I hate that you are still not feeling well. Are you having any food and/or smell aversions? Bella is going to love this baby. She is such a sweet dog. Your oldest son is getting so tall!!! Your daughter made some delicious looking brownies. And nothing cuter than a litttboy running around in daddy’s t-shirt. I so enjoyed every moment of this video. Have a blessed week! ( and I missed seeing your smiling face so much this weekend I started rewatching your videos from the beginning)
So much to like about this video...you, your belly, the coke, the different start to the day, your son's enormous t-shirt, the patience you show when the kids help, the teamwork between you and your husband (cooking and cleaning). I really admire your ability to remain outwardly calm.
I smiled when I saw the coke. Reminded me of the days of only coke slurpees. Even in the middle of northern Canadian winters. So definitely no judgement. Survival is what matters in pregnancy.
@@jaroffireflies They really are the best in Canada in the winter as they never melt so it is slurpee from start to finish! Do they have Kosher versions of these frozen drinks?
@@laurenhill2291 lol I never thought of then not melting lol We don’t have that issue in Texas 😂🌞 We have slurpees here, and several flavors including the coke one is kosher :)
Every Friday I feel like I am running like a chicken without a head trying to get everything and everyone ready on time for candlelight, and it’s hard! I seriously need more pre planning, and seeing how nice, calm and totally in control you look while preparing for Shabbat gives me a motivation to improve. Thanks a bunch!
I absolutely love that we get a glimpse of your family without giving to much info. To many UA-camrs share to much about their children you are a breath of fresh air. I’m loving Learning about your faith I’m a Christian and love a lot of your sabbath customs I’m thinking that I may try making my Sunday look a little like your sabbath
I laughed when you talked about why you were drinking soda! You’re pregnant, no need to explain! Follow your instincts and drink a soda if it helps to settle your stomach
You know, someone is always a critic lol Thank you for your understanding! Being sick everyday is no fun at all! Fun fact, I don't even like coke lol but it does help with the morning sickness :)
Complete love this and absolutely agree! Nows the time to listen to your body & take in what feels good. Every time I’m sick, bubbly simple cold 🥶 Coca Cola classic and dry bread/ crackers is exactly what my body craves and it settles me. Just sipping a nice cold sweet soda works magic.
I just want to say thank you for your videos. I’ve felt for awhile something was missing in my life. I grew up Lutheran but left the church over 10 years ago because it didn’t make sense to me (for much of the same reasons why you left the Catholic Church). I never even considered Judaism until your videos became recommended to me. I have been learning more and more. Thank you for educating us and letting us see your slice of the world.
Channa I pray daily for you to have a healthy pregnancy and a super healthy baby. I Love your family and I believe 1 more little one will just perfectly add to the LOVE. Praying for abundant blessings for you and your family.
I was on some very strong medication a couple of years ago that made me very nauseous. My nurse recommended that I take a couple of tablespoons of pickle juice. She said the vinegar calms the stomach acids. I just could not stand the thought of that. After 8 days of nausea, I tried it. It worked. She tried it during her pregnancy, and it worked. While not everyone would dare to try that I like to pass it on. Blessing to you and the family.
Oh Chana, pregnancy is beautiful on you 😊 just want you to know I will be living vicariously through you lol. My baby days are past me now but seeing you, even with the sickness, brings back the joys i felt. You are absolutely beautiful. 🤗
Oh my goodness, if I so much as looked at a tomato when I was pregnant...I was sick for seven months straight, then I had about a two week break, and then it started in again. My ankles swelled up like balloons, and he came a month early. Oh, I feel for you every time you tackle a day like this. I still don't know how you do it. Your kids are all such good helpers, though. :) I notice your dog even helps with the prerinse cycle, like ours do.
Chana, no judgement!! I drank ginger ale it helped a lot. I know it can’t be easy with three kiddos and having morning sickness. Glad that morning sickness doesn’t last forever. Enjoy Shabbat!
No judgement. Coca cola and Root beer were all I could drink when I was pregnant. And yes, they usually came up! Thank goodness for rehydration IVs! I hope you start to feel better soon, hun!
