Andrew has such an interesting personality . I really like it. There’s something about him that’s very calm and comforting. Hope we can see more of him in the near future.
They have a prior video after Koufax was born about baby names they weren't using! Had they known they'd have a fifth they probably wouldn't have made that video yet, hahah :)
Stretch marks are 1,000% genetics. I have a ton and so does my mom. And we are very hydrated and healthy people. :) CONGRATULATIONS sweet family. So excited for #5.
Definitely genetics cuz my mum never took care of her skin and doesn't have any. I do have on my thights but from puberty, I went through 2 pregnancies and didn't get any eventhough I got huge bellys, so something I have to thank genetics haha
I have 5 now adults with the youngest being 23 and it is the most amazing thing ever. I now have grandchildren and my heart bursts even more. So so lucky. Love to you all xx
I know a lady who had her tubes tied, got pregnant, they tied them again and she got pregnant again. I also hear of failed vasectomies all the time. To me, those babies are just meant to be here :)
@@f.1395 that was probably when they were still having children. Now that this is their last Ellen and Andrew are entitled to decide a more permanent solution to not having more children.
I work in a lab and perform testing on post vasectomy patients to make sure the surgery worked. You'd be surprised how many don't and specimens still have live sperm.
As the fourth of six kids, I know that people always assume that there’s not enough attention to go around from parents of big families. I get where they’re coming from but I don’t think people realise how much children learn from their siblings! I know I may have gotten less attention than my eldest sister but I don’t feel any less loved. In fact I think I’m lucky I had my siblings to talk to. I had a great childhood and never felt any sort of neglect. I’m so grateful for my family and as a result I’d love a big family for myself.
I am the 6th of 9 children and I have never felt I was neglected or that there wasn't enough attention. The best part of a big family is the strong relationships that younger and older siblings form. My oldest sister has always been like a second mom to me, and even when my parents are crazy busy, there was always someone there for you. I wish more people understood what being in a big family is actually like. It's wonderful:)
It's more an issue of there not being enough money to go around. Way too many parents put their children into poverty and hardship by having more children than they can afford. That just shouldn't happen in a world where we have access to contraception and abortion.
I just think your babies are so lucky to have you both as parents. You guys are awesome and have created such a connected and loving life for them. Thank you for inspiring us!
I used that exact belly oil for all my pregnancies too, a friend told me about it 10 years ago when I was pregnant with my first and I've been so superstitious (kind of) and have used the same one even though there are so many new products out- and still- ZERO stretch marks. I think the main thing that contributes is gaining only what is needed for the baby (about 20-25 lbs for me at 5'7), and staying active and hydrated.
I've learned that everything happens for a reason, every event has a why and all adversity teaches us a lesson... Never regret your past. Accept it as the teacher that it is.🌷
My husband had a vasectomy 2 years before we met, had a reversal done 6 months after we were married and then had a varicosele repair a year after that. 😂🙃🤦🏼♀️ He doesn't appear to be emotionally scarred for life. 🤷🏼♀️ Unfortunately after all of that we still needed to do IVF to get pregnant with my first but I'm 24 weeks and 4 days today. 💪🏼🤰🏼 I'm planning on a home birth largely because of your influence! 😊 Love your family and I'm so happy for you guys. ❤
No one could ever convince me to get my vasectomy reversed. It's a permanent form of birth control for men who don't want or are done having children. Getting it reversed is crazy. I honestly wish vasectomies were irreversible like bilateral salpingectomies and hysterectomies. Maybe then people would actually take them seriously.
A sister for Scout would be so cute! Yes be sure to periodically get tested if you get a vasectomy! My husband’s friend had a surprise baby 10 years after he had his vasectomy it somehow grew back and shocked them all! Her oldest was 20 his was 18 & 16 talk about starting over!
I am not sure when cauterization became part of vasectomies, but that has greatly reduced the occurrence of the vas degrees growing back together after being cut.
I love this honest chat and I appreciate Andrew's deadpan delivery and sarcasm. We have five and we're done. My youngest is 4 and then 7,9,11,13. I prefer the 2 year age gap to the 3 year to be honest! It's all good now that our youngest is older. I have 4 girls, one boy and I know that my son (11) doesn't mind being the only boy. He loves babies so much and it never occurred to him to want a brother luckily! Embrace the minivan!
