I'm 10 weeks pregnant and it's been hectic. I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, so I've throwing up 6-10 a day and have lost 19 lbs. I'm currently hooked on IV fluids and constant pumped meds just so I can keep some food down. I'm jealous of your morning sickness!!! 😭 You look beautiful btw! 💕🙏🏼 blessings to you, your husband and baby on the way!! 👶🏻
Headache tidbit from a mom of 4: Try a few drops of peppermint essential oil in a carrier oil (argan, coconut, or almond, etc.) rub your hands together and gently rub where the headache is, and on your shoulders / neck area. I suffer from migraines often, and even with medicine, this helps greatly. It will also help with clear allergies. :)
I love the kind of "one take" videos without the cutting and editing and all of that. I like it where it's all one continuous video. It feels more real. Congrats on the baby! God bless you guys!
I’m honestly so happy for you. I’ve been watching you since your engagement video which helped me help my brother out for his wedding so to see you grow into such a beautiful woman and now a mother is really a pleasure. Thank you for sharing it with us! And can’t wait to see the little one. He or she is going to be absolutely beautiful.
The pregnancy body pillows were a life saver for my back. I bought mine really early in the pregnancy and used it the entire time. You can use them a number of ways to help you get comfortable. Definitely a must buy.
So so happy to watch your pregnancy videos! I should be 15 weeks and two days with my first, but miscarried at nine weeks. It has been so hard to watch other people's pregnancy updates and see other pregnant women, but I find comfort in watching yours. When you announced that you were pregnant as well, I wondered how close to my due date you were. So happy for you guys, you will make amazing parents! 💗
Congratulations!! We are pregnant as well first time mommy to be. I’m 9 weeks 5 days. I been feeling sick 🤢 all day everyday day..I’ve been wanting to eat healthy, exercise go for some walks, but I can’t I’m not up for it cause I’m always sick!!! I just wish this weeks go by fast. Thank you for sharing.
I'm currently 24 weeks :) I was sick all the way up to 17 weeks and working with patients was so difficult. But you learn to get through it. Just make sure you take it easy and take this time to relax. You're brewing a little human! 😘 wishing you and your family all the health and happiness in the world xox
I'm 6 weeks and 4 days! I've started to get a little nauseous in the morning before work but when I eat it goes away. Hopefully it doesn't hit me to hard. I love watching your videos and keeping up with your pregnancy journey.
So thrilled for you two! Such an exciting time in life! I'm pregnant too right now but with our third. You remind me so much of me when I was pregnant with our first. Just know that all the rough times and hardships are completely worth it! You guys are going to be great parents! God's blessings and I hope and pray your sickness ends soon!
I'm 26 weeks pregnant with our first and we are having a boy! We did the blood test so we found out it was a boy at 10 weeks. You should ask your doctor about it. My insurance paid for most of it too! I craved cheese my whole first trimester...which is so unlike me. I didn't even really like cheese at all before so it was weird! Second trimester is SO much better than the first so you have a lot to look forward to. Congrats again and I look forward to following your journey! 💙💗
I am 8 weeks pregnant right now.. I have NEVER had honey mustard in my life, and I started to crave it out of no where and now I want it with everything. Pregnancy is so crazy in the way it changes your body. But such a beautiful thing. xoxo
So happy for you guys😍When I was pregnant with my son I got really bad morning sickness. I would throw up during the night time. The prenatal vitamins were also making me nauseous so my Dr told me to take half in the morning and the other half at night. Hope you feel better soon girl!!!
Lol I was smiling this whole video because since I've been watching you for so long its like watching my friend talk about how excited she is to have a baby! Cant wait to see what the nursery looks like !!
Hey Alex, Congratulations! I'm not sure if your office offers this, but they can do a blood draw and find out the gender at 11weeks ish (it's not just for gender but it can test for Down's as well) I'm a Peds Nurse and one of the doctors I work with suggested this for one of my friends. I hope you have a smooth rest of your pregnancy.
I'm not pregnant but I just watched this and loved it! 😂💕 I really like the straight up sitting down and just talking to the camera style videos! Love it Alex! Very happy for you both
Love you Alex and Micheal, so happy for both of you, honestly my two favourite channels on UA-cam are your Beauty channel and vlog, I never miss a video. I pray for a happy healthy baby for you two, and an easier pregnancy for poor Alex! Love Alex's style and makeup and love michael's humour. You two deserve nothing but the best!
Hi Alexandrea! Hope your day is going a little better with your current pregnancy symptoms. I would love more videos like these. Especially pregnancy fashion! Im excited! I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with my second. I've been very nauseous something that I didn't experience in my first pregnancy (a boy). This time around I've been feeling very tired and sick. This week seems slightly better. I can't stand being in the kitchen. Lol. Headaches here and there. Take care! Greetings from San Diego!
