Could you maybe compile a list of GOOD scents from scentbird?? Also, lip color?? 💋
I don't know if you are still responding to comments in this video but don't get your dresser from IKEA, Target or any of the big companies! Get it from family stores. They Import wood illegally from protected places and build them cheaply. They are so cheap that the weight is off once you pull the drawers out. Many babies and toddlers have been crushed to death by them and the numbers are rising. It's becoming a problem.
As a fellow spooky mom with a 11 month old and pregnant with baby #2…I am LIVING for the spooky baby content! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Ooooo fellow spooky mom and soon to be of 2!!! CONGRATS!!!! Also, I may need all the tips especially any advice on strollers/must-haves cuz we're planning on 2 lil gremlins as well!!
@@JadeTheLibra right now we use the Graco Trax Jogger 2.0 stroller and it works great on bumpy trails and I feel super fancy with it. Whenever my son was a newborn we used a Graco stroller system very similar to the one you showed in the video and I did not like that stroller at all! It started getting squeaky and couldn’t go on gravel or grass very well…so we upgraded!
@@JadeTheLibra I have no idea what I want to do whenever this new baby is here, they will be 18 months apart so I’m not sure what type of stroller would be best yet! I’m just going with the flow. 😅 I do have must have recommendations! The double zipper sleepers are amazing, avoid any sleepers with buttons. Velcro swaddles were extremely useful and muslin burp cloths are the best ones to get! They are very absorbent and super soft. As for car seats, we got him an evenflo with sensorsafe and I love it! It has an app that will notify you about various things, like if your baby is too hot etc. Oh, and one last thing…a car mirror or video camera system so you can safely glance and make sure baby is okay during car rides.
Are you going to get a changing table to change the baby's diapers ? Tall so you don't have to bend over to change your baby diaper. The stroller is nice. Sorry, I can't help on that. I had my daughter 12 years ago. You can get I forgot the name slang to put you baby in like you carry your pup in. The pillow where you can breastfeed is nice. Baby will get heavy holding him while you feed him. Good luck. I hope you have a healthy baby boy. I love it. You call the baby a little gremlin.
@@sararichey I read that anything you put in the back seat (mirror, cam, etc) could be a projectile in an accident, and to avoid it altogether.
Hi Jade! I wanted to give some recommendations for your registry! My mom was a pharmacist and something she noticed new mothers would forget to put on their lists were infant pharmacy things. Like tylenol or ibuprofen for infants, saline spray, an aspirator, gas drops, butt paste or aquaphor for diaper rash and gripe water. Everyone swears by the gripe water! I just wanted to share this because I still do this for any baby showers I go to 😊 It's something you don't really think about until you need it so I just wanted to share! So excited for spooky baby vlogs!
This is such a great tip, thank you!! I definitely want to be all set when the time comes cuz I’m sure nothing is worse than a pharmacy being closed when the baby is starting to show symptoms of illness!
I second on the gripe water lol!
Just wanted to say you absolutely do not need any pharmacy items for a newborn! Maybe a natural butt salve and that's all. Coming from a mama of 3. Follow your intuition and not big pharMA
Yes saline spray and the bulb syringe! My oldest was 2 weeks old my husband had to run to a 24hr walgreens at 3am. Baby had a huuuuge booger lol stuck he couldn't breathe and he was piiiised lol anyway yes! Get that stuff before.
Also nipple cream and breast pads if you plan to breast feed
Honestly for me, any stroller that's light and you can easily fold down, flip open and lift it in the car was key. Hauling all the baby stuff everywhere is a whole vibe. Your stroller is like home base. Has to be easy to pack.
As a mom of three gremlins my youngest is going to be a year in a month I would suggest a stroller that has the option of them facing you even when they’re out of infant stage. My youngest is very shy and doesn’t like people he doesn’t know and will cry if he can’t see us, it makes it easier for store trips because they fall asleep looking at you, and it’s easy to give them a bottle and treats 🖤
I wish I knew to get one of these when mine was a baby ❤
My nephew is 5 months and hates being front facing. He wants to see the world and will scream if he isnt facing out.
