YAY!!
Very well said, I am so happy for them.
I thought the same, Faith for a girls name.
Faith Leigh ❤
The people that are still watching your channel aren’t “van people” or “cabin people” or “build and create people”. We are “Eamon and Bec people” and we watch because we’re connected to you and your lives. You inspire and are such a comfortable space to be each Sunday and we want to see every aspect of your lives. I think we will be so sad if the baby is not in every single episode. But we also honor your privacy so you do you!
AMEN. well said
Have to disagree here. The kid has no choice, and shouldn't be forced to be seen on the internet by millions of adults.
@@ekim333 yes we honor their privacy. It is their decision for sure.
I agree and suspect the author feels respecting your privacy re Fitz is mandatory of course .. But we will always love to love him as well!
Everything is relative. I'm sure they will loose some (possibly) and gain some. That's just what happens when a channel moves away from "status quo". Their "gamble" with going from vanlife to cabinlife worked out, and im sure this will also.
I followed "la vagabonde" from when they had single digits thousands of subscribers until little after they had their first child. They did nothing wrong but family focus is not for me. But even if they maybe lost me and a few more, they gained substantially more then they lost. They are now around 2 million i think.
No matter what people do in regards to subscribing, its not a reflection on them and their family. Its a reflection of content. Same as if your favorite tv series suddenly changed it formula. Maybe you continue to watch or maybe you don't.
No matter subscritpion status, I'm happy they get to live life as they want themselves, not based on what others want them to do. And even if the channel "tanks" (and i don't think it will), they will still have their family, maybe just different jobs.
Honestly I think the middle name Lee would be very nice and can go very well with lots of different first names!
Also it's gender neutral so could use for a boy or girl
OMG XOXOX
Lee for sure! Could be spelled Leigh too!
As someone who is currently battling breast cancer at 27 and has been worried about the baby timeline post cancer life, this video is so inspiring and gives me so much hope ❤ thank you for sharing 🙌🏻
I wish you a speedy recovery and I know you will beat it
Wishing you light and energy to go through the process!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. We're all here sending you light and energy to boost your healing. i had a breast cancer scare myself. It's so scary. I feel ya sister.
I'm a cancer survivor. Age 19 first time around and 7 times since but nearly 60 and im still here. Sending you so much strength and positive love. You have women world wide ( Australia here) in your corner. You got this. 35:15
Got this gal .sending prayers up for you!! Stay strong kick cancers ass YOU CAN DO THIS
These are some questions to ask to help pick the perfect baby name: Can you see it on their name tag in preschool? Can you see them introducing themselves at a bar in college? Can you see it sitting on their desk as a CEO?
I think it helps you remember that you’re naming an adult, not a child.
I totally agree...PLEASE don't name your baby some outlandish crazy name...that's what nicknames are for 😊👍😊
And no weird spelling, otherwise it is a lifetime of having to spell it out all the time!
That’s why I cringed when they said Bear 😅 Shane Dawson also had Bear as a possibility baby boy name. I don’t get that one. Such a baby nickname name
Exactly!! I know a kid named King (last name Arthur) and I cringe just thinking about adult him having to introduce himself in a business meeting or something.
TRUTH!
I almost burst into tears when Bec said that she was excited to see what her child teaches her. What a wonderful response and SO TRUE. You are going to be wonderful parents
Faith might be a name to consider 🤗
Eamon at 10:50 being like "yea adhd is a superpower sure but I wish i could like read and write. and spell." is the most relatable neurodivergent statement I've ever heard. so glad I went down a youtube rabbit hole instead of focusing on my paperwork haha thanks adhd
You'll bring light to the darkest day! Call him/her Sunny! :) Happy for you guys
So happy for you both. As an attorney for more than 30 years and running across all sorts of names of other attorneys and clients, this is something I have given a lot of thought. I suggest that you consider not only what this baby name will be but how it will come across as an adult if they want to be taken seriously. So many names are cute for babies and kids but not so cute as an adult which is going to be the majority of the baby's life. Plus, ease of spelling and not just something funky that will always be misspelled is a consideration. Best luck from Texas!
ease of spelling i think is very important! my husbands name was misspelled on important documents when he migrated here as a baby and that one mistake has given him so many problems during his citizenship process as an adult but he has also had it misspelled on school documents where it unenrolled him one semester and it was a whole problem. something i personally never thought of before then
It’s okay lol, let people spell their names how they want to, how else would we create change? Just because you feel uncomfortable spelling doesn’t mean others should. 😊
So true. My kids all have names that would sound good with “the honourable” in front of it but that also have cute nicknames for when they’re little. Like Theodore (Teddy) or Katherine (Katie). Disclaimer: not my actual kids’ names. 😅
Amen to that!
