I agree that as a pregnant women you get to be a bit selfish, but keeping your pregnancy secret was in no way selfish, your own comfort is NOT selfish.
Fun fact: Brandon actually said he was going to name his son Jameson Mercury Farris when Brandon and Angel filmed the birth simulator video. Foreshadowing!! It’s an amazing story to hear how the name came about.
It honestly bothers me so much that Gloria has to constantly emphasize that she SHOULD NOT have to tell ANYONE about HER personal life that she DOES NOT know. Because these “fans” feel that entitled. She’s a human being and we are watching her through a phone. She DOES NOT owe us anything! It’s her life. She’s not here to share her personal business. I can’t believe people really can’t comprehend that 😪
agreed 100% this goes for anyone.....ANY ONE......every one of your lives are private and it is up to you and you alone whether you share that with others. the amount of disrespect "fans" or media have for "famous people" or "influencers" is just sick. would you like someone shoving a camera in your face basically 24/7 without your consent, or making demands of you that make you uncomfortable? think about how you would feel in that situation and if you say no, then why the hell do you think they enjoy it or want it? even if they vlog or have a lot of their life online, it's still their life and it is their choice what they share with others. you have no say in what someone says or does with their life.
I agree, and we thank her for sharing with us now about what's going on and also have you seen the video introducing Jamason to us. I cried cause it was beautiful.
Girl, I feel you on the keeping pregnancies a secret. I've had 3 miscarriages and I had a friend ask me when I would feel comfortable with sharing that I was pregnant. I responded with after the birth, only after I have held my child would I feel like it's safe to share the news.
I recall your Q&A last year when you stated you would not share your pregnancies on social media. I was not surprised nor upset when you did share your pregnancy. I am more surprised that others have gotten upset
You owe no one a reason, response. Those who say "they cut your check", then they need to unsubscribe. You are entitled to privacy and enjoying your pregnancy with your family. Not having ppl tell you when where and how. You made the right choice for yourself, and Autumn and Brandon. God bless.
How are you so wise at such a young age? I’m in my 50s and it took me almost 45 years to learn what you are preaching in this video. Yay for you! And yay for your perfect family!
I wouldn’t say it was selfish, having healthy boundaries is never a selfish thing. I’m just appreciative of whatever you choose to share especially when its your adorable little family.
I actually disagree, on one hand it could be considered selfish, but taking care of yourself ultimately puts you in better condition to take care of those who are closest to you, so it could also be considered incredibly unselfish.
Hearing how attentive Brandon was to you and Autumn's concerns about being a good big sister has me SOBBING😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I am so glad you did what was right FOR YOU🖤
Currently 13 weeks pregnant and a first time mom. Loved your response about why you kept things private regarding your pregnancy with your sweet boy. Kind of nervous hear the BS when I announce things more publicly. Congratulations to you, Brandon and sweet Autumn! 💛
The fact that people are giving this video a thumbs down, or even getting mad at her choice to keep HER pregnancy to herself, is absolutely baffling to me. She owes us absolutely nothing when it comes to her personal life. I am a subscriber on this channel, a follower of hers on Instagram and FB, but I watch bcuz I LOVE the videos, the pics, the content, tutorials, etc. She is incredibly funny, humble, and relatable. She owes us NOTHING....and being given a glimpse into her personal world is a privilege NOT a right. The fact that people don't grasp that is definitely part of what's wrong in the world today. You do you girl! Your baby boy, and your entire family is absolutely precious! 🥰🥰🥰
Girl, you don’t owe anyone an explanation as to why you kept your pregnancy a secret. I respect people who keep their private lives private. That being said, of course I am here for this story and if you want to share your birth story, I am here for it lol! But I respect that you kept it all off social media!!
I was honestly so delighted by the way you kept it a secret. Seeing the video of your announcement and watching everyone's responses delighted me no end. I showed my coworker (the one who introduced yours and Brandon's videos to me) the announcement video, and she began crying. I got actual goosebumps. I'm nothing but thrilled for the four of you, and I can't wait for the birthing video.
I wasn’t mad about the secret that would be crazy 😂😂 I was SHOCKED because the video came out and it was all these emotions at once and the video ended and I was like Woah😯 but in a good way but I’m happy for you guys ❤️
I was shocked cause they both were able to keep it under wraps the whole time XD And after hearing her explanation, I 100% understand why they choice to keep it private.
Me too. She had already told us that if she were to ever get pregnant she wasn’t going to announce until she felt ready. So anyone who was mad they really need help and focus on themselves
I"m not pregnant ..i done shut my baby making machine down but I love how you say "baby girl you are worth the world" some times an (old compared to you ) lady needs to hear that. Congrats on the new addition and I love you and Brandon and your whole family!!!!!!!!!!
Explaining to your daughter about unconditional love and how her brother is a part of you to leave behind so she is always with you is absolutely wrecking me ❤
Cue the tears on the story about Autumn being scared about being a big sister 😭😭😭😭. I absolutely love that you did what was best for you and kept your pregnancy a secret. 🖤🖤
Keeping this secret was not selfish at all. Your private life is not for public consumption. You don't owe anyone an explanation. If "fans" have left over this they have problems that need to be addressed, but those problems have nothing to do with you. Your family is beautiful and you all deserve the best life has to offer.
I just started the video but just wanted to say this. Honestly it is no one's business why you kept it a secret. Hell, I kept mine with my youngest a secret for 2/3 of my pregnancy from even family because I just wanted to enjoy it since I knew she was going to be my last. You owe no one an explanation and deserve to enjoy it and all the happiness for you and Brandon and your other baby autumn. Love ya always!!
I totally understand Autumns frustrations with not being the baby anymore. I was an only child for 11 years, so let me tell you when I heard I was having a brother I threw more tantrums about it than you can count. But I love my little brother and I’m so happy that I have him. He’s turning 5 in 4 days :)
To answer your question, because you expected Brandon to spill us the tea or come back with a babysitting video again 😂 baby and Autumn feeding him macaroni p2 😭💕 I am actually happy you guys decided to keep it a secret, some people can be absolutely vile.. Especially seeing what RBK and Samantha ravandhal had to go trough, because of their fans criticism. I think deciding to keep the baby "secret" is the most UNSELFISH thing you can do, as you said it's none of our business and nobody can prove me otherwise 😊 Also the way you explained to Autumn she doesn't have to worry made me sob 😭💕💕💕💕💕💕
It didn't piss me off..... When I saw the "reveal" video, I cried...I've seen how much you 3 love each other, and knowing you added another into it made me happy!
