Congratulations you guys! What exciting news especially after your fertility struggles. This must be such a wonderful surprise! 💕 Yeah time goes much faster after the first kid.
Thank you so much! We look forward to bringing another little boy into our German-American world. We hope you and your family are having a great Christmas.
Congratulations! I am also an American pregnant in Germany, so I actually first came by through the videos about your previous pregnancy! Those videos have been very helpful, and i look forward to more content along those lines. I am especially interested in which baby products you will be using. Tschüss!
The reactions were fabulous. "Nice shirt. Get in the car." ""We're gonna have a green child?" (Actually, Jonathan's first response to the pregnancy test ("Oh boy!") was quite accurate 😀)
Congrats 🎉 and thank you guys for not dragging the whole thing out as much as all the other UA-camrs do 😄 it’s so much more enjoyable to watch than to have 10 videos until you finally get to know the gender and the name 😄
"Second child abroad", those were the words that stuck in my mind. Sounded kind of wrong. Let us take another look: You build a house here and moved in, you send Jack to Kita and keep meeting with friends of his and yours and neighbors. And you named yourself 'Black Forest Family'. Sounds more like 'home' to me than like 'abroad'.😄
Congratulations! Being pregnant having a toddler can be a nightmare. But it's so we worth it, when the age gap isn't too big. Our little ones are now 7, 4 and 2 years old and it is a blessing 🥰
My brother is 9 years younger than me. My mom asked me a few times to take care of him for an hour or two (to say "No" was always an option) and we never fought about toys. This is the good side of a big age gap. In the other hand, they rose two single kids and had to take care of preteens for almost 20 years
@@kilsestoffel3690 my sister is 6 years older than I am. We didn't do anything together when we were kids pretty much because she was a teen when I was the annoying kid's age.
@@Kloetenhenne when I had my drivers licence, I was his "chauffeur", because I could keep mom's car for the rest of that day. And sometimes I took him and a friend to special occasiones I was going with my friends (the beach or skating on a frozen lake). I knew he wouldn't be annoying and he knew, it would have been the last trip if he was annoying. We were, and still are, quite close and always stood together against annoying parents.
@@kilsestoffel3690 well, you are really lucky then. My sister didn't want to drive me around when she had her license. And soon after she moved out. Now, we are closer because we are both 3 years away from 30 and adults but when I was little I was all alone pretty much (at home).
Congratulations! That is such great news! Not just a new Black Forester, also another protagonist and topic for your fantastic videos, also a valid excuse to turn up the heating!
What a nice surprise, very BIG congrats to you - also from me !!! I'm looking very much forward to the baby's story, which will hopefully be revealed within your future videos... 😍😊 Again, ALL THE BEST FOR THE GROWING BLACKFOREST FAMILY !!!! 🤩🙏👌❤❤
Congratulations :D I'm with Jonathan when it comes to the green baby. The one thing that irks me a bit about the comments is that random internet strangers say "I was wondering when the family would grow" as if it's a given that it will. Comments like that can be very painful to people if they do want a second child but are not able to. Or rude when they don't want a second child but a stranger is pushing their opinion or hopes on them. I even think this when it's not about strangers but family members, but for Pete's sake if you are a stranger mind your own business.
Thank you, this is completely what I felt! Also about the question if it can be spotted or not: I would never be so assuming to jump to any conclusions here. What is not shared with us on this channel is none of our business and I think it is important to keep this space safe here!
I'm saying this with the best intentions for you: Try being less offended. Sure some things might not be great for some people and there definitely are douchebags out there, however if you focus to much on that it just darkens your own day. Being offended really is a mental thing, which means you can also not get offended anymore just by thinking about it differently.
@@_aullik I'm not offended, I just don't understand why anyone would force their ideas upon someone else. After I wrote the comment I already escaped my mind. I mainly wrote it to tell people off that might not realize how they come across.
