I think we would all love for you to take a very well deserved maternity leave and not worry about us, we’ll all be here waiting for you but I’d encourage a good few months away so you can enjoy that newborn time ❤
it's just that the youtube algorithm can be so cruel to creators who take breaks - even short ones :( I think really easy breezy vlogs is her best bet so she doesnt lapse on her upload consistency and get punished by the algorithm, but doesnt put pressure on her to make such interesting and themed content
Share as much as you feel comfortable sharing about your pregnancy. I for one would love to hear anything you're happy sharing. It's exciting from someone who's watched your content for years. So happy for you! All the best 💜
You know what we all adore about you Grace, is that you’ve always been completely yourself and never attempted to be like anyone else. You’re literally a box filled with gems 💎 and then some. Listen to your body, heart, and mind. If you aren’t up for vlogging don’t. Rest is important. We will all be here for you. 💖🌷
Hey Grace! This vlog was soooo lovely ! Don’t put pressure on yourself to work/ not work share pregnancy stuff and baby stuff or not… JUST BE YOU as always and if you is pregnancy, baby, mum stuff or if you is the same old grack, we will love you. ♥️♥️
When I was pregnant there wasn't many pregnancy pillows out there and I bought Cushtie pillows. They have microbeads in them that mould to your body shape. The fabric is also stretchy so adjust to the weight placed on them. I had three of them, one on each side of me to place under my belly and one to put in-between my legs when sleeping to take the pressure off my hips. The are not that expensive and there are even cheaper knock off versions of them. They are also small so don't take up much room in the bed. After my pregnancy I liked them so much I bought new ones to place behind me on the sofa to support my back after labour. Other than that I tryed to reduce fluids one hour before bed xxx
The pregnancy pillow helps more and more throughout the pregnancy. Mine was similar to yours but only had a long bit on one side. It was so supportive for my back and stopped me rolling when I was closer to the end. I'm happy to hear all things baby :)
Talk about your pregnancy Grackle! I’m 58 and mum to A 25 yr old and a 21 yr old but love to hear about your pregnancy.! It’s an important phase in your life! Don’t miss it!
You should chat with Hannah Witton about what you’ll do with maternity leave on CZcams! She did it recently and also has a business helping social media people organize they’re content
Great suggestion! I think she also made a few videos about what she was planning to do, what she actually did and her thoughts on how she thought that went.
Thinking about something constantly is a pregnancy craving - Mine were Ham & Jam sandwiches, yes together! And my second pregnancy was really tart cooking apples! We had a 24-hour store across the road from where we lived and I used to get my husband to get one for me at 11pm as once I wanted one I couldn't sleep.
I would love to hear as much pregnancy info as you care to share. You could talk, show and share anything and I would watch, and enjoy! So happy for you and Mr. Grack!
I was working outside the house during my pregnancy and could fall asleep anywhere but I did have post-pregnancy insomnia, it was awful so you have my pity. I don't think there's much to be done about it. I think it's the perfect storm of hormones, night-time bathroom visits and excitement/anxiety of being a first time parent. With my second I did not have it so perhaps that's something to look forward too? Either way, your body will force to sleep eventually, just be gentle with yourself and if you feel sleepy go to bed/nap no matter the time- you need to grab the opportunity when it presents itself!
For pregnancy insomnia, keep a small snack next to your bed, water, don’t look at your phone. Only get out of bed if you need to pee or stretch. Try not to turn the light on. It’s hard though, you’re doing great! Take naps during the day if you can!
Half ish cup water , one full cup milk , 1 teabag , some fennel seeds , around 3 cardamoms , small piece of cinnamon, half a star anise , add everything to a pan boil and simmer for 5 minutes , add sugar and enjoy your chai - you also add a few cloves but I think you shouldn’t have then if you’re pregnant
I’m 40 weeks pregnant today and gave my pregnancy pillow to a non pregnant friend 2 weeks ago because she liked it more than me😂 I couldn’t stand how large it was and ended up just hugging a large bed pillow instead
Ahhh I want all pregnancy content🥳 It’s currently the morning of my c section, this has definitely distracted and calmed my nerves a little before having my little boy. Keep up the great content ❤️ can’t wait to know the gender!
