- For Episode 30 we decided to do a check-in and talk about how we’re really doing in this season of life. With so many changes happening we think it’s so important to check in with each other to make sure we’re on the same page. Do you ever do this with your significant other? Let us know in the comments!

Love you guys!!
-Mykayla & Jonas
Oh, oh no 😢 please get counselling. Jonas the resentment you hold towards Mykayla is so palpable.
If you’re able to recognize the toxic aspects of your relationship… do the self work lol. Other than that you are not respecting each other and will drive each other crazy or into depression…
You have an office that you go to every day. You don't need one at home. Nesting helps the mom. It's really important. And, you will definitely need help. You will be exhausted. Having a spare room for a grandma or sister is really helpful. You can always turn that room into an office/podcast room after you assess things 6 months after the baby arrives. Does your church have a couples seminar? This may help in terms of communication. Once the baby gets here you will both need to be aligned, for your sake and the sake of your baby. Remember that it gets easier over time, so stay patient.
Yes, I agree. It would be a great thing for them to have some sort of counseling to get through their differences of opinion on things, especially when bringing a baby into the mix.
I say keep the bed but make the guest room into the office/studio and you can use the closet for storage or other season clothes
So many points in this podcast where my brain just says “wait….what?!”
We pray for you, getting more on one page and having less fear / worries 🙏🏽 just trust, it’s going to be greate
"That thing"? Oh my...You're not having a "thing" this is your child and believe me, all these things you feel now will change when you experience the miracle of your newborn baby. There is nothing like it in the world! Try not to worry, you will do just fine. And yep, she is gonna need her momma around when the baby comes. She will be exhausted.
I don't know...Jonas seems into himself and made it clear he wasn't ready for a child (and on this I agree). I worry that having a child will not change him. He'll expect Mykayla to do everything. I'm just glad MyKayla is close to her family and it seems like they'll be there to help her - because Jonas will be absent.
I really want Jonas to be patient and understanding with MyKayla post-partum. She will be exhausted, she won’t clean as much, she will seem like a different person. I can just picture fights about things being messy. They will be for a while, prepare mentally and get through it together. I think Jonas just pictures it easier than it really is 😅. But regardless, I think y’all will be great parents.
He is in for a rude awakening! 😂 He has no understanding of what birth does to a women's body and her hormones, much less the needs of a newborn. A guest room will be needed if they have someone to help Mykayla those first few weeks.
You're spot on. Expectations need to be out well aside. It's 1000% true rhat until the baby is actually there, parents to he really truly have NO idea how exhausting, relentless and busy one small human being is.
He seems like he might have high functioning autism. I have it myself and I have studied psychology.
Glad to hear you are feeling better!
I get wanting to keep the guest bedroom - and you will definitely want your mom there to help. At all hours!! You look amazing - love the hair! 💕💕
It is so nice to have help from Mom..So nice. I would keep the guest room.
It was awesome. Even tho the video prediction of baby was a cluster, you guys it was so fun to watch 😂😂
I have been watching you since you were a freshman in collage and i’m so happy for you! I’m also a level 8 gymnast and you are my idol! ily 😊
Is level 9 the highest or does it go above it? I can't even remember. I remember years back on some gymnastics forums, girls would mention their levels and what they were working on. Seems like this one girl who was working on giants was level 7. edit: actually seems like I remember someone who was level 12, so must go to at least 12? Unless I am misremembering.
Enjoy every minute with the little one. Alone time is great but at 56 and with a 22 year old and almost 16 year old, I would give ANYTHING to have their younger years back! Food for thought. 😊
Why? Actually curious 😊
@@marias5103 I wish I myself were living my own younger years again compared to now. lol.
The gas thing is absolutely ridiculous 😂
That was pretty funny. I think I'd want to date someone who would do that, but I'm sure when it would actually happen I'd eventually get annoyed. haha.
Oh my gosh! You guys have the same conversations like word for word that my husband and I have hahahah 😂😂😂
The weather has been wonky everywhere!
Loooooove your hair!!!
you look gorgeous Mykayla ❤❤❤
Jonas: I hope you get to talk to other new Dad's, heart to heart, to get insight into what it will be like. Myk will really need you to be there, in terms of understanding some days, when you will both be exhausted, you - the Dad - still need to step up and help her. ❤️.
Time seems to go by so slowly until around lower 20s and then it gets depressing how quickly it moves.
100% on the free time quote! I wonder how much time I used to waste pre-kids!
I had extreme morning sickness... vomiting the whole pregnancy up to onset of labour, for my 2 daughters.
I feel it is easy to have this picture perfect idea of having a baby - pregnancy and being a parent- but when the baby arrives it quickly brings you back to earth REAL QUICK!
Spend this time having a reality check, and be prepared for some ego bruising.