Love your honesty about not using cloth the last few months with Koufax… I have 3 little ones the same age as Scout, Koufax and a 4 month old. Life is hectic and we love cloth, but definitely finding it hard to keep up with it the last few months since no.3 came along 😅 Also, LOVE Andrew’s humour. Very much like my husband’s and doesn’t make him any less excited about this new addition💗
As a mama who has had land and water birth the water adds an extra magic to it plus gives you something soft to rest your head against ! I think having a birth under the stars would be magical! You have so much land maybe it’s possible!
You two are just the sweetest! I love seeing you guys grow your family. Ellen you are always just so beautiful and glowing pregnant and the way Andrew looks at you is just so special!
I have 4 brother's and I love it! You guys are amazing together and I'm so happy you're adding to your beautiful family. I love seeing you both and the love you share with each other.
Ellen don’t have a land baby! 😂😂 take it from me, the water offers such a lot of pain relief. This is from a mumma that’s given birth in both. Sending love from Scotland. 😘
Can you make a video about: what to do when your child has a fever (or pains). What do you do when your Children get sick sometimes. I bet you have some great advices! Would be great, thank you for all this sharing it's literally wonderful to see what you all are doing as a team.
Fever means the body is trying to purify itself. You don't have to "do" anything except not take drugs for it. Allow the healing crisis to pass. Same goes for you.
You both are a beautiful couple!❤️ The Life environment you create for your children is nurturing! Everyone is involved; constantly learning; w/ cooking, gardening, compost, playing together both indoor & outside. Thank you for inspiration!🫶🏻 I
Love this video! Definitely missing your usual once or bi-weekly uploads. Your everyday life and kids birthday parties are so much fun to see! I know you have SO much on your plate!! But would you resume to weekly or bi-weekly uploads again in the future? Just curious, nothing else :)
Terrible idea...these kids already have no privacy due to their mom exploiting them ALL online since birth. I hope these parents are putting a huge amount of money for all the money-makers, whoops, I mean children.
Unfortunately, predators can do a lot with even just a little bit of information. Knowing the child’s name, parents name, and a basic interest has been the start to child abductions (including before the internet). Very sad
I thought you guys were done, this is a blessing. Such wonderful parents, the more the merrier ❤️. I had four kids, boy, girl, then twin boys. I wish I had the option for one more, congratulations.
I am 38 weeks with baby #4, and I still have never had stretch marks either. I don't use any oils or lotions on my belly, so I truly believe that it is something genetic.
You two are such a lovely couple. I think it is so sweet, when he says he loves you in every shape🤭🥰 I wish you all the best for your pregnancy🌻❤ I also loved fresh fruit when i was pregnant(twice) with my kids. I also loved to eat chinese food. We were eating at the chinese restaurant very often at those times🍲....at least once every week🍲🤭
Mum of 5 here, it is full on but awesome having lots of children, my eldest two are now teenagers - that part is harder than I envisaged, it is like a repeat of the full on baby years : )
After a vasectomy they say you still need “protection” for an entire year. You may already know that, but if the doctor didn’t tell you, you may want to consider doing it while baby is still nursing, so you’ll be all set once he/she’s weaned (nursing provides some birth control hormonally). My husband has down right refused for the same reasons. Good job Andrew for putting Ellen ahead of your hesitancies.
You don't need protection for a year usually after 3 months you get rechecked to see if you're still spitting out a little soldiers they give you the all clear usually within 3 to 6 months
I think it would be really neat if you made a series over cycle tracking. I am about 1 year postpartum and believe I will start getting my period again soon and would love to use cycle tracking (along with my handy dandy diaphram) to prevent pregnancy.
Andrew has become so much more relaxed and comfortable with camera that's nice. It's your second surprise baby, I am glad you are getting better contraception! Your kids are very lucky, you give them a fantastic childhood.
I'm so happy for you guys! I've been watching your channel since the beginning and can't believe you're on 5 kids now! You guys are such good parents and have an awesome lifestyle 🤙
You know what guys - i think it's super cool that you're openly talking about Andrew planning on getting a vasectomy. Some people are so unreasonable about this. It's so much easier and cheaper to sterilize a man than a woman that this debate can sometimes show how fragile some men's masculinity is. So much so that it stands in the way of common sense. I'm still very young (in university) and i think it's great that you're setting a good example :)
@@Mint-kj9kw But on average, tubal ligation makes the likelihood of complications far greater than with no scalpel vasectomy-due to it being more invasive.
