Sweet friends - I am so, so sorry. There is nothing worse than this feeling. I got feedback from a friend of mine who is a fertility doctor who told me so often our sweet littles can't make it because of chromosomal challenges and often times it's not because of anything we did or didn't do. My heart is with you as you navigate this journey, as I know it can be so heart breaking. Praying for your heart and your healing.
I started watching for some guides around Airbnb, but at this point I’m here hoping for the best for you both and Airbnb doesn’t matter. I’m really sorry for all this and this hard process. But I’m also pretty sure that at some point will happen and it will be in the most beautiful way. For now, the only thing that I can say is that we are here making a chain of beautiful thoughts on your direction. Because you both deserve all the good things.
Thank you so much, this comment really hits us because we weren't sure if sharing this kind of stuff was right but felt that so many of you have got to know us and we want to be honest with our videos. Thank you for being here 🤍
Dang, you guys are brave. Your pain is real and I’m sorry you’re going through this. We’ve been through a vanishing twin and one made it and that was hard. Prayers for you guys.
I struggle to find the words because really there are none. I am here. I feel the heaviness. A loss of this magnitude leaves a huge hole. Sometimes we need to just be in the hole. I adore you both and I have nothing helpful to add.
I live in Joshua tree and started cleaning in July . It’s so much to learn and to see it from the owners side that’s amazing . Thank you for sharing this 🥰.
I also suffered through 3 miscarriages and, although the loss and grief is as unique as we are to one another, I certainly empathize and can imagine how difficult it was to do that video. Thank you for having the courage, because only by sharing our experiences can we bring healing and comfort to our own lives and to others.
So very sorry for your loss. I started watching the channel for STR advice as we are starting our property soon. But, your sharing of your earlier loss connected with me and I continued to come back hoping that someday you would share wonderful news. Many, including myself have experienced multiple miscarriages. But, neither that knowledge nor other insights that people share during this time do not diminish the grief. You have experienced a significant loss and it is a real loss, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. This is an emotional roller coaster. Allow time for yourself to grieve and heal. Lean on each other. Love those around you. And, don’t give up...we were finally blessed after many years with a daughter. Love and prayers.
Thank you so much for your sweet message. We aren't giving up just yet and we will get through this, thank you so much for being here and offering your love and prayers. 🤍
I'm so sorry. It's such a painful loss and so much more common than people know. I've had 3 miscarriages and 2 healthy boys(now young men). After my 3rd miscarriage I had a D&C and then was put on progesterone during the first trimester of my next pregnancy.
losing a baby and mourning the loss of your future as you begun to allow yourself to dream what this was going to look like and then having that disappear - its the hardest thing i've experienced. i guess i count myself lucky as there are of course worse things but it was the hardest thing - it just was. way harder than i expected it to be. i was surprised how it hit me. thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your journey and pain. we follow along having started a our airbnb around the same time as you and its so supportive seeing you go through the same as us from the business side, the highs, the frustrations, the choices made. the ideas you bring and share so openly either encourage us that we've concluded the same and then see you do it or inspire us to do more where we'd not thought of something. top job and our hearts and prayers go out to you two during this difficult time. bless you guys.
Oh no 😭 im newer to your community but felt deeply something was wrong in the last video. so sorry for your loss. I've also lost a pregnancy, it's no joke. please take your time to rest and heal, honor your needs during this time. your community is holding you 🙏
We are so grateful for this community we have, doesn't matter if you're new or have been here for a while. It's not easy but comments like this make us feel not so alone. Thank you so much. 🤍
I am so sorry for your loss. Kristen, I am happy that you have such a supportive partner in Michael. I had a miscarriage 30+ years ago, and my partner was not at all supportive. I’m sure he was grieving too, but he had no idea how to support me, and wasn’t willing to learn how. It made it so much harder for me. All the best to both of you. ❤
Hey guys. So sorry for your loss. I love watching your videos and truly think you are two great human beings!! Our life has also been tipped upside down for some time. My mom died after fighting dementia for 7 years. The day she passed I asked my father to have strength and not be a statistic of giving up after your spouse of 65 years passed. He promised he wouldn’t. But with in 3 months he was showing signs of dementia. 6 months later I had to put him in the same dementia home that my mom was in. He owns the duplex that we use as a STR downstairs and use the upstairs as our second home. Our LTR tenant of 27 years upstairs passed away last year and we spent a year cleaning and updating that unit. Love having the second home but it was a LOT of work. Then we got hit with another set of bad news. My wife’s mother started to show signs of dementia. Ofcourse non of our siblings are helping and it is all on us. Then my wife lost her nephew at 31 years of age. Then our eldest sons wife had pregnancy issues at 27 weeks and had to deliver their 3rd child at only 27 1/2 weeks. And ofcourse we were the ones who were there for them and babysat their other 2 sons for about a month as their parents were going back and forth to the hospital. The baby is now home and doing great. Thank God!! During that sons baby issues my other sons wife had to go into emergency c section so once again we had their 2 sons in our house. So for 2 weeks we had 4 young boys at our house ages 7 and younger. That baby is strong and healthy and our first girl in our family of 4 boys and 5 grand sons. I’m not complaining about the babysitting. This is what family is for. But boy that was tough. Our home is now an empty nest so to go from that heaven to 4 young boys with us again. 🤪 We had 4 sons our selves but we were in our mid to late 20’s back then. Now we are approaching our 60’s. Yikes!! So yes. A lot of us are going crazy these days. I hope this helps. You two are fantastic and I wish the very best for you. Prayers and thought headed your way. If you ever need to get away we have the upstairs unit available for you. It’s in Belmont Shore, Long Beach.
Wow… so many of us are going through very similar things this year it seems! Dementia - health issues - pregnancy loss/complications - so much stress and unknown. We hope things start looking up for you all and thank you for sharing🙏🏼🤍
I am just so incredibly sorry. There is nothing that can take that pain away. There is no way to comprehend or understand why or how and what. Sending you so much love.
My condolences to both of you. I can't say I know what you're going through but I pray the good Lord gives you healing, comfort, and peace during these troubling times...
