As someone who just had a baby, you have the complete right mindset about a birth plan, have preferences but not a plan. Go with the flow, have no expectations and it will happen exactly as it was meant to go. ❤ good luck!!
@@jenniferhooper6471 I believe it. I have two older brothers and one younger sister. Our brothers were always driving our poor parents up the wall. My sister and I were always calm, cool and collected. To this very day. We are all in our 30s and it is the same. 😁
@@indiaadams8220, hahahaha. I’m sure some girls can be dramatic and that’s what I thought when I had kids but now I think it’s a stereotype that’s not always true. My son is engaged and his fiancé laughs at how dramatic he is!
Clancy, you could still film/edit the birth and save it as a vlog for just you and Zac! Something you could watch and eventually show baby boy. Don’t lose the art of the purpose of home video by people scaring you away from posting it… just have it as a keepsake :)
As a reader raising a reader (2.5 year old boy) I can tell you the best thing I did was start reading from day 3 😆 we read books to him every day and placed books around him to look at when on his tummy. He started crawling at around 5 months and the first thing he ever sought out was a book which he would hand me to read. He still reads more often than not in his play time and we go to the library weekly where he picks out books he's interested in. Reading as a regular part of your day, and his will make it really natural. Attending the library kids programs is great too. We started attending story reading hour when he was sitting on his own and he would sit and listen and it was really a great foundation for him to develop his enjoyment of reading from an early age. Also bonus is his vocabulary and sentences are incredible which I assume is from all the reading he listens to and then repeats/uses on his own.
Your background is so aesthetically pleasing. I think you’re already doing amazing as a mom. Listening to you speak on your babies feelings as he grows is so important. I look at it this way this channel is your job. In most situations people don’t take their child to work so why should you? Anyways great video have a great week.
I think that you are one of the realest influencers out there and you’d never ever become one of “those” family channels. I think there are a lot of wonderful families who show their real life without making a spectacle of their kids, just show what life is like. I think you’re going to be great at that and be a bright light on here no matter what. ❤
I love how you want to be educated for child birth. Honestly, that’s all you can be. I’m one of 3 girls and can’t imagine not having my sisters. But, OH the fights we had growing up. But they are truly my BFF’s. I he have two boys and a girl. My boys fought like crazy and it was so much more physical than my sisters and I. But I can say my kids are all extremely close now♥️
Hi Clancy! I remember a year ago you were worried about how you were going to get your makeup done for your wedding. Now you’re pregnant 🥹 I’m so happy for you
I was so sick all the way through my pregnancy. My work is somewhat physical, so I was moving but I couldn’t work out like I planned. I also gained a lot of weight because I needed to have a lot of carbs so I didn’t throw up. I had a difficult labour and my mother said to me “you know, if you had been healthier, your birth would have gone better.” I believed that up until very recently. Pregnancy and birth is so out of your control. Please be kind to yourself and remember that you are not able to control everything.
I would have loved to see the beginning stages of your birth like when you find out your water broke. But other than that I really get it girl. I really appreciate how you carve out your own path in this influencer world. You are such a a breathe of fresh air. Sending prayers for a safe delivery
just an idea, for your baby shower or baby’s first birthday have people get a baby book instead of a card!! super cute way to decorate the room and it gives you a book!!
Love the no plan plan for your birth plan! LO, L, no matter how hard a woman tries to plan for their birth. I think it just makes them disappointed when it doesn't go that way. The baby's safety and your safety are the first priority!
Your joints loosen up in preparation for baby and it can really effect your pelvis. Totally recommend pelvic floor pt before and after- game changer and it’s often covered by insurance depending on the provider. No peeing with sneezing here afterwards and they prep so well for labor (even stretching to prevent/minimize tearing). Get an si belt off of Amazon or a belly band can be prescribed by your doctor and covered by insurance
I love watching you, Clancy, and watching Asher wandering and sniffing around in the background makes the whole vlog that much better, he is so adorable and a most excellent special guest star! His fuzzy little presence has enhanced everything, SWOON! Can't wait to meet you human son, as well! 🐕👶
I don’t/wont support family channels or mom channels who make $ off content that centers their children. I bet it’s hard to say no to all the sponsorships and $, but the internet is forever and kids can’t consent.