Girl!!! I'm so glad there is someone who can relate. Literally ALL your symptoms are mine. I haven't been craving Taco Bell, but I have been craving savory foods like burgers and steak. And ye bloatedness... Me too. Thanks for his video. God bless you and your baby.
Aww! I actually teared up when you said you could imagine the baby and you couldn't wait to hold and squish the baby. You are going to be such a great mom! It's so wonderful that your baby will have such fantastic parents!
When I was pregnant I ate Taco Bell once a week, craved sour and salty foods. I also craved tomato juice with lemon and all the hot spices in it and I had a BOY!! As I watched your I relived all my symptoms and cravings. I ate oatmeal every morning and it helped.
Omg yes those are the exact vitamins I took vitamin code. I also started taking DHA for baby brain development but check wit your doctor first ... good luck Alex 💙
VanMarie Hernandez same, with my 1st pregnancy i craved anything spicy and i never had nausea until this second baby. 3 weeks and its bad, everything i ate and drank I'd throw back up.
You look gorgeous you have that pregnancy glow so happy for you and Michael. I am right now 8 weeks pregnant and I have been getting nausea and hungry all the time
I LOVED watching this and my daughter will be 8 yrs old November 1st! I craved alllllll sweets with my daughter and I wasn't a sweet person before. I also threw up every single day for a good while. It was like a morning ritual, wake up get ready for work, throw up and go on with my day! I never had any nauseous feelings afterwards for the rest of the day. So weird! You guys are going to be the sweetest parents and can't wait to be able to see your entire journey even after your baby is born!
I worked at Starbucks through my entire pregnancy and even after my daily nausea went away the spinach feta breakfast sandwiches would cause me to run to the back and gag. Pregnancy is so weird but I loved it so so much. I had really bad acid reflux the entire time and the only thing I really craved was chocolate milk and my son still came out with hardly any hair! Love watching y’all’s journey!
I'm 24 weeks with my first-- I had nausea too and finally felt better at 16 weeks & now I feel back to myself! I also had headaches and those went away too. Hopefully you start feeling great too!
Erica McCarville I had horrible headache when I was prego (little girl is 5 months). And drinking just a little bit of caffeine would help so much to alleviate it!
Omg this makes me reminisce! I had my daughter a month and I can remember all the same feelings you're having now. Honestly, treasure the pregnancy, you miss it after but I'm still blessed to have my little girl now to cuddle 💕
The ONE THING THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR EVER THE MINUTE YOUR BABY IS BORN.. IS YOUR SLEEP!!! OMG YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER SLEEP THE SAME!!!!!
Not true!!! Every single baby is different. I have an almost three month old and since the day she was born she has slept through the night. Even at her one week and one month appointment the doctor said to wake her up for a feeding but I always forgot because I would be sleeping too. She's only kinda fusses if she's hungry or sleepy other than that super easy baby. I never even felt the whole newborn sleep deprivation stage. I don't even feel like I have a newborn. My first daughter was the same way.
I’m on my first trimester now and I’m actually revisiting this video now that I am 😅 I never comment on these but I really love your channel and your family and now watching all these videos all over again and actually being pregnant is making me so excited! Thanks for being you! 💕
I absolutely loved how laid back this was!!! It felt like you were just chatting to a friend and not trying to be perfect. I love your more “posed” videos but this was so refreshing!! I can’t wait to see yalls gender reveal
Currently 20 weeks with mine and my husband's first and we are SO excited 😍 It is such a glorious journey so far! We were really leaning towards a girl originally but we found out it is a boy and I truly don't know if I can imagine having a girl now. We did the 3D ultrasound and it was so special, I recommend it!
Every time I watch a video and they say "I feel like it's a ...." Then once revealed, it's always the opposite lol. So excited for this update, we are trying to start our family as well. Love following ya'll during this exciting time, it's so helpful you're comfortable sharing so much. Hope the nausea goes away soon, best wishes!
I'm so excited for you! You're 2 months ahead of me and I'm so happy we're pregnant at the same time! I've been really tired and my chest is SO sore. I've had some waves of nausea so far but nothing intense, fingers crosssed it stays that way!
Over easy are my fave too! The headaches are normal. It’s your hormones. The second trimester gets better. Your placenta will take over with the hormones and your body will adjust. If you can’t take Tylenol, next time you feel a headache coming on, lay down in your room. Where it’s quiet and dark. It’ll help and drink plenty of water!!!
