I have been a fan of you and Larry for quite some time. You are just SO humble and mindful of moms who have triggers and have had loss. And just the way you talk is so respectful and well spoken. So happy for you!! ❤️
Hello. Mindy & Larry...... I am so happy for you and Larry.....👫💓💙🤍💗... That you are talking about your first trimester given all the mothers out there who are having the same issues first-time moms-to-be .........🤰
Just know I appreciate that little disclaimer in the beginning for all those that are trying (including me). It’s been a rough few months & my husband and I got into it last night over ttc. I’m a little down today but still want to support and watch your videos. But thank you for that, I appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
Praying for you sweetheart! I hope everything goes well and works out for you and your husband. Life can be tough at times! Just keep your head up, you got this! Never give up!! When the time is right you will get your little one. :) I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for better days. It's ok to not be ok at times. It's life!
Mindy, I love how you are so aware of other’s feelings and let your viewers know it’s okay to not be in a place to watch this! though I have not struggled with conceiving, I can’t imagine how hard it must be. Very happy for you and Larry!!❤️
I will still continue to watch your journey because I know how much you struggled with getting pregnant also. I have been ttc baby number 2 for over a year. I know my time will come. I am so happy for you and Larry. You both deserve this so much.
Beautiful mindy , your are such an inspiration, your honesty is refreshing, I felt my first baby flutters at 16 /17 weeks , its 37 years ago now and iv never forgot how wonderful that feeling is , love ❤️ you and Larry, luna and lexi xxx
love you guys!! can’t wait to see little baby peanut!! don’t want to spoil gender for anyone who hasn’t seen reveal! if you haven’t watched their gender reveal go watch it now!! 😄😄
Firstly, I’m so so so happy for you guys! I’ve been here since before Larry was introduced so it’s been crazy to see the whole journey! Also, I think it’d be awesome if at some point y’all would do a video of you guys watching/reacting to some of your very first fertility videos with your knowledge and experience now vs then!💕❤️
You and my sister are not far off pregnancy wise, she also went through IVF with a failed one last summer and one that worked the end of October. She's having a little girl this summer and it's so exciting for our family - and it's been so cool watching your content with everything going on. So excited for you and Larry!
Just so happy you're having a child. I have a 38-year-old male cousin who had a child last year. And a 19-year-old female cousin too. Same gender as yours. They love them so much. I keep thinking of Britney Spears loving her two kids.
I have been watching your whole journey and I started trying to conceive around the same time you started your IUI journey. I am still unsuccessful in becoming pregnant and was worried I would be able to handle watching you along the rest of your pregnancy journey, but I al just SO HAPPY for you guys 💗💗 and you’re so mindful of us still going through it. You are so kind and I can’t wait to keep following along!
You have such a beautiful soul. The way you speak of others and their struggles is so sweet. I know you are going to be an amazing mom and I wish you and Larry nothing but the best. Having a baby after struggling to become pregnant is the best feeling in the world. ❤ Keep us posted I just love ur videos...
Yay! This video will be a great one to remember. I wish I had taken better notes during pregnancy and more pictures. I miss it, such a small stretch of time. She is beautiful, though. Happy for you guys!
Also: book recommendation: I was just about to buy "What to expect when you're expecting" but I went a bit in depth with Amazon reviews and some people find it a bit too unscientific. So based on that, I got the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy - written by an actual doctor! I find it very informative so far and would recommend it!
@@cheesychickensmile wow nice! I had no idea that insurance gets you books!! (Fresh immigrant here, still learning the ropes of the American way of life!)
@@ElaSiromascenko1 i think it depends on the insurance. The one i had with my first pregnancy didnt send me anything. But with my insurance now they have a special program for future mums and they sent it to me. I thought it would be lame but it's actually really good.
So happy for you and Larry! I've been going on a pregnancy journey of my own for almost 4 months now and though it hasn't been long, it feels as if its been way too long 😅 you have been an encouragment of mine since you've started your journey and so happy to see you finally expecting!