Girl! I had a baby at 40. It was fine. Also baby will be attached to you for a good 6 months. I didn't stress the nursery being done by the birth. Are people sending you tons of stuff for the baby in the spooky fam mail? I rarely used the stroller. Get you a super comfortable rocker chair to rock bebe. Love you!
I have the Uppa Baby and it is 100000000 percent worth it. My son is almost 3 and we still use it multiple times a day! The car seat function from car-stroller was always so easy and then the toddler seat is equally as amazing. I’ve had the graco and I can say uppa baby is worth the extra money it just rides so much smoother and on all types of terrain it’s easy to maneuver ! Thank you for taking us a long on your journey it is so special watching you both go through this new season
Hey Jade love the baby content ❤. I have 3 kids and we swear by Graco. Single stroller we have the Graco modes which converts from a basinette into a regular stroller seat. We also have the Graco double stroller which you can use 2 seats with or one with a bench seat for the older child to sit on. We love both. All the baby products are overwhelming, hope you guys end up making a decision you're happy with 😊.
OMGHOUL, the orange flavored drink for the gestational diabetes test made me so damn happy when I was pregnant with both of my kiddos. Tasted like semi-flat orange soda. After fasting until almost lunch for my test, it was glorious. Passed the test with flying colors. 😂
I felt the same way with my appointments I was always bracing for bad news because I had a miscarriage in February 2022 so becoming pregnant again In May 2022 felt so unreal and surprising. I recently had my rainbow baby on February 2nd 2023. I think it's natural to feel those feelings of caution. Just take it one day at a time and enjoy the moments
It makes me so happy to read that you got to have your rainbow baby & so many others 🥲💕
@@luzelenaaaw Thank you ❤️ 🥰
Thank you for this, and I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the joy and pain and reluctancy all happening at once! I’m so glad your rainbow baby made a safe arrival into this world, and I hope you’re having the sweetest first moments together 🖤🖤🖤🖤
@@JadeTheLibra It was definitely a journey. My husband and I are feeling truly blessed and we are enjoying every moment with him ❤️
We’re the same age, but I’ve got a 15 year old. The urge for more babies is so intense when you reach your mid 30s!!! But I really can’t imagine changing another diaper or doing another 15 years of school runs. But also, being a mom is the BEST.
Jade! I just found out I’m pregnant too! I’m so glad I get to follow along with your pregnancy as a fellow spooky ghoul 🖤 I’m gonna copy everything you buy 😂
OMG CONGRATS FELLOW SPOOKY MOM!!! So excited for you!!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🖤🖤🖤
@@JadeTheLibra Thank you!! Can’t wait to see your lil babe! 🖤
Jade, I too was a "geriatric" mom. 👻
I had my girls at 37 & 39 after miscarrying at age 35. They are now almost 15 and 17 (in need of gainful employment and less sass!). You are doing everything great, enjoy every minute of it. Graco was our go-to for strollers, car seats and booster seats.
Just remember no matter what stroller you choose, you will make it work for you! It's just the greatest time! Enjoy it!
I just had my first baby in October and I did a johanna Parker vibe w/ baby bats, moons and stars. Nesting and designing her nursery was so cathartic. It was the only thing saving me from having a mental breakdown from zero sleep and the constant need to PEEEEE. PS where’s your gray beanie from?? 🦇🦇
I have 5 children my favorite stroller was my last made by Jeep. Fangtastic stroller I had a double stroller bc I have “Irish twins” (born exactly a yr apart) 😂❤
That bish was durable I could trek it through snow etc… so excited for you both!! Y’all are going to be awesome parents!! 👻
As a first time mom and libra don't over think it! practical is best trust me i hardly used a stroller honestly i live in the midwest so just like 2 months out of the year when the weather is decent lol focus on essentials and don't forget your baby shower you get everything ❤️ is always that first baby that gets spoiled facts lol 😊
I have baby fever so bad, and I’m loving that I can live vicariously through this (cause I’m good with just one kiddo 🤣)
Never had a kid, don't plan to, n I am enjoying you talking about the strollers and keeping us updated with baby talk
As a mommy of an 8 month, I’m loving the baby gremlin content and am so excited for you both. Also I just converted from the infant Evenflo Pivot travel system (affordable and easy to use) to a Nuna Rava and Nuna Trvl stroller. I am loving Nuna and it comes in ‘caviar,’ super black and goth lol❤🖤
I had the Chicco stroller and loved it! The cup/snack/bottle/binky holder is NECESSARY!! You will use it for everything. I liked the feature of having my babies face me at all times, it also kept people from reaching in and touching my babies without permission. So excited for you guys!! My babies are already almost 15 and 16, so getting my baby fix through your videos!