@kathypoppitt1131 I totally agree. My father gave me a very unusual name I’m now in my 60’s all my adult life I always have to spell my name even though it’s very easily spelt as it’s exactly how it’s pronounced no one ever gets it right.
The second trimester is usually the fun part - the pregnancy is well established, you feel better, you’re not yet uncomfortably heavy. Enjoy!
I LOVED the 2nd trimester. I felt so good and then you start showing and feeling the baby kick. Its a magical time.
Thank you!! I’m looking forward to it! Just rounding the corner of feeling “better” or so I hope 🤞🏼
This is the first time I've heard you guys talk about ADHD. As Eamon was saying that he hopes the child gets the ability to focus from you, I could see the pain in his body. While I had always suspected he has ADHD, that moment solidified it for me. I relate to that viscerally. Both myself and my partner have ADHD so the struggle is real but I know that we would make wonderful, loving, creative and curious parents. Love to you both!
He mentions that he has it quite often throughout their videos, I think he has ADD though.
ADD. not. ADHD
Your pothos need to be trimmed back to the pot
ADD is a term that's no longer widely used by the community. ADHD is the current term, they are the same disorder.@@user-ii8ev5bp8g
I love love love all your videos, I’m 84 years old and I look forward to hearing and seeing everyone of them. Thank you very much . Congratulations on your upcoming baby. ♥️
I am surprised that you wouldn't even mention a girls name of Trinity, it is a beautiful name, it has such symbolic history for you as well. Trinity Lee would be such a fitting name for a little girl coming home with you.
I'm thinking Trinity as middle name would work better. Differentiate from the van.
People will watch you because of your personality. It doesn't matter if it's van life or baby videos. We're just so excited that you're having a baby We can't wait to watch that journey
Yes, of course! We like your content, and you are still here, so we are also 😊😊
Kodiac for a boy. Nick name could be Kodi bear
Your so right we love you guys because of you being you not cause u only did van life. 😂 We got yalls back always have always will!! Bless you 2/½
I started watching for van life but somehow, somewhere, along the way, you became almost friends. I cry when you cry and smile when you smile😊 I think you both are wonderful and amazing and I cannot think of anyone more suited for parenthood ❤ Thank you for bringing on this amazing journey ❤
Yes yes yes “ageing is a privilege“!
thank you for voicing this again. just went through similar as you, cancer battles for my precious mom and grandma then I got pregnant. I feel the words you use. People tell me “babies wreck your body” and I’m like wow you don’t understand what a privilege it is to have a baby “wreck” your body. Sending love ❤
"We have to be fluid with it all" (34:31) pretty much sums up parenting. And you are 100% correct about listening to your intuition. You will know what's right for your little one and you will work it out. "Firm but fair with a lot of love" has always been my mantra. You two have this in spades 😘.
I think Willow is a beautiful name and just matches you guys’ vibe. ❤
That was my second choice. Brooke was my first. lol
You completely shocked me when you said no middle names! I thought for sure you'd be using Lee as a middle name as it fits for both a boy or a girl. Whatever the case may be I am soooo happy for you guys!! Lots of prayers and good thoughts being sent your way. Be blessed!
I'm shocked about not wanting a middle name but just as shocked that everyone is suggesting Lee... way toooo common!
I had the exact same thought!! One of the first things that went through my head.
@@BellaBme it’s because they had a very close friend who passed away named Lee.
My grand daughter’s name is “Scout” and I love it. It suits her so much! Think about it!