With my 3rd pregnancy I had HG. 24/7 vomiting. Literally couldn't hold down anything. Went to the hospital every day for IV fluids and meds. I was the smallest I've been since middle school. It was horrible. But worth it. Glad all is well❤️
Ah such a cute video. I loved my pregnancy with my son. He’s 14 months now and I just found out we are expecting again. Well my craving thru entire pregnancy was tomatoes. I could eat them few times a day and between eating them I drank tomato juice too. It’s so funny how now my son eating tomatoes all the time. Few times during pregnancy happened that my poor husband was send out to get me McDonalds ice cream ( specifically Sunday ice cream with carmel) I was blessed with very good pregnancy but gosh … I was huge. You gonna LOVE pregnancy clothes … especially jeans and leggings. Second trimester will be awesome , you’ll have your belly , the baby will be moving around , you will start organizing for the little one … and shopping. The third trimester was the hardest for me as I was huge, it was hard to put on my shoes so hubby got me red crocs and they saved me. It was heavy to breath and worst heartburn ❤️🔥 ever. I was so ready for the little one to come out! All the best to you, Larry and the baby. Do you wonder with Larry how will he look ? Will he have your eyes , Larry’s hair? We were constantly talking about it but when we saw him first time he was most gorgeous little thing ever. Exceed our imagination !
I had an anterior placenta which means the placenta was in front of baby so I didn’t feel kicks or movements until I was 20 weeks. Also totally normal to not feel pregnant when you are! I felt like mine was a fever dream and I took pregnancy tests just to make sure it was real every couple weeks even after we had seen my daughter on two ultrasounds
I am currently 25 weeks and 5 days with a boy and I had very similar symptoms as you did besides the bleeding. I could only eat smoothies in the beginning and i couldn't stand meat and spicy chips was a whole thing but then acid reflux became an issue. So glad you have made it this far in your pregnancy. I didn't really feel flutters or movements until close to 20 weeks this pregnancy and now i feel full on body movements. Cheers to the second trimester!!! 🤰💙
I have been following you for a couple of years now. I have to say you have been glowing lately. You skin seems so clear and you seem to have lost weight! I am so proud of how far you have come, and I can't wait for you following years to come! Love watching you!
I was a surrogate mom to a set of twins and I too was really lucky to not have any vomiting. I carried the twins up to 38 weeks seven they decided to deliver the babies as I just could eat due to no Rome. The babies weight 7 and 6lbs. So fun to see this journey..
When I was pregnant I didn't get heartburn until the last trimester , it always came between 1am-3am it was the worst! I also didn't feel the first kick until 15-16 weeks. 💙
Watching this a few months late as I’m finishing up my first trimester, but it sounds like we had the EXACT same experience! No morning sickness just food aversions, extreme huger/needing to eat every hour or 2, the weird sleeping habits, mild sleepiness/nothing too crazy, started noticing tiny bump around 10 weeks, like everything you said was spot on. Makes me wonder if I’m having a boy too. 😂 We test for the gender in 4 days! 🥰
You have the best book to read...it was my " bible". I was sick through out all 3 of my pregnancies, crackers and gingerale were my friends..lol. My last son I had at 40 yrs old. He is now 24 yrs old. I am so thrilled for you and Larry, enjoy each day of pregnancy!!
Yay! I'm glad your pregnancy is going smooth!! Mine's been miserable haha but in the moments when I feel good, I forget Im pregnant too. With my son i felt the first flutter at 16 weeks. It was the middle of the night. It felt like gas bubbles but one right after the other so it was more fluttering than gas moving around.. Then i felt kicks at 21 weeks. Hubby didnt feel kicks until 26/27 weeks. But with this pregnancy i swear i felt him/her at 10 weeks. It was only one night and havent felt him or her again though-im 13 weeks now. Love this video💙
Love watching your videos!❤!! Thank you for keeping us who are struggling with our TTC journeys in mind, but you also give us hope🌈. My story is very similar to yours and one day I will eventually share it, but until then I will enjoy watching your journey😊!!! So happy for you and Larry 💙
One suggestion, the day the baby is born have Larry buy your local newspaper. Then put that newspaper away. When the child is 18 plus of age, he can look back on the day he was born. You would be surprise how things change from the day iof his birth!
I’m very very excited for you both! I’m currently pregnant myself. My husband and I struggled to get pregnant with our second daughter who is now 5 months. Never ever thought I’d be pregnant again, we found out a week ago I’m about 6weeks along. The youngest two will now be 1 ÿr apart. Pray for me lol. Our oldest is 4yr. I’m just so excited you both are having a baby.
