@Angelalalynn It's weird & fun to for myself how I have grown over the past 3 years....so much has changed. You think at the age of 24 one may be done maturing & know how they want to raise their children etc & for me it seems like I'm still learning more & more & more every single day! From being pregnant w/ Jacelyn planning on formula feeding w/ no attempt to even want to nurse, hospital birth, etc to where I am today w/ parenting it's crazy. I have been on both sides & tried it all it seems.
@xxxjoelpolexxx No kidding - you've gone through the whole spectrum of emotions and experiences with TTC/pregnancy/ little tots! Thanks for being so candid and open and informative! Love that the channel supports you and so excited to see where things go from here (with Jace, Kace, you, Joel, little sister on the way AND the channel! You've got SUCH a good fan base built up here - who knows what's next... (Ps. Now I'm at your starting point! 24, just got married, TTC for 6mos now - yay!)
@Angelalalynn Awww so you're at a VERY exciting time in life too! So much fun :) The TTC practice makes perfect is tons of fun haha. Good Luck & I hope you never see the 7th month of TTC :) b/c you're pregnant :)
in your previous videos, you Jeni, Candace, and Megan have visited each other. Now that you, Jeni and Megan are pregnant I was wondering if you guys would be getting together. I would love to see you all together and pregnant.
@kdpullon That does sound like fun uh? lol Unfortunately no. We don't have the luxury to be able to afford to fly, matter of fact I have never flown :( not to mention I am definitely too far into my pregnancy to even have that option now. I haven't really spoke to either one of them in quite some time. As the kids have became older I've been beyond busy w/ their hectic schedule. They are constantly wanting to go-go-go. Plus we've been saving money like crazy too!
U have said in some vids before that you will keep the baby in you and Joel's room till she is 2 and was wondering why and if you did that with jace and kaycen. My daughter will be 3 come the end of August and I have always shared a room just cause there's no more rooms in the house but also she has slept in bed with me since she was born
@mamma2grace08 We let each kid decide when they are done co-sleeping. Jacelyn stopped around 2 to 2 1/2. Kacen is still co-sleeping w/ Joel currently.
Our dr gave us a website to request a donation kit. I can't think of the site off hand but I can look for it in my babe's memory box in the morning if you are interested. My babies got a certificate thanking them for donating their cord blood, I thought it was super cool.
I had the same tightening and stuff, it begun at 28 weeks and went straight through to 40 weeks pregnant when I had my baby!!! I could have sworn he was going to be born early!!!
@aussiegrrrrrrrl Gotta love all the on/off contractions/labor. Thankfully yours didn't come till 40 weeks! With my last two being at 37 weeks naturally I am really banking that this one will as well HOWEVER I am sort secretly hoping this baby doesn't as the anticipation will be a first experience for me & I think could be very fun!
@gunesgun He's doing it all the time now & I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I think this is going to be one of the things I miss the msot about pregnancy...HOWEVER when she arrives I'll get to (hopefully) see him kiss her actually instead of my belly :)
@heymeranda I'm really particular about scents as my nose is extremely sensitive & I don't find it to be nasty at all, however I don't htink my lotion stinks & Joel does. I also don't think broccoli stinks & he does, ha. Head up to Target & just open & smell it ;) It's the California Baby’s Calendula Lotion
@xxxjoelpolexxx I didn't think broccoli stunk until my sister made a broccoli salad with washed raw broccoli. I kept the leftovers. The next day after we ate it, I opened my fridge and we were blasted by this horrible smell. My husband said it was the broccoli. Sure enough...it was. It's kind of like the nasty boiled egg smell when u open the fridge. lol. So I guess Joel maybe smelling it! lol
so ive been following your pregnancy from the beginning, a lot of the time i was pregnant myself :] my baby is a month old now, and i cant be positive, but i think she recognizes your voice or something because when i watch your videos she gets really quiet and concentrates. its really cute and just thought i'd share!
You are getting there! 33 weeks already! WOW! I never lost my plug that I know of and I never bled when I was in labor. Not that that has anything to do with anything. LOL! That bath towel warmer thing IS such a good idea! Why didn't I think of that! ;)
@dreamflight6000 I hear most don't even notice they lost theirs when they do...I guess I'm just the unlucky one who always finds it as a surprise in her panties or in this case bikini bottom ha
I don't know what a plug is? I've had 2 and pregnant with #3 I'm 25 weeks pregnant..and I don't think I've ever experienced or know what a plug is? I hate when my scale breaks..lol
@MrsQTLulu Mucus Plug. It's a plug to ur cervix to keep infection out. You can loose bits & pieces of it (most don't even notice, mine was just stuck to my bottoms) as it will replenish it's self through-out the pregnancy constantly making more. You don't loose it till your body can expel it really, meaning contractions usually accompany it in order to push it out or parts of it out. All part of ur body prepping for labor.
@08jaydensmommy08 Nope...no back up plan & it's about the stupidest thing ever to not have a real one at least :( I was just talking about this w/ my birth photographer the other day. I almsot feel like if really map out a plan b then I'm setting my self up for "failure" or what I was see it as in my eyes, as I would be paving a path I didn't want leading myself straight there in a sense. However we have like 5 hospitals w/ in a 10-15 minute drive so that's not an issue, it's jsut which one?!
@08jaydensmommy08 Part 2: I assume though one of the 5 are a better option of the others just I don't know which one b/c I haven't really done the research & I'm new to this area & haven't really been to any of them. I did check out two l&d's recently & both as for looks jsut don't compare to Jacelyn's hospitals which was like freaking luxury! However it's the nurses that really make/break a hospital experience in my opinion & u can guarantee who will be there anyways. I dunno. I have mixed emo.
@xxxjoelpolexxx Are u able to deliver in a birthing center or anything like that? Or in the state of Texas do they have a 36 week mark as well?? I am sure you will make it until then and have your home birth as planned. I was just curious : )
@08jaydensmommy08 I imagine the birth center would be no different than home (for the 36 week mark), and in my situation even worse than home as their birth center is an hour away in the middle of freaking no where...seriously, lol, where as I'm right by the top notch hospitals as for nicu's. Newho in my circumstances I'd rather go to a hospital than their birth center due to location/safety. I'm sure they have a hospital near by their birth center but I doubt it's a fabulous one for nicus.
@lmg318 Umm yah I got it like 11 years ago...not the best judgment call of mine. lol However I do like tattoo's (when done properly they can be very cute and/or even sexy IMO) just not a big fan of mine ha