I am so deeply sorry you are experiencing this loss. It takes a lot of strength to be able to process and share this. Sincerely sending you both so many positive thoughts and light for the future.
My heart hurts so much for you two. I found your channel when I was renovating my STR about a year ago and I wanted to let you both know how much I've enjoyed your channel and watching the ups and downs of STR ownership and life in general. I've gone through 2 miscarriages myself- at 8 and 12 weeks and both after healthy ultrasounds and I can relate to all of the feelings you've expressed. The grief, the shock, the plans laid that will never come to be, feeling like you can't trust your body to do what it's meant to do. It's maddening and it can suck the joy out of the best of what you used to enjoy. My husband and I found some healing in a change of scenery and travel. Progesterone and thyroid medication ended up helping maintain my next two pregnancies when we were ready to try again. I hope you can find some peace after your grief and know that by sharing and being vulnerable you're helping others through their pain
Thank you for sharing. I have been watching you guys on UA-cam for months now. I too opened up a short term rental this year with my husband, as well as have been working on starting a family for 2 years, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, ivf, amongst other things with family going on. Thank you for getting vulnerable and know that you are not alone. Wishing you both the best and sending tons of love. Keep sharing and stay positive.
I'm sorry to hear what youre going through. We also found out we are pregnant during renovatiin right after we bought our first STR. And lost it at 8 weeks. My tears were with you while watching your video. Im so glad to see that you continue doing what you love doing. Love the videos and thanks for sharing.❤
Thank you so much for this comment, it sounds like you can more than relate to everything we went through. Hang in there, everything happens for a reason
Hey, just clicked on your yt channel. Sorry for your loss, I really hope the best for you two and especially your mental health/wellness. I hope that you both find a way thtough this rough patch. I'm not one to know how hard this could be for you.
I’m so sorry for your losses. Thank you for your vulnerability as you continue to share with your audience. This will surely help someone who is experiencing their own life challenges. Years ago, I was waiting with my mother while she received chemotherapy, and I saw this sign posted in the hospital: “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” An important reminder that we are all more connected in this life experience than we might think. Happier times are ahead. Until then, wishing you strength and peace. 🤍
Hi Guys we also have holiday lets and the mortgage rates goin through the roof its mad us very depressed we are just holding our heads above water, we are very upset for your loss of your baby, please look at the future you will be ok, love from the UK
I never post, but I follow you guys and listen to your advice. I want you to know that you're not alone and we all deal with some form of loss, even losing unborn children. In my family alone, between my sisters and I, we lost unborn children. And young siblings, cousins. It's deep, it cuts, it's life-changing. Sometimes the blessings come down the line... took us 3 years to have our first child, and the 2nd one was 6 years later (almost to the day, 4 days apart). Now, I laugh, cause those two girls are my blessings even though there was a lot of pain along the way. Don't be sorry. It's ok to mourn your loss, even publicly. Sending you much love from Florida.
Holla Kristen & Michael , Tengo desde que comenzaron uds , viendo sus vídeos y hasta ahora me suscribí a su canal . Porque este vídeo me hizo llorar ya que mi hija acaba de pasar la misma experiencia y nos dolió mucho a todos pero le decíamos que fuera fuerte que lo bueno que había pasado ahora y no después que ya fueran más meses más grande . Pero al verte a ti por fin comprendí el gran dolor que mi niña ( mi hija ) siente y que es muy difícil de entender para los que no lo estamos sintiendo . Dios te de tranquilidad a ti y a mi hija para seguir adelante . Y que ese sueño de tener su bebé se cumpla muy pronto . Dios los bendiga !! Me encantan sus vídeos . ❤
I am so heartbroken for you guys. you have so much courage to put this part of your private life online. You are loved by so many and your family is amazing - glad you have them for support! 😭
Thinking of you guys ❤ I'm so sorry for the losses you've faced. I can't imagine how hard it was to share about this. I was thinking the other day... people say "why don't more people talk openly about XYZ?" and it's because in the moment, whatever the thing is that's so painful, it's often just TOO HARD to verbalize it publicly, or even with a therapist. It takes a lot of time and processing for most people to feel through their emotions. So, please don't feel any pressure to share things on UA-cam if you need time to process them. Do whatever you feel most aligned with, but please know that we respect your privacy and understand that no one can be magically positive 24/7. You're human, you're dynamic, and among life's many incredible joys are also many incredible challenges and sadnesses ❤ We see your pain and are here to listen and support.
so very very proud of you guys, being open about this and giving yourselves space to heal was crucial. you guys are so selfless in your sharing. thanks for being positive lights in the world
I thought you might be pregnant when I noticed Michael wanting you to stay inside as it was hot his dad was there and you were putting snacks together. I was hopeful but worried too especially when you said it was a hard time. I so want for you both to be parents, and even w other ways. But most of all I pray for both of you to be there for each other as this puts a strain on marriages. Please keep supporting g to each other and lean on family and friends. for some, it happens when you are not trying or right after adopting:) You are so brave and wonderful to share these honest and hurting times and I know it helps others too since many do it share about the pain. Hopefully you will get answers form genetic testing. I always felt bad for my sister and cousins who were not able to hold their pregnancies . They became awesome aunties and god mothers. Just know we all care for you both and are sending our love, prayers and support virtually 💜
You definitely read that right, it was really hard not having a teammate but I wanted her to stay inside and make sure she was taking care of herself. We really appreciate the love and support you have given us through your interactions on our videos. Thank you so much. 🤍
I'm so sorry for your loss. Take it one day at a time. It's perfectly fine to focus on yourselves. That's what you need right now. Sending positive thoughts your way.
Just watched this video, and my heart is breaking for you both. There are no words of comfort I can give, but know you are both in my thoughts, and I wish nothing but pure light and love over you and your families. ❤
Thank you guys again for sharing! We are also hosts just starting and subscribed to your channel for that reason. I now realizing it’s much more than that. please keep sharing. You both are so brave. I’m so sorry for your loss. I can only be with you in spirit but know your are heard. thank you!
