The fact that you are having mixed emotions about being pregnant is a good indication that you have a healthy perspective on being a parent. I think that means you are more likely to be a good parent.
Looking forward to some English wild camping vlogs! Dartmoor is close to where you’ll be, and there’s so much to do. I recommend the British RUclips channel, “Laura Griffiths Outdoors”, who does a lot of camping and wild swimming in Dartmoor. Congrats on the baby! My brother and his wife have four kids and take them on backpacking and camping trips. I think it’s hard at first, but it can be done with adaptation and several tries.
Thanks for the suggestion! We won't be too far from Dartmoor, so that'll be a new place to explore, and thanks for the recommendation. I know it'll be an adjustment, but I love learning new things, so it'll be a fun challenge!
I’m so thrilled to see you this video pop up on my home screen and see your new subscriber count! I didn’t really feel that internal clock until my mid 30s. I was so excited when I got pregnant. But when I found out I was having triplets I was overwhelmed and a bit terrified. I could so relate to your reaction that you talked about him getting pregnant. It was really nice to hear somebody be honest about it, because it’s OK. Looking forward to following your journey!
Congratulations. I have three children. They are now adults and have children of their own and they are the greatest blessing you can have. PS: you are going to get all kinds of parenting advice you just smile nod your head and you do you.
I like you have been on RUclips for a long time without reaping the benefits. I just moved to Myrtle Beach. I have decided that this my year….I’m going to get paid! Congratulations on your baby! Your feelings on finding out you were pregnant are valid. There was no need to apologize. Good luck on the new adventures.
congrats! the only “parenting advice” that’s actually worth taking & one-size-fits-all is Film Everything u can!! They change soooo fast and it’s so fun to look back on them each year. And since you already film a lot you basically get to just proceed as normal :)
Hi Lauren. I’m new to your channel. I got recommended your 15 years video and now I’ve watched this video. From what I’ve seen of you in these two videos I think you’re going to make a great mom. You seem very thoughtful, very intelligent and don’t worry if you don’t have those made for TV emotions. What kids need most is love. I wish you guys the best and I’m looking forward to checking in on you to see how life is developing. Give Strider a pet for me.
Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason it seems why someone shows up on my algorithm. I subscribed mainly because you seem like a real, genuine person who seems to have something relatable to offer
I’m really excited for your camping system updates and future videos and trips in that regard. Congratulations and best of luck with the pregnancy and the move and all the changes you have coming your way.
That was a beautiful reaction to see. It's nice that you and your husband travelled and experienced life before the era of children is upon you. Your old life is gone, but it was good, and you used the time wisely. Now it's time to b a Mom. BECause you already lived a bit, you'll never see your child as a sacrafice you made in life.
Yayayayayayayayyayayayyayayayayayaayyyyyy! So happy for you guys and I'm so darn happy you'll be moving closer to me soon! Count me in on that Normandy leg of the camping trip 😅
Earlier this evening the Algo randomly recommended your "15 years 500 subscribers" video. Interesting title, and an interesting story. I immediately subbed and have now added you to the "List of Interesting Ladies Leading Interesting Lives" that I follow on YT: Nicky Positano, Itchy Boots, Wonderhussy, and now Lauren RS . So happy to hear about the baby, and wish you all the best. Now I have a lot of content to catch up on!
I can totally relate! My husband and I tried for a few years to get pregnant naturally, until we decided to do IVF. Although we spent a lot of time and money to have our only child, when I found out I was pregnant I felt the same way you did. I’m sure a lot of parents, if they’re being honest with themselves, have felt the way you did whether it’s a surprise or planned pregnancy. I wish I had taken more photos of myself while pregnant. My toddler likes looking at those photos now when he was in mommy’s belly. Congratulations! I love your videos 😊
Congratulations! It sounds like you're already aware of a lot of stuff that hit most new parents after the baby is born. Which I think is awesome! Also: Taking it day by day is a pretty good idea 💝💝
It seems I'm the first, but yes, I would like to see you weatherproofing your tent. Okay, I'm a total nerd, but some of my best memories involve tents, watertight ones, and ones most certainly otherwise. I really enjoy watching real people who share their lives with us. Thank you for letting us into your life.
Congratulations on your pregnancy. You will be a great mom. I’m happy with you. Sincerely, your favorite subscriber as of about 1005am today. Ten minutes ago.