It’s even more exciting that you will have you awesome Mom there to watch her grandkids grow up and to be there for you💕I think you and Zac will be amazing parents! Also, betting your dad will be so happy he moved by you guys!!
How adorable!!! A Boy!!! I follow McCenna XO and she just had a baby, I feel like a virtual aunty! To followed all of you for so many years and watch you young ladies develop over your lives and now y'all are going to be mommies 🥰🥰☺☺
This baby is so lucky! You are so thoughtful about how things could impact him as a child or in the future. So many influencers do not think about these things and I often cringe watching some of content they share about their children! Good luck with everything Clancy, we are all supporting you, and we will absolutely respect your boundaries!!
I had my baby girl 2 months ago . I had 11 hours of labor but my experience was one of the very rare ones . I had 2 failed epidural’s and 2 1/2 failed doses of the c section medication and 3 failed catheters. So I felt everything and I pushed for 35 minutes but over all it was so worth it she came out absolutely perfect.
*my boys are exactly 11 months apart (PCOS here too & after birth you’re definitely the most fertile BTW 😅) & they couldn’t be more opposite of one another - one looks just like my husband, one looks just like me, personality wise they couldn’t differ more - but they are absolute BEST friends & i wouldn’t trade it for the world*
I have 3 sons. I never imagined I would only have 1 gender of children but the bond my boys have is sooo awesome to witness and I know they will have someone on their side through life ❤️
Social Media with kids is hard to navigate even without a big reach. We've always chosen to share a bit here and there and ALWAYS positive! I see people share "funny" things their kids do or potty training etc and I have always thought what you said. How would they feel if they found in a few years?
I would recommend filming the birth just for you and Zac though! The end part where you meet baby at least. I regret not filming mine, it’s the most special moment and all the adrenaline can make it hard to remember it clearly afterwards!
Clancy you are so beyond beautiful inside and out. You have twice the glow now that you’re expecting. Im happy that you said you’re doing your research on all the aspects of giving birth. I have an 18 year old and an 8 year old. No birth plan with my first and labor was fast and easy compared to my second. Ten years later when I finally conceived my daughter… I planned everything! I just assumed it would go as planned because of how easy my first labor was. However, that wasn’t the case. I had an emergency cesarean section due to hemorrhaging. With birth… it’s so smart that you’re educating yourself on all the possibilities. I will say though… healing from the c section was way easier than I thought. You are going to be such an amazing mother!!!! I’m super happy for you and your family! This is the best thing that will ever happen to y’all. 🤗
We had a boy first and then girl. Our boy is so dramatic hahah. I think either way it’s great. If it were two boys I think they’d have more in common but I’m happy to have both selfishly. Excited for your journey.
I think that you should continue this place for your vlogs! Of course make sure you are comfortable with your chair and you can have support for your body.
Congratulations on keeping your one year commitment to Big Brother/sisters. I now after 8 years of having a little sister only see her about 3 times a year. We have a Christmas tradition we do with my family and hers every year. I love staying in touch but the every week is too much now. BTW my sister in law had 2 babies no meds, one epidural and she said she was much more present with no pain. Just her experience.
I absolutely LOVE your sit down videos i wish you could do more! Also side note- pack your bag early! my son was a month early. My husband and i went to target to get all my stuff ( i wanted for the hospital a new pillow and pillow case, blanket, pajamas, very oversized underwear lol, pads, dry shampoo etc. ) The next day at the doctors my blood pressure was so high they sent me to get monitored at the hospital. Brought the bag for me and baby. Had a C-section that night because he flipped 3 times in 1 day, so it would have most likely ended in an emergency c section anyway. He was born at exactly midnight and 11 seconds. The whole er cheered bc they haven't had a midnight baby in a long time.