I've been watching your videos for a while now. My husband and I are moving our family to Yucca Valley very soon and I've loved seeing little pieces of the area. I appreciate you sharing what you're going through in real life. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I had a miscarriage, myself before my second son and it's not fun. You're right. people don't talk about the details. It sucks. No other words for it. I hope things get easier for you soon. Sending love
I'm so sorry you two are going through such a rough year! Losing a pregnancy, along with all the hopes & dreams is so hard. You're such a loving couple, who has so much love to give! I pray you'll be blessed with a healthy pregnancy and baby before long! I wish you the best moving forward!! 🙏❤️🙏
I cried watching this episode. If it brings you any consolation, this experience may have set the stage for you and Michael to become more ready for your next pregnancy and birth. And i think you both will be good parents when it happens, and it might actually be way better situation or timing for you both. I am grateful that you have the courage to share these heart wrenching moments with us in youtube world. It reminds us that being a human is complex. Life and Death. LIght and Darkness. We wouldn't know one without the other. Thank you for having the courage to share both. Wishin you both health, joy, abundance, and healing. Love and Light.
My heart is with you and Michael. What your going through is so difficult and deeply personal so thank you for sharing. I’m praying for your health and healing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry for what you guys are going through, I went through the same and I can feel your pain, just letting you know that we are here and we support you, sending love from Iceland.
Sending you both so much healing energy. 🌅✨💖 2023 has been quite the year for me as well. I truly wish the best for you guys!! You deserve so much happiness. 🥰🦋💕
We'll definitely take all of that healing energy we can get. It truly feels that the majority of people we have talked to have experienced this year to be a difficult one and we hope you get through this year and send you some love back! Thanks so much for the kind message.
Hi Kristen and Michael, it is brave of you to share this pain to keep it real. Because it is artificial to think it is all good all the time. And you both are so much more relatable. Even though I personally have not gone through but my sisters did it was tough. I pray for you both because as you pass through this valley you sure will come out because God is always Good. Please read Psalam 91 daily. And I would point you to the magic the secret book by Rhonda. I feel you may already know this. But did not want to assume. ❤️🙏
Big hugs. ❤ You guys are awesome, your enthusiasm is amazing in a real sense. Now your grieving is raw, courageous and very challenging. I hope sharing helps the healing process. Showing your vulnerability is so brave. 😢 Friends have gone through similar issues and were both blessed with babies after so much heartbreak.
Thank you for the love & kindness. Hoping the honesty helps others feel safe in what they’re going through. Editing this was definitely cathartic. 🤍Here’s to brighter days and seeing how it gets better!
You are an amazing young couple and I have been following your channel from the beginning. It is refreshing to see how much you care for each other, and how much you have accomplished together! My husband and I also have a house that we remodeled and rent as a STR, I find so many things in common with you. It breaks my heart to know what you have been going through. Sending you all the positive energy in the world. Please don't give up! ❤
Words cannot express my sorrow for you both. I can’t imagine the weeks you have struggled through and the days and weeks ahead, but know I send you strength. For today, tomorrow, and your future as you walk this path with grief attempting to make sense of the senseless and taking steps forward. ❤ Stay strong, give yourself grace to take time for you, and know there is compassion for your loss, even from people like us you’ve never met. Hugs to you both.
Started following you both for the VR aspect, stayed because of your authentic, beautiful, loving spirit. So very sorry for your 💔 loss. God Bless and may you find some comfort knowing people you've never met are 🙏 for you both.
I am so sorry for your Loss Kristen & Michael, so heartbreaking you got to go that through 😭🥺 Blessings for you 🙏 I Love you and your channel, always waiting for each video to come.
oh Sweetie .... You have every right NOT to share your personal lives with us out here . No one is going to call you out at NOT being authentic ( so California ) Being human is not easy . We learn to roll with it's many punches . Fill your life with people you love and who love you . Celebrate the wonderful things that you get to experience . Your lives are amazing ! You're young still and there is so much more ahead for you ! your UA-cam family out here really DO care for you both . Hang in there kids . it too shall pass
So sorry for your loss 😢 it’s such a joy to watch you both working so hard on your dreams. Thinking of you and sending lots of positivity during this tough time. ❤
I am so sorry. This is heartbreaking for you both, Im sure. As someone who went through infertility, one thing that is very important is to get your thyroid levels checked. There is a optimal level you need to get and maintain pregnancy. Not sure this applies but I thought I would pass along
Thank you so much for sharing, that's our next step is to get testing done to see what the issue could be and this is a really good tip. We will definitely be adding it to our list of tests. Thank you so much 🤍
🥺🥺🥺 I am so sorry.. oh my new friends. There is a product from “Standard Process” called Utrophine. I’ve had over 7 friends who was like you that could get pregnant and not carry full term. I totally understand, I had 2 miscarriages & tried for 3 yrs to get a pregnancy to stick but my 3rd one did and then when he was 8mo my body decided it knew what to do and I got pregnant again ❤😊 I share this to give you hope.
Awww guys….. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. This video was tough to watch. It brought back many memories of my husband’s and my experience. Nothing anyone says can make things better but know that God’s timing is perfect. At least that’s what my mom said to me when I went through it thirty plus years ago. Your love and support for each other is evident and will for sure get you through it. Sorry I’m rambling but I’ll pray for you and your family. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and rambling. We appreciate hearing how normal it is because no one really talks about it. You're right, the timing will be perfect. 🤍
It’s a very thought time and a hard reality to accept, but from experience I can tell you that the sun always shine again and maybe the future holds a bless for you two and I hope you can have that baby that you’re looking for. There is nothing wrong with your body or you didn’t do nothing wrong, but nature has unknown (yet) reasons for this. As someone who went through this two times I can only send you a hug and the comment that this situation puts extra weight on the couple but it’s totally feasible to get out of this stronger as you both are suffering and you both can rebuild themselves… it just take time, communication, do the grief and commit with each other even more! After all I had a divorce because this broke us apart, but now I found someone else incredible, we had our little princess after another miscarriage and we’re happier than ever! Keep going! xoxo
Life can be so challenging!! I'm so sorry to hear what you and your family are going through right now!! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Praying for you and your family!! 🙏
@@kristenandmichael please always remember that in life everything is temporary, the good and the bad. We all will face peeks and valleys. This period of your life will end and there will be wonderful days ahead waiting for you ❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. I suffered a miscarriage also. The pain will ease, but the love of the child you never met will remain forever. I wish the best for you in the future.
