photo shoot at home with just you Anthony and Bella... it could be cute to have them framed next to each other and she would probably feel special. :)
Kaden is a blessing and has so many strengths. Meg I would encourage you to speak to your child's pediatrician about any questions or concerns you have with his growth, development, or behaviors. There could be a few different reasons for his stimming (repetitive movements) and there are qualified trained professionals that can complete and assessment on him (early childhood screenings can be done as early as 2mos). There are two useful tools called Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE2) that can be completed by primary caregivers, physicians, teachers, family service worker/educator etc. But it is important to note that the screening questionnaire should only be scored and interpreted by individuals trained to know what the outcomes indicate and they will take the additional steps next (specifically making a referral for additional testing by certified developmental specialist) to assist the caregiver and child . Also you can reach out to local nonprofits, health department and children's hospital etc. they typically have home based and out-patients services were you can have your son screened, tested, and they can answer your questions and provide you with developmental play activities if no further services are needed (ex. physical or occupational therapy).
As far as that pandemic is concerned most city or states that have shelter in place orders, curfews, or shutdowns is because there is an increase in the Covid-19 cases and/or they have limited hospital beds and they are trying to prevent increased hospitalizations and deaths. I know people that have complained about the shutdowns, yet they have continued to gather and travel with groups of people outside of their household. I was told I had a false negative Covid-19 test back in April when I was still stick from March (and I was eventually found out that two of my colleagues had Covid-19 and the leadership only told me and others because they believe they had infected us) and advocated for myself to be tested since I worked at a school and I was still sick after 14 day quarantine... I lost my job, and several months later I had issues with walking, and I had to have spine surgery. Although there are things that I could be upset about I choose to be thankful and to dwell on my blessings. I am thankful for my relationship with G-d because He has brought me through several difficult situations this year, I am grateful to be alive, my physical therapist is amazing and she is helping me get stronger daily, and though my dreams/goals are delayed, I know each day that I am alive and well I'm able to inch closer to achieving them. I will extend grace and continue to pray for each individual whether I agree with their behavior/stance regarding the pandemic, because I know but for the grace of G-d, there go I!
Can't wait for any effort of Vlogcember! Like, however much you can handle, is great. Just love to see you and all the christmas spirit, even if every day is just staying in thanks to covid. Vlogcember brings good memories no matter what. I love looking back on the past years too
I completely feel you Meg I literally had a mentally break down tear up and everything because of the pandemic it was getting better and then all of a sudden we are about to shut down agian and I just could not handle it hang in there thanks for sharing how you feel means a lot! ❤️
Can’t wait for Vlogcember 🎄
Me2 hopefully she does vlogs
You’ll be waiting all season.
Hey Meg! I understand you I also suffer from anxiety. Take it easy and remember is okay sometimes to not feel okay. You got this girl! Sending positive vibes your way❤🙏
Can you do a video on the bleach and toner you use on your hair I would love a update
Count the good parts in your life... forget the rest or what is going on in the world. Make a list of things you are thankful for today and grip onto those!
Kaden is so precious and you and Anthony are such great parents. Kaden and Bella are blessed 😊❤️
Have you tried a sad light ( seasonal affected disorder). You can buy this online and in some countries prescribed light therapy by your doctor. It’s a special light which you can use at a short time every day which mimics the sun rays and really helps people who suffer from the winter blues.
My youngest girl her 1st birthday and my eldests 3rd birthday were both in April, we had gone into full lockdown on 23rd March here in UK so we didnt get to go anywhere or see anyone for their birthdays I so hope things are more relaxed to at least have a small party with family this April coming 😔
I'm 22 weeks pregnant and have been working on my registry! I've been looking at high chairs.. do you like the one you have? Does it fold up small? We have a small house right now and don't have a lot of room so I just was wondering if it is slim and folds up nicely?
