i’m still processing you are married AND pregnant. but sis, it’s hard but remember it’s also temporary and you are completely slaying everything. i’m overwhelmed with my wedding and it’s close to my house. i couldn’t do what you do, so you are superwoman.
You know what, if you’d stayed in Arizona, this little boy would have changed your whole routine regardless and the stress would be focused on him. Now when he comes you’ll know what it’s like to be in a bit of chaos and better prepared to deal with it. You’ve got this. Everything happens for a reason 💛💛💛
im so glad your wedding wasn’t any later in your pregnancy so you actually got to enjoy it and didn’t have to deal with potentially feeling super ill bc of 3rd trimester symptoms. your wedding looked incredible! can’t wait for the baby nursery now!
Usually a silent watcher, but just wanted to say… when I found out I was pregnant (4 years ago) we did everything we could to move back where our family was, we downsized and made sacrifices but it was the BEST decision. For us we NEEDED that family support with our baby, everything else falls into place and perspective❤
it's soooo hard after the baby comes. i feel bad for my dogs but my fiancé tries to take them to do stuff as much as possible. it's just SO MUCH WORK taking care of another human... especially one that can't communicate at all :/ (just hit 8 months, it gets easier!! those first 6 months are such a challenge though!)
I started walking my dogs by myself usually my husband does it, but because I’ve felt so bad. I even started cooking them meals and fruit snacks because I don’t want them to feel neglected 😭
@@andreaamezcua5502I’m gonna be able to quit my job to go back to school in two months and I’m so happy to have more time for my sweet dog. I’m just so easily overwhelmed by her crack head behavior when I get home 😭😭
You got this girl! Just wait until he’s born that’ll definitely take the cake for best day of your life, trust me!! Had my baby girl last October and it was seriously so incredible. You’ll really appreciate the help from your family too once baby is born ❤everything else will fall into place!
18:53 girl, you’re not alone in this! I recently moved from Arizona back home to New York in December, and I’ve been having the same doubts. In Arizona I had an amazing gym that I went to tons of freedom, and a routine that I had down packed where everything was going good for me. Since I’ve been back in New York, a lot of factors have made me doubt if I should’ve ever moved back, but hearing you go through the same thing makes me realize that it’s just a part of life. You’ll get that routine back we both will!
It makes sense to me to stay near family during the first year or two so they can help and to get yourselves settled into being parents and then moving back once you've got the hang of everything. I truly could never move back to an apartment after owning, unless it was temporary so I feel you on that sentiment! PLUS, not many people get the opportunity to do what you're doing - move near family when they're having a baby - so try your best to stay in gratitude. There is SO much your elders are going to be able to teach you and that is going to be invaluable to you! See this move as an investment into your future!!!
Hi Lauren! Silent subscriber, but since I'm early I wanted to say thank you so much for making videos! They always brighten my day and today was a hard one so it was needed!
as a native Arizona girlie who has visited Miami and loves both, I totally get what ur saying about AZ being a different vibe. More grounding with all the mountains and open with the roads for sure. Enjoy ur beautiful time in Miami with family ❤ a true gift. Those views from ur apartment are gorgeous and your belly is the cutest
I love the way the apartment has no furniture it’s giving newly wed couple trying to figure everything out take your time with creating your perfect home for your growing family ❤
You have so much shifting in your season of changes. That discomfort is part of it, let it flow by, you can and you do learn so much from each change. I love your perspective in being open to each phase or your life, that perspective is going to serve you so well. ❤
Youre the first youtuber thats so real this pregnancy, no one shows the insecure side, everyone makes it seem so perfect & when i was preg. I felt so guilty for not being 100% with how i looked bc thats all we see on social media. We see you & youre doing great honey!! ❤
every single thing will work out exactly how it’s supposed to. you’re killing it even when you feel like everything is falling apart, take your time and try not to stress you’re amazing! proud of you! 💓
girl i love how synchronous this video feels i’m actually going through the same thing right now but flipped… my man just bought us a home where i went to university (not my hometown) and i’ve been having the same thoughts like damn am i really never gonna get to live around family again? it’s boring here, isolating at times, but then on the other hand we can actually afford to build a life here with a backyard, financial freedom etc etc. like you said, at the end of the day i try to remember that nothing is permanent and i hope we can find the joy in change and new life seasons. lean on your support systems and i guarantee everything will be okay! in a few years we’ll probably look back at this time and realize exactly why we entered this season in this moment🙏🏽 ily
I feel you dude! I moved from Southern CA to rural Colorado 4 years ago, and anytime I go back to visit family I am so overwhelmed. The freeway - terrifying. The grocery store - way too many options. The parking signs/rules - literally WHY. It's very hard to get back into the big city life once you leave. You do you! Try it out for now, and if you still hate it after the bebe comes, just peace out!
I think you feel frazzled because you want to “nest” as they call it. Maybe if you tackle the nursery first you’ll feel better because then you’ll know the baby will be settled while everything else is getting worked out? I think that will help you feel more stable! But you got this Lauren & Henny! 🙏🏽
it's absolutely okay for you to feel overwhelmed, unsure and unstable -- you are a reflection of your environment! You have made the absolute best in staying present and enjoying the big fun and exciting things, and its also ok to check-in with yourself and be real. This stuff is hard!!! It's alot!! Let yourself have these moments so you can create more space to process whatever else may come your way. You will be okay just as you have been before!! xx
the Ubbi diaper pail is a game changer! also any sort of bouncer (love our baby bjorn) just to have a safe place to set baby down when you need to go potty or cook or whatever 🙌
I just moved back to miami after 3 years the change has startled me so I feel you! the prices of the homes are discouraging and it’s very overwhelming to come back
Lauren, thank you for always being REAL. I’m pregnant with number 2 and everything you’re feeling is totally normal. Once it all falls into place, you’ll be glad you made the move. You’re going to want/need all the support from family when baby boy comes! ❤
Girl I feel ya, I moved from the suburbs to the city last year and I am only liking it now and low key prefer the suburb life. You’ve been doing A LOT!! Give yourself grace, glad you’re allowing yourself to feel the emotions. Sending good vibes ❤
Another silent latinaaa subscriber here, but I've loved growing along side you. thank you for always showing up as yourself, it's inspiring! I can't imagine doing so many big life changes in a short period of time, but you are doing it!!! I'm a planner & love routine too, but sometimes I struggle with slowing down my brain and not letting it plan too far ahead. You got your awesome family and husband to support you through it, it's okay to take some time to breathe while you figure it all out. It'll come together just like everything else has so far!!