I know it took a lot not just to record this but to actually share it. Kristen you're so right. People don't share the full process of going through a miscarriage. Ours lasted for 3 months and still ended with a D&C. I know no word can adequately express the pain you're feeling. A scripture that has helped bring some comfort this year has been 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: "Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles so that we may be able to comfort those experiencing any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." I hope it will bring you comfort too. Will be praying for you all.
Thank you so much for you kind comment and the prayers. Wow, 3 months and surgery sounds like a very heavy time in your life. Thank you for sharing with us. It helps us not feel so alone in this whole thing. Wishing you the best and thanks for being here 🤍
So sorry for your loss. My understanding is that Progesterone maintains a pregnancy. Be sure that your doctor checks it on a regular basis with a future pregnancy as levels can fluctuate. Best wishes to you & your families!
My 2023 was interesting ….. I went in for scheduled open heart surgery in July and was set to be off for 3 months til late October…. In early September I had a seizure while driving. No harm no accident and I did testing and I have to take medication for a loooong period of time going forward. It could be attached to open heart surgery or a prior accident where I got hit by a car a few years ago … medication is ok but I can’t drive for another 5 months and I don’t know if I take medication for rest of life and if I get another seizure whenever again or it was one off. Not to compare it to losing a child 2x in 1 year but just a comment that things can go a little sideways for others too. Your situation is far far more tragic Wish you success in actually having a child to term😊🙏👍 Thanks Mark Euringer
Kristen I don’t know u personally but I can say you are a beautiful person. I have a STR and it’s successful, I come to your channel because you and Michael are just so genuine. This video had me in tears, I’m so sorry that things took this turn. Hang in there, you will be parents and u will be the best parents ever because situations like this makes us stronger people. Focus on the beautiful relationship you have with each other, before you realize it, you will have your beautiful baby in your arms. Stay hopeful lady❤
I have been where you are right now, and I know the emotions, but this is your journey and I pray that you get through it with all the strength you need. I don't think you need to worry so much about what you share, this is still YOUR life and you share what you want to share. I think that may be a problem with UA-cam culture that some people may feel entitled to every aspect of your life when they are not. So please do not feel that you are letting anyone down, or that you're not sharing when you don't really have to. Keep some things private. I don't know your spiritual faith, but in the Bible, Isaiah chapter 30, verse 15 "...In quietness and confidence is your strength." Only the Lord knows of his plans for you, rest on that!
Thank you for this. You're right - that is how it feels sometimes with "YT culture," at least the feeling of it can be pressure-filled BTS. We are so grateful though for the wonderfully kind community we've created here, you included, sharing these thoughtful and reassuring words during such difficult times. Thank you for the verse, we are very spiritual and appreciate it more than you know.
Has 2023 been hard yes - my 15 year old grandson was diagnosed with used w leukemia at this time of October 2022, he is in remission but the chemo and meds continue for 2-3 more years and we pray he doesn’t get infection or that the bone marrow doesn’t start making cancerous cells again. He has Trouble eating and keeping h any weight on. We’ve lived a crazy year with emotional up’s and downs. Learned to ride the roller coaster I guess . 😊 we are thankful for every day that we get to spend with him He spent every holiday last year in the children’s hospital.
I know you probably don't want to hear this right now, but have your thought about adoption? We adopted when I couldn't stay pregnant. I have two wonderful sons now
Remember that at the end of every storm, there is a rainbow. You will come out on the other side of this and you will find yourselves in a better position. You are not alone, and we see you!
If you don't know if it will solve it, then please don't insert unnecessary commentary on people's weight in general. It can come off as extremely insensitive.
Sweet friends - I am so, so sorry. There is nothing worse than this feeling. I got feedback from a friend of mine who is a fertility doctor who told me so often our sweet littles can't make it because of chromosomal challenges and often times it's not because of anything we did or didn't do. My heart is with you as you navigate this journey, as I know it can be so heart breaking. Praying for your heart and your healing.
Erin 🤍We know you guys get it so deeply too. Thank you for the love and support. 🤍🙏🏼
I started watching for some guides around Airbnb, but at this point I’m here hoping for the best for you both and Airbnb doesn’t matter.
I’m really sorry for all this and this hard process. But I’m also pretty sure that at some point will happen and it will be in the most beautiful way. For now, the only thing that I can say is that we are here making a chain of beautiful thoughts on your direction. Because you both deserve all the good things.
Thank you so much, this comment really hits us because we weren't sure if sharing this kind of stuff was right but felt that so many of you have got to know us and we want to be honest with our videos. Thank you for being here 🤍
Please be strong there is light at the end of the tunnel ! A lots of love and hugs from Morocco
Always light at the end of the tunnel, thank you for the reminder. And thank you for watching all the way around the world! 🤍
Dang, you guys are brave. Your pain is real and I’m sorry you’re going through this. We’ve been through a vanishing twin and one made it and that was hard. Prayers for you guys.
We had never even heard of a vanishing twin until we went through this! So glad one of yours made it. Thank you so much. 🤍
I struggle to find the words because really there are none. I am here. I feel the heaviness. A loss of this
magnitude leaves a huge hole. Sometimes we need to just be in the hole. I adore you both and I have nothing helpful to add.
Love you 🤍
I live in Joshua tree and started cleaning in July . It’s so much to learn and to see it from the owners side that’s amazing . Thank you for sharing this 🥰.
I also suffered through 3 miscarriages and, although the loss and grief is as unique as we are to one another, I certainly empathize and can imagine how difficult it was to do that video. Thank you for having the courage, because only by sharing our experiences can we bring healing and comfort to our own lives and to others.
