I wish I could look this gorgeous not pregnant Maria (Masha)❤How do you do it ?? You SLAY. Ive been with you since the beginning and I’m so excited and happy for you. You will love this new chapter and safe baby moon for you both ❤❤❤
I’m really surprised at Amazon, they are usually so good about these things! If you decide to get a stroller, try consignment shops near you. You can let the shops know the kind you’re looking for and they’ll often call you if something comes in.
Oh no, the stroller scam is so upsetting! I recently was scammed and couldn't get a refund either. After about two months of fighting the company for a refund, I ended up reluctantly calling my bank to file a dispute... and they credited my account instantly. Please, please give this a shot! You work hard for your money and deserve to get it back ♥
Adding another vote to call your bank! You have rights under Regulation E (debit card) or the Truth in Lending Act (credit card). The bank will ACTIVELY work to get your money back, and usually gives you provisional credit right away.
Maria is the most kind and lovely soul but when she said she hopes they burn in hell I literally spat out my drink laughing. You’re the best Maria and scammers are the worst. Good luck with all things baby to your whole family! ❤
Such a good idea to invest in yourself after delivery! Not self centered AT ALL. I mean it! I have a daugther (she is older now) and I focused so much on the pregnancy and delivery, just like you... OH MAN! What a "surprise" I had..... I had no friends who had children and I am the youngest one in my family. And my family was living far away... I felt so lost and alone... That was HARD. So..... I am glad you are putting love and care in yourself. You can't pour from an empty cup, right? I have been following you for a decade now. I really wish you well and ... love you! :)
@@SassyMashaVlogsMaria, as a woman, we are often called selfish for taking care of ourselves. There is nothing wrong at with this, you need not call yourself selfish for giving yourself the care you deserve. I have been watching you for over a decade as well, bless you ❤
I’m so sorry about the scammer!! Amazon is supposed to have an ‘a to z’ coverage for any issues and if they won’t do anything since you did t receive the item then file a dispute with the bank of the card you used to make the purchase and tell them you didn’t get the item and Amazon won’t refund it. It takes about a month for them to investigate it but maybe they can get your money back because I know it’s not cheap and you don’t deserve that. So glad your mom gets to come help and spend time with the family and new grand baby!! It makes my heart so happy to know this pregnancy has gone well for you and that you’re prioritizing yourself with postpartum care ❤ been following you for several years and you deserve the best!
Maria the same scam happened to us too! We ended up having to dispute it through our bank. It was one of those car seat strollers like the doona and we were half awake dealing with news of my husband going on deployment when we ordered it. Same thing, saw a big sale and jumped on it not realizing it wasn’t from the actual company. Amazon wouldn’t budge and we had to go through our bank to get hundreds back
Маша, смотрю оба твоих канала уже более 5 лет и хочу сказать, что от всех твоих видео становится тепло на душе, посмотрев и это я просто засветилась от счастья, всего тебе самого лучезарного и наилучшего, пусть малыш родится самым красивым и самым здоровым, ты просто замечательная мама ❤❤❤
Yes, please file a claim with your credit card company. They should refund you the full amount for the stroller. I agree, stay away from negative news. You can get it in bits by reading trusted and vetted sources. Sending you lots of positive vibes, for everything!! You look beautiful!!
Good idea! It was a fraudulent charge so they should deny the transaction. Plus they have the money and resources to go after amazon for your money back.
Don’t give up on the Amazon scam situation! Keep on pushing for it! I find the more fuss you make - the more successful you are at getting your money back 🎉😢 people are 🤬 at times! Good luck with the remainder of your pregnancy journey xx ❤
always so gracious of you to take the time to update us here, especially during your pregnancy ! you and your family deserve such love and light. so excited for you all in this exciting time !
