Please don't ever feel bad for talking about the pregnancy. We all like your channel for you being you. Regardless what your discussing. It was quite interesting learning about the blood thing between partners. It is always good to learn new things. Ps CONGRATULATIONS x
Thank you so much, it's really nice to hear that. I'd really like to talk about it if it can help and inspire people so I will continue to do so when it feels right :) xxx
I totally agree. This time for you should be celebrated! And I can imagine watching you grow through pregnancy is hugely supportive for mums and Dads to be. Huge congratulations Athena, Harvey and of course Oslo 💜
Hey everyone, this is a very chilled and fairly chatty week vlog I made a couple of weeks ago! After sharing the news that I'm pregnant, I wanted to chat a bit about that so I obviously wrote 'pregnancy' to be clear in the title and I've added time stamps (in description) so you can skip sections if you're not interested. I'll be back with a wild camping video next week :)
Your not rambling Athena talking about significant loved ones in your life, its always so nice to keep their memories alive, they were very privileged to have had a daughter and sister like you. You and Harvey will be amazing parents and its going to be one lucky little child. 🥳 ❤️xx This video is very emotional for you and i feel your emotions so much, happy and sad ones xx
I cried and then I laughed, thank you my darling Athena for sharing. I'm really chuffed that I got 3 mentions! Love you all soooooo much and can't wait to see you soon xxx
As a fellow photographer, I can concur that he would love the fact that Harvey is making fine use of the tele lens. Every time you see a photograph made using this lens, you'll see a part of your dad. x
I agree with Aimee. Please don’t feel bad about talking about babies and pregnancy. We all love your channel and this new dimension is something to celebrate and enjoy, not hide away. Sending big virtual hugs to you for sharing your thoughts with us and giving us insights into your lovely life and your so grounded perspective on it. Love the scenery too. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you for sharing Athena! Very glad to have found your videos. As a hiking guide in Tasmania whom priorities simple low waste living with a Welsh partner who is also a tree surgeon like Harvey, it’s so lovely to see others living a similar lifestyle. Your videos are encouraging me to write that “bushwalking” guide for Tasmania I have been thinking about for years. Sending my best wishes from Tasmania
Let me tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I’m afraid I can relate what you went through. My younger sister died almost 2 years ago but I really feel she’s with me. We’re still connected. We’ll make the most of our lives for them too, for those who left way too soon. Edit: loving the baby clothes! 💚 🐻
You're a great role model for all of us you're clearly so hardworking and positive despite being faced with such adversity in your life. On a separate note I'm so interested in learning about sustainability and pregnancy so please share whatever you're happy to, I think there is a big audience for it and undoubtedly you will add loads of value 🐱💕
That’s an awful lot for a person to deal with, losing your dad and your brother, I am so sorry for your loss. Congratulations on your pregnancy you are positively beaming! Something wonderful to look forward to. xxx
I remembered watching the video and hadn't realised it had 'gone'. I am so glad you decided to make it public/ visible again. It is wonderful to listen and understand the hiking, adventuring Athena as also the mum-to-be Athena. When I was expecting my baby I felt elated but I also felt I had turned into a vessel, and felt a bit lost and scared about the change. Continuing to ride my bike(s) throughout pregnancy made me feel so empowered to continue being me. After my baby arrived I struggled with the change - a rollercoaster of emotions to be honest, happiness mixed with "oh no where is my old me, I will never be 'me' again" - it took me a long while to discover and create that amazing bond with my baby and I felt so guilty about it and that something was wrong with me, talking then to many other new mums I discovered it was totally normal. As women we are made to feel that motherhood means that a) if we love our kids then we have to sacrifice everything for them and b) it is all simply wonderful (Instagram doesn't help to be honest ha!). It is instead so important to normalise the tough bits too, and the more we can hear about the normal ups and downs of pregnancy and motherhood the more positive experiences all women can have! Long comment to say, continue to be you, do the videos you want to do and keep sharing snippets of your pregnancy whenever you want. It is so lovely to see the joy and happiness in you and Harvey, and the balance that new life can bring to the sadness of loss of loved ones. Lots of love to you and your growing family! xx
Thankyou so much for choosing to share this with us Athena. It was beautiful. To hear you so excited about the baby and your life is wonderful. You are so authentic and it really comes out in all your videos x
Awwwwwwwww...... Athena you really are a little darling...I had tears in my eyes at the start of this vlog and a big stupid smile when you were going through your shopping haul....and I’m a bloke.....!!!!!!!.....I sincerely wish you and Harvey all the best with your new arrival.....although a word from experience.....those little people do not travel light so perhaps trips on the hill will have to wait until you work out who is going to shoulder The Sherpa sized Bergen.
