Taking baby name suggestions starting now...
David! If it’s a boy!
Biceps ofc!
Optimus Prime or Kevin if it´s a Boy
Brody
Barry for a boy and Barbara for a girl.
The truest advice I have ever heard when it comes to raising children: “The days go slowly but the years go fast.” I blinked and my babies are adults.
This made me tear up. I'm going to go see my mom right now
My kid is 2.5 and it's absolutely terrifying. That first year was painfully slow (we had zero help from the beginning due to COVID) and we were so exhausted. It's so much fun now and going waaay too fast!
Natalie's words hit hard because even though I'm not pregnant and have never been, my thoughts about pregnancy are exactly the same to hers. I am so grateful to you Nat for being so vulnerable and sharing how you feel. I finally see that I am not alone in my thoughts and feelings. I'm sending you a huge hug and I really believe in you!
❤ This! Thank you, Natalie! Congrats to the both of you!
Right? Just how I felt!
I feel the same except I have had children and went through fear of giving birth and postpartum depression, and feeling isolated as a then stay at home mom. But I appreciate Nat’s openness and honesty because you don’t hear that a lot. I remember at one point every one being like congratulations congratulations and I remember at the time not feeling it at all, and not wanting to hear that at all(after the 3rd pregnancy) Now my kids are all teenagers and I have no regrets. But I truly have so much respect for people who decide not to have kids at all. I personally don’t understand that because I always wanted to have kids but I respect it and I don’t believe in trying to convince those who say they don’t want kids otherwise. Having a child or children is a lot of work but it’s so worth yet definitely NOT for everyone. The best advice I could give Nat is accept and ask for help from those you trust!
I felt the fear even though I’m not and haven’t experienced this before. I’m just so relate to the uncomfortable feelings and so understand sometimes the negative thoughts can stay around there for a while.
Same 🤍
This message is for Nat. I have had two pregnancies in my life, under very different circumstances. The first was unplanned, in the midst of leaving an abusive marriage, and when I was very young. I hated every minute of it, but when my son was born, I was hit with a never-before-felt wave of love for this child that was fierce and amazing, and erased every bit of the pain of the pregnancy, labor, and delivery. I remember them as a fact, but I cannot recall how they actually felt.
With my youngest, the situation was much different. He was planned and brought into a loving, stable marriage. In that pregnancy, I grew to love him and know him while he was still growing in my belly. He would get so excited when he heard his father’s voice, that he would dance and reach for the hand placed on my belly. He loved our nightly chocolate milk, and he held a dance-party every night at 3am.😂
I am not going to tell you that pregnancy is a beautiful, Earth-Mother, experience. I will tell you that there is joy and happiness to be found amidst the discomfort, and that the discomfort will fade, but the joys will last forever. Yes, this will be the hardest thing you have ever done. It will also be the most fun, most rewarding, most joyful experience you will ever have. I hope you can focus on the joy and the fun, and thoroughly enjoy these next few months and the years of joy to follow!
Well said! Helped me get a glimpse
Well said and spot on! My son is 6 months now and I agree!
The fact that Nat is feeling vulnerable and some amount of fear is a signal that she’ll be a great mother. You both got this.
Congratulations! My two generic pieces of advice:
1: Don't wait until a gender reveal, open that envelope in your own home where you can be emotional and feel everything
2: Everyone says "wait till they start crawling" or "just wait till they won't stop talking" and all this kind of stuff. Don't let that get to you, every stage of infancy was better than the one before it, and being a parent can be a lot more fun than other people make it out to be.
2.5 Infancy goes quick, soak it up.
3. Dont do a gender reveal...gender isnt that important
First of al congrats. Yes, do not do a gender reveal. Made up commercial trash. Not knowing the gender until birth.
I also don't like gender reveals at all I hav a little girl and I found the first month the hardest or u would say the first year but now its sooo sweet 😋
Totally agree! ❤️ And no, pregnancy don't need to be the best season of your life. Everyone experience it differently
The thing I loved about this video is that it felt like Natalie (hope it's right) was the protagonist of it, and you let her have her space to tell the story, and even if it wasn't always optimistic and joyful but rather scared and doubtful, you were there to support her. I've been following you for a while (a long one haha), I'm just so so so happy for you two. You both are going to be the greatest xxx
I love this comment, you make a great point :)
Yep!!
