Please dont stop living your own life. For the kids it's great to have a rolemodel that shows life is still fulfilling next to being just a mother. Stay yourself and not only the mother of. Besides, once they leave home you dont want to feel useless and enter a black hole. Care for them, do fun stuff with them and enjoy, it's a great addition to your life, not something you should resent.
Don’t stress over baby, plants etc…. A lot of us work full time, have kids, pets and plants and we make it. All about planning and organization.
Kids don't stop your life, you just get a bit more tired! But traveling with kids started early I think makes them more adjusted travelers! I started at 19 and now have two beautiful grandkids from my two boys!! So much fun!! You've been a teacher, you will do great!!!!!
I have to say, you have been such a big part of my plant journey. I have gone from 1 to 50+ houseplants with your help. I love how genuine you are, and I truly enjoy your videos. I am 29 and no where near ready for kids, and it is so nice to hear someone who chose to have kids young be so accepting and understanding of our choices. (Idk why others aren't, it doesn't affect them) I guess I just wanted to say I truly appreciate you 😊
I just wanted to pop on and encourage you as a mom. I am not a mom but I’m a day care worker and nanny 3 kids under 3. It is hard, but it is also amazing. I find it best to laugh when the “just wait” moments come. Kids are funny. When you get overwhelmed and everything seems crazy, that is the time to just be silly your self with the baby the most. Have fun in parenthood. You still get to be becca as a mom 😁
Becca, the way you whip out that saw when a problem arises demonstrates your flexible thinking and ability to bend with whatever arises. You got this motherhood/earning an income thing! You absolutely will figure it out, and you will thrive ❤😊
I really appreciate your perspective on having kids and still being a unique person in addition to a parent. I’m 27 without kids and am excited to learn more about your journey!
Hi Becca, I think its so sweet of you to share your pregnancy journey with us. I only had one child, by choice and yes, your life does change, but you will still be you. I continued to work full time, traveled with and without my son when he was younger and kept my plant hobby, I don't think becoming a parent means you have to lose your identity, it's a choice some make. Enjoy this very special season of your life, it's amazing becoming a parent.
So true...
I lost myself when I became a mother and I did myself a disservice.
If I had to do it again, I would do it in a much different way.
You will do great! Babies are an adjustment, but they are also very adaptable and portable. Get one of those fabric (or make)carriers for you chest. I’m a night owl, so my baby stayed up late with me and slept late.
As a first time mom, for the first couple of months the baby will sleep a great chunk of the day! Although you will also be tired, you’ll also want to find time to do stuff for yourself. Thats the beauty of being a woman we were made for this. You will adjust and figure out what’s best for you! You got this!
😢my youngest didn't sleep . We had to sleep in shifts. I hope hers does
I think your attitude towards baby and plants and life is really healthy. I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you for sharing your life! ❤
I had plants, then children. Both genres survived and thrived!!
I’m 28 and I don’t feel ready to be a mom but when I do become one - this is what I would remind my future self. I know everyone has different styles, personalities and anxieties but I definitely don’t want to feel anxious and scared to bring my babies out in public to where I don’t go anywhere. I work in the wedding industry and I know a florist who is 30 (i’m 28.) She literally totes her baby around and brings him to her jobs while being so calm. It’s so inspiring to me. I want to feel free to go anywhere with my babies and still enjoy what I love.
Becca, you do what you can do and want to do with plants. Your baby is going to be #1 for quite a while. Enjoy her. It'll be wonderful.
You’re gonna best the best mama! You already are!
Just love your videos. You will do just fine when your daughter arrives. It's a process adjusting to a whole new routine, take it one day at a time. Enjoy her and take trips as a family, ya just need to pack all the stuff babies need, lol. ❤
I just have to say I’m obsessed with your Planty background! 😍💚🤤🪴 Everything looks so lush and healthy! 💕
I didn't start my plant journey until my son was almost 2. Happened after I had two pregnancy losses after him. You will still find *some* time to care for your plants. Parenting is hard but so worth it. Best of luck!