I felt first movements around 16/17 weeks but I wasn’t sure it was baby until like 18 weeks! Then at the 20 week ultrasound, seeing him move and correlating the visual with the sensation was very helpful in validating what I was feeling! Congratulations!!!!! I’m due Saturday and can’t wait to meet my little man🥰
Thank you for giving the trigger warnings, as someone who’s experienced loss, it’s definitely hard sometimes.❤️ With my two girls, I could for sure tell I was pregnant 😂 as I was constantly getting sick and always nauseous lol. With this one, there’s been times where I wonder if I’m pregnant because it’s totally different from my daughters(we find out next week what we’re having!!). I would say as far as feeling baby kick, it was around 22 weeks with my first, about 18 weeks with my second and with this one, I felt kicks at 12-13 weeks! I also think it has a lot to do with how in tune you are with your body. Love you guys! Also Luna trying to get into the plant behind you 😂😂
My youngest kicked when she was 4months in my tummy while my eldest started kicking 6months. Best to do 30mins walking when tummy turns 6months until 9months, morning & night. Helps during birth, it works w/me!😊 #justsayin
When you go on your road trip, tip for the wise: watch the sodium a few days before you leave and drink even more water than you already do. If you get edema from the trip, don't worry...it'll go away with lots of hydration (not a doctor...just my experience). I went on a road trip and showered when I got to where I was going, looked down at my feet in my 2nd trimester and completely freaked out at the size if my feet lol. Totally normal to not "feel" pregnant right now! You're amazing and love you and Larry!
Hiiiiii Mindy.....I just loved this video of your first trimester. I can't wait to see all your updates please do the second and third one too. Also, I just love watching this journey with you your such a loving inspirational woman and friend. I'm so happy and excited Everytime I get a notification I always come straight over and watch your my favorite and I just love you and your family. Hope baby is doing well as you too. The bleeding like you do your right some woman do and some don't during their pregnancy. Also, loved the cute freckle u got it is crazy when my mom was pregnant she had straight hair and after giving birth her hair turned to curly isn't that crazy. Pregnancy does crazy and special things and is such a blessing and wonderful to remember so I'm thankful your sharing your updates as well because you are like family and I always wonder how your doing. Love you all so so much and my baby boy (3months) said he can't wait to meet your baby one day. 🥰🥰💖💖❤️❤️👶👶🙏🙏
I absolutely loved this vLog Mindy💖 so balanced, clear & presented well, will be helpful for anyone in the early stages of their pregnancy. Plus you are glowing! 🌟 Your positive mindset is on point too (mindful breathe work/mindful eating) Good to see the daddy in the reflection behind you🤩💙 (being a lady of a certain age) I am so proud of how you are handling your pregnancy & especially healthy diet choices. This will help with goodness to the little pumpkin 🎃💜 & also, minimise the weight gain🙈 I know 1st hand 😁 (I'm the one with 4 boys/Twins) Tell me about the hair growth 🙄 I think you'll have the best advice right by your side (between Larry & your parents😉 Maybe, a Journal type book waiting to be written by Larry💙 as a younger & then mature parent) and I am sure you are sensible enough not to buy into following advice from the so-called young celebrity culture parent books (from a good place) I get the pee-ing & still remember it well, a bit of advice when you go, let a bit of pee out, then hold etc. (Ahead of the game bladder control 🤭💖)...Nothing to do with pregnancy but as I struggle with High anxiety at times & currently studying for a book I'm working on. Try out 5-2-8...'5 breaths in, 2 hold, 8 breaths out' (effects on the Vegus nerve) for anyone😍 Finally, yes I have thoroughly enjoyed your 1st trimester recap. Much Love to you both. Catherine, UK, England 🇬🇧 xXx
So excited for you for entering your second trimester. I am currently on my second as well, 22 weeks. If you do decide to get maternity jeans, Shein is really good quality and true to size and affordable. Like you, I ate so many bags of hot cheetos in the first trimester. Sending blessings and lots of love.
I am truly just so very happy for you Mindy ....being with you on this whole journey, and to see where u are now ...it's just such a beautiful thing, you have been through So much along the way and never gave up hope... you deserve every bit of happiness 🙏💜
Please film a second trimester recap. I found this to be super interesting as I’m also going through fertility treatment. I had my 4th IUI almost a week ago 🤞🏻
Mindy you look great! A diet high in selenium, zinc and Omega 3 plus Omega 6, regular exfoliation (Body Shop Avocado Exfoliant or Clarins Body Exfoliant (the best)) and a very rich cream and oil (Bio Oil mixed with the NIVEA RICH NOURISHING LOTION) will absolutely stave off those stretch marks. Bath and apply twice a day. Laser is great if you do end up with stretch marks that really bother you. If you get stuck with bothersome pigmentation find yourself a good dermatologist after you are done breastfeeding (assuming you will) (not a cosmetic dermatologist) and ask him to prescribe for you the 0.05% Retinol Gel. If used correctly it will not irritate your sensitive skin and the pigmentation will be prevented from getting worse and will disappear.
Until the very end there was times I would “forget I’m pregnant”. Very normal feeling and truly a blessing and good feeling. It means you are for the most part experiencing a healthy and happy pregnancy! Scheduled for a C-section this Saturday! 39 weeks And my 3rd baby boy is breech!