I’m actually really glad you guys kept it private, it’s a beautiful experience that only you guys can have so there should be nobody saying anything but love because at the end of the day it’s your life❤️ I’m so incredibly happy and thank you for always being so real✨
The 70 dislikes must be the self entitled people , still they watched just to judge. True ignorance 🤦♀️ Congratulations to your beautiful family! Stay Proud , Stay Strong , Stay Kind 💙
I actually think it's really smart you didn't tell us about Jameson until later on, both for why you said and bc even in the modern day pregnancy is so perilous and can go wrong terribly and you didn't need to have the bad time of informing us on top of whatever could have happened
Thank you for the "because I didn't want it out in the public eye cuz I didn't" I wish people would let others have PERSONAL secrets or have things to themselves! Thank you and Brandon for being those real type of people who don't give in to the "spotlight"!
I honestly never wanted to know when you got pregnant, it's your life, your body and your partner's life. It's not up to us to know everything. I am grateful that you shared with us, we love you :)
This video inspired me to talk with my husband about when we want to announce our pregnancy when we start trying hopefully in a year or two. I now don't feel selfish if I don't announce to the second I know I'm pregnant
Can we just talk about how incredible you are as a person and a mother? You are an inspiration and I always look forward to your talks. You always say the most perfect things.
Am I the only one who thinks she told us without telling us? In one of her videos she made a comment that she probably wouldn't tell us and would just show up one day with a baby. 🤣 Queen Baby Girl, love you, your fam, and your content. I'm happy for you all and wish you nothing but good health and as many happy days as you all can handle. 💜
I knew she was pregnant. No lie. No reason to lie about something like that. Never told anyone and bam I was right. That's crazy but I thought she'd was a tad obvious with certain things like your comment said
👏👏👏👏 when I read the title, my exact reaction was your reason. You want and need a private life. If YOU wanted to tell your followers about your private life, then cool. People do NOT need to know every detail. You are human, and a beautiful soul! Congrats to you and Brandon!
Girl. My kids are 22, 15, and 3. I loved giving my kids their own "me time" so I definitely feel you. My 15 year old is such a great brother and a huge help. So I'm happy I spread them out.
My family and his never did that while I was pregnant, but my husband and I are living at both the grandparents house (mine and his, it's complicated) and I'm getting it from them after the pregnancy. Even my oldest sister started with it as if she was a baby whisperer. Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs, you can't do anything right and I break down a lot. I'm pretty lucky, I've never had depression and never got postpartum depression either, but I can be very sensitive. Since having my daughter (rough, bit she was worth it) I have grown a set of balls in telling people where to stick it once I've had enough. I love having advice, and let me make my decisions, but don't tell me the best way to raise my kid. 🤷🏻♀️
It breaks my heart that it's 2021 and people are upset that a woman kept a pregnancy secret. Mom of 5 here, you absolutely get to choose how you do your pregnancy. Love you Maria Gloria!!
My daughter is pregnant right now and she hasn’t said a word on social media or to most people in her life. It’s my first grand baby and I want to tell everyone but I’m respecting her decision it’s killing me but I’m keeping my big mouth shut lol! I had no idea people were that rude to ask things like that crazy! I wouldn’t want to tell either! Anyway congratulations!!!
Honestly you don't have to answer to anyone (You know this ) - the joy I felt when I seen your guys video of welcoming Jameson into the world I cant put into words. I cried! it was so beautiful and made it that much more special! also I love that he was born on my birthday :) Love you, Brandon, Autumn and now Jameson as well! you guys never fail to make me smile!
I cried too ! So beautiful and to share how u did was amazing .. glad we could be part of it ❤ Having a baby is a huge and personal thing .. personal .. those people have no god dam right to do that to anyone. Loved the comment she made about bxt time we go to a fast food restaurant .. class !! We love you and ur family hun .. u don't have to explain anything. Sending you love and hugs hunni xxx
This woman speaks to my mom soul! Every point she had about keeping certain things private even with family is so true. I learned it the hard way with my sister in law.
To those who feel like it is their business because they help “cut your checks” I say to you. Imagine your supervisor coming up to you and asking you when the last time you had sex with your significant other and if or when you’re getting pregnant or having a baby… are you comfortable with that? Do you feel like that is your bosses business?… probably not… so if you don’t feel like your boss is entitled to that information then don’t ask someone else. Maria, Brandon, Autumn, and Jameson ♥️♥️ you all you’re amazing!
You are awesome. I am pregnant right now and am going through some drama and what you said at around 14 minutes to 14:15 just struck a chord with me. Like I started crying it hit so deep.
It’s not selfish at all! I think any woman who has ever been pregnant can completely relate to the bullshit comments and unsolicited advice. You don’t owe us anything. I am so grateful for what you do share because I love seeing your happiness and your beautiful family. ❤️
Dont ever apologise for keeping something so massive to yourself! Also let your babies have their privacy as well! Everything on here is forever so let them keep things private if thats is what they want! There will always be selfish and toxic people that can't see why you wouldn't share it with everyone and they need to back right off! Enjoy having special moments as a family girl!
Honestly I don’t understand the entitlement people have. It doesn’t matter if we knew you personally and lived in the same home as you. ITS NO ONES BUSINESS! I actually loved the surprise of baby Jameson
I had two babies that we didn’t tell anyone about until after. After such a bad time being pregnant with our first, we literally told less than 10 people about our second. That includes not telling any family. My stress levels were so much lower and I had a toddler and it was a pandemic! I get it. And im not a public figure. You and your family make the best decisions for yall and dont apologize for it. 💜🖤💛🤍
Omg. I literally bawled my eyes out when you talked about your gift to Autumn 😩 && baby girl, I completely agree! Make sure you’re at peace! You shouldn’t have to give any explanation about your pregnancy.
You don't have to explain why you kept your pregnancy a secret from us :) we completely understand why you did it and we are not mad at all :) keep being amazing girl! And congrats on your adorable little baby boy once again! Have the best day ever 💜🖤
Baby girl you didn't owe us anything! We're so happy for you and Brandon and super thankful that you and baby boy are healthy. ❤ I genuinely appreciate hearing your why (for my own future baby bearing) even though you you didn't have to share.
When my friend got pregnant, I saw on her FB page exactly how rude and entitled and just freaking nasty people can and will be about pregnancy. I knew right away when you announced the birth why you'd kept it quiet. People are nosy and invasive and awful. The last thing you need when you're growing a whole ass baby in your belly and have physical discomfort 24/7, as well as fluctuating hormones.
When I was pregnant with my second child I was obsessed with mint I had a vapo stick at all times and had to brush my teeth more times in a day than I ever knew possible. But also what came with the craving was the need for the feeling of foam like the most foam weather toothpaste or soap or cleaning products I had to have and feel all the foam. Never had whiter teeth or a cleaner home.. kinda cool to hear someone else was addicted to mint while pregnant.
I’m just in awww how y’all kept it a secret and it didn’t get leaked out, It’s your personal life you don’t owe anybody anything. I understand why you did it. Happy for y’all
Baby girl, I 100% understand and support your decision to keep your pregnancy to close family and friends. I found your video documenting your whole pregnancy absolutely beautiful and amazing to watch. Also, your Instagram over this past year has been genius! I didn't suspect a thing!