Now don't get carried away. To get to the point: no one is forced to present their private life publicly on UA-cam. Anyone who exposes themselves in this way must also expect "strangers" to interfere in their lives. If you don't want that, there's a very simple solution: don't produce any videos of yourself on the Internet. I've never had to listen to anything from strangers in my life, because I don't produce videos and I keep my private life private.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Wie schon ein Sprichwort sagt: „Wo gehobelt wird, fallen Späne". Habt ein schönes Weihnachten und ein guten Rutsch in das neue Jahr.
You are so right about baby clothes: 20 of each item for girls, 3 for boys. And once they are about 3, not even more teddy bears or planes, just stripes or "Harvard". I was so happy shopping for my little girl, after having a boy first. But aside from the clothes, small boys and small girls are both adorable. Congratulations and enjoy your pregnancy. I'll keep watching because I had both of my children in Turkey as a foreigner - so I can compare to Germany.
We have two boys ages 5 and 3 and they are learning German from their father. It is a busy household with 2 boys but also super fun! Congrats to you all!
I have so enjoyed all of your videos, and have enjoyed watching you hone your presentation skills through the months. But this video was special. Not only was it a very personal, intimate glimpse into the life of your family and extended family, it felt like you were truly able to break through that invisible wall that differentiates the way we treat strangers with how we treat family and close friends. You made me feel at ease. You let me feel that we in your audience are being trusted to see who you truly are. And that makes all the difference. I hope you study the subtle intonations from each of you in this video, because the way you spoke, the gestures, the facial expressions - they all worked so well to show us the 'real people' whose lives are worth caring about. And some of the nervous energy and the phrases that say 'we're talking to strangers' were absent this time. You teach us a lot (especially those of us Ausländers who now live in Germany), but every once in a while, a very personal episode reminds us why we really want to watch each time. Thanks for trusting us with this wonderful news. Your children's lives will be forever enriched by the adventure you have chosen.
The thing that gladdens me the most is that you guys are going to make them happy both of your kids, you're going to love them, support them and train them to face up to life! The whole video put a smile on me and I beamed at your eagerness throughout 😄🌼 I can only wish you to be taken care of properly until delivery occurs and well.. 3 boys are going to be a load to be reckoned with 😁😄 🌝
What a perfect surprise ! Merry Christmas to you and thank you for sharing the exciting news with us ! I hope you've overcome the morning sickness period by now, Ashton, and are now able just to enjoy the little gummibear's kicking and turning . Happy holidays ! 🥰
It's great to hear, that another little boy is on the way. Well done, Jonathan. I wish you all the best. The time will come your boys takes girls to your home.❤❤❤
I'm just another UA-cam addict, but for what it is worth: I am so happy for you two... sorry, 3.... no, 4 ! Anyway, the world needs more green babies. Congratulation to you all !
Congrats. I'm so happy for you. About the gender tests, I never wanted to know. It was almost like Christmas to see what your gift was. And considering the building blocks: You,ve gotten used to them and know never to step down with too much weight, so you won't hurt yourself. That,s so much easier than having a girl cry her eyes out because you just stomped her doll to death.
Das ist so genial. Jack wird ein toller grosser Bruder sein. Er hat von den besten gelernt😂. Ich freue mich sehr für euch. Viel Liebe und Kraft vom Bodensee nach Freiburg. Frohe Weihnachten für euch. Jetzt erst recht 🥰🥰
Congratulations. I got lucky with my last child because he was born and literally a week later they threw up all the covid rules so my parents had managed to sneak in and see him and I was allowed in the hospital. On a positive note the pandemic is officially over now in Germany so hopefully they'll drop the last of the restrictions soon.
Congratulations, what a nice Christmas surprise for all of us watching!! 🥳 I am so happy for the three of you and also happy, that Jack's little brother is healthy and growing as he's supposed to be. I am due in June, but we'll have twins, so we might get our babys the same time around. I think you're lucky that you didn't know about your pregnancy that early, because I can imagine you would've been very anxious about the bleeding. My Frauenarzt also allows the father only to join the three big scans and he was also allowed to join for the First Trimester Screening. I think it's better than nothing, but I would've needed him on the first scan as I was very anxious. Enjoy your second trimester and Merry Christmas to you all!