Я так рада слышать, что вы наняли доулу, Маша! Надеюсь, так у вас будет достойная помощь для родов вашей мечты. Желаю вам легких родов и спокойного послеродового периода 💕💕
Good for you for investing in your postpartum healing, I really feel like society in general needs to bring more attention to postpartum care for new mothers. I totally know how you feel about scammers who prey upon the innocent. I have to be on top of all phone calls and mail that comes through for my elderly father because the scammer attempts never cease! They are very tricky! ..But, I also believe there is a very special place in hell for those people.
honestly Maria you're more than welcome to rant it's actually refreshing!! I'm only 24 so I have no plans on having babies yet but I do sometimes worry about the world that I'm gonna birth my future kids into, everything is so negative and violent recently, so hearing your opinion made me feel validated thank you!! sending lots of love to you and your family
Love to hear you’re investing in yourself postpartum. I know motherhood is busy and tiring specially with a newborn but I’d love to see your postpartum care with your mom. Like the traditional meals she may cook or how to care for you postpartum. Just a thought. Much love! Been following since Mila was a baby!
I’m sorry to hear about the stroller scam. I’m pregnant as well 35 weeks so right behind you. I feel you on only lasting so long with activities. I’m struggling with the same thing. My son is in kindergarten as well and husband has been helping. Thank you for sharing about the postpartum care. I’m debating on looking into a chiropractor myself.
I was recommended a prenatal chiropractor to help get the pelvis aligned to give me a higher chance of vbac, since my last birth failed to progress, so I'm giving it all to be prepared. I'll have 3 sessions total, and she gave me some specific stretches to do. I will definitely come back for pelvic floor sessions after 6 weeks postpartum. Although, as we know, births can go in any direction. Hugs, momma. We got this!!!
I'm at 34 weeks with twins. We can do it!!!! 💪 Maria, I'm working with a physical therapy group, too, specifically for pain management and postpartum recovery. And our doula has already been a big help, even well before delivery time. I hope yours is uplifting, too!
I love your updates! I’m so happy for you to have your Mom helping you after the baby comes! Regarding the hypnobirthing-always trust your instincts. Something was telling you it wasn’t for you, so I’m glad you stopped. I’m so so sorry about the stroller! That’s awful. I hope you’re able to get your money back. Sending love and best wishes!!
It’s so nice to hear you say you feel like your life is a blessing. I remember a very old video (I’ve been with you since 2012) where you described feeling like it was a torture to be alive… and that’s how I’m feeling about my life. You give me hope for a better day. 💕
Fully support the Taking Cara Babies course! We were so lost after our first was born, and her course was very useful. Good luck with postpartum! You’ve got this!
This video feels so nostalgic but at the same time feeling how far you’ve come and we all have come. It reminds me of your videos from years ago just chatty updates but feels so special because it’s about your life now! Amazing!! Congrats!💞
I’ve been a follower from your first videos so many years ago and I feel like in a way I have grown with you ☺️ You inspire me so much and i get so excited for my own future as a mother and starting a family.
Maria, you are so wise, and you’re doing all the things I would advise as a second time mom! Even the baby course is a great idea (my husband and I forgot a few things the second time around and had to learn the hard way, haha). I love hearing the steps you’re taking to care for yourself when you know you’ll need it. Wishing you all the peace and comfort you can have as you finish your pregnancy and then heal postpartum. Blessings to you and your family ❤
You are right about the topics you mentioned. I agree. It's difficult to relax in such crazy times, but that is when we need more self care. All the best.
Hello Maria! This is the first time you’ve popped up on my feed in a while but it was great to watch this little catch up. I’m sorry to hear about the scammer! I work in customer service and you can definitely escalate this, especially if it was a high dollar amount spent. Don’t give up fighting yet! Get that refund 💸
@@MrJetix-su7qn Thankfully she doesn't have to do it all right now. She can save all the evidence and in a few months when she can catch her breath, it is worth calling up an attorney and letting them handle it.
YES. PLEEEEASE spend all the time and money on yourself during your postpartum season! I have my 2nd baby in August at a Birth Center with midwives. It was the best experience!!! I am so excited for you.