@@jaroffireflies You are so welcome! I still remember that something about Root Beer was settling to that constantly queasy feeling of pregnancy. Especially with my second baby... he's 20 now but I have never forgotten! :)
@@staceyjohnson2929 I bet! It’s so bubbly and that’s what I need! Sparkling water worked for a while but now that seems awful to me lol pregnancy is so weird lol
I used to leave a gingerale on my bedside table to sip first thing in the morning. For some reason I could only stomach it flat and room temp. But it really helped with my morning sickness. You look beautiful Chana and I love all your vlogs.
Haha I just noticed we have the same oven mitts. I use a hair covering called a Buff. It’s meant for outdoor sports mainly but it keeps my naturally curly hair from frizzing. I really wish I could be home and do this on Friday. I think I will honestly try to get things ready on Thursday for Shabbos. We have been very lax in in this area, but I would love to show the kids the importance for Jews, whether Reformed or Orthodox. I think the importance of Shabbos is the glue to the family.
That’s so fun! I have a friend who only wears buffs as a hair cover also :) They look really comfy :) Shabby is so important! I’m totally with you there :)
I am amazed that you can make a video in the midst of morning sickness. What I was observing was how much you got done being pregnant, not feeling so great and still preparing for Shabbat! Super Mom! It was so nice to see the boys helping set the Shabbat table, and your daughter did a great job mixing the batter! Hope you are feeling a little better! Blessings from Israel!
Chana, you are so full of joyfulness! No matter how your feeling, you radiate positivity. You are a good example for others & that dress you have on is stunning! Take care, rest when you can. 🤗
When it comes to morning sickness, I'm fairly certain that any reputable health care provider would tell you to go with what works. Your body will tell you what you need (sometimes it takes experimentation), but go with what keeps you going.
No judgement, whatever it takes to help with morning sickness. Laughed to see your youngest son in the gigantic tshirt, a style many might like but don't have the spunk to wear. So glad for day in the life episode. You get more done in one day than I can in a week. I don't have children, a husband or pregnant. My excuse, I am retired. Thank you for sharing with us on your channel.
Good morning Chana! I look for any reason to drink a coke 🙂 It’s always so sweet to see you including the kids when you are in the kitchen, or anything else. Even the dog helps with the dishes! God bless 🙏
Morning sickness is no joke. Frankly, anything that helps settle the stomach is wonderful. I do hope you will feel relief from it soon. Another wonderful video! My wish for you is continued health to you and your family 😊
its exciting knowing your gonna be adding a new little one to the Shabbat table soon and all the holidays you just recently celebrated will be different next year with your newest addition.
Hi, sweet Chana! I don't usually comment on a person's outer shell, but may I respectfully say that you look absolutely beautiful. This miracle of life is so amazing with you. Sending love and hugs. 💗🫂💗
I admire how much you do being pregnant and having little ones already! You’re such a strong and inspiring woman! You’re absolutely glowing! I also loved seeing Bella stare up at you when you were showing your soup! I hope she got to have a little taste! Your videos make my day! Much love ❤️
A nice Shabbat prep day. I like the dress you changed into. It is flattering and looks comfortable. No plastic on the table, you're brave. Hope you had a lovely time with your friends.
Hello Channah. 🙋♀️good to see you feeling well. Under the circumstances!! You look happy.. and the kids can give a helping hand. Good seeing you. Hope you had a wonderful Shabbos.🇮🇱 warm regards from ישראל
as soon as I saw the coke on your tray I thought "oooh she's still got morning sickness 🤢" Tip: try lavender and peppermint essential oil (just a drop of each) rubbed on each temple and each inner wrist.
Love starting my Mondays off with your videos! I always feel motivated and at peace after watching! My husband is Jewish and I started watching your channel a few months ago to learn more abut it. Even though he’s not Orthodox, I still learn so much from your videos and have things to talk about with his mom!
