[lissy0706]

hey i have never commented b4 but i have been watcing your videos ever since u first got pregnant just curious to know i have a 5 month old and cant imagine having another one so soon how come u decided to?

[comp1234w]

i love lacey shes so much like my own daughter!!!!!

is she calling simon "papa"???? im hearing alot of that from her :p

[chatabox0girl]

Hey congrats! we are both due around the same time. How exciting!! Lacy is super cute btw. :)

Its great to find another aussie mum (and mum to be) on here!

[pregnantinparadise]

Congrats on your new pregnancy! This is the first video of yours I've watched. I'll probably go back and watch the others from your first pregnancy. It really is true that you grow faster if you've already had children huh? I'm almost 13 weeks and not really showing at all, but it's my first so that's to be expected. Can't wait to have a belly though. Your little girl is so cute! Especially when you walked away to get your prenatals. Good luck with everything :)

[lilalex001234]

congratulations.

lacey gets cuter and cuter, each video! soon she'll be walking..

i reckon your next bub, will be chunkier then lacey :P

CUTE! i hope you have a boy.. so you have one of each !!!!!! :D

[lactld]

I have always heard that you show alot sooner with #2 b/c ur muscles stretch much easier. I know it was the case for me. I showed alot more very early on with baby biy #2. Congrats!

[richsarholden]

Congrats on the pregnancy...

I watched your videos all through your pregnancy with Lacey and up until now they have been great...

I'm soooo happy for you i look forward to following you through this pregnancy as well...

take care

[TheGraceDiaries]

Wow, thanks, I look forward to making the videos.

[mebirdo]

Oh, congrats Grace on this news!

I followed your Youtube vids when I was pregnant and found them really helpful, will be happy to see your progress this time too :)

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thats great, hope you like these ones too

[ginaginadr]

The urine sample is to check for infections and iron/protein counst?? I think:) They do a urine sample every month i come in.

[TheGraceDiaries]

ok, thanks

[Fiesty119]

Congratulations on your 2nd pregnancy! I started watching your vids about a year ago while I was pregnant with my second. I can definitely tell you that you do start to show a lot sooner after you have your first one. Hopefully Simon is home by now so you can start getting more rest :)

[TheGraceDiaries]

Yeh, I am so tired lately. Simon got home on Thursday avo, which is great. Thanks

[53531640]

It is hard to imagine your belly showing at all at 6 weeks, the embryo must be so small. It will be interesting to compare the sizes each month, when you were pregnant with Lacey.

[TheGraceDiaries]

Yeh I know, thats what great about having it all on video. I can compare the two.

[Crystal110987]

You say you think your belly looks big, its probably because you are a small built girl! :) I live in Michigan Usa and everytime i had a doc appointment when i was pregnant, they did a urine test, they said it was to check for traces of sugar in it for gestational diabetes and for preclamsia.

[TheGraceDiaries]

Oh ok thanks for that. Yeh I suppose I would show as soon as there is slight change coz I don't have much fat to hide under.

[cta2381]

Congratulations! I am so happy for you!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks

[feelinlucky51]

Congrats Grace! I started watching u your 1st pregnancy and really enjoy your videos. I'm pregnant myself now and am making videos as well. Because of your videos, you were the first person who initially got me looking at cloth diapers :)

[TheGraceDiaries]

WOOhoo, that makes me so happy, I am so happy that you are looking into using cloth. Congrats to you too, thank you.

[Becky062009]

Lacey looks great and so do you! You're such a natural mother and I really feel like you've blossomed since Lacey has entered the world. I can't wait to see you do this all again. It's just stunning!

I hope that Simon comes home soon! It looks like you're doing a great job though. My husband is going on a trip next month. It will be the first time me and my 3 month old are alone together for that period of time, and I'm a little nervous about my energy levels. You're doing great! Keep it up!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Oh thanks, it is harder than having him here but I think we have coped okay, its the nights that are the hardest when Simon normally helps with feeding and baths. He is coming home tomorrow and having friday and Monday off so that'll be good.

[fvnan]

Hi Grace! Can you do a video of all the cool things you've made and ideas you've put together? You're such a creative person I can see, i'm inspired!!

[TheGraceDiaries]

HHmmmm its hard to remember all the things I have made, I will try and go through all the things. Alot of them I give as gifts but I'll see what i can do. Thanks.

[gillianhatko]

I've watched all of your videos in the last two weeks and I am so excited for you. Lacey is a real cutie! My husband and I are in our first cycle TTC, so I hope to be joining you in the pregnancy journey soon. I have started to do TTC vlogs (I have one posted so far) so feel free to check it out. Congratulations!

[TheGraceDiaries]

I will, thanks. Good luck with TTC

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks

[08jaydensmommy08]

glad to hear all is well!!!! I look forward to watching all ur pregnancy videos again!! Lacey is super cute!! i think her and jayden would have a blast if they were to play together lol

[TheGraceDiaries]

I think they would too.