As a fellow spooky mom of two and a medical professional you works in women's health, the diabetes/glucose drink i would pick would be lemon lime. It tastes like flat sprite. Love that your sharing you mom journey with your spooky content as well.🥰
Yes the lemon lime was just flat spriteesque
We nickname ours Gremlin too as she has liked to growl for fun or excitement since month 1. Gizmo was her first Halloween costume. Also we call her baby bat lately because she will try to hang upside down and just loves it. Currently she has just grown in her insisers before her two front so she has little fangs hahaha
Too cute 😭
As a mom I'd 100% recommend a stroller with a parent cup holder 😂 it's the little things
Hey ghoul hey!! You look amazing! Just wanted to say, I had a spooky little baby last year (around the same time you're due) so I'm living for your baby content!! Also want to share: we have an Uppababy Cruz and we love it, but we are city dwellers and use it often. This model does not convert to hold 2 kiddos, but it's more narrow than the Vista (so easier to navigate through doorways etc.). We also have a Nuna car seat, and a Nuna TRVL (smaller, lighter stroller) that we love and use regularly. With the Nuna car seat we just purchased an additional piece (not expensive) that allows it to click into the Uppababy stroller. Pro tip: If you get an Uppababy carriage, don't buy the bassinet (though I think with the Vista it is included in the price? I could be wrong) you can usually find parents selling the bassinet on Facebook Marketplace on the cheap. The issue is the babies don't fit in it for very long, and they're usually gently used so people want to try and get rid of them! All of the soft parts of the bassinet can be removed and are machine washable as well...... ALSO-- ghoul, in case you haven't heard of these websites for spooky baby stuff, please check 'em out: www.witchinghourbaby.com www.skeletots.com www.babyteith.com ... Sending lots of cozy spooky vibes your way!
Hey mama ghoul hey! 🥰❤️so happy to hear the little one is growing! We liked the Greco stroller with car seat option. You will probably use a sling for the first few months. 🥰
Hey Ghoul, Hey! So excited for you, Dallas, Neens, & Baby Gremlin! Love everything about your pregnancy situation! ♥️Your adorable baby bump, your quest for the just-right stroller, your food cravings, the precious ultrasound, your nursery plans, etc! ♥️
And yes! Neens will be the perfect companion for Baby Gremlin! Dogs are so darn smart. She will be so loving & protective, it will be very sweet. ♥️
Thank you for including us in your pregnancy/baby journey! ♥️
Thank you so much, Melody!! So excited to have you along for our journey and can’t wait for the spooky family to meet the baby gremlin!! Y’all have been my family for all these years, this feels like such a full circle moment! Thank you again for being so kind, thoughtful, and supportive it means the world to us 🖤🎃🦇
@@JadeTheLibra this 70 year old grandma (yaya) can’t thank YOU enough, Jade! Including all of us is so nice of you!
You & Dallas will be the best Spooky Parents! Please don’t ever doubt that!
Just enjoy this wonderful time in your lives. Just when you think your heart can’t love any more than you already do, along comes precious baby boy gremlin!! 💙🧡👶🏼Yay!☺️
Get whatever stroller that the carseat moves directly from the car and snaps into the stroller. You DO NOT want a fancy stroller with a bassinet only that requires you to take a sleeping or warm baby out of the seat to put in the stroller. Particularly in the Midwest, we didn’t use a stroller to just go out and about in the winter anyway. We loved the simple Graco seat with the caddy stroller!
I don’t want kids myself but this journey is still interesting to follow. Thanks for bringing us along. 🖤
I hated hearing I was having a geriatric pregnancy. LOL. But my son was born when I was 38 and 20 years later, he's wonderful. I can't recommend a flavor for the diabetes test, because I don't think I had a choice. Due to family history, I had a lot of holding my breath and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Just remember to breathe and enjoy every moment of this time. As for the nursery, you don't have to have everything done. I loved having the car seat/stroller combo. My kid slept in his car seat more than once when we traveled. Relax. You're going to rock this. Congratulations again.