Chana, I do enjoy your Shabbat prep very much! Your kiddos are adorable, and Bella is so sweet. The chicken soup and brownies made me hungry, lol. I especially enjoy the setting of the table and the beautiful flowers. Have a wonderful week..till your next upload! 🤗 Rosemarie 💖
Hello Chana, I enjoyed this video so much but do you know what I enjoy almost as much as your actual videos? Reading the sweet comments!! One after the next and all so nice 😊 (I also drank coke when pregnant with #3 , I might add it was my MD that recommended that to me/was super sick with all 3). Hang in there!!! Here’s to a very healthy baby! ❤️
As I was watching your video while preparing dinner I dropped the whole dishwasher silverware rack and spilled the clean silverware on the floor as I am putting it back into the drawer, my floor was mostly clean and had just been swept prior to dropping the silverware, I thought to my self Chana keeps a kosher kitchen she would never put the silverware back without rewashing it. You do you, my family will never know. Have a great week!
Hope you start feeling better in the morning real soon! Your little guy in the big shirt was adorable. Love how all the kids help with the prep. Do they like to cleanup too?😁. Flowers were gorgeous.
The race to eat breakfast while pregnant is so real! I remember waiting for my toast to cook and then being like “nope, this is taking too long” and having to sprint to the bathroom! 🤢
I’ve been enjoying learning while I watched your video the past couple days. I’ve always been fascinated by different religions. I was born in Oak Park, IL which is a suburb of Chicago and while we lived there when I was young it felt like I was surrounded by so many cultures and races…..and I loved it!!! My family ended up moving one state over to Indiana when I was nine during the late 80’s and I have to tell you it felt like we had moved to a different country! Everything was so different, in not so positive ways, from what I had known living in Chicago. I was born with a disability and walked with crutches as a kid. At that time in the eighties there weren’t many kids sports or anything like that for kids with disabilities but in Chicago often times people like the instructor of my brothers Tae kwon do class were encouraged by what I could do rather than what I couldn’t do and would give me a chance to try something new. In Indiana the attitude was more like “she’s disabled and we don’t have to provide anything for her”. Little did they know how the ADA laws would change everything. Watching your channel brought me back to those first years of mine and more peaceful times. I’m here to stay!
Bless you Dear, no worries, just easy does it for you, I personally was pretty much a " friend" of the "Barrel of Fun" if you know what I mean and all I could do was soup & sandwiches and much congrats on your sponsorship!
I have no clue why they call it morning sickness, mine lasted all day & I couldn't go beyond my bed without a soda. Do whatever you need to do to get through the day. I'm happy for you guys and that little blessing to come🖤🖤
Your older son is so tall! Almost as tall as you! My grandson passed me a few years ago. His Dad's 6' 3" and his Grandpa's family are all almost 6 1/2 feet so we expected this buy my gosh everyone thinks he's 18-20 but he only just turned 14 on 9 Shevat. Your youngest is so cute in that big t-shirt 😍! And, your daughter is such a big help and will turn into a great baker just like her Mom! Are your kids learning to speak Hebrew?
Hi Chana, Congrats on the sponsorship! So happy you and your audience are being recognized as the strong, smart consumers we are. I LOVE Fetch and just used my Vitamin Shoppe gift card. Looks like you're still going a million miles an hour and I hope that means you & baby are well. Is it crazy that I can smell the kugel from here???
Coca cola was the only thing I kept down on my daughter's pregnancy first three months, I totally understand you...love your happiness and your kindness and how patient you look and have towards the children..working on my patience still...love your channel
The Shabbat flowers were especially beautiful this week! I hope your nausea goes away soon and that you can get plenty of rest. You are going to need it before your baby comes. Blessings to you and your family! ❤
Good afternoon Chana! My youngest used to run around in big T-shirt’s like your son when he was that age! It was comfy he use to say. Your kids are such big helpers. I hope your morning sickness gets better. That’s awesome you have a sponsor now. Congratulations! I love your channel and learning about your culture. Have you had to buy any maternity clothing yet?