Maria you are just glowing, and more beautiful than ever during these last weeks of your pregnancy! Absolutely supportive & proud of you for choosing to prioritize YOUR post-partum self care, and what a blessing your husband and mom are for you all! I too am reaffirming my intent to stay off news as much as possible, it's just a fear mongering system of oppression that does no one any good. You can only control what goes on within your heart and four walls, and positivity and gratitude will keep you strong and healthy, mind body and soul. Keep shamelessly resting as needed, you are working so hard to create this precious new being who we cannot wait to meet! Hugs! (btw-DEF contact your credit card/bank to file a stroller scam reimbursement...and love your new mic!)
Maria!!! I am so happy to hear about your pregnancy going well and wish you a safe delivery. I am 37 weeks along myself … we may give birth to our baby boys around the same time lol. Your videos have been and will be on repeat. Thanks for all that you do 🫶
You are looking absolutely adorable! You always do but being pregnant brings your inner beauty out even more! So happy your Mom gets to be here for your family. You are very blessed and you deserve every single blessing for all you do to help so many! Sending wishes for a safe and speedy delivery of your son!
Maria I have been praying for you everyday, that your pregnancy goes well and your delivery. So glad that you’re doing well in that area of your life! I’m so sorry about the scam. Those people are just so mean! I hope you can get some resolution to that, because that’s NOT RIGHT! I understand about looking at the blessings in your life. I too am so blessed and do not take it for granted. Remember it’s okay to rest and take care of yourself during pregnancy, your baby will be happy and so will your family. One more thing, I too will not look at news because it can overwhelm me. Not looking at all the news is healthy. Best wishes for you and your family ❤
I'm sorry you had that scam experience. You look beautiful and hooray for you that you are planning on good care after your baby boy arrives. I've been with you since the beginning! Sending you love and light❤
Thanks for sharing! I’m so happy for you that your mom is coming to help out. What a special time that will be ❤. As for the scam, try reaching out to your credit card company maybe? I think major credit cards have coverage for things like that. Super disappointing about Amazon though.
It’s so lovely to hear from you in this format. You have so many people who are sending you sincere love and positive vibes. Please take care of yourself the way you take care of us, and a big hug for Darryl for being a solid man.
What helped me most with hypnobirthing was the techniques to help with pain management, I remember one that got you to say the letters of the alphabet 4 times (aaaa, bbbb, cccc ...) until the contraction passes. Its a good eay tp distract your mind. There a few others too in the book. The affirmations i think you can take or leave for sure. Eishing you yhe best Maria!
I used the takingcarababies first five months class with my babies and loved it! I found Cara’s teaching style very calming - a wonderful presence in the confusing postpartum period. Loved how she explains baby sleep and then offers different tools that can help. Great idea to invest in her class in my opinion!
I enjoyed your chatty video! I hope you get that resolved, maybe go through the bank or credit card company to dispute it. They're usually pretty good about getting your funds back. I think it's smart to get some things in place before your little boy comes. Taking care of yourself is so important, especially during the busyness of having a newborn. Good luck on your last weeks of your pregnancy! Be blessed....
Go with your instincts in all things. My mom said she did much better postpartum when my grandma stayed for a month to help her. The more you feel supported, the more you can focus on the absolute necessities and allow others to handle the rest, the less stress you will feel. Of course, PPD is chemical/hormonal but, women tend to have a less intense postpartum time when they feel well supported and cared for. This doesn’t include PPS which is on another level. My mom stayed with my brother and my sister-in-law when their 2 kids were born. She cleaned the house, did dishes, laundry and cooked for them. My sister-in-law’s mom had died years before. My mom didn’t storm into their house, she told them that she could do those things so my sister-in-law could focus on sleep and recovery. I’m sorry about the scammer. I hope the person gets an untreatable hemorrhoid for being so nasty.