Fab rambling! And huge congratulations to you both! Loved the baby clothes section too - always nice to learn about ethical / sustainable baby clothing companies!
Rambling - very appropriate 🤣 (rambling = hiking 😁). Your videos are so delightful! The flowers 😍 Good to see you looking so well. PS your food always makes me feel hungry 😋😁
Hi mate. I think the connection with your Dad & brother being pregnant is because yes as you say it's the cycle of life thing but also it's because you know in your heart just how thrilled they both would be at your news. Proud Grandad & Uncle. They will be with you all the way, always xx. Had a great encounter with a Peregrine Falcon a couple of years ago at that exact spot looking down to Bleaberry Tarn just before High Stile. Take care xx
It’s not rambling. It’s you being comfortable in conversation with us all. I enjoy seeing the baby clothes, Harvey, and Onslo, and your thoughts and joy.
I started watching your videos because you visited the Outer Hebrides but now watch all of them. I love all the getting outside content and find it really relaxing to watch. However, I just wanted to say I’m enjoying the baby content too, even though my babies are now 18, 16 and 10. Such cute baby clothes! 😀
So glad you put this back up! (I started watching it the first time it was up and got half way through, then when I came back to it later it was gone and I couldn't work out if I had just imagined it...haha) Love your chatty vlogs :)
Oh my god, those clothes are so darn cute! Sometimes I wish I had children just to buy those clothes and see their cute little faces in them. I’m so happy for you three! ❤️
Such a lovely video, as always! I'm not someone that normally comments on UA-cam videos, more of a silent watcher, but your videos have brought me such joy and calm over the last year. Beyond happy for you and Harvey with the baby news and just keep doing what you want on this channel, we are all here to see what you share: pregnancy related or not! X
Lovely as always, did have a little tear when you were arranging the flowers, thoughts of my dad❤ the items for baby are beautiful and I'm sure baby is sensing all the great walks and activities 😀
Athena , thank you for sharing a slice of your life with us, you have such a beautiful spirit about you! , Congratulations, to you both, on the wonderful baby news!!!
How adorable baby clothes that you purchased! I love earthy colours and patterns are wonderful! It looks like a really nice quality! My favs are onsie (Turtledove London) and the last one from Little Green Radicals. Thank you for sharing your life with us. We love every chat, every walk and every detail that you find worth sharing!
So happy for you both. Please don’t be out off by negative comments about sharing your news. Can’t wait to hear how you progress and please keep us informed every step of the way!
What a lovely video! Those clothes for the baby are absolutely adorable 🐻 Beautiful outdoor shots too. Everything is so lush and green . Have a wonderful week💚🌿🌸
Who needs fancy equipment when a blanket will do just as well 💕 congratulations on your baby news and this video is lovely, I’m currently watching it whiles on my break at work, it’s a well needed escape.
Same I’ve just brought a camera and that’s the only bit of fancy equipment I own apart from my bikes 😂 but I’ve seen some youtubers using the recording mic but blankets are so versatile!
Congratulations 💕💗💕👶💕💗💕. They are both with you. They telling that beautiful baby all about the incredible family that little one is getting ready to meet. 💗
Hi Athena! Your Brother and Dad in heaven will be very proud of you! If you were my daughter I would be ;0). You are such an old soul, and you and Harvey are going to be great parents! X
Sorry to hear about your father but glad to see that Harvey has made a positive thing about it. I never forget the day my father died and this year I marked five years with a painting of a Blackpool tram at North Pier and put it on my Facebook page for all the family. I like the way you chat about the places you visit on your walks without giving anything of the actual route. I like it to be up to your own experience and intelligence to plan where you go, not to follow. The mist-covered mountain views are fabulous. This is going to be an even more interesting channel in the next few years.