Thank you for being open with us. I moved from South Carolina to Pennsylvania a year ago and my house still isn’t together with my new teaching job it takes up a lot of my time. Things take time and I think we all need to remind ourselves of that. I’m very excited to have the summer off and to focus on things I don’t normally have time for and be able to hangout with new friends and grow those relationships. So just keep going and don’t second guess anything. you’re where you need to be! Love you girl and can’t wait for the babes 🥰
a diaper pail & a wipe warmer!!! absolutely! ppl told me it’s not necessary. but using a warm wipe on my sweet little baby makes me feel so much better. we love our Munchkin Diaper Pail. they have them at target!
When it comes to you talking about your style I feel like you get some cute long flowy dresses, because then it’s giving cute, classy, married woman whilst still being comfortable x
I totally get how you feel about loving Miami but also missing AZ.. I also moved out of state to AZ but only thing missing is family being close. I’m sure once baby is here,, you’ll have clarity of what you want for your new lil family 💕💕
been here since vine days and love watching your videos so much to this day! I feel like I’m going thru life with you so thank you for being so open and sharing your life with us, I’m sure it’s not easy. You rock Lauren ❤
I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and congratulations on your marriage! I did see you brought Lua into grocery stores unless she is trained as a true service animal. She's a big dog and I know several people with PTSD from large dogs and it's really hard for them to be around as well as the FDA does not allow dogs unless a trained service animal in grocery stores for hygienic reasons.
don’t worry ❤️ you made the right choice, especially as a new mom, it is such a help and blessing to have your family to be there for you, care for you and your baby. There’ll be overwhelming moments as a first time mum, but you are going to have such a support system around you, that it’ll definitely make things easier for you. Plus your family will be there to create those special memories with you and your baby boy, and this is so much more important than a perfectly furnishes house. Routines come an go and you’ll definitely figure it out as you always did, you already moved places before and you know how that all works, you just need time. But being a mom, that’s something you have never experienced before so as I said it is great to have your support system there for you incase you’ll need help.
I don’t believe stretch marks are inevitable. I had 3 kids and didn’t get a single stretch mark like my mother and sister. I used oil and lotion CONSTANTLY!! Defy it the best you can gurl!! You’re going to want to show off your flat stomach a few months after having that baby. I felt like the skinniest thing in the world 2/3 months after having my baby. You’re taking care of yourself and that’s great!! So many girls think they can eat whatever they want while pregnant, then cry when they can’t lose the 60/70 pounds they gained. I tried to stay at 35 pounds and always went back to a size 3 or 5 pretty quickly. You’re gorgeous!!
You’re not alone! I move from Cali to Michigan at 26 weeks pregnant. We were in Cali for 4 years and it was SO nice. Moved to MI so baby can be close to family. And while it’s been great and all I do miss being by the beach and the vibes there 😅
Girl! You are slaying. no reason to move back to AZ, I live in Florida there are neighborhoods all over the state that can offer you what you love about AZ. even if you move a little farther north you can find that and be in driving distance to your family! We want you and Henny , Lua and Baby here!! ❤
19:00 I will say, prioritize your space & prepare to bring a little baby home to your space it’s very important you won’t regret it! Even if it’s not the nicest most perfect stuff that’s ok!!! Just get the essentials that will help you with that
I totally feel you on the concerns of if you made the right choice because it’s so overwhelming but all you can do is move forward and nesting is part of the pregnancy and getting the apartment in order definitely falls under that category! I did so much organizing when I was pregnant like switching entire rooms of furniture and setting up all of the baby’s furniture in what was my husbands old office and also trying to organize closets and the basement and it helped just doing one room at a time each weekend. So if you break it up in manageable chunks like doing the master bedroom one weekend, then the kitchen, then the bathroom, then baby’s room etc it will help! Good luck mama!
currently preggo with baby #2 and i finally felt like i got back to feeling like myself after a really tough year with first baby (eczema, allergies, covid). We just bought a home and the renos are taking SO much longer than expected so im living at my moms, working full time...and although its amazing it is all definitely so overwhelming. But at the end of the day my family is so amazingly helpful and I know ill feel less anxious once we get settled in. Its life changing having a baby, but the love you, Henny and family will feel will triumph over any struggles!!
I’ve been nannying for 7 years, and all you really need is a diaper pail like you mentioned and a few baby holder items - ie a play mat, swing, or boppy/doc a tot, especially for those early days where they don’t do much😅
Don’t worry your family around you is going to be worth more then the moving struggles you are facing now! I am 5 months postpartum and having family close was essential for me I feel so great because of it. Also you are growing a baby and that itself is a major element of maybe feeling yourself or off your routine! Pregnancy was so hard on me towards the end and I got completely off my routine but I’m back afterwards that will be you. Pleaseeee give yourself grace you are growing a whole human❤❤❤ love watching you and we have the same name so slayyyyy❤
Awww Lauren! We are alll here supporting y’all ❤ You’re going through so much change and you’re killing it!! It’s okay to be overwhelmed especially with this big new chapter ❤
fresh market was my shittttt when I lived in miami lol. also brickell key used to be my daily walk it’s boujee parking sucks but it’s gorgeous. also remember how difficult every major change always feels it’s so normal to mourn chapters of your old life ending even though you are happy about the new chapter.
Catching up on your vlogs finally. Your wedding is beautiful. And you are so gorgeous pregnant. Ik its weird going through the different stages and how much your body is changing but you are creating life and you are gonna slay mom life. Im sure you will snapback so quickly. It’s amazing how you are able to do 12/3/30 everyday that’s dedication. And your stomach is so smooth. I am glad we are coming along for the journey. So many big girl life changing things have happened for you. Congratulations to you and Henny
so many changes can be super overwhelming especially pregnant, but just remember to enjoy every moment and what each stage has to offer💞 who knows what the future holds and how you will feel in a few years, stay present mama your doing so good!