First of all to anyone who was mad she didn’t tell you about her pregnancy shame on you to even think you have the power over someone. Regardless of someone’s profession they have the right to share as much or as little as they want about their lives. Your reasoning as to why you chose to keep your pregnancy quiet made so much sense to me. I wouldn’t have thought about that but yes people,can be so judgmental stranger or family. You did what’s best for you and that’s amazing Ps my husband walked into the room just as you said penis partner. He stopped and was like what are you watching lol
I completely understand why you kept it secret. Would I have loved baby vlogs? Sure. But that’s not something you have to do. I can get that content elsewhere from someone who wants it public, and still have you for why I came to your channel. For you, and because you’re funny af. You deserve your privacy. If you want to disclose information, cool! I’d love to hear it! If not, can’t wait to see the next makeup tutorial 💜🖤
You dont have to tell us shit. Its not our business. Its our job tk respect you and your privacy. Its amazing that you already share so much with us. Love you gurl. You do you. Im just here to enjoy.
I was curious why too but to be honest since my miscarriage it's hard to watch RUclipsrs that talk about nothing but pregnancy I understand why they do its exciting but I have to back off for my own peace. I totally understand ur reasoning for keeping it to yourself it's very special and it is such a hard time for women. So glad you have a healthy baby!!!
Ah yes the entitlement. I HAD a friend who didn't have kids, nor a relationship, but told me I was a bad mom because I couldn't breastfeed. Uh, what?! I could of put him to my boob, but the poor thing would of Starved. Soooooo, yeah I chose to keep him alive with a bottle.
My aunt and uncle used to try and tell my parents how to raise me and my siblings. My parents were always polite, but annoyed because their like, “honey when you have kids, come talk to us about how to parent…” they have a kid now and he’s almost 6. And his moms a total helicopter mom, won’t let him do anything where he gets dirty at all, and she doesn’t like her husbands side of the family at all (which her husband is my moms brother so she hates my side of the family.) but yeah it pissed my parents off, when they didn’t have a kid and we’re trying to tell them how to parent. Like so what if my parents child eats dirt or a bug once in awhile, it builds immunity to shit and they learn not to do it because it tastes gross.
@@farrahfarmer9287 the boob brigade. They are the worst. I sat there in a chair forever on the pump....oh keep trying it will come. Nope not even an ounce.
@@jenwin0205 my milk didn't come in until day 3 or 4 after having her! I told them she wasnt getting anything cuz she wasnt swallowing. And was losing weight. Well apparently your milk dont always come in right away, especially with a c section like i had.
I just read a book describing how to set boundaries and when boundaries become selfish, and when selfishness is allowed. whenever it comes down to your body, it’s always good to be more selfish and set more boundaries, than to stay relax and let people infiltrate your mind with negativity. When you came forwarded with your pregnancy, and baby, I was so excited. Because that was on your terms, not on anyone else’s. And having that power to be able to make that decision when you were most comfortable shows how much you love your mindset, Brandon’s mindset, and even Autumns mindset. And how much you ultimately love your entire family. And from my point of view, that’s the biggest power move you can ever do.
Not me ballin my eyes when you said about leaving this world one day, and thinking that my daughter might never have a sibling, she is already 13 yrs old and we have been trying for 5 yrs and nothing and its scares the crap out of me that she will be alone in the world one day😭😭😭😭
I'm the oldest of two siblings, my parents tried for me for 7 years and had just about given up, then ended up with 2 suprise babies in the next 5 years. Don't give up hope ❤
Thank you so much for this video and your words. I’m already a very nervous and anxious person and the thought of one day becoming a first time mom really triggers and scares me. If it happens, yes I would love to share the news with our families but at the same time I know I’ll have to work double time to look after my mental health. Especially with all the unsolicited advice and judgmental remarks that may happen from both my family and my husband’s family! Now I feel more confident that when we decide to become pregnant I don’t owe anyone anything… it’ll be my body, my pregnancy and I know I’ll have my husband’s love and support when it happens. Thank you!
I’m so happy for you and Brandon. You do you, your pregnancy so if keeping it a secret was what you wanted then so be it. It was an awesome surprise and I couldn’t be happier for you. Funny story, after Brandon broke the secret I was so excited! Jameson is sooo cute! Made me want another lol…then like a week after I found out I was pregnant 😂 not planned but still happy. ❤️
Despite this not being your usual content, this is my favorite video by you so far. Not only is your love for your family so evident in this video, but you are so well spoken and real. I really appreciate it. I give you major props snd respect for being able to keep your pregnancy private, that isn’t easy especially in your position. Love you always ❤️❤️
Love that you kept you your family growing secret... it's nobody's business but your own family. I'm actually happy you got to enjoy it without the world picking your pregnancy apart! Thrilled to hear about your new little man.
My oldest daughter’s last name is Jameson!😍 Edit: I let my oldest name my youngest! She chose Rylie! Rylie was born April 30! Dues date May 5! I love this soo much!
(I’m a pretty new viewer to your channel, I don’t watch much makeup content, but) Even if I don’t know exactly what’s going on in your life, I still support you and want the best for you and your family. I’m glad you and Brandon were on the same page with keeping your pregnancy private, and I’m grateful for the joy you’ve shared with us. 💕 (I did actually feel better, though, when I found out y’all hadn’t been talking about the pregnancy - when Brandon announced y’all’d had a baby, I was like, “HOW’D I MISS THAT??” 😂 I felt like a bad subscriber! 🤣)
Yesss. An only fans would be incredible to talk about stuff that gets demonitized here on RUclips. I think you have a platform that is widely appreciated, and would love to connect on a deeper level. Or even Patrion??? I love your videos. This was amazing. Thank you💖💖💖
I was so surprised you kept it a secret I remember my jaw dropping, but as a mom ..I totally understood and would never ask why. y'all are amazing and im glad ive got to see you both grow and your family . congrats and welcome Jameson mercury Farris
It's actually called pica it's the need or want to eat things you're not supposed to usually caused by low iron. I had it with my twins but I craved ice. I would literally go through a 5lb bag of ice a day! It's now been very close to 15 years since I had my twins and I still eat ice like crazy but I'm also anemic.
@@laideehart2070 I had to laugh at this, my husband did the same thing! I think it makes something like 40+ lbs of ice a day. At this point I think it somehow helps my anxiety not sure why it helps but it does.
