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!
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.
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 🙌🏻
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
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. 😅
@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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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 ❤
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!
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!
"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 😘.
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.
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. ❤
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 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.
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. ♥️
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!
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 💓
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.
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 ❤
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.
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 ❤❤
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 fellow December baby mama I just want to say I am so excited for you. You are going to be amazing parents. A baby is the most emotional, beautiful and fulfilling thing that can ever happen in life. You deserve this!
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) ❤️
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 🤍🤞🏼
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 💪
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 💚
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.
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.
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
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 💛💛💛
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! ❤
I have an 8 month old and it has been the greatest experience of my life and unfortunately the unsolicited advice never ends I am so happy for you guys just trust your gut because you’ll know what to do
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.
“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.
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.
Congratulations to you both. The only advice I ever give new parents is that they know what is best for their baby. As far as negative comments go, these people hate themselves and lash out because of this. People that matter dont mind and people who do mind dont matter. Bright Blessings.
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! 💗
I have to say, I think Eamon is a lucky man. Bob seems so amazing… Not only am I excited to see y’all grow with a child but I can’t wait to see Bob with a grandchild and how it changes everyone’s lives.
Bobby would be the cutest name for a girl!! You could call her B for short!! BABY BOBBY B ❤❤❤ she will have your adventurous spirit, creativity, and kindness!!
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! 🎉
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.
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
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!
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! 💜💙💜💙💜
@@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?!
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 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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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! ❤
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
Eamons curiosity and amazing creativity, is the best kind of ADHD! As someone with ADHD I love watching Eamon because he reminds me of me, but he is thriving at life and its so nice to see someone who has what I have, living a life that suits his personality and allows him to be extraordinary rather than having a career and life that is a struggle to conform to and stunts creativity. I love watching you both and I just love to see the positive representation.
i dont know why but when you showed Bec last year birthday looking sick with cancer i started crying because this is the biggest proof of how fast life is and one year u are near death and next year u are lucky and fully healthy. So biggest reminder to live at fullest today because today u are lucky to be living breathing healthy! I am aslso so so happy for Bec, last year i was dreading to see your next video to not hear any worst news, and this year she is healthy and has a bean
Parent from you HEART. So many new moms get tied up in pregnancy books and “what you should do” vs. what you feel is right. I felt so beautiful when I was pregnant. My daughter is grown and married and I wish I could do it all over again ❤ I nursed her for 2 1/2 years and I didn’t want to quit but she did! Now we’re waiting for grandbabies! (someday 😂)
I was also a “Softy” when I raised my daughter.. she is now 27 and turned out to be the most kind, caring, and all around good person… just as you are Eamon! Nothing wrong with that! 💕
so I usually don't make comments on videos, because alot of people like to disagree just to start crap. In Sept of 2019 mom was diagnosed with cancer, in that time especially as the disease was progressing, your videos have become a must watch, just to provide a few moments of levity. Watching not just the old videos but waiting every other day for the next new one has become a main stay, especially now that she's passed on. I applaud you both on keeping positive vibes throughout your trials. I want to thank you and the rest of the content makers on the RUclips.
I knew I was having a boy, twice. Now 37 & 39. No one knows what kind of a parent they will be, or what they know or believe they will do until the situation happens. If you have a premature baby, you too may become a softie. I know you both will be great parents, and I bet Eamon will be a softie.
my mom had me at 36 & my brother at 38! it’s never to late to be a momma! she’s my bestfriend and i have learned so much from her, i plan to have kids later in life as well! enjoy my youth & be stable before bringing a light into the world ❤
While I cheered you on as you kicked cancers ASS, I’m so extra excited & thrilled to watch you and Eamon grow, welcome and become parents to this bundle of joy 🥰 You so both deserve this happiness! ♥️😘
Our daughter is named Chaiya which means ‘Life’! We travelled to Mexico with her when she was 7 weeks in our old ‘76 VW & got to know ourselves as a new family for the first 6 months. She is also a late December baby and we wanted to get out of the Canadian winter as well. Congrats and excited for you guys entering this next chapter in life. 🤗
My mom’s name was Evelyn, and everyone called her “Eb.” She was the strongest, funniest and smartest woman I have ever known. Y'all are going to be the best parents!!!