Nat’s vulnerability was everything. The way you just sat with her so supportively was truly beautiful to witness. ❤
We tried for 15 years to have our daughter and it was a surprise when it finally happened. I spent my entire pregnancy paranoid we'd lose her and a fear that I couldn't do it and especially birth. I was scared until It finally came time to have her and then it was like someone flipped a switch in my brain and I was 100% ready and pushed her out. I can't explain to you how you'll feel after you have her, generally, but I just want you to know you'll be okay
We need a separate channel for Natalie with her motherhood journey
Or just a section on the channel, but I need that!! I always love her point of view of everything and how she delivery and the whay they work together as a couple
At least a playlist
So happy for the both of you!!
Me tooooo❤
Loved the video! Btw I make videos to help this upcoming generation learn and develop fundamental and life changing wisdom! Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance
IM just saying she doing something a lot of women are missing out on
Congratulations guys ❤ our little man is 11 months and we got told you will be “never so tired, never so HAPPY” by a waiter at a restaurant and I have to say that is the PERFECT way to sum it up
agreeed!
So happy for you! I confess - when I found out i was pregnant, i was depressed the first six months of my pregnancy. Thrown into morning sickness overnight. Exhausted and sick constantly. Planning in overdrive. Then one day - i fell in love with my baby. She’s now two and a half and is my bestest little buddy! Life changes in crazy ways, but it’s so worth it. You will become a new version of yourself. Take care!
Such a realistic response to pregnancy, so refreshing. I was not over-the-moon giddy with excitement, but enjoyed my pregnancy. All the knowledge intake surrounding having a baby, how to manage yourself, which gear to buy, how to do this, that, etc, was like having a part-time job. You both seem to be healthy, moderate people, just go with your gut and enjoy yourselves!
Loved the video! Btw I make videos to help this upcoming generation learn and develop fundamental and life changing wisdom! Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance
I thought the same! It's refreshing to see Natalie addressing pregnancy as I would: with a lot of very valid fear and concerns, without sugarcoating it at any point.
I love how candid and honest Natalie is. I love her. I so appreciate that you both made such an honest video about how you're feeling, I haven't seen many if any conversations like this, and I just know there are people out there who feel the exact same as you and need to know that they aren't alone. Thank you both for being you!
I broke my “no social media before 12pm” rule to watch this video and I HAVE NO REGRETS! 😁
I was grinning through the entire thing like a fool and I love everything here and sending you both, oh wait, you three (!) all the best wishes and love!
Love how natural and truthful and sincere Nat was and also really loved how Matt was following her around the house with his camera 😄😁🤗❤️
As someone who dealt with depression during and after pregnancies, lost my first baby almost full term, and now has a healthy 8 year old - it’s so worth it. You guys are in a great position working for yourselves; you can travel, sleep in, etc. My best advice is don’t push yourselves when you don’t have to. We didn’t travel the first 2 years of our daughter’s life. It was more trouble for us and her. We just enjoyed taking it easy for that season.
Congratulations!
As a parent I would like to share some advise!
- No parent knows what they are doing, we are all improvising.
- All kids are different, that is why there is no guide book for parenting, is just impossible.
- Don't blame the other, both are tired, both of you will feel lost and scared, supporting each other is the best mindset to have during that first year.
- is good to hear advise from others, but at the end you are the parents, you know what is best for the kid.
- They grow really fast, so enjoy every phase.
- And.... a fever is 37.5 C, not 36.5, not 37.... 37.5 C
That is some great advice!
There's no guide books for parenting???
In Germany, a fever is 38.5 lol
What a genuine and sincere testimonial about pregnancy. In a world full of filters on social media, it’s not usual to be honest about your felling. Nat it’s gonna be a wonderful mother! ❤
congrats you two!
so exciting!
Think this is the most we've ever heard Natalie, well done giving her the space to express herself. Y'all Gona be great 👍🏾
Aw congratulations you guys!! 🥹💕

U
❤️ U
See her channel 🤩
Awwww.... ❤️
I started watching your videos in 2019 when I had just turned 18 and left my parents house to go to college.
Your impact on me has been immense, I have no doubt you’ll be a great father to your own kid, as you have already influenced a bunch of other “kids” (:

I am also pregnant and just made it through the first trimester. I had HG which made it even worse. Hearing Natalie talk about her fears is super comforting as I have been feeling the same way. My brain is always anxious especially since we had a miscarriage earlier this year with our first.