Loved the video! Thank you for sharing everything! Honestly i was cheering you on and agreeing with a lot of what you said! Its okay to be 'negative'! I loved watching you talk about that and be real! Thank you again and glad to hear about your and the baby's good health! ❤🎉😊
I’m sorry that happened with the stroller! I was so stressed about what stroller system to use and we actually never once used the car seat with the stroller. I always transferred baby out of the car seat because he was more comfortable that way, and it’s safer for longer walks for them to lay flat. So don’t worry if you don’t get the matching stroller!
Hi Maria! I’m due March 7th and was considering the taking cara babies course too. Would love to hear how you like it. Best of luck to you, baby and your whole family!
You look radiant! I’m so glad your mom is coming to visit, and help out. I know you can’t wait to see her. Is Mila excited for little brother? You’ll have to let us know.😊
So sorry about the scamming.. some people have no conscience! You look beautifully pregnant. I wish you a succesfull birth Maria & a wonderful time with your mom being there with you. Wish you and your family all the best ❤
I can see that Maria is trying to not feed the feeling of sadness & disappontment for the baby's sake. But we all know it hurts. However, you're still the final winner in this, Maria. And i've also heard that when sth unfair like this happens, something really good & rewarding is on its way!
I love these videos Maria! I look forward to them💕 I’m so glad you are having a great pregnancy, I am starting to think about having kids and you are so inspirational to me!💜
Thank you so much for these vlogs Maria ❤ I watch your vlogs every day because it feels like I'm hanging out with my best friend :) I get so excited when I see a new video pop up and it just brightens my day 💕 I'm so sorry to hear about the stroller! But I hope everything works out and you have a great birth ☺
You are radiant Maria ❤️ We are blessed to have you in our lives. Sending much love to you and yours from here in England. Also, on a completely unrelated note, please please pretty please can we have your delicious looking salad recipe? 🥗😋😂 xx
I wish you all the best having your baby boy. The doula and meals are the best investment you can make. My baby girl was born mid November and just now I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel...hehehe. We are strong mommas, we can do it!!! 😊
So happy you've hired a doula and are making the connections now that will help so much with your postpartum recovery!😊 I hope you have a beautiful labor and birth experience!❤
I’m glad you abandoned the hypnobirthing and hired a doula instead. As a mama of two myself I believe you should be very aware, mentally present and in tuned with your body during the birthing process. It’s much safer that way and euphoric. Your mama intuition was on point!
You are absolutely glowing, Maria ❤ my nose and feet grew during my pregnancy too 😂 you're still beautiful as ever. Fill your cup mama you deserve to be the best you can for your babies ❤ my son will be 7 this summer, such a joy to have a boy 😅
Terribly upsetting the scam! It’s wonderful you have felt so good during your pregnancy. May the birth of your dear son be likewise. How lovely your Mum is coming ! She will love every minute! ❤
Totally agree with you about the news, Maria! I try to follow positive news outlets or stay away from the regular news. I'm so excited for your beautiful family to grow! And your mom is coming, I bet you all can't wait! Thanks for the updates on your life. You always help me feel better! ❤
I abandoned the "news" in the 90s because all of it was always a downer and never a good or kind mention. I've gradually started listening again, but only the independent stations.
It is not self centered at all you definitely need to take care of yourself it’s so overwhelming to bring home a newborn i remember feeling so overwhelmed and defeated at times I was blessed with support from my mom and husband but it was definitely one of the hardest times I’ve ever had I wish I would have done more to take care and prepare for myself after the birth but I also focused on delivery and pregnancy so I can relate and I think it’s wonderful you are taking more care of yourself this time my little bundle of joy will be 14 this March it’s crazy how time flies he’s my greatest blessing I couldn’t have anymore due to health problems but I wish I could have I’m so so happy for you and your beautiful family I’m 37 now and I’ve been watching you for about 12 years your videos are always my favorite sending you and your family love ❤️
Don’t ever think you’re being selfish for investing in yourself!!! More moms need to do that, we do so much for our families, we MUST make ourselves a priority in order to take care of them. Sending you hugs my love
The stroller scam is just flat out inexcusable. Amazon needs to do so much better. If that is their final answer, then we all need to really examine where we are placing our purchasing power. I know I certainly will……You deserve so much better than this. I for one will be watching to see if they take responsibility with their billions of dollars for my favorite ASMR artist. Waiting and watching…..You look GORGEOUS by the way. Your nose is perfect and you just look healthy, happy and glowing. So happy for your new baby boy and we know that you and Darryl will be enjoying Milla and your new baby more than words can say. Congratulations! We all love you all! ❤
Oh no, I hope you filed a complaint to not pay with your credit card…that is terrible! you are so sweet, thank you for the update…that is a great tummy!