My paternal grandmother's name was Margaret Evelyn and she went by Evelyn. She was one of the kindest, wisest, STRONGEST women I've ever known! I wish I had spent more time with her. I miss her very much. 💟
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!!!
I think I may love this video even more than the announcement video. Now that you’ve been cleared and reached 15 weeks you can tell there is just sheer joy and elation. I’m so thrilled you get to just enjoy this journey and season of your lives now!!!! You’re going to be amazing parents!
The moment I saw the pregnancy test, I swore I was having a boy as well. Didn't even think of girl names... My daughters name is Lily Sky ❤😂 I am so excited for you guys. Having a baby is so much fun! ❤
I like that Eamon mentioned Floyd. Our son is the most curious person I know and his name is Flynn 😊 His twin sister is Amy. Our older daughter is named after the Kimberleys in Australia where we met xx
I can’t tell you how many times I say to friends, trust your instincts (gut), they’ll NEVER let you down! And as my husband’s grandmother said when I had my only child, “babies come with instructions”! So true, as you’ll quickly learn. 😊❤
It warms my heart and brings me to be teary eyed just seeing how happy the both of you are. If any one in this world deserves this kind of happiness it's both of you! You both are going to be such loving parents. The love you have for your little baby is just so heartwarming. Bec no one deserves this happiness more than you. What you have been through this past year is so beyond terrible. I am 67 just recently diagnosed with the same breast cancer as you. My journey is just beginning. But watching all that you have accomplished after has inspired me. Your strength and wonderful attitude is what was shining through to all of us. I wish for so much good and happiness in the time to come. You both deserve this happiness.
Eabecmon!!?? For a name for baby!! ❤😊 I'm so happy for you Eamon and Bec!! Thank you for sharing! Continued prayers and love for you all!❤😊😊 I just found out recently that my sister has breast cancer and is scheduled for removal of the breast surgery, so always in my prayers to all my family, friends, and loved ones!
I love how much you say you’ll have to wait and see when deciding how you’ll parent and what you’ll do. When babies come, they change everything!😂In the best way, of course, but there’s just no predicting. It’s all such an adventure of discovery. Congrats!❤
Bec I want you to know there is no shame with being pregnant. I believe what you are feeling has arose from the nurse in the Hospital that told you “This isn’t the right time for a baby” during your Cancer scare. Know this sweetheart, you are a strong compassionate woman who doesn’t have to feel ever that she is less than! The bigger picture is the both of you have been given a gift, and this gift is life. Bec, you are so loved!! ❤❤❤
Crazy to see how far you guys have come, I have been watching for longer than I would like to admit and cannot wait to watch this new chapter unfold. Congrats again guys and all the best with you bundle of 😊 ❤
As someone who is moving from Toronto to Cape Breton Island so that my son can grow up with my parents close by I think moving back to Toronto is going to be so great for you guys
Good morning my favorite parents to-be! Me and my boyfriend find alot of inspiration watching your videos. thankyou for taking us through your life journey through these years!
"Thanks for your advice, we will definitely think about that!" This is the phrase that saved me from all the baby advice coming from well-meaning family and friends. Some of it is helpful, some not what you might want, so that phrase lets you think about it all and use or discard it as you see fit. Wishing you the best!
It’s fun watching your pregnancy vids. I found out recently that I am pregnant, for the second time! I miscarried my first pregnancy. Needless to say I can’t help but be a little nervous and I’m trying to keep a sound mind. “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but I’d love, power, and a sound mind.” Watching your videos is encouraging and I am happy to be on this journey with Bec at the same time!