Girl ya talking about the diaper genie. We have 3 of them from Amazon (not the diaper genie brand) and love them. Bag and tie poopy diapers and put into the bag in the genie. Double bag system for sure. We had a baby 1/2022 and lived two to three hours away from family. We just sold our house and moved to be near family and support. It was REALLY hard to go from homeowner to renter in a smaller space, like we almost didn’t feel as adult or accomplished. But, this was the best decision for our family, and we just closed on our new house today 🎉 the support from family is essential
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 Praying for your peace and comfort through everything you’re going through now!
Watching your videos brings so much peace and joy. I will wait until I am all alone to sit down and really enjoy watching these because it’s something i look forward to so much! 🩷 Give yourself some grace, you are doing the MOST right now girl! It’s normal to feel overwhelmed or start to second guess yourself 🩷thanks for posting!!
I totally feel you and I’m from Miami and moved away. The RE prices are high to live there permanently comfortably. I love the way you are thinking you are on a short term vaca to build memories with the baby & family🦋🙏you got this mama dale pa’lante❤️
Lauren you are doing great, dont worry about every little thing, as long as you and henny take care of yourselves and your baby once he arrives, thats all he needs. He won't remember if the cabinets were painted or not lol and having family around will be a huge help too! take it one day at a time and enjoy the process, dont be so hard on yourself
Lauren girl I feel you so much! I am 24 weeks and just moved back to the states from the Netherlands! It’s been such a wild and crazy ride trying to buy a house, husband get set up at his job, finding a routine and not being able to set anything up yet. It is so stressful at times I literally cried all last night because I’m so overwhelmed. But today I had a whole new mindset and think about looking back on this crazy time and telling our son how wild his parents were to go for it! I think yal will feel the same. Anyways just wanted to let you know this was totally relatable and I’m with ya chicka, hang in there as we ride through these big emotions and make our houses a home 💛
Your almost there girl, you can do it. Your in the homestretch gorge and I know your going to snatch back after you give birth. You are one of the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen.
I also moved into a new home while pregnant and I can tell you NESTING is a real thing!! And your about to be in full nesting mode. My advice is have your nursery as one of the first things done. It will put your mind at ease knowing at least your baby will be more than comfortable and everything else will fall into place. That’s what helped me at least
Hey girly ! (Another silent subscriber and local Miami- native). Consider West Kendall or Westchester for rent or purchasing so you get a house with a yard. You could also do homestead for “middle of nowhere” vibes with some civilization. The most popular hot-girl walk takes place near south point park (everyone on Clyx makes it an “event”) but it’s great anytime of day. I also recommend Lumus park of your out that way. The paths are larger. Do not stress about the changes, they are not important in “the big picture” you are just in a nesting frenzy. I hope you find peace in the loving support of your family, and I think you will find more time in your schedule than you think. Babies sleep ALOT. Wishing you the best!
That is exactly how I felt when I bought my new house. Our situations are kind of opposite bc I went from apartments to home but I had a good routine before and adjusting to my new home was overwhelming bc I wasn’t in close proximity to my fave places anymore and the whole getting everything together and decorating was just a lot. But you will get through it!! A small piece of advice is… if your finances allow it, go kind of nuts on all the things you want and BUY BUY BUY and decorate. Make it your space and comfortable even if it’s just temporary. My environment heavily affects me and I can tell it affects you as well so focus on bringing back some of your AZ vibes to Miami! Or simply just know you are not alone with your thoughts. We feel you and your feelings are totally valid! Just gotta ride the wave of emotions ~
Nothing wrong with going back, I moved from originally California to Colorado, then to Arizona then back to California then back to Arizona and now currently back in Colorado all within a 1-2 year span…… I know, I know but you live and you learn and we are happy and don’t regret the experiences. But now we are furshure staying put 😂 lol
Awww Lauren I really really feel so much for you! I got pregnant at 23 while I was living in TX, had my whole career, routine everything. After I had the baby my parents convinced us to move back to NYC and I felt so overwhelmed because everything was so expensive, we moved to a much much smaller apartment for double what I was paying in Texas, but I will never regret it because even though I was so all over the place and honestly hated the apt I was living in and broke because I had to leave my great job, I don’t know where I’d be without my family helping us with the baby. It truly takes a village and you get to have that in Miami!!! You got this mamaaaa ❤❤❤
Hi Lauren!! Love your videos and am happy for you sis!! Just a recommendation for new parents there’s a rental called Snoo. For babies to sleep and add more sleep for parents… would highly recommend it! My employer provides this benefit and I hear so much good feedback from it.
The good thing about your situation is you have no regrets lol you wanted to try out Miami and now you and Henny and baby get to share that adventure together. If it ain’t it remember you can always go back to Arizona.
The housing market in Miami is ridiculous...but I recommend looking outside of Aventura if you haven't already, there are definitely huge houses out here with drive ways and land! Haha hope you fall back in love with your hometown
Don’t stress about the baby nursery for example crib, decor etc my kids didn’t sleep in a separate room till they were 6 months old. My opinion that project can wait
Lauren if I can I would like to give u a little advice, ur baby will be so grateful for the sacrifice u did since he’s gonna grow up around a big loving family. Also don’t wait for the house to be ready and everything perfect to make little daily things that make u feel good. Ur so strong🫶
Girl count your blessings!! I’m not invalidating your feelings, but man you have it so good!! I was sick my entire pregnancy and lost 20lbs and ended up having my son early across the country.. he was in the NICU for weeks, and then when he was released I had to drive him across the country as a premature baby, hand pumping on the road. We finally got back to our 600sqft apartment in the hood that ended up getting shot up with 9 bullets. I was sick with a birth related infection for 8 months and lost even more weight, and was on the verge of life. I had no family or friends to help. I was poor as hell, struggling with horrible depression. From where I can see it, you have it so so so good. Just count those blessings. A lot of us are a lot worse off than you, sis. You got this. You are in a good place even if it doesn’t feel like it. Once you get your routine down it will be easier. And the help from your family is such a blessing in itself.
@@alaaaaaa21 I think some rich people get so used to be 100% comfortable that they confuse minor inconveniences with problems. If she’s been rich since birth, I can see how it could make her oblivious. That’s absolutely no shade to her, some people are born without the same life experiences. But man, she has it so so so good lol!! I hope she can see that soon.
@@alaaaaaa21 like I WISH I was worried about my kitchen light and outdated kitchen during pregnancy like she is 😂 !! That’s a good inconvenience to have lol!