We got a Wickes kitchen and, honestly, we love it! Magnet was just extortionate for what it was. I think our entire kitchen, which is huge, cost about £2500 from Wickes and then we got our own fitter. Magnet wanted £16,700 and there was a 7 month wait 😅
Hey Grace, thank you for your nice video, I watch all of them ❤ I struggle sometimes aswell with waking up in the night and not beeing able to fall asleep again. What realy helps me then is listening to an audiobook or a podcast. I distracts my thoughts and I normaly can sleep again until the morning :)
I love love love how you always keep it so real, makes me feel seen! It’s so hard doing things you aren’t comfy with but I love seeing you on this journey
Do they have blackout curtains in the UK? My daughter used to do shift work and she would use the blackout curtains and not a peep of light would get through.
@@hannahk1306 do it. You won't regret it. The one I have is great for saving money on heating bills too. I squidge it up against my body underneath the covers and it keeps me really warm. I have saved serious £ too. Xx
So excited that you are starting to share an insight into your pregnancy, and really hope you continue to talk about it. I would say, from a stress/mental health perspective, just don’t put yourself under this pressure to be a perfect example, the best thing you can teach your child is to be ‘human’ - we don’t have to be high performing beings constantly, we have good days and bad days and that is just called being a normal human being. You are going to be such a lovely mum 🤩
I got bad pregnancy insomnia I used to put on rain videos or videos I knew well so wouldn't properly listen to and found that helped me to go back to sleep. Hope you find something that helps
I’m probably going to be living vicariously through you for this journey. I’m mega broody but my husband wants to wait until he’s finished his studies (can’t blame him) until we have another baby. So excited to see you go through the wonderful journey of motherhood. Once you have that baby in your arms you will think you are the coolest person ever (which you are) and never get over yourself 😂 such an amazing experience ❤
Congrats to you both. Not surprised but will be an adjustment to us all to see you as a mummy. Pregnancy brain is def a thing😂😂You are doing your part for Cheeky Nibble by promoting her. Those Dragons will regret not helping her.Love that green dress. Hope you knock down a wall,I can’t get used to you in a small kitchen 🤪
Give us all the baby vlogs Grace, how far along are you? Can't wait for the gender reveal, also are you doing a nursery? So excited for future vlogs. Lovely to see you and Honor having a girly evening out, enjoy them while you can! 😃
My only pregnancy craving was roast chicken... and I'm vegetarian lol It lasted about 3 months for 1st pregnancy and just a month for the second one. It was very weird.
As someone who is also pregnant with my first, I am really enjoying the pregnancy content. Just share what you are comfortable with. Also well done you for doing more things outside of your comfort zone 👏🏼 you’re gonna be a great mama 🥰
You are looking amazing. Pregnancy suits you. Havent seen anything about the disney film. But from what you say it reminds me of the film NYAD. I thought that film was so inspirational. (Is also about not giving up and trying to achieve an impossible swim) Xx
Hopefully you take some time off for yourself and your fam when you feel like you need it. Your body will be working so had for the next few months, and I hope it all goes well. I have the same pregnancy pillow. As a mom currently going through her second pregnancy, that pillow was phenomenal for my back. As for insomnia, I am still struggling with that. If I get a really hard work out the day of, I tend to sleep through the night. I still have nights where I awake up and I'm incredibly frustrated, especially with not being able to sleep anytime I want (since I have my little one). I recommend to just sleep whenever you can, even if it means dealing with insomnia at night. Once your little one is here, you won't sleep as much as you'd like, so it's definitely good for you and your baby to get as much of it as you can now. Share as much as you feel comfortable, I think for the most part everyone just want to see you being you. I personally just love your vibrancy and will watch anything you put out even if I'm not interested in it - I make myself interested with all your energy, haha!
Oh Grace, please eventually get the wall knocked down. I think you’ll be so much happier with a big kitchen, especially with needing to keep an eye on a child. 😘 xx
I would love to hear anything you’re comfortable with sharing 🫶🏻 Even as someone who doesn’t want kids for a few years yet, I love knowing we are on this journey with you as we have been for years! Wishing you all the love 🩷
I swear your life escalated so quickly, I watched your vlogs all the time like last year and you were single at home & now you’re married pregnant and have your own home, what happened?! 🤣 congrats though girl ❤️
I started watching you maybe around 7 or 8 years back and I still do. In those years i got married and had a son and now he is 4. You got married and now am pregnant. Yet it feels all the same. Feels still warm and fuzzy and comforting. And every time you post its like a video call from the bestie and us catching up on the previous week
When I was pregnant with my daughter I had terrible sleep issues waking up in the early hours and struggling to go back to sleep. I would just give up trying to sleep and go and watch the repeats of the snooker tournament on the TV down stairs. I have no idea why I was so into the snooker while I was pregnant but I was. Didn't get a proper pregnancy craving until I was about 7 months, then I just couldn't get enough of ice cold milk. I seriously went through 3 of the 6 litre's of milk a week and drank it in pints.