You and Zach are gonna be amazing parents ❤ I have four sons and you guys will love being parents to a boy 😊 you’re also my Virgo birthday twin with that being said, I know you won’t miss a beat and you’re gonna be on your a game with motherhood ❤
I was born with reflux I almost had to have surgery as a baby it was so severe all I did as a baby was scream in pain... Best thing you can do is sleep elevated laying flat makes all that stomach acid come up which makes it tougher during the day they actually make like wedge shaped pillows to help with this, something Id definitely recommend! Pepto is a life saver and tums are safe during pregnancy (of course asknyr doctor first but they do help!) Btw I'm glad you're at peace with everything in life, you're going to be a great mommy and your little boy is very lucky to have you and after such a rough first trimester you DESERVE to be at peace! Also I think showing him little by little is okay, obviously you're going to be excited and want to share him, especially so it's not so taboo that people go crazy, I just don't think making him the center of your content is needed so I respect that you don't plan on making this a family channel I just don't like the idea of people becoming obsessed with a strangers child where they feel entitled to see him. But I trust your judgement I know you're gonna do what's right for you and your family.💙
I never made a plan with all 3 my first two were in the hospital with epidural. My third was right after lockdown at the start of the pandemic my husband delivered her at home alone and we went to the hospital after it went so fast and he wasn't even allowed in. I'll tell you the natural birth and recovery was so much better then the epidural
Your body, your birth plan! Don’t let anyone guilt you in what you want! I got the epidural at 2cm. I had back labor which is soooooo painful. I was induced at 40.5 weeks. After 3 days of labor, ended up with a C-section! Don’t plan too much cause it can go out the window fast lol!
Don’t feel bad talking about being excited and not nervous! Yes everything changes but going in looking at the positives isn’t “ignorant”. You know it’ll be hard but being a parent is wonderful and you will be fine!
Hi Clancy! Yes, just you and Zach fir the deluvery. Its such an intimate time. You 2 made this baby and its a orecious, special yime you deserve to have alone. 🩵🩵🩵
Being here since the beginning and whatever you decide I will still be here. But I do hope your channel changes to a family one, just because it has changed through every stage of your life.. from graduation to college life, to dating to marriage, and now a mom so I do hope you gives us content from your new chapter and for us to see how you are and your growth and if you really don’t want that, that maybe make another channel where is all about family and the ups and downs of motherhood. I feel like an aunt lol. I hope you do a birth vlog !! Hugs from Fl
Values and doing it by example. Do what you are comfortable and guidance. We change, even when we don't see right away especially if you see someone everyday.
I had acid reflux when I was pregnant. They had to prescribe me pepcid to take along with over the counter medicine because I could not sleep or eat certain things. Definitely feel your pain there. Going into the birth, I did not make much of a birth plan because I get anxious when plans don't go like I want them to lol It was a good thing too because I ended up having to have a c-section. I never actually went into labor. Had to be induced. Dialated. Undialated. And...yeah, it was an experience. My husband (also a Zack) was AMAZING through the whole process, and I could not have gotten through it as well as I did without him! One thing that I will say is, if it comes to a c-section, advocate to hold your baby once it is done and you are able to. Have fun with it. Third trimester is a whirlwind. I did not find it as "nasuseating" as first, but it was definitely more exhausting! Take lots of nap. Pelvic floor exercises and an exercise ball really helped with some of the pain I was having. Just enjoy the sweet little kicks and movements before your little one enters the world! :) You and Zac are going to be great parents, and I am excited to see y'all on that journey! 🩵
Take the epidural even if they stick it in your eyeball! I remember one day in my 7th month I had the idea I wanted to put on a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans...It didn't work to say the least.