My husband and I accidentally bought a shirt for our niece that was *way* too big. She then wandered around the house, flapping the sleeves and looking pathetic as a Victorian waif, wailing 'It's too big. Tooooooo biiiiggggg!'
My mom used to drink Cola when she was pregnant. She said that it helped her a little bit with the nausea. She said that maybe she just thought that it helped her and that maybe why she liked it. lol. I drink cola when my stomach is upset. It does help. Seeing you drink it reminded me of when my mom was pregnant with my youngest sister and asked me to bring her cola and ice.
You are absolutely glowing! You look so good. You have a ton of energy too. So happy for you and your family for your baby to come soon! What a blessing! I hope you are feeling better. My sister had morning sickness too and she said ginger ale helped a lot.
Another great Shabbat video. Love to see your wonderful helpers. Your viewers might like to know why we cover the challah can you explain why. Shabbat Shalom
Another wonderful day with you and your family! Hope the morning sickness goes away really soon. Eat and drink whatever you can keep down and makes pregnant mama happy!! My granddaughter has had morning sickness thru entire pregnancy AND just got call from my daughter that labor has started!! Gonna be a great gramma in a little bit! Excited for you and excited to have new baby in our family!
This was one of my favorite videos.....that chicken soup looks delicious...you have a sponsor(s)! you seem blissful (with or with soda)....you look lovely...looking forward to your Thursday video...
You’re kids are getting so big! No judgment here on the Coke for breakfast. When expecting you do whatever you to do to get through. I am totally wishing I was visiting your part of the country right now as I sit here watching the snow fall and pray that all my people make it home safely. And that the kids can actually go to school tomorrow. This is snow day #6 since the 18th. They’re getting a little stir crazy and really want to go back to school.
Good morning Chana! Love seeing your little baby bump and GLOW! Even if you don’t feel great you look amazing! Sending love and blessings to your growing family 💙
Drinking a soda with your breakfast made me smile. Do what works for you! I love a nice bottle of carbonated water every morning or a fruit flavoured popsicle. 😁
Hello Chana great video , hope you’re feeling much more yourself soon , loved this video thanks for sharing from your avid follower here across the big big pond in England 😊
Hi Chana, So great to see a DITL video and your “new” morning routine! I am sure all of us who’ve been pregnant have had so many different things to help with morning sickness! Absolutely no judgement here!! (For me it was dry crackers and ginger ale!🤣) It was so lovely to see Bella in today’s video 💕 Your eldest son is looking very tall.. is he almost as tall as you now? Have a great day! Lesley 😊

@@carrieann5714 awesome!
I downloaded it! Thank you and I hope your nausea subsided. 💓
So much to like about this video...you, your belly, the coke, the different start to the day, your son's enormous t-shirt, the patience you show when the kids help, the teamwork between you and your husband (cooking and cleaning). I really admire your ability to remain outwardly calm.
Thank you so much Felicia 💖💖💖
Delighted to see you have a sponsor. Good product. I love watching your baby bump grow. It's always exciting to know that a new little human is due.
Thank you so much Elizabeth!
I smiled when I saw the coke. Reminded me of the days of only coke slurpees. Even in the middle of northern Canadian winters. So definitely no judgement. Survival is what matters in pregnancy.
Oh my gosh I LOVE Coke Slurpees! I haven't had one in years!!!!
Slurpees are very good. I live in Canada as well. It about minus 43 today brrr
I got through my weight in starburst sweeties with my second, almost everything made me feel sick.
@@jaroffireflies They really are the best in Canada in the winter as they never melt so it is slurpee from start to finish! Do they have Kosher versions of these frozen drinks?
@@laurenhill2291 lol I never thought of then not melting lol We don’t have that issue in Texas 😂🌞 We have slurpees here, and several flavors including the coke one is kosher :)
Every Friday I feel like I am running like a chicken without a head trying to get everything and everyone ready on time for candlelight, and it’s hard! I seriously need more pre planning, and seeing how nice, calm and totally in control you look while preparing for Shabbat gives me a motivation to improve. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Gladys! It helps a ton that I don’t have to do so much cooking for Shabbat :) But yes, pre-planning is key!