Aw, I LOVED this video! I've been watching you since you and Michael got engaged, so it just makes my heart warm to hear you talk about your pregnancy! 😍 Congratulations again, and I hope you feel better soon!! ❤️ I'm sure the second trimester will be much better.
LOVED this update. I'm also pregnant and I swear you completely described all my symptoms and cravings (only sub Taco Bell for In-N-Out burger). Used to love sweets and now I'm salty, sour and spicy too!! I'm having a girl... so you never know. Hope you start feeling better soon. Also, the Align leggings from lulu lemon are fantastically comfortable and will grow with you your entire pregnancy. Xoxo
OMG I feel like we are soul sisters! CONGRATS! You are my favorite vlogger, we have the same birthday, and I'm 14 weeks and 1 day pregnant! This is just amazing!
I'm 16 weeks so this is super fun to follow along with you! I didn't get morning sickness until 12 weeks and it's been absolute hell. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! 💗
Your pregnancy sickness and cravings sound exactly like mine were! And I had a boy!! Hang in there, the first trimester is so hard. And enjoy the second as much as you can cause the third is not easy!
I’m 22 and not planning to have a child any time soon, but I do have to say I really appreciate these videos, your videos especially because I have a feeling that I am going to have a very similar, rough pregnancy like you are having, and honestly your tips and stuff will probably help me a lot when I go through all of that. So thank you and I really hope your second trimester is better Alex, it will all be worth it in the end. Give Colby loves of kisses 💗
I highly recommend the book “The Mama Natural”. It’s full of useful information about chemicals, the flu shot, etc etc. I just wrote about it in my first trimester blog! Congrats!!
I am 20 weeks and I was SO nauseous my first trimester! I still don't know what I'm having but my pregnancy story is so similar to Alex & Micheal's💖 love you guys, you will be GREAT parents!!
I'm 18 weeks pregnant and expecting a little boy! I just knew he was a boy before we found out, and I kept craving salty and spicy things as well. I was not sick at all during my 1st trimester, but I was always thirsty and napping. I can't wait to see your nursery. We just painted ours it's gray and the accent wall has gray and white horizontal stripes. I'm sticking to gray,white, and maybe blue.
I'm so happy for you. I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant and experienced a lot of the same things you have experienced in your first trimester. I'm also allergic to Tylenol so have to just deal with the headaches. I also been craving spicy food and even dream about it. I recommend doing the 3D ultrasound to find out the gender. We got great pictures of our baby and we found out we are having a boy. I can't wait to find out what you are having! It's exciting to follow you in your journey!
Alex you're doing awesome! I'm 16 weeks with my first, it's amazing and rough. All I want to do is sleep and be spoiled 😭😭 can't wait to watch you go through this journey!
Aw I’m so happy for you two! I’m not pregnant, not even thinking about it now because I just got engaged, but I love hearing about your journey and am so excited to watch you all during this time! 💗
Your videos are so helpful! I too get super bad allergies all year round and seems to have intensified during pregnancy, and I have also long suffered migraines and headaches. No one else i know seems to have these problems so its been nice to find someone else who gets it
I CANT WAIT TIL HE COMES !! Lol I’m nearly positive your having a boy too! I craved SO much spicy foods, especially like the fruit cups with spicy tajin and lemon and lime juice OMG, I HAD to have it. With my daughter it was completely different, I wanted sweets! I LOVE all the vlogs and I’m SO happy for you guys!
Congratulations to my favorite UA-camr ! God bless you and your little baby! Enjoy every second because the baby will come sooner than you think! I gave birth 3 months ago and already miss my belly !
My first trimester from week 10-15 was really bad as well, so I totally understand you. Now I am on the last week of my second trimester, it's been amazing so it gets better 😉 the only symptom that I have are the headaches. I am having a baby boy 💙 lots of love sending your way!
Alex! I had all the exact same cravings! Salty, sour, Mexican and toast haha My nausea got so much better around week 16! I still don't feel like I could stomach my beloved pre pregnancy foods like eggs, chicken and salmon but don't feel guilty (oh my gosh the guilt) you're bubba is getting absolutely everything it needs! Thanks for sharing your journey with us! X
I love following your pregnancy journey ❤️. When I had my first child I 100% felt like I was having a boy right from the beginning and that he would come a week early, it was such a strong feeling and thats exactly what happened 😊😊
Loved it so much! So happy for you and Michael! So real and honest....I loved that! Keep the pregnancy videos coming.....no matter what anybody says! Love you guys!