My preference was an unmedicated water birth and thats what i was able to achieve thankfully. It did really help that i dilated really quickly for a first time mum - approx 6 hours from 1cm-10cm (midwives thought i was being dramatic when i was begging them to check me and then they were like oh wow youre at 9.5cm lets get the pool ready) lol. 😅. If id had a long labour i probably would have had to get the epidural as more than anything labour and contractions are EXHAUSTING and if they start at night like mine did then you skip an entire nights sleep and lose so much energy. I just about had the energy left to push him out but had it gone on longer i would have been too tired i reckon so would have needed some kind of assistance. Wishing you the best of luck for your birth!! 🎉🎉
Recently Found out I’m pregnant and am a resident doctor in emergency medicine, I’m getting an epidural the minute it’s offered but that’s because of my own personal experience on ObGYN rotations, I feel like sometimes ignorance is bliss because knowing so much about medicine makes me think about every possible scenario 😅 also had a dad almost out in the room seeing the placenta
With my first, I didn’t go into labor with any plan other than get an epidural as soon as I wanted it. No regrets. I took a labor/birth class so I knew a lot of what was going to go on (I was induced). It all worked out the way I had read it was going to so it was very textbook, I got the epidural when I needed it, and I had a very easy, amazing birth. With my second, my epidural didn’t work and actually ended up having to be completely turned off so I labored and birthed my second naturally. What I learned is that I definitely really never want to have a baby naturally ever ever ever again. It was awful😂
Hey Clancy, I recently watched a really wonderful birth vlog that I thought u may want to see if you haven’t already! It is one that I think you might want to take in, pretty empowering! XOMaCennaVlogs! Can you please give the brand/shade name of the lipstick you are wearing in this video! Love it bcuz it doesn’t shout “fire truck” red! Thx! 🌹👍🏽
We all have photos in our family photo albums that are photos of us when we were in our baby/toddler years that we see later in life that make us feel uncomfortable. There are some baby photos of me in a bathtub or on a blanket and while I'm sure my parents thought that was cute and all, those are photos that would never be shared online because obviously it would be so embarrassing. I feel lucky not to have been growing up when social media was a brand new thing. I don't think I could handle so much stuff that gets posted online these days. Also, there were lots of bullies in elementary school and I couldn't imagine not getting a break from bullies when I got home. At least when I went on the computer on the weekends, I was able to play games like Links Golf, Myst, Lemmings, Flight Simulator and Magic School Bus Explores The Human Body. Being at home was a nice break from the bullies and I actually dreaded going to school. I remember when Sunday evening was coming at an end, I would look to the beginning of Monday as some impending doom.
I hope you see this! I try to listen to your podcast and I have a fun idea, have your mom and Gabie’s mom write questions (idk 5-10 each), but the twist is your mom is writing questions for Gabie and her mom for you and y’all don’t know the questions before you record!
My husband and I were the only ones in the delivery room besides medical staff and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. You are very exposed in that moment. I think it is also a special moment for the parents to enjoy, just on their own without an audience.
3 is a good number for me because I lost my sister & very BEST friend and only sibling to breast cancer in 2005! Changed my life in myriad ways (not for the better.). I would really love to have another sibling for SO many reasons! 😢
I had my baby back in November and i wanted to do an un medicated birth but I ended up taking the epidural, and it was the best decision I made. My labor also ended in an emergency c section
Hi, Clancy! Happy Wednesday and Happy Juneteenth!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙💙🌈🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇👍. Your baby will become famous and the family loves it very much. So, I'll be praying for you.. and everyone in Ohio to be strong and be confident, just like the kid from the movie "The Neverending Story."😊😙💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
Just don’t forget how many creeps are on the internet that spend their whole day looking for pictures and videos of children 😢 don’t give them your children over on a silver platter.
Finally, a comment that understands the dangers of the hidden world behind the internet. It is disgusting to me how many parents know what goes on and continue to showcase their children all for money and views.