I do not even know what Shabbat is. I do know I respect and like learning about your Jewish religion. You are a breath of fresh air!
Thank you so very much! I hope I can shed some light onto what Shabbat is through my videos :) It is our day of rest
I absolutely love that we get a glimpse of your family without giving to much info. To many UA-camrs share to much about their children you are a breath of fresh air. I’m loving
Learning about your faith I’m a Christian and love a lot of your sabbath customs I’m thinking that I may try making my Sunday look a little like your sabbath
Thank you Jennifer! I hope you’re able to get some good ideas to incorporate into your Sunday day of rest!
It brings me great joy to announce unto you the birth of my 3rd grandchild. Words escape me.
Congratulations!!!!
@@jaroffireflies 💖💖💖
I laughed when you talked about why you were drinking soda! You’re pregnant, no need to explain! Follow your instincts and drink a soda if it helps to settle your stomach
You know, someone is always a critic lol Thank you for your understanding! Being sick everyday is no fun at all! Fun fact, I don't even like coke lol but it does help with the morning sickness :)
Right? I just had my eighth baby. You’ve gotta do whatcha gotta do. Lol. Love the video.
@@ThatCrazyCatholicMom Congratulations!!! And thank you :)
Complete love this and absolutely agree! Nows the time to listen to your body & take in what feels good.
Every time I’m sick, bubbly simple cold 🥶 Coca Cola classic and dry bread/ crackers is exactly what my body craves and it settles me. Just sipping a nice cold sweet soda works magic.
@@ChoochooseU thank you 💖💖💖 I appreciate you guys so much! I was so afraid of criticism
Congratulations on getting a sponsor! I laughed when you said a quick prayer before sneaking a treat.
Thank you so much!
We always say a short blessing before we eat anything :) I am sure that is what you saw :)

Take care.
Good morning! Thank you for your kind words :) Its super helpful that my husband does most of the cooking for sure :)
Your littlest boy in that huge t shirt…. Oh my that is just the cutest thing! Adorable !!!!
Channa I pray daily for you to have a healthy pregnancy and a super healthy baby. I Love your family and I believe 1 more little one will just perfectly add to the LOVE. Praying for abundant blessings for you and your family.

Chicken soup is the best for Shabbat especially in winter...The best "Jewish" penacillin
Absolutely!
When it comes to morning sickness, I'm fairly certain that any reputable health care provider would tell you to go with what works. Your body will tell you what you need (sometimes it takes experimentation), but go with what keeps you going.
Totally agree :)
Your children are such good helpers! And Bella is such a good walker….my dog feels the need to sniff every blade of grass along the way.
Lol Bella had to do lots of training to get to this point on her leash :) She is such a smart dog!
You are amazing! Pregnant sick, and 3 children and you got so much done. With having neck surgery 8 weeks ago I don’t have that much energy.
I hope you have a full recovery quickly and with no complications!

It’s always so sweet to see you including the kids when you are in the kitchen, or anything else. Even the dog helps with the dishes! God bless 🙏
Lol glad you enjoyed :) I’m loving my kids help more and more these days!
If you put a whole onion in your chicken soup (with the paper skins on) it helps to color the broth a golden color without giving it an onion flavor.
Thanks for the tip!
Have I ever told you how much I enjoy your flower arrangements?!
Oh thank you!
Morning sickness is no joke. Frankly, anything that helps settle the stomach is wonderful. I do hope you will feel relief from it soon. Another wonderful video! My wish for you is continued health to you and your family 😊

Thanks so much! Good morning!
It's so precious to watch your little one help set the table!
I have say, the hubs did a really good job with the flowers this week. Those are especially gorgeous!
Thanks Sandra!
Chana what a delight your children must be to you and your husband 😊 very helpful to their Mom … a fortunate lovely life you have 🌺🌷🐬🦋
We adore our children! 💖😊

You forgot to do your candle trick when you did your onions! I do it all the time now!
