oh man, I have literally never wanted kids but you reading through your diary of giving birth makes me so proud I am CRYING. You are amazing, and pregnancy and birth are flippin miracles whether I like how mushy that sounds or not!
I had a similar experience with Hannah Witton’s pregnancy series on here. She’s a sex Ed channel so she really goes in depth into the science. I don’t think I wanna have kids but I found the series fascinating!
Thank you for the breakdown of your past labor experience! I am autistic, and hearing it broken down more specifically is extremely helpful. No doubt I will be watching this again just to recap what you went through to get a better idea of a possible avenue that could happen to myself. I loved the example of the midwife touching where to push, that seems extremely helpful.
wendy, i teared up while you were reading the diary entry of marla's birth. wow, how beautiful!! and i'm praying and beilieving that the presence of God will continue to dwell with you and your family. wish you all the best with baby #2!!
I did post one Acloset update a few months ago! ua-cam.com/video/S0hF9uuJM-8/v-deo.htmlsi=SoM2MyJtaS94DnOn currently I'm on a break from it because the wardrobe options have dwindled significantly 🥲
Congrats!! I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant with my first, and I loved hearing your journal entry about labor and delivery. I wish more women talked about it! Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and private experience with us all 🥰
Omg this threw me for such a loop, had to read the title like 5 times before it clicked in my head. Congratulations Wendy!!!! So so happy for you both and wishing you a healthy pregnancy once again! 💗💗
Pregnancy topic suggestion: I would love to hear your favorite/least favorite parts about being pregnant or maybe any cravings you’re having. Pregnancy cravings are such an interesting thing to me! Also, I’m so sorry that anyone was speculating or commenting on your body. I personally believe we should never be commenting on others’ bodies/appearances or speculating on the status of their uteruses. I hope the comments were at least kind to you. Also thank you for sharing this part of your life with us. I love watching the creators I care about talk about their pregnancies and birth experiences. I don’t plan on ever being pregnant so it’s so interesting to me to hear about that experience from others. You don’t have to share this part of your life with us and I really am so thankful for you doing so. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and your family is all happy and healthy in 2024 ❤️
I just watched this entire video and remembered some of my 1st labor (mom of a 12yr boy & 9yr girl) I to was so exhausted after almost 40hrs of labor that I was falling asleep during my final contractions... I was so exhausted!!! Those 1-2min naps were ESSENTIAL! Congratulations!! Be safe, we all need you, and the baby too
This is the first time I've heard a birth story and not wanted to run! Thank you for that. I hope it makes soon to be mom's feel better about it as me.
I don't have kids and i don't know if I'll ever have but I felt connected with you and all the other women who have gave birth because of how you were so open about your experience thank you so much for that.❤
I’m gonna be honest Wendy. I used copilot for my October baby and be careful cause my coach kept having me do moves that would be bad and cause diastasis recti. The app just isn’t built for safe pregnancy and postpartum workouts in my opinion so I quit after a few months. Plus I don’t think most of them have any proper training in pregnancy and postpartum exercise Congratulations on your baby!! Your family is beautiful
Dear Wendy, I've been watching you for many, many years. Probably 10. As someone born with a uterus, but can never be pregnant, I appreciate you sharing your experience. Society makes me feel that I'm not allowed to belong to this ultra exclusive club. But I feel so welcomed by you. Thank you! All my love ❤❤❤
Congratulations! I feel like my UA-cam feed is going through a baby boom, which is super fun cause i'm currently pregnant and due in april! Thank you so much for sharing your birth story!!
Congratulations! I am pregnant with my first baby (second trimester) and it was so helpful and beautiful to hear your journey with Marla. I did shed a little tear hearing it. Everything makes me cry these days, but it’s so exciting and amazing to hear your journey and think about my own as well. Thanks for all the great videos you put out Wendy, I love watching them.
Thank you for sharing your first birth experience. My husband and I want to start trying for a baby and I am SO NERVOUS and SCARED. Nervous of the pain and scared that I’m going to be a bad mom. 😭 I know everyone’s journey is different. But hearing various stories makes me feel a bit better. My best friend just had her first baby and she was a total trooper though every thing.
Hi Wendy, thank you so much for this video. Recently I have been wondering if I am pregnant (although my test came out negative) and I’ve been very scared. I really appreciated hearing your experience, it’s helped me to realise that even if it’s scary, it will be ok. It’s just part of life. So thank you ❤️
Wow I did not expect to be sobbing through most of this. I had my baby this past august and your Birth story brought me right back, thank you for sharing, this was so real! ❤
Congrats! I feel like all my favorite UA-cam people are having their second babies…and I am too! Second trimester starts today thank goodness, it’s so much harder dealing with the fatigue when you already have a toddler.
Congratulations! Best wishes for a smooth pregnancy and smoother delivery. 0:43 and I'm all teary, happy for you and your family - thank you for sharing positive news to end OUR year (yours must be over the moon, as I'm sure this is "old" news to you at this point).
Watching this recap brings me right back to delivering my son (a month or two after you ) and the part where you feel the baby going back after a push and the break between contractions it's getting so short and you just get fed up and push really hard so that you won't have to keep doing it - same girl.
You reading your birth journal made me tear up a bit because it made me think of my own birthing experience with my son who's 10 months. Your experience sounded very similar to mine, where it was very normal, but that didn't made it any less intense and difficult for us going through it. Thank you for sharing. Good luck with this pregnancy, fingers crossed it goes smoothly 🤞
The journal/diary entry/writing down of your labor journey is great. I remember all the things from my two births and even though I didn't write it down I talked about it a lot (to those who wanted to know). It was helpful to me to talk about it and I think you sharing will also be helpful to others. Thank you for that. Enjoy your pregnancy!
Wendy, I have been following you since before your move with your husband (I think?) and I am so honored that you have shared your entire process along with projects along with us! Congratulations again! Thank you for sharing such intimate details of your life even when you don't have to, It keeps me prepared for my turn!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience I know how vulnerable it can be but really appreciate as someone who’s never had a baby but planning to in the future ❤
Congratulations Wendy & Dan! Thank you for sharing your labour story because I had never thought of it. Praying for a safe delivery and that you and baby are healthy when the time comes ❤