They didn't let me choose my flavor for the diabetes test. But I remember it tasted just like mountain dew live wire. I really liked it and I was excited because I hadn't been able to have one because of the caffeine while I was pregnant so I enjoyed it. And I felt fine after I drank it.
Congratulations on your gremlin! Double stroller all the way, that way you have room for Mr. Skeleton! Lol 😂
😂😂😂 BEST IDEA EVER!! Mr. Skeleton will be so excited!
I realized (I was GERIATRIC pregnancy too and my girls are fine 😁) when people hear you’re pregnant they LOOOVVVEEE to tell you their horror stories!! 😲. Put only positive vibes out into the universe and celebrate he is great!!! 😁😁
I love the aesthetic for the nursery! I have three girls and I learned very quickly that purchasing a light weight stroller is the way to go. It gets to be a bit much when taking it in and out of the car. Can’t wait for the next vlog!
Hey Ghoul Hey! Imo getting baby items slightly used from friends and family that's slightly used/never used is an option 😅
For the record, I fully accept Neens' "chuff" as a "bye-bye"! 🥰
I were have baby boy but now my son is 19 years old. My parents and other family help us to buy baby things. I buy some toys and clothes when he grow up fast. My family support us. I love them all my life. It’s pretty hard for me and wild my son. I love my son. Only one I have. No baby. Oh you need stroller & car seat and also crib bed you need to get ready. I am so excited. How many months pregnant now? 👍😊😘🤟🏾🙌🏽🖤📱👶 baby shower!
I have that IKEA Dresser, and I use the top as my babies main changing table (got one of the cheap foam formed ones off amazon, cover it with cute covers). It has saved my back, and I'm only 5foot 6in, the regular changing tables are sever inches shorter! ALSO! at IKEA definitely get the SKUBB Drawer organizers for the dresser!
As foor stroller combo, I got Britax B-Free & B-Safe Gen2 FlexFit Travel System - Midnight, it is all black, and rolls really well, and the handle bar is adjustable so it rotates to go higher! Also love that the stroller folds really easy and opens well too. I love the large SOLID rubber wheels, no way for them to get a flat! the only negative is that the stroller doesn't have it's own baby handle bar across the seat for the baby, and I added a "hanging" basket with cup holders for the handlebars.
I love a stroller that can transition so when your baby becomes a toddler you won't have to go out and buy another one also a stroller with a lot of room below is so convenient especially if you walk a lot like me lol it's nice for the diaper bag, toys even your fur baby's no joke lol and so many more things! Also I tagged you in Witching hour baby shop on Instagram I don't know if you ever saw it but it's centered on goth baby stuff I absolutely love it and recommend it! 😄🖤
Thanks to you and Dallas for inviting us all along on the baby journey! I am so excited for you!
Just go with what you like!! I promise they're all going to work for you. I have three boys through every financial situation y'know. I personally prefer the UPPAbaby full system; loved the bassinet for walks postpartum and my baby needed the sun lol. Yey jaundice. And we've beat the shit out of it and it has survived. Plus look on FB marketplace or a baby consignment. Also all black everything; Amazon, baby tieth, Etsy, and primary.
Ohmygosh I'm loving all the spooky baby content 🖤🖤 I'm unfortunately unable to have baby bats, but watching your updates and following along on this little adventure is so lovely
I had a Bugaboo duo with my daughters (they are 17 months apart - I didn’t updose my birth control when I stopped breastfeeding my first daughter lol yay surprises!) and it worked amazing for me. One side I had the bassinet the other side the seat. The under basket is HUGE. Needed with two kiddos and the Uber basket held like 20 lbs of stuff (how I learned the under baskets have actual weight limits lol). When it came time for me to not need a double stroller I was able to sell it for a decent price as well because it kept so well, even through two kids.
And I got it in all black 😁 pricey.. yeah but like I said after my stroller days were done I was able to recoup some of the cost back.