Good to see you Megan honey. Missed you. Thanks for the updates. So many of us are feeling completely overwhelmed with everything. It's all ok. You are doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work sweetheart 🌷💕🤗
Only you can help yourself. Only you can go sign up for therapy, medication, or whatever you need. Remember though the longer you suffer so does your family. You have a kid so if you’re not feeling yourself try something. There is nothing wrong with medication there’s a lot of drugs that don’t cause weight gain. The weight gain is mainly due to slowing your metabolism it’s not just going to put it on right away. Your fans care about you and want you to seek help. However, you need to do it for YOU. Don’t do it for content, views, or sympathy if that’s the reason you won’t stick with it.
I feel you! I live in Los Angeles county and we’ve been so restricted This whole time! I’m over it 😭 my wedding was cancelled and on top of it my mom is going thru cancer for the 3rd time 😩
Awww Kaden is getting so big🥰 Thank you for sharing!💖
I totally understand about COVID and anxiety, so many of us are suffering and just wat to move on. I take meds for anxiety and not afraid of weight gain. I just eat healthier and exercise alot. Good for the body, but most of all good for the mind. Harder for you guys up north with so many closures and restrictions, not as much here.
Meg can you do a grwm explaing the products type of video . ‘ happy holidays’
You are not alone. If that helps at all to know those of us with severe anxiety are all feeling this so hard. And it's not getting any better.
We are from the East coast (NH) but currently live in New Mexico. We are completely locked back down. 75 person max in big box stores.. there's nothing open. My Resort Spa that I work at as an Esthetician has been shut down since March. I have been furloughed since June. My now husband and I postponed our big wedding in October and eloped. This year has been nuts!!! I hope other states don't have to go through what New Mexico is currently going through. We are all in this together. We have to dig deep and be grateful for the bit of good we have in our lives 😘💞
Thank you for another video!
I’m with you girl . Everything is so weird and tough right now . And i just passed your comment about the winter blues .. im from jersey too and we live in Clearwater , FL now - the sunshine and warmth has done wonders for my mental health ... anyways love your vlogs always girl!
What if you did winter photos once she’s down for Christmas but after Christmas lol.
Because she doesn't want to , if she really wanted her in them that would have been the case
I love this idea!! I wouldn't feel right sending out a family Christmas card without her.
I feel like Kaden waves his arms around cause he wants the food and wants to be independent and feed himself and your limiting how much he eats.
Not being rude in anyway I just think hes frustrated during meal time and wants to eat but you keep pulling the food away. Hes looks like he hit a growth spurt and grew taller so maybe he needs more to eat cause hes looking lean. Just trying to help!😊👍
Sorry you’re going through this, love.
Has been a hard year for most. I’m almost 8 months pregnant and no more baby shower for me this month because of covid ... super bummed about it... and I can’t have my mom/family in the hospital while I give birth in feb (only my husband - which is a blessing).
That dinner looked amazing. Kaden is so big and adorable. My baby is one month apart from him. Sooo cute 🥰🥰
Girl I will say my anxiety has been sky high since the pandemic it’s affecting me everyday: I am in the medical field so shits been crazy.. but my doc did put me on anxiety med as needed not everyday.. but my problem is my anxiety is from work! And I can’t take my medicine at work bc it makes me sleepy so I’ve only taken it twice at home to see how it would effect me and of course it made me drowsy. But yes anxiety is a real thing idk what else to do other than maybe find a job working from home ? When it starts affecting your body emotionally mentally and physically then something needs to be done!
Try buspar, it doesn’t have any of the affects most anxiety meds have. No drowsy spacey feeling
Love your videos 🤍 thanks for sharing! Just wanted to add some positivity!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MEG , YOU ARE SO PRETTY, AND YOUR FAMILY ES SO PRETTY!!!!
I love your hair!!!
i haven't gone out to dinner in 14 years
Lol many people never go out to eat but obviously to some that's such a big deal.