My Pregnancy Craving (32 yrs ago): Taco Bell taco salad .... EVERY day for a couple of weeks. With a Diet Pepsi. I do like chai, but I'm with you ... matcha is vile ... tastes fishy to me.
With both of my sons I craved Mexican food and chocolate. While I love Mexican food - I've never really cared for chocolate! I'm 70 now and still don't care for it. With my daughter I craved liver smothered with onions and gravy, rice, and speckled butter beans (I'm in Texas, BTW). I love fried chicken livers, but can't abide cow or pork liver. At all. All I wanted was fried cow liver, caramelized onions, and gravy made from the liver drippings. Sooooo yucky! Even the smell of that makes me sick before and after my pregnancy. Funny thing - I must have eaten 500 lbs of rice during my pregnancy with my daughter. She LOVES rice. And when she was pregnant with her daughter she craved fried rice and plain white rice. Her daughter LOVES both fried rice and plain white rice. Many days she'll only eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and supper!
Share your heart... you'll know what to say.. congratulations... I got tears in my eyes because I've watched you for years and it's wonderful to see your life take shape ❤️
I love the random S Club 7 references you make. Sometimes I think I hallucinated them, but then you quote a song and I realize other people heard their music too 😹
Being a subscriber for years now, I still can’t believe that you’re pregnant! I still see you sometimes as someone who was scared to be away from home overnight. So innocent and pure. Just love to see how far you’ve come!
A couple of things that can be helpful when you want to talk yourself out of doing something- Give yourself an out. If you say, I can leave at…?(set a time that you can leave), more often than not you’ll stay the entire time, but it helps with the initial nerves to feel that you have an out. Also, remember that it’s easy to confuse excitement with being nervous. And sure, sometimes you’re just nervous, but it can be excitement and your brain/body is confusing the two. Unsolicited, but hope it helps a little 😊
You might try eating a healthy fat before bed like avocado etc. That generally helps with my middle of the night wake up after eating it consistently for a few days❤ absolutely love you and your vlogs. They make me feel so at home💕
Honor is the only person I have ever heard say that Tony’s upsets their stomach but it upsets mine too, and no one ever believes me! It gives me insane bloating and nausea! Especially the salted almond and salted caramel flavours, I can eat the dark chocolate brownie one but only on a full stomach. I actually feel so validated that it isn’t just me 😂
OMG! im 15 weeks and me too with the insomnia! and then headaches...its all part of the journey excited for you! when are you due?! we are having our miracle rainbow baby and are so happy to be able to do this with you!
I had been craving a dirty chai from Starbucks, i had to do one shot of espresso though and not 2 but when i worked there i made up a drink its an iced dirty chai with honey blend and oat milk and then vanilla sweet cream cold foam with cinnamon powder in it… its so addicting especially during pregnancy!!!