@@BabyMango no definitely, that’s why i said might be oblivious, we don’t know the girl personally but we do know what she puts out there. it’s probably bc you and i come from low income/poverty backgrounds so we get to see the reality of life when it comes to major life problems and “inconveniences” that hit us unexpected while still managing to survive while other ppl stress about their light decorations and having both an apartment and a home and which ones better to live in.
@@BabyMango girl tell me about it, like i wish i was able to only worry about that but nah your girl is currently unemployed while dealing with a knee surgery, it’s okay tho it’s life lol.
@@urmomgayslayI'm not talking about the entire state. I am comparing it specifically to where they live in/near Scottsdale. Similar home options, similar land options, similar weather, but has more of a kitchy vibe similar to Miami.
Lauren, I have been waiting for this rant. I’m glad it finally caught up with you. But I will help you. My hubby up and moved me four weeks postpartum to be close to my parents. Was it crazy hard to move. Yes, but did I enjoy having my parents around the corner 100% We moved back to our place when my baby was 3 years old. That was a long vacation. But it was so worth it and I was ready to leave my family by that point.
At least you’ll be around family and have that support for 1-2 years. I think that’s the most important thing and then you can take it from there! Wishing you the best with your move and hopefully you can get back to your routine soon.
Diaper Genie!!! We love ours (we have an 11 month old boy) and would definitely recommend it. I bought the Hatch oil too and got stretch marks for DAYS so I’m one of those people who believes if they’re gonna happen they’re gonna happen. But having your growing belly oiled/moisturized is never a bad thing, be nice to that skin! Doing 12330 now in pregnancy is the absolute best thing you can do for your future body. :)
I totally feel you Lauren on the whole moving back to Florida, I just moved back after being 3 years in VA and even though that’s not the best state for a young couple I do miss so much of it how my life was set up my own routine
Girlie.....the brownie pillow cookies are AMAZING from Fresh Market. Definitely recommend, but also agree with Henny about the chocolate CHUNK cookies. Can't go wrong with a good chunk.
I moved back home right as I entered my third trimester as well. I won’t lie, I’m still trying to adjust to all the constant changes that motherhood brings but at least for me, when my son was born everything just felt better. Even though nothing was right or normal, it felt better with him there. I also didn’t feel super connected to my pregnancy whatsoever but the day baby came, I felt the connection to him. We’re just starting to fall into a routine and life is starting to feel a little less chaotic and a lot more fuller than it ever had before. Great transformation will always feel incredibly uncomfortable but it is always so worth it. I also did the whole “we will not be here for long” transition to comfort my mind through all the shifts. Hang tight mama, you got this 🫶🏼❤️✨
I feel you girl, we moved from Miami to Texas for my boyfriends job opportunity and we were able to buy a house here. Its sad to think we might never be able to own a house in our home city 😢 I don’t miss the Miami craziness at all, just my family. Hopefully all the people that moved there get sick of it eventually and move away lol.
You’ll get through this Lauren!! Just decorate your apartment however you want and make it your vibe and super cozy! And don’t hesitate to ask for help doing this given your state! Much love! 🫶🏼
Girl omg all that you're feeling is so normal...happened to me when I first moved back to Miami from Seattle and now I'm so happy living here in Brickell with the hubby
Girl same…. I moved from arizona to California and I miss my Arizona so much the land the big streets!!! Less people ugh and I was also pregnant so I definitely get you!
Haha I instantly new miss Dani klaric was behind that kitchen design, excited to see how it comes out and I’m patiently waiting for you to shop at Peachtree👀
I feel this so much I recently sold my first house I lived in for 7 yrs and moved to another city and renting an apartment. The apt doesn’t feel mine..Loud neighbors no outdoor area. It’s been different!! The plus is I love my new city! It’s a much better environment for me. Stay positive ❤
I cant imagine nesting while in the process of moving. It’s totally natural for you to want to have things more together and routine! I hope you can get the house stuff situated soon
This was a good one Touching on topics that are so relatable Honestly the rant at the end had me smiling because everything she said is so true but it’s a struggle man
Sending you all the positive vibes! Take everything as it comes and don't worry so much about where you'll be a year from now cause then you won't be able to take in the present moment, everything will work out, trust!
I get that you want to make your home ready and while it's not it's annoying, the first thing I thought when you mentioned it was that you guys should prioritize things that actually need to be done. like changing the style of the tiles in the bath or changing color of the cabinets is too much for this time in your life. you should just have furnitures, maybe wallpapers and get the baby sptuff and maternity stuff. spend time reading. that would be enough, hope you read this and find some insight in it ❤ I went through pregnancy last year and now my baby turns one in a month 😊
Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail is a diaper trash can (it takes regular trashbags which is good because others have specific trashbags that you have to buy that are expensive)
Girly pop as a social worker I hear you🥰it’s okay to feel like this & it’s okay to feel like you need to get everything done asap. But one thing I always remind myself is to let myself be human because if you don’t it will be too much. && I love watching your videos so never stop being you🤍

i’m still processing you are married AND pregnant. but sis, it’s hard but remember it’s also temporary and you are completely slaying everything. i’m overwhelmed with my wedding and it’s close to my house. i couldn’t do what you do, so you are superwoman.
You know what, if you’d stayed in Arizona, this little boy would have changed your whole routine regardless and the stress would be focused on him. Now when he comes you’ll know what it’s like to be in a bit of chaos and better prepared to deal with it. You’ve got this. Everything happens for a reason 💛💛💛
im so glad your wedding wasn’t any later in your pregnancy so you actually got to enjoy it and didn’t have to deal with potentially feeling super ill bc of 3rd trimester symptoms. your wedding looked incredible! can’t wait for the baby nursery now!
Dont worry Lauren its all gonna work out, its wonderful u have Henny by ur side. you're gonna be okay :)
You should
Usually a silent watcher, but just wanted to say… when I found out I was pregnant (4 years ago) we did everything we could to move back where our family was, we downsized and made sacrifices but it was the BEST decision. For us we NEEDED that family support with our baby, everything else falls into place and perspective❤
Thank you for this!!!!!