Congrats on your baby and enjoy every little moment even though it will be hard. Will support you and watch your ads! ❤ I have an 8 month baby and when she was a newborn, I’ve neglected my plants. Most of my plants survived, but some died and it’s okay. 😊
My plant care took way more of a hit during pregnancy than when I had a newborn, lol! I actually was SO productive with a newborn while on maternity leave because I felt stir-crazy and it was a good creative and nurturing outlet for me that *wasn’t* just being a mom. I just felt too awful when I was pregnant to move or feel passionate about things.
It will be ok and it will workout. I traveled with little kids very little kids four times to Asia so listen to yourself. The only thing I’ve ever regretted is starting as late as I did having kids. So happy for you and. Daniel ❤
I have always had lots of plants and I had 3 children 🎉 my children grew to love plants. They were by my side as I took care of them. Children don’t stop life,they become a part of your life ❤ Relax Enjoy it’s a beautiful time I your life❤
Just wait….everything will be fine!!!!! You’ll be great & manage fine xxxxxx
Don't stress. It will work out just fine with baby and plants.
Yay!! I was just hoping for something planty to watch ❤
My favorite perrenials are definitely my native plants. I've got native sunflower and milkweed and i just added a few others. I plan on adding native asters that will bloom into November. :)
My cactus just fell out of its pot too lol. I have had it for like 3 years, and like it had like no roots, yet it grew an inch or so. Not sure how it’s living, but it is! Glad you are doing you, it’s your life, so why not? 😊
If anything I think its great to have a hobby outside of raising your kids, especially for those early years. It might sound silly but knitting has kept me from postpartum depression the second time around. Its fufilling and peaceful and its something you have control over. You will enjoy getting your ten or more minutes to walk around and care for your plant babies with peace of mind knowing your little one is in good hands. Plus daddy's gotta get some one on one time in!
Maybe get creative if things get overwhelming invite a friend over to help out with the plants! It could be fun!
As long as you have a space inside for baby where you don't have to worry about them reaching any of the plants and they can go 'free range' in the winter haha. Good on you for not heeding everyones warning and advice, you will know when you need advice and you will find out what works for you and your kids. Sometimes all the advice can get confusing and contradicting and get in the way of your own intuition as a mother!
Congratulations on your little girl I am so happy for you!!❤️❤️
Just wait! :) You're going to love being a mom and you'll keep doing all the things you love doing. I've had 3 kids and they never stopped me from doing stuff. It just all blends in! PS do you have a link for the blade you used to cut the two legs off your trellis?
You are so much fun! I love you.
One utuber said they made 50K a year that’s pretty good imo. It’s a lot more than many ppl live on in a year. You’ll do fine with the baby, an your plants an everything else, just wait an see. Don’t stress everything will work out. A baby adds too your life it doesn’t change it totally unless you let it.💚
Can we get a green house mood board/ to-do list video? (A nice sit down video)
I’m so glad you answered the question about your care for plants after baby is here because I’m 39 weeks and I sold quite a few because I was afraid of neglecting them once she arrives since I’m already so exhausted I barely want to care for them. But I feel like the first few months adjusting to being a ftm will definitely be hard trying to care for plants as well (especially in the summer when they need more attention) but I’m excited now to see how often I care for them will change and hopefully I’ll buy more in a few months when I adjust
You are a smart girl. Logically “SOUND”. I was 27 with my first, married 5 yrs then. We felt like that timing was ok for us. Be careful.😂🤣😂, I had another 11 months later and another 18 months later…all girls! I wouldn’t, we wouldn’t trade them for the world. They are 28, 27, & 26. I have two precious grands, a boy and a girl. Thanking God you birth safely a beautiful lil Angel. Blessings on this journey of Parenthood👏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I would LOVE for you to do an outdoors potting mix. I have 95% of my plants in pots outside and use whatever and hope for the best. Lol I would definitely buy tanks green stuff/de la tanks outdoor potting mix.
I like your philosophy! My husband and I used to love camping and traveling before kids,when the kids cam along we did not stop doing those things,our kids had a great outdoors life filled with wonderful memories,now we have 2 grandchildren and we started them very young in the great outdoors too!