I could not stay awake when I was pregnant. It was crazy. I couldn't drive because I couldn't stay awake. So strange. After giving birth, I became an insomniac, though that was very helpful instead of having to wake up constantly. I didn't actually need a lot of sleep for several years. Unexpected blessings there. Im so excited for you. You are going to be a brilliant mum. Your baby bump is adorable. Stretchy clothes and hubby's shirts are excellent for pregnancy. My pregnancy craving the first pregnancy was baked potatoes with butter, creamy mushroom soup instead of gravy, and mild cheddar cheese on it. Could not get enough of it. Could not be in the same room with chovolate, nevermind eating it. Even the smell of it was enough to trigger severe gagging. I am and always have been a chocoholic. Except that first pregnancy. That baby was a girl. Second pregnancy (a boy, amazing how different it was!) it was bananas foster on vanilla ice cream that I couldn't get enough of. I only had a very small one every day, but just had to have it. Rum flavoring in it, not actual rum, of course! The revulsion food in second pregnancy was anything with vinegar in it. I could tell 2 rooms away, with the doors closed, the moment my husband opened the ketchup or mustard. It had to be banished till delivery. Lol. It is amazing how early they can find out the gender these days. Like at 10 weeks via blood test. Makes me feel old. In my day, people had to wait till an ultrasound at 20 weeks and hope the baby cooperated. We didn't want to find out, waited for the birth. Really fun to hear my dr announce which it was. Of course I didn't have to do a bunch of prep. I had lots of sisters and friends and could get boy stuff or girl stuff any time I needed it so it didn't matter not finding out in advance. Some baby clothes in my family are now being passed around and being worn by a 3rd generation! My mother made them, so definitely not something we would just get rid of. But babies grow so fast that they didnt get a lot of wear before they were outgrown. So we have pictures of my moms babies, her babies babies, and her babies babies babies in them. It's really quite fun. Enjoy every moment of pregnancy and babies and toddlers and children and teens and beyond. It is all wonderful in different ways. I hear so many people complain about it these days, but I loved it and I miss it. Well, Im in the beyond stage now. Lol. Still wonderful. Love your videos! So excited for you.
Honestly hearing about yours makes me feel better in mine , my pregnancy pillow has been my bestfriend I have insomnia ( 3rd baby) and it started a few weeks ago I’m now 35 weeks got told it’ll stay around till the end never had it with my others 😭, put sickness and gestational diabetes on top makes for a fun time I’ve Hurd peppermint tea is mean to be good and my midwife told me to take magnesium before bed !
if you enjoyed that..there's a movie (a couple of years old) called Unstoppable WITH Bethany Hamilton and also Soul Surfer ABOUT her... both are so inspirational!
Maybe Papa Booth and Banksy could do a channel take over during maternity leave? Or you could let others who might want to take time on the channel like Jesse or Honor? Kind of like guest hosts.
Some valuable life advice to you Grace is that life will always test you and take you into unexpected situations in which you never saw coming your way. Nothing and no one can fix your issues but yourself that is arising. Be courageous in the face of adversity. Much love
Grace, save the portion of this video where you talk about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone for the sake of your child. I say that because they will 100% say, "that's fine for you Mum, but you don't understand how nervous this makes me." This is your receipt, as they say.
Chai is tea. Black tea with a variety of spices. Basically when some white guy stole tea seedlings from China and planted them in India, the locals liked the taste of tea, but improved it by adding their own spices. Google how to make a proper chai tea. Pretty sure you will love it. Super great for your body, too.
I think we would all love for you to take a very well deserved maternity leave and not worry about us, we’ll all be here waiting for you but I’d encourage a good few months away so you can enjoy that newborn time ❤
Great point ❤
Facts ❤
it's just that the youtube algorithm can be so cruel to creators who take breaks - even short ones :(
I think really easy breezy vlogs is her best bet so she doesnt lapse on her upload consistency and get punished by the algorithm, but doesnt put pressure on her to make such interesting and themed content
Perhaps it's her only income.
Share as much as you feel comfortable sharing about your pregnancy. I for one would love to hear anything you're happy sharing. It's exciting from someone who's watched your content for years. So happy for you! All the best 💜
Hearing Mr Grack give Grace so many compliments while she was getting ready wamred my heart 😍 exactly what she deserves (and what we all deserve!)
You know what we all adore about you Grace, is that you’ve always been completely yourself and never attempted to be like anyone else.
You’re literally a box filled with gems 💎 and then some.
Listen to your body, heart, and mind. If you aren’t up for vlogging don’t. Rest is important.
We will all be here for you.
💖🌷
i have no plan of having children but i love hearing about your pregnancy! 😊 happy for you grace! 🎉
Same!