@@kittyct1829 100%! I still chew ice and my baby is 9mos now. It's helps, but I find myself taking extra care of my teeth because chewing so much ice can be hard on them. Lol Honestly though, my favorite is the nugget ice. The superior ice. *chef's kiss*
I didn’t care why she did hide it for long because I was so incredibly happy because she just had a baby and I genuinely care about Maria. I was more surprised because I didn’t notice and realized or even guess. The only thing that made me sad was Brandon slowed down the making of his videos because I didn’t know. I’m still happy for her :))
We kept my last pregnancy to ourselves. Only a hand full of people knew like my mom and my sisters. The in-laws where upset we didn’t tell them we where pregnant but we don’t have a good relationship with them so we didn’t feel like they needed to know. It was easy to keep it to ourselves because I was about 4 months pregnant before the whole COVID lockdown and stuff so we stayed home all the time.
I know you were primarily referring to pregnancy with doing whatever you feel necessary for your health but I felt that on a polar opposite situation. I'm grieving and have certain people in my life that don't seem to want to let me handle it in the way that best fits me. I loved hearing your story! You don't need my validation but I'm happy for you being able to handle your pregnancy in the manor of your choosing. Congratulation on your baby boy!
Your explanation about why you kept your pregnancy to yourself makes so much sense! Thank you for explaining that! I have never been pregnant so I guess I didn’t realize how invasive people could get. I’m so sorry! Thank you for putting that out for everyone. So happy for you guys! Your both so awesome!!
The question of “why did she keep her pregnancy a secret :(“ BOTHERS me so much I find that so rude! its HER baby HER body and HER decision!! she doesn’t have to share her private life. I love both you and Brandon, Autumn, and Jameson!! ♥️♥️
I felt this so much... I’m currently pregnant with my 3rd child & I haven’t told my in laws because I don’t want the stress of being judged due to the fact that I’m having my babies back to back. You have the right to keep your personal life PERSONAL.
Girl. YES!!! I did the same exact thing with my last pregnancy and it was SO amazing. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat! I only told those who were in the “need to know” status, kept everything off social media, and just enjoyed my pregnancy so much more than any of my others. I love that you said, “if it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive,” because that is SO TRUE and something that we don’t consider enough, especially as women. As soon as I saw that you had a baby and realized you didn’t even announce a pregnancy, I knew exactly why you did it. Little side note: my middle child is 7 years older than the baby and it’s been PERFECTION! She is *such* an amazing big sister and I contribute it to her being able to have her time as the baby for so long. So I just know Autumn will come into her own as the big sister and be so so wonderful with Jameson ❤️ Congratulations again and please don’t feel obligated to share anything you’re not 100% comfortable with! You deserve all the privacy you desire despite having a large audience. People aren’t entitled to know every detail of your life and you deserve to keep things as personal and private as you want.
With my youngest (I now have 3 total), my SIL and I were pregnant at the same time. We decided together that we weren't going to announce our pregnancies publicly until we were ready. Around 4-5 months was when we took the plunge and spilled the news. It was weird not sharing bump updates and whatnot, but the people that needed to know or see, we literally saw so frequently, the rest of the world didn't need to know. It was different, but a total breath of fresh air. Good for you keeping it to yourself! I'm so happy that it worked out so well for you, and proud of you for taking a stance against the "norm".
I was just surprised and excited!! I completely agree with everything you said. It’s our body, our baby, our experience and we don’t have to share it. Congratulations to you all and many blessings 💙
You are so right about people giving all their unsolicited advice. I can only imagine how much more (and how negative) it is over the internet, especially with the following that you and Brandon have. You gotta do what is right for you and your family. I am just so thrilled to see his precious face in the pictures you guys post and his little cameos in your videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Y’all are amazing and totally crushing this parenting thing 🥰🥰
When I didn't think it was possible to love you more BOOM you get me, and make a most relatable video. Support you, love you, admire you, tell em sis 👏♡
Craving mint (or ice) is a common symptom of iron deficiency. Just something to be aware of and have your doctor check on if it happens in the future. :) (I work in health care.)
Proud of you for doing what was best for your mental and physical health. You didn’t owe anyone an explanation, but your explanation was inspiring. There are so many women that needed your words of encouragement to keep their pregnancy secret if that’s what they want to do. And don’t get me started on the people who need to be put into their place and remember that they are not entitled to the inner workings of your life.
BRO, IM A LIBRA TOO!! I love Autumn so much and when you talked about how she was overwhelmed and how he’ll love her unconditionally I started to cry. So sweet..
You didn't have to share anything with anyone, but I'm happy you share what you do. It makes me feel closer to you and understanding you. Congratulations on the baby!
This video has given me some cold hard truths. I will be saving this video because there is so many inspiring things within it that I can take away from it and help me a little bit mentally also. I also LOVE how you are with Autumn but not only yourself, Brandon also. I love that he treats her as if she is his own. I love that when I watch his videos he is pretty much always mentioning her ❤
I love this! Realizing that you don’t owe anyone an explanation on your decisions is a freeing moment! I realized this at 28, during my divorce. It’s made my 30’s a lot happier than my 20’s!
I agree that as a pregnant women you get to be a bit selfish, but keeping your pregnancy secret was in no way selfish, your own comfort is NOT selfish.
Fun fact:
Brandon actually said he was going to name his son Jameson Mercury Farris when Brandon and Angel filmed the birth simulator video. Foreshadowing!!
It’s an amazing story to hear how the name came about.
I was thinking this and looking to see if anyone had commented it. Thank youuuuuuuu for remembering as well
Wait, I remember him referencing the name in the video with Angel, but where can I find the story about it?
@@kelvinbloxham4324 in this video she does say how the name came about if that's what you are asking
exactly, so i dont know why she's saying autumn picked the middle name when brandon's wanted it all these years?
@@kellylr-v7i i assume he picked the name up from her maybe
It honestly bothers me so much that Gloria has to constantly emphasize that she SHOULD NOT have to tell ANYONE about HER personal life that she DOES NOT know. Because these “fans” feel that entitled. She’s a human being and we are watching her through a phone. She DOES NOT owe us anything! It’s her life. She’s not here to share her personal business. I can’t believe people really can’t comprehend that 😪
Me neither. ☹️
Well said ❤️
I completely agree
agreed 100%
this goes for anyone.....ANY ONE......every one of your lives are private and it is up to you and you alone whether you share that with others. the amount of disrespect "fans" or media have for "famous people" or "influencers" is just sick. would you like someone shoving a camera in your face basically 24/7 without your consent, or making demands of you that make you uncomfortable? think about how you would feel in that situation and if you say no, then why the hell do you think they enjoy it or want it? even if they vlog or have a lot of their life online, it's still their life and it is their choice what they share with others. you have no say in what someone says or does with their life.
I agree, and we thank her for sharing with us now about what's going on and also have you seen the video introducing Jamason to us. I cried cause it was beautiful.
"If anything is costing you your peace, it's way too expensive." 🙌🏻 Something I hope to remember!