I LOVE how you guys include Lua in everything. It makes me sad when couples get pregnant and put their pup aside 😩
THIS
it's soooo hard after the baby comes. i feel bad for my dogs but my fiancé tries to take them to do stuff as much as possible. it's just SO MUCH WORK taking care of another human... especially one that can't communicate at all :/ (just hit 8 months, it gets easier!! those first 6 months are such a challenge though!)
I started walking my dogs by myself usually my husband does it, but because I’ve felt so bad. I even started cooking them meals and fruit snacks because I don’t want them to feel neglected 😭
@@andreaamezcua5502I’m gonna be able to quit my job to go back to school in two months and I’m so happy to have more time for my sweet dog. I’m just so easily overwhelmed by her crack head behavior when I get home 😭😭
You got this girl! Just wait until he’s born that’ll definitely take the cake for best day of your life, trust me!! Had my baby girl last October and it was seriously so incredible. You’ll really appreciate the help from your family too once baby is born ❤everything else will fall into place!
18:53 girl, you’re not alone in this! I recently moved from Arizona back home to New York in December, and I’ve been having the same doubts. In Arizona I had an amazing gym that I went to tons of freedom, and a routine that I had down packed where everything was going good for me. Since I’ve been back in New York, a lot of factors have made me doubt if I should’ve ever moved back, but hearing you go through the same thing makes me realize that it’s just a part of life. You’ll get that routine back we both will!
It makes sense to me to stay near family during the first year or two so they can help and to get yourselves settled into being parents and then moving back once you've got the hang of everything. I truly could never move back to an apartment after owning, unless it was temporary so I feel you on that sentiment! PLUS, not many people get the opportunity to do what you're doing - move near family when they're having a baby - so try your best to stay in gratitude. There is SO much your elders are going to be able to teach you and that is going to be invaluable to you! See this move as an investment into your future!!!
Hi Lauren! Silent subscriber, but since I'm early I wanted to say thank you so much for making videos! They always brighten my day and today was a hard one so it was needed!
Thank you for finally commenting Isabel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@LaurenGiraldo awww thank u so much! U made my day!
as a native Arizona girlie who has visited Miami and loves both, I totally get what ur saying about AZ being a different vibe. More grounding with all the mountains and open with the roads for sure. Enjoy ur beautiful time in Miami with family ❤ a true gift. Those views from ur apartment are gorgeous and your belly is the cutest
I love the way the apartment has no furniture it’s giving newly wed couple trying to figure everything out take your time with creating your perfect home for your growing family ❤
You have so much shifting in your season of changes. That discomfort is part of it, let it flow by, you can and you do learn so much from each change. I love your perspective in being open to each phase or your life, that perspective is going to serve you so well. ❤
The kitchen is gonna look so good!! It’s fun, maybe not for a permanent house but it’s cute for however long you guys are in Miami!
That's the plan! Slay
Youre the first youtuber thats so real this pregnancy, no one shows the insecure side, everyone makes it seem so perfect & when i was preg. I felt so guilty for not being 100% with how i looked bc thats all we see on social media. We see you & youre doing great honey!! ❤
every single thing will work out exactly how it’s supposed to. you’re killing it even when you feel like everything is falling apart, take your time and try not to stress you’re amazing! proud of you! 💓
girl i love how synchronous this video feels i’m actually going through the same thing right now but flipped… my man just bought us a home where i went to university (not my hometown) and i’ve been having the same thoughts like damn am i really never gonna get to live around family again? it’s boring here, isolating at times, but then on the other hand we can actually afford to build a life here with a backyard, financial freedom etc etc. like you said, at the end of the day i try to remember that nothing is permanent and i hope we can find the joy in change and new life seasons. lean on your support systems and i guarantee everything will be okay! in a few years we’ll probably look back at this time and realize exactly why we entered this season in this moment🙏🏽 ily
I feel you dude! I moved from Southern CA to rural Colorado 4 years ago, and anytime I go back to visit family I am so overwhelmed. The freeway - terrifying. The grocery store - way too many options. The parking signs/rules - literally WHY. It's very hard to get back into the big city life once you leave. You do you! Try it out for now, and if you still hate it after the bebe comes, just peace out!
I think you feel frazzled because you want to “nest” as they call it. Maybe if you tackle the nursery first you’ll feel better because then you’ll know the baby will be settled while everything else is getting worked out? I think that will help you feel more stable!
But you got this Lauren & Henny! 🙏🏽
it's absolutely okay for you to feel overwhelmed, unsure and unstable -- you are a reflection of your environment! You have made the absolute best in staying present and enjoying the big fun and exciting things, and its also ok to check-in with yourself and be real. This stuff is hard!!! It's alot!! Let yourself have these moments so you can create more space to process whatever else may come your way. You will be okay just as you have been before!! xx
the Ubbi diaper pail is a game changer! also any sort of bouncer (love our baby bjorn) just to have a safe place to set baby down when you need to go potty or cook or whatever 🙌
I just moved back to miami after 3 years the change has startled me so I feel you! the prices of the homes are discouraging and it’s very overwhelming to come back
i think this is the earliest i've ever been (said 17s ago lmao). lots of of love to you and henny
Lauren, thank you for always being REAL. I’m pregnant with number 2 and everything you’re feeling is totally normal. Once it all falls into place, you’ll be glad you made the move. You’re going to want/need all the support from family when baby boy comes! ❤
Wherever you end up, you will shine with your hubby and beautiful baby boy !
Girl I feel ya, I moved from the suburbs to the city last year and I am only liking it now and low key prefer the suburb life. You’ve been doing A LOT!! Give yourself grace, glad you’re allowing yourself to feel the emotions. Sending good vibes ❤
Another silent latinaaa subscriber here, but I've loved growing along side you. thank you for always showing up as yourself, it's inspiring! I can't imagine doing so many big life changes in a short period of time, but you are doing it!!! I'm a planner & love routine too, but sometimes I struggle with slowing down my brain and not letting it plan too far ahead. You got your awesome family and husband to support you through it, it's okay to take some time to breathe while you figure it all out. It'll come together just like everything else has so far!!