Congratulations! 🎉 I'm honestly so fascinated with pregnancy and would love to experience it someday, God willing. 🙏 Thanks for sharing all this with us! You're honestly right about birth being so amazing and yet so normal. I think about everyone that's ever lived, and the fact that an astounding number of women have been pregnant and given birth. It's mind-blowing and wonderful, yet such a common experience. I loved listening to your recount of your pregnancy with Marla. It's great that you have it written down, as it's easy to forget details we don't think we will. Glad that things seem to be going well so far, and praying for a safe remainder of your pregnancy and delivery! Love to you all. ❤
Omg Wendy by now new baby is here and I’m just seeing this life update after accidentally switching to my other UA-cam account 😵💫 congratulations to your family! Best of wishes on your journey as a momma of two 🎉
So happy for you all! Every baby is such a miracle and I know that this one is extra special, too. Marla will (eventually) love being a big sister and you will find that since one child takes up all your time, two isn’t any harder. Partly because they will entertain each other and partly because you will learn to work smarter and give them little chores to do that really help.
Aw Wendy, congratulations! So happy for you and Dan. I’m sure this comes with so many different emotions but praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery. 🤍
Congratulations! I am pregnant with my first and I felt a special kind of joy to be doing this with someone else. So grateful you are sharing your journey, because it makes it less scary for me! ❤
This really brought me back immediately to my own birth experience (even though it was different!) and brought me to tears. Birth is such an incredibly vulnerable and magical thing that is also quite ordinary. Thank you so much for sharing and wishing you health and happiness with number 2!
oh Wendy, im so excited for you! congratulations! I recently found out I'm also pregnant and i dont know why but i thought about covid times and how comforting your videos were and how you shared your pregnancy throughout that. wishing you all the best! 💕
Congratulations! I had my first a few months ago and it was so helpful to learn about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum (and breastfeeding!) beforehand so I felt empowered to make decisions. Hearing other’s experiences was similarly helpful, especially if they had a positive birth experience. Love that you’re sharing yours! What is something you plan on doing differently this time around?
Congratulations Wendy! You are an incredible mother and because of that, Marla will be a lovely big sister! My kiddos are abt the same age difference and we love the way they love and interact with each other.
Congratulations Wendy and Dan. I’m a first time Mum currently 32 weeks pregnant. I loved watching this little update. Thank you for sharing your birth experience.
Thank you so much for sharing! Especially reading through your birth experience. I’m pregnant with my first and soaking up all of these stories to feel as prepared as possible for the hardest thing my body has ever done
Oh wow! Congratulations Wendy! I somehow thought this video was some kind of throwback and didn't realise you are pregnant! I have two kids and it's a joy 🥰 Of course going from 1 kid to 2 is a change but it's been absolutely a wonder to follow my two boys to grow to love each other and be friends. I wish all the best for you and your lovely family ❤
Congratulations! I'm a regular follower of your channel - and honestly - I didn't even notice the beginnings of a baby bump. It's been fun watching your life's journey and being the beneficiary of your the talent and creativity you share here on the tube. Wishing you a peaceful pregnancy!
I thought UA-cam was glitching out thinking this was an old video about your first 😭!!!! Im gobsmacked is not omg 🎉❤️! I’m so unbelievably excited for you and this journey you’re on. Sending the absolute best vibes and hoping that everything goes as smoothly as possible without any unexpecteds 🫶💗💖
I’m currently 33 weeks, so thank you for sharing your labor story! I’ve been watching all of your videos at night when I can’t sleep and you’re so calming. Plus I just adore all of your creations! Congratulations!
Congrats Wendy, and thank you for sharing your past experience with Marla's birth! Its not for another 3ish years before we plan to have a kid, but I would love to know how Dan prepared himself during your first pregnancy and what he found the most useful - did you read/listen/watch related content together, did he do any extra research on his own contrasting dad vs mum's perspectives etc.? Sending love from Singapore and hoping that it will be a smooth journey for you and the family!
Is it strange that the description of her labor gave me the warm fuzzies for the birth of my son so difficult but it was so beautiful and I feel all the love for my son again!
Hi Wendy, congrats! I’m a new subscriber and was surprised by this video. The vulnerability and detailed account of your first labor was so touching. Your experience brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing. I haven’t had children but would like to and am inspired to also have a diary about the experience. I’m in awe of how strong you are and all those that go through labor.
Thankyou for sharing this. There is a lot of stigma around childbirth and pregnancy in general. I feel relieved to know more about it through your experience. Personally, I have always been scared of the whole thing but I do wish to go through it one day in the future. Seeing a familiar face share their experience about it reassures me in many ways. Lots of Love and stay happy, stay safe.
Hi Wendy, so sweet to hear you read through your birth story. I gave birth a month or two after you, and I also used the same midwives and hospital as you, so it seems surreal to see you going through it again! I'm so unsure about baby #2, so this video had helped me reflect on that. All my best to your little growing family
This is so precious ❤ thank you for sharing so honestly. As someone studying in nursing your respect and kind tone towards the healthcare community warmed my heart. It can be a very difficult journey and scary to navigate and your words will be wisdom to many. The diary idea is genius! Very on point for you haha. I love it!
Addie Gunnan of Well-Loved and her husband posted a video last month of their first birth. She was unmedicated and hearing the husband's perspective was special. Honestly makes me want a baby. I hope everything goes well with you, I recently started watching your channel
Wendy! Congratulations!!!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! As a labor and delivery nurse I could picture everything you were going through. You are so strong and you are absolutely amazing! Congratulations again and happy holidays to you and yours!
Congratulations! Listening to you read your journal entry about Marla’s birth was so vulnerable and empowering. It reminded me of my son’s birth experience. Wishing you a smooth rest of your pregnancy!
Thank you for sharing the experience of your first time giving birth, Wendy and for writing it in such a lovely evocative and true way. I feel so touched that you decided to share that with us. Congratulations on your second pregnancy!
Happy 2nd pregnancy!!! I'm so happy for you and the fam! That's fantastic and I'm glad with your workouts and hubby support you're feeling good. Continued good health, peace and joy!!!
I saw the title and was like “Did I miss something???” Congratulations Wendy & Dan! Praying for a safe pregnancy and delivery 🙏🏽
same 😅
Same 😂
Same
It’s a privilege that you share these parts of your life with us. Thank you, and wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Best wishes 🥰🥰