Really love watching these kinds of videos, pregnancy and all! The walk from buttermere looked lovely, will definitely be on the list next time we go to the lakes
I don’t know why but I feel so emotional about your pregnancy. Loving following your journey! I have been following you for a while and I just know you and Harvey are going to make amazing parents. There are no two people who deserve it more. 🥰 I am also a midwife and the news you are considering homebirth it is wonderful! 💕 although I’m sure whatever you choose to do will be right for you and your little family ❤️. wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy and all your future adventures with little one 👶🏻 xxx
Congratulations Athena & Harvey, I love your channel, I was so excited when I heard your pregnancy news. Can't wait to follow your journey. Great news that you're planning a homebirth 😊
Bits and bobs vlogs are my favourite from you. As a mother of 2 children one thing I will say and you simply must take this on board. You are way more capable and powerful than you’ll ever know. Believe. You can. ✨
What a lovely video! Keep being yourself 💖 it’s always very enjoyable to watch and the baby clothes are so adorable. My partner and I just got back from a week in the Lake District and we hiked up from Wastwater towards Haystack but didn’t climb it, instead went towards Scoat Fell and over Pillar back down to Wasdale Head 😁 Red Pike was an option but we decided a slightly different route. Hopefully next time!! Thanks for a wonderful video!
Thank you guys another beautiful and relaxing video. Hugs to you for your Dads birthday I can feel your pain. You have to take baby swimming as soon as you can it’s brilliant and they love the water 😊❤️
Aww those baby clothes are so cute. I’m looking forward to following you on your pregnancy journey, I’m also rhesus negative and have had 5 babies and enjoyed bringing them up to love nature x Oh and my daughter is 27 and expecting her first baby at the end of September x
Love your rambling /love your pregnancy chatting / it’s going to be good to make it easy, natural and trailblazing for like minded women to navigate the pregnancy they desire- and family life 😉so you keep doing you 🤩
Another lovely video. You are looking so well and pregnancy suites you. The baby clothes are cute and it's so nice to share a little glimpse. You take care 🙂❤
I love the way your videos show you living your life just the way it is wet washing and all! I had a little chuckle at this...sorry...but I love the way you show such mundane things! How lovely of your Mum to send you flowers for your Dads birthday too. The baby clothes are gorgeous and brought back memories of the excitement of first being pregnant to me....my daughter was born the same year as you so its quite some time ago! I had 2 home births (in the Netherlands) and they were brilliant, you feel so in control of things when you're in your own home and no pain relief was necessary due to I believe much lower anxiety levels. Good luck with your pregnancy journey I think its great that you are including it after all its a major part of your life right now....looking forward to following you in your future adventures ad a threesome. Take care.
Great news Athena+ Harvey, I was rhesus negative too, I had the anti D injection in my upper leg+ had to carry a card back then ,you will be fine.Take care+ congrats to you all🥰
Loved this video! One of our subscribers told me about you as I think we announced our pregnancies in the same week, I think we're a similar way along so it's really comforting to hear you talk about it :-) Have loved catching up on your vlogs, all the best :-)
Aw so happy to hear that! It's been really nice to connect with other pregnant women as I don't know anyone in person pregnant right now and I'm the first of my friends. I'm going to check out your channel today too :) xxx
Big hugs from Australia. Have lost my mother and brother. Ramble on. As much as you want. Your laundry went through another rinse cycle. That's what I tell myself when that happens to me. Grow suits for the baby are so useful. The clothes don't look boyish, they look cheerful.
I can imagine the excitement and joy you must get out of buying all these wonderful baby clothes, it must be so hard to resist not buying everything as it's all so cute (especially that bear print babygrow!). I would love to see the other stuff you are buying for baby, I find it all so exciting and interesting to see what you are choosing to buy. How are you finding having no coffee? I really struggle not to have my morning coffee. Thank you for sharing another wonderful video, I look forward to these every Saturday. In terms of home birth, I don't know if you have watched Ellen Fisher? She has published at least two of her home births and they may be worth a watch. They are so beautiful and she goes into depth about methods she uses during birth regarding pain. Always worth a look! Have a lovely weekend, Emilie :)
Woohoo we will be on the road to Buttermere this time next week . Staying the weekend at the bothy in Dearham. Have a great weekend all of you . Ste , Liverpool .