Such power of suggestion! I could've sworn I smelled brownies baking in my closed-for-the-day kitchen 😂
It made me smile that you had a soda. Made me think about when I was pregnant many years ago. No judgment from me. Do what makes you feel better!
Thank you Kimberly!
Hope you start feeling better in the morning real soon! Your little guy in the big shirt was adorable. Love how all the kids help with the prep. Do they like to cleanup too?😁. Flowers were gorgeous.
Thank you so much Sandy! My kids love to hell with prep more, but they will help with anything :)
Your oldest is so tall. Your baby bump is so cute. Hope things are going well!
Thanks Kathy!
The race to eat breakfast while pregnant is so real! I remember waiting for my toast to cook and then being like “nope, this is taking too long” and having to sprint to the bathroom! 🤢
Right?!? The struggle is so real
I’ve been enjoying learning while I watched your video the past couple days. I’ve always been fascinated by different religions. I was born in Oak Park, IL which is a suburb of Chicago and while we lived there when I was young it felt like I was surrounded by so many cultures and races…..and I loved it!!! My family ended up moving one state over to Indiana when I was nine during the late 80’s and I have to tell you it felt like we had moved to a different country! Everything was so different, in not so positive ways, from what I had known living in Chicago. I was born with a disability and walked with crutches as a kid. At that time in the eighties there weren’t many kids sports or anything like that for kids with disabilities but in Chicago often times people like the instructor of my brothers Tae kwon do class were encouraged by what I could do rather than what I couldn’t do and would give me a chance to try something new. In Indiana the attitude was more like “she’s disabled and we don’t have to provide anything for her”. Little did they know how the ADA laws would change everything. Watching your channel brought me back to those first years of mine and more peaceful times. I’m here to stay!
Thank you for sharing Cara! And welcome! I am so happy you are here!
Bless you Dear, no worries, just easy does it for you, I personally was pretty much a " friend" of the "Barrel of Fun" if you know what I mean and all I could do was soup & sandwiches and much congrats on your sponsorship!
Thank you! 😊💜
Pringles potato chips and watered down Hawaiian Punch is what I survived on while expecting.
Oh my gosh pringles have been by my bed!
@@jaroffireflies my poor sister could only eat Suzy Q's. Yuk
I have no clue why they call it morning sickness, mine lasted all day & I couldn't go beyond my bed without a soda. Do whatever you need to do to get through the day. I'm happy for you guys and that little blessing to come🖤🖤
Right?! I get it mornings and night and a lot of the afternoon too lolol
Same lol.
Your husband always find the most beautiful flowers. Hope you’re feeling well. I love how your children are involved in preparing for Shabbat. 🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
Your older son is so tall! Almost as tall as you! My grandson passed me a few years ago. His Dad's 6' 3" and his Grandpa's family are all almost 6 1/2 feet so we expected this buy my gosh everyone thinks he's 18-20 but he only just turned 14 on 9 Shevat.
Your youngest is so cute in that big t-shirt 😍! And, your daughter is such a big help and will turn into a great baker just like her Mom!
Are your kids learning to speak Hebrew?
Thank you! Yes they are all growing so fast! My kids understand Hebrew very well :)
Hi Chana,
Congrats on the sponsorship! So happy you and your audience are being recognized as the strong, smart consumers we are. I LOVE Fetch and just used my Vitamin Shoppe gift card.
Looks like you're still going a million miles an hour and I hope that means you & baby are well.
Is it crazy that I can smell the kugel from here???
Thank you Lin! So glad you’re enjoying Fetch!
Coca cola was the only thing I kept down on my daughter's pregnancy first three months, I totally understand you...love your happiness and your kindness and how patient you look and have towards the children..working on my patience still...love your channel
Thank you so much!
Good morning! I’m going to get the rest of my dishes washed while watching your video. 💕
I love watching videos while I wash dishes lol Enjoy!