Hey Grace! This vlog was soooo lovely ! Don’t put pressure on yourself to work/ not work share pregnancy stuff and baby stuff or not… JUST BE YOU as always and if you is pregnancy, baby, mum stuff or if you is the same old grack, we will love you. ♥️♥️
When I was pregnant there wasn't many pregnancy pillows out there and I bought Cushtie pillows. They have microbeads in them that mould to your body shape. The fabric is also stretchy so adjust to the weight placed on them. I had three of them, one on each side of me to place under my belly and one to put in-between my legs when sleeping to take the pressure off my hips. The are not that expensive and there are even cheaper knock off versions of them. They are also small so don't take up much room in the bed. After my pregnancy I liked them so much I bought new ones to place behind me on the sofa to support my back after labour. Other than that I tryed to reduce fluids one hour before bed xxx
Grace you pushing yourself out of your comfort zone for your baby brought me to tears ❤️ you are already such a lovely mother xo

Hope your kitchen gets sorted in good time. 👍
Being coeliac I have just ordered cheeky granola…thank you for sharing xxxxx❤
Noticed breaded olives in M&S today & thought yip so Grace❤
We all need a little Grace for sure! Thankful for you sweet lady.💕

I use a pregnancy pillow. I am not pregnant and never have been. 😂 They are so comfy ans it feels like someone is giving you a big hug. ❤
I've been considering getting one for non-pregnancy related reasons too 😆
@@hannahk1306 do it. You won't regret it. The one I have is great for saving money on heating bills too. I squidge it up against my body underneath the covers and it keeps me really warm. I have saved serious £ too. Xx

Side note pregnancy pillow really helps postpartum too as like a back support
i still can't believe how dramatically your life has changed since i first started watching your vids ... congratulations!
your happiness is so contagious
I had the exact same pregnancy pillow in South Africa. 😊I was also obsessed with green when I was pregnant 😅
Iced chai is the BEST omg
Never been pregnant and never intend to be, but can confirm that I love my pregnancy pillow
Ditto! 🙌
I feel like you’re prepping us all for motherhood so would LOVE to hear EVERYTHING! (As much as you want to share!) sending love 💗💗💗
not every woman wants to have kids, im 35 and i cant think of anything worse
I’m probably going to be living vicariously through you for this journey. I’m mega broody but my husband wants to wait until he’s finished his studies (can’t blame him) until we have another baby.

I am truly so happy for you and your husband on your baby news. It is so exciting and beautiful.
Congrats to you both. Not surprised but will be an adjustment to us all to see you as a mummy. Pregnancy brain is def a thing😂😂You are doing your part for Cheeky Nibble by promoting her. Those Dragons will regret not helping her.Love that green dress. Hope you knock down a wall,I can’t get used to you in a small kitchen 🤪
Matcha is full of L-theanine which is a powerful anti-anxiety nutrient- I take it as a supplement.
Gasped seeing where that boiler is 🤣 who thought that was a good idea!
The film looks really good! I hope it makes it over to France soon!
Give us all the baby vlogs Grace, how far along are you? Can't wait for the gender reveal, also are you doing a nursery? So excited for future vlogs. Lovely to see you and Honor having a girly evening out, enjoy them while you can! 😃
My only pregnancy craving was roast chicken... and I'm vegetarian lol It lasted about 3 months for 1st pregnancy and just a month for the second one. It was very weird.
I’m an omnivore but my daughter (2nd pregnancy) turned me into a vegetarian for most of the pregnancy 😅
As someone who is also pregnant with my first, I am really enjoying the pregnancy content. Just share what you are comfortable with. Also well done you for doing more things outside of your comfort zone 👏🏼 you’re gonna be a great mama 🥰
Your channel is about lovely chat ..so if you talk about pregnancy that’s great and if you don’t that’s great ..just do what you feel you want xx
You are looking amazing. Pregnancy suits you.
Havent seen anything about the disney film. But from what you say it reminds me of the film NYAD. I thought that film was so inspirational. (Is also about not giving up and trying to achieve an impossible swim) Xx
Hopefully you take some time off for yourself and your fam when you feel like you need it. Your body will be working so had for the next few months, and I hope it all goes well.
I have the same pregnancy pillow. As a mom currently going through her second pregnancy, that pillow was phenomenal for my back.
As for insomnia, I am still struggling with that. If I get a really hard work out the day of, I tend to sleep through the night. I still have nights where I awake up and I'm incredibly frustrated, especially with not being able to sleep anytime I want (since I have my little one). I recommend to just sleep whenever you can, even if it means dealing with insomnia at night. Once your little one is here, you won't sleep as much as you'd like, so it's definitely good for you and your baby to get as much of it as you can now.
Share as much as you feel comfortable, I think for the most part everyone just want to see you being you. I personally just love your vibrancy and will watch anything you put out even if I'm not interested in it - I make myself interested with all your energy, haha!