Thank you so much for being so honest and vulnerable about Marla’s birth - hearing from other women’s experiences makes me feel more ready
My cats knew before I knew I was pregnant. Clever floofers. Happy for you. Go, girl, keep that body healthy.
Thank you for the breakdown of your past labor experience! I am autistic, and hearing it broken down more specifically is extremely helpful. No doubt I will be watching this again just to recap what you went through to get a better idea of a possible avenue that could happen to myself.
I loved the example of the midwife touching where to push, that seems extremely helpful.
Congratulations Wendy! I’m praying you have a healthy pregnancy and birth, and the best wishes with life alongside this journey 💗
As an old labor and delivery nurse, I really appreciate your blow by blow, as you experienced it. Thank you for sharing. 😊❤
wendy, i teared up while you were reading the diary entry of marla's birth. wow, how beautiful!! and i'm praying and beilieving that the presence of God will continue to dwell with you and your family. wish you all the best with baby #2!!
For a while, I was wondering what happened to the Acloset update, but now I see there was a way better update for us. Congrats!
I did post one Acloset update a few months ago! ua-cam.com/video/S0hF9uuJM-8/v-deo.htmlsi=SoM2MyJtaS94DnOn currently I'm on a break from it because the wardrobe options have dwindled significantly 🥲
@@withwendythere must be some sort of clothing share site for pregnancy?!?! if not you should start one!
Congrats!! I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant with my first, and I loved hearing your journal entry about labor and delivery. I wish more women talked about it! Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable and private experience with us all 🥰
Addie from Well-Loved recently posted a video about her unmedicated birth. It made me want to be pregnant
Love that Sagwa is super cuddly. The pets always know right away, especially cats.
Omg this threw me for such a loop, had to read the title like 5 times before it clicked in my head.