Our first trimester symptoms are exactly the same. I'm currently 22wks and 4 days preggo, and I was certain it was a boy because of the same symptoms you listed. I have a terrible sweet tooth and prefer cookies over pasta, but during my first trimester, all I wanted were spicy foods and hot sauce. I ate so much hot sauce. Four weeks ago my hubby and I found out we were having a girl, so you can never really tell. Congratulations to the moon and back... I'm so happy to be sharing this incredible experience with you... you're looking as radiant and beautiful as ever (and even more so now). And aren't the baby stuff just adorable? Warms your heart when you see them - makes it all so real!!
Love the long video and love you Alex!! So excited for you and Michael, can't wait to see your little babe when he or she comes into the world anddd the name!! Ahhh so exciting!
Headaches are normal in the first trimester from the drastic hormone changes, so don't worry if you can't figure out a reason for them. I started getting bad headaches in the beginning of my 2nd trimester and found out I was iron deficient and possibly anemic. Now I feel so much better after starting iron supplements!
Alex! So excited for u! I'm 8 weeks today but I was told by my doctor that headaches are caused by low progesterone! Get that checked out! Btw ur gonna be such a wonderful mommy and I have a feeling ur gonna have a boy too ❤️👶🏻💕
Hope you feel better. My best friend was nauseous her whole pregnancy. I hope that doesn't happen to you. I had a very easy pregnancy. I didn't even get morning sickness or anything. Kudos to the mom that go through that.
Almost 12 weeks pregnant and super sick!!!! For me, since I'm constantly moving at work I don't feel the nausea. But as soon as I get home n relax or if I don't eat, forget it. The bathroom is my BFF!!! I love salt n vinager chips! Sooooo gooooooddddddddd I had those vitamins, not the best. Pills are better lol. I can't wait to see what Little Alex&Michael will look like!! ❤️❤️
if you have a girl you HAVEEEE to get her bows from Baby Bling Bows. they are my fav for my 2 month old daughter, we seriously get compliments on them every day! they dont dig in & they are sooo soft & stretchy.
I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I've been taking lesman prenatal vitamins and they're good. Kinda on the expensive side but I heard they're the best. God bless on your pregnancy!!!
Also, try the app ovia. They answers most of my questions. Regarding the lower back pains, they said try not to sleep on your back coz the baby is getting heavy and the weight on your tummy affects your back. Instead sleep on your side especially left side coz that's where the baby's heartbeat is and put pillows in between your legs. It helped me a lot. I used to have so much pain in my lower back.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula, and one thing I always recommend to my clients to read is The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin, and Ina May Gaskin’s Guide To Childbirth. “What To Expect” is crap and full of scare tactics and outdated information. I also (obviously) recommend hiring a doula as they can help you navigate your options and answer all your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum questions! Best of luck to you 💕
Just watching this now!! I’m pregnant only 9 weeks along. And the sickness is REAL. I feel your pain and I cannot wait til it’s over. Also have the same app lol.
You can try peppermint oil for your headaches! Also, sometimes when I feel nauseous I put a drop of peppermint oil ( check to make sure you can ingest- Doterra brand) on my toothbrush and brush my teeth,it really helps.
If you are able to get your hands on motts Clamato juice you should totally do that for a “Bloody Mary” - Caesar’s as they are in Canada. Clamato, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, pickle juice and celery salt soooo good
I'm glad you're feeling a little better. I loved watching this video! I read some of the comments about showing your baby bump in all of your pregnancy videos, I think that is a great idea! 💛
I’m 33 weeks! Enjoy every second! Headaches are from your hormones and fluid volume change. I have the saaaame cravings and I’m having a boy 😍 you can always do genetic testing to find out what your having you can do that at 16 weeks!
Still so excited for you guys!! I’m 30 weeks now and I’m getting anxious! I have all of baby girls things ready to go I’m just waiting on her. I keep buying clothes tho. I just can’t help it. It’s all good cuteee as of now the only thing killing me is my back pain. I have such bad back pain I can’t deal. I literally can’t do ANYTHING with out it hurting. It’s pathetic but my husband reminds me it’s okay. I’m pregnant! My husband is a lot of help like Michael. I can’t wait to keep seeing these type of videos from you. Congrats again!! 😘
Also, just wanted to let you know my very fav maternity clothes were all from H&M, they had the very best jeans - actually looked stylish and not like 'maternity' jeans. Lots of fits and washes, distressed jeans, etc. And it's nice their clothing is affordable since you only wear them for a season.
If you decide to go get an ultrasound before 20 weeks, we went to Baby Envison in Troy off of Big Beaver to find out the gender! They did a great job and we even went back after 32 weeks and got a 4-D ultrasound! So excited for you and Michael!!
