My water broke early at 28 weeks. Told me I would be there for 6 weeks bed ridden. Baby came in 6days with less than 1cm left of amniotic fluid left. Natural birth. Told me c section. 89 days in NICU and baby is now 7m meeting all milestones and growth chart. Praise the Lord. Praying for a happy safe baby and birth for you
Megan you have so much to be thankful for, a beautiful home and a roof over your head, please please don't be complaining, so many are less fortunate, and yet so happy😊 with what they have! So let's try not to complain, God has granted us so much!!
I had twins in 2022- and our daughter had a VCI cord… both were growth restricted.. was seen every 3 days at the Doctor.. got induced at 36wks, our son had to be transferred to a hospital 2hrs away.. so I recovered postpartum In a hotel- asked God everyday- why me??… 5 days later we were home.. they are both healthy. Happy kids! And the experience taught me that there are moms out there who go thru worse.. and our bodies are amazing.. we just have to trust in God! Prayers for you and the baby! ❤
You and Josh are amazing parents. I love to see the children helping with baking. Praying for a safe pregnancy. Josh reminds me so much of my late husband, who could turn his hand to house repairs.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for you, your baby boy, and your doctors. God preforms miracles! My granddaughter goes tomorrow night to be induced as her fluid is low and the doctors are afraid her placenta is not working right. At least she is just a few days from her due date.
I just had twins 3 months ago with similar complications, and they are both healthy and sweet girls. God is so good!
My daughter was born at 3 lbs 6 oz and 4 weeks premature because of umbilical cord problems. What does VCI cord mean?
@@juliejackman2649
Basically a section of her cord was missing- the the vessels were exposed, it was also adhered to the uterus wall, and inserted on the edge of the placenta.. 😞.. it was so scary, and they wouldn’t allow us to go full term because If her vessels became to strained, they could rupture cheating her and myself to hemorrhage.
So glad your baby was okay! ❤
I hear alot of " its not perfect, could have been better" throughout your videos.
There is no such thing as perfection! Once one realizes this and just enjoys lifes journey, things become alot less stressful. Remember our children are always listening to the words we use.
May God Bless your family!❤
You have a beautiful home and in NO way is your kitchen ugly. I hate to hear people say things like that when they are so blessed. You have a wonderfully big kitchen with tons of storage. You may want to update and make it more to your liking but you have a lovely home and so much more than some. I enjoy seeing all the updates but no room in your home is ugly! I am praying for your pregnancy!
I agree!!!
@@jannier9766yes indeed!!!!
Agreed. I look at these bloggers kitchens and other spaces and they complain about how it's not pretty, or whatever and I am thinking.... They would flee the state, maybe the country if they saw my old, half done, half falling apart, holes in the walls and sideways counter. 😂 It's ok though, its a work in progress.
Sending prayers for you and your little ones..my little low birth weight son just retired from 30 years serving as a Special Forces Elite member. Praying Psalm 91 over you both ❤❤❤❤ God has this darling.
Love the red top on you with your dress! I am praying for you and the family that you have a safe and healthy pregnancy.
I love your kitchen! At almost 69 years of age, I finally have my dream kitchen, and as a retired elementary teacher, I finally have time to enjoy it!
I love your positive high energy-I have the same energy! I love your videos!
Hi Megan! I've been subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now but I don't comment as often. I love how intentional you are with your family and doing and creating memories for them. It's super inspiring as a single women desiring marriage someday, and to have a family of my own. Also, the top in the beginning of the video looked great. My prayers for you for a continued smooth pregnancy. Don't stress it. God is holding you in the palm of His hand.
Thank you so much!!
I personally loved the red top with your dress! Thought it was very festive and in step with the season. Can’t wait for the full reveal of your staircase and the decor on it. I feel like I didn’t get a real good look at it. I know it will be beautiful, just like your 🎄. Praying for you and your baby and your sweet family. God holds you all in the palm of his hand and nothing will touch you that hasn’t been sifted through those loving hands. May he also give you peace and calm as you “slowly” venture toward the winter birth of your baby. I’m hoping for February 13th as it is my birthday! 🥳 Whatever day is best for baby will be fine. 😊 Thank you for taking time to make this video! ❤
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your kitchen!! Staircase looks very nice.
From a gal that forgets to water everything…. Use Sprite. Yes the soda. It keeps the tree alive for so much longer!
Praying for you and baby! With my second, he was measuring in less than the 2nd percentile. I sat through sooo many appointments and tests. They’d tell me all the things that could be wrong with him that’s making him small and that we should prepare ourselves that he’d be a NICU baby. He was born at 38 weeks weighing a tiny 5 lb 1 oz but perfect, healthy and happy. We got to go home the same day he was born. It was very stressful but I’m so glad I had God to lean on!
I did not think that I would like the very minimal and natural Christmas tree, but I absolutely adore it and think that it is perfect!!
Megan, praying that you and the baby stay strong and healthy and for you to have peace and comfort during this pregnancy. Your tree looks beautiful. God bless your sweet and precious family! 😀❤️
Josh can take online free lessons from Marty Schultz. My husband learned to play when he was 55 and ended up joining a bluegrass band and they played for churches and charities and it was a such a wonderful ministry.