Thank you for sharing. Sending love and prayers for healing - mind body soul! Big hugs sent.
Thank you so much. 🤍
So very sorry for your loss. I started watching the channel for STR advice as we are starting our property soon. But, your sharing of your earlier loss connected with me and I continued to come back hoping that someday you would share wonderful news. Many, including myself have experienced multiple miscarriages. But, neither that knowledge nor other insights that people share during this time do not diminish the grief. You have experienced a significant loss and it is a real loss, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. This is an emotional roller coaster. Allow time for yourself to grieve and heal. Lean on each other. Love those around you. And, don’t give up...we were finally blessed after many years with a daughter. Love and prayers.
Thank you so much for your sweet message. We aren't giving up just yet and we will get through this, thank you so much for being here and offering your love and prayers. 🤍
it takes a lot to come out here and share - much respect to you !
Prayers and love to you both. 🙏 ❤
Thank you so much. 🤍
I'm so sorry. It's such a painful loss and so much more common than people know. I've had 3 miscarriages and 2 healthy boys(now young men). After my 3rd miscarriage I had a D&C and then was put on progesterone during the first trimester of my next pregnancy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have followed your journey. I am crying for you guys. Prayers for your family.
losing a baby and mourning the loss of your future as you begun to allow yourself to dream what this was going to look like and then having that disappear - its the hardest thing i've experienced. i guess i count myself lucky as there are of course worse things but it was the hardest thing - it just was. way harder than i expected it to be. i was surprised how it hit me. thank you for putting yourself out there and sharing your journey and pain. we follow along having started a our airbnb around the same time as you and its so supportive seeing you go through the same as us from the business side, the highs, the frustrations, the choices made. the ideas you bring and share so openly either encourage us that we've concluded the same and then see you do it or inspire us to do more where we'd not thought of something. top job and our hearts and prayers go out to you two during this difficult time. bless you guys.
So sorry for your loss. My prayers and thought are with you.
Thank you so much. 🤍
I am so sorry 🙏🏼😔🙏🏼, but You know we love you both so much 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Thank you so much. 🤍
Oh no 😭 im newer to your community but felt deeply something was wrong in the last video. so sorry for your loss. I've also lost a pregnancy, it's no joke. please take your time to rest and heal, honor your needs during this time. your community is holding you 🙏
We are so grateful for this community we have, doesn't matter if you're new or have been here for a while. It's not easy but comments like this make us feel not so alone. Thank you so much. 🤍
I am so sorry for your loss. Kristen, I am happy that you have such a supportive partner in Michael. I had a miscarriage 30+ years ago, and my partner was not at all supportive. I’m sure he was grieving too, but he had no idea how to support me, and wasn’t willing to learn how. It made it so much harder for me. All the best to both of you. ❤
Hey guys. So sorry for your loss. I love watching your videos and truly think you are two great human beings!!
Our life has also been tipped upside down for some time.
My mom died after fighting dementia for 7 years. The day she passed I asked my father to have strength and not be a statistic of giving up after your spouse of 65 years passed. He promised he wouldn’t.
But with in 3 months he was showing signs of dementia. 6 months later I had to put him in the same dementia home that my mom was in.
He owns the duplex that we use as a STR downstairs and use the upstairs as our second home. Our LTR tenant of 27 years upstairs passed away last year and we spent a year cleaning and updating that unit. Love having the second home but it was a LOT of work.
Then we got hit with another set of bad news. My wife’s mother started to show signs of dementia. Ofcourse non of our siblings are helping and it is all on us.
Then my wife lost her nephew at 31 years of age.
Then our eldest sons wife had pregnancy issues at 27 weeks and had to deliver their 3rd child at only 27 1/2 weeks. And ofcourse we were the ones who were there for them and babysat their other 2 sons for about a month as their parents were going back and forth to the hospital. The baby is now home and doing great. Thank God!!
During that sons baby issues my other sons wife had to go into emergency c section so once again we had their 2 sons in our house. So for 2 weeks we had 4 young boys at our house ages 7 and younger. That baby is strong and healthy and our first girl in our family of 4 boys and 5 grand sons.
I’m not complaining about the babysitting. This is what family is for. But boy that was tough. Our home is now an empty nest so to go from that heaven to 4 young boys with us again. 🤪
We had 4 sons our selves but we were in our mid to late 20’s back then. Now we are approaching our 60’s. Yikes!!
So yes. A lot of us are going crazy these days.
I hope this helps.
You two are fantastic and I wish the very best for you.
Prayers and thought headed your way.
If you ever need to get away we have the upstairs unit available for you. It’s in Belmont Shore, Long Beach.
Wow… so many of us are going through very similar things this year it seems! Dementia - health issues - pregnancy loss/complications - so much stress and unknown. We hope things start looking up for you all and thank you for sharing🙏🏼🤍
I am just so incredibly sorry. There is nothing that can take that pain away. There is no way to comprehend or understand why or how and what. Sending you so much love.
Thank you so much 🤍
life is so difficult sometimes. I'm glad you have each other.
🤍
Sending love and prayers!
Thank you so much. 🤍
I am deeply sorry for you guys and I send a lot of positive energy towards you to help you recover and heal
My condolences to both of you. I can't say I know what you're going through but I pray the good Lord gives you healing, comfort, and peace during these troubling times...
Thank you so much 🤍
I am so deeply sorry you are experiencing this loss. It takes a lot of strength to be able to process and share this. Sincerely sending you both so many positive thoughts and light for the future.
Wife and I have had this happen twice to us too, we had our 2nd baby (rainbow baby) soon after the 2nd miscarriage. Wishing all the best for you two
Thank you so much. 🤍
My heart hurts so much for you two. I found your channel when I was renovating my STR about a year ago and I wanted to let you both know how much I've enjoyed your channel and watching the ups and downs of STR ownership and life in general. I've gone through 2 miscarriages myself- at 8 and 12 weeks and both after healthy ultrasounds and I can relate to all of the feelings you've expressed. The grief, the shock, the plans laid that will never come to be, feeling like you can't trust your body to do what it's meant to do. It's maddening and it can suck the joy out of the best of what you used to enjoy. My husband and I found some healing in a change of scenery and travel. Progesterone and thyroid medication ended up helping maintain my next two pregnancies when we were ready to try again. I hope you can find some peace after your grief and know that by sharing and being vulnerable you're helping others through their pain
Thank you for sharing this with us, Holly, and we're sorry to hear about your journey through this as well.