My daughter's name! So I agree it is a beauty! xx
We are so happy for you guys. We’ve been following for years and it’s been amazing to see your journey unfold. You’re going to be wonderful parents! Congrats 💕
Bec taking a selfie with Bear and saying how much she loves him and then looking at him in her garden made me LOL. Such a cute moment ❤️
I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant after trying for 7 years. I am so grateful to be on this motherhood /parenthood journey with you. ❤
Congrats❤
Congratulations so glad for your wonderful news!!!!?🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👣👣💝🍼🍼🍼
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations!! ❣️
congrats!
Happy Birthday Bec! Hope you had a blessed day and many, many more. ☺️🎂❤️🎉
Awh this is just so wonderful you guys! So happy for you both! Becoming a parent is truly the most special and magical gift in life🙌🏼✨❤
Hey guys! Congrats by a watcher of several years! :). Just some personal thought about how much the kid is involved in the channel. Please PLEASE I cannot stress this enough keep your child's info as secure as possible. Don't share their face after they start developing their features, don't share their name (maybe have a nickname for them on the channel), please keep them away from your videos. As much as sharing your child with your watchers is fun the family channel formula can cause a lot of issues for the child as they grow up. It can turn unintentionally explotative very fast and every child deserves privacy and to fully understand the ramifications of being on the internet before they consent to it. You can absolutly share your side of the experince but heavily consider how it could impact your child with what you share and what you don't. I trust you guys but just warning you to be careful, hopefully you are already researching this topic. Luv u guys!!
Yes, yes, yes to all of this! Kids can NOT give informed consent on these things, so it's up to the parents to protect them. Please look into the dangers of kids on RUclips/social media etc!
And please be aware that there is a significant community out there that collects pics/videos of children in - at first sight - harmless situations, but they comment on them in a very specific direction. If the pedo* community will ever get your child’s content, there is no way to ever get it offline again. It’s not just about (half-) naked kids but any situation that can be interpreted in a 🤢🤮 way.
In Germany some content creators talked about it during the last couple of months. Some family influencers finally took their kids entire out of their content.
With both my pregnancies I felt "its a boy!". Had dreams of a little baby boy in my arms. I would see them in my dreams playing in their little overalls in the yard. I even had boy names picked out both times. Both times I couldn't settle on a girls name. I felt SO STRONGLY in my soul I was having a boy, BOTH times. I have two girls. LOL!!!
Are they tomboys? Funny btw
Me too!
Hahah I was exactly the same! Even had various people through both pregnancies come up and tell me they sensed it was a boy!
Nice paGency Really they don't teach tbere kid or kid Lin see s that was the filming lies esp. ther teaching Bible
Baby girl Chai
I LOVE U BOTH, IM SO EXCITED FOR UR NEW JOURNEY !!!! And to see how everything plays out with ur future plans and see little bec/ little eamon!! So happy for u guys!
you guys are going to be the most beautiful parents and i am beYONd overjoyed for y’all❤
My Dad died about two and half months before our Daughter was born , he felt her kick and chose her name , Rebecca . She likes to be called Becca , her middle name is Tamsin , a Cornish name . Huge congratulations to you both , what great parents you will be ♥️
As a mother of 4 bio children, adopted 2 while they were in high school and fostered 21 kids while my kids were growing up, I have 16 grandchildren and it's amazing. I also delivered babies for a living. The entire experience is unique to every child. You two are looking at this in such a positive and beautiful way. You two are going to be amazing parents. Can't wait to meet the baby.
Thank you for sharing your incredible experience. ♥ ☺
We have a Harriet and Rachel.
Love your style of q&a's with all the doing and moving about at the same time ❤
Y’all deserve all of this may you stay safe and the babies born healthy. I’m so happy for you.
I ALWAYS celebrate getting older! I got T1D (aka juvenile diabetes) when I was 8. At 21, after having my 1st child, I was told I wouldn't live long enough to see his high school graduation. He's 38 now and I'm 59; every birthday is a joyful occasion for me! Enjoy getting older.
Did you get that diagnosis before reproducing?