I know friends who after having kids stopped doing all the stuff they did as a couple as it was too much effort, ( their words not mine) they kept saying we will do this n that “when the kids get older”, the kids are young adults/teenagers now and they still don’t go out! Of cause you adjust to your kids and yes it is much more effort to do stuff,but you can’t replace their joy and fun if you just ‘wait until…………
Becca, I love watching your youtube chanel. Don't worry about mean comments. Some of people are just awful and can't be happy with their stuff so they feel the others should be also depressed or less happy than them 😋 I would be rather naive then unhappy and worried about everything the whole time. ❤
Oh just wait until you have your baby ❤ wait until you see how precious she is and how amazing it is to have a little buddy all the time 😉 wait until they want to buy the plants while you grocery shop, wait till they pick the first strawberry of the season but dont eat it all because they want you to have a bite too, wait until your 4 year old informs your mom (her grandma) not only what spider mites are but that her monstera has them😅 my kids are now almost 6 and 8... Its been such a joy to let them into my established life and hobbies and answer all their questions and curiosities. It builds their confidence so much and then they gravitate to their own hobbies and welcome you in. Family is so fun, each day I am shocked at how much I have been blessed and how magical the mundane is 🩷
I would love to try the delatank for cymbidiums (orchids), unfortunately I live in Europe 😅 That would work.
Cymbidiums are similar to anthuriums, when it comes to the media requirements. Might not use it as a sole media for Chinese cymbidiums. The hybrids are another subject and that could work. Plus it depends on the environment. 😊
Babies sleep during the day that’s when you catch up with things,and a little time management helps ,I’m sure you will do fine ,💗enjoy this time before baby comes without stressing about later.👍
💚🌱☘️🌵💚
I found out I was allergic to cats and dogs…I have a cat and a dog that I now take care of that was my mom’s (she has dementia and can’t care for her anymore). Oh well, it’s too late, but I change my HVAC filter monthly, use my lint brush on everything, have an air purifier and pray lol.
It’s too late to unlove these little ones, so I’m glad you don’t have any. It would be tough. Funny enough they are not interested in any of my plants that are not pet friendly. If they don’t smell like some type of food, they walk away. 😊
I commend you for taking care of your Moms animals. Awesome thing to do! 💚
After your baby is here and if you still feel like you need a job, and you’re wanting part time work, I would look into housekeeping! Often you are solo, and your days vary from 2-6 hour days!
People are so crazy with their unsolicited baby advice, it's frustrating! Luckily, you'll be the expert on your baby so just take everyone's comments with a grain of salt and you'll be fine :) I know that you and your plants and your baby will find the perfect balance!
HOSTAAAAAAASSSSSSS!!!! 🌿💃
For the life of me, I cannot find the silver soil scoop you use (mentioned in Q&A Part 1 as an essential tool). Would you mind giving us the exact link? Thanks.
rt1home.com/products/soil-scoops here you go!!
What is the mixture you use?
I am highly allergic to cats but i get allergy shots now and we have 2 cats now. I'm allergic to dogs too but not as much and i just noticed that some are worse than others.
I can't believe someone would be so negative as to tell you "oh, just wait till your baby comes, you won't have time for your plants". OH PLS, That's so negative. Your baby will only be a baby for a short while. It's a precious fleeting time. Focus on how neat it will be to have a son or daughter. Think of all the vacations and holidays you'll spend together and the memories you'll share with them.
Have you considered cross posting your tik toks to RUclips shorts? Could help with another source of income! I don’t have tik tok but would definitely watch any short you post!
💚💚
I think your plants will be a good thing to have for a little me time after baby. Idk why people feel the need to try and scare people who are pregnant and make you feel like you have to give up your entire life when you have a child. Like that’s not healthy haha. You’re gonna be a great plant mom and baby mom. Forget people and their negative shit haha
As a teacher (I'm sure you remember from your time teaching), it is so clear to me that people are jealous that you're NOT having a kid to fill a hole/ gap in your life because THEY ARE. So much mediocre parenting out there & they are convinced that they know best.
Live your best life! I can't wait to watch your daughter grow.. 💟🌼🌞

Could you do something like a reverse Q and A?(can't find the and button, I have no idea where it is) Something where you ask the questions and people answer and you can go over it to see people's opinions. How you take this into consideration! Love you Becca!❤💚
you're going to be a great Mom. and with work- you might think you need more money, but consider the price of child care- until age 2 it is outrageously expensive and may not justify a full time job because of that cost.
People love to tell you how terrible things will be once the baby comes when you're pregnant.
Think of the cost of daycare and having to not spend time with her 😕