Megan your staircase looks lovely. You have a beautiful home and more importantly a beautiful family within your home. You have been on my "pregnancy prayer" list ever since I learned you were expecting. I have 3 people on my list. Love seeing all of your family and the wonderful togetherness that you share. Hope you are feeling better! Sending greetings from the middle of Nebraska!
Thank you so much! That's so kind!
Thank you for being real and posting each week!❤️
I am pregnant with my second and am experiencing some complications as well, so I know a little of how hard it is!❤️❤️
Keeping you in my prayers, especially during this time!😘
I love the dark paint with the runners on the stairs! And trust me, even if you bought land and built a house, there would probably still be things to change! 😂 (I know from experience.) I will definitely be praying for you, baby, and your sweet family. "Pray, hope, and don't worry" (St. Padre Pio)
I’m watching this video a little late because Your 39 weeks! I wanted to say I usually love being pregnant as well but my 5th and last pregnancy I had a subchoronic hemmorhage the entire time. It was scary to say the least and my anxiety was out the roof. He is here now and was born at 39 weeks one day! Praying for a smooth labor and recovery Megan! ( if it hasn’t happened yet!)
If you knot the front and tuck it under it looks so cute with the bump! Adorable, keep it for fall/winter!
Don't get on yourself for being too emotional friend. When it comes to our children that's our super power, it's an intense, almost indescribable type of love. That's what sets us apart in a special way from our Husbands (most of the time) in my opinion. Praying for you and your Family. I myself have all the rationality in the world but when it comes to my babies it's a whole different ball game. Give yourself some grace and you'll find the right balance of emotion and rational. Hugs!
Praying for you right now as I watch. May God give you peace that passes understanding.
Such a sweet video! Praying for you and your little man. That you will have health and peace through Jesus ❤
Hi Megan! Good to see you. I liked that red shirt on you 🙂
I know the stress of fixing up houses. We are still doing little bits as we can on ours. It can be fun to dream (I tend to be the visionary in our relationship also), but it can be a lot at times too when it comes to doing the projects especially while raising kids. Keeping it realistic has preserved my sanity while we have our 4 children at home still. With that said, I personally would just keep your kitchen as is for now. It looks very nice and doesn't seem to need repairs. Changing up decor can give a different look without as much stress in this season of life you are in. Just some thoughts as we moms tend to put a lot on ourselves unnecessarily when we already have alot going on.
Also, I will keep you in my prayers with the pregnancy concerns you are facing❤ I too wish us women didn't have to deal with the emotional highs and lows as much as we do. My husband is very steady in his emotions and so if it weren't for him, I would find myself in a depression or make some extreme choices probably. He has talked me out of things that I am glad he did looking back on it! He keeps me balanced thankfully. I hope you also can lean on Josh at this time of need as our men are there for a reason 🙂
Blessings to you all and have a wonderful Christmas! 🌲May we all rest in Christ's loving care❤❤❤
The red velour top looks beautiful on you! Red is amazing on you! Praying for you and your sweet baby boy right now. God, please bless this precious family and jeep them safe & healthy, especially the sweet baby boy❤ Love to you all.
Your kitchen is not ugly! 🤨 Your kitchen is what God blessed you with.
👵💜 I think you have so much you want to get done you are feeling overwhelmed. Take a few deep breaths, relax and look into the beautiful faces of your children. The bedrooms will get done when they get done. Take care of you which is also taking care of the precious baby boy. I feel overwhelmed just listening to you. This too shall pass. Love and positive thoughts going your way from me.👵💜🎄
Your children helping with the cinnamon ornaments was so precious! Brings back memories when I did this with my kids. Thank you for sharing.
I love the red shirt! It pairs well w/ the black outfit.
Your kitchen is so pretty. I have to show you mine and you will be like, thank the lord I have a beautiful kitchen 😂
Keep it!!! It’s sooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!! You can wear red velvet for February too!!!
I LOVE the stairs!!!!
The red top is perfect!!! And it IS ok to keep a few seasonal pieces of clothing! It’s the whole month (or 2) that you can wear it! Just like swim suits or valentines’ day shirts with hearts OR that same seasonal decor! Why would you decorate the home and not yourself 😉, you know?
And prayers for you and the baby!!!
My husband was the same way when we first got married, he did not want to celebrate Christmas. But now with 2 kids he loves Christmas, he loves putting lights up outside ❤

Megan, you can count on my prayers! I am putting it down in my journal and I will be praying for you daily!
Praying for you as you go through your pregnancy! Your house is adorable and I love your stairs! Enjoy Christmas with all its energy and joy! ❤️🙏🏼
I can tell you were a teacher in how you relate to your children and let them”help.” My daughters were teachers too it takes a certain kind of personality to do that well.
I understand the quandary with home renovations! We're redoing our staircase, too, as well as flooring. One thing definitely leads to another and that's why we kept putting it off. Your home is lovely and the choice of color for the stairs and runner adds the perfect cozy and welcoming touch to your entry!
Megan I pray that everything goes well for you and your baby. ❤
Dear Meghan.. love the video! You all have done beautiful work on those stairs. Love the Christmas tree farm🎄 your red top looked great especially as you tucked it! Super cute!