Thank you for sharing. I have been watching you guys on UA-cam for months now. I too opened up a short term rental this year with my husband, as well as have been working on starting a family for 2 years, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, ivf, amongst other things with family going on. Thank you for getting vulnerable and know that you are not alone. Wishing you both the best and sending tons of love. Keep sharing and stay positive.
Thank you so much for watching along and it sounds like you very much understand everything we are going through. Helps us to not feel so alone! 🤍
I'm sorry to hear what youre going through. We also found out we are pregnant during renovatiin right after we bought our first STR. And lost it at 8 weeks. My tears were with you while watching your video. Im so glad to see that you continue doing what you love doing. Love the videos and thanks for sharing.❤
Thank you so much for this comment, it sounds like you can more than relate to everything we went through. Hang in there, everything happens for a reason
Hey, just clicked on your yt channel.
Sorry for your loss, I really hope the best for you two and especially your mental health/wellness.
I hope that you both find a way thtough this rough patch. I'm not one to know how hard this could be for you.
I am so sorry. Sending you both so much love. You will be a mom and a dad one day. That is for sure. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I’m so sorry for your losses. Thank you for your vulnerability as you continue to share with your audience. This will surely help someone who is experiencing their own life challenges.
Years ago, I was waiting with my mother while she received chemotherapy, and I saw this sign posted in the hospital:
“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.” An important reminder that we are all more connected in this life experience than we might think.
Happier times are ahead. Until then, wishing you strength and peace. 🤍
Hi Guys we also have holiday lets and the mortgage rates goin through the roof its mad us very depressed we are just holding our heads above water, we are very upset for your loss of your baby, please look at the future you will be ok, love from the UK
I never post, but I follow you guys and listen to your advice. I want you to know that you're not alone and we all deal with some form of loss, even losing unborn children. In my family alone, between my sisters and I, we lost unborn children. And young siblings, cousins. It's deep, it cuts, it's life-changing. Sometimes the blessings come down the line... took us 3 years to have our first child, and the 2nd one was 6 years later (almost to the day, 4 days apart). Now, I laugh, cause those two girls are my blessings even though there was a lot of pain along the way. Don't be sorry. It's ok to mourn your loss, even publicly. Sending you much love from Florida.
My condolences to you and your family. You two stay strong!!
Thank you so much. 🤍
Holla Kristen & Michael , Tengo desde que comenzaron uds , viendo sus vídeos y hasta ahora me suscribí a su canal . Porque este vídeo me hizo llorar ya que mi hija acaba de pasar la misma experiencia y nos dolió mucho a todos pero le decíamos que fuera fuerte que lo bueno que había pasado ahora y no después que ya fueran más meses más grande . Pero al verte a ti por fin comprendí el gran dolor que mi niña ( mi hija ) siente y que es muy difícil de entender para los que no lo estamos sintiendo . Dios te de tranquilidad a ti y a mi hija para seguir adelante . Y que ese sueño de tener su bebé se cumpla muy pronto . Dios los bendiga !! Me encantan sus vídeos . ❤
There are no words that'll ever be able to take this pain away. I'm so sorry and I'm sending you both so much love.
Focus on what matters most to the both of you, nothing else is a rush right now. Be well.
Thank you so much. 🤍
I am so heartbroken for you guys. you have so much courage to put this part of your private life online. You are loved by so many and your family is amazing - glad you have them for support! 😭
Thank you so much. We are very blessed. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
Thinking of you guys ❤ I'm so sorry for the losses you've faced. I can't imagine how hard it was to share about this. I was thinking the other day... people say "why don't more people talk openly about XYZ?" and it's because in the moment, whatever the thing is that's so painful, it's often just TOO HARD to verbalize it publicly, or even with a therapist. It takes a lot of time and processing for most people to feel through their emotions. So, please don't feel any pressure to share things on UA-cam if you need time to process them. Do whatever you feel most aligned with, but please know that we respect your privacy and understand that no one can be magically positive 24/7. You're human, you're dynamic, and among life's many incredible joys are also many incredible challenges and sadnesses ❤ We see your pain and are here to listen and support.
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
I'm sorry for your and your husband's loss. Praying 🙏🏼
We will take all the prayers we can get, thank you so much 🙏
I’m so sorry😞 your time will come! Be patient and try to enjoy time with each other. You guys got this!
Thank you so much. 🤍
so very very proud of you guys, being open about this and giving yourselves space to heal was crucial. you guys are so selfless in your sharing. thanks for being positive lights in the world
I thought you might be pregnant when I noticed Michael wanting you to stay inside as it was hot his dad was there and you were putting snacks together. I was hopeful but worried too especially when you said it was a hard time. I so want for you both to be parents, and even w other ways. But most of all I pray for both of you to be there for each other as this puts a strain on marriages. Please keep supporting g to each other and lean on family and friends. for some, it happens when you are not trying or right after adopting:) You are so brave and wonderful to share these honest and hurting times and I know it helps others too since many do it share about the pain. Hopefully you will get answers form genetic testing. I always felt bad for my sister and cousins who were not able to hold their pregnancies . They became awesome aunties and god mothers. Just know we all care for you both and are sending our love, prayers and support virtually 💜
You definitely read that right, it was really hard not having a teammate but I wanted her to stay inside and make sure she was taking care of herself. We really appreciate the love and support you have given us through your interactions on our videos. Thank you so much. 🤍
I'm so sorry for your loss. Take it one day at a time. It's perfectly fine to focus on yourselves. That's what you need right now. Sending positive thoughts your way.