You keeping your pregnancy to yourself is honestly inspiring with the way the world is today, congrats to you and your family! ❤️
This💙💙
Agreed 100% Keeping your whole pregnancy a secret especially while being a RUclipsr is so fucking brave, you are an absolute queen
100% Queen I’m with you all the way 🥰🥰
Girl, I feel you on the keeping pregnancies a secret. I've had 3 miscarriages and I had a friend ask me when I would feel comfortable with sharing that I was pregnant. I responded with after the birth, only after I have held my child would I feel like it's safe to share the news.
WE RESPECT YOUR CHOICE AND LOVE YOUUUUUU NO MATTER WHAT
“Should I start an only fans” my brain only if Brandon does one first
I recall your Q&A last year when you stated you would not share your pregnancies on social media. I was not surprised nor upset when you did share your pregnancy. I am more surprised that others have gotten upset
Did anybody else start tearing up When she started talking about how Brandon cried twice? I know I did I'm so happy For you and your family
You owe no one a reason, response. Those who say "they cut your check", then they need to unsubscribe. You are entitled to privacy and enjoying your pregnancy with your family. Not having ppl tell you when where and how. You made the right choice for yourself, and Autumn and Brandon. God bless.
No doubt the dislikes came from them lol
How are you so wise at such a young age? I’m in my 50s and it took me almost 45 years to learn what you are preaching in this video. Yay for you! And yay for your perfect family!
I wouldn’t say it was selfish, having healthy boundaries is never a selfish thing. I’m just appreciative of whatever you choose to share especially when its your adorable little family.
Well, it is selfish. It's literally looking out for no one but YOURSELF. But being selfish isn't bad! We need to normalize putting yourself first!
I actually disagree, on one hand it could be considered selfish, but taking care of yourself ultimately puts you in better condition to take care of those who are closest to you, so it could also be considered incredibly unselfish.
Kudos for bringing in healthy boundaries to the commentary. Too few have them.
Hearing how attentive Brandon was to you and Autumn's concerns about being a good big sister has me SOBBING😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so glad you did what was right FOR YOU🖤
You don't even have to explain yourself. And yes! Birth story! I'm just happy everything worked out so well for yall! Much love!! 🥰🥰
Currently 13 weeks pregnant and a first time mom. Loved your response about why you kept things private regarding your pregnancy with your sweet boy. Kind of nervous hear the BS when I announce things more publicly. Congratulations to you, Brandon and sweet Autumn! 💛
The fact that people are giving this video a thumbs down, or even getting mad at her choice to keep HER pregnancy to herself, is absolutely baffling to me. She owes us absolutely nothing when it comes to her personal life. I am a subscriber on this channel, a follower of hers on Instagram and FB, but I watch bcuz I LOVE the videos, the pics, the content, tutorials, etc. She is incredibly funny, humble, and relatable. She owes us NOTHING....and being given a glimpse into her personal world is a privilege NOT a right. The fact that people don't grasp that is definitely part of what's wrong in the world today.
You do you girl! Your baby boy, and your entire family is absolutely precious! 🥰🥰🥰
“This is the gift we’re going to leave to you” why am bawling 😭😭😭
Same 😭
Omfg same. I kinda lost it at that for several personal reasons
Girl, you don’t owe anyone an explanation as to why you kept your pregnancy a secret. I respect people who keep their private lives private.
That being said, of course I am here for this story and if you want to share your birth story, I am here for it lol! But I respect that you kept it all off social media!!
Agreed, well said
Exactly what I wanted to say.
I was honestly so delighted by the way you kept it a secret. Seeing the video of your announcement and watching everyone's responses delighted me no end. I showed my coworker (the one who introduced yours and Brandon's videos to me) the announcement video, and she began crying. I got actual goosebumps. I'm nothing but thrilled for the four of you, and I can't wait for the birthing video.
I wasn’t mad about the secret that would be crazy 😂😂 I was SHOCKED because the video came out and it was all these emotions at once and the video ended and I was like Woah😯 but in a good way but I’m happy for you guys ❤️
Sameee
I thought it was just a pregnancy announcement but it kept going 😂
I was shocked cause they both were able to keep it under wraps the whole time XD
And after hearing her explanation, I 100% understand why they choice to keep it private.
@@Dianasaucedoable me too 😂😂
Me too. She had already told us that if she were to ever get pregnant she wasn’t going to announce until she felt ready. So anyone who was mad they really need help and focus on themselves
I"m not pregnant ..i done shut my baby making machine down but I love how you say "baby girl you are worth the world" some times an (old compared to you ) lady needs to hear that. Congrats on the new addition and I love you and Brandon and your whole family!!!!!!!!!!
Your reasons is the exactly why I’m glad social media wasn’t a thing during my pregnancies.
Me too 😊
Explaining to your daughter about unconditional love and how her brother is a part of you to leave behind so she is always with you is absolutely wrecking me ❤
I see you Autumn Jamison and Brandon having nothing but a extremely blessed life....... and you deserve it!
Cue the tears on the story about Autumn being scared about being a big sister 😭😭😭😭. I absolutely love that you did what was best for you and kept your pregnancy a secret. 🖤🖤
Keeping this secret was not selfish at all. Your private life is not for public consumption. You don't owe anyone an explanation. If "fans" have left over this they have problems that need to be addressed, but those problems have nothing to do with you. Your family is beautiful and you all deserve the best life has to offer.
I just started the video but just wanted to say this. Honestly it is no one's business why you kept it a secret. Hell, I kept mine with my youngest a secret for 2/3 of my pregnancy from even family because I just wanted to enjoy it since I knew she was going to be my last. You owe no one an explanation and deserve to enjoy it and all the happiness for you and Brandon and your other baby autumn. Love ya always!!
I totally understand Autumns frustrations with not being the baby anymore. I was an only child for 11 years, so let me tell you when I heard I was having a brother I threw more tantrums about it than you can count. But I love my little brother and I’m so happy that I have him. He’s turning 5 in 4 days :)
I love this comment more than words can say thank you 🥺
To answer your question, because you expected Brandon to spill us the tea or come back with a babysitting video again 😂 baby and Autumn feeding him macaroni p2 😭💕
I am actually happy you guys decided to keep it a secret, some people can be absolutely vile.. Especially seeing what RBK and Samantha ravandhal had to go trough, because of their fans criticism. I think deciding to keep the baby "secret" is the most UNSELFISH thing you can do, as you said it's none of our business and nobody can prove me otherwise 😊
Also the way you explained to Autumn she doesn't have to worry made me sob 😭💕💕💕💕💕💕
It didn't piss me off..... When I saw the "reveal" video, I cried...I've seen how much you 3 love each other, and knowing you added another into it made me happy!
I’m actually really glad you guys kept it private, it’s a beautiful experience that only you guys can have so there should be nobody saying anything but love because at the end of the day it’s your life❤️ I’m so incredibly happy and thank you for always being so real✨
The 70 dislikes must be the self entitled people , still they watched just to judge. True ignorance 🤦♀️
Congratulations to your beautiful family!