Okay- love the name Willow for a girl- Willow trees are incredibly strong and resilient and stand firm through the storm. Sounds a lot like Mom and Dad ❤️
Journey for a boy- because what a hell of a journey y’all have had so far. Storey for a girl. Love a lot of your names on the list! Side note- not sure if there is reincarnation- but if so- I’d like to come back as Oso. Dude is living his best life! Congratulations again to you guys! Wishin you a smooth pregnancy, an easy delivery and a lifetime of health and happiness- Signed- a Mom of all boys (x5) ❤️
Beautiful
I’m just so happy seeing you guys so happy!
I think you two are going to be wonderful intuitive parents. I’ve been watching for awhile and y’all just love people, love learning and creating and you look to others when you need knowledge you don’t have. It’s kinda wonderful that’s why I’m still here after van life. So happy for you!
This is so off topic, but I didn’t know Eamon has ADHD. I recently got diagnosed and finding out people that I admire for their success, work ethic, creativity, (all things affected by our brains) gives me so much hope and joy. Thank you for sharing!
Also MAJOR congratulations!
Awe I’m so glad that Eamon represents all of those things to you! Yes, he was diagnosed as a kid and is very clearly ADD but also an amazing example of someone who has learned to channel those traits for good!
Not surprised. His energy is off the charts. As to names, just be very careful, that little person has to like it too.
i knew it!!! i got diagnosed a few years ago and after awhile there’d be eamon says or does and im like there’s no way he’s neuro typical hahahahahah i love him
As an ADHD'er myself I big agree with this! It was really easy early on to get myself down about the way my brain works but it truly can be our superpower, we just have to learn to work in ways that work for us. Eamon is an amazing example 💙
I also have ADHD as well as my oldest son. For me, it's been a super power raising 4 boys. I have tons of natural energy, and it helped me channel it all in managing all their schedules, appts, sports stuff and keeping all the chores done. We don't take meds, instead we channel it into being productive. I feel that too many people r given meds, when all they need to do is learn how to use it in fun and useful ways. Thank u for sharing that Eamon 💓
As a child of a teacher, when Bec said "and I just couldn't care less" , I died and went to heaven to say "did you hear that????" to my mother. 😂😂
I think your kid chose the best parents ❤❤
Tully is cute for a girl. Or Nala. Big congrats to you both!!
Pet peeve! I love your mom!
Y’all are so sweet and loving. It is always so nice and refreshing to watch your content! Thank you for sharing so much of your lives.
100% of parent will just come naturally for y’all, so no worries about not having it all figured out yet. No one does, and honestly I personally loved having my mom to reference, but also loved figuring my bambino’s out on my own too. I say you are already smashing parenthood. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Oh my goodness. I'm so excited for you both. Can't wait to see you with your baby. Amazing news. You both looks so happy
I know this was a very baby-related video (duh!) but I just want to say how much I appreciate Eamon's candid thoughts on losing inspiration after some of the challenges of travelling. I travelled for a year, and it was amazing and incredible, but it was also very challenging and I often felt guilty near the end knowing how excited I was for mundane things like having all your bathroom gear at your sink, instead of fishing through a bag every single day for every little thing. It's nice to hear that these are common experiences, and that your travel goals can change.
I’ve watched you guys for 10 years now. Literally from the start. I’ve just had my first baby 8 months ago so I’m so honoured to watch you two beautiful humans transition into the most beautiful time in your life. You two deserve everything good in this world and I truly pray you get just that 🤍🤞🏼
I named my daughter “Rielle-Amor” (like Gabrielle but no gab!) means gift of love.... after 2 ectopics and 1 tube removed! So happy for you both. Maybe we have to go through tough times so our girls can say their Mumma is one strong Mumma 💚
27:59 Bec your answer to this question about unsolicited advice is so wonderful! Your intuition and gut will never be better than it is when you’re pregnant & after!! It’s the best feeling, so happy for y’all!
Bec, watching you survive cancer was an incredibly emotional journey to witness. Watching you now pregnant, vibrant, with SO much vitality is even more emotional to watch - I am crying the happiest tears for you. The amount of hope and gratitude your entire being radiates is absolutely moving beyond words. You were a bright light before your journey with illness, you continued to shine through it even in the darkest times, and now on the other side you are RADIANT and beaming like never before. Thank you for sharing this journey with the world - just in doing so you are serving so much medicine to those who need it. You are a beacon of HOPE! I vote that you name the baby Hope. You and Eamon are going to be the best parents, and your baby is going to be loved beyond words.