Sending your family love ❤️ 😢
Just watched this video, and my heart is breaking for you both. There are no words of comfort I can give, but know you are both in my thoughts, and I wish nothing but pure light and love over you and your families. ❤
We love you ❤❤❤ sending prayers 💔💔💔
Thank you so much. 🤍
Hang in there. Brighter days ahead.
Thank you so much. 🤍
Thank you guys again for sharing!
We are also hosts just starting and subscribed to your channel for that reason.
I now realizing it’s much more than that. please keep sharing. You both are so brave. I’m so sorry for your loss. I can only be with you in spirit but know your are heard. thank you!
Thank you guys for being here and on this journey with us! Your words resonate and we are very grateful
I've been watching your videos for a while now. My husband and I are moving our family to Yucca Valley very soon and I've loved seeing little pieces of the area. I appreciate you sharing what you're going through in real life. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I had a miscarriage, myself before my second son and it's not fun. You're right. people don't talk about the details. It sucks. No other words for it. I hope things get easier for you soon. Sending love
I'm so sorry you two are going through such a rough year! Losing a pregnancy, along with all the hopes & dreams is so hard. You're such a loving couple, who has so much love to give! I pray you'll be blessed with a healthy pregnancy and baby before long! I wish you the best moving forward!! 🙏❤️🙏
Thank you so much 🤍
I cried watching this episode. If it brings you any consolation, this experience may have set the stage for you and Michael to become more ready for your next pregnancy and birth. And i think you both will be good parents when it happens, and it might actually be way better situation or timing for you both. I am grateful that you have the courage to share these heart wrenching moments with us in youtube world. It reminds us that being a human is complex. Life and Death. LIght and Darkness. We wouldn't know one without the other. Thank you for having the courage to share both. Wishin you both health, joy, abundance, and healing. Love and Light.
Beautiful couple ❤
Life is hard and you are doing a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the love & kindness🤍
My heart is with you and Michael. What your going through is so difficult and deeply personal so thank you for sharing. I’m praying for your health and healing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so sorry for what you guys are going through, I went through the same and I can feel your pain, just letting you know that we are here and we support you, sending love from Iceland.
Stay strong. There’s light at the end ..❤❤❤
We believe that! Thank you
Sending you both so much healing energy. 🌅✨💖 2023 has been quite the year for me as well. I truly wish the best for you guys!! You deserve so much happiness. 🥰🦋💕
We'll definitely take all of that healing energy we can get. It truly feels that the majority of people we have talked to have experienced this year to be a difficult one and we hope you get through this year and send you some love back! Thanks so much for the kind message.
Hi Kristen and Michael, it is brave of you to share this pain to keep it real. Because it is artificial to think it is all good all the time. And you both are so much more relatable. Even though I personally have not gone through but my sisters did it was tough.
I pray for you both because as you pass through this valley you sure will come out because God is always Good. Please read Psalam 91 daily. And I would point you to the magic the secret book by Rhonda. I feel you may already know this. But did not want to assume. ❤️🙏
I am so sorry! So very sorry!
Big hugs. ❤
You guys are awesome, your enthusiasm is amazing in a real sense. Now your grieving is raw, courageous and very challenging. I hope sharing helps the healing process.
Showing your vulnerability is so brave. 😢
Friends have gone through similar issues and were both blessed with babies after so much heartbreak.
Thank you for the love & kindness. Hoping the honesty helps others feel safe in what they’re going through. Editing this was definitely cathartic. 🤍Here’s to brighter days and seeing how it gets better!
You are an amazing young couple and I have been following your channel from the beginning. It is refreshing to see how much you care for each other, and how much you have accomplished together! My husband and I also have a house that we remodeled and rent as a STR, I find so many things in common with you. It breaks my heart to know what you have been going through. Sending you all the positive energy in the world. Please don't give up! ❤
So very sorry for your loss. It is good to ask for help with your side business when you have hard moments. Sending you both prayers.
Agreed… and thank you 🤍🙏🏼
Words cannot express my sorrow for you both. I can’t imagine the weeks you have struggled through and the days and weeks ahead, but know I send you strength. For today, tomorrow, and your future as you walk this path with grief attempting to make sense of the senseless and taking steps forward. ❤ Stay strong, give yourself grace to take time for you, and know there is compassion for your loss, even from people like us you’ve never met. Hugs to you both.
So much love to you ❤✨
Thank you
Started following you both for the VR aspect, stayed because of your authentic, beautiful, loving spirit. So very sorry for your 💔 loss. God Bless and may you find some comfort knowing people you've never met are 🙏 for you both.
Thank you for the love always, Heather. Your words mean so much 🤍
I am so sorry for your Loss Kristen & Michael, so heartbreaking you got to go that through 😭🥺
Blessings for you 🙏 I Love you and your channel, always waiting for each video to come.
Thank you so much 🤍

I know you feel overwhelmed but family comes first. Your doing a great job!
Thank you!! 😊
everything ok? 😮
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching 🤍
Im so sorry 🙏🏼
You two are so inspiring even -- maybe especially -- when trajedy hits. Hang in there.
thank you🤍🥺will do!
So sorry for your loss 😢 it’s such a joy to watch you both working so hard on your dreams. Thinking of you and sending lots of positivity during this tough time. ❤
Thank you so much 🤍
I am so sorry. This is heartbreaking for you both, Im sure. As someone who went through infertility, one thing that is very important is to get your thyroid levels checked. There is a optimal level you need to get and maintain pregnancy. Not sure this applies but I thought I would pass along
Thank you so much for sharing, that's our next step is to get testing done to see what the issue could be and this is a really good tip. We will definitely be adding it to our list of tests. Thank you so much 🤍
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤. Love you guys!
thank you for all the support and love, always
I am so so sorry you two. Sending you love ❤
Thank you 🤍
🥺🥺🥺 I am so sorry.. oh my new friends.
There is a product from “Standard Process” called Utrophine.
I’ve had over 7 friends who was like you that could get pregnant and not carry full term.
I totally understand, I had 2 miscarriages & tried for 3 yrs to get a pregnancy to stick but my 3rd one did and then when he was 8mo my body decided it knew what to do and I got pregnant again ❤😊 I share this to give you hope.