Hello Lauren, so happy for you, congratulations! Having mixed feelings about being pregnant is totally normal and I'm sure you'll be a good Mom. I've noticed not only your bump is growing (I'd say a boy) but so is your channel, congrats on that too! You're doing great. Kind regards from Germany.
Girl you need to know it’s okay to have mixed emotions. It’s okay to be happy, scared, nervous, anxious, unhappy, it’s also okay to have regrets but know it’s all normal. It’s part of major life changes. You have no need to feel guilty because others struggle to conceive, I’m 42 and have no children because I simply cannot have any, however my struggles and others like mine, don’t get to dictate your emotions. Wow a major country move and a new baby! How exciting and crazy. Wishing you all wel and love and joy! ❤
@@laurenrs excuse my language F! Society. Society is stupid. Your feelings, no matter what they are, are valid. Even if they aren’t facts. Girl I got you, send me to those who are telling you otherwise.
Congratulations on your little one! Just wanted to say that it's the type of life changing situation where all different types of emotions, realizations and feelings are appropriate! It's healthy to feel a little concerned about everything but that concern is what starts the changes in life that set you on the right course.
@@laurenrs I have 3, all grown now but I remember how terrified I was with my first. I was young, lost in more ways than 1, and had no idea which way was up. After my first was born I realized that feeling uncertain caused my reaction of trying to come to a better understanding, which I did. Good luck with your 👶🏻 😀
First, congratulations. A new adventure is about to start! All feelings are valid. Thank you for sharing your perspective. I am sure there are a lot of women feeling the same way. Take time for yourself, especially because you are moving at the same time as having a baby. I am a mother of 3, and I can tell you, your body needs rest. A lot of it. So be careful not to over do it. ♡
Aw, congratulations! The mixed emotions are so normal and totally understandable. Remember feeling much the same. Good luck & enjoy it, it really is a lovely experience. Your bump is so cute, I’m saying girl. No idea why though! ❤
You Deserve To Be Monetize On RUclips For Real, Because Your Video’s Are Very Very Very Beautiful, With Your Very Very Very Beautiful Personality To 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Bath is quite a nice city but I have only visited, nearest I have got to there is working in Bristol, only 15 minutes on the train. North Somerset/Bath is good trains into London and has easy driving to the many scenic places in SW England and Wales.
So excited to see that you went from 500 subscribers to almost 6000 on this video. Yayy! I love your camping info. Oh ... and congratulations on the pregnancy. I didn't enjoy my pregnancies but ... the babies were a whole 'nother story 🥰
Oh my I am so happy for you ! Glad I was wrong about a breakup of your marriage. Sorry about that. Super happy for you and your hubby. No more guessing stuff for me. 🙁 Be well and take care of yourself. Grandma Debbie Love the bump! Thank you! 13:55
Thank you for sharing, Lauren! Take your time with all those new life changes. It is okay to have mixed emotions about those things. Kinda sad that you have to leave California, but hey as you said Europe has some stuff to offer too ;) I live in Estonia, which has even colder and longer winters than UK, but hiking is still a thing here :) so if you ever feel like exploring some bog trails or trails along Baltic Sea, you're very welcome to visit! :)
Congrats on the Baby. Congrats also on your channel growth! SD is nice, oof England so cold. At least you know what to expect :) Have a safe easy move.
Oh dear, why do i only have 500 subs after 15 years ?. Nothing different than tens of thousands of other YT videos to offer. A must have is the OVERSIZED MUG and never forget to repeat SUSTAINABILITY. Throw in tiny titbits regarding personal life and SUSTAINABILITY. Narcissistic traits equals LOOK AT ME mentality in whatever form it takes.
just came over here from that "15 yrs with less then 500" video... expected more talk about that, but then was plunged into a pregnancy reveal; so there is just me, some random dude on the internet, but when I hear how much you guys move anyways, then I am quite startled to hear, you want to give birth in the U.S. first...? Why? Get your behind to Europe and give birth there!
The fact that you are having mixed emotions about being pregnant is a good indication that you have a healthy perspective on being a parent. I think that means you are more likely to be a good parent.
Thank you! I hope I will be. 🥰
congrats on your pregnancy! As former member of the military, I can feel your pain on the always moving part!
You're just splendid to listen to. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot for your honest update!😍 And congratulations! :)
Congrats to you two! also Stryder gets a sib! 😊 Great news