The top two frustrations I had with strollers... 1) Knowing and being able to collapse it down to fit in the trunk! 2) How often will you take it shopping? Larger strollers do not fit well in most shopping stores ( between racks and such). So happy for you and Dallas both, thank you for sharing with us!
Future spooky mom here & I am LOVING the baby content! Thank you so much for sharing this process! So excited for you both!!
I feel ya with the tall people issue haha my husband is 6'8" and I'm 6' and our two year old is wearing 4T clothes 😂 he's outgrown things that he shouldn't have outgrown for another couple of years. You guys are going to be great parents! 🖤 Also with being tall and finding maternity shirts, Walmart actually has some really long maternity shirts, including tank tops. I highly recommend! I'm completely covered when I wear those 😁
My favourite thing EVER is when I went to baby shower on the invitation it said instead of a card please bring your favourite childhood book and write a message inside for baby. I thought it was absolutely genius because let’s be honest a card can cost as much as a book and most the time they’re going right into the bin after that holiday/celebration is over.
I miscarried my baby bat on the 11th, watching your baby journey makes me hopeful for my next baby. I was so excited and bought a few outfits for them but now they will be saved and used for my next baby. So excited for you
We had Graco brand strollers but, our kids are 27& 25 years old so things are so different nowadays 😂😂 You’ll figure it all out…don’t worry it’s a maternal/paternal thing 😊My only advice is don’t do too many newborn size clothing because my son was 8lbs 5oz 21 inches so outgrew it within a couple weeks. My daughter was 6lbs 13oz and 18 inches so she wore that size for over 6 weeks
Short and sweet from a mom of 5. Never used the stroller... Used the HELL out of a carrier... I swear by it... And you already carry neens in her little satchel like a pro! 🤣🖤
I didn't use my stroller much. I baby wore alot due to ease and that's what my boys preferred. Online may have more colors available. Orange and lemon lime glucose drink, I didn't struggle much with my test, maybe a little shaky. Chico is also a great carseat/stroller combo. Agree with stroller advice!!
So excited to watch the baby decor hunting with you and good ole baby gremlin in his skeleton costume. For the glucagon, I did lemon-lime for both of my gremlins and it wasn’t much different than drinking soda
I love graco products and I do highly recommend a light weight stroller because it becomes overwhelming to unpack that and baby from the car. Congrats and I hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy!
Also I choose the orange drink for the sugar test and it tasted like orange soda and definitely not as bad as ppl make it sound lol
As a mom of a 7 year old and 3 year old and one on the way (due in August!) I went with the Graco click connect system. We got it when we registered for my oldest and the ease of the carseat clicking straight into the stroller frame and then easily transitioning into the bigger seat with the attached snack tray is great! And it has lasted years! We used it for my oldest, then again for my 3 year old and are planning on using it with this next one too! And you really can't beat it for the price!
I think the "Hogwarts" look, without going full Harry Potter, is called Dark Academia and I'm here for it! can't wait to see what you pull together, I'm sure it's going to be lovely ;)
Im so excited for you both 😁 you two are just the cutest couple & cant wait to see how you decorate the nursery. Def get his nursery done before you get too much further along. Im so excited I can't wait 😁😁😁😁
I feel ya girl! The gothic life can be a bit challenging. Hope you find some creepy stuff for the little gremlin!
So FREAKING excited!!!!
Oh baby moving is so fun and exciting! One of the best feelings ever.Congrats and love going on this adventure with you.
Oh my gosh I am so excited about this!!! Congratulations!!! You are one of my favs and I’m also pregnant and I keep watching videos about stuff like this, but there’s so few alt/goth moms that I’ve found. So excited to see what you found!!! 🥰
I felt the same way while pregnant. I am so incredibly blessed my son came out completely healthy, but the whole time I felt like something was wrong. Even now at 9 months old, I can’t believe I made fingers and toes. Like how wild is that. Lol.
The lemon lime is not bad for the GD test, hopefully you won’t feel sick! I had to redo mine cause I ralphed all over after drinking it lol I felt so nauseous.
Stroller wise, check out the Mockingbird! It’s sold online only I believe but it is awesome! They have some many different attachments and you can make it into a double stroller. I have two littles and I love it 🖤
Omg this is my fear!! I’m not good at drinking things fast or super sugary flat beverages 🤢 fingers crossed I keep it down! Also I heard they have the mockingbird to test out at target, so I’m gunna see if I can find one cuz I’ve heard amazing things but want to see it in person! It’s definitely one of the top contenders!