I just realized that on your November TTC when you announced youre pregnant you showed jenni's gift (the layette set) it says little sister and youre having a girl!! But you didnt know at that point. thats too cute! :) lol figured i would point that out <3
lol @ 3 day pudding. I'm kinda tempted to buy some just to try it out also. I'm sure you'll definitely hold out for 3 more weeks. Kacen is so cute! I actually think your belly looks lower.
@DevonJaii If we did it would be 3-4 yrs before, that much I do know. lol Having 3, 3 & under I'm sure will be the hardest challenge yet for me, especially since one of my toddlers is still very dependent on me. No way would I want to do that w/ 4.
@xxxjoelpolexxx Haha yes very understandable it would be difficult, i would imagine anyway, Good Luck with everything i wish your family the very best :D
I am going in tom night for my induction at 39 1/2 weeks! SO EXCITED! I tend to have a bit bigger babies, so I am getting induced so she doesn't get huge! My son was 8.11 two weeks early! I hope you get to at least 38 weeks! :)
Oh dear. I am also hoping for a 37 week appearance. I can't have my home birth till I'm 37 weeks. If earlier I'll ahve to go in :(
I am thinking that I may end up getting crampy etc at Alices birthday party. Though I'd be 36 weeks pregnant so not the end of the world but I am NOT missing her birthday! I will give birth at the party if I have too hahahahaha
@xxxjoelpolexxx Somehow I don't think she'd be best pleased in years to come! I'm hoping for 21st of June for a fair few reasons. Also 10 days appart we could do joint parties if they wanted but also their birthdays would definatly be seperate.
We use California Baby also and LOVE it! The Calendula Lotion is THE BEST!! <3 Yes, 7th Generation does make newborn diapers, but (as I commented before) we used them until her meconium stopped and HATED the way they fit her (she was 6 lbs 11.9 oz and 20 inches long). We only had to use them for like 2 days, so it isn't that bad but for the future, we would chose Earth's Best! :)
Hey Lucy, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I will just so that you know: If I were you I wouldn't wear your rings anymore. I had problems with swelling in my pregnancy and just a warning: it can happen FAST! And it may get to the point where the fire department will have to cut them off, mine almost did, and it happened so quickly in the middle of the night. My fingers were swollen and purple for days because of how hard I had to pull to get them off!
@TheLinkeFamily Oh it did happen fast! It did that w/ my daughter when I was in labor w/ her but only b/c I was in labor w/ her 24 hours & was constantly receiving fluids, even postpartum b/c of some issues I had & no one prewarned me then I would get swollen from all the fluids & almost didn't get mine off! I don't wear them at home ever, and I haven't been wearing them out of the house half the time either b/c of that. I hate it though...especially when I'm alone. 2 kids/belly no rings........
@xxxjoelpolexxx lol I had the same problem, especially considering I look younger than I am, like you. People thought I was an unwed teen mother, not that there's anything wrong with that, but they tend to judge you for it lol.
Do they actually know what three day old pudding feels like? Do they teach that at midwifery school? lol! I have an image in my head of different ages of pudding left out lined up on a counter and trainee midwives wearing blindfolds. I have a very active imagination, lol!
I can relate to you guys with the exeama (spelling) problem! I get it in the winter a lot because its so dry up here! Anyways where can you get that lotion for sensitive skin you talked about?
I can relate to you guys with the exeama (spelling) problem! I get it in the winter a lot because its so dry up here! Anyways where can you get that lotion for sensitive skin you talked about?
haha your midwives sound hilarious! its awesome though that they can be open as well as yourself.. I agree though.. I would have just BUSTED out laughing like crazy!!
@xolyssa09xo Lol Oh yah they are a trip & I think that is why I like them so much b/c it's a great personality fit. I just hope they keep it up during labor so I can keep laughing ha
it could be my comp or the lighting but is ur belly kind of lop-sided? it could be the way shes laying inside idk, just thought i'd ask lol cuz ive noticed it in a couple videos
3-day old pudding is sort of like Jello...It's still soft like pudding, just a little more congealed [like, if you were to put it in a mold, and then took it out, it would hold the shape of the mold]...Sort of similar to Flan, if you've had that.
you did one vlog where you had a list of baby items that cause cancer...i might be wrong sorry but didnt you say johnson and johnson products do...if so do you know if they still do?? and could you tell me the name of that vlog please
@mhssaxaphone010 It was something that aired on the news or an article in general that we all had spoke about, aside from that I don't really remember much about it. Have u tried doing a google search?
Oh I hope u have more ur such a wonderful family. I want more so my daughter wont be a only child she had a baby sister but sadly passed away at 12 weeks old from sids. I want at least 3 more
The Seventh Generation diapers do tend to run a tad bit small with their sizing. But both of my kids were super chunky, so that could have contributed to it. They're a great disposable diaper, though.
You are so tiny with such a big baby bump:) You have grown! I can see the swelling in your face. I can't remember if you said...is your BP good? I always swelled really bad at the point where you are now. Getting so close;) Hoping you make it a few more weeks to get your home birth! :) Oh, will your midwives still deliver you if you have to deliver at the hospital?
@mrsmommy81 I've noticed my face ballooning up big time here recently but I don't think that is swelling like water retention or anything I think it's just hte sudden weight gain. I THINK w/ out looking back I'm around 20-25 lb weight gain but it was SOOOO sudden since I didn't start gaining till 20+ weeks it makes a huge/quick difference. As for my blood pressure it's great! Usually 100-110/60-70
it seems like your "were pregnant!!" video came out last month. is this pregnancy doing as fast for you as it seems to be for me? i'm praying baby will stay in there 3 more weeks for you!! :)
exciting! our bellies pretty much look the same, and i'm having a girl too! will be 34 weeks tomorrow! gosh these last few weeks better fly by haha although i have to say being pregnant is the coolest thing i've been able to experience.
i love the dress! i know it was a gift, but do you know where it is from? also, where is your username from? i get the Joel part, but not the pole... sorry if you have already covered that before! your bump is so neat - i have bump envy!
Seventh generation does have a newborn size. Not much change in growth at all this week. Not much longer until we get to see her.
Question though. Is Kacen potty training or showing any signs of potty training? It's just a curiosity thing. And when did Jacelyn start potty training?
@amclaudet All I know is I'm getting boobie & vajayjay kicked at the same time so high/low I'm nto sure but I know she's taking up every bit of space!
You look fantastic Lucy! I love your video's and I get so excited when I see that you have uploaded a new one, makes my day! You have a beautiful family and I can't wait to see the new baby. Best of luck to you in the upcoming weeks!! :-)
It have been long time now update
hope u r doing well with ur babies and pregnancy