Nice to hear this. I am also struggling w/ the pandemic, bad. I feel like we don’t hear it enough. Thank you for your transparency. Xo
My daughter turned one in August and we weren’t able to have the party I dreamed of but it is what it is. Health is most important ❤️
I’m so sorry so many things are getting you down we’re all in the same boat. I am also from New Jersey and have a three-year-old little girl we try to keep things as normal as possible just while wearing a mask. It’s awful and uncomfortable and we hate it but I don’t let it get us down we still do normal things hang out with a close circle of friends go out with our masks on try to keep it fun for the kids while still being safe. Please don’t feel like you need to sit home all the time that’s not healthy ❤️👍🏼
A lot of my graduate school research has been in autism and I would never diagnose a child but it may be worth speaking to your pediatrician about the hand flapping.
I see so many babies doing that...
It gets concerning at 2 years old if they aren’t showing any type of milestone. Sometimes it too early to tell
My son would do that when he was around Kaden’s age (the hand flapping) and his physical therapist said that in her experience that was an early sign of sensory issues. He is 8 years old now has some minor sensory issues. He doesn’t flap his hands anymore, but he crosses his ring finger across his middle finger and just needs the weight/pressure from what he’s doing.
My now 13 year old did that as a baby lots of times. Even had videos of her doing and gasp she doesn’t have autism, how about not diagnosing other people’s kids.
@@candi0826 she wasn’t diagnosing she said it’s worth mentioning and it is.
I love the no fake snow? Comment 😂😂 i freaking died when he said that
i can't wait for the vlogemeber :)
I also didn’t get a newborn shoot for my daughter and really wish I had ! I thought that one of my cousins was going to take pictures but that didn’t happen and when you just had your first baby it’s like the last thing on your mind lol. We did get a couple shots from the hospital but they’re nothing like a shoot would’ve been. Can’t wait to see how the pics turned out!
Sending you lots of light and love. You’re not alone in these heightened feelings of anxiety and depression, sis. Praying it passes quickly for all of us. In the meantime, one day at a time, sweet Jesus. ❣️
Have you tried teaching Kaden the ASL sign for more? I Nanny 2 boys and have taught this to both of them and it worked great! Kaden is a smart boy I bet he would catch on very quickly.
I feel ya with his 1st birthday. My daughter turned 1 in march, and her party was actually scheduled for the first weekend that everything shut down. It is really hard, and things have started to finally get to me too.
Where did you get your baby play gate?? I need one for my baby! She was born the same day as Kaden actually 😅 20 minutes apart
I recently started Zoloft and Lamictal for OCD and anxiety, and I can promise you that the relief I feel is worth every pound I’ve gained. Technically these medications are weight neutral, so it’s simply because I feel better causing me to have more of an appetite. As long as you exercise and eat right it shouldn’t be a big deal. Also if you’re suffering with depression and anxiety, medication is much more important than you gaining a few pounds!
I am on Zoloft as well for depression and anxiety, been on it for 5 weeks and it truly has been a life changer! I actually lost weight due to my depression but I am barely starting to gain some weight only because I have my appetite back.
I’ve been on Zoloft and have gained a lot of weight but mentally I have never felt better.
@@almalopezz so glad to hear it’s working for you too!❤️
@@fortheloveofplantsandcoffe894 it really is life changing. Even with the weight gain it is so worth it
Aww 😊 he is such a happy little guy ! I have Nespresso on my List thanks to you 🎄 🎅🏾
My daughter turned 1 in July. We just went to my MILs house, had cupcakes and lit some sparklers with my older niece and nephew. I was a little bent out of shape that I didn’t get to have my cute donut themed party. My husband was quick to remind me that at the end of the day my daughter isn’t going to remember this birthday - but the family we spent a whole day with laughing and joking with will remember it forever.
Right?! And the best thing is your baby girl is healthy because you’ve chosen to take this pandemic seriously. All that matters is that your baby girl was celebrated by the people that love her the most.
I miss your makeup tutorials! What is this lip combo?
Love your vlogs 💜
His hands are always flopping around sooooo much 😂
I know it's so hard during this time 😩😔 I also have my days but just try to be positive and find things that make you happy and bring peace to you 🙏💆🦋💫 sending positive vibes to you ❤
Where did you get your Kaden necklace from? Super cute!
