Matt is definitely a ppl pleaser, Abby. He was gonna say “life isn’t what he expected” and she got sad. And then he changed his response! It’s okay to be honest Matt.
Child proof your home before bringing delivering your baby. Life gets in the way, one thinks they have all the time in the world. It only takes one incident, God forbid. Consider it part of the nesting if that helps getting the cabinets, drawers, outlets, toilet seat, etc childproofed!
It’s good for little kids to be around multiple people, it increases social skills, how to adapt to different social situations, and to get to know different types of people
i’m so excited to see videos with the new baby and also for y’all to have a cute family channel with griffin and augie, that name is adorable!!!! y’all are going to be amazing parents of 2 and i’m praying for you guys and your family! ❤️
Abby - you are correct. Birds do add items suck as shells, berries and stick to their nest only for decoration to attract a mate and when sitting on their eggs. I learned something new. ❤ Another reason why I love this podcast.
Yes which if i remember correctly also the same as penguins and bunnies too!! Penguins do so with pebbles for their mates and then continue into nesting and bunnies continues to add fluff and other things to the nest
Matt saying, “Your emotions are welcome here.”-reassuring and makes an environment for Abby to feel safe and to be her beautiful sweet self. Darling couple. Having moments with your family that are precious memories being built.
I noticed your comment about saving people over animals, I work in animal protection and I just thought I would add some thinking points to this comment. This is meant as informative / food for thought: It’s important to save / protect animals for a number of reasons; 1. Our planet requires ecosystems to function correctly, without correct ecosystems, that includes flora and fauna we will not survive. 2. Animals deserve our guardianship and husbandry, they do not have a voice that we can understand, there are so many animals that are suffering because of industrial decisions of humans, people who are advocating for animals are acting for their rights that they cannot protect. 3. Animals are proven to be sentient beings, they have emotions, they feel pain and they can feel fear, distress and perform complex tasks. They are deeply vulnerable to human activity such as mining, deforestation, fishing etc if we let everyone do what they want in nature and not care what happens to all creatures, this planet will die. Each creature exists on earth for a reason, as each one dies off, the lower our chance of environmental recovery is 4. Domesticated and farmed animals require us humans to help them, we have bred them to be dependent on us, they cannot thrive on the street or in feral populations. Stray cats and dogs spread disease, suffer from malnutrition, get into fights, suffer from severe animal abuse due to overpopulation and fear of disease. As humans we are 100% at fault for what is happening to our domestic and farmed animals around the world. They didn’t choose to become this way, we have created animals for a purpose that need us to protect them. Just as an interesting fact 75% of the world’s dog population are stray. This is why rescuing, spay / neuter and vaccination programs are essential. I hope this helps explain if not for ethical reasons, for the ecological reasons why animal protection is critical. Humans should 100% receive help but we are not the only living beings on this planet, and we cannot survive without all creatures being happy and healthy. Congratulations on your new baby and I wish you much health and luck in the coming months.
75%?!?! 😢 I’m literally bawling crying. Hardcore ugly cry! Poor pups ❤ I’ll be giving Tobi (my very precious 6 year old mini schnauzer) some extra lovins tonight. I lost my twin girls 16 days apart then found out it was bc I had 4 types of cancer and was whisked in for a for an emergency full, radical hysterectomy. So I’ll never have the chance to be a mommy… which is what I’ve wanted since I started babysitting at 12 (SO young at the time, I don’t know how anyone’s mama would trust me with thier children when I was TWELVE years old! 🤣😂🤣) now I teach Sunday school, I’m auntie to all my friends children. But basically bc of that Tobi is soooo spoiled! He IS my baby! Anyone who says “it’s just a dog” definitely do NOT understand MY situation. But I love all the info… it just makes me so sad. 75 friggin% ?!?!?Heartbreaking!!! ❤️🩹 Thank you for the education ❤ I know I really appreciate it! ❤
@@LL-wu5uipeople don’t only cry because of pregnancy. It just shows she’s really passionate about what she’s talking about. Sometimes it may be the hormones, but not always and you don’t need to say it’s only because if it
I love how Matt is so supportive of her having her family there and how Abby is like “I want you’re parents to move in too!” So sweet and refreshing to see a couple fostering close relationships! And so refreshing to see a family who CAN be that close! I know so many who it would be a terrible idea, but this is great!!