Grünkohl, Grünkern, grüne Bohnen, ... grünes Kind! Mal was anderes! Und wegen der Restriktionen - nur keine grünen Haare wachsen lassen. What a wonderful surprise! I'm wishing all the best to you.
Finally it's your turn too, on almost all the channels I've followed here in the last year there have been announcements of offspring or the family has expanded a bit and now you've announced it. I would like to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart, I'm looking forward to your reports, your experiences and your exciting videos about it. I'm really happy for you. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas, Ashton was really good at hiding all sorts of clues. Germany need's families!! And don't give up to soon on the COVID situation. Thing's can change and it needs a few other federal state's to do that and then the Domino effect comes around. I guess Baden Württemberg will change when Bavaria does it. I guess in 2023 there will be more possible for you getting the baby. I hope and i believe it for you.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Was für eine schöne wundervolle Überraschung zum Jahresende! Ich wünsche euch alles, alles Gute!! Trotz aller anhaltenden Covid Beschränkungen habt eine schöne und entspannte Zeit. Great News!!!!!! Und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch Ashton, herzlichen Glückwunsch Jonathan! Although already quite some time in the making, it's the best and most genuine Christmas gift for you family. Two make a nice pair...
Congratulations, Ashton and Jonathan!!! I'm so excited for you all- what a way to celebrate Christmas- Thanks for sharing this joyful news! Merry Christmas and happy new year to all four of you!!
I'm so totally amazed (and heartened) by the fact that the two of you see the pregnancy as a shared event. Congrats--and I hope the birth goes well and you have a healthy second child. [P.S. Some people may indeed notice the "belly bump" but feel it could be shaming if mentioned because it may lead the person being commented on thinking they are getting, well, fat. There is that borderline, so to speak, between saying something about another person's physical appearance and trying to politely say something needs to be rectified. My best barometer has been to wait until a young child comments on it. They are known for blurting out the obvious.]
Congrad's from The Land of Lincoln, to mom & dad, on your 'baby on the way'. What an awesome Christmas present! I'm so happy for the two of you. Best wishes for the New Year, that it's a safe & happy one, for all of you. Thanks for sharing the good news. :)
Congratulations. We "forgot" the Mutterpass last week for our first appointment at the Frauenarzt. So the second child will have it own when it grows up. Now my wife has to carry both but this will be worth it.
Hey you guys, congratulations! But you should have warned us about Jonathan's response to the gender reveal - I had my morning coffee come out of my nose! Have a merry christmas you four and my best wishes for the months to come!
I suppressed my thought as an engineer about baby Jack: Fine prototype - series may start 🥰😉 I'm happy for you all. But you will have to find another project name: gummy bears are traditionally made in Bonn😁
Thank you for this personal insight wrapped as always in such a professional video. Thank you! You are such a blessed couple and family and also your pregnancy is blessed (finding THAT particular midwife p.e.) - love it! May the Heavens bless you even more in the course of your pregnancy and birth with lots of good surprises, encounters that do good to your soul and the peaceful feeling that all will be will as He is on your side! One little thing i‘m curious about concerning the building of your house: did they finish the outside? I remember the dirt wall on one side of your house … GBU!
Dear Ashton, dear Jonathan, what a beautiful message for a christmas video! I wish you all the best on this journey and a wonderful christmas season! I completely understand your frustration about covid-related protocols and I really do hope, that experience will not be as extreme as it has probably have been with Jack. But I really do feel, it has become a kind of new normal. My twitter feed is full of alarming anecdotes about how our medical sector in Germany is still completely overwhelmed and in deep trouble and not really recovering from the pandemic. I kind of fear, yes, this might be part of the new normal. I really do hope that your pregnancy this time will still work out fine and the fact that you found a midwife gives me the hope that you have still a confident journey. About that "it was starting to show" thing: When I watched that Amtrak video, I might have "noticed something", but maybe it is just me but I am conditioned to be absolutely unassuming with things like that. Why should I be in a position to think about something like that? So yes, for me it was still an absolute surprise, when the title of your video came up. Again, all my best wishes!