When I say perfect timing, I MEAN IT. Thank you for brightening my day Lauren!💗💗
You're so welcome! Ily
Thank you for being open with us. I moved from South Carolina to Pennsylvania a year ago and my house still isn’t together with my new teaching job it takes up a lot of my time. Things take time and I think we all need to remind ourselves of that. I’m very excited to have the summer off and to focus on things I don’t normally have time for and be able to hangout with new friends and grow those relationships. So just keep going and don’t second guess anything. you’re where you need to be! Love you girl and can’t wait for the babes 🥰
a diaper pail & a wipe warmer!!! absolutely! ppl told me it’s not necessary. but using a warm wipe on my sweet little baby makes me feel so much better. we love our Munchkin Diaper Pail. they have them at target!
When it comes to you talking about your style I feel like you get some cute long flowy dresses, because then it’s giving cute, classy, married woman whilst still being comfortable x
I totally get how you feel about loving Miami but also missing AZ.. I also moved out of state to AZ but only thing missing is family being close. I’m sure once baby is here,, you’ll have clarity of what you want for your new lil family 💕💕
Thank you for being so REAL! I’m 30 weeks right now and feeling the same exact way. This is hard! Mentally and physically, but we got this!
been here since vine days and love watching your videos so much to this day! I feel like I’m going thru life with you so thank you for being so open and sharing your life with us, I’m sure it’s not easy. You rock Lauren ❤
Girl your feelings are so valid this would all give me so much anxiety every day. You handle a lot and handle it well🤍
I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and congratulations on your marriage! I did see you brought Lua into grocery stores unless she is trained as a true service animal. She's a big dog and I know several people with PTSD from large dogs and it's really hard for them to be around as well as the FDA does not allow dogs unless a trained service animal in grocery stores for hygienic reasons.
I live in Arizona, and AZ is such a vibe it’s so underrated I love it here
don’t worry ❤️ you made the right choice, especially as a new mom, it is such a help and blessing to have your family to be there for you, care for you and your baby. There’ll be overwhelming moments as a first time mum, but you are going to have such a support system around you, that it’ll definitely make things easier for you. Plus your family will be there to create those special memories with you and your baby boy, and this is so much more important than a perfectly furnishes house. Routines come an go and you’ll definitely figure it out as you always did, you already moved places before and you know how that all works, you just need time. But being a mom, that’s something you have never experienced before so as I said it is great to have your support system there for you incase you’ll need help.
There’s a reason so many ppl watch and love you! You got this
I don’t believe stretch marks are inevitable. I had 3 kids and didn’t get a single stretch mark like my mother and sister. I used oil and lotion CONSTANTLY!! Defy it the best you can gurl!! You’re going to want to show off your flat stomach a few months after having that baby. I felt like the skinniest thing in the world 2/3 months after having my baby. You’re taking care of yourself and that’s great!! So many girls think they can eat whatever they want while pregnant, then cry when they can’t lose the 60/70 pounds they gained. I tried to stay at 35 pounds and always went back to a size 3 or 5 pretty quickly. You’re gorgeous!!
Make sure you’re walking a lot. It makes the delivery easier.
You’re not alone! I move from Cali to Michigan at 26 weeks pregnant. We were in Cali for 4 years and it was SO nice. Moved to MI so baby can be close to family. And while it’s been great and all I do miss being by the beach and the vibes there 😅
PLSSS start more videos like this. Vibe is immaculate - love the jazz! Very mom era
Girl! You are slaying. no reason to move back to AZ, I live in Florida there are neighborhoods all over the state that can offer you what you love about AZ. even if you move a little farther north you can find that and be in driving distance to your family! We want you and Henny , Lua and Baby here!! ❤
19:00 I will say, prioritize your space & prepare to bring a little baby home to your space it’s very important you won’t regret it! Even if it’s not the nicest most perfect stuff that’s ok!!! Just get the essentials that will help you with that
I totally feel you on the concerns of if you made the right choice because it’s so overwhelming but all you can do is move forward and nesting is part of the pregnancy and getting the apartment in order definitely falls under that category! I did so much organizing when I was pregnant like switching entire rooms of furniture and setting up all of the baby’s furniture in what was my husbands old office and also trying to organize closets and the basement and it helped just doing one room at a time each weekend. So if you break it up in manageable chunks like doing the master bedroom one weekend, then the kitchen, then the bathroom, then baby’s room etc it will help! Good luck mama!
Why do i have the strongest feeling that you’re going to create an incredible maternity line
currently preggo with baby #2 and i finally felt like i got back to feeling like myself after a really tough year with first baby (eczema, allergies, covid). We just bought a home and the renos are taking SO much longer than expected so im living at my moms, working full time...and although its amazing it is all definitely so overwhelming. But at the end of the day my family is so amazingly helpful and I know ill feel less anxious once we get settled in. Its life changing having a baby, but the love you, Henny and family will feel will triumph over any struggles!!
I’ve been nannying for 7 years, and all you really need is a diaper pail like you mentioned and a few baby holder items - ie a play mat, swing, or boppy/doc a tot, especially for those early days where they don’t do much😅
Don’t worry your family around you is going to be worth more then the moving struggles you are facing now! I am 5 months postpartum and having family close was essential for me I feel so great because of it. Also you are growing a baby and that itself is a major element of maybe feeling yourself or off your routine! Pregnancy was so hard on me towards the end and I got completely off my routine but I’m back afterwards that will be you. Pleaseeee give yourself grace you are growing a whole human❤❤❤ love watching you and we have the same name so slayyyyy❤
Awww Lauren! We are alll here supporting y’all ❤ You’re going through so much change and you’re killing it!! It’s okay to be overwhelmed especially with this big new chapter ❤
Have you thought about moving to a suburb near Miami? I feel like you could get similar vibes as AZ but closer than home! Love u btw ❤
fresh market was my shittttt when I lived in miami lol. also brickell key used to be my daily walk it’s boujee parking sucks but it’s gorgeous. also remember how difficult every major change always feels it’s so normal to mourn chapters of your old life ending even though you are happy about the new chapter.
i love that when you showed your bump in the beginning lua came over to show us her toy🥺 she’s so precious!
The city is depressing and Arizona just seems so relaxing
I CANNOT wait to see your colourful decoration era!!! We're done with the white modern look although it also stayed in Arizona.
Catching up on your vlogs finally. Your wedding is beautiful. And you are so gorgeous pregnant. Ik its weird going through the different stages and how much your body is changing but you are creating life and you are gonna slay mom life. Im sure you will snapback so quickly. It’s amazing how you are able to do 12/3/30 everyday that’s dedication. And your stomach is so smooth. I am glad we are coming along for the journey. So many big girl life changing things have happened for you. Congratulations to you and Henny
so many changes can be super overwhelming especially pregnant, but just remember to enjoy every moment and what each stage has to offer💞 who knows what the future holds and how you will feel in a few years, stay present mama your doing so good!