So HAPPY for you both. It will pass Alex it's only temporary keep telling your self that. Ask your doctor for prescription vitamins. My vitamins were making me nauseous too. Also! Tip read what to expect when the baby is born. I never did. Idk why! It will feel less overwhelming when the baby comes. Especially if it's your first.
Girl, I am almost 10 weeks and feeling like death, nausea is no joke.. I have a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old.... this is a struggle lol! Sleep all day? I wish! Can’t wait for my 2nd tri. You look beautiful!
During my first trimester I couldn't eat anything healthy. Once I hit my 2nd trimester I got a burst of energy and felt like I could accomplish anything. You are allowed to eat deli meat as long as it's from a reputable place. Once my Dr told me I could I was eating all the deli meats I wanted. I also ate eggs over easy but I didn't do it all the time. I did eat a lot of eggs throughout my pregnancy as the yolk is good for the baby. When it came to sushi I ate anything that had smoked salmon, shrimp, crab. I stuck to things that were already cooked. For prenatal vitamins I used the Rainbow Light brand you take 1 a day, it's plant based, and it doesn't have constipation iron. I also took their dha vitamins as well. A 5 month supply is only 40 something off of vitacost. This is my first pregnancy I'm 33 weeks 4 days, and I've been pretty lucky in having such a easy pregnancy.
I just found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm so glad for these videos that help out so much! ❤
Robin33 1 found out yesterday I was 5 weeks! How's your baby?
I'm almost 5 weeks now 😁 been feeling sick yesterday but today is better 👍
i just found out i'm 7 weeks :) SO NERVOUS
Yagmur Fil me too! 5 weeks here 🥺
I just found out I’m 5 weeks 🙈
I'm 10 weeks pregnant and it's been hectic. I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, so I've throwing up 6-10 a day and have lost 19 lbs. I'm currently hooked on IV fluids and constant pumped meds just so I can keep some food down. I'm jealous of your morning sickness!!! 😭
You look beautiful btw! 💕🙏🏼 blessings to you, your husband and baby on the way!! 👶🏻
Im just at 10 weeks with HG now, I feel you.. Did yours go away around week 12 or did it last longer?🌸🌷☺️

Karen Hinkson do you watch her vlogs? She shows more of her personality there and yea both her and Michael are really funny . Lol
addictme, yes! Her and Michaels channel is hilarious! The last one with the straws....sooo funny!
I'm 26 weeks pregnant with our first and we are having a boy! We did the blood test so we found out it was a boy at 10 weeks. You should ask your doctor about it.

Love watching y’all’s journey!
Lack of water intake is the major trigger of my head aches :/
I'm 24 weeks with my first-- I had nausea too and finally felt better at 16 weeks & now I feel back to myself! I also had headaches and those went away too. Hopefully you start feeling great too!
Erica McCarville I had horrible headache when I was prego (little girl is 5 months). And drinking just a little bit of caffeine would help so much to alleviate it!
Omg this makes me reminisce! I had my daughter a month and I can remember all the same feelings you're having now. Honestly, treasure the pregnancy, you miss it after but I'm still blessed to have my little girl now to cuddle 💕
The ONE THING THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR EVER THE MINUTE YOUR BABY IS BORN.. IS YOUR SLEEP!!! OMG YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER SLEEP THE SAME!!!!!
Cathy Salas Agree 👆🏻
YEP! 💯 I never, ever knew what exhausted truly was until I had a child! Plus I was breastfeeding every 2 hours, I was a mess!
Sooooo true! Lol
1000x This! Sleep becomes a luxury. And good sleep? Maybe never again :/
Not true!!! Every single baby is different. I have an almost three month old and since the day she was born she has slept through the night. Even at her one week and one month appointment the doctor said to wake her up for a feeding but I always forgot because I would be sleeping too. She's only kinda fusses if she's hungry or sleepy other than that super easy baby. I never even felt the whole newborn sleep deprivation stage. I don't even feel like I have a newborn. My first daughter was the same way.
I’m on my first trimester now and I’m actually revisiting this video now that I am 😅 I never comment on these but I really love your channel and your family and now watching all these videos all over again and actually being pregnant is making me so excited! Thanks for being you! 💕
How adorable! So excited for you guys! Baby already has a ton of fans! ❤️
I absolutely loved how laid back this was!!! It felt like you were just chatting to a friend and not trying to be perfect. I love your more “posed” videos but this was so refreshing!! I can’t wait to see yalls gender reveal
Currently 20 weeks with mine and my husband's first and we are SO excited 😍 It is such a glorious journey so far!