Yes, agree with Abby. Matt you are not a people pleaser! It is not your values or morals, it is about what you want, like the cookie issue at the baby shower for SIL Abby! Will you be tested for ADD or ADHD like you said you should or would be during the Sarah and Derik podcast?
@@beaujoe123... Not sure why you would do the comment section knowing that someone's going to give away things. Watch the episode and then go to comments...
Dogs are not people but he is my child. If I don’t take care of him like I’m his mom, he would starve, be cold, be lonely, etc. He is my child. Bye haha
Need to have a counselor on the podcast to sort out these foggy feelings, thoughts, especially all the cryptic things Matt says(1% infatuation(are you 16%?). This IS real life, real love grows deeper and deeper, commitment to your spouse and children grows deeper and deeper as well, responsibility comes with marriage, children, job, life! Also please have a childbirth specialist/ob on the podcast! Braxton Hicks contractions are normal! As uncomfortable as they can be, Matt, they are not the contractions of labor! If men went through labor they would never have unprotected sex again!
Mothers need a 'village', it's so natural to be with our elders and support each other. Parenthood isn't inherently hard, it's todays society that makes it so, because we don't have communities! You guys are amazing x
My mother in law lived with me for awhile. It seems like such a taboo here considering it is normal practice in so many different cultures. It really does take a village
Yes, I love this. I felt so guilty asking for help when my kids were super little, I definitely felt the pressure like I was supposed to be able to do it all on my own.
@kellienicole3469 I feel this way too. Like I chose I to have kids, so I shouldn't need much help with them. Then in other cultures it would be expected for everyone to help. Because they just do.
I agree!! A lot of the elders in my relatives are stuck and a childlike mentality and a lot of times it best to care for them from a distance.. I wouldn’t even consider them family. But then all the weight falls on me. There’s no village. It makes me appreciate myself in a whole another level. And my relationship with god is just flourishing. So I would say it’s a hard win but a win overall.
Yes! My mom passed away when my daughter was a year old, and I’d give anything to have had her there. It’s awesome that Abby’s parents are able to be there everyday! ❤
I can’t wait to see baby August, Griffin is going to be such a good big brother. Y’all are going to be such good parents. Here is when they talk about 42:12. I love the fact that Matt was saying the first name and started slowly saying the middle, and last name
Multi-generational households have been a thing for 1000s! Families used to get along and support each other. I think it's awesome you guys are able to create this life for your family! Blessings!❤
I bet Matt is an Enneagram 8 which is the Challenger. I’ve noticed a lot of similarities between him and my husband who is also an Enneagram 8. He basically loves talking about controversial topics and that is what drives him lol. I’d rather keep the peace if we’re in a group setting, but hey opposites attract I guess 😂
I love the name August and the nickname Auggie. Griffin will be such a good big brother. I can’t believe Griffin is 1 already i remember when he was born❤
Abby you just opened my eyes and saved me. “You can’t be 100% all the time for your kids but everyone can be 100% for a little while” I feel terrible asking for help, and what you said now makes me feel like asking for help is actually what’s best for my child regardless of how hard that is for me. I have 2 kids, 13 months apart also (Currently 17 months and 4 months) I’m so thankful for your insight, sending my oldest with Grandma today and making it a point to not feel guilty. ❤
Auggie and Griffin, Griffin and Auggie - so adorable! Rolls of the tongue so nicely and it sounds like a title for a cute cartoon show. EXCITED FOR BABY #2!
We named our daughter Aurora, fully expecting that we would call her Rory 95% of the time. Within a year everyone else called her Rory and we call her Aurora lol!
One of our sons is Tobias and we planned on calling him Toby. 💙When we first brought him home, his 21 month old sister heard us saying both names. She started calling him Toby-bias. That's still a nickname almost 5 yrs later 💞
I'm literally so jealous. I'm married with a toddler. We have absolutely no help from family. My hubby and I haven't had a break since he was born, almost 4 years ago. DON'T take your family and help for granted. 💜💜
hang in there! my husband and I never had family help with our three, youngest now in college, and we found it really brought us closer as a couple because we only had each other to rely on. it is challenging but get creative about date nights! you can do it!