Girl ya talking about the diaper genie. We have 3 of them from Amazon (not the diaper genie brand) and love them. Bag and tie poopy diapers and put into the bag in the genie. Double bag system for sure.
We had a baby 1/2022 and lived two to three hours away from family. We just sold our house and moved to be near family and support. It was REALLY hard to go from homeowner to renter in a smaller space, like we almost didn’t feel as adult or accomplished. But, this was the best decision for our family, and we just closed on our new house today 🎉 the support from family is essential
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6
Praying for your peace and comfort through everything you’re going through now!
Watching your videos brings so much peace and joy. I will wait until I am all alone to sit down and really enjoy watching these because it’s something i look forward to so much! 🩷 Give yourself some grace, you are doing the MOST right now girl! It’s normal to feel overwhelmed or start to second guess yourself 🩷thanks for posting!!
South beach boardwalk! I used to walk it daily when I lived there!
I totally feel you and I’m from Miami and moved away. The RE prices are high to live there permanently comfortably. I love the way you are thinking you are on a short term vaca to build memories with the baby & family🦋🙏you got this mama dale pa’lante❤️
Lauren you are doing great, dont worry about every little thing, as long as you and henny take care of yourselves and your baby once he arrives, thats all he needs. He won't remember if the cabinets were painted or not lol and having family around will be a huge help too! take it one day at a time and enjoy the process, dont be so hard on yourself
Lauren girl I feel you so much! I am 24 weeks and just moved back to the states from the Netherlands! It’s been such a wild and crazy ride trying to buy a house, husband get set up at his job, finding a routine and not being able to set anything up yet. It is so stressful at times I literally cried all last night because I’m so overwhelmed. But today I had a whole new mindset and think about looking back on this crazy time and telling our son how wild his parents were to go for it! I think yal will feel the same. Anyways just wanted to let you know this was totally relatable and I’m with ya chicka, hang in there as we ride through these big emotions and make our houses a home 💛
It’s the way you’re ice rolling your face with AGGRESSION for me!! 😂😂 girlie you go hard!! 💖💖
Your almost there girl, you can do it. Your in the homestretch gorge and I know your going to snatch back after you give birth. You are one of the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen.
I also moved into a new home while pregnant and I can tell you NESTING is a real thing!! And your about to be in full nesting mode. My advice is have your nursery as one of the first things done. It will put your mind at ease knowing at least your baby will be more than comfortable and everything else will fall into place. That’s what helped me at least
Hey girly ! (Another silent subscriber and local Miami- native). Consider West Kendall or Westchester for rent or purchasing so you get a house with a yard. You could also do homestead for “middle of nowhere” vibes with some civilization. The most popular hot-girl walk takes place near south point park (everyone on Clyx makes it an “event”) but it’s great anytime of day. I also recommend Lumus park of your out that way. The paths are larger.
Do not stress about the changes, they are not important in “the big picture” you are just in a nesting frenzy. I hope you find peace in the loving support of your family, and I think you will find more time in your schedule than you think. Babies sleep ALOT.
Wishing you the best!
That is exactly how I felt when I bought my new house. Our situations are kind of opposite bc I went from apartments to home but I had a good routine before and adjusting to my new home was overwhelming bc I wasn’t in close proximity to my fave places anymore and the whole getting everything together and decorating was just a lot. But you will get through it!! A small piece of advice is… if your finances allow it, go kind of nuts on all the things you want and BUY BUY BUY and decorate. Make it your space and comfortable even if it’s just temporary. My environment heavily affects me and I can tell it affects you as well so focus on bringing back some of your AZ vibes to Miami! Or simply just know you are not alone with your thoughts. We feel you and your feelings are totally valid! Just gotta ride the wave of emotions ~
Nothing wrong with going back, I moved from originally California to Colorado, then to Arizona then back to California then back to Arizona and now currently back in Colorado all within a 1-2 year span…… I know, I know but you live and you learn and we are happy and don’t regret the experiences. But now we are furshure staying put 😂 lol
Awww Lauren I really really feel so much for you! I got pregnant at 23 while I was living in TX, had my whole career, routine everything. After I had the baby my parents convinced us to move back to NYC and I felt so overwhelmed because everything was so expensive, we moved to a much much smaller apartment for double what I was paying in Texas, but I will never regret it because even though I was so all over the place and honestly hated the apt I was living in and broke because I had to leave my great job, I don’t know where I’d be without my family helping us with the baby. It truly takes a village and you get to have that in Miami!!! You got this mamaaaa ❤❤❤
Hi Lauren!! Love your videos and am happy for you sis!! Just a recommendation for new parents there’s a rental called Snoo. For babies to sleep and add more sleep for parents… would highly recommend it! My employer provides this benefit and I hear so much good feedback from it.
The good thing about your situation is you have no regrets lol you wanted to try out Miami and now you and Henny and baby get to share that adventure together. If it ain’t it remember you can always go back to Arizona.
The housing market in Miami is ridiculous...but I recommend looking outside of Aventura if you haven't already, there are definitely huge houses out here with drive ways and land! Haha hope you fall back in love with your hometown
Arizona is such a family state. Especially Scottsdale area!!! Your little family is going to flourish out here
Girl Scottsdale is just for rich people 😂
Don’t stress about the baby nursery for example crib, decor etc my kids didn’t sleep in a separate room till they were 6 months old. My opinion that project can wait
Lauren if I can I would like to give u a little advice, ur baby will be so grateful for the sacrifice u did since he’s gonna grow up around a big loving family. Also don’t wait for the house to be ready and everything perfect to make little daily things that make u feel good. Ur so strong🫶
Lauren Thankyou for being so real and authentic on RUclips!! I can’t bear to watch anyone else atm
Girl count your blessings!! I’m not invalidating your feelings, but man you have it so good!! I was sick my entire pregnancy and lost 20lbs and ended up having my son early across the country.. he was in the NICU for weeks, and then when he was released I had to drive him across the country as a premature baby, hand pumping on the road. We finally got back to our 600sqft apartment in the hood that ended up getting shot up with 9 bullets. I was sick with a birth related infection for 8 months and lost even more weight, and was on the verge of life. I had no family or friends to help. I was poor as hell, struggling with horrible depression. From where I can see it, you have it so so so good. Just count those blessings. A lot of us are a lot worse off than you, sis. You got this. You are in a good place even if it doesn’t feel like it. Once you get your routine down it will be easier. And the help from your family is such a blessing in itself.