Omg congratulations 😊🌹 children bring so much joy into this world and you two seem like such wonderful parents🙏 blessings from your subscribers from the United States
Congrats! I really liked how you put all of this in one video, of course to save from any sudden changes that might occur early in the pregnancy but for us to have all these parts, finding out, telling family, finding out gender etc in one video was so nice. Although I still can't but think now you gotta go for number three to roll the gender dice once more haha I know many think 2 are perfect but somehow many end up with 3 ultimately :D But 2 boys so close in age definitely will be helpful with keeping them busy, Jack's now got a built in playing buddy!
First of all my congratulations to you. These are some exciting news and I am happy for you guys. Beeing pregnant watching and feeling the baby grow in you and eventually giving birth is a really special experience. My first pregnancy was completely unplanned and unexpected and came in a very difficult time in my life. When I had my first doctor's appointment I was already about 14 weeks pregnant. Funny enough cause I think Jack and my firstborn share the same birthday date. Of course some years apart, as the result just turned 14 a month ago. But until today it still doesn't make sense to me because I don't know how I could have gotten pregnant at this point. I also had my monthly period. I would have loved to do some check up appointments at a midwife but I had gestation diabetes and had to inject insulin and that made it a high risk pregnancy and I had to go to the doctor's every time. I really felt pushed around medically wise. Like I had to go and see so many different doctors. It was annoying even though I knew it was for the greater good.
About the midwifes: actually the birth itself is always accompanied by a midwife. A doctor is only present if there is a problem and afterwards to check the baby.
Second and third pregnancies always go by real fast compared to the first one, because the first time you’re just waiting and from then on you always have someone to keep you busy!
Congratulations!!! Such wonderful news and I hope everything goes smoothly! Merry christmas and happy new year to you all!! Little bit shocked at how much memories this video brought back from our pregnancy and everything surrounding it, so much so it made me tear up a little bit at time's!?
First things first: Congratulations to your pregnancy and that Jack is about to become a big brother for another healthy boy. 👶🏻🍼 However, I knew it before. Around the time when you released your video about "Everesting in the black forest", you slipped your tongue just once about being pregnant either in a YT video or on insta. But I couldn't find it anymore later on.
Big congratulations to you for your pregnancy. It’s good to hear, that everything is well done. Wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Enjoy your at family and have a lot of fun
😉 Think you need a "tridem" in your new intro.... 👍 Glückwunsch Maybe you have that restrictions in "The Länd" because of your "Winny Kretsche" he seems to be very old school in some way, almost like a Landesfürst.... Merry Christmas and a happy new year
Merry Christmas and congratulations on the new family member. Information on the "Covid restrictions" that are still in force, especially in medical practices, old people's and nursing homes and hospitals. The restrictions are still active because there are currently waves of colds (flu, flu infections) and fellow citizens and staff are to be protected because the initial symptoms are similar.
Congratulations! What a lovely surprise! and to share it on Christmas actually feels like a gift to me as your follower. I wish you a good and easy pregnancy. So happy for you that you got to share this with your family in person. There are lots of books out there, maybe even in the local library for Jack to learn about what is about to happen. And am quite sure that the nursery school teachers will also be of help explaining. So enjoyed watching Jonathan's reaction too!
"We're gonna have a green child?" had me spit out my morning coffee laughing. Well done, Jonathan!
I'm sure they gonna love a Shrek Baby just as much. 😃
@@berndb3141 Definitely much easier to love than a Grinch baby. Hehe.