Matt, Abby, Griffin, and Auggie🥰 I am SO SO SO happy for you guys. your kids are so blessed to be able to grow up and learn from amazing people. Just know that you inspire so many people, including me. I’ve been following you guys since day one, and I’m so excited and so happy to see the little family you guys have grown. In case you needed a reminder, you guys are amazing parents. You are raising Griffin so well and I already know how much love will be given to Auggie. Wishing you the best💗
When I clicked on this video my VERY FIRST THOUGHT was “it’s gonna be Jacob, I can totally see them having a Jacob” 😂🤩 I loveeee love love the first and middle names together! So happy for your little family 🥹🥰💕
Sorry but not so sorry how can you have a 2nd child if you cannot cope with first one. Wow you have a husband. I have 6 kids homeschool and am self employed and i am Single do it all alone no help all through my pr3gnancy and after and breastfed all my kids to 2 years😊
I think a lot don’t because people are so opinionated and sometimes flat out rude, seeing the negativity from anyone who didn’t like the name might taint how the parents feel about the name and cause them to have second thoughts. If there’s a name you absolutely love, and then hundreds of people tell you it’s terrible, I’m sure your feelings and excitement about the name comes down.
Not gonna lie I get Matts point but I've met a lot more dogs then people who are friendly so id much rather save a dog then a person. If someone went to attack my dog for no reason I will put them in the hospital because my dog is my family and I will save him just like any other family member.
Abby you say "well my doctor hasn't said anything" " she said as long as I'm doing what I was doing before the pregnancy" BUT YOU ARENT doint what you did before the pregnancy... you didnt have a heart rate of 200 during your workouts before pregnancy.. I know if you told her that your heart rate was getting to 200, SHE WOULD NOT BE HAPPY!
No hate or anything I love you guys but sometimes for those who can't have children our pets are like our kids. We know they aren't human but taking them everywhere and all that is a way of coping for some.
I care about animals 100% more than I care about people I COMPLETELY disagree Matt. Humans literally have a voice and can say what is wrong animals literally can't talk we need to be the ones to speak up for them. Like literally tho most humans I meet in my life are absolute shit I hate people I love them (in tana voice) but all of the animals I've ever met have been amazing so I don't know what to say about that.
Your honesty is refreshing but, my God, it makes me nervous for you. Matt is sending out so many distress signals and it’s clear that he’s struggling. I think adult responsibilities have come too many and too soon for him. It’s obvious that Abby is blissed out by motherhood (which is BEAUTIFUL to see!) but I think that her fulfilment blinds her to the fact that Matt isn’t as equally fulfilled. My parents had their first child in their early 20s. They were divorced by their early 30s because my Dad felt like he’d lost his youth. It caused a lot of frustration and built-up resentment in him. 😔 Matt is already showing the signs of feeling old before his time. 😔 I hope that, unlike my parents, Matt and Abby can find a way through TOGETHER, but these things are here now (a big house rather than a carefree shack in Hawaii, the physical burden of all of the furniture and possessions rooting him down, two children by the age of 25) and I’m not sure how to have those things and also feel like you still have enough youthful fun and playfulness in your life. August is a beautiful name. x
@suez9553 it’s nearly embarrassing to watch you are so right he is giving all the wrong signals out there for everyone to see. Abby is oblivious to it all her reliance on him will become suffocating in time. Sooner or later she will need to stop relying on everyone and step up and be the mother these babies deserve
I agree they tell everyone your gonna have a big baby with my first they said the smallest she’d be was 10lbs and I should consider c-section I had her all natural and she was 6lbs 😂 but just trust in your dr and keep it up mamma ❤️
So thankful you have all that help. The Lord blessed us with 6 children. The first 5 were in 9 years. Our families lived in different states. We had no help. The kids are now amazing adults. We did it! Families are so important! Bless you!
I don’t have a village. I’m all alone with my 10 month old and now I’m 6 weeks pregnant…I have no one. When I’m sick I just have to suffer and deal with it. Abby, you are living my dream. I just wish my mom cared about me
Both of you really need to wear shoes when you record your podcast. Have you ever noticed how much you touch your feet.? It’s very distracting to me and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed this. Why do you always touch your feet?