My last one was a footling breach, so I had to have a c- section. Little brat. No, seriously, you was my last, and I love her dearly. She's is 20 now and just had her own baby!
I was pregnant once. It did lasted 7 weeks. I had an odd symptom. I was boiling hot. It was winter and I was so over heated I struggled to wear any clothing or shoes. All I could do was sit near a fan and read. I was so hot I could not have a pillow because it was too warm. I could go outside in freezing temperatures in a t-shirt, shorts and canvas shoes with no socks and sweat through all of it by the time I walked to the car. I have only heard of one other person who had this issue. I felt like I was burning up all the time and I would sweat a rediculous amount. I would have preferred the nausea.
I had certain foods with each of my kids I couldn’t eat. The sleep issues is preparing you for when baby is here. Especially third trimester. I’m so happy to see you going through this journey.
Oh Yes. 1000% So well worded about the sleep issue! The preggo insomnia was terrible with my first in 2020. I learned it did help prep me for the losing of even more sleep when she came. NOW I am 38 weeks with my my son and the insomnia is really intense, but I am used to no sleep because of baby #1! Truly! It sounds crazy but your body becomes attuned! Now I know this baby will be almost easier to deal with the night waking! You do become a boss at having little sleep and still being productive. Sorry this is so long, I just SO agree. Never thought of it like it was prepping you, but it definitely is! ✨😊 💪
Love this video when I was pregnant with my now 11 year old son I only found out at 26 weeks so yes SHOCK 😲. But wouldn't change it now definitely rush to get ready for him but was great and I'm a single mom by choice has I knew that I be one 😀 best thing I ever did
I kept thinking your hair looked thicker...then you said your hair was growing faster. Thanks for sharing...glad everything is going well with baby boy minx! :)
Staying hydrated and moisturizer helps a lot with the elasticity of the skin and will also help all around feeling better while growing a little one. I noticed with the 2 pregnancies I had that were very easy and quick deliveries I was a lot more active and mindful of my fitness and diet with those. I broke my back when I was 18 and have a lot of problems with my back top to bottom and 2/4 labors were PAINFUL back labor. But the other 2 were very easy and quick. My 2nd and 4th were the easy and painless deliveries until the pushing part 😉
Love you and Larry’s videos! Just a quick piece of advice, I too suffer from extreme migraines and while pregnant in the 2nd trimester I was able to take a different more mild migraine medication, and it wasn’t perfect but it did aid me in having to actually function lol. However, everyone and every doctor is different. It may just be a conversation to have. Also I felt my daughter at 16 weeks, it felt like a bubble a few times, then by 18 weeks I could feel full on movement!
Congratulations on your newest baby! ❤️ i had a baby girl 3 years ago and the first trimester was the worst! Every night I had a date with the toilet lol
I first felt movement at 16 weeks. When I told my doctor that at the anatomy scan, my first ultrasound, she said she was thinking it would be twins but turned out baby was just measuring long. The beginning ones feel very similar to when you have gas moving around or gas bubbles down low on belly.
I had fluttering at 16 weeks and I was told that I was further along having a big baby or having twins so at my 20 week ultrasound which was the very 1st one they told us I was ahead in my pregnancy AND having twins. Best day ever.
Really enjoyed the video .Looking forward to you going shopping for baby stuff .It’s normally about 16 weeks you will start feeling the baby moving it will be like a flutter.I’m so excited for both of you .The baby will have wonderful parents 💚💚☘️☘️
Hey Mindy and Larry I felt this baby girl at 13 weeks she's already in the 75th percentile I will be 25 weeks pregnant tomorrow love your vlogs this is my rainbow baby
Had to pause the video to ask - could you please tell us where you got your sweatshirt? It’s so cute! Also, congratulations on entering your second trimester! 💕
We are going through the whole fertility journey. I do have a child but here almost 14 yrs later my immune system doesn't want to cooperate. I know everyone is different but despite all my miscarriages and struggle I still love seeing other women so happy and excited during their pregnancy. I also love hearing about everything because it will be helpful when I finally do have another baby ❤️🤞
So excited for you Mindy & Larry!! book recommendation; Ima May Guide to Childbirth. Good read no matter what route you take with your birth, its very empowering!
I'm really not trying to be mean about this other RUclipsr, but there is one who made all issues monumentas out of little everyday pregnancy issues for the entire pregnancy. I had all those same issues and the same type of pregnancy she did but didn't consistently and narrcissistically whine about them. ❤ It is so nice to see a healthy, normal woman with some normal pregnancy issues and not whining about them. Best of luck to you. it's so so fun watching your journey.