My first pregnancy was a miscarriage as well. When I got pregnant again with our now 18 month old I spend the entire first 10 weeks unwilling to move or do anything for fear of causing another miscarriage. I'm so sorry for your loss.❤
Hey Nat, congratulations! I've been a mum for 3 months now and all the fears and worries you mentioned in the video are true. Yes, pregnancy is hard, your body changes a lot and labour is very painful. But it really is worth it. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Your baby will bring you joy and laughter. You will realize your capacity for love is greater than you ever imagined. You will realize you are so much stronger (mentally and physically) than you thought. You will gain a new respect for your body. Your life will be turned upside down in the most beautiful way. The best is yet to come pet. Keep smiling and focusing on the positive.
Can't wait for Matt to be doing 30 day challenges with the baby in 9 months time 😂
Donc ;-)
Love Nat's real talk on the fear many of us have about having a baby, giving birth, life changes and all the other anxieties that come with it! Not every woman/parent is super elated and not afraid. I went through the same thing. Love her for this ❤️ you'll be okay mama
Thank you Nat for being so open and honest. We need more people like you in this world. 💗
Can’t wait for minimalist parenting content to come!! As a mama of 4, getting ready to downsize into an RV to follow my husband travel as an RN, your videos and documentaries have turned my life into the best direction. So happy and excited for you both.
Upcoming videos:
Why my child has one diaper
I tried to be a father for 30 days
How I paid my student debt as the father of a child with future student debt
P.S congrats man! I've been here for almost four years now and I'll be here for many more. Love you and your family.
he/she won't have one diaper, but three and they'll all be black 😜
Congratulations! This comment is mostly for Nat. I completely understand how you feel. I can only describe pregnancy as feeling like you’re going downhill in a car with no breaks. Your body completely takes control of this process and mentally and emotionally you’re just trying to hold on. Having made it to the other side of things my advice is to remember that “this too shall pass” the hard times, the pain, the struggle, the joy, the peace and the chaos. Everything comes and goes. I felt like pregnancy lasted forever. I also felt like the fragile infant stage lasted forever. But everything was a phase.
My last message to both of you, as much as your life will inevitably change when you become a parent, you also have the opportunity to introduce this new family member to all the things that you both love and enjoy. With your creative minds you can keep a lot of your hobbies and interests but just have to make adjustments to bring the little one along.
Introduce your kid to your favourite foods and music and activities etc. they will develop a unique taste in life that is only unique to your family.
Best of luck!
Natalie, you are so incredibly in tune with your body to recognize the changes early, you will naturally be ready! You are going to be an amazing mom! Congratulations.
As someone who started watching this channel single and now has 2 kids, I'm excited to see how you handle your family growing and the transition to parenthood. It's hard but you can do it, best of luck!
I never wanted to be a minimalist more than when my kids were a few years old. We had “ stuff” , I was overwhelmed. Limiting the “stuff” and focusing on other things was the key. They never missed what they didn’t have. We played, we laughed, we adventured. Now as adults, they do not focus on physical things to fill their lives. I think you will find that less stuff brings you peace so you can put your effort in other areas. Many blessings to you both.
You literally don’t understand that I GASPED and got SO HAPPY just at the thumbnail!! I’ve been following for about 4 years now and you’ve helped me so so much - I’m extremely happy and excited for you both, thank you for everything ❤
The sad thing about watching videos is that you want to answer like it’s a normal conversation. I felt like I had something to say for every sentence 😂 I think the first sign that you’re going to he an amazing mom is that you have questions and try to get answers. You research and doubt and generally care. And that’s all it takes. As a dad, wanting to know everything and be involved is the ultimate goal.
I shed a tear. Happy parenthood, you guys ❤🎉
Wow big congratulations to you both!!! What a beautiful time it is 🧡
Would love to hear more from Nat as the pregnancy progresses. I identified with pretty much everything she said in this video and would be super interested in learning how her outlook and feelings evolve as you go. And congrats!
As an anxious person, what helped the most during my three pregnancies was reading positive birth stories, or even stories where there was a scary part but the outcome was ultimately great. It was also super helpful to keep telling myself that women have given birth since the beginning of time and I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS. (I also avoided parenting books and baby books -- too much noise.) I hardly ever comment but coming out of the woodwork to say congratulations! Baby news is the best news. You're gonna be great.