I agree. I got a vasectomy at 25, and it was no big deal. It was painless, and I was back at work the next day. Best decision I've ever made. Zero regrets. I recommend it to every guy.
I have loved watching your family grow. It's been so beautiful. Thank you for sharing these vulnerable moments with us. Wishing you peace & prosperity always!
Awww...when I watch your and Hannah's channel it makes me miss the days when our kiddos were young. We birthed and raised ours very much in line with your parenting styles. Such a fun time! They're 14 and 18 now and I know you will love this season too! We wanted to have more, but miscarried 3. Enjoy it all Ellen. It goes by so fast!♡ Love from Ohio (Lisa)
@@joshklaver47j no, creep. That is murder, murder of an innocent being. Would you have liked for your mother to have murdered you when she got pregnant with you? If a couple has sex and don’t want to get pregnant, they must make use of contraceptive methods, and even so, if they still get pregnant, keep the baby, obviously. Gosh!
@@CarlaPizao what if someone got brutally raped by their father, uncles, and cousins continuously abused and raped, over and over, everyday for years,forced to have painful, unprotected sex each time. and continued to get pregnant? What then? Because I can guarantee this has happened, will happen and continue to happen every single day. And I hope it never happens to you or your children. What would you do if your daughter was raped by her dad and got pregnant? And then raped by her brother and got pregnant again? It happens every single day.
Preganant with my fourth! The more you have the more experience that helps to raise the others! Im surprised to hear about a vasectomy bc it alters the body forever. There is research linking to changes in prostate health. Ya’ll are great parents and your kiddos are all blessed💛
Vasectomy is very safe and effective, and there's no solid evidence of it causing prostate problems. I did extensive research and wouldn't have gotten a vasectomy if I wasn't 100% sure it was safe. It's a really smart birth control option for men, and I wish it was more popular. Best decision I've ever made.
Seems like it would be easier to have the vasectomy before the baby is born so you are more available to Ellen with the newborn. I will admit I have never understood why men are so reluctant to have vasectomies with their wives go thru so much to have the babies like rock stars. SO easy in comparison.;)
I would be too worried if something went wrong with labor or delivery. I know children can die at any time and life is not guaranteed- I just couldn’t bear to have my husband do it while pregnant. I would be more okay 2 years after birth so we could make sure.
@@nanaronhano337 i think you're unaware how it can be easily reversed... plus it is never guaranteed that the procedure would work too. I wouldn't be surprised they have an accident in the next years. Men are being delivered the wrong information about vasectomies and it should be normalized at this point. Enough with the insane procedures on our reproductive system when there are easier methods for our partners if they are so supportive.
@@chimmystoe you really shouldn’t get one unless you’re 100% sure you are not having any more children. My friends got a reversal and it’s been unsuccessful. They regret it.
A vasectomy is nothing compared to what women go through. My hubby had one years ago. Within a couple of days he as fully recovered. No biggie. Yep, stretch marks are genetic. My hubby has them on his hips/back. He’s never been overweight and lost a lot of weigh.
Ugh living vicariously through you haha my 4th is 15 months and I’m usually already pregnant haha but I just can’t do another as much as it kills me to say lol I’d love a 5th but my pregnancies are rough
Hey Ellen, thanks for the video and congrats! By the way, where are you getting all these cute dresses from? I'm pregnant and live in Hawaii as well. I am in need of some cute and comfy dresses for hot weather!
I have five kids and had three boys and a girl and my fifth was another girl! I was def done with kids after five no matter if the last was a boy or girl. My husband did get a vasectomy.
Chef Kenny’s Vegan Sushi! I lived in Vegas for 8 years and love him and his restaurants. He also has one in Houston which happens to be where my family is. Now I’m in Bolivia so he needs to open a vegan sushi place here 😋
Used mothers special blend with my first who was 10lbs at birth not a single stretch mark...used it 8 months into my 2nd pregnancy ran out and I'm living in Germany currently so I couldn't get a new bottle. Thought I'd be fine...haaaaaaaa. I got stretch marks the last 3 weeks. Not terrible but noticeable. That stuff is magic I recommend it to all my pregnant friends. Also staying hydrated 100%.