Sorry to hear about the stroller. That is awful. I'm glad to hear everything is going well with your pregnancy & no doubt Darryl & your mom with ve a big help. I'm sure Mila will too
Wow too much scam for you lately so sorry about that! Uppa Vista is a great choice, I hope you get it discounted eventually and the money back for the scam. I bought a bugaboo fox stroller and it's so bad, we suffer a lot with it, so having a good stroller is so important ❤
Ur doing great!! Thank u for sharing. Ur very wise to invest in ur postpartum. All moms should. I have 3 grown sons and i dont ever remember hearing or learning about any options like that. Im so happy for u & ur family. Please continue to take care! I feel the same as u about the news. I basically had to stop watching it. Its way too upsetting. Thankful for kind hearted considerate people like u who actually promote peace & calm. Thank u thank u thank u! 🫶
You will do great with postpartum this time around. You know what to expect, and its no longer a shock to your system. Youve got this and will do great!

Just file a claim with your credit card company. They will refund your money.
We were scammed by a fake seller and the Bob stroller. But Amazon flagged it and cancelled the order. Definitely call them and do a charge back!
I’m really surprised at Amazon, they are usually so good about these things! If you decide to get a stroller, try consignment shops near you. You can let the shops know the kind you’re looking for and they’ll often call you if something comes in.

1000% the bank will 99/100 times side with the customer (Maria) and go after Amazon (who will them go after the seller) for the amount.
Yes! Call your bank! They will almost guaranteed help you
Adding another vote to call your bank! You have rights under Regulation E (debit card) or the Truth in Lending Act (credit card). The bank will ACTIVELY work to get your money back, and usually gives you provisional credit right away.
Came here to dispute the charge with your bank or credit card! What a bummer!
💯💯💯 Definitely file a dispute with your financial institution! Don't let this be a dark cloud during a beautiful time.
Maria is the most kind and lovely soul but when she said she hopes they burn in hell I literally spat out my drink laughing. You’re the best Maria and scammers are the worst. Good luck with all things baby to your whole family! ❤
same here that was so unexpected and hilarious 😂
It's those sweet one's you gotta watch out for. 😂

I'm in a really challenging job right now working with kids in a school. It emotionally drains me so much and these videos really help me.
love these little informal catch up chats!! wishing you and baby a safe and healthy delivery
I love this!! I always always loooove this talking catching up videos, is like hearing a friend, thank you very much!
Hello Maria! This is the first time you’ve popped up on my feed in a while but it was great to watch this little catch up.
I’m sorry to hear about the scammer! I work in customer service and you can definitely escalate this, especially if it was a high dollar amount spent. Don’t give up fighting yet! Get that refund 💸
I'm shocked that Amazon won't refund you for that. Seriously. That's the least they can do. You should think about a lawsuit.
Amazon is so easy with returns and refunds… I’m shocked that they didn’t have her back for this.
I think Maria has got a lot on her hands now 😢
@@MrJetix-su7qn Thankfully she doesn't have to do it all right now. She can save all the evidence and in a few months when she can catch her breath, it is worth calling up an attorney and letting them handle it.
@ hope that justice prevails
YES. PLEEEEASE spend all the time and money on yourself during your postpartum season!
I have my 2nd baby in August at a Birth Center with midwives. It was the best experience!!! I am so excited for you.
I am a first time mom, and had my baby boy two weeks ago and cannot wait for your baby update videos!