We were really leaning towards a girl originally but we found out it is a boy and I truly don't know if I can imagine having a girl now. We did the 3D ultrasound and it was so special, I recommend it!
Natalie Binning if you think it's glorious now, wait until the baby is in your arms! Congratulations btw! Xo
Oh my goodness, I am SO excited for you guys!! ☺️💕
Every time I watch a video and they say "I feel like it's a ...." Then once revealed, it's always the opposite lol. So excited for this update, we are trying to start our family as well. Love following ya'll during this exciting time, it's so helpful you're comfortable sharing so much. Hope the nausea goes away soon, best wishes!
I'm so excited for you! You're 2 months ahead of me and I'm so happy we're pregnant at the same time! I've been really tired and my chest is SO sore. I've had some waves of nausea so far but nothing intense, fingers crosssed it stays that way!
Over easy are my fave too!
The headaches are normal. It’s your hormones. The second trimester gets better. Your placenta will take over with the hormones and your body will adjust.
If you can’t take Tylenol, next time you feel a headache coming on, lay down in your room. Where it’s quiet and dark. It’ll help and drink plenty of water!!!
I am so glad you’re both back in the states for pregnancy updates!!!!!
Aw, I LOVED this video! I've been watching you since you and Michael got engaged, so it just makes my heart warm to hear you talk about your pregnancy! 😍 Congratulations again, and I hope you feel better soon!! ❤️ I'm sure the second trimester will be much better.
LOVED this update. I'm also pregnant and I swear you completely described all my symptoms and cravings (only sub Taco Bell for In-N-Out burger). Used to love sweets and now I'm salty, sour and spicy too!! I'm having a girl... so you never know. Hope you start feeling better soon. Also, the Align leggings from lulu lemon are fantastically comfortable and will grow with you your entire pregnancy. Xoxo
+Virgette Mazzola I need to go get those pants!!
OMG I feel like we are soul sisters! CONGRATS! You are my favorite vlogger, we have the same birthday, and I'm 14 weeks and 1 day pregnant! This is just amazing!
that is so cool! congrats!
I'm 16 weeks so this is super fun to follow along with you! I didn't get morning sickness until 12 weeks and it's been absolute hell. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy! 💗
SO EXCITED FOR YOU AND MICHAEL!!!! You guys are going to make great parents!
Your pregnancy sickness and cravings sound exactly like mine were! And I had a boy!! Hang in there, the first trimester is so hard. And enjoy the second as much as you can cause the third is not easy!
I’m 22 and not planning to have a child any time soon, but I do have to say I really appreciate these videos, your videos especially because I have a feeling that I am going to have a very similar, rough pregnancy like you are having, and honestly your tips and stuff will probably help me a lot when I go through all of that. So thank you and I really hope your second trimester is better Alex, it will all be worth it in the end. Give Colby loves of kisses 💗
I haven't even watched the whole video yet but I'm just SOOOO excited for you guys! Ugh I can't wait for more of these pregnancy videos!! 😍😍😍😍
I highly recommend the book “The Mama Natural”. It’s full of useful information about chemicals, the flu shot, etc etc. I just wrote about it in my first trimester blog! Congrats!!
Jessica Johnson love this book too!!
I am 20 weeks and I was SO nauseous my first trimester! I still don't know what I'm having but my pregnancy story is so similar to Alex & Micheal's💖 love you guys, you will be GREAT parents!!
I'm 18 weeks pregnant and expecting a little boy! I just knew he was a boy before we found out, and I kept craving salty and spicy things as well. I was not sick at all during my 1st trimester, but I was always thirsty and napping. I can't wait to see your nursery. We just painted ours it's gray and the accent wall has gray and white horizontal stripes. I'm sticking to gray,white, and maybe blue.
I'm so happy for you. I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant and experienced a lot of the same things you have experienced in your first trimester. I'm also allergic to Tylenol so have to just deal with the headaches. I also been craving spicy food and even dream about it. I recommend doing the 3D ultrasound to find out the gender. We got great pictures of our baby and we found out we are having a boy. I can't wait to find out what you are having! It's exciting to follow you in your journey!
I'm Soo excited for you and I already know you are going to be such an amazing mom and Michael is gonna be such a great dad! 😀👍😍🎉
Alex you're doing awesome! I'm 16 weeks with my first, it's amazing and rough. All I want to do is sleep and be spoiled 😭😭 can't wait to watch you go through this journey!
Alex you are gorgeous,Congrats to you and Michael on being pregnant,you guys will be awesome parents.