We use California Baby also and LOVE it! The Calendula Lotion is THE BEST!! <3 Yes, 7th Generation does make newborn diapers, but (as I commented before) we used them until her meconium stopped and HATED the way they fit her (she was 6 lbs 11.9 oz and 20 inches long). We only had to use them for like 2 days, so it isn't that bad but for the future, we would chose Earth's Best! :)

Hey Lucy, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but I will just so that you know: If I were you I wouldn't wear your rings anymore. I had problems with swelling in my pregnancy and just a warning: it can happen FAST! And it may get to the point where the fire department will have to cut them off, mine almost did, and it happened so quickly in the middle of the night. My fingers were swollen and purple for days because of how hard I had to pull to get them off!
TheLinkeFamily 9 months ago
@TheLinkeFamily Oh it did happen fast! It did that w/ my daughter when I was in labor w/ her but only b/c I was in labor w/ her 24 hours & was constantly receiving fluids, even postpartum b/c of some issues I had & no one prewarned me then I would get swollen from all the fluids & almost didn't get mine off! I don't wear them at home ever, and I haven't been wearing them out of the house half the time either b/c of that. I hate it though...especially when I'm alone. 2 kids/belly no rings........
xxxjoelpolexxx 9 months ago
@xxxjoelpolexxx lol I had the same problem, especially considering I look younger than I am, like you. People thought I was an unwed teen mother, not that there's anything wrong with that, but they tend to judge you for it lol.