Stay Proud , Stay Strong , Stay Kind
💙
I actually think it's really smart you didn't tell us about Jameson until later on, both for why you said and bc even in the modern day pregnancy is so perilous and can go wrong terribly and you didn't need to have the bad time of informing us on top of whatever could have happened
Thank you for the "because I didn't want it out in the public eye cuz I didn't" I wish people would let others have PERSONAL secrets or have things to themselves! Thank you and Brandon for being those real type of people who don't give in to the "spotlight"!
I honestly never wanted to know when you got pregnant, it's your life, your body and your partner's life. It's not up to us to know everything. I am grateful that you shared with us, we love you :)
This video inspired me to talk with my husband about when we want to announce our pregnancy when we start trying hopefully in a year or two. I now don't feel selfish if I don't announce to the second I know I'm pregnant
You kept the baby a secret cause it’s YOUR baby. Please don’t justify your actions. You don’t have to. Do what you gotta do mama!
Can we just talk about how incredible you are as a person and a mother? You are an inspiration and I always look forward to your talks. You always say the most perfect things.
Am I the only one who thinks she told us without telling us? In one of her videos she made a comment that she probably wouldn't tell us and would just show up one day with a baby. 🤣
Queen Baby Girl, love you, your fam, and your content. I'm happy for you all and wish you nothing but good health and as many happy days as you all can handle. 💜
I knew she was pregnant. No lie. No reason to lie about something like that. Never told anyone and bam I was right. That's crazy but I thought she'd was a tad obvious with certain things like your comment said
👏👏👏👏 when I read the title, my exact reaction was your reason. You want and need a private life. If YOU wanted to tell your followers about your private life, then cool. People do NOT need to know every detail. You are human, and a beautiful soul! Congrats to you and Brandon!
Girl. My kids are 22, 15, and 3. I loved giving my kids their own "me time" so I definitely feel you. My 15 year old is such a great brother and a huge help. So I'm happy I spread them out.
My sister is 12 years younger than myself I am glad our mom spread us out. We have the strongest bond.
@@ers_00 that is awesome. So do my boys. My 15 year old is the best big brother. Bet your parents are proud of you xx
My family and his never did that while I was pregnant, but my husband and I are living at both the grandparents house (mine and his, it's complicated) and I'm getting it from them after the pregnancy. Even my oldest sister started with it as if she was a baby whisperer. Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs, you can't do anything right and I break down a lot.
I'm pretty lucky, I've never had depression and never got postpartum depression either, but I can be very sensitive. Since having my daughter (rough, bit she was worth it) I have grown a set of balls in telling people where to stick it once I've had enough. I love having advice, and let me make my decisions, but don't tell me the best way to raise my kid. 🤷🏻♀️
It breaks my heart that it's 2021 and people are upset that a woman kept a pregnancy secret. Mom of 5 here, you absolutely get to choose how you do your pregnancy. Love you Maria Gloria!!
My daughter is pregnant right now and she hasn’t said a word on social media or to most people in her life. It’s my first grand baby and I want to tell everyone but I’m respecting her decision it’s killing me but I’m keeping my big mouth shut lol! I had no idea people were that rude to ask things like that crazy! I wouldn’t want to tell either! Anyway congratulations!!!
Honestly you don't have to answer to anyone (You know this ) - the joy I felt when I seen your guys video of welcoming Jameson into the world I cant put into words. I cried! it was so beautiful and made it that much more special! also I love that he was born on my birthday :) Love you, Brandon, Autumn and now Jameson as well! you guys never fail to make me smile!
I cried too ! So beautiful and to share how u did was amazing .. glad we could be part of it ❤
Having a baby is a huge and personal thing .. personal .. those people have no god dam right to do that to anyone. Loved the comment she made about bxt time we go to a fast food restaurant .. class !! We love you and ur family hun .. u don't have to explain anything. Sending you love and hugs hunni xxx
This woman speaks to my mom soul! Every point she had about keeping certain things private even with family is so true. I learned it the hard way with my sister in law.
To those who feel like it is their business because they help “cut your checks” I say to you. Imagine your supervisor coming up to you and asking you when the last time you had sex with your significant other and if or when you’re getting pregnant or having a baby… are you comfortable with that? Do you feel like that is your bosses business?… probably not… so if you don’t feel like your boss is entitled to that information then don’t ask someone else.
Maria, Brandon, Autumn, and Jameson ♥️♥️ you all you’re amazing!
You are awesome. I am pregnant right now and am going through some drama and what you said at around 14 minutes to 14:15 just struck a chord with me. Like I started crying it hit so deep.
I love how she said she's giving her kids seven years. I love numbers and their meanings and 7 is the number of completion and perfection😍
Awe I bet your labor was so beautiful 💜 I knew Brandon was gonna be an amazing dad/ labor partner just by how amazing he is with Autumn 💜
It’s not selfish at all! I think any woman who has ever been pregnant can completely relate to the bullshit comments and unsolicited advice. You don’t owe us anything. I am so grateful for what you do share because I love seeing your happiness and your beautiful family. ❤️
Dont ever apologise for keeping something so massive to yourself! Also let your babies have their privacy as well! Everything on here is forever so let them keep things private if thats is what they want!
There will always be selfish and toxic people that can't see why you wouldn't share it with everyone and they need to back right off!
Enjoy having special moments as a family girl!
Honestly I don’t understand the entitlement people have. It doesn’t matter if we knew you personally and lived in the same home as you. ITS NO ONES BUSINESS! I actually loved the surprise of baby Jameson
I had two babies that we didn’t tell anyone about until after. After such a bad time being pregnant with our first, we literally told less than 10 people about our second. That includes not telling any family. My stress levels were so much lower and I had a toddler and it was a pandemic! I get it. And im not a public figure. You and your family make the best decisions for yall and dont apologize for it. 💜🖤💛🤍
Omg. I literally bawled my eyes out when you talked about your gift to Autumn 😩
&& baby girl, I completely agree! Make sure you’re at peace! You shouldn’t have to give any explanation about your pregnancy.
You don't have to explain why you kept your pregnancy a secret from us :) we completely understand why you did it and we are not mad at all :) keep being amazing girl! And congrats on your adorable little baby boy once again! Have the best day ever 💜🖤
Baby girl you didn't owe us anything! We're so happy for you and Brandon and super thankful that you and baby boy are healthy. ❤ I genuinely appreciate hearing your why (for my own future baby bearing) even though you you didn't have to share.
When my friend got pregnant, I saw on her FB page exactly how rude and entitled and just freaking nasty people can and will be about pregnancy. I knew right away when you announced the birth why you'd kept it quiet. People are nosy and invasive and awful. The last thing you need when you're growing a whole ass baby in your belly and have physical discomfort 24/7, as well as fluctuating hormones.