Oh Grace, please eventually get the wall knocked down. I think you’ll be so much happier with a big kitchen, especially with needing to keep an eye on a child. 😘 xx
I would love to hear anything you’re comfortable with sharing 🫶🏻 Even as someone who doesn’t want kids for a few years yet, I love knowing we are on this journey with you as we have been for years! Wishing you all the love 🩷
Grace talk about your pregnancy as much as you like it’s up to you, I’ve got three kids, looking forward to your pregnancy updates xxxx
Would love to see a ‘trying pregnancy cravings’ video!!
I swear your life escalated so quickly, I watched your vlogs all the time like last year and you were single at home & now you’re married pregnant and have your own home, what happened?! 🤣 congrats though girl ❤️
I was just thinking the same. Nice that life change change like that
Hacks on sleep during pregnancy: take magnesium and also put some magnesium salt in your baths❤
Great tip. Take magnesium but not for a few weeks before due date. Magnesium salt and other non oral methods can be used without limit.
I HATED my pregnancy pillow but maybe I just got the wrong kind. It caused lots of arguments between my husband and I 😂
If your hayfever is getting bad, try finding a local honey producer. I heard it helps since its made from pollen that's around you.
Your hair was looking so gorgeous and healthy ❤❤
I am so happy for you Grace!!!Congratulations 🎉
Best of luck with the pregnancy Grace,talk about the pregnancy,it's your vlog 🤍🙏🤍🙏🤍
BABY GRACK ON THE WAY!!!! Congratulations!!! 🎉
I started watching you maybe around 7 or 8 years back and I still do. In those years i got married and had a son and now he is 4. You got married and now am pregnant. Yet it feels all the same.

Did you spin the pillow? I had the same one and it said to spin it (I think before putting it in the case….)
Pregnancy cravings are great, You will be eating stewed fruit next lol

All I wanted was fried cow liver, caramelized onions, and gravy made from the liver drippings. Sooooo yucky! Even the smell of that makes me sick before and after my pregnancy.
Funny thing - I must have eaten 500 lbs of rice during my pregnancy with my daughter. She LOVES rice. And when she was pregnant with her daughter she craved fried rice and plain white rice. Her daughter LOVES both fried rice and plain white rice. Many days she'll only eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and supper!
Share your heart... you'll know what to say.. congratulations... I got tears in my eyes because I've watched you for years and it's wonderful to see your life take shape ❤️
I love the random S Club 7 references you make. Sometimes I think I hallucinated them, but then you quote a song and I realize other people heard their music too 😹
Being a subscriber for years now, I still can’t believe that you’re pregnant! I still see you sometimes as someone who was scared to be away from home overnight. So innocent and pure. Just love to see how far you’ve come!
A couple of things that can be helpful when you want to talk yourself out of doing something- Give yourself an out. If you say, I can leave at…?(set a time that you can leave), more often than not you’ll stay the entire time, but it helps with the initial nerves to feel that you have an out. Also, remember that it’s easy to confuse excitement with being nervous. And sure, sometimes you’re just nervous, but it can be excitement and your brain/body is confusing the two. Unsolicited, but hope it helps a little 😊
Mr. Grack’s boxers on the radiator behind you is a vibe.
Poor mr grack. Let’s hope he doesn’t watch this one.
I starting drinking fizzy drinks especially Pepsi when I was pregnant and I’ve never drank fizzy drinks before 🤣
I loved my pregnancy pillow and I regret getting rid of it but I loved using it upside down with my regular pillow for my head!
Honor looks like young Victoria Beckham !
You might try eating a healthy fat before bed like avocado etc. That generally helps with my middle of the night wake up after eating it consistently for a few days❤ absolutely love you and your vlogs. They make me feel so at home💕
“Mine too “ 😉😂😂
Honor is the only person I have ever heard say that Tony’s upsets their stomach but it upsets mine too, and no one ever believes me! It gives me insane bloating and nausea! Especially the salted almond and salted caramel flavours, I can eat the dark chocolate brownie one but only on a full stomach. I actually feel so validated that it isn’t just me 😂
OMG! im 15 weeks and me too with the insomnia! and then headaches...its all part of the journey excited for you! when are you due?! we are having our miracle rainbow baby and are so happy to be able to do this with you!
