    Thank you for taking the time to watch this vlog ❤️ Would love your advice/input on so many things in this video;
    What outfits/spring trends did you like best?
    What should I prep now that I’m getting closer to the end of pregnancy?
    Which names did you like?
    How do you search for/decide on names?

    • @TheJunsLee
      @TheJunsLee 2 роки тому +3

      Maybe decide on names by exposing yourself to hearing it regularly? For example, I named my cat Koda after putting myself through the test of watching Brother Bear haha where his name got mentioned A LOT. If you still like it after those tests, it might be the one! Bet any name you two come up with will be lovely!

    Advice for stuff I wish I'd known before I had my daughter.
    Whether you are nursing or pumping or bottle feeding or a combo get a rolling cart. Just a small one. Keep all your supplies on it. Keep a bottle of water, keep a snack. Keep wipes etc. This is great to have ready just in case of c-section as well.
    This is going to sound weird but with nursing and pumping wash up after even if it's just a washcloth someone can bring you and then dry yourself. Thrush is no joke. It is a kind of pain that will make you cry.
    Look at pictures of your baby while you pump, it helps 😊
    Take care of your back after birth. With carrying baby during pregnancy, labor pressure, then carrying baby after its punishment on your spine.
    If you want to nurse and have trouble find a nursing group. Find a lactation specialist. There are ways to help. Lean on support. Those ladies and nurses legitimately saved my life.
    Do not hesitate to talk to psych services. If you feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, angry. It is normal and doctors can help!
    It's OK to complain btw. It's OK to grow in love with your little one. You are just getting to know each other in this world! You don't love your squishy baby any less. The first 3 months is super ultra exhausting. You can do it. Ask for help if you need it. ❤️

    Feeling and questioning whether you are ready to be a mother is totally normal, everyone questions it because it can be very scary. But from the point of view from your viewers, you are ready, you are meant to be a mother, and will be a fantastic one. The love you and Tom have for this baby and how hard you fought to have this life shows how ready you are. Remember that no parent is ever ready to be a parent till they become parents. It’s a part of life that you can never truly be prepared for, it’s a whole new human, you don’t know how they will be or the challenges you will face. All you can do is love your child and be there with you husband to teach them what you know and learn from them. If anyone deserves to be a mother it’s you. You’ve got this so don’t doubt yourself!

He wasn't even 6 yet. So asking other people for some ideas is also an option. Only if those people aren't the type that then demands you choose their name.

    It’s weird they don’t want you to have “the stress of renovations” but having to uproot your life and move to a new apartment for a month or two at the end of your pregnancy isn’t stressful at all! (Note the sarcasm)

    Tay, I was just going to tell you from personal experience... in regards to the stress of buying stuff before the baby gets here so you feel more prepared.. All the baby will need is you lol. Maybe some formula and bottles, diapers, wipes, blankets, pacifier, and that's literally it. I know as a first time mom you must be feeling so overwhelmed with all the choices of cribs, clothes, toys, etc. In native american culture, we don't have baby showers because it's not recommended for people to celebrate someone before they are out of the womb and can breathe on their own. I know there are a lot of different baby/pregnancy traditions all over the world, and I enjoy learning about Chinese ones! So tell Tom thank you! But being native, the stress of knowing what crib to buy, the clothes, toys, room decor, didn't apply to me lol. It was freaking awesome and took a lot of pressure off. During that first month, seriously all the baby needs is Mom and diapers lol. Please don't stress yourself out too much!

    • @cinnamonbed
      @cinnamonbed 2 роки тому +4

      This is excellent advice, thanks so much! I'm just 2 weeks behind Tay, and this helped me feel a bit more relaxed :) I didn't have a baby shower either, I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of inviting people just for presents.

    • @taylorah6409
      @taylorah6409 2 роки тому +4

      @@cinnamonbed seriously, it's stressful enough just bringing a child into the world! Don't panic buy anything. Once baby is here, if you need something then buy it. Some of my non native friends have spent crazy amounts of money on things they never once used! Just try to relax and enjoy some quiet time before baby gets here. You'll be fine 🙂

    Watching this while my 15 month old naps on me 💖. It’s so easy to get caught up in all things a baby needs but realistically, they just need you. And probably some nappies, sleep suits, bottles and sterilser (if bottle feeding), and a next to me crib. Mummy must haves are definitely nipple cream, breast pads, a long phone charger, a snack caddy, and meals all pre-prepared. You totally got this 💖

    The fashion selection was so beautiful, I really loved the pink skirt/grey sweater outfit and the orange dress with the cardigan…beautiful pieces and the colors suit you so well.
    Currently in my second trimester, and we decided on the name very early actually… I feel like you know when it’s the right name, you feel a connection to it, it speaks to you… maybe you haven’t find the right one yet, that’s why you’re unsure…. Or you just need to trust your instincts. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect name for you little one! I can’t wait to know the names!

    If I may, as a Nanny, for your new baby shopping list:
    All the diapers. Unscented bum wipes. Diaper Genie (or doggy poop bags for the poopy diapers - keeps everything contained, trust me you don't want a poopy explosion in the garbage can lol) Bum cream (the first poops and pees for baby will irritate their sensitive skin) Don't use the powder as it causes cancer (why it's still being sold idk) Nipple cream if you're going to breastfeed. Various sizes of bottle nipples - each baby is different on what works best. Baby monitors. All the onesies. Receiving blankets. Be prepared for poop and pee spills, do over pack when traveling or even going to the grocery store. 💯🖤

    -Tripp

    Hi Taylor!! LOVE the vlog as always ❤And I just wanted to say that I absolutely love it when you show snippets of HK and your surroundings because even though I think I've seen all your videos I feel like I've never seen that escalator and its so interesting! I even love it when you just point your camera out at nothingness around the city so we can see the people/storefronts/food/everything! I am such a traveler and because I'm not able to travel I love to live vicariously through you and all my other online friends around the world. So yes please show more of HK even when you or someone near you thinks its "boring" hahaha ❤

    Also all I'm gonna say is pregnancy is special, don't feel selfish for taking time for yourself and enjoying the experience. You struggled to get here, so you don't need to put yourself under any more stress.
    As far as names go, have you considered anything in relation to the fact that he'll be born in the year of the tiger? I think the right name will come to you when you've met your little one, though.