They really are assholes...
When I was pregnant with my second child I was obsessed with mint I had a vapo stick at all times and had to brush my teeth more times in a day than I ever knew possible. But also what came with the craving was the need for the feeling of foam like the most foam weather toothpaste or soap or cleaning products I had to have and feel all the foam. Never had whiter teeth or a cleaner home.. kinda cool to hear someone else was addicted to mint while pregnant.
I’m just in awww how y’all kept it a secret and it didn’t get leaked out, It’s your personal life you don’t owe anybody anything. I understand why you did it. Happy for y’all
Baby girl, I 100% understand and support your decision to keep your pregnancy to close family and friends. I found your video documenting your whole pregnancy absolutely beautiful and amazing to watch. Also, your Instagram over this past year has been genius! I didn't suspect a thing!
First of all to anyone who was mad she didn’t tell you about her pregnancy shame on you to even think you have the power over someone. Regardless of someone’s profession they have the right to share as much or as little as they want about their lives. Your reasoning as to why you chose to keep your pregnancy quiet made so much sense to me. I wouldn’t have thought about that but yes people,can be so judgmental stranger or family. You did what’s best for you and that’s amazing
Ps my husband walked into the room just as you said penis partner. He stopped and was like what are you watching lol
I completely understand why you kept it secret. Would I have loved baby vlogs? Sure. But that’s not something you have to do. I can get that content elsewhere from someone who wants it public, and still have you for why I came to your channel. For you, and because you’re funny af. You deserve your privacy. If you want to disclose information, cool! I’d love to hear it! If not, can’t wait to see the next makeup tutorial 💜🖤
You dont have to tell us shit. Its not our business. Its our job tk respect you and your privacy. Its amazing that you already share so much with us. Love you gurl. You do you. Im just here to enjoy.
I was curious why too but to be honest since my miscarriage it's hard to watch RUclipsrs that talk about nothing but pregnancy I understand why they do its exciting but I have to back off for my own peace. I totally understand ur reasoning for keeping it to yourself it's very special and it is such a hard time for women. So glad you have a healthy baby!!!
Ah yes the entitlement. I HAD a friend who didn't have kids, nor a relationship, but told me I was a bad mom because I couldn't breastfeed.
Uh, what?! I could of put him to my boob, but the poor thing would of Starved. Soooooo, yeah I chose to keep him alive with a bottle.
My aunt and uncle used to try and tell my parents how to raise me and my siblings. My parents were always polite, but annoyed because their like, “honey when you have kids, come talk to us about how to parent…” they have a kid now and he’s almost 6. And his moms a total helicopter mom, won’t let him do anything where he gets dirty at all, and she doesn’t like her husbands side of the family at all (which her husband is my moms brother so she hates my side of the family.) but yeah it pissed my parents off, when they didn’t have a kid and we’re trying to tell them how to parent. Like so what if my parents child eats dirt or a bug once in awhile, it builds immunity to shit and they learn not to do it because it tastes gross.
Yeah I got bullied by a nurse in the hospital the night and next day I had my little one cause I didn't produce milk.
@@farrahfarmer9287 the boob brigade. They are the worst. I sat there in a chair forever on the pump....oh keep trying it will come. Nope not even an ounce.
@@farrahfarmer9287 sorry that happened to you. It's already stressful. Hopefully everything was good with delivery.
@@jenwin0205 my milk didn't come in until day 3 or 4 after having her! I told them she wasnt getting anything cuz she wasnt swallowing. And was losing weight. Well apparently your milk dont always come in right away, especially with a c section like i had.
I just read a book describing how to set boundaries and when boundaries become selfish, and when selfishness is allowed. whenever it comes down to your body, it’s always good to be more selfish and set more boundaries, than to stay relax and let people infiltrate your mind with negativity. When you came forwarded with your pregnancy, and baby, I was so excited. Because that was on your terms, not on anyone else’s. And having that power to be able to make that decision when you were most comfortable shows how much you love your mindset, Brandon’s mindset, and even Autumns mindset. And how much you ultimately love your entire family. And from my point of view, that’s the biggest power move you can ever do.
Not me ballin my eyes when you said about leaving this world one day, and thinking that my daughter might never have a sibling, she is already 13 yrs old and we have been trying for 5 yrs and nothing and its scares the crap out of me that she will be alone in the world one day😭😭😭😭
!!!!!!!sending you pregnancy dust!!!!!!
I'm the oldest of two siblings, my parents tried for me for 7 years and had just about given up, then ended up with 2 suprise babies in the next 5 years. Don't give up hope ❤
My boys almost 17 yrs apart. It’s not too late.
Thank you so much for this video and your words. I’m already a very nervous and anxious person and the thought of one day becoming a first time mom really triggers and scares me. If it happens, yes I would love to share the news with our families but at the same time I know I’ll have to work double time to look after my mental health. Especially with all the unsolicited advice and judgmental remarks that may happen from both my family and my husband’s family! Now I feel more confident that when we decide to become pregnant I don’t owe anyone anything… it’ll be my body, my pregnancy and I know I’ll have my husband’s love and support when it happens. Thank you!
I’m so happy for you and Brandon. You do you, your pregnancy so if keeping it a secret was what you wanted then so be it. It was an awesome surprise and I couldn’t be happier for you. Funny story, after Brandon broke the secret I was so excited! Jameson is sooo cute! Made me want another lol…then like a week after I found out I was pregnant 😂 not planned but still happy. ❤️
Despite this not being your usual content, this is my favorite video by you so far. Not only is your love for your family so evident in this video, but you are so well spoken and real. I really appreciate it.
I give you major props snd respect for being able to keep your pregnancy private, that isn’t easy especially in your position.
Love you always ❤️❤️
When you let us know about having had a pregnancy and baby boy I was like “f&$k yeah!” Good on ya girl. ❤️❤️❤️
Love that you kept you your family growing secret... it's nobody's business but your own family. I'm actually happy you got to enjoy it without the world picking your pregnancy apart! Thrilled to hear about your new little man.
My oldest daughter’s last name is Jameson!😍
Edit: I let my oldest name my youngest! She chose Rylie! Rylie was born April 30! Dues date May 5! I love this soo much!
(I’m a pretty new viewer to your channel, I don’t watch much makeup content, but) Even if I don’t know exactly what’s going on in your life, I still support you and want the best for you and your family.