Lots of people have “emergency c-sections” because the hospital wants it to be done faster/can charge you more money. Watch ‘The Business of Being Born’ 😅
Would you be able to talk about getting pregnant with an irregular menstruation? Idk if that’s TMI but I also have a irregular period and my Husband want to start trying in the next 6months-1 year and I know with having an irregular period, it can be tricky to track ovulation. 😐 Also, you have the pregnancy glow!! Beautiful 🩷🩷
We have had 5 boys and 1 girl, ending with twin boys. You can not plan birth. Every single one of my births was very different. My first two I had no epidural with very long births. My 3rd with an epidural was so much better and my favorite birth. Our 4th had complications 24 hrs into labor, resulting in a needed emergency c-section. The best birth plan is knowing you can't plan childbirth. Film your labor & delivery experience, at least to have for you, even if you don't feel comfortable ever posting any of it online.
Look into family vloggers and the danger of having kids online. I follow one person that has a kid and they don’t show the face but for photos they are able to get beautiful pictures for social media. My sister went in with no plan because but meds because you don’t know what will happen. Her husband and his wife had this very strict birth plan not meds vaginal and she had to have an emergency c-section and it took way to long for the doctor to convince her for a c-section and we are a small town so not a lot of help if she waited. That confirmed my sisters no plan plan
Epidural with my son. I tried to deliver natural birth. You have until 7cm to make your decision. I waited right at 7cm mark and the nurse asked me one last time. In my devilish voice “I WANT IT!!!!” Because I was in so much pain.
With my second son I got a 3D sonogram. The image was so clear compared to the grainy black and white ones. The moment I saw it his name just popped into my head as if that's who he was all along and I had just learned it by looking at his face. If that makes any sense. 3D wasn't available with the first pregnancy but I wish it had been. Anyhoo so happy for you.
I had lower back pain and hip/ glute pain from the second trimester all the way to now(36 weeks) and something that really helped was doing 10 minute stretches before bedtime! I just put into RUclips stretches for lower back pain in whatever trimester I was in and let me tell you it has helped me so so much! Check with your doctor see if it’s safe for you and if it is maybe give it a try!💙
One thing is for sure....This baby will be absolutely beautiful!!!
Aww you’re so sweet!💞
Agree!!!
For sure
As someone who just had a baby, you have the complete right mindset about a birth plan, have preferences but not a plan. Go with the flow, have no expectations and it will happen exactly as it was meant to go. ❤ good luck!!
We have three boys……their dramatics are off the charts 🤣🤣
I have 2 girls and one boy. My boy is the oldest and he’s the most dramatic of the 3. By far. 😅

I agree with you 100% and I can't wait when yutube finally creates a law that no children under sixteen can be videotaped.
Good morning, Clancy. I ❤ the flower arrangements in the background.......

So I felt everything and I pushed for 35 minutes but over all it was so worth it she came out absolutely perfect.

That’s awesome! 🩷🩷
This is the best day of my life
Clancy, so excited for you! You’re a wise woman. My daughter had a very elaborate “birth plan” and let’s just say, the best plans go awry lol
Haha and knowing me it’ll go totally opposite 😂
girl, your makeup 😍 That lipstick suits you so much!!
*my boys are exactly 11 months apart (PCOS here too & after birth you’re definitely the most fertile BTW 😅) & they couldn’t be more opposite of one another - one looks just like my husband, one looks just like me, personality wise they couldn’t differ more - but they are absolute BEST friends & i wouldn’t trade it for the world*

He was born at exactly midnight and 11 seconds. The whole er cheered bc they haven't had a midnight baby in a long time.
You and Zach are gonna be amazing parents ❤ I have four sons and you guys will love being parents to a boy 😊 you’re also my Virgo birthday twin with that being said, I know you won’t miss a beat and you’re gonna be on your a game with motherhood ❤
Once the birth is over… you wonder why you worried… it’s all just beginning!! 🥰💙
Hey Clancy, do what you and Zac think is right , you rock.