I have the Joovy Caboose which is a double stroller for older kids (I have a 3 year old in the front seat and a bench/standing platform for my 6 year old in back, we use it at Disneyland) and I like it a lot. It’s very heavy duty, seems like it’ll last forever, but doesn’t have a lot of storage. Longest story longer, I like Joovy as a brand for sure.
Here to say that the double stroller, for me, was only used when my youngest was still in the infant carseat. If you do have two kids, the Wonderfold Wagon (or something simliar) is where its at! My older one hated being contained in the stroller, but tolerates a wagon much better.
Love my evenflo pivot expand. It was easy to use don't have to worry about purchasing a bunch of extra attachments separately. The under carriage is a lot of room and easily accessible with 2 kids, I've seen a lot of moms with double strollers struggle to grab whatever from the undercarriage. And most importantly I was able to get this stroller in and out easily for solo trips. Also make sure you can fit stroller in car.
I have the same one and I love it.
Hey ghoul hey! So so so happy for you and Dallas. My husband and I are currently TTC. We've been trying for a bit, but nothing yet -- we have to take a break because I'll be getting fibroid surgery at the end of the month. Here's hoping that helps! I absolutely want to be a spooky mom , so thank you for letting my live vicariously through you right now. (I'll also be a "geriatric pregnancy" once it actually happens, haha.) Much love!
Omg yes woke up and get to watch more spooky jade baby stuff and ideas for my own little spooky bundle 🖤
Your going to be an amazing mommy! 🖤💜
You could spray paint the silver on the stroller. Maybe take it to a body shop and ask them to do it. Ooooh, they could do a custom paint job with bats or moon cycles. If a body shop won’t do it, maybe a local artist?
I have the Baby Jogger and absolutely love it. Going on 5 years and that thing has still held up. I find it really easy to collapse and pack when we're going places and the wheels hold steady when you have to push on grass or something like that. The snack tray you mentioned is also super helpful with a bigger kid, and it's really easy to clean which I love.
Not even remotely a mom yet (one day), but I've absolutely loved the baby/pregnancy videos !! It's really cute and wonderful to feel part of this new exciting and life-changing journey and I absolutely love how true the whole "what do I get of these baby products?" convo are because it seems so complicated. (and I just love that Jade is the kind of long-talker she is!; literally same girl and the insight is so fascinating/fun to listen to)
Edit: I love that Neems is adjusting well and hearing she's good with puppies was the cutest. She's a cute lil soul
We love our Graco modes stroller. We skipped the infant career but my mom bought the whole travel system anyway so we may use it for next baby. I preferred convertible seat and babywearing. I’ll probably just get a wagon when we have a second (or toddler in stroller and baby wear for the first while.)
Thoroughly enjoying the Goth couple shopping for strollers for "The Gremlin." So very happy for the two of you!!! Maybe the doggie will be happy to be an auntie, or big sister... In any case I am seeing an active roll as baby protector. Most doggies are very protective of baby.
Honestly Jade how often do you think you would be using a stroller? Your def a homebody so i cant justify spending that for a stroller that you use to run an errand occasionally or a visit to family. I think any stroller that is light and folds easily is what you need. So exciting!🥰🥰
Good point 😂😂😂 I’m definitely a homebody, but I plan on taking the baby on morning walks before going out Halloween hunting to get exercise and get the baby some fresh air. We have a very walkable neighborhood and a park nearby, so we will definitely use it but I’ll definitely have to step outside of my cave 😂🦇
My favorite stroller is the Graco LX because it has 3 tires and they're real rubber. Works great in trails and grass.
I had the same thing too!!! It was great… it held up for years with both my kids!!!
The all terrain three wheel strollers are the best, they’re the only ones I used for an extended period of time!
I have 3 kids, twins and then 1, and Graco makes strollers you can use from birth to toddler for a fraction of the price, I had a Graco for all three. The bucket seat would just click into the stroller seat (facing you) and when they outgrew it you put them in the normal seat. It was super helpful just unlocking it from the seat base in the car and snapping it onto the stroller.