I’m glad you and Brandon were on the same page with keeping your pregnancy private, and I’m grateful for the joy you’ve shared with us. 💕
(I did actually feel better, though, when I found out y’all hadn’t been talking about the pregnancy - when Brandon announced y’all’d had a baby, I was like, “HOW’D I MISS THAT??” 😂 I felt like a bad subscriber! 🤣)
Yesss. An only fans would be incredible to talk about stuff that gets demonitized here on RUclips. I think you have a platform that is widely appreciated, and would love to connect on a deeper level. Or even Patrion??? I love your videos. This was amazing. Thank you💖💖💖
I was so surprised you kept it a secret I remember my jaw dropping, but as a mom ..I totally understood and would never ask why. y'all are amazing and im glad ive got to see you both grow and your family . congrats and welcome Jameson mercury Farris
"Because I couldn't eat vapor rub"
My strange addiction left the chat.
But damn your breath must have been bussin
It's actually called pica it's the need or want to eat things you're not supposed to usually caused by low iron. I had it with my twins but I craved ice. I would literally go through a 5lb bag of ice a day! It's now been very close to 15 years since I had my twins and I still eat ice like crazy but I'm also anemic.
@@kittyct1829 same!! My husband finally bought me my own ice maker for my side table lmfao!!
@@laideehart2070 I had to laugh at this, my husband did the same thing! I think it makes something like 40+ lbs of ice a day. At this point I think it somehow helps my anxiety not sure why it helps but it does.
@@kittyct1829 100%! I still chew ice and my baby is 9mos now. It's helps, but I find myself taking extra care of my teeth because chewing so much ice can be hard on them. Lol
Honestly though, my favorite is the nugget ice. The superior ice. *chef's kiss*
craving mint can also be anemia... which the iron deficiency is one type of it..
I think the fact that you kept it a secret was just so beautiful! 😍😍😍😍😍😍 You did it the way you wanted and that's what matters. You're amazing!
I didn’t care why she did hide it for long because I was so incredibly happy because she just had a baby and I genuinely care about Maria. I was more surprised because I didn’t notice and realized or even guess. The only thing that made me sad was Brandon slowed down the making of his videos because I didn’t know. I’m still happy for her :))
We kept my last pregnancy to ourselves. Only a hand full of people knew like my mom and my sisters. The in-laws where upset we didn’t tell them we where pregnant but we don’t have a good relationship with them so we didn’t feel like they needed to know. It was easy to keep it to ourselves because I was about 4 months pregnant before the whole COVID lockdown and stuff so we stayed home all the time.
"Should I start an onlyfans?"
Me, not sure if you are serious or not... 😂
I know you were primarily referring to pregnancy with doing whatever you feel necessary for your health but I felt that on a polar opposite situation. I'm grieving and have certain people in my life that don't seem to want to let me handle it in the way that best fits me.
I loved hearing your story! You don't need my validation but I'm happy for you being able to handle your pregnancy in the manor of your choosing. Congratulation on your baby boy!
Girl making me cry talking about Autumn 😭 you're such a great mother and those stupid bitches who are mad can go cause bye B she don't need you.
Your explanation about why you kept your pregnancy to yourself makes so much sense! Thank you for explaining that! I have never been pregnant so I guess I didn’t realize how invasive people could get. I’m so sorry! Thank you for putting that out for everyone. So happy for you guys! Your both so awesome!!
The question of “why did she keep her pregnancy a secret :(“ BOTHERS me so much I find that so rude! its HER baby HER body and HER decision!! she doesn’t have to share her private life. I love both you and Brandon, Autumn, and Jameson!! ♥️♥️
I felt this so much... I’m currently pregnant with my 3rd child & I haven’t told my in laws because I don’t want the stress of being judged due to the fact that I’m having my babies back to back. You have the right to keep your personal life PERSONAL.
A close "friend" of mine got offended by my name choice for MY OWN CHILD! 😅😅😅
Named my kid after myself btw 😅😂😅
Girl. YES!!! I did the same exact thing with my last pregnancy and it was SO amazing. I’d do it all again in a heartbeat! I only told those who were in the “need to know” status, kept everything off social media, and just enjoyed my pregnancy so much more than any of my others. I love that you said, “if it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive,” because that is SO TRUE and something that we don’t consider enough, especially as women. As soon as I saw that you had a baby and realized you didn’t even announce a pregnancy, I knew exactly why you did it.
Little side note: my middle child is 7 years older than the baby and it’s been PERFECTION! She is *such* an amazing big sister and I contribute it to her being able to have her time as the baby for so long. So I just know Autumn will come into her own as the big sister and be so so wonderful with Jameson ❤️
Congratulations again and please don’t feel obligated to share anything you’re not 100% comfortable with! You deserve all the privacy you desire despite having a large audience. People aren’t entitled to know every detail of your life and you deserve to keep things as personal and private as you want.
With my youngest (I now have 3 total), my SIL and I were pregnant at the same time. We decided together that we weren't going to announce our pregnancies publicly until we were ready. Around 4-5 months was when we took the plunge and spilled the news. It was weird not sharing bump updates and whatnot, but the people that needed to know or see, we literally saw so frequently, the rest of the world didn't need to know. It was different, but a total breath of fresh air. Good for you keeping it to yourself! I'm so happy that it worked out so well for you, and proud of you for taking a stance against the "norm".
I was just surprised and excited!! I completely agree with everything you said. It’s our body, our baby, our experience and we don’t have to share it. Congratulations to you all and many blessings 💙
You are so right about people giving all their unsolicited advice. I can only imagine how much more (and how negative) it is over the internet, especially with the following that you and Brandon have. You gotta do what is right for you and your family. I am just so thrilled to see his precious face in the pictures you guys post and his little cameos in your videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Y’all are amazing and totally crushing this parenting thing 🥰🥰
When I didn't think it was possible to love you more BOOM you get me, and make a most relatable video. Support you, love you, admire you, tell em sis 👏♡
Craving mint (or ice) is a common symptom of iron deficiency. Just something to be aware of and have your doctor check on if it happens in the future. :) (I work in health care.)
Proud of you for doing what was best for your mental and physical health. You didn’t owe anyone an explanation, but your explanation was inspiring. There are so many women that needed your words of encouragement to keep their pregnancy secret if that’s what they want to do. And don’t get me started on the people who need to be put into their place and remember that they are not entitled to the inner workings of your life.
BRO, IM A LIBRA TOO!! I love Autumn so much and when you talked about how she was overwhelmed and how he’ll love her unconditionally I started to cry. So sweet..
You didn't have to share anything with anyone, but I'm happy you share what you do. It makes me feel closer to you and understanding you. Congratulations on the baby!
This video has given me some cold hard truths. I will be saving this video because there is so many inspiring things within it that I can take away from it and help me a little bit mentally also.
I also LOVE how you are with Autumn but not only yourself, Brandon also. I love that he treats her as if she is his own. I love that when I watch his videos he is pretty much always mentioning her ❤
I love this! Realizing that you don’t owe anyone an explanation on your decisions is a freeing moment! I realized this at 28, during my divorce. It’s made my 30’s a lot happier than my 20’s!