Maria you are just glowing, and more beautiful than ever during these last weeks of your pregnancy! Absolutely supportive & proud of you for choosing to prioritize YOUR post-partum self care, and what a blessing your husband and mom are for you all! I too am reaffirming my intent to stay off news as much as possible, it's just a fear mongering system of oppression that does no one any good. You can only control what goes on within your heart and four walls, and positivity and gratitude will keep you strong and healthy, mind body and soul. Keep shamelessly resting as needed, you are working so hard to create this precious new being who we cannot wait to meet! Hugs! (btw-DEF contact your credit card/bank to file a stroller scam reimbursement...and love your new mic!)
Maria!!! I am so happy to hear about your pregnancy going well and wish you a safe delivery. I am 37 weeks along myself … we may give birth to our baby boys around the same time lol. Your videos have been and will be on repeat. Thanks for all that you do 🫶
Woohoo!!! 🥰 we got this, momma ❤️
You are looking absolutely adorable! You always do but being pregnant brings your inner beauty out even more!
So happy your Mom gets to be here for your family. You are very blessed and you deserve every single blessing for all you do to help so many!
Sending wishes for a safe and speedy delivery of your son!
I hate to sound selfish but I lost my uncle this week and I wish your videos could last forever… we love you Maria… and I’m so happy for you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maria I have been praying for you everyday, that your pregnancy goes well and your delivery. So glad that you’re doing well in that area of your life! I’m so sorry about the scam. Those people are just so mean! I hope you can get some resolution to that, because that’s NOT RIGHT!
I understand about looking at the blessings in your life. I too am so blessed and do not take it for granted.
Remember it’s okay to rest and take care of yourself during pregnancy, your baby will be happy and so will your family.
One more thing, I too will not look at news because it can overwhelm me. Not looking at all the news is healthy.
Best wishes for you and your family ❤
I'm sorry you had that scam experience. You look beautiful and hooray for you that you are planning on good care after your baby boy arrives. I've been with you since the beginning! Sending you love and light❤
Thanks for sharing! I’m so happy for you that your mom is coming to help out. What a special time that will be ❤. As for the scam, try reaching out to your credit card company maybe? I think major credit cards have coverage for things like that. Super disappointing about Amazon though.
It’s so lovely to hear from you in this format. You have so many people who are sending you sincere love and positive vibes. Please take care of yourself the way you take care of us, and a big hug for Darryl for being a solid man.
What helped me most with hypnobirthing was the techniques to help with pain management, I remember one that got you to say the letters of the alphabet 4 times (aaaa, bbbb, cccc ...) until the contraction passes. Its a good eay tp distract your mind. There a few others too in the book. The affirmations i think you can take or leave for sure. Eishing you yhe best Maria!
We love our UppaBaby Cruz, it's a bit cheaper and a bit smaller than the Mesa but it's the perfect size to navigate around and fit in the car
I'm actually looking at some used Cruz ones right now too. It could be the best of both worlds! Thank you 😊
I used the takingcarababies first five months class with my babies and loved it! I found Cara’s teaching style very calming - a wonderful presence in the confusing postpartum period. Loved how she explains baby sleep and then offers different tools that can help. Great idea to invest in her class in my opinion!
I enjoyed your chatty video! I hope you get that resolved, maybe go through the bank or credit card company to dispute it. They're usually pretty good about getting your funds back. I think it's smart to get some things in place before your little boy comes. Taking care of yourself is so important, especially during the busyness of having a newborn. Good luck on your last weeks of your pregnancy! Be blessed....
Go with your instincts in all things. My mom said she did much better postpartum when my grandma stayed for a month to help her. The more you feel supported, the more you can focus on the absolute necessities and allow others to handle the rest, the less stress you will feel. Of course, PPD is chemical/hormonal but, women tend to have a less intense postpartum time when they feel well supported and cared for. This doesn’t include PPS which is on another level. My mom stayed with my brother and my sister-in-law when their 2 kids were born. She cleaned the house, did dishes, laundry and cooked for them. My sister-in-law’s mom had died years before. My mom didn’t storm into their house, she told them that she could do those things so my sister-in-law could focus on sleep and recovery. I’m sorry about the scammer. I hope the person gets an untreatable hemorrhoid for being so nasty.