Awe thank you thank you for this very sweet and thoughtful message ❤❤❤❤
Honestly, you shared everything I was thinking and feeling. ❤ You will be amazing no matter what and trust you’ll name this baby perfectly and listen to your heart. If it were me, Lee for a middle name …also like Logan, Oakley, Raven, Grace. And lol - hate to break it to you but being a Mama to two teens and two dogs, a kid is definitely not easier than a dog. 😂 Nevertheless, you got this! Your intuition is already serving you. Love you two so much. ❤
Alba.
@@eamonandbec try the name Beckham or beckhom its both your names together
I think Sailing LaVagabonde has really the best balanced combination of showing their lives on YT since having Darwin and Lenny, who I fondly call my DarLens... I don't think you all will have any problems! 💜💙💜💙💜
I totally agree!! Total role models for so so many reasons!!
Yes I agree.
@@eamonandbec CRAZY WHY PARENTS WANT TO EXPOSE THERE CHILDREN AFTER SEEING WHAT COULD HAPPEN!!! HOPE YOUR PREPARED FOR THE WEIRDOS TO COME OUT!!! AS YOU SAID YOU'LL LEARN AS YOU GO OH AN YOU HAVE GUT INSTICTS WELL HOPE THAT GUT KEEPS YOUR BABY SAFE!!! GOOD LUCK YOU'LL NEED IT
@@fogwyg6366 Seriously, what could happen? What makes it any different from living in the real world? Your children are at risk no matter what. The odds of a child being in any "situation" usually comes from within the friend/family circle. Stop being a negative Nancy and just appreciate the news. That is, unless YOU are one of the weirdos?!
Yes! They have kids, but they don't focus on the kids.
This is so exciting and we in our household feel amped for you like you are a family member, this is the happiest of things 🎉
Happy Birthday, what a difference this year. so special x
My guess. Fox is the boy name you’re considering.
I hope I can get through these videos someday without crying happy tears. I love to see you both as parents. So exciting 💛💛💛
Fox Fitzgerald.
Fox is also the name of RUclips's Jake Mace & Nicole's baby boy.
I was thinking Wolf, but Fox would be good.
Fox was my guess too! I think it sounds good with Fitzgerald.
Grizzly Fitzgerald could work lol
After watching La Vagabonde for years, i really don't see an issue with raising your kids around cameras as long as there's nothing 'posey' about it! My family took handy-cams everywhere when we were kids and it so nice to watch those videos back now! :) I think as long as a parents don't let the kids in on the 'success' or 'fame' aspect of being on RUclips, it can be treated as just documenting lovely memories ♥️
It's a double-edged sword. I had some issues when I was a kid and random people my parents knew would somehow know me. Also, those videos were likely only shared with you and maybe close family or friends. With 1.2 million people, these videos (and the kids) are being shown to many people who don't "know" them. I hope Eamon and Bec use some privacy for the little one that has no consent to being shown.
Your workshop is gorgeous!!! So impressive!
I'm so excited for you both. Just ran across your page yesterday. And you both are amazing and so strong. Bless you both
Bec I had my daughter at age 33 also. So many of my friends had children before me and I wondered if 33 was too late. But now at 41, she’s 8, and I’m glad we waited because my daughter has the best version of me I could give.
So as you move along this pregnancy trust your gut! You’re at an age (and especially after defeating cancer) where you’re your best self.
The only tip I have is to get a great pediatrician that will respond to texts or emails immediately. Trust your gut and trust your pediatrician! Everyone’s opinions especially the old wives tales are moot points.
Me too, had at 34, wasn’t planning babies or marriage, but life had other plans. All went well, healthy and graduating college with double degrees next May 💪
That is so perfectly said!!! I know I'm a better grandmother than I was a mother because of experience and wisdom.
Love that, beautiful thought. TCT at 35 right now and struggeling with the age thing..