I hope it's not gonna be the Hulk, poor Ashton!😁

My best barometer has been to wait until a young child comments on it. They are known for blurting out the obvious.]
Congratulations, and Merry Christmas to all three of you!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
@@TypeAshton Let me correct myself: My seasons greetings go to all _four_ of you.
Congrad's from The Land of Lincoln, to mom & dad, on your 'baby on the way'. What an awesome Christmas present! I'm so happy for the two of you. Best wishes for the New Year, that it's a safe & happy one, for all of you.
Thanks for sharing the good news. :)
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Congratulations. We "forgot" the Mutterpass last week for our first appointment at the Frauenarzt. So the second child will have it own when it grows up. Now my wife has to carry both but this will be worth it.
It sounds like congrats are in order for your family as well! Best of luck to you!
Congratulations! Herzlichen Glückwunsch. euch vier. Schöne Weihnachten und ein guten Rutsch ins Jahr 2023
Vielen dank! Frohe Weihnachten!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum zweiten Kind in Deutschland / Schwarzwald /Freiburg 🥂
Vielen dank!
Hey you guys, congratulations! But you should have warned us about Jonathan's response to the gender reveal - I had my morning coffee come out of my nose!
Have a merry christmas you four and my best wishes for the months to come!
😂😂 Merry Christmas!
I suppressed my thought as an engineer about baby Jack: Fine prototype - series may start 🥰😉
I'm happy for you all.
But you will have to find another project name: gummy bears are traditionally made in Bonn😁
And you wouldnt have needed "one of these". One can see it in your eyes even before the test. Happened to us as well.... Happy new year!
Thank you for this personal insight wrapped as always in such a professional video. Thank you! You are such a blessed couple and family and also your pregnancy is blessed (finding THAT particular midwife p.e.) - love it! May the Heavens bless you even more in the course of your pregnancy and birth with lots of good surprises, encounters that do good to your soul and the peaceful feeling that all will be will as He is on your side! One little thing i‘m curious about concerning the building of your house: did they finish the outside? I remember the dirt wall on one side of your house … GBU!
Merry Christmas and congrats on the exciting news you're having a baby!! Wishing you all the best in 2023!
Thank you! You too!
All the best for the 4 of in the future! Happy holidays und einen guten Rutsch!🎉
Herzlichen Glückwünsch und alles Gute für das Baby
Vielen Dank!

Merry Christmas!
Dear Ashton, dear Jonathan,
what a beautiful message for a christmas video! I wish you all the best on this journey and a wonderful christmas season!
I completely understand your frustration about covid-related protocols and I really do hope, that experience will not be as extreme as it has probably have been with Jack. But I really do feel, it has become a kind of new normal. My twitter feed is full of alarming anecdotes about how our medical sector in Germany is still completely overwhelmed and in deep trouble and not really recovering from the pandemic. I kind of fear, yes, this might be part of the new normal. I really do hope that your pregnancy this time will still work out fine and the fact that you found a midwife gives me the hope that you have still a confident journey.
About that "it was starting to show" thing: When I watched that Amtrak video, I might have "noticed something", but maybe it is just me but I am conditioned to be absolutely unassuming with things like that. Why should I be in a position to think about something like that? So yes, for me it was still an absolute surprise, when the title of your video came up.
Again, all my best wishes!
Thank you! We hope you have a great new year!
Merry Christmas and Congratulations to a second baby boy.
Thank you!

herzlichen Glückwunsch 🍀👨👨👧👧❤
Danke!
Congrats! I really liked how you put all of this in one video, of course to save from any sudden changes that might occur early in the pregnancy but for us to have all these parts, finding out, telling family, finding out gender etc in one video was so nice.
Although I still can't but think now you gotta go for number three to roll the gender dice once more haha I know many think 2 are perfect but somehow many end up with 3 ultimately :D But 2 boys so close in age definitely will be helpful with keeping them busy, Jack's now got a built in playing buddy!
Awww, so schön. Ich wünsche Euch alles erdenklich Gute.