Thank you so much. We will definitely look into that! 🤍
Awww guys….. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. This video was tough to watch. It brought back many memories of my husband’s and my experience. Nothing anyone says can make things better but know that God’s timing is perfect. At least that’s what my mom said to me when I went through it thirty plus years ago. Your love and support for each other is evident and will for sure get you through it. Sorry I’m rambling but I’ll pray for you and your family. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and rambling. We appreciate hearing how normal it is because no one really talks about it. You're right, the timing will be perfect. 🤍
It’s a very thought time and a hard reality to accept, but from experience I can tell you that the sun always shine again and maybe the future holds a bless for you two and I hope you can have that baby that you’re looking for. There is nothing wrong with your body or you didn’t do nothing wrong, but nature has unknown (yet) reasons for this.
As someone who went through this two times I can only send you a hug and the comment that this situation puts extra weight on the couple but it’s totally feasible to get out of this stronger as you both are suffering and you both can rebuild themselves… it just take time, communication, do the grief and commit with each other even more! After all I had a divorce because this broke us apart, but now I found someone else incredible, we had our little princess after another miscarriage and we’re happier than ever! Keep going! xoxo
Sending out prayers to you guys 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
Life can be so challenging!! I'm so sorry to hear what you and your family are going through right now!! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Praying for you and your family!! 🙏
And we thought 2020 was bad… here’s to brighter days and seeing how it gets better! Thank you for the love & support 🤍
@@kristenandmichael please always remember that in life everything is temporary, the good and the bad. We all will face peeks and valleys. This period of your life will end and there will be wonderful days ahead waiting for you ❤️
Sending you guys lots of love❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I suffered a miscarriage also. The pain will ease, but the love of the child you never met will remain forever. I wish the best for you in the future.
Thank you so much for the kind message. 🤍
I know it took a lot not just to record this but to actually share it. Kristen you're so right. People don't share the full process of going through a miscarriage. Ours lasted for 3 months and still ended with a D&C. I know no word can adequately express the pain you're feeling. A scripture that has helped bring some comfort this year has been 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: "Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles so that we may be able to comfort those experiencing any trouble with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." I hope it will bring you comfort too. Will be praying for you all.
So sorry for your loss
Thank you so much for you kind comment and the prayers. Wow, 3 months and surgery sounds like a very heavy time in your life. Thank you for sharing with us. It helps us not feel so alone in this whole thing. Wishing you the best and thanks for being here 🤍
@@Still_blessedlouise thank you 💕
@@kristenandmichael you’re definitely not alone 💕
So sorry for your loss. My understanding is that Progesterone maintains a pregnancy. Be sure that your doctor checks it on a regular basis with a future pregnancy as levels can fluctuate. Best wishes to you & your families!
Thank you🤍
My 2023 was interesting ….. I went in for scheduled open heart surgery in July and was set to be off for 3 months til late October…. In early September I had a seizure while driving. No harm no accident and I did testing and I have to take medication for a loooong period of time going forward. It could be attached to open heart surgery or a prior accident where I got hit by a car a few years ago … medication is ok but I can’t drive for another 5 months and I don’t know if I take medication for rest of life and if I get another seizure whenever again or it was one off. Not to compare it to losing a child 2x in 1 year but just a comment that things can go a little sideways for others too. Your situation is far far more tragic Wish you success in actually having a child to term😊🙏👍
Thanks
Mark Euringer
Oh wow, sounds like 2023 has put you through the wringer too. Thank you so much for sharing and thank you so much for watching
Kristen I don’t know u personally but I can say you are a beautiful person. I have a STR and it’s successful, I come to your channel because you and Michael are just so genuine. This video had me in tears, I’m so sorry that things took this turn. Hang in there, you will be parents and u will be the best parents ever because situations like this makes us stronger people. Focus on the beautiful relationship you have with each other, before you realize it, you will have your beautiful baby in your arms. Stay hopeful lady❤
I have been where you are right now, and I know the emotions, but this is your journey and I pray that you get through it with all the strength you need. I don't think you need to worry so much about what you share, this is still YOUR life and you share what you want to share. I think that may be a problem with UA-cam culture that some people may feel entitled to every aspect of your life when they are not. So please do not feel that you are letting anyone down, or that you're not sharing when you don't really have to. Keep some things private. I don't know your spiritual faith, but in the Bible, Isaiah chapter 30, verse 15 "...In quietness and confidence is your strength." Only the Lord knows of his plans for you, rest on that!
Thank you for this. You're right - that is how it feels sometimes with "YT culture," at least the feeling of it can be pressure-filled BTS. We are so grateful though for the wonderfully kind community we've created here, you included, sharing these thoughtful and reassuring words during such difficult times. Thank you for the verse, we are very spiritual and appreciate it more than you know.
Has 2023 been hard yes - my 15 year old grandson was diagnosed with used w leukemia at this time of October 2022, he is in remission but the chemo and meds continue for 2-3 more years and we pray he doesn’t get infection or that the bone marrow doesn’t start making cancerous cells again. He has Trouble eating and keeping h any weight on. We’ve lived a crazy year with emotional up’s and downs. Learned to ride the roller coaster I guess . 😊 we are thankful for every day that we get to spend with him He spent every holiday last year in the children’s hospital.
Feels like everyone we talk to has had something major happen this year. Definitely have to learn to ride the rollercoaster 🤍
❤
I know you probably don't want to hear this right now, but have your thought about adoption? We adopted when I couldn't stay pregnant. I have two wonderful sons now
Has 2023 been a rollercoaster for anyone else out there? 😞
Remember that at the end of every storm, there is a rainbow. You will come out on the other side of this and you will find yourselves in a better position. You are not alone, and we see you!

To much stress at the 1 world...
Kristen you should gain like 20 to 30 pounds your body needs extra energy i don't know if this will solve it but it wont hurt.
If you don't know if it will solve it, then please don't insert unnecessary commentary on people's weight in general. It can come off as extremely insensitive.
sorry i wasnt trying to be insensitive @@kristenandmichael