Hi athena Thanks for another wonderful video Butteremere is such a wonderful valley As a new grandad I would support and encourage you to buy what ever you want for your baby it is such a special time and part of the bonding nurturing process and to take a pride in something so special I wondered if Harvey would buy second hand climbing rope!!! Good luck and all the very best 😁😁😁🧸🧸👶
Hello from another Lakeland walker. Thanks for this latest video and sharing your life journey in general (my preference is for your original 10-15 mins video duration). I wanted to let you know that your Amazon affiliate links seem to be broken? I went to check out which Canon EOS camera you use. The links you give in your description just take me to Amazon's home page?
We want to hear all about you! I hope you don’t hold back on talking about your pregnancy by of a troll or two. This is your channel, and anyone who doesn’t’t like it can hop off. We celebrate every aspect of you!
Hi Athena I'm so very happy for you and the baby clothes are so lovely. I'm your parents age and I love to follow along with your adventures. I hope to be a nanny one day so it's pretty exciting for me too with the baby coming. I remember my auntie collecting loads of baby clothes for me from charity shops etc. She washed them put them on her line and sent me a photo of them blowing in the wind. I can honestly say that I was so grateful for them as although I had new clothes as well I didn't realise how much I would need them so I used them for everyday (they were babygros) and dressed my son up in the new ones when we went out somewhere nice. Grab as many as you can from charity shops and ask your friends to do the same as they are a godsend. All the best sweetheart. xx
I’m sure you’ll see characteristics of your father and brother in your child to be. You might notice an expression he/she makes or something like that that will make you smile.
Pregnancy brings lots of emotions with it. I think it’s very normal to feel more of a connection with loved ones, dead or alive, during that time.
Please don't ever feel bad for talking about the pregnancy. We all like your channel for you being you. Regardless what your discussing. It was quite interesting learning about the blood thing between partners. It is always good to learn new things.
Ps CONGRATULATIONS x
Thank you so much, it's really nice to hear that. I'd really like to talk about it if it can help and inspire people so I will continue to do so when it feels right :) xxx
I totally agree. This time for you should be celebrated! And I can imagine watching you grow through pregnancy is hugely supportive for mums and Dads to be.
Huge congratulations Athena, Harvey and of course Oslo 💜

My partner and I just got back from a week in the Lake District and we hiked up from Wastwater towards Haystack but didn’t climb it, instead went towards Scoat Fell and over Pillar back down to Wasdale Head 😁
Red Pike was an option but we decided a slightly different route. Hopefully next time!! Thanks for a wonderful video!
Thank you guys another beautiful and relaxing video.
Hugs to you for your Dads birthday I can feel your pain.
You have to take baby swimming as soon as you can it’s brilliant and they love the water 😊❤️
Lovely video 😀 congratulations to both, it’s lovely news

Oh and my daughter is 27 and expecting her first baby at the end of September x
Love your rambling /love your pregnancy chatting / it’s going to be good to make it easy, natural and trailblazing for like minded women to navigate the pregnancy they desire- and family life 😉so you keep doing you 🤩

I just like your videos right as I start to watch them as I know they're all great 😊
Just a perfect Saturday video! God bless you 🙏
Thank you :)
I would actually love those baby clothes in an adult version...the colours and designs are so cool..
Me too! Green is my favourite colour.
I love the way your videos show you living your life just the way it is wet washing and all! I had a little chuckle at this...sorry...but I love the way you show such mundane things! How lovely of your Mum to send you flowers for your Dads birthday too. The baby clothes are gorgeous and brought back memories of the excitement of first being pregnant to me....my daughter was born the same year as you so its quite some time ago! I had 2 home births (in the Netherlands) and they were brilliant, you feel so in control of things when you're in your own home and no pain relief was necessary due to I believe much lower anxiety levels. Good luck with your pregnancy journey I think its great that you are including it after all its a major part of your life right now....looking forward to following you in your future adventures ad a threesome. Take care.