I just clicked off the nursery makeover video where you talked about the possibility of baby #2! What timing! So happy for you!
The birth story was beautifully done. And falling asleep between major contractions - I was equally surprised! It was such a relief. God is good.
I just watched this entire video and remembered some of my 1st labor (mom of a 12yr boy & 9yr girl) I to was so exhausted after almost 40hrs of labor that I was falling asleep during my final contractions...

Oh!! Congratulations! Such a beautiful soul you are. Thank you for sharing Wendy

How utterly beautiful - the description of your birth story. God bless you with this new little one coming! How wonderful
cried almost this entire time lol. so grateful for your vulnerability
Congrats! I feel like all my favorite UA-cam people are having their second babies…and I am too! Second trimester starts today thank goodness, it’s so much harder dealing with the fatigue when you already have a toddler.
Congratulations! And I just love that you blur your child's face!
Wendy's so darn crafty, making looks and people and stuff. Congratulations!
Congratulations!! Would love to hear more about the differences with being pregnant with a toddler/how the 2nd pregnancy is vs 1st. ❤
Praying for a smooth and safe pregnancy, labor, and delivery. So happy for you and your growing family. ❤✨
Congratulations Wendy!!! Love watching your channel! Keep being brave!

So happy for you, Wendy, and for Dan and Marla too. Did you find out the gender of #2? When are you due? Happy New Year to all of you!
Congrats!!! I’m also pregnant right now, feeling so happy for you!
So happy for you all! Every baby is such a miracle and I know that this one is extra special, too.

Blessings Wendy that was a beautiful share

Every birth is so special, yours is one of a kind! Even after seeing hundreds of births it never gets old. It’s beautiful!
You're so special, I'm praying God helps me grow into even half the amount of life you have in you!❤❤
Congratulations to all of you!
Congratulations! Listening to you read your journal entry about Marla’s birth was so vulnerable and empowering. It reminded me of my son’s birth experience. Wishing you a smooth rest of your pregnancy!