Husband and I are hoping we get the chance to have a little gremlin or ghoul soon, so I’m loving the content! Can’t wait for Halloween decor hunting/spooky nursery decor hunting!!
Oh also the bob stroller is the best one on earth! You have to get the car seat attachment separate but it’s seriously amazing to do quick turns in the isle of tj maxx
There's a place called 'Long tall Sally's' online. It will initially take you to it's UK site but it detects where you are and you can click to go to the U.S. site. And yes, they have maternity wear! I don't know anything about the place cuz I'm 66 years old and not pregnant, I was just trying to help you out 😁. It must be the Taurus in me! Love your videos!
hey ghoul hey!! I loove hearing about your baby updates! So so exciting seeing y'all prepare for the little gremlin ♥haha. Hope all is well!
Gas drops if you use formula are a life and clothing saver. Congratulations on the baby !!!
I've never clicked a video so fast lol 😂
AHHH YAYY!!! Enjoy!!
Buy the white items and see if you can (safely) dye it black!
For the glucose tolerance test, make sure you bring a straw and drink through it. It helps you drink faster and it misses some of your taste buds. I had to do 2 of the one hour and one three hour test and every time they gave me fruit punch flavor, it wasn't bad just super sweet.
omg that diabetes test… depending on the flavor the orange is the worst flavor… the lemon lime one was the only one i could “stomach” 🤣 you and my sister are preggers at the same time and both of y’all are around the same age.
birthing classes with my first pregnancy was hilarious. i’m goth myself and looks on the womens faces when i showed up wearing spiderweb lace stockings, black velvet wednesday addams style dress, black velvet slippers with spiderwebs and spikes. all my skull silver jewelry and piercings 🤣🤣🤣🤣
so funny
i had a generic black stroller snd black velvet baby carrier. i had a stroller/carseat combo that i made new covers for with bat halloween fabric. i bought so many of my daughter’s clothes during halloween and in bold/geometric colors and made a bunch of stuff myself.
my daughter was born a week before halloween. i painted all of her baby furniture black myself.
target is always a good choice for good basics
Hi jade! Love the baby gremlin updates!!! I have the uppa stroller w the nuna infant seat w adapter, the nuna is super light weight ,, Great for my geriatric back
lol!!! The uppa is totally worth it,,, we just waited till after our shower and used gift cards & buybuy baby registry discount to buy it!! And now we have a lil ghoul on the way so will need that extra seat!!! 👻👻
I have a graco travel system and I love it ! However I stopped using the stroller a lot once my little one could sit in the shopping cart.Personally with my next baby I would baby wear as much as possible in store/ shopping because the stroller limits what you can buy because there’s nowhere to place your items! But if you plan on a lot of outings, trails, zoo, ect I would invest in something you love.🤎 Also I highly recommend a bed side bassinet. During those late nights it was so nice to just sit up in bed and feed little man and it eased my mind having him right next to me. I also recommend to all my first time moms a weighted sleep sack, velcro swaddles, and large burp cloths. Hope some of this info was helpful!!! I love that you are allowing us to be apart of this baby journey it’s so special! 🤎
They don't have electric strollers😀😀😀😀😈😈😈💑💀💀💀💀💀💀
You should get the sling to carry the baby. You'll realize how un stroller friendly most stores are. And you'll need to push the cart with all your spooky goods in. But if you do get the stroller you'll need a cup holder for your baja blast and Starbucks.
Yes! The cup holder in my son's stroller sucks!
I never followed the hype of stroller trends but i always went with Graco. All my 3 children used Graco and never had any issue with it. With the first child we tend to over spend then we figure it out and as we go.
Duo strollers tend to be heavy and take a lot of trunk space so make sure it fits in your car. I get wanting to have option if baby number 2 comes along but by that time you will not be thinking the same lol. Go for what its useful for you now then upgrade when the time comes and have figured it out then.
When youre laying down relaxing, take a deep breath, and listen. The baby will tell you its name 🖤
It’s amazing how when I look at my kids I can’t imagine their names being anything different than what I picked out!