For Nat, your fears are valid and warranted. The main thing is you have a partner in Matt who is willing to accept challenges and really tackle them head on and is exactly what you will need in going through pregnancy and raising a child. As a dad of 2 children it isn’t easy but the main thing is you figure it out, you dig deep and you manage and it is surprising the sheer will of your spirit when you are beyond tired yet you still manage. Best of luck and I sincerely wish you all the best and loads of happiness
Congrats guys! Just got this notification from your email! Life will change but it will also open up new possibilities and enable you in other ways. So happy for you guys! 🥰
Congrats guys! I'm watching this at the hospital waiting for our doctor to come break my wife's water. Get ready for an adventure!
Wow! Thank you, Natalie, for really being honest with the world about how you’re feeling. My husband and I recently got married, and he feels the way Matt does and I feel the way you do lol. We both appreciate you sharing your experience! If it aligns with your path, it will be really valuable to see videos where you guys talk about how you’re intertwining minimalism into parenthood. I’ve imagined teaching this to a child but I’ve never seen videos on it. Good luck guys and please know you have so much support and love on this journey! ❤
Check out the minimal mom. By the way this is absolutely normal for women to feel the way Nat does; they are taking the much bigger risk in this for the rest of their lives.
something tells me because the dads aren't the ones going through all the physical changes and discomfort and pain and labor and have to give birth
I have never felt more invested in my life. I def hit the verge of crying a couple of times thinking about your old videos i used to watch.
You can just feel the excitement from them its adorable
I definitely feel like new parents think they should feel a certain way. We are totally allowed to feel however we are feeling and I think that is definitely the healthy way to go about it.
Congratulations, you two. No one is ever ready for this, but the minute you see your child for the first time, suddenly you are SO ready. You will be amazing.
Getting kids will rock your world but everything is worth it. It will open up a feeling of joy you've never experienced before when interacting with them. I'm a proud dad and love my kids
IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND YOUR CHANNEL FOR FOREVER! I forgot the name and had been looking and looking and finally you came up on my recommendations and YOU GUYS HAVE A BABY NOW!! How crazy!! I last watched your channel when I was in college and now I have two kiddos and you guys have one too
I'm a newish mom of an 8 month old, and I'm here to say that it can be SO much fun! The joy she brings and the amount of times she makes us smile and laugh is hard to explain! All the hard stuff is 100% worth it! You've got this!
Thank you, this helps a lot, I'm considering really bad if I want or not to be a mom for all the scary factors. This kind of comments help to let go the fear
In the same situation and feeling the same things!
The first 2 months were hard but since it's been 80% joy
Aaaa
Congratulations! It's so amazing for you both ❤️
I'm a newish mama, and my advice would be;
Buy what you want, and don't worry about what you think you need or what someone else says you need.
Buy onesies with ZIPS! The person who invented poppers hates parents!
Don't overthink how you think you should feel. It took me about 4 months to get that overwhelming falling in love feeling that mothers get and I felt awful about it. But actually, more people get that than I thought.
Matt, do ANYTHING that Nat asks. No matter how unreasonable. Pregnancy is hard!
You guys are going to ace this!
Yes zippers!!
Agreed on zippers! I got the same as you for both my babies: it took me a while to love them in that overpowering way. I thought the second time might be different but it wasn't. For someone who overthink everything like me, it's pretty logical.
@@abigaelmacritchie1365 thank you for being so honest about it. I cried when I started to feel the love because I felt so guilty that I hadn't until then x
@@thehomemakersblog23 aww I'm sad for you that no one warned you 😢 I was lucky enough that my cousin's wife told me that's how she felt when she became a mum, long before I even became pregnant. She said "I needed to get to know my daughter" and that resonates so much with me. Love can be at first sight, but it almost always deepens with knowing the person, why wouldn't it be so with our babies?
@@abigaelmacritchie1365 that's lovely that you had that guidance 😊 you do need to take time to get to know the new tiny person 😊 x
Nat,
I resonate with your words so much. I’ve been crying so much from my own pregnancy symptoms.
You’re absolutely right. Everything changes immediately when you get pregnant. I’ve been so sick with my pregnancy, and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
There’s so much that feels negative around childbirth and parenting. You’re right, it’s terrifying. I want to cry listening to your words, because I too, am “spiraling in the negative.”