Aw I’m so happy for you two! I’m not pregnant, not even thinking about it now because I just got engaged, but I love hearing about your journey and am so excited to watch you all during this time! 💗
Your videos are so helpful! I too get super bad allergies all year round and seems to have intensified during pregnancy, and I have also long suffered migraines and headaches. No one else i know seems to have these problems so its been nice to find someone else who gets it
I CANT WAIT TIL HE COMES !! Lol I’m nearly positive your having a boy too! I craved SO much spicy foods, especially like the fruit cups with spicy tajin and lemon and lime juice OMG, I HAD to have it. With my daughter it was completely different, I wanted sweets! I LOVE all the vlogs and I’m SO happy for you guys!
You're glowing Alex so pretty! So happy for you and Michael you're both going to be great parents. Hope you'll start feeling better soon💛
Congratulations to my favorite UA-camr ! God bless you and your little baby! Enjoy every second because the baby will come sooner than you think! I gave birth 3 months ago and already miss my belly !
Loved this video! I have two little boys, but now your making me want another with all the baby talk and cute baby stuff! :)
My first trimester from week 10-15 was really bad as well, so I totally understand you. Now I am on the last week of my second trimester, it's been amazing so it gets better 😉 the only symptom that I have are the headaches. I am having a baby boy 💙 lots of love sending your way!
Alex! I had all the exact same cravings! Salty, sour, Mexican and toast haha
My nausea got so much better around week 16! I still don't feel like I could stomach my beloved pre pregnancy foods like eggs, chicken and salmon but don't feel guilty (oh my gosh the guilt) you're bubba is getting absolutely everything it needs!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us! X
Clamato juice is sooooo good too! Def recommend you try it!
I love following your pregnancy journey ❤️. When I had my first child I 100% felt like I was having a boy right from the beginning and that he would come a week early, it was such a strong feeling and thats exactly what happened 😊😊
Loved it so much! So happy for you and Michael! So real and honest....I loved that! Keep the pregnancy videos coming.....no matter what anybody says! Love you guys!
Our first trimester symptoms are exactly the same. I'm currently 22wks and 4 days preggo, and I was certain it was a boy because of the same symptoms you listed. I have a terrible sweet tooth and prefer cookies over pasta, but during my first trimester, all I wanted were spicy foods and hot sauce. I ate so much hot sauce. Four weeks ago my hubby and I found out we were having a girl, so you can never really tell. Congratulations to the moon and back... I'm so happy to be sharing this incredible experience with you... you're looking as radiant and beautiful as ever (and even more so now). And aren't the baby stuff just adorable? Warms your heart when you see them - makes it all so real!!
So glad you made a pregnancy update!! I love these and I look forward to seeing more baby videos!! ❤️❤️
omg im so happy for you and Michael!!! y'all are going to be the best parents!!!!!!
Love the long video and love you Alex!! So excited for you and Michael, can't wait to see your little babe when he or she comes into the world anddd the name!! Ahhh so exciting!
Headaches are normal in the first trimester from the drastic hormone changes, so don't worry if you can't figure out a reason for them. I started getting bad headaches in the beginning of my 2nd trimester and found out I was iron deficient and possibly anemic. Now I feel so much better after starting iron supplements!
Congratulations! I’m so happy for y’all! Preggo pops helped me a lot during my pregnancy! I carried them everywhere with me!
Alex! So excited for u! I'm 8 weeks today but I was told by my doctor that headaches are caused by low progesterone! Get that checked out! Btw ur gonna be such a wonderful mommy and I have a feeling ur gonna have a boy too ❤️👶🏻💕
Hope you feel better. My best friend was nauseous her whole pregnancy. I hope that doesn't happen to you. I had a very easy pregnancy. I didn't even get morning sickness or anything. Kudos to the mom that go through that.
I am sooo excited for you guys. You both will be amazing parents!
Almost 12 weeks pregnant and super sick!!!! For me, since I'm constantly moving at work I don't feel the nausea. But as soon as I get home n relax or if I don't eat, forget it. The bathroom is my BFF!!! I love salt n vinager chips! Sooooo gooooooddddddddd
I had those vitamins, not the best. Pills are better lol. I can't wait to see what Little Alex&Michael will look like!! ❤️❤️
Also love the silliness coming through in this video. Hope you feel better soon!!
Omg I haven’t been on UA-cam forever and I seen pregnancy update and I was like WHAT!! congrats you two. Just had my first 9 months ago :)
Also I used glow it’s an awesome app! An ovia shows you the size of their hand every week :)
if you have a girl you HAVEEEE to get her bows from Baby Bling Bows. they are my fav for my 2 month old daughter, we seriously get compliments on them every day! they dont dig in & they are sooo soft & stretchy.