Oh yay so Abby is a boss woman in the gym having a 200 heart rate.. that is stroke level... do you not know the recommended heart rate during a workout? Even the most athletic people in the best shape can have a heart attack or a stroke. When you are pregnant, you have more blood in your system, which makes your heart have to work more plus with extra weight your heart is working more... being in shape is great but you are actually risking you and your baby's lives by working out that hard!
DO NOT let “WHATS UP DUDES” die!!!!!! I love having that og piece of the Matt and Abby channel💗💗 I remember watching you guys when you lived in Hawaii… some things need to stay the same
I’m not shaming but you shouldn’t do a c-section unless it is actually needed. It has way more many risks for mom and baby and higher risks for complications after delivery. Please talk more in depth with your doctor about the pro’s vs. cons and make n informed decision on your own. Not just what your doctor says. Not all doctors have their patients best interest at heart. C-sections are done far too often when they aren’t needed. I do love the name though! So so cute
Matt dogs r still furbabies n yes my girl is my baby she has human cousins, aunts n uncles n a nanny this who she knows my family I was not able to have my own children so this wat I have x ps I love ur vloggs n seeing baby go through her pregnancy n meeting the babies it's like a friend from the others idea of the world has given birth xx hi from uk
Maybe not include the name in the comment becouse this comment is right at the top and people can see it without looking in the comments or do spoiler Than the name
I love the moment where Matt starts talking about saving animals vs humans, and Abby was like "What did I told you?" hahah He was abput to touch a theme that is so complex and sensible. 😂 Btw no, i dont support what he was saying, specism is not good.
i teared up when you announced the name!! auggie is the main character in one of my all time fav childhood books! i love you guys and i’m so excited for both of you!
Our youngest was born 11 lb 5 oz and I delivered him vaginally. You can do this! Listen to your doctor but also listen to your own body. We can birth large babies, our bodies know what to do :)
Abby I love the way you gently stand up (sitting down!) for yourself & how you think and feel. Matt is always going to be ruthlessly honest and that is going to be a steady reliable. I’m v emotional like you (all the time, all my life). You are male & female & there will always be differences and not always (if ever) alignments in thoughts, feelings, wants. Women need to feel and be proud of the way they are, same with men, each honouring & respecting the differences whether of gender or character, no steamrolling please! I haven’t seen Griffin properly yet so am looking forward to seeing a birthday video (🎉🎉🎉). Good luck for the birth all of you, didn’t realise it was so imminent. Keep hydrated in the hot weather, put those feet up Abby! Lovely to have family around to help & to share in it all ❤🥰❤
This made me so sad I love them but Matt saying that about animals made me not like him 😢 they can’t work for them selfs so people need to stick up for them they can’t work they can’t just choose not to repopulate
Also, people see pets as family because you chose to bring that life into your home, so yes, you should absolutely do everything you can to give that animal, the best life
You guys should listen to the Yoga Girl Podcast. She just gave birth to a 9 pounds baby and did it completely naturally. The percentage of planned c-sections in the US is so high. It's worth questioning why..
I live in flagstaff and am starting a whole business on fitness for snowboarders, snowboard progression, and injury prevention. I know Matt snowboarders so if you ever come up and wanna ride lmk!
You have a 25 lb. Very dependent infant. You are 37 weeks pregnant. You have company and your household composition has just recently changed. Don't over judge how your feelings/romance quotient is now. Give yourself a minute. Don't force it, but don't throw that part of yourselves out with the bathwater.
It’s sad he said the romantic vibe is missing ot not there anymore . The thing is everyday you need to put more time and more dedication to your relationship . You can still be the exception . We are as a couple with kids , we just take everyday time to be romantic to hug to kiss , all of that because it’s necessary and becoming a parent does not mean you will be less romantic or whatever .
Abby! I'm also a first time parent and our babies are a few days a part. You're totally right about the sadness that comes with their birthday. Everyone talks about how we should cherish the time and how quick it goes, but no one talks about the profound sense of sadness that comes when they do hit these milestones. Which isn't to say we aren't excited for them and want to celebrate with them, but the flip side is that those moments are now gone. Helping our tiny humans grow is such a rollercoaster and I feel like as parents we do nothing but grow alongside them. Thank you SO MUCH for even mentioning this because it should be normalized and talked about more ❤
I have 14 nieces and nephews and one niece by law, I currently have no children. I've been trying since my miscarriage 18.08.2020👼 but I still have two younger sisters to also have children there are 8 of us😂
August is SO cute! Auggie or even AJ because of August Jacob would also be ADORABLE. I can’t wait to see baby boy and I love you guys SO much and are such a great family friendly channel. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't be the only one who has noticed each podcast that Matt repeatedly mentions how their intimacy and romance and PDA and infatuation at the beginning of their relationship was so much more fun and every time he refers to the state of their relationship now it almost seems like he's unhappy or he's like wishing he was back in the past? I really hope that they can figure things out because it really seems like he's unhappy...