This is so exciting 😍 can’t wait for all the hiking content when babies here! Also love your jumper, where is it from? Xx
Great news Athena+ Harvey, I was rhesus negative too, I had the anti D injection in my upper leg+ had to carry a card back then ,you will be fine.Take care+ congrats to you all🥰

Thank you xx
Congratulations!!! So pleased for you. I always enjoy your "vids".
Loved this video! One of our subscribers told me about you as I think we announced our pregnancies in the same week, I think we're a similar way along so it's really comforting to hear you talk about it :-) Have loved catching up on your vlogs, all the best :-)
Aw so happy to hear that! It's been really nice to connect with other pregnant women as I don't know anyone in person pregnant right now and I'm the first of my friends. I'm going to check out your channel today too :) xxx
Stunning video as always, enjoy the swimming 😍
Lovely video :) Frugi is also really good for organic baby clothes. I got one of my friend's baby some bits from there x
Clipper Tea - made in Beaminster, Dorset, not far from me 😊
Big hugs from Australia. Have lost my mother and brother. Ramble on. As much as you want.
Your laundry went through another rinse cycle. That's what I tell myself when that happens to me.
Grow suits for the baby are so useful. The clothes don't look boyish, they look cheerful.
I can imagine the excitement and joy you must get out of buying all these wonderful baby clothes, it must be so hard to resist not buying everything as it's all so cute (especially that bear print babygrow!). I would love to see the other stuff you are buying for baby, I find it all so exciting and interesting to see what you are choosing to buy. How are you finding having no coffee? I really struggle not to have my morning coffee. Thank you for sharing another wonderful video, I look forward to these every Saturday.
In terms of home birth, I don't know if you have watched Ellen Fisher? She has published at least two of her home births and they may be worth a watch. They are so beautiful and she goes into depth about methods she uses during birth regarding pain. Always worth a look!
Have a lovely weekend, Emilie :)
Woohoo we will be on the road to Buttermere this time next week . Staying the weekend at the bothy in Dearham. Have a great weekend all of you .
Ste , Liverpool .

Good luck with everything
Hi athena
Thanks for another wonderful video
Butteremere is such a wonderful valley
As a new grandad I would support and encourage you to buy what ever you want for your baby it is such a special time and part of the bonding nurturing process and to take a pride in something so special
I wondered if Harvey would buy second hand climbing rope!!!
Good luck and all the very best 😁😁😁🧸🧸👶
aw thank you! My mum has said the same - it's out first after all! What would the second hand climbing rope be for?
Hello from another Lakeland walker. Thanks for this latest video and sharing your life journey in general (my preference is for your original 10-15 mins video duration). I wanted to let you know that your Amazon affiliate links seem to be broken? I went to check out which Canon EOS camera you use. The links you give in your description just take me to Amazon's home page?
We want to hear all about you! I hope you don’t hold back on talking about your pregnancy by of a troll or two. This is your channel, and anyone who doesn’t’t like it can hop off. We celebrate every aspect of you!
Hi Athena I'm so very happy for you and the baby clothes are so lovely. I'm your parents age and I love to follow along with your adventures. I hope to be a nanny one day so it's pretty exciting for me too with the baby coming. I remember my auntie collecting loads of baby clothes for me from charity shops etc. She washed them put them on her line and sent me a photo of them blowing in the wind. I can honestly say that I was so grateful for them as although I had new clothes as well I didn't realise how much I would need them so I used them for everyday (they were babygros) and dressed my son up in the new ones when we went out somewhere nice. Grab as many as you can from charity shops and ask your friends to do the same as they are a godsend. All the best sweetheart. xx
I’m sure you’ll see characteristics of your father and brother in your child to be. You might notice an expression he/she makes or something like that that will make you smile.
Congratulations! ....also...nice owl peeking back on you at 26:14 :)
Love your vlogs❤️🌻❤️
A front pack or backpack I found to be a great investment. I was able to get out and about in the country with my baby.
Ah yes we are looking into a few brands of those :)
What ecopsychology course are you doing? It’s a new term for me but after googling sounds very interesting!