The Shabbat flowers were especially beautiful this week! I hope your nausea goes away soon and that you can get plenty of rest. You are going to need it before your baby comes. Blessings to you and your family! ❤
Thank you Karen 💖💖💖
Aww it was great too see you again ❤️ God bless ❤️ prayers ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Good afternoon Chana! My youngest used to run around in big T-shirt’s like your son when he was that age! It was comfy he use to say. Your kids are such big helpers. I hope your morning sickness gets better. That’s awesome you have a sponsor now. Congratulations! I love your channel and learning about your culture. Have you had to buy any maternity clothing yet?
Thank you so much! I did buy a few things, but I was able to borrow a lot and had a few things still from the last time I was pregnant
My husband and I accidentally bought a shirt for our niece that was *way* too big. She then wandered around the house, flapping the sleeves and looking pathetic as a Victorian waif, wailing 'It's too big. Tooooooo biiiiggggg!'
@@MsKathleenb 😂😂😂
My mom used to drink Cola when she was pregnant. She said that it helped her a little bit with the nausea. She said that maybe she just thought that it helped her and that maybe why she liked it. lol. I drink cola when my stomach is upset. It does help. Seeing you drink it reminded me of when my mom was pregnant with my youngest sister and asked me to bring her cola and ice.
You are absolutely glowing! You look so good. You have a ton of energy too. So happy for you and your family for your baby to come soon! What a blessing! I hope you are feeling better. My sister had morning sickness too and she said ginger ale helped a lot.
Thank you Daphne!
Another great Shabbat video. Love to see your wonderful helpers. Your viewers might like to know why we cover the challah can you explain why. Shabbat Shalom
Thanks Karen! 💜
Another wonderful day with you and your family! Hope the morning sickness goes away really soon. Eat and drink whatever you can keep down and makes pregnant mama happy!!

Excited for you and excited to have new baby in our family!

Thank you Victoria 💖💖💖😊😊😊
Glad to see you back for Shabbos prep. You look great.
Thank you!
Another lovely video! You’re killing it, morning sickness and all.❤️
Thank you Lisa 💜
You’re kids are getting so big! No judgment here on the Coke for breakfast. When expecting you do whatever you to do to get through. I am totally wishing I was visiting your part of the country right now as I sit here watching the snow fall and pray that all my people make it home safely. And that the kids can actually go to school tomorrow. This is snow day #6 since the 18th. They’re getting a little stir crazy and really want to go back to school.
So funny, I would love to see some snowfall right now lol Thank you for your kind words :)
Love any video you make! They are comforting to watch. Hope you feel better.
Thank you so much!
You have to do what works for you. Coke was the only thing I could keep down when I picked up a bug in Belize.
Good morning Chana! Love seeing your little baby bump and GLOW! Even if you don’t feel great you look amazing! Sending love and blessings to your growing family 💙
Thank you Heather!
Drinking a soda with your breakfast made me smile. Do what works for you! I love a nice bottle of carbonated water every morning or a fruit flavoured popsicle. 😁
Thanks 💖
Hello Chana great video , hope you’re feeling much more yourself soon , loved this video thanks for sharing from your avid follower here across the big big pond in England 😊
Thank you so ver much! Hope you are having a great day and evening!
Hi Chana,
So great to see a DITL video and your “new” morning routine!
I am sure all of us who’ve been pregnant have had so many different things to help with morning sickness! Absolutely no judgement here!! (For me it was dry crackers and ginger ale!🤣)
It was so lovely to see Bella in today’s video 💕
Your eldest son is looking very tall.. is he almost as tall as you now?
Have a great day!
Lesley 😊
Thank you so much Lesley!!! I really appreciate it! And yes, he is getting sooooo tall!!!
Thank you for sharing! Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Thanks for being here and for your kind words Joanne!
It made me smile when I saw your tummy and then the coke on your breakfast tray. Thanks for sharing have a blessed week 😊.
Thanks for watching Theresa 😊💖
Chana - I had to chuckle - you are TOTALLY giving away your age by your use of the phrase "totally stoked"......LOVE IT!
Lol I’m very open about my age :) But ya that super gives it away to those that know 😉
As always I enjoyed this video Chana! Loved seeing your family, those flowers are gorgeous and you are looking great as well. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much Amber!