@ ericaj2611 you are so right he seems to want what he had in the past with her and Abby is becoming even more reliant on Matt which in time can so easily become suffocating in a relationship. Having children usually gives you confidence but she seems to be so overwhelmed sooner or later she has to learn to take the lead with her children because it doesn’t get easier the older they get.
We had three girls within 36 months, my husband ran our business from our home, and he supervised our farm. I didn’t have help and it wasn’t bad. May I suggest the white plastic fencing. At Griffin’s age, the girls played with their toys within the fencing and I knew they were safe. These days, the same fencing is supervising two tiny toy poodles.
My kids are super close in age like griffin and the new baby. My mother in law lived with me for awhile and it was a huge help I didn’t know I needed. It really does take a village. It really seems like just yesterday griffin was born and now here you are right around the corner from having this beautiful new baby. Embrace the cheesy Matt, you’re a parent so it’s a requirement 😂
Matt is definitely a ppl pleaser, Abby. He was gonna say “life isn’t what he expected” and she got sad. And then he changed his response! It’s okay to be honest Matt.
I thought the same thing at that part haha!!
Minutes?
There’s a difference between a people pleaser and a wife pleaser 😂

Abby you just opened my eyes and saved me. “You can’t be 100% all the time for your kids but everyone can be 100% for a little while” I feel terrible asking for help, and what you said now makes me feel like asking for help is actually what’s best for my child regardless of how hard that is for me. I have 2 kids, 13 months apart also (Currently 17 months and 4 months) I’m so thankful for your insight, sending my oldest with Grandma today and making it a point to not feel guilty. ❤
Oh man, I love you guys..but big mistake! Sorry but you will hear about the dog thing. Just saying...
Auggie and Griffin, Griffin and Auggie - so adorable! Rolls of the tongue so nicely and it sounds like a title for a cute cartoon show. EXCITED FOR BABY #2!
We named our daughter Aurora, fully expecting that we would call her Rory 95% of the time. Within a year everyone else called her Rory and we call her Aurora lol!
One of our sons is Tobias and we planned on calling him Toby. 💙When we first brought him home, his 21 month old sister heard us saying both names. She started calling him Toby-bias. That's still a nickname almost 5 yrs later 💞
My nephews name is Tobias and we call him Toby
I'm literally so jealous. I'm married with a toddler. We have absolutely no help from family. My hubby and I haven't had a break since he was born, almost 4 years ago. DON'T take your family and help for granted. 💜💜
hang in there! my husband and I never had family help with our three, youngest now in college, and we found it really brought us closer as a couple because we only had each other to rely on. it is challenging but get creative about date nights! you can do it!
August and Griffin are spectacular names for ur children. Very strong, classy and vintage. I love the names! Great choices!
Abby just spends her legs 😂 😮yeah I said it
Matt, Abby, Griffin, and Auggie🥰 I am SO SO SO happy for you guys. your kids are so blessed to be able to grow up and learn from amazing people. Just know that you inspire so many people, including me. I’ve been following you guys since day one, and I’m so excited and so happy to see the little family you guys have grown. In case you needed a reminder, you guys are amazing parents. You are raising Griffin so well and I already know how much love will be given to Auggie. Wishing you the best💗
This is such a sweet comment!! Thank you so much for watching & following along throughout this journey!
“Getting together with people once or twice a week is not enough for me”- I could not relate less 😂
Same lol #IntrovertProblems 😂
Same . If I were her age again then I could probably relate more.