I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I've been taking lesman prenatal vitamins and they're good. Kinda on the expensive side but I heard they're the best. God bless on your pregnancy!!!
Also, try the app ovia. They answers most of my questions. Regarding the lower back pains, they said try not to sleep on your back coz the baby is getting heavy and the weight on your tummy affects your back. Instead sleep on your side especially left side coz that's where the baby's heartbeat is and put pillows in between your legs. It helped me a lot. I used to have so much pain in my lower back.
Congratulations on your pregnancy!! I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula, and one thing I always recommend to my clients to read is The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin, and Ina May Gaskin’s Guide To Childbirth. “What To Expect” is crap and full of scare tactics and outdated information. I also (obviously) recommend hiring a doula as they can help you navigate your options and answer all your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum questions! Best of luck to you 💕
Just watching this now!! I’m pregnant only 9 weeks along. And the sickness is REAL. I feel your pain and I cannot wait til it’s over. Also have the same app lol.
You can try peppermint oil for your headaches! Also, sometimes when I feel nauseous I put a drop of peppermint oil ( check to make sure you can ingest- Doterra brand) on my toothbrush and brush my teeth,it really helps.
If you are able to get your hands on motts Clamato juice you should totally do that for a “Bloody Mary” - Caesar’s as they are in Canada. Clamato, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, pickle juice and celery salt soooo good
alora michelle Agree! Try adding a little of mineral or tonic water to this! Soo good.
I loooveee Clamato!
I am so excited for you two! You are both going to be amazing parents
I'm glad you're feeling a little better. I loved watching this video! I read some of the comments about showing your baby bump in all of your pregnancy videos, I think that is a great idea! 💛
I’m 33 weeks! Enjoy every second! Headaches are from your hormones and fluid volume change. I have the saaaame cravings and I’m having a boy 😍 you can always do genetic testing to find out what your having you can do that at 16 weeks!
Still so excited for you guys!! I’m 30 weeks now and I’m getting anxious! I have all of baby girls things ready to go I’m just waiting on her. I keep buying clothes tho. I just can’t help it. It’s all good cuteee as of now the only thing killing me is my back pain. I have such bad back pain I can’t deal. I literally can’t do ANYTHING with out it hurting. It’s pathetic but my husband reminds me it’s okay. I’m pregnant! My husband is a lot of help like Michael. I can’t wait to keep seeing these type of videos from you. Congrats again!! 😘
What an exciting time for you and Michael! I'm excited to go on this journey with you both! Congratulations on your future little bundle of joy 💗
Thank you!
Also, just wanted to let you know my very fav maternity clothes were all from H&M, they had the very best jeans - actually looked stylish and not like 'maternity' jeans. Lots of fits and washes, distressed jeans, etc. And it's nice their clothing is affordable since you only wear them for a season.
38 weeks pregnant with my second boy! Looooove being a mom! Congrats!
If you decide to go get an ultrasound before 20 weeks, we went to Baby Envison in Troy off of Big Beaver to find out the gender! They did a great job and we even went back after 32 weeks and got a 4-D ultrasound! So excited for you and Michael!!
So HAPPY for you both. It will pass Alex it's only temporary keep telling your self that. Ask your doctor for prescription vitamins. My vitamins were making me nauseous too. Also! Tip read what to expect when the baby is born. I never did. Idk why! It will feel less overwhelming when the baby comes. Especially if it's your first.
Girl, I am almost 10 weeks and feeling like death, nausea is no joke.. I have a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old.... this is a struggle lol! Sleep all day? I wish! Can’t wait for my 2nd tri. You look beautiful!
So happy for you guys! The baby will be beautiful!
Thoroughly enjoyed you just chatting about your pregnancy. I’m so excited for y’all. Can you link the PJs in the description box please?
During my first trimester I couldn't eat anything healthy. Once I hit my 2nd trimester I got a burst of energy and felt like I could accomplish anything. You are allowed to eat deli meat as long as it's from a reputable place. Once my Dr told me I could I was eating all the deli meats I wanted. I also ate eggs over easy but I didn't do it all the time. I did eat a lot of eggs throughout my pregnancy as the yolk is good for the baby. When it came to sushi I ate anything that had smoked salmon, shrimp, crab. I stuck to things that were already cooked. For prenatal vitamins I used the Rainbow Light brand you take 1 a day, it's plant based, and it doesn't have constipation iron. I also took their dha vitamins as well. A 5 month supply is only 40 something off of vitacost. This is my first pregnancy I'm 33 weeks 4 days, and I've been pretty lucky in having such a easy pregnancy.
love these pregnancy videos!!!! please do more about your pregnancy. You look amazing!