With my first pregnancy (which she is working her way to being a 4 year old *cry*) I could not have chicken or cooked onions for the whole pregnancy that started a little before 10 weeks pregnant. With that pregnancy I craved burgers, lemonade, bagels and plain cream cheese, salt and vinegar chips and milkshakes lol. I felt the flutters at 12 weeks my doctor thought it was just gas but 2 weeks later they were getting more prominent as the weeks went on so she said that I did feel them at 12 weeks. I started to show at 14 weeks. With my second pregnancy (she’s almost 6 months old now, it’s going by too fast) I didn’t really have any cravings with her. I felt flutters around the same time around 12-13 weeks started to show at 11 weeks. I did stay away from chicken again this pregnancy just based on how I was the first pregnancy lol
I'm now in my sixth week since embryo transfer and I've had Flutters since week 4. And now it's getting more and Flutters, maybe thats normal or I'm growing twins idk😂 but my first ob appointment is next week so we'll know what's happening with baby❤. Congrats you and Larry on baby's gender, you're gonna be a great boy mom🥰😍

Not only are you just so beautiful, you’re so kind and respectful of others feelings as well. So happy you’ve had such an easy going pregnancy so far.
I will still continue to watch your journey because I know how much you struggled with getting pregnant also. I have been ttc baby number 2 for over a year. I know my time will come. I am so happy for you and Larry. You both deserve this so much.
Mindy might have a child with the same color eyes as Larry's like she's always wished... 💙💙
I’m hoping so too!

So happy for you all Mindy and Larry !! You are showing . I took 5-6 week photo and was bloated but I still called it a bump 😂. Idc. Lol
Haha my rule of thumb is if you are pregnant, its a bump. even if its gas or fat, if there is a baby in there somewhere, it's a baby bump!
I was a surrogate mom to a set of twins and I too was really lucky to not have any vomiting. I carried the twins up to 38 weeks seven they decided to deliver the babies as I just could eat due to no Rome. The babies weight 7 and 6lbs. So fun to see this journey..

Watching this a few months late as I’m finishing up my first trimester, but it sounds like we had the EXACT same experience! No morning sickness just food aversions, extreme huger/needing to eat every hour or 2, the weird sleeping habits, mild sleepiness/nothing too crazy, started noticing tiny bump around 10 weeks, like everything you said was spot on. Makes me wonder if I’m having a boy too. 😂 We test for the gender in 4 days! 🥰
You have the best book to read...it was my " bible". I was sick through out all 3 of my pregnancies, crackers and gingerale were my friends..lol. My last son I had at 40 yrs old. He is now 24 yrs old. I am so thrilled for you and Larry, enjoy each day of pregnancy!!
Are you and Larry going to do the baby mamma dance ? i think it would be pretty fun.
Yay! I'm glad your pregnancy is going smooth!! Mine's been miserable haha but in the moments when I feel good, I forget Im pregnant too. With my son i felt the first flutter at 16 weeks. It was the middle of the night. It felt like gas bubbles but one right after the other so it was more fluttering than gas moving around.. Then i felt kicks at 21 weeks. Hubby didnt feel kicks until 26/27 weeks. But with this pregnancy i swear i felt him/her at 10 weeks. It was only one night and havent felt him or her again though-im 13 weeks now. Love this video💙
LOVE the outside setting soooo much! Do it as often as weather permits please!
Love watching your videos!❤!! Thank you for keeping us who are struggling with our TTC journeys in mind, but you also give us hope🌈. My story is very similar to yours and one day I will eventually share it, but until then I will enjoy watching your journey😊!!! So happy for you and Larry 💙
One suggestion, the day the baby is born have Larry buy your local newspaper. Then put that newspaper away. When the child is 18 plus of age, he can look back on the day he was born. You would be surprise how things change from the day iof his birth!
Good morning lovely, here with my coffee. So happy your first trimester is behind you. 💙💙💙
Good Morning!!!
I’m very very excited for you both! I’m currently pregnant myself. My husband and I struggled to get pregnant with our second daughter who is now 5 months. Never ever thought I’d be pregnant again, we found out a week ago I’m about 6weeks along. The youngest two will now be 1 ÿr apart. Pray for me lol. Our oldest is 4yr. I’m just so excited you both are having a baby.
You look amazing! Can't wait to meet little baby boy 💙 👶🏻
I felt first movements around 16/17 weeks but I wasn’t sure it was baby until like 18 weeks! Then at the 20 week ultrasound, seeing him move and correlating the visual with the sensation was very helpful in validating what I was feeling! Congratulations!!!!! I’m due Saturday and can’t wait to meet my little man🥰
Oh and freckles.. I ended up with 83 freckles I never had when I had my second daughter. Girl for sure!