I was born with reflux I almost had to have surgery as a baby it was so severe all I did as a baby was scream in pain... Best thing you can do is sleep elevated laying flat makes all that stomach acid come up which makes it tougher during the day they actually make like wedge shaped pillows to help with this, something Id definitely recommend! Pepto is a life saver and tums are safe during pregnancy (of course asknyr doctor first but they do help!) Btw I'm glad you're at peace with everything in life, you're going to be a great mommy and your little boy is very lucky to have you and after such a rough first trimester you DESERVE to be at peace!
Also I think showing him little by little is okay, obviously you're going to be excited and want to share him, especially so it's not so taboo that people go crazy, I just don't think making him the center of your content is needed so I respect that you don't plan on making this a family channel I just don't like the idea of people becoming obsessed with a strangers child where they feel entitled to see him. But I trust your judgement I know you're gonna do what's right for you and your family.💙
I never made a plan with all 3 my first two were in the hospital with epidural. My third was right after lockdown at the start of the pandemic my husband delivered her at home alone and we went to the hospital after it went so fast and he wasn't even allowed in. I'll tell you the natural birth and recovery was so much better then the epidural
Love chatty videos. I've been watching you forever. You're going to be such a good mom ❤
Awww you are so kind! Thank you 🥹❤️
Your body, your birth plan! Don’t let anyone guilt you in what you want! I got the epidural at 2cm. I had back labor which is soooooo painful. I was induced at 40.5 weeks. After 3 days of labor, ended up with a C-section! Don’t plan too much cause it can go out the window fast lol!
Clancy, you look gorgeous in this video 😍
Aww thank you so much!!❤️
Don’t feel bad talking about being excited and not nervous! Yes everything changes but going in looking at the positives isn’t “ignorant”. You know it’ll be hard but being a parent is wonderful and you will be fine!
Hi Clancy! Yes, just you and Zach fir the deluvery. Its such an intimate time. You 2 made this baby and its a orecious, special yime you deserve to have alone. 🩵🩵🩵
My sisters had our mum there and she was a massive help as she has experienced it before
My birth plan: survive.
:)
Being here since the beginning and whatever you decide I will still be here. But I do hope your channel changes to a family one, just because it has changed through every stage of your life.. from graduation to college life, to dating to marriage, and now a mom so I do hope you gives us content from your new chapter and for us to see how you are and your growth and if you really don’t want that, that maybe make another channel where is all about family and the ups and downs of motherhood. I feel like an aunt lol. I hope you do a birth vlog !! Hugs from Fl
Glad for another video!
Thanks for watching!:)
@@ClancyBurkeX ofc! Can I ask you a question please?
Values and doing it by example. Do what you are comfortable and guidance. We change, even when we don't see right away especially if you see someone everyday.
You are GLOWING 😍
Magnesium carbonate helps with reflux. I take it before bed mixed with honey and warm water.
Once again the vlog title always throws me for a loop lol 😂
I had acid reflux when I was pregnant. They had to prescribe me pepcid to take along with over the counter medicine because I could not sleep or eat certain things. Definitely feel your pain there. Going into the birth, I did not make much of a birth plan because I get anxious when plans don't go like I want them to lol It was a good thing too because I ended up having to have a c-section. I never actually went into labor. Had to be induced. Dialated. Undialated. And...yeah, it was an experience. My husband (also a Zack) was AMAZING through the whole process, and I could not have gotten through it as well as I did without him! One thing that I will say is, if it comes to a c-section, advocate to hold your baby once it is done and you are able to. Have fun with it. Third trimester is a whirlwind. I did not find it as "nasuseating" as first, but it was definitely more exhausting! Take lots of nap. Pelvic floor exercises and an exercise ball really helped with some of the pain I was having. Just enjoy the sweet little kicks and movements before your little one enters the world! :) You and Zac are going to be great parents, and I am excited to see y'all on that journey! 🩵
Take the epidural even if they stick it in your eyeball! I remember one day in my 7th month I had the idea I wanted to put on a pair of my pre-pregnancy jeans...It didn't work to say the least.