It’s so refreshing to hear a pregnant person say that they too are terrified and scared of the negative changes. It’s just hard. This is difficult. I don’t have any comforting words, just that I understand and you are not alone. ❤
Her words make me feel understood. My pregnancies were like hers, I got flooded with changes in my body and mind and mood. It overwhelmed me and stole my energy. It was weird because nine month were too long and too short as well. Too long because I really wanted myself back and too short because I wasn't done figuring everything out. (But the good part is I bounced back one day after giving birth both times.) Anyways ... congrats!
Currently pregnant and about to enter the third trimester and I feel every word Natalie is saying. And not to mention how taxing being pregnant in general is. My body doesn’t feel like it’s just mine any more and it’s hard to get used to.
I recognize the negative spiral completely! As a mom of two kids I can now reassure: you will grow into it all during the pregnancy. Nature designed us this way. No need to oversee it all from the start. ❤
I’m 15 weeks pregnant today and I completely understand how you feel Nat. I was feeling that way since knowing about my pregnancy. The first trimester was extremely draining for me, it wasn’t enjoyable at all. Remind yourself to listen to your body, rest if you feel like you need to rest. Take a day off if you can. I spent lots of weekends watching pregnancy videos - lots of Aussie mums on UA-cam. I feel a lot different now, my pregnancy anxiety is gone and I’m feeling so excited. All the best ❤
Best of luck to you as well!! how exciting 🎉
Congrats everything is gonna be good.
Biggest congratulations to you two! 👏👏 you got this guys! Happy new year!
Congrats, Matt & Nat! After 5 years of IVF, we just welcomed our daughter in November. Enjoy every moment. It’s an a journey!
CONGRATS!!! The ultimate minimalist baby guide is coming.
We've been waiting!!!!
@@MagicalMandi facts!!
That's a great news, Matt and Nat! I've been following you for a long time ago and I learned a lot in terms of productivity, and I am looking forward on how you develop your own productivity system being a husband and a dad. God will bless both of you!
Really really happy for both of you. Wishing you good luck.
Congrats, a child is one of the best gifts gives us.
My dad wasn't around when I was a kid, I missed that whole experience, so it's become my life goal to become a father one day.
Right now I'm building my business as a self improvement UA-camr, going to gym, eating clean, boxing, taking care of my mental health, going to church, etc...
All of these will set me up financially, physically, mentally and spiritually to be a great Father one day, I can't wait but I want to reach my full potential so I can help my son or daughter reach their full potential
Loved the video! Btw I make videos to help this upcoming generation learn and develop fundamental and life changing wisdom! Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance
Actions speak louder than words, and yours tell an incredible story.
Congratulations! Such a blessing! ❤
As someone who's due in April, totally relate to everything that natalie was saying. Both an exciting and terrifying time, especially as the person carrying the baby.
Her story telling skills are so good can see why you two are a good pair, I was hooked when she was explaining "IT'S TWO LINES!", maybe the baby will inherit this storytelling gene😂Congratulations & love to your family ❤
I love that Natalie opened up about those fears, I’ve been on the fence for so long about having kids because of all those same reasons and to see someone so opening talk about it and put the anxiety into words is so refreshing. Lots of love to you both!
Congratulations to the both of you!!! So happy! ❤
Congrats! Big change. We have two kiddos and though their needs tend to break our minimalist spirits, we make it work. It’s great. As the kids grow, they begin to appreciate it. Best of luck!
Becoming a parent IS terrifying, and it is hard but on the flipside of that there is nothing like it in the world. It is such an amazing experience watching your little ones grow! It is one of the most rewarding journeys you can undertake. I have two teen daughters now and they've shown me a new depth of love and I continue to grow as a person right alongside them. Trust that you've got this Nat, you'll be an amazing mommy!💖🙂
I had the best, and I mean the BEST experience being pregnant and giving birth. Be positive in yourself and know that you can do this. Don't listen to the negative stories because they will undoubtedly make your experience negative. Think positively, and you'll rock this pregnancy! 🧡
congratulations!!!!!! so happy for both of you!
So happy for you!!! Wish you all the best!