I had been craving a dirty chai from Starbucks, i had to do one shot of espresso though and not 2 but when i worked there i made up a drink its an iced dirty chai with honey blend and oat milk and then vanilla sweet cream cold foam with cinnamon powder in it… its so addicting especially during pregnancy!!!
A golden matcha is usually a turmeric and matcha latte in one.
I could not stay awake when I was pregnant. It was crazy. I couldn't drive because I couldn't stay awake. So strange.
After giving birth, I became an insomniac, though that was very helpful instead of having to wake up constantly. I didn't actually need a lot of sleep for several years. Unexpected blessings there.
Im so excited for you. You are going to be a brilliant mum. Your baby bump is adorable. Stretchy clothes and hubby's shirts are excellent for pregnancy.
My pregnancy craving the first pregnancy was baked potatoes with butter, creamy mushroom soup instead of gravy, and mild cheddar cheese on it. Could not get enough of it. Could not be in the same room with chovolate, nevermind eating it. Even the smell of it was enough to trigger severe gagging. I am and always have been a chocoholic. Except that first pregnancy. That baby was a girl.
Second pregnancy (a boy, amazing how different it was!) it was bananas foster on vanilla ice cream that I couldn't get enough of. I only had a very small one every day, but just had to have it. Rum flavoring in it, not actual rum, of course! The revulsion food in second pregnancy was anything with vinegar in it. I could tell 2 rooms away, with the doors closed, the moment my husband opened the ketchup or mustard. It had to be banished till delivery. Lol.
It is amazing how early they can find out the gender these days. Like at 10 weeks via blood test.
Makes me feel old. In my day, people had to wait till an ultrasound at 20 weeks and hope the baby cooperated.
We didn't want to find out, waited for the birth. Really fun to hear my dr announce which it was.
Of course I didn't have to do a bunch of prep. I had lots of sisters and friends and could get boy stuff or girl stuff any time I needed it so it didn't matter not finding out in advance.
Some baby clothes in my family are now being passed around and being worn by a 3rd generation! My mother made them, so definitely not something we would just get rid of. But babies grow so fast that they didnt get a lot of wear before they were outgrown. So we have pictures of my moms babies, her babies babies, and her babies babies babies in them. It's really quite fun.
Enjoy every moment of pregnancy and babies and toddlers and children and teens and beyond. It is all wonderful in different ways. I hear so many people complain about it these days, but I loved it and I miss it. Well, Im in the beyond stage now. Lol. Still wonderful.
Love your videos! So excited for you.
Honestly hearing about yours makes me feel better in mine , my pregnancy pillow has been my bestfriend I have insomnia ( 3rd baby) and it started a few weeks ago I’m now 35 weeks got told it’ll stay around till the end never had it with my others 😭, put sickness and gestational diabetes on top makes for a fun time I’ve Hurd peppermint tea is mean to be good and my midwife told me to take magnesium before bed !
if you enjoyed that..there's a movie (a couple of years old) called Unstoppable WITH Bethany Hamilton and also Soul Surfer ABOUT her... both are so inspirational!
Maybe Papa Booth and Banksy could do a channel take over during maternity leave? Or you could let others who might want to take time on the channel like Jesse or Honor? Kind of like guest hosts.
Some valuable life advice to you Grace is that life will always test you and take you into unexpected situations in which you never saw coming your way. Nothing and no one can fix your issues but yourself that is arising. Be courageous in the face of adversity. Much love
Blackout blinds life-changing!!!
I hated my pregnancy pillow but I’m very picky about sheets and pillows.
Grace love the dress you looked lovely 💖💖💖
Grace, save the portion of this video where you talk about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone for the sake of your child. I say that because they will 100% say, "that's fine for you Mum, but you don't understand how nervous this makes me." This is your receipt, as they say.
please the crumpled up oat milk carton killed me
Still can't believe our little Gracey is pregnant 🥰🥰🥰
Eating cereal whilst I’m watching this! 😂
Chai is tea. Black tea with a variety of spices. Basically when some white guy stole tea seedlings from China and planted them in India, the locals liked the taste of tea, but improved it by adding their own spices. Google how to make a proper chai tea. Pretty sure you will love it. Super great for your body, too.
Congratulations again Grace ❤ my pregnancy craving was actually hot water 😂 thought you’d appreciate it
😊. I used to call my mum Girl. 😊❤❤❤
I’m not sure if i missed it but how many weeks are you?