Miscarried the first also, more common than people know. Second took and she’s great. Such a good kid, heart of gold, funny, smart and beautiful. Blessed.
A trait that I noticed in Eamon a long time ago that I can SO appreciate is his knowledge and love of building/fixing/constructing/snake handling(just found out) and creative healthy cook. As well the two of you have that great sense of adventure so cheers to you both the more the merrier!!🎉👶😀🐶💕😘
I'm so excited and happy you are sharing this journey with us! I have raised my children and now my kids are fur babies. I have two Boston Terrors (Terriers...lol) that are my loves. One is named Oliver (we call him Ollie) and the other is Finnigan (we call him Finn). I always loved the names Ollie and Finn for boys.
I don't often comment and have always been undecided whether I like Eamon & Bec's channel since I'm more biased on eating animal-based. It always makes me raise an eyebrow whenever they're trying to influence for a plant-based diet. However, I highly respect their answer on having their kid open to explore their preferred diet & not planning to force their own preferences down to them. A lot of our unhealthy judgements come from ignorance, so giving them an open option shows how great these two will be as a parent. I came here for Eamon's energy, but I'm staying for Bec's quirky personality ❤
Bec was 32 fighting for life, now she is 33 creating life!!!💓
Faith might be a great name to consider
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
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.
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
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 🤗
You'll bring light to the darkest day! Call him/her Sunny! :) Happy for you guys
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 🤞🏼
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!
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 ❤
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.@@BonnieLynn-y2t
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.
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 think Willow is a beautiful name and just matches you guys’ vibe. ❤
That was my second choice. Brooke was my first. lol
"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 😘.
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 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.
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?
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 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!
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 💓
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.
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 ❤
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.
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!
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 fellow December baby mama I just want to say I am so excited for you. You are going to be amazing parents. A baby is the most emotional, beautiful and fulfilling thing that can ever happen in life. You deserve this!
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’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 🤍🤞🏼
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..
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 💚
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 have an 8 month old and it has been the greatest experience of my life and unfortunately the unsolicited advice never ends I am so happy for you guys just trust your gut because you’ll know what to do
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.
“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.
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.
Congratulations to you both. The only advice I ever give new parents is that they know what is best for their baby. As far as negative comments go, these people hate themselves and lash out because of this. People that matter dont mind and people who do mind dont matter. Bright Blessings.
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.
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 ❤️
I have to say, I think Eamon is a lucky man. Bob seems so amazing… Not only am I excited to see y’all grow with a child but I can’t wait to see Bob with a grandchild and how it changes everyone’s lives.
Bobby would be the cutest name for a girl!! You could call her B for short!! BABY BOBBY B ❤❤❤ she will have your adventurous spirit, creativity, and kindness!!
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! 🎉
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.
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
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!
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.
You guys were so respectful to your parents with that last question. Kudos
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
I’m 33 now and I’m due with my first baby in 11 days and couldn’t be happier with the timing 🙏🏼😌
Just caring about being a good parent is half the battle. Yall are good folks, youll be great parents!
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!
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. 😂
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.
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.
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
There is NO better experts on your life or on your pregnancy and forthcoming baby, then you and Eamon! 💕💕
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! ❤
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
Eamons curiosity and amazing creativity, is the best kind of ADHD! As someone with ADHD I love watching Eamon because he reminds me of me, but he is thriving at life and its so nice to see someone who has what I have, living a life that suits his personality and allows him to be extraordinary rather than having a career and life that is a struggle to conform to and stunts creativity. I love watching you both and I just love to see the positive representation.