First of all my congratulations to you. These are some exciting news and I am happy for you guys. Beeing pregnant watching and feeling the baby grow in you and eventually giving birth is a really special experience.
My first pregnancy was completely unplanned and unexpected and came in a very difficult time in my life. When I had my first doctor's appointment I was already about 14 weeks pregnant. Funny enough cause I think Jack and my firstborn share the same birthday date. Of course some years apart, as the result just turned 14 a month ago. But until today it still doesn't make sense to me because I don't know how I could have gotten pregnant at this point. I also had my monthly period.
I would have loved to do some check up appointments at a midwife but I had gestation diabetes and had to inject insulin and that made it a high risk pregnancy and I had to go to the doctor's every time. I really felt pushed around medically wise. Like I had to go and see so many different doctors. It was annoying even though I knew it was for the greater good.
Congratulation, You are all wonderful and i love watching your videos. I wish you all the best...❤❤❤
About the midwifes: actually the birth itself is always accompanied by a midwife. A doctor is only present if there is a problem and afterwards to check the baby.
Second and third pregnancies always go by real fast compared to the first one, because the first time you’re just waiting and from then on you always have someone to keep you busy!
Congratulations!!! Such wonderful news and I hope everything goes smoothly! Merry christmas and happy new year to you all!!
Little bit shocked at how much memories this video brought back from our pregnancy and everything surrounding it, so much so it made me tear up a little bit at time's!?
Thank you so much! We hope you have a great new year!
Congratulations :) I was kind of expecting an announcement like this, in the last few videos Ashtons's face looked like a bit different :)
Hey, what wonderful news ! Congratulations. 😀
Herzlichen Glückwunsch , Frohe Weihnacht und ein gutes Neues Jahr .🥰🥰
Danke! Ein gutes Neues Jahr!
First things first: Congratulations to your pregnancy and that Jack is about to become a big brother for another healthy boy. 👶🏻🍼
However, I knew it before. Around the time when you released your video about "Everesting in the black forest", you slipped your tongue just once about being pregnant either in a YT video or on insta. But I couldn't find it anymore later on.
Thank you so much!
I am so unbelievably happy for you!
Thank you so much!
@@TypeAshton 😃 ihr werdet so viel Spaß haben!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Ashton, Jonathan and Jack. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Vielen dank! Merry Christmas!
I am absolutely thrilled for you!!! Congratulations!!!!
Thank you so much Lauren!
Congrats! Wish you a smooth and safe delivery. Merry XMAS
Congratulations.... so the Black Forest pro cycling team is growing. Looking forward to the TdF in 18years time 👍🚲🚲🚲

Thank you!!
Big congratulations to you for your pregnancy. It’s good to hear, that everything is well done.
Wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Enjoy your at family and have a lot of fun
Thank you so much!
😉 Think you need a "tridem" in your new intro.... 👍
Glückwunsch
Maybe you have that restrictions in "The Länd" because of your "Winny Kretsche" he seems to be very old school in some way, almost like a Landesfürst....
Merry Christmas and a happy new year
Thank you! Happy new year!
Merry Christmas and congratulations on the new family member.
Information on the "Covid restrictions" that are still in force, especially in medical practices, old people's and nursing homes and hospitals.
The restrictions are still active because there are currently waves of colds (flu, flu infections) and fellow citizens and staff are to be protected because the initial symptoms are similar.
Thank you!
Congratulations to you all! Enjoy the journey!
Das freut mich sehr für euch . Alles Gute .👶
Congratulations! What a lovely surprise! and to share it on Christmas actually feels like a gift to me as your follower. I wish you a good and easy pregnancy.
So happy for you that you got to share this with your family in person.
There are lots of books out there, maybe even in the local library for Jack to learn about what is about to happen. And am quite sure that the nursery school teachers will also be of help explaining. So enjoyed watching Jonathan's reaction too!
Great idea! Thank you!