😂😂
My preference was an unmedicated water birth and thats what i was able to achieve thankfully. It did really help that i dilated really quickly for a first time mum - approx 6 hours from 1cm-10cm (midwives thought i was being dramatic when i was begging them to check me and then they were like oh wow youre at 9.5cm lets get the pool ready) lol. 😅. If id had a long labour i probably would have had to get the epidural as more than anything labour and contractions are EXHAUSTING and if they start at night like mine did then you skip an entire nights sleep and lose so much energy. I just about had the energy left to push him out but had it gone on longer i would have been too tired i reckon so would have needed some kind of assistance. Wishing you the best of luck for your birth!! 🎉🎉
You will be.a good Mother ❤
The lipstick really looks pretty on you !!
Recently Found out I’m pregnant and am a resident doctor in emergency medicine, I’m getting an epidural the minute it’s offered but that’s because of my own personal experience on ObGYN rotations, I feel like sometimes ignorance is bliss because knowing so much about medicine makes me think about every possible scenario 😅 also had a dad almost out in the room seeing the placenta
You should do a video of “baby names we love but won’t be using”!!
With my first, I didn’t go into labor with any plan other than get an epidural as soon as I wanted it. No regrets. I took a labor/birth class so I knew a lot of what was going to go on (I was induced). It all worked out the way I had read it was going to so it was very textbook, I got the epidural when I needed it, and I had a very easy, amazing birth.
With my second, my epidural didn’t work and actually ended up having to be completely turned off so I labored and birthed my second naturally. What I learned is that I definitely really never want to have a baby naturally ever ever ever again. It was awful😂
Hey Clancy, I recently watched a really wonderful birth vlog that I thought u may want to see if you haven’t already! It is one that I think you might want to take in, pretty empowering! XOMaCennaVlogs! Can you please give the brand/shade name of the lipstick you are wearing in this video! Love it bcuz it doesn’t shout “fire truck” red! Thx! 🌹👍🏽
We all have photos in our family photo albums that are photos of us when we were in our baby/toddler years that we see later in life that make us feel uncomfortable. There are some baby photos of me in a bathtub or on a blanket and while I'm sure my parents thought that was cute and all, those are photos that would never be shared online because obviously it would be so embarrassing. I feel lucky not to have been growing up when social media was a brand new thing. I don't think I could handle so much stuff that gets posted online these days. Also, there were lots of bullies in elementary school and I couldn't imagine not getting a break from bullies when I got home. At least when I went on the computer on the weekends, I was able to play games like Links Golf, Myst, Lemmings, Flight Simulator and Magic School Bus Explores The Human Body. Being at home was a nice break from the bullies and I actually dreaded going to school. I remember when Sunday evening was coming at an end, I would look to the beginning of Monday as some impending doom.
AHHH we're talking names now?! I'm such a name nerd!! Yayy!!
Omg you are the cutest!!!
I hope you see this! I try to listen to your podcast and I have a fun idea, have your mom and Gabie’s mom write questions (idk 5-10 each), but the twist is your mom is writing questions for Gabie and her mom for you and y’all don’t know the questions before you record!
My husband and I were the only ones in the delivery room besides medical staff and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. You are very exposed in that moment. I think it is also a special moment for the parents to enjoy, just on their own without an audience.