Jonas, be prepared to support your wife.. it may need to pull your head in a bit... think of wife and baby's needs not yourself and your wants and demands.
The first 8 weeks you guys will be forced into making new adjustments while being sleep deprived.. being pushed into a routine that suits the baby and not you.
Jonas, you are in for a big shock. Alone time? LOL. make the most of it now! lol!
Mykayla, I truly hope your husband gives YOU alone time before himself.
re: meet. I don't blame Mykayla feeling the way she did. You didn't support her.
Quite concerned..
Jonas, If what you like to do is work all day and all night when Mykayla is gone then having a baby is perfect 😂. You'll get to work all day and night for the couple years!
Sadly, he would love that, being an absent dad and make Mykayla do all the work and probably blame her when something isn't how he wants it. He didn't want a baby so this will be interesting.
@@roxiehart1 I don't think we need to be that hard on him. I'm sure he'll step up to the plate 🙂
@Rachel. it'll be a real test, he will need to adopt or be miserable.
haha
Oh Jonas you'll definitely want someone there as a backup in the 1st few weeks. You need an extra set of hands and sleep especially in the 1st few weeks.
My childbirth and recovery didn't go at all like I expected. I was in the hospital fighting to live for 2 weeks and my bf was not even close to prepared to have FT care of our newborn and me. We lived with my parents and sister. The help we anticipated being available based on their involvement with their other grandkids never materialized. So it was literally him 24/7. You'll want those extra hands.
MyKayla my morning sickness was 24/7 for the first 6 months. I got about 2 months of glorious nausea relief. By month 4 I could eat without vomiting at least.
If y'all see movies a lot regal unlimited has a $20/mo or less subscription service that will make it way more affordable.
Nobody here would know you were not in a studio if you simply took your gorgeous cutting boards down while filming. I love them but it sounds like you wish you weren’t filming in front of them. Easy fix! ❤️
Your house will be messy when baby arrives maybe have a timetable to see who cleans it up 😅 wish you both all the beat x
I love your hair blonde
Also has your couples ninja ever aired
Seems like you need a professional organizer and also lots of closet and garage organization options.
Baby steps when you're havin a baby. 😂
I may have no choice but try hello fresh or something similar soon because of some test results and the fact that I almost never cook currently...
Anyway, I need to at least cut my sugar and saturated fat down and it's depressing and I can't even think of anything to change my snacks and unhealthy meals to where I will still like the food.
You are going to need help during those first weeks/month. Having a baby is exhausting and then helping basically two humans who will need you is mentally hard. Keep the bed, (doesn't mean it will be there forever). Also, there are certain female things that happen after birth where another female just better understands, especially if they have been through it as well. Lastly, if you have sensitive ears, get noise reduction headphones/ear pods. It may feel weird, but you won't get as grumpy/frustrated, which will help the situation overall. You both will get through this. It's a season of life. :)
This is hard because you’re new.. I’m pregnant with my second and my house is a mess it’s going to be a mess. Myk you just need to focus on resting and growing your baby. Jonas you’re not realizing now because you’re used to it being you two and selfish and that’s fine but this baby will come and you are gonna lose that free time and space and it’s fine. You wanna keep that bed bud you’ll need it more than an office because you might want to sleep in it once you realize you’ll be up all night and will move to the couch on work nights.
Are you going to Simone’s destination wedding?
You’re supposed to gain weight when you’re pregnant 😬
dso cute
I had air jordans from the 90s and I guess someone must have given them away. I wish I had kept them. Sigh.
Jonas, humans NEED more than protein shakes, steak and eggs. Where are you getting your nutrients? 😬Fruit and vegetables, nuts and seeds and legumes are an important part of our diet, providing us with necessary vitamins and micro-nutrients.
I am worried because of how many years I've gone without a ton of vegetables and fruits and I need to improve my diet now, but I also hate cooking often. I am trying to sort it all but without making drastic changes all at once, which just upsets me. For now I am trying to start eating a lot less sugar and throw in more beans and hopefully go from there... The problem so far is I have not replaced the less desserts with anything so losing weight I don't want to lose...
Idk I think you should have gone to fill up the gas tank hahahah
She’s an Olympic medalist….she can fill up her own gas tank 😂
@@Chels-fz5uqShe wasn't then though and she was askin him cuz he didn't stay after her meet so she prob thought he should do that to make up for it. Lol
@@MarjorieEarlDeanshe was well on her way to be, my goodness. She’s a grown woman. Tell me you’re lazy without telling me you’re lazy.
Wait til that baby comes years fly by
Do yoga! Really just stretch so your muscles can loosen in time for birth.
Get a blow up mattress and call it a day!
Life transitions.🙌🏻😬🤢🤍🙌🏻