As someone who was homeschooled for all 12 grades... I can vouch for the fact that homeschooling does not equal unsocialized! It's all about creating your community and investing in it, which you guys already do so well!!
For names.... I think Izzy would be so cute for a girl!!
Louder for those in the back.... this is the worst repeated myth about homeschooled kids. I have 4, all homeschooled, and they're the most social kids on the planet. They play soccer, are involved at our church, have friends of all ages, and are super outgoing. Best of all, we are not bound by teaching only certain subjects and can let their interests guide their studies. Now that mine are teens and teens, it's so nice to see how amazing homeschool has really been for them.
O and loved the tube this week.such a complete day to day .yallll Nailed It😉
soooo.... happy for you bec and eamon! continued blessings. 🕊
Put a lock on your basment hatch. Babies can figure out how to open everything and you dont want someone precious falling through a hole in the floor.
I think they have a while before they need to do that. It's not even born yet let alone mobile.😅
I'm sure they already know this. It'll be a long time before they have to worry about that 😂
I love this advice, and especially because if it was someone not precious.. then let ‘em go lol
Also get ready for lots of unsolicited advice 😊
Wish you guys all the best, momma’s intuition will serve you well to handle all that’s coming your way. Btw, I think it’s a boy,lol. Top boys name “ Wolf( Wolfie) ❣️
“I want to see what the baby teaches me”…that is the BEST answer to that question. ❤ You will be fabulous parents! Congratulations and enjoy this new chapter in your life. You are both such wonderful people and you’ll raise an amazing little person.
Baby absolutely has his/her own opinion on what kind of sounds help out it to sleep, what bottles or milk work best, pacifiers, swaddlers, movement for soothing…even diapers, wipes and diaper cream. We went into it researching everything and picked “the best products”. Most of which my first baby didn’t like or it didn’t work for her. We had our second thinking, we been through it once and would be all set. Nope, she also had her own needs, and preferences.
You guys just are just wonderful souls! So happy for you :)
I’m so excited for you two to be parents!!! You will be great! And Bec being a mom is just the best. Also I stared my family at 33 and now we have two amazing daughters and it’s just the best!
One of the many reasons I watch your channel is your authenticity, AND that your thumbnails are not clickbait and you don't drag your videos on and on. I unsubscribe from those that do otherwise. And, once again, congratulations on the growing family. This lucky baby was wise to choose you! ❤
Forgot to add that I like the name Scout for either a boy or girl:)😉
I feel so touched by your story, having gone through cancer and now pregnant. I tap into your story and I say God bless you.
We're here for it. Traveling or not, y'all are such a positive point of my day so please keep sharing what you do. I'm the same age as you (mom of 5) so I love watching the shift into motherhood! Plus, I always learn from other moms and enjoy seeing how others parent....we can always learn
Rewatching this waiting for the next haha love this channel
As a mother of 5, I think I’m qualified to say you will be surprised to see how much of the baby clap- trap you really DON’T need! It’s actually easier to care for baby and home without the clutter of gadgets and furniture you use a few times and then almost give away at a garage sale. You two have a pretty darn good handle on this already. 🤗👍👍👶🏼🙏👏🏻👏🏻
I agree. It also drives me crazy to see when parents pack for the hospital as if they're going on a 2 week trip. You'll never use 99% of the stuff you packed. You'll never use 75% of the fancy gadgets you get at the shower. Most of the clothes will be outgrown within the first month. Go simple, go minimalistic!
Amen. So true
My thought, too, that they’re already pretty minimalist. But the excitement of first time parents can sometimes carry people away. And you know what, that’s okay, too. I’m about to have my third kid and I’m honestly a little sad that I’m not *more* excited about all the baby gear. Now I’m all about logistics: transporting 3 kids on foot, in the car, sleeping arrangements, fitting us around the dining table, etc.
People need to start buying onesies in assorted sizes and diapers in larger sizes for baby showers. This newborn purchase spree does no good for most, since babies grow so quickly and the hospital provides a lot of newborn supplies to start parents out.
I full heartedly agree with this, everyone tried to tell me i needed all these ridiculous things (well they were to me) and most of those people barely used those “must have” items. I saved my money.