[dreamflight6000]

I'm so excited to watch your journey again! I loved being pregnant and look forward to it again someday! :) Henry has been sooo good lately....which gets us thinking... ;)

[TheGraceDiaries]

Ha ha! How quickly we change our minds! I was watching your house video and your hubby was like "no this is the 'spare' room, not for another baby" lol

[Keysha1010]

Ur baby is so beautiful and congrats on baby #2

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks

[lizzy32984]

I read that the milk supply will change, and I guess sometimes the taste of it changes

[TheGraceDiaries]

yeh how startange hey

[lizzy32984]

Lacey is like "where did mommy go?!" when you went away. I will let you know what the HPT reads on Thursday. If I am I will be 3 1/2 weeks pregnant. My boobs hurt and I am super tired/dizzy....so I am fairly confident I am at this point

[TheGraceDiaries]

ooooooo so so excited for you, lots of baby dust your way

[AussieMummySince07]

Where abouts in AUS do you live hun? Im in SA and i had 3scans but never had to pay for any. I have Medicare so it was all covered, ive never paid a cent, even when i had an emergency c-section at 34wks, spent 5 days in hospital, Kaiden spent 2wks in NICU and 6wks in SCBU, he is seen by MANY, MANY specialists on a regular basis to make sure he is ok, etc. Im so thankful i live here cuz i know USA is WAY different!!!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Oh Iive in QLD, I wonder why it is different here.

[AussieMummySince07]

Dunno- are you on Private Health Cover maybe? I know theres a GAP or something you usually have to pay on that...? Glad im living in Adelaide now! Even if it isnt the greatest state! LOL

[TheGraceDiaries]

No we are going through the public system just like we did with Lacey

[AussieMummySince07]

Hmmm, thats odd then... I cant understand why, if they are the standard US's, why you would have to pay? I can understand having to pay for extra US's that you request or if you go to like a 3D place, but definately not when its the same US's that every women is entitled to. Id be asking about it cuz it sounds suss to me...

[Lovesenduringpromise]

The urine sample, or at least everytime I go to the doctor for this pregnancy, is to check to see if you are spilling protein in your urine.

[TheGraceDiaries]

What happens if you are spilling protein?

[Lovesenduringpromise]

spilling protein in pregnancy is a sign of preeclampsia

[Lovesenduringpromise]

I just subscribed to you, and I already love your videos :-)Lacey is absolutely adorable!! Congrats on week 6 and this journery 2nd time around!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks for subbing, and thanks for the congrats :)

[lovecanbemagic]

shes doing so well holding herself up :) shes so sweet! i just cant imagine her screaming in the middle of the night, shes so well behaved!!

[TheGraceDiaries]

That made me laugh, yes she can scream, I may try and get it on camera for you (and her to see when she is older!) lol

[amandacoates]

Hi, Congrats on your pregnancy. How many times does Lacey wake in the night? My little girls wakes about 4/5 times. Are you still B/F in the night and if so, how many times? x

[TheGraceDiaries]

It depends, from 2-5 times, I try very hard not to BF her everytime. I usually feed her when she wakes around 11 and also when she wakes at 5:30

[sammynchloe]

Hey Grace, Just to let you know, you have to pay for your 12 week scan if your under 40... as its an optional ultrasound and you are classed as low risk, i had mine 4 weeks ago and it cost me $240!! Your 18-20 week scan is covered by medicare... Hope that helps :)

[TheGraceDiaries]

Ooohhh, thanks, I didn't know that. When I went for my blood test yesterday, they told me that I could get a bill in the mail for it, I didn't think the blood test was optional.

[leahkf1]

Congratulations again. Lacey was sooo cute waiting for you when you left the room. my little one has been doing waking and crying at night for no reason too, and it is tough. Poor little bubba, it's so hard to settle him. This morning I was making the silliest of jokes but found them hilarious. I'm sure that is sleep deprivation. But I'm not pregnant, so my sympathies to you! great video

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks, it is hard bring pregnant and sleep deprived but thats what you get for choosing to have kids close together.

[rachelswirl]

Remember that the second time around you grow quicker! Any chance of doing an interview for MBM?

[TheGraceDiaries]

Whats MBM? I'm up for anything

[TsarObezyanka]

Congrats hun. :) How exciting. Lacie is adorable as always.

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks

[rachiibuu]

When I was BF my son I used to wear an elastic around my wrist and switch between wrists at each feed to remember which side he was upto. Just thought I'd give you that tip if you're having trouble with that whole sides thing. =]

Glad to see you both well and happy!

[TheGraceDiaries]

Thanks, I used to do that when she was a NB, I may have to start it again.

[AssNutt]

what are hoping its going to be, im going to pretend im a psychic and say its a..... girl! so Lacer has a little sister to play with :D

[AssNutt]

Lacey* sorry lol

[TheGraceDiaries]

I used to say a girl but I am leaning towards boy

[orangebus333]

Congratulations Grace!! So happy for you.  How many children are you planning on having?

[TheGraceDiaries]

We want a bunch! Maybe 4 or 5