Prayers for safe delivery for you and baby. 💕
Loved the video! Thank you for sharing everything! Honestly i was cheering you on and agreeing with a lot of what you said! Its okay to be 'negative'! I loved watching you talk about that and be real! Thank you again and glad to hear about your and the baby's good health! ❤🎉😊
Gosh you are absolutely glowing. Wishing you love and light over the next few weeks ❤
I’m sorry that happened with the stroller! I was so stressed about what stroller system to use and we actually never once used the car seat with the stroller. I always transferred baby out of the car seat because he was more comfortable that way, and it’s safer for longer walks for them to lay flat. So don’t worry if you don’t get the matching stroller!
Hi Maria! I’m due March 7th and was considering the taking cara babies course too. Would love to hear how you like it. Best of luck to you, baby and your whole family!
You look radiant! I’m so glad your mom is coming to visit, and help out. I know you can’t wait to see her. Is Mila excited for little brother? You’ll have to let us know.😊
So happy things are going well! Best wishes to you guys! ❤
My youngest is having her 2nd baby this coming week. Babies are such a blessing. So excited for your family. ❤️
5:19...Good. Listen to your instincts.❤
Happy to hear your pregnancy is still going well ❤ that's how it should be ❤
So sorry about the scamming.. some people have no conscience! You look beautifully pregnant. I wish you a succesfull birth Maria & a wonderful time with your mom being there with you. Wish you and your family all the best ❤
Так Рада за вас, поздравляю! 🫂 здоровья маме и малышу ♥️
I can see that Maria is trying to not feed the feeling of sadness & disappontment for the baby's sake. But we all know it hurts. However, you're still the final winner in this, Maria. And i've also heard that when sth unfair like this happens, something really good & rewarding is on its way!
I love these videos Maria! I look forward to them💕 I’m so glad you are having a great pregnancy, I am starting to think about having kids and you are so inspirational to me!💜
Thank you so much for these vlogs Maria ❤ I watch your vlogs every day because it feels like I'm hanging out with my best friend :) I get so excited when I see a new video pop up and it just brightens my day 💕 I'm so sorry to hear about the stroller! But I hope everything works out and you have a great birth ☺
Love these videos! Wish they were longer! ❤ thanks so much for sharing with us!
You look glowingly comfortable, thanks for the video & life updates !
Omg this is horrendous that you got scammed...I am so sorry that this happened to you guys! I hope you find a stroller for you baby!
so early and haven’t even watched but just wanted to say YOU GO GIRL !! love you sm, best wishes for your family !!
You are radiant Maria ❤️ We are blessed to have you in our lives. Sending much love to you and yours from here in England. Also, on a completely unrelated note, please please pretty please can we have your delicious looking salad recipe? 🥗😋😂 xx
I wish you all the best having your baby boy. The doula and meals are the best investment you can make. My baby girl was born mid November and just now I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel...hehehe.
We are strong mommas, we can do it!!! 😊
You are such a strong momma! I know it can be hard, but we got this! 💪
You are glowing, Maria! ❤❤❤
It's not selfish. Take care of you! Cant WAIT to meet your new arrival 💕
So happy you've hired a doula and are making the connections now that will help so much with your postpartum recovery!😊 I hope you have a beautiful labor and birth experience!❤
I’m glad you abandoned the hypnobirthing and hired a doula instead.
As a mama of two myself I believe you should be very aware, mentally present and in tuned with your body during the birthing process. It’s much safer that way and euphoric.
Your mama intuition was on point!
God has very much blessed you Maria. I so much appreciate you saying how blessed you are. It reminds all of us to look at all the ways we are blessed.