Congratulations!! I felt the same way as Natalie when I was pregnant: all the fears and the negative aspects of parenting were very much in my mind. And it's good to be prepared and know realistically that parts of this are going to be hard. But let me tell you from someone whose first baby turns 7 soon: nothing can prepare you for how wonderful it will be to have this new person in your life. How much you'll love them and be charmed by them and how much they'll make you laugh. You're prepared for the hard times, but rest assured there is SO MUCH good coming that you can't even imagine yet ❤️
Congrats, guys! I became a dad last year, and every part of this video brought back an incredible wave of emotions and memories. My wife and I spent 11 years living the life we wanted before our daughter entered the picture, so we definitely felt the pull of "leaving your life behind" when our daughter came along. We've kind of taken this approach of fully embracing the new with the understanding that we can always revisit the favorite parts of our former self whenever we want to. It simply requires intentionality and communication. Since you're a master Intentionist™, I have no doubt you'll find the method that brings you the most fulfillment. So stoked for you! You're going to love every second of it.
Awww congratulations you guys! ❤ So happy for both of you 🎉🎉
Congratulations, so happy for you two!
Good on Nat to realize she's both excited and terrified about the process. I have no idea why someone would go through that willingly! Hopefully everything will go smoothly. Congratulations to you both!
My baby is heading off to college this year. It was actually fun (with a little bit of hard)! Take the classes, read the books, talk to your positive friends and family members, lean on your OB. Think about all the fun childhood games, books, movies, music and experiences you will get to have with your future child.
Congrats and good luck, you two! You'll do great.
Much love to your family!
So exciting! You’re going to be great parents 🎉 thank you for sharing this with us Matt.
Congratulations! So amazing for you both ❤️
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing - not just the news but also your thoughts and feelings. All the best!
Congrats dudes! As a single Dad, it’s really tough yet amazing and totally worth it. Buckle up kids cause it’s a wild ride!
Congrats bro! A real blessing for you both
Minimalism just gets more and more important as a parent.
Congratulations 🎈
Congratulations! Thanks for such a vulnerable video Matt
Congratulations to you both!! Thank you for sharing, Natalie’s words were so on point. It’s the scariest and hardest job ever… and after you settle in… in my opinion it’s the most rewarding experience. You guys are going to be amazing parents. ❤
Kids are an amazing gift and the hardest thing ever! Congrats to you both
Congratulations!! I'm a mummy to a 14 month old and I'm 23 weeks pregnant with my second baby due in May. We plan to have more kids too. Children are such a wonderful addition to your life. You're going to love it!!
congratulations! So happy for you both!
Congratulations. I don't have kids of my own but I am an Aunt. The little things will make you laugh and smile. Their first try at words. The random things they stuff into places for you to find. How cute they look in every outfit. Their tantrums over random thing. The bizarre questions that you never even considered. There is a lot of difficulty but that is being human. We all have hard things and relationships. But there are beautiful and happy things too. And I love baby stuff! Their toys are so cool. Their outfits are awesome. Tiny shoes!
Congratulations I hope it all goes well for you both ❤❤❤
Congratulations, that’s amazing! I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and I completely understand all the things Natalie’s saying. Especially what she said about not having 9 months to prepare; that’s so true! From the moment that you are pregnant, everything changes already (mentally and fysically). Take it one day at a time, and listen to your body and mind about what is necessary at that moment. Attending a mindfulness birth-class was so helpful for me! :)
Don't worry, Nat, you'll go through waves of despair and fear, and moments of uncontainable joy and fun - through pregnancy and raising a baby. As far as I am concerned, that rollercoaster of emotion doesn't go away, you just learn to ride the waves better (and your hormones typically balance around child's age 2 or so, and that helps A TON). Congratulations! So happy for you both.
From that Nats confession how Matt's behaviour about challenge is totally matched with me...I like challenges...And I enjoy them to being shorted. I think most of the guys have that kind of behaviour. Never give up.
Congratulations both of you.
Congratulations! You two are a good team, that’s a solid foundation to start from!
I took about 3 months away from social media, I’m back on the channel and this is the 1st vid to alert me! Wow congratulations Matt & Nat 🎉🎉🎉
I love how honest Nat is, I’m a mom of 2 girls and I had 2 natural births one at a birth center and the other at home. For me motherhood is figuring it out in the way but at the same time learning/ informing yourself so you can be ready. Not just wait for someone to tell you what to do.
You guys got this!
♥️congratulations!
Congratulations!! And thank you for sharing both of your honest thoughts and fears about going into parenting!
this was so wholesome and there’s so much honesty with your thoughts and feelings and i hope it’ll be a smooth and happy journey for the both of you ☺️ congratulations!! ❤️