i dont know why but when you showed Bec last year birthday looking sick with cancer i started crying because this is the biggest proof of how fast life is and one year u are near death and next year u are lucky and fully healthy. So biggest reminder to live at fullest today because today u are lucky to be living breathing healthy! I am aslso so so happy for Bec, last year i was dreading to see your next video to not hear any worst news, and this year she is healthy and has a bean
Parent from you HEART. So many new moms get tied up in pregnancy books and “what you should do” vs. what you feel is right. I felt so beautiful when I was pregnant. My daughter is grown and married and I wish I could do it all over again ❤ I nursed her for 2 1/2 years and I didn’t want to quit but she did! Now we’re waiting for grandbabies! (someday 😂)
I was also a “Softy” when I raised my daughter.. she is now 27 and turned out to be the most kind, caring, and all around good person… just as you are Eamon! Nothing wrong with that! 💕
You guys are going to be the most amazing parents. Your enthusiasm for life and how you embrace every challenge is such an example for the rest of us.
so I usually don't make comments on videos, because alot of people like to disagree just to start crap. In Sept of 2019 mom was diagnosed with cancer, in that time especially as the disease was progressing, your videos have become a must watch, just to provide a few moments of levity. Watching not just the old videos but waiting every other day for the next new one has become a main stay, especially now that she's passed on. I applaud you both on keeping positive vibes throughout your trials. I want to thank you and the rest of the content makers on the RUclips.
I knew I was having a boy, twice. Now 37 & 39. No one knows what kind of a parent they will be, or what they know or believe they will do until the situation happens. If you have a premature baby, you too may become a softie. I know you both will be great parents, and I bet Eamon will be a softie.
my mom had me at 36 & my brother at 38! it’s never to late to be a momma! she’s my bestfriend and i have learned so much from her, i plan to have kids later in life as well! enjoy my youth & be stable before bringing a light into the world ❤
While I cheered you on as you kicked cancers ASS, I’m so extra excited & thrilled to watch you and Eamon grow, welcome and become parents to this bundle of joy 🥰 You so both deserve this happiness! ♥️😘
You, as a couple, bring me hope. You are peaceful.❤
Our daughter is named Chaiya which means ‘Life’!
We travelled to Mexico with her when she was 7 weeks in our old ‘76 VW & got to know ourselves as a new family for the first 6 months. She is also a late December baby and we wanted to get out of the Canadian winter as well.
Congrats and excited for you guys entering this next chapter in life. 🤗
Chaiya means ‘alive’ in Hebrew🩷
My mom’s name was Evelyn, and everyone called her “Eb.” She was the strongest, funniest and smartest woman I have ever known.
Y'all are going to be the best parents!!!
Our great granddaughter’s name is Ella Mae. Just love that name.
My paternal grandmother's name was Margaret Evelyn and she went by Evelyn. She was one of the kindest, wisest, STRONGEST women I've ever known! I wish I had spent more time with her. I miss her very much. 💟
I love the name Wolf for a boy! You two are gonna be such amazing parents and it’s so fun to see your transition from van life to family life
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
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 think I may love this video even more than the announcement video. Now that you’ve been cleared and reached 15 weeks you can tell there is just sheer joy and elation. I’m so thrilled you get to just enjoy this journey and season of your lives now!!!! You’re going to be amazing parents!
Wow, thank you! ❤❤❤
The moment I saw the pregnancy test, I swore I was having a boy as well. Didn't even think of girl names... My daughters name is Lily Sky ❤😂 I am so excited for you guys. Having a baby is so much fun! ❤
I like that Eamon mentioned Floyd. Our son is the most curious person I know and his name is Flynn 😊 His twin sister is Amy. Our older daughter is named after the Kimberleys in Australia where we met xx
I can’t tell you how many times I say to friends, trust your instincts (gut), they’ll NEVER let you down! And as my husband’s grandmother said when I had my only child, “babies come with instructions”! So true, as you’ll quickly learn. 😊❤
Love that ❤ Thanks for sharing!!