Clancy i love your videos
The pain is sciatic nerves you get that after you have a baby talk to your doctor about it
3 is a good number for me because I lost my sister & very BEST friend and only sibling to breast cancer in 2005! Changed my life in myriad ways (not for the better.). I would really love to have another sibling for SO many reasons! 😢
I had my baby back in November and i wanted to do an un medicated birth but I ended up taking the epidural, and it was the best decision I made. My labor also ended in an emergency c section
I know Zac doesn’t like reading but it’s very important for the baby
Hi, Clancy! Happy Wednesday and Happy Juneteenth!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙💙🌈🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇👍. Your baby will become famous and the family loves it very much. So, I'll be praying for you.. and everyone in Ohio to be strong and be confident, just like the kid from the movie "The Neverending Story."😊😙💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
You may wanna buy the belly band it helped with pain in my hip and pelvic area from 14 weeks on
Oooh thank you for the rec!!!
i have 3 kids and i wanted them to eat healthy....ha that went out the window xD
Just don’t forget how many creeps are on the internet that spend their whole day looking for pictures and videos of children 😢 don’t give them your children over on a silver platter.
Finally, a comment that understands the dangers of the hidden world behind the internet. It is disgusting to me how many parents know what goes on and continue to showcase their children all for money and views.
Take care ❤ love the q and ❤ have a great week see ya Saturday
I said 2 and had twins! Jokes on me. 😂
Lots of people have “emergency c-sections” because the hospital wants it to be done faster/can charge you more money. Watch ‘The Business of Being Born’ 😅
Would you be able to talk about getting pregnant with an irregular menstruation? Idk if that’s TMI but I also have a irregular period and my Husband want to start trying in the next 6months-1 year and I know with having an irregular period, it can be tricky to track ovulation. 😐 Also, you have the pregnancy glow!! Beautiful 🩷🩷
I used to do RUclips… say good bye to that once you have more than one child 😭😭😭
I definitely would very much encourage your children to read even if they don’t like it 😊
We have had 5 boys and 1 girl, ending with twin boys. You can not plan birth. Every single one of my births was very different. My first two I had no epidural with very long births. My 3rd with an epidural was so much better and my favorite birth. Our 4th had complications 24 hrs into labor, resulting in a needed emergency c-section. The best birth plan is knowing you can't plan childbirth. Film your labor & delivery experience, at least to have for you, even if you don't feel comfortable ever posting any of it online.
I agree with having 2 of the same gender. I had 2 girls 20 months apart and they like most of the same things and hang out quite a bit together 🥰
That’s so sweet 🥹
That’s so sweet 🥹
@@ClancyBurkeX they also love babies so they're going to want to watch your videos with me once baby boy is here, for sure 😊 They like watching Asher!
What lipstick do you use? it looks so good
Look into family vloggers and the danger of having kids online. I follow one person that has a kid and they don’t show the face but for photos they are able to get beautiful pictures for social media.
My sister went in with no plan because but meds because you don’t know what will happen. Her husband and his wife had this very strict birth plan not meds vaginal and she had to have an emergency c-section and it took way to long for the doctor to convince her for a c-section and we are a small town so not a lot of help if she waited. That confirmed my sisters no plan plan
Epidural with my son. I tried to deliver natural birth. You have until 7cm to make your decision. I waited right at 7cm mark and the nurse asked me one last time. In my devilish voice “I WANT IT!!!!” Because I was in so much pain.
With my second son I got a 3D sonogram. The image was so clear compared to the grainy black and white ones. The moment I saw it his name just popped into my head as if that's who he was all along and I had just learned it by looking at his face. If that makes any sense. 3D wasn't available with the first pregnancy but I wish it had been. Anyhoo so happy for you.
Omg that’s awesome!!! We are still sooo undecided haha
I had lower back pain and hip/ glute pain from the second trimester all the way to now(36 weeks) and something that really helped was doing 10 minute stretches before bedtime! I just put into RUclips stretches for lower back pain in whatever trimester I was in and let me tell you it has helped me so so much! Check with your doctor see if it’s safe for you and if it is maybe give it a try!💙
Thank you!! That sounds like it would be super helpful ❤️
Had an epidural. Would do again!
Are you guys planning on going on a baby moon?
No, but we’re going to NY next month for a wedding!