Your name list has me cracking up! My boyfriend's name is Kodiak, we have a dog named after Bowie (we call him Ziggy) and my cat's name is Ollie. So clearly, y'all have great name taste! 💜😂 Congratulations you two! 🎉
This is so exciting for you guys!
Also, as I’m about to have a birthday, I appreciate you talking about celebrating getting older!
There is NO better experts on your life or on your pregnancy and forthcoming baby, then you and Eamon! 💕💕
Bec I'm really moved by this. Growing old is a privilege and we need to celebrate it more. Congrats making it another orbit around the sun.
The best parenting advice I ever got was to welcome the changes. If that’s things around your house, your day to day or who you are as people. These changes are what makes you a family and are all good things even if they don’t seem like it in the moment. You guys are going to be amazing parents and have such a beautiful family.
Love you guys! You're going to be amazing parents!
My bestfriend was raised vegitarian until the age of like 11, and can confirm he is not harmed in anyway by eating vegitarian all that time. He will now drink cow milk, and have meat occassionally, but it is way less meat consumption then I do. Dont let people tell you how you should feed your baby, as long as they are fed is what is important. The baby will grow up to make thier own choices and you two will be wonderful guides
We are about to have our first grandchild, a granddaughter, in two months. Her name will be more traditional-Aubrey. So watching our daughter go through pregnancy, and remembering when I was pregnant, totally get some of these questions, and even answers.
I will say that I have a friend who, many years ago, had cancer. She fought, thankfully came out on the other end, and is still with us. She calls her birthdays her “get to be’s”. She said it’s because she gets to be the next age. May we all have fabulous get to be’s and celebrate the fact that we get to be another year older! 💗
Without getting to personal. I think the same damn way! And it’s so reassuring to know I’m not the only one.
There is a line of kids' books called "Nerdy Babies" that closes with the line "Stay curious babies, there is more to learn about everything." We have one on weather, space, transportation, etc. Eamon will love them.

So thrilled for you both! I don’t comment much; but I have a 37 yr old daughter that has stage 4 endometriosis ( the worst pain) & several surgeries! She is unable to get pregnant 😢. So… when I heard last video of your EXTRAORDINARY news I started to cry for Joy! Congratulations Again!❤️🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
I have tried to alter the above comment, but it will not let me. I just want to change the fit word to rid
I am sooo happy for the both of you!! ❤
Trent & Allie do a great job including their growing family without making it a focus of their channel. I started following because I liked their travel, building, and personalities. Just like with y’all!
@KELS12 so are you shaming those moms who have to go back to work within the first year? It's not like she is away from him all day. She works at home. She has a sitter so she doesn't have to have an eye on him 24/7. She is still with him most of the day!
Better to see Leo then listen to Trent mansplaining everything. 😂
It’s amazing how your body adjusts when it has to. I had only one breast that worked for feeding my babies. I had four children and every time I had plenty of milk. So if you have one breast that works, don’t worry it’ll be all good. ❤ so excited for y’all. Good luck. 😊
As a mainly plant based Mama, I did the exact same thing! I have 2 kids and let them make their own, informed decisions. My daughter is a vegetarian while my son eats mostly vegetarian, but will eat meat as well. I tell them everyone is different and that’s what makes the world perfect. There is no one size fits all.
that's great!
U 2 are beautiful! So very happy for you!!!! U can’t imagine the joy we feel for you, happy4 you! Praying for. U❤❤❤
You guys are going to make great parents ❤️ I've been falling you guys for years and I have been waiting for this hahaha!
I'm watching this while holding my 5 week old baby boy Noah. As first-time parents, we are so happy you guys get to experience this journey ❤️
My grandma only had one breast that she could produce from because of a tumor she had when she was little, and she was able to produce enough for my mom! No pressure, of course, but I think it’s so awesome that it worked for them! Good luck Bec! You’re going to be THE BEST MOM! ❤
So happy for you both! Love the videos! What’s the new upload schedule?! Checking every Sunday and need me some new videos to watch! Lol love you guys
I just love you guys so much❤ So happy to see you in this journey and everything that comes with it.