It warms my heart and brings me to be teary eyed just seeing how happy the both of you are. If any one in this world deserves this kind of happiness it's both of you! You both are going to be such loving parents. The love you have for your little baby is just so heartwarming. Bec no one deserves this happiness more than you. What you have been through this past year is so beyond terrible. I am 67 just recently diagnosed with the same breast cancer as you. My journey is just beginning. But watching all that you have accomplished after has inspired me. Your strength and wonderful attitude is what was shining through to all of us. I wish for so much good and happiness in the time to come. You both deserve this happiness.
Love Eamon being gentle and not freaking out about the snake ❤
Eabecmon!!?? For a name for baby!! ❤😊 I'm so happy for you Eamon and Bec!! Thank you for sharing! Continued prayers and love for you all!❤😊😊 I just found out recently that my sister has breast cancer and is scheduled for removal of the breast surgery, so always in my prayers to all my family, friends, and loved ones!
I love how much you say you’ll have to wait and see when deciding how you’ll parent and what you’ll do. When babies come, they change everything!😂In the best way, of course, but there’s just no predicting. It’s all such an adventure of discovery. Congrats!❤
Bec I want you to know there is no shame with being pregnant. I believe what you are feeling has arose from the nurse in the Hospital that told you “This isn’t the right time for a baby” during your Cancer scare. Know this sweetheart, you are a strong compassionate woman who doesn’t have to feel ever that she is less than! The bigger picture is the both of you have been given a gift, and this gift is life. Bec, you are so loved!! ❤❤❤
Unfortunately that was the radiologist not a nurse!!! Crazy!!!
Crazy to see how far you guys have come, I have been watching for longer than I would like to admit and cannot wait to watch this new chapter unfold. Congrats again guys and all the best with you bundle of 😊 ❤
As someone who is moving from Toronto to Cape Breton Island so that my son can grow up with my parents close by I think moving back to Toronto is going to be so great for you guys
Good morning my favorite parents to-be! Me and my boyfriend find alot of inspiration watching your videos. thankyou for taking us through your life journey through these years!
Good morning! Thank you for joining us for all of life’s chapters! We love sharing with you guys❤
21 weeks! So pumped to go through this stage with you! We’ve got tons of critters and they can hear the heartbeat!

You guys got this don’t doubt it . most genuine humans
"Thanks for your advice, we will definitely think about that!" This is the phrase that saved me from all the baby advice coming from well-meaning family and friends. Some of it is helpful, some not what you might want, so that phrase lets you think about it all and use or discard it as you see fit. Wishing you the best!
It’s fun watching your pregnancy vids. I found out recently that I am pregnant, for the second time! I miscarried my first pregnancy. Needless to say I can’t help but be a little nervous and I’m trying to keep a sound mind. “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but I’d love, power, and a sound mind.” Watching your videos is encouraging and I am happy to be on this journey with Bec at the same time!
Miscarried the first also, more common than people know. Second took and she’s great. Such a good kid, heart of gold, funny, smart and beautiful. Blessed.
A trait that I noticed in Eamon a long time ago that I can SO appreciate is his knowledge and love of building/fixing/constructing/snake handling(just found out) and creative healthy cook.
As well the two of you have that great sense of adventure so cheers to you both the more the merrier!!🎉👶😀🐶💕😘
I'm so excited and happy you are sharing this journey with us! I have raised my children and now my kids are fur babies. I have two Boston Terrors (Terriers...lol) that are my loves. One is named Oliver (we call him Ollie) and the other is Finnigan (we call him Finn). I always loved the names Ollie and Finn for boys.
Love the name Finn!
I don't often comment and have always been undecided whether I like Eamon & Bec's channel since I'm more biased on eating animal-based. It always makes me raise an eyebrow whenever they're trying to influence for a plant-based diet. However, I highly respect their answer on having their kid open to explore their preferred diet & not planning to force their own preferences down to them. A lot of our unhealthy judgements come from ignorance, so giving them an open option shows how great these two will be as a parent. I came here for Eamon's energy, but I'm staying for Bec's quirky personality ❤