Im due in September and we already bought his/her first Halloween costume 😁 it's a pumpkin 🎃 I couldn't resist and it was in special because we're in February sooo... Can't wait 😍
Awwwww!!! So fricken cuuuute! Congrats on your sweet little pumpkin!! Can’t fricken wait until baby’s first Halloween!! 🎃🎃🎃🎃🖤🖤🖤
Have you tried Hexannacht perfumes!? Best witchy stuff ever!!! Best scent descriptions!!
I have been a part of the spooky family for a few years and am pregnant and about 3-4 weeks behind you. Girl…. I DONT KNOW HOW YOURE FUNCTIONING?! Women are amazing. I have HG so I have been bed ridden, all food aversions, puking 10+x a day for over 3 months, weight loss, not able to walk some days… man this is the worst I have felt in my life. I am so glad when women don’t have to deal with this during their pregnancy because I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. ANYWAYS, I’m so glad you’re doing well and I get what you mean by expecting to hear the worst at appointments. Fingers crossed for a healthy baby for you and me both! Best of luck girlfriend ❤
Omg you’re my hero/a whole ass warrior for what you’re going through! HG is a whole other ballgame!!! The nausea I got in the beginning I was such a wuss about it!! You seriously deserve a medal or a huge meal you can actually enjoy when this is all over!! Wishing you a healthy and quick delivery!!! ❤❤❤❤
Personal experience...Invest in a good baby carrier or sling/wrap to use for chores and errands/shopping. I've also heard good things about the Doona stroller.
Also, completely agree about how hard it is to find goth baby gear haha I’ve used a lot of fabric dye in the past few weeks lol
My son is almost 17 now but the ONE thing I will always recommend for new mommas is a boppy. I freakin loved that pillow!! It basically became part of me. Whether you breastfeeding or bottle feeding… I highly highly recommend one!! They probably have spooky covers for them too 🤔 Take your pregnancy day by day… don’t stress about potential problems.. you’ll make yourself crazy. My mom always told me not to borrow tomorrows problems!! Love you Jade!!! And the lil gremlin ❤ Dallas too ❤ I feel like you all are family ❤
Oh!! I remember when my son would literally do somersaults in my belly!! I would put the remote on my belly and he would make it fly off 😂 The BIG stretches were insane!!! My son was 9lb2oz so he was reeeeaallly movin and groovin in there!!! Soak it all in! You’ll miss it!!
Maybe do a black old school type rocking chair.. like a black wooden one and either get black cushions or see if you can do a custom printed cushion!!
No kids but long time nanny...LOVE bugaboos jogger. Soooo many accessories and conversions. Shocks are amazing. But $$$ super nice though.
I can relate to you feeling the way you do about your pregnancy scans. As a fellow mom who had a 'geriatric pregnancy', you're always kind of expecting the worst news and then it's surprising when you're told that everything is okay. Just take really good care of yourself. All the complications I had happened literally in the last half of the third trimester with absolutely none prefacing that period, so it was weird. I'm not saying that happens with all of us slightly older ladies when we're carrying a child, but I believe it's statistically more common vs developing complications early on when you're younger. If your blood pressure is good and your doctor approves, definitely do some pregnancy pilates to start getting your body ready for delivery. It'll make a world of difference.
You're doing great, though! I can truthfully say we didn't buy many fancy or expensive things for our little one, as we (correctly) figured our son would be our only child. All of the items we purchased really just had to last as long as our son needed them and anything that survived got donated to other moms or charities that provided to needy families. We literally got by with an umbrella stroller that cost about $12 at Toys R Us (when Toys R Us was still around), though I can see the benefit of buying a fancier one with actual features.
I believe I speak for all of us when I say that we can't wait to see how you and Dallas set up your little gremlin's nursery. Just enjoy it for the first year and a half or so because you're probably not going to be able to do much in that room re: Halloween until he's out of the "grab everything and put it into my mouth!" phase, much less the destructive toddler-kindergartner phase.
So glad things are going good! What you're feeling is called anticipation anxiety. It's normal to a certain point. You can talk to your OBGYN about it
3 separate strollers. I used all the time. Baby jogger, compact narrow stroller, reg size stroller w/ face out/in options, roomy. I love them all according to the activity. Oh yeah, baby Bjorn!
You’ve been looking so mermaidy lately 🧜♀️