You are absolutely glowing, Maria ❤ my nose and feet grew during my pregnancy too 😂 you're still beautiful as ever. Fill your cup mama you deserve to be the best you can for your babies ❤ my son will be 7 this summer, such a joy to have a boy 😅
Oh Maria, i think we are due in the same week! Such an exciting time, but yes i feel you with the breathlessness! 😂❤
Thanks for including us in your journey!!!😊
Terribly upsetting the scam! It’s wonderful you have felt so good during your pregnancy. May the birth of your dear son be likewise. How lovely your Mum is coming ! She will love every minute! ❤
So sorry about you getting scammed! But I'm glad everything's going well with your pregnancy ❤
I’m so sorry that happened with the stroller! Please call the bank/card company and file a dispute! You should get your money back!
Maria, nice to see you! You're looking beautiful and very gentle
Totally agree with you about the news, Maria! I try to follow positive news outlets or stay away from the regular news. I'm so excited for your beautiful family to grow! And your mom is coming, I bet you all can't wait! Thanks for the updates on your life. You always help me feel better! ❤
We all need to speak out more and demand better from our "leaders." The country isn't working for us all so they need to do better.
I abandoned the "news" in the 90s because all of it was always a downer and never a good or kind mention. I've gradually started listening again, but only the independent stations.
It is not self centered at all you definitely need to take care of yourself it’s so overwhelming to bring home a newborn i remember feeling so overwhelmed and defeated at times I was blessed with support from my mom and husband but it was definitely one of the hardest times I’ve ever had I wish I would have done more to take care and prepare for myself after the birth but I also focused on delivery and pregnancy so I can relate and I think it’s wonderful you are taking more care of yourself this time my little bundle of joy will be 14 this March it’s crazy how time flies he’s my greatest blessing I couldn’t have anymore due to health problems but I wish I could have I’m so so happy for you and your beautiful family I’m 37 now and I’ve been watching you for about 12 years your videos are always my favorite sending you and your family love ❤️
Missed you, i love when you post on this page! X
How did you pay for the stroller? Your bank should be able to help with the money - certainly if it was on credit card you are protected for fraud xx
Don’t ever think you’re being selfish for investing in yourself!!! More moms need to do that, we do so much for our families, we MUST make ourselves a priority in order to take care of them. Sending you hugs my love
The stroller scam is just flat out inexcusable. Amazon needs to do so much better. If that is their final answer, then we all need to really examine where we are placing our purchasing power. I know I certainly will……You deserve so much better than this. I for one will be watching to see if they take responsibility with their billions of dollars for my favorite ASMR artist. Waiting and watching…..You look GORGEOUS by the way. Your nose is perfect and you just look healthy, happy and glowing. So happy for your new baby boy and we know that you and Darryl will be enjoying Milla and your new baby more than words can say. Congratulations! We all love you all! ❤
You are so incredibly lovely and have helped my so much with your asmr videos. The stroller scam is horrible, I'm so sorry.
Oh no, I hope you filed a complaint to not pay with your credit card…that is terrible! you are so sweet, thank you for the update…that is a great tummy!
Sorry to hear about the stroller. That is awful. I'm glad to hear everything is going well with your pregnancy & no doubt Darryl & your mom with ve a big help. I'm sure Mila will too
Wow too much scam for you lately so sorry about that! Uppa Vista is a great choice, I hope you get it discounted eventually and the money back for the scam. I bought a bugaboo fox stroller and it's so bad, we suffer a lot with it, so having a good stroller is so important ❤
Ur doing great!! Thank u for sharing. Ur very wise to invest in ur postpartum. All moms should. I have 3 grown sons and i dont ever remember hearing or learning about any options like that. Im so happy for u & ur family. Please continue to take care! I feel the same as u about the news. I basically had to stop watching it. Its way too upsetting. Thankful for kind hearted considerate people like u who actually promote peace & calm. Thank u thank u thank u! 🫶
You will do great with postpartum this time around. You know what to expect, and its no longer a shock to your system. Youve got this and will do great!
I have so much homework to do but….. Maria dropped a new video so it can wait 🥰😴