Same lol I’m lucky if I go out once a week. I’m a total homebody
animals deserve the same treatment as humans, period. they should not be placed any lower on people’s empathy scale just because of the “food chain”
I know. We are lucky as humans to be where are on the food chain, but it could’ve easily been us being the lower ones
When I clicked on this video my VERY FIRST THOUGHT was “it’s gonna be Jacob, I can totally see them having a Jacob” 😂🤩 I loveeee love love the first and middle names together! So happy for your little family 🥹🥰💕
Sorry but not so sorry how can you have a 2nd child if you cannot cope with first one. Wow you have a husband. I have 6 kids homeschool and am self employed and i am Single do it all alone no help all through my pr3gnancy and after and breastfed all my kids to 2 years😊
You are probably like the first UA-camrs I’ve seen that actually reveal the name before giving birth. Thank you for that 🩵
They didn't do it the first time. It's not that big of a deal.
I think a lot don’t because people are so opinionated and sometimes flat out rude, seeing the negativity from anyone who didn’t like the name might taint how the parents feel about the name and cause them to have second thoughts. If there’s a name you absolutely love, and then hundreds of people tell you it’s terrible, I’m sure your feelings and excitement about the name comes down.
they only did it to keep up with views
A lot of people hold the babies name for when folks actually MEET the baby. I never did it but I get why some people do. It’s not just a YT thing!
Not gonna lie I get Matts point but I've met a lot more dogs then people who are friendly so id much rather save a dog then a person. If someone went to attack my dog for no reason I will put them in the hospital because my dog is my family and I will save him just like any other family member.
It’s like you announced griffen yesterday!! I’m so happy for you guys!!! ❤🫶
Abby you say "well my doctor hasn't said anything" " she said as long as I'm doing what I was doing before the pregnancy"
BUT YOU ARENT doint what you did before the pregnancy... you didnt have a heart rate of 200 during your workouts before pregnancy.. I know if you told her that your heart rate was getting to 200, SHE WOULD NOT BE HAPPY!
No hate or anything I love you guys but sometimes for those who can't have children our pets are like our kids. We know they aren't human but taking them everywhere and all that is a way of coping for some.
I care about animals 100% more than I care about people I COMPLETELY disagree Matt. Humans literally have a voice and can say what is wrong animals literally can't talk we need to be the ones to speak up for them. Like literally tho most humans I meet in my life are absolute shit I hate people I love them (in tana voice) but all of the animals I've ever met have been amazing so I don't know what to say about that.
My nephew’s name is August. We call him Auggie❤
Your honesty is refreshing but, my God, it makes me nervous for you. Matt is sending out so many distress signals and it’s clear that he’s struggling. I think adult responsibilities have come too many and too soon for him. It’s obvious that Abby is blissed out by motherhood (which is BEAUTIFUL to see!) but I think that her fulfilment blinds her to the fact that Matt isn’t as equally fulfilled. My parents had their first child in their early 20s. They were divorced by their early 30s because my Dad felt like he’d lost his youth. It caused a lot of frustration and built-up resentment in him. 😔 Matt is already showing the signs of feeling old before his time. 😔 I hope that, unlike my parents, Matt and Abby can find a way through TOGETHER, but these things are here now (a big house rather than a carefree shack in Hawaii, the physical burden of all of the furniture and possessions rooting him down, two children by the age of 25) and I’m not sure how to have those things and also feel like you still have enough youthful fun and playfulness in your life. August is a beautiful name. x
@suez9553 it’s nearly embarrassing to watch you are so right he is giving all the wrong signals out there for everyone to see. Abby is oblivious to it all her reliance on him will become suffocating in time. Sooner or later she will need to stop relying on everyone and step up and be the mother these babies deserve
Is this a sign to try and go to bed or to embrace the insomnia?
It’s 3 In The morning for me
I agree they tell everyone your gonna have a big baby with my first they said the smallest she’d be was 10lbs and I should consider c-section I had her all natural and she was 6lbs 😂 but just trust in your dr and keep it up mamma ❤️
Y’all should do an episode where you do a 16 personalities test !!! That would be so fun !
Matt’s missing intimacy baaaad and it’s evident more and more
So thankful you have all that help. The Lord blessed us with 6 children. The first 5 were in 9 years. Our families lived in different states. We had no help. The kids are now amazing adults. We did it! Families are so important! Bless you!