Felt first movement at 16 weeks! So excited for you to feel that little guy move, its the best feeling and you will miss it!
Thank you for giving the trigger warnings, as someone who’s experienced loss, it’s definitely hard sometimes.❤️ With my two girls, I could for sure tell I was pregnant 😂 as I was constantly getting sick and always nauseous lol. With this one, there’s been times where I wonder if I’m pregnant because it’s totally different from my daughters(we find out next week what we’re having!!). I would say as far as feeling baby kick, it was around 22 weeks with my first, about 18 weeks with my second and with this one, I felt kicks at 12-13 weeks! I also think it has a lot to do with how in tune you are with your body. Love you guys! Also Luna trying to get into the plant behind you 😂😂
My youngest kicked when she was 4months in my tummy while my eldest started kicking 6months. Best to do 30mins walking when tummy turns 6months until 9months, morning & night. Helps during birth, it works w/me!😊 #justsayin
I enjoyed this video! Excited for your second trimester update!
When you go on your road trip, tip for the wise: watch the sodium a few days before you leave and drink even more water than you already do. If you get edema from the trip, don't worry...it'll go away with lots of hydration (not a doctor...just my experience). I went on a road trip and showered when I got to where I was going, looked down at my feet in my 2nd trimester and completely freaked out at the size if my feet lol. Totally normal to not "feel" pregnant right now! You're amazing and love you and Larry!
Hiiiiii Mindy.....I just loved this video of your first trimester. I can't wait to see all your updates please do the second and third one too. Also, I just love watching this journey with you your such a loving inspirational woman and friend. I'm so happy and excited Everytime I get a notification I always come straight over and watch your my favorite and I just love you and your family. Hope baby is doing well as you too. The bleeding like you do your right some woman do and some don't during their pregnancy. Also, loved the cute freckle u got it is crazy when my mom was pregnant she had straight hair and after giving birth her hair turned to curly isn't that crazy. Pregnancy does crazy and special things and is such a blessing and wonderful to remember so I'm thankful your sharing your updates as well because you are like family and I always wonder how your doing. Love you all so so much and my baby boy (3months) said he can't wait to meet your baby one day. 🥰🥰💖💖❤️❤️👶👶🙏🙏
I absolutely loved this vLog Mindy💖 so balanced, clear & presented well, will be helpful for anyone in the early stages of their pregnancy. Plus you are glowing! 🌟 Your positive mindset is on point too (mindful breathe work/mindful eating) Good to see the daddy in the reflection behind you🤩💙 (being a lady of a certain age) I am so proud of how you are handling your pregnancy & especially healthy diet choices. This will help with goodness to the little pumpkin 🎃💜 & also, minimise the weight gain🙈 I know 1st hand 😁 (I'm the one with 4 boys/Twins) Tell me about the hair growth 🙄 I think you'll have the best advice right by your side (between Larry & your parents😉 Maybe, a Journal type book waiting to be written by Larry💙 as a younger & then mature parent) and I am sure you are sensible enough not to buy into following advice from the so-called young celebrity culture parent books (from a good place) I get the pee-ing & still remember it well, a bit of advice when you go, let a bit of pee out, then hold etc. (Ahead of the game bladder control 🤭💖)...Nothing to do with pregnancy but as I struggle with High anxiety at times & currently studying for a book I'm working on. Try out 5-2-8...'5 breaths in, 2 hold, 8 breaths out' (effects on the Vegus nerve) for anyone😍 Finally, yes I have thoroughly enjoyed your 1st trimester recap. Much Love to you both. Catherine, UK, England 🇬🇧 xXx
So excited for you for entering your second trimester. I am currently on my second as well, 22 weeks. If you do decide to get maternity jeans, Shein is really good quality and true to size and affordable. Like you, I ate so many bags of hot cheetos in the first trimester. Sending blessings and lots of love.
You look absolutely amazing! Gorgeous, glowing, and beautiful as ever!!!!
Yayyyy!!!!! I’m so happy to be here to watch the video 🧡🧡🧡🧡
I am truly just so very happy for you Mindy ....being with you on this whole journey, and to see where u are now ...it's just such a beautiful thing, you have been through So much along the way and never gave up hope... you deserve every bit of happiness 🙏💜
Please film a second trimester recap. I found this to be super interesting as I’m also going through fertility treatment. I had my 4th IUI almost a week ago 🤞🏻
Mindy you look great!