Do they actually know what three day old pudding feels like? Do they teach that at midwifery school? lol! I have an image in my head of different ages of pudding left out lined up on a counter and trainee midwives wearing blindfolds. I have a very active imagination, lol!

3-day old pudding is sort of like Jello...It's still soft like pudding, just a little more congealed [like, if you were to put it in a mold, and then took it out, it would hold the shape of the mold]...Sort of similar to Flan, if you've had that.
StoliDassah 9 months ago
@StoliDassah Never had Flan, Not a jello fan either but I think I get the idea!

The Seventh Generation diapers do tend to run a tad bit small with their sizing. But both of my kids were super chunky, so that could have contributed to it. They're a great disposable diaper, though.

@bellyxbooger Thanks for the heads up!
xxxjoelpolexxx 9 months ago
You are so tiny with such a big baby bump:) You have grown! I can see the swelling in your face. I can't remember if you said...is your BP good? I always swelled really bad at the point where you are now. Getting so close;) Hoping you make it a few more weeks to get your home birth! :) Oh, will your midwives still deliver you if you have to deliver at the hospital?
mrsmommy81 9 months ago
@mrsmommy81 I've noticed my face ballooning up big time here recently but I don't think that is swelling like water retention or anything I think it's just hte sudden weight gain. I THINK w/ out looking back I'm around 20-25 lb weight gain but it was SOOOO sudden since I didn't start gaining till 20+ weeks it makes a huge/quick difference. As for my blood pressure it's great! Usually 100-110/60-70

Seventh generation does have a newborn size. Not much change in growth at all this week. Not much longer until we get to see her.
Question though. Is Kacen potty training or showing any signs of potty training? It's just a curiosity thing. And when did Jacelyn start potty training?
mattiehatter106 9 months ago
@mattiehatter106 He is & at his own pace. We did the same thing w/ her, at her time, on her pace which for her was 15 months. He's 24 months.

nickiweb21 9 months ago
@nickiweb21 I had a feeling it was just peeking in size a few weeks ago & would level out. I'm still guessing a 7-8 lb baby at 37 weeks.