I don’t have a village. I’m all alone with my 10 month old and now I’m 6 weeks pregnant…I have no one. When I’m sick I just have to suffer and deal with it. Abby, you are living my dream. I just wish my mom cared about me
Both of you really need to wear shoes when you record your podcast. Have you ever noticed how much you touch your feet.? It’s very distracting to me and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed this. Why do you always touch your feet?
‘Gus’ as a nickname is so sweet as well🙈🙈🙈🙈🌸🌸🌸🌸 Love the name you guys!!!!
Oh yay so Abby is a boss woman in the gym having a 200 heart rate.. that is stroke level... do you not know the recommended heart rate during a workout? Even the most athletic people in the best shape can have a heart attack or a stroke. When you are pregnant, you have more blood in your system, which makes your heart have to work more plus with extra weight your heart is working more... being in shape is great but you are actually risking you and your baby's lives by working out that hard!
DO NOT let “WHATS UP DUDES” die!!!!!!
I love having that og piece of the Matt and Abby channel💗💗 I remember watching you guys when you lived in Hawaii… some things need to stay the same
Name reveal at 43:40 😊
Thanks 🎉
Awh how sweet!! Our little guy’s name is August (Auggie), and ironically was born in August as well 🧡 the cutest boy name
Guys it’s August for all the people that don’t want to watch the video. August Jackob Howard
I’m not shaming but you shouldn’t do a c-section unless it is actually needed. It has way more many risks for mom and baby and higher risks for complications after delivery. Please talk more in depth with your doctor about the pro’s vs. cons and make n informed decision on your own. Not just what your doctor says. Not all doctors have their patients best interest at heart. C-sections are done far too often when they aren’t needed. I do love the name though! So so cute
Once Griffin starts walking you'll need a tracking device on him😂
Lol! For sure!
Haha❤ so what's the 2nd baby name? Did they reveal it? Or clickbait??
@@freedom4063they did!
@@freedom4063its August
Matt dogs r still furbabies n yes my girl is my baby she has human cousins, aunts n uncles n a nanny this who she knows my family I was not able to have my own children so this wat I have x ps I love ur vloggs n seeing baby go through her pregnancy n meeting the babies it's like a friend from the others idea of the world has given birth xx hi from uk
August is a classy name, good for being young and when he's a grown man.
Dang it! I shouldn’t have looked at the comments I wasn’t thinking, this comment completely ruined this for me :(
Maybe not include the name in the comment becouse this comment is right at the top and people can see it without looking in the comments or do spoiler
Than the name
Honestly maryjane could you just delete this so more people don’t get their surprise ruined I’d hate for others to feel like I did
Don’t include the name you spoiled it for me
Haha how does it spoil it. 😅 Just don't look at comments or better yet it doesn't spoil it once you hear their reason.
I love the moment where Matt starts talking about saving animals vs humans, and Abby was like "What did I told you?" hahah He was abput to touch a theme that is so complex and sensible. 😂 Btw no, i dont support what he was saying, specism is not good.
I thought the name would be Phoenix since it goes with the Griffin vibe and it’s also where you are, but this name is so cute :)
Pin? If you don't want to know the baby name don't scroll the comments! I did this and it was a big mistake.
i teared up when you announced the name!! auggie is the main character in one of my all time fav childhood books! i love you guys and i’m so excited for both of you!
WONDER
Our youngest was born 11 lb 5 oz and I delivered him vaginally. You can do this! Listen to your doctor but also listen to your own body. We can birth large babies, our bodies know what to do :)
Cute name! He may also like being called AJ too which is super cute!
Dont you think your parents should learn how to live by themselves. Yes its nice to help but to live with you is ridiculous.
Abby I love the way you gently stand up (sitting down!) for yourself & how you think and feel. Matt is always going to be ruthlessly honest and that is going to be a steady reliable. I’m v emotional like you (all the time, all my life). You are male & female & there will always be differences and not always (if ever) alignments in thoughts, feelings, wants. Women need to feel and be proud of the way they are, same with men, each honouring & respecting the differences whether of gender or character, no steamrolling please! I haven’t seen Griffin properly yet so am looking forward to seeing a birthday video (🎉🎉🎉). Good luck for the birth all of you, didn’t realise it was so imminent. Keep hydrated in the hot weather, put those feet up Abby! Lovely to have family around to help & to share in it all ❤🥰❤
Princess Eugenie named her first little boy, August Phillip Hawke
This made me so sad I love them but Matt saying that about animals made me not like him 😢 they can’t work for them selfs so people need to stick up for them they can’t work they can’t just choose not to repopulate
Also, people see pets as family because you chose to bring that life into your home, so yes, you should absolutely do everything you can to give that animal, the best life
You guys should listen to the Yoga Girl Podcast. She just gave birth to a 9 pounds baby and did it completely naturally. The percentage of planned c-sections in the US is so high. It's worth questioning why..