A diet high in selenium, zinc and Omega 3 plus Omega 6, regular exfoliation (Body Shop Avocado Exfoliant or Clarins Body Exfoliant (the best)) and a very rich cream and oil (Bio Oil mixed with the NIVEA RICH NOURISHING LOTION) will absolutely stave off those stretch marks. Bath and apply twice a day. Laser is great if you do end up with stretch marks that really bother you.
If you get stuck with bothersome pigmentation find yourself a good dermatologist after you are done breastfeeding (assuming you will) (not a cosmetic dermatologist) and ask him to prescribe for you the 0.05% Retinol Gel. If used correctly it will not irritate your sensitive skin and the pigmentation will be prevented from getting worse and will disappear.
Until the very end there was times I would “forget I’m pregnant”. Very normal feeling and truly a blessing and good feeling. It means you are for the most part experiencing a healthy and happy pregnancy!
Scheduled for a C-section this Saturday! 39 weeks And my 3rd baby boy is breech!
My last one was a footling breach, so I had to have a c- section. Little brat. No, seriously, you was my last, and I love her dearly. She's is 20 now and just had her own baby!
I was pregnant once. It did lasted 7 weeks. I had an odd symptom. I was boiling hot. It was winter and I was so over heated I struggled to wear any clothing or shoes. All I could do was sit near a fan and read. I was so hot I could not have a pillow because it was too warm. I could go outside in freezing temperatures in a t-shirt, shorts and canvas shoes with no socks and sweat through all of it by the time I walked to the car. I have only heard of one other person who had this issue. I felt like I was burning up all the time and I would sweat a rediculous amount. I would have preferred the nausea.
I had certain foods with each of my kids I couldn’t eat. The sleep issues is preparing you for when baby is here. Especially third trimester. I’m so happy to see you going through this journey.
Oh Yes. 1000% So well worded about the sleep issue! The preggo insomnia was terrible with my first in 2020. I learned it did help prep me for the losing of even more sleep when she came. NOW I am 38 weeks with my my son and the insomnia is really intense, but I am used to no sleep because of baby #1! Truly! It sounds crazy but your body becomes attuned! Now I know this baby will be almost easier to deal with the night waking! You do become a boss at having little sleep and still being productive. Sorry this is so long, I just SO agree. Never thought of it like it was prepping you, but it definitely is! ✨😊 💪
When I was little, I found a tack inside my Chef Boyardee Ravioli.
Howwwwww GOOD is this background visual aesthetic &&&& entertainment this vlog omg love it love new angels too in vlogs haha!
Great video Mindy,thanks for the recap,I didn't realise how much I missed about your pregnancy
I never used to wake up once I was asleep until I was pregnant. I swear my body was just getting ready for the night wakings with a baby!
Great job on your first trimester Mindy!
A great book is beautiful babies. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy ❤️
Love love love you 😍 loved watching this recap ❤
Love this video when I was pregnant with my now 11 year old son I only found out at 26 weeks so yes SHOCK 😲. But wouldn't change it now definitely rush to get ready for him but was great and I'm a single mom by choice has I knew that I be one 😀 best thing I ever did
I kept thinking your hair looked thicker...then you said your hair was growing faster. Thanks for sharing...glad everything is going well with baby boy minx! :)
👋🏼 waving to Larry when he waved
Staying hydrated and moisturizer helps a lot with the elasticity of the skin and will also help all around feeling better while growing a little one. I noticed with the 2 pregnancies I had that were very easy and quick deliveries I was a lot more active and mindful of my fitness and diet with those. I broke my back when I was 18 and have a lot of problems with my back top to bottom and 2/4 labors were PAINFUL back labor. But the other 2 were very easy and quick. My 2nd and 4th were the easy and painless deliveries until the pushing part 😉
I dont feel pregnant either most of the time Mindy, you are not alone. I am 14 weeks today! have a great day, thanks for the update💛
A lil Larry Jr.. awesome. I think the hole story of you two is beautiful.
I know this baby is going to be so loved! You are adorable!!
Mindy, what happens with your other embryos? Are you and Larry going to have more children? I’m so happy to see you glowing!!
I ate so much canned ravioli while pregnant with my first. Chef B was my bff. Soooo good!
i am on my 1st IUI and currently on two week wait.I feel like i am losing my mind. the waiting game is just too much. I'm happy for you. 🥰
Love you and Larry’s videos! Just a quick piece of advice, I too suffer from extreme migraines and while pregnant in the 2nd trimester I was able to take a different more mild migraine medication, and it wasn’t perfect but it did aid me in having to actually function lol. However, everyone and every doctor is different. It may just be a conversation to have. Also I felt my daughter at 16 weeks, it felt like a bubble a few times, then by 18 weeks I could feel full on movement!