100% agree with you, she just might be oblivious (i only say this bc i’ve been watching her since vine). i hope you’re doing good tho momma🌟
@@alaaaaaa21 I think some rich people get so used to be 100% comfortable that they confuse minor inconveniences with problems. If she’s been rich since birth, I can see how it could make her oblivious. That’s absolutely no shade to her, some people are born without the same life experiences. But man, she has it so so so good lol!! I hope she can see that soon.
@@alaaaaaa21 like I WISH I was worried about my kitchen light and outdated kitchen during pregnancy like she is 😂 !! That’s a good inconvenience to have lol!
@@BabyMango no definitely, that’s why i said might be oblivious, we don’t know the girl personally but we do know what she puts out there. it’s probably bc you and i come from low income/poverty backgrounds so we get to see the reality of life when it comes to major life problems and “inconveniences” that hit us unexpected while still managing to survive while other ppl stress about their light decorations and having both an apartment and a home and which ones better to live in.
@@BabyMango girl tell me about it, like i wish i was able to only worry about that but nah your girl is currently unemployed while dealing with a knee surgery, it’s okay tho it’s life lol.
Would also recommend looking at home options in the Coachella Valley if you want a similar suburban vibe but something that isn't AZ
but az has a lot more options and is much bigger
@@urmomgayslayI'm not talking about the entire state. I am comparing it specifically to where they live in/near Scottsdale. Similar home options, similar land options, similar weather, but has more of a kitchy vibe similar to Miami.
Lauren, I have been waiting for this rant. I’m glad it finally caught up with you. But I will help you. My hubby up and moved me four weeks postpartum to be close to my parents. Was it crazy hard to move. Yes, but did I enjoy having my parents around the corner 100% We moved back to our place when my baby was 3 years old. That was a long vacation. But it was so worth it and I was ready to leave my family by that point.
At least you’ll be around family and have that support for 1-2 years. I think that’s the most important thing and then you can take it from there! Wishing you the best with your move and hopefully you can get back to your routine soon.
Diaper Genie!!! We love ours (we have an 11 month old boy) and would definitely recommend it.
I bought the Hatch oil too and got stretch marks for DAYS so I’m one of those people who believes if they’re gonna happen they’re gonna happen. But having your growing belly oiled/moisturized is never a bad thing, be nice to that skin! Doing 12330 now in pregnancy is the absolute best thing you can do for your future body. :)
Love your new place and your wedding was so beautiful!
I totally feel you Lauren on the whole moving back to Florida, I just moved back after being 3 years in VA and even though that’s not the best state for a young couple I do miss so much of it how my life was set up my own routine
Girlie.....the brownie pillow cookies are AMAZING from Fresh Market. Definitely recommend, but also agree with Henny about the chocolate CHUNK cookies. Can't go wrong with a good chunk.
I moved back home right as I entered my third trimester as well. I won’t lie, I’m still trying to adjust to all the constant changes that motherhood brings but at least for me, when my son was born everything just felt better. Even though nothing was right or normal, it felt better with him there. I also didn’t feel super connected to my pregnancy whatsoever but the day baby came, I felt the connection to him. We’re just starting to fall into a routine and life is starting to feel a little less chaotic and a lot more fuller than it ever had before. Great transformation will always feel incredibly uncomfortable but it is always so worth it. I also did the whole “we will not be here for long” transition to comfort my mind through all the shifts. Hang tight mama, you got this 🫶🏼❤️✨
I feel you girl, we moved from Miami to Texas for my boyfriends job opportunity and we were able to buy a house here. Its sad to think we might never be able to own a house in our home city 😢 I don’t miss the Miami craziness at all, just my family. Hopefully all the people that moved there get sick of it eventually and move away lol.
You’ll get through this Lauren!! Just decorate your apartment however you want and make it your vibe and super cozy! And don’t hesitate to ask for help doing this given your state! Much love! 🫶🏼
Girl omg all that you're feeling is so normal...happened to me when I first moved back to Miami from Seattle and now I'm so happy living here in Brickell with the hubby
I moved to Miami one year ago from Phoenix and completely feel you there. But now I don’t regret it 😊
Girl same…. I moved from arizona to California and I miss my Arizona so much the land the big streets!!! Less people ugh and I was also pregnant so I definitely get you!
Haha I instantly new miss Dani klaric was behind that kitchen design, excited to see how it comes out and I’m patiently waiting for you to shop at Peachtree👀
I feel this so much I recently sold my first house I lived in for 7 yrs and moved to another city and renting an apartment. The apt doesn’t feel mine..Loud neighbors no outdoor area. It’s been different!! The plus is I love my new city! It’s a much better environment for me. Stay positive ❤
I cant imagine nesting while in the process of moving. It’s totally natural for you to want to have things more together and routine! I hope you can get the house stuff situated soon
This was a good one
Touching on topics that are so relatable
Honestly the rant at the end had me smiling because everything she said is so true but it’s a struggle man
Sending you all the positive vibes! Take everything as it comes and don't worry so much about where you'll be a year from now cause then you won't be able to take in the present moment, everything will work out, trust!
I get that you want to make your home ready and while it's not it's annoying, the first thing I thought when you mentioned it was that you guys should prioritize things that actually need to be done. like changing the style of the tiles in the bath or changing color of the cabinets is too much for this time in your life. you should just have furnitures, maybe wallpapers and get the baby sptuff and maternity stuff. spend time reading. that would be enough, hope you read this and find some insight in it ❤ I went through pregnancy last year and now my baby turns one in a month 😊
Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail is a diaper trash can (it takes regular trashbags which is good because others have specific trashbags that you have to buy that are expensive)
Girly pop as a social worker I hear you🥰it’s okay to feel like this & it’s okay to feel like you need to get everything done asap. But one thing I always remind myself is to let myself be human because if you don’t it will be too much. && I love watching your videos so never stop being you🤍