Also, try prenatal gummies. So much easier to get down!! And taste great too! Wishing you all the love and excited for the next update❤❤❤
I was 33 when I got pregnant with my son and turned 34 during my pregnancy. It was the beginning of me liking my birthday again because I knew every birthday from then my son would be with me and that just made it fun and exciting again like it was when I was a kid. I'm so happy for you both and your family. Happy birthday and next year your baby with be outside your body joining in on the fun, but for now they will be enjoying their build pool and all the sounds they can hear from inside. I still think that is the coolest thing. My son still reacts to songs he listened to when I was pregnant with him. It's the cutest.
As a young adult who was homeschooled my whole life, I’d have it no other way. I was able to see so much more of the US because we could travel during the off season, and I was able to make friends from all over the place. I think there is a right way and a wrong way to do things, but being involved with my community was never something I lacked. And I had a completely personalized education which was amazing.
I know tons of homeschoolers and all are very socialized and most interact with adults and seniors better than other kids.
So nice to see someone who has been home schooled and says how good it was I home school all my children 😊
I find homeschooling quite sad and strange for some reason, but none of us know any other way
I homeschool mine and we absolutely love it! We have zoo and aquarium memberships and we go when everyone else is at school & work and have the whole place to ourselves. Same with parks, museums, historical sites, national parks, etc. They take classes and make friends of ALL ages absolutely everywhere they go. They’re the least socially awkward kids I know. Right now there on break so they’re at grandmas house on the ranch helping grandpa with his irrigation lines and helping their older cousin build fence, in between they ride horses and swim in the creek. They’re living the good life that’s for sure!
@@jinamg247 I mean it sounds nice but kids at school go on excursions to museums and zoos anyway; maybe it means less time with peers and more time spent with older people and adults. Empty zoos sounds kind of depressing...But the main thing with homeschooling is these days a lot of women have to work go back to work full time and so can't do it anyway
Longtime watcher, first time commenter! You probably won’t see this but wanted to leave my little seed of positivity and love for you guys, as I know the Universe will get it to you some way or another.
I absolutely love your content, always have. My wife and I are trying for a baby right now so Bec, being pregnant really resonates with me and makes me so genuinely happy, I could cry! Thank you for everything you share and for your honesty, you guys have heart of gold and I know you’re going to make amazing parents, just as you are amazing humans. May you both and baby be happy, at peace of mind, centred, content and healthy for all years to come.
I’ll be cheering you on on this exciting journey!
Peace!
So excited to see how happy you are. Your love for each other, for Oso, for your baby is contagious. You are spreading good karma into the world and the world has given it back with your good health and this joyous stage of life. Parenthood is a journey that is ever changing as your child changes and needs different things from you. You have the right attitude and will adapt with your child. ❤❤🎉
I do love the name Hope for a girl because of your journey and Phoenix for a boy. A Phoenix is known to raise from the darkness and ashes. Both just seem so symbolical of your journey so far! I'm so so happy for both of you and have been humbled by following along on all your journies
I know you're good friends with Trent & Allie. I watch all of their videos too and I think they do a good job of incorporating their son, Leo, into the videos without making it a baby channel. I'm confident you guys will just go with the flow and figure it out as you go. Just keep being real is all we ask and expect.
Love to see KHSC in a positive light. Loved being in those rooms seeing picture's of our 3 kids... we live in Kingston and love following everything you do. You both got me through COVID... love driving around this area and thinking, Eamon & Bec have been there! My wife is a nurse at KHSC :)
I LOVED this style of video. Most of the time I get bored with question and answers. This was super fun and organic looking!
Just caring about being a good parent is half the battle. Yall are good folks, youll be great parents!
My son has ADHD, and very intelligent, I’ve ALWAYS told him he has to use his super powers for good! My pick for the baby’s name is Lily, love that name
Im so happy for you guys , you are the most optimistic people on the planet, when bec found out she was cancer free my sister was diagnosed with a tumor in her head and watching you guys made me just so much more hopeful , so watching your videos with my sick sister is making me and her so much happier, so thank you, for putting a smile on her face ❤ love you guys❤
💕Happy Baby whoever they are. 💕Love your channel and so thrilled for you both💕