Congratulations Mindy. Just had my baby boy and my first trimester was not easy.love your videos.
Congratulations on your newest baby! ❤️ i had a baby girl 3 years ago and the first trimester was the worst! Every night I had a date with the toilet lol
Thank you!! Congratulations to you as well Mama🥰
This is it babe 😭 for the longest time that we are waiting for you to shop maternity clothes...we'd love to watch you shopping 😍
I hope you do some maternity clothing try ons soon, like to compare different brands of maternity leggings, shorts, etc. It would be fun!!
I am so happy for you guys!!
I first felt movement at 16 weeks. When I told my doctor that at the anatomy scan, my first ultrasound, she said she was thinking it would be twins but turned out baby was just measuring long. The beginning ones feel very similar to when you have gas moving around or gas bubbles down low on belly.
I had fluttering at 16 weeks and I was told that I was further along having a big baby or having twins so at my 20 week ultrasound which was the very 1st one they told us I was ahead in my pregnancy AND having twins. Best day ever.
Really enjoyed the video .Looking forward to you going shopping for baby stuff .It’s normally about 16 weeks you will start feeling the baby moving it will be like a flutter.I’m so excited for both of you .The baby will have wonderful parents 💚💚☘️☘️
I love the Ovia pregnancy app! It shows you how big baby’s hand and feet are 🥺 and pregnancy+ gives you a 3D look at baby
My first trimester was rough! I’m so glad yours was not bad. I’m so excited for you guys!
Awe thank you & So sorry you had a rough first trimester🥺❤️
@@MindyMinx it was so worth it though! My baby boy just turned 1 month old yesterday. Becoming a mom is the absolute best thing ever.
Hey Mindy and Larry I felt this baby girl at 13 weeks she's already in the 75th percentile I will be 25 weeks pregnant tomorrow love your vlogs this is my rainbow baby
You’re so amazing and I know your going to be a great mother
Keep up the great work
Had to pause the video to ask - could you please tell us where you got your sweatshirt? It’s so cute! Also, congratulations on entering your second trimester! 💕
I found it at Plato’s Closet in Georgia but it’s originally from Shein.
🍊!!! Yay.! Thanks for sharing your story....
We are going through the whole fertility journey. I do have a child but here almost 14 yrs later my immune system doesn't want to cooperate. I know everyone is different but despite all my miscarriages and struggle I still love seeing other women so happy and excited during their pregnancy. I also love hearing about everything because it will be helpful when I finally do have another baby ❤️🤞
Awe thank you. Wishing you all the best in your fertility journey Mama❤️
@@MindyMinx Thank you 🥰
So excited for you Mindy & Larry!! book recommendation; Ima May Guide to Childbirth. Good read no matter what route you take with your birth, its very empowering!
I'm really not trying to be mean about this other RUclipsr, but there is one who made all issues monumentas out of little everyday pregnancy issues for the entire pregnancy. I had all those same issues and the same type of pregnancy she did but didn't consistently and narrcissistically whine about them.
❤ It is so nice to see a healthy, normal woman with some normal pregnancy issues and not whining about them.
Best of luck to you. it's so so fun watching your journey.
Both you and Larry are great!!! Boy moms rock
I LOVE BioOil. It is AMAZING. It is a great softner too.
With my first pregnancy (which she is working her way to being a 4 year old *cry*) I could not have chicken or cooked onions for the whole pregnancy that started a little before 10 weeks pregnant. With that pregnancy I craved burgers, lemonade, bagels and plain cream cheese, salt and vinegar chips and milkshakes lol. I felt the flutters at 12 weeks my doctor thought it was just gas but 2 weeks later they were getting more prominent as the weeks went on so she said that I did feel them at 12 weeks. I started to show at 14 weeks.
With my second pregnancy (she’s almost 6 months old now, it’s going by too fast) I didn’t really have any cravings with her. I felt flutters around the same time around 12-13 weeks started to show at 11 weeks. I did stay away from chicken again this pregnancy just based on how I was the first pregnancy lol
I am so glad you are doing so good, can’t wait to meet baby.
BTW: Is that the plant you had inside? If it is, it looks so good!!
i am so excited for you both ,i cant wait !!
I'm now in my sixth week since embryo transfer and I've had Flutters since week 4. And now it's getting more and Flutters, maybe thats normal or I'm growing twins idk😂 but my first ob appointment is next week so we'll know what's happening with baby❤. Congrats you and Larry on baby's gender, you're gonna be a great boy mom🥰😍