I love the name August and Augie as his nickname. Hopefully August is a mini Matt! Here is a nickname for Griffin is Griffey!💙💙💙💙
Or griff
I know people who call their son Griffin “Finn”!
I live in flagstaff and am starting a whole business on fitness for snowboarders, snowboard progression, and injury prevention. I know Matt snowboarders so if you ever come up and wanna ride lmk!
When you guys said August with the nickname Auggie it immediately reminded me of Wonder (the book)… I can’t wait for this little guy to be born ❤
Yes same
My Grandson's name is August he is 5 its from both sides of the family
Hi guys love from New Zealand I absolutely love you family can't wait to meet your new little fella 💙
You have a 25 lb. Very dependent infant. You are 37 weeks pregnant. You have company and your household composition has just recently changed. Don't over judge how your feelings/romance quotient is now. Give yourself a minute. Don't force it, but don't throw that part of yourselves out with the bathwater.
Dogs are people
It’s sad he said the romantic vibe is missing ot not there anymore . The thing is everyday you need to put more time and more dedication to your relationship . You can still be the exception . We are as a couple with kids , we just take everyday time to be romantic to hug to kiss , all of that because it’s necessary and becoming a parent does not mean you will be less romantic or whatever .
How amazing! My husband and I named our first child (dog) Griffin. Our oldest son is August...who was born in August! ❤😊
I think the baby's name should be UA-cam, keeping it real for 2023
Abby! I'm also a first time parent and our babies are a few days a part. You're totally right about the sadness that comes with their birthday. Everyone talks about how we should cherish the time and how quick it goes, but no one talks about the profound sense of sadness that comes when they do hit these milestones. Which isn't to say we aren't excited for them and want to celebrate with them, but the flip side is that those moments are now gone. Helping our tiny humans grow is such a rollercoaster and I feel like as parents we do nothing but grow alongside them. Thank you SO MUCH for even mentioning this because it should be normalized and talked about more ❤
I have 14 nieces and nephews and one niece by law, I currently have no children. I've been trying since my miscarriage 18.08.2020👼 but I still have two younger sisters to also have children there are 8 of us😂
August is SO cute! Auggie or even AJ because of August Jacob would also be ADORABLE. I can’t wait to see baby boy and I love you guys SO much and are such a great family friendly channel. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I Love How The Name Is “AUGUST” And He Will Be Born In August 😂❤ I LOVE IT
I can't be the only one who has noticed each podcast that Matt repeatedly mentions how their intimacy and romance and PDA and infatuation at the beginning of their relationship was so much more fun and every time he refers to the state of their relationship now it almost seems like he's unhappy or he's like wishing he was back in the past? I really hope that they can figure things out because it really seems like he's unhappy...
@ ericaj2611 you are so right he seems to want what he had in the past with her and Abby is becoming even more reliant on Matt which in time can so easily become suffocating in a relationship. Having children usually gives you confidence but she seems to be so overwhelmed sooner or later she has to learn to take the lead with her children because it doesn’t get easier the older they get.
It's funny how u guys said to share with grandparents put I'm pretty sure most people here don't have them anymore
Cant wait to see little August "Auggie" soon. What a great name.
Griffin is going to be a great big brother to Auggie. 👶
We had three girls within 36 months, my husband ran our business from our home, and he supervised our farm. I didn’t have help and it wasn’t bad. May I suggest the white plastic fencing. At Griffin’s age, the girls played with their toys within the fencing and I knew they were safe. These days, the same fencing is supervising two tiny toy poodles.
My kids are super close in age like griffin and the new baby. My mother in law lived with me for awhile and it was a huge help I didn’t know I needed. It really does take a village. It really seems like just yesterday griffin was born and now here you are right around the corner from having this beautiful new baby. Embrace the cheesy Matt, you’re a parent so it’s a requirement 😂