Oh my gosh, I love your reaction with the van. 🤣 🤣 that’s exactly how I was….”I swear I will never have a van!!” 😬 I have one now and all I can say is they are nice. Lol can’t wait to see this baby!! So excited for you guys. 💗
All through the video Andrew is like " I regret it so much" 😅 though this may be his natural face. Either way Andrew is a great dad. Congratulations on new baby. 🎉 🎉🎉😘
I am struggling with fertility because PCOS caused by a transition. Please send baby dust. Such a goddess of fertility and motherhood she is. I pray that I get to be a momma as well.
@@Mint-kj9kw That’s not a bad point but some people want to experience pregnancy and having biological children to raise from birth (hope that doesn’t sound harsh). Pregnancy is a very unique thing to experience and can’t be replicated but I also understand that a child is a child (biological or not).
You should adopt or foster. There are already hundreds of thousands of children who need loving parents. People leaving them to rot while they get IVF or fertility treatments instead is wrong.
@@joshklaver47 It's not the responsibility of people that struggle with infertility to fix the adoption issue. Everyone else is just as responsible for considering. Most people who can have kids aren't pushed towards it. I'm not against adoption. It's just ridiculous that the most empathetic response people can come up with is, "Just Adopt. It's YOUR responsibility to." Dude, my body is struggling to do the one thing It's literally meant to do. Am I allowed to want to create a child with my husband? Geeze
another question: I know you LOVE living in hawaii and it goes hand in hand with your lifestyle and personality, but would you ever move to the mainland and live in another state? What state would you prefer IF you had to.
I have 5 children and we recently got a Suburban and I actually miss my van so much! My kids were just too big for it though- not enough leg room anymore.

I can’t be the only one that wants Scout to have a sister! A second generation of Ellen-Hannah would be dreamy. 😊
The most important thing is that Ellen and the baby are both healthy. However, I do think another baby girl would be nice.
I would love to see another girl in their family! Definitely! 💖💖
Andrew has such an interesting personality . I really like it. There’s something about him that’s very calm and comforting. Hope we can see more of him in the near future.
He is like a sensitive alpha male...
Haha dry, sarcastic introvert!
I love how Andrew looks at you when talking about his attraction to you. It's so pure. Love seeing the passion.
After you've had this baby will you share your un-used baby names?! I would love that :)

It's always super hilarious hearing guys talk about the pain of a vasectomy like women didn't just push a watermelon out of their body! 🤣
Or get a c section that's major surgery! I had 3 c sections and hubby whining about vasectomy drives me crazy lol 😆
There can be lifelong pain with a vasectomy. My husband had one anyway. He said I already sacrificed my body for our family and that it was his turn
@@msaijay1153 That's swell but no one should be forced to undergo surgery for any reason.
There’s a pretty big reward for childbirth… small reward for vasectomy.
@@msaijay1153 and there's life long pain with pregnancy and birth
Andrew appears a bit overwhelmed by the whole thing. Five is a lot, Andrew, and you both are great parents and have a wonderful family.😉
Stretch marks are 1,000% genetics. I have a ton and so does my mom. And we are very hydrated and healthy people. :)

Breastfeeding is not birth control at all! Please remember about that. Just an advice from a midwife student
@@zosiarokicka3107 Like I said, nursing provides -*some*-birth control hormonally. Just some advice from a seasoned RN and nursing mother of 4.
You don't need protection for a year usually after 3 months you get rechecked to see if you're still spitting out a little soldiers they give you the all clear usually within 3 to 6 months
I was just wondering when you'd post an update and here it is! Thank you! So happy for you guys!

Yay! I am now 30 weeks. And I was pregnant with you too when you were pregnant with sandy. And this is my second and last but so exciting!
I'm 16 weeks with the 2nd one. My 1st is 3 months older than Scott.
My husband had a vasectomy since I had two csections. It’s a great way for permit protection and I’m not on birth control.
I’ve loved watching your beautiful family grow. I started watching when Elvis and Sandy were so little! You’re glowing as always Ellen!❤️
Sending good vibes, especially for Andrew. He seems like he is not feeling this video and/or topic. Andrew is the star of this video
I love when you're both are on camera. You guys are great parents.
Your awesome Parents! Congrats on the coming new baby. I started watching you guys when Elvis was a baby. I can’t believe your going on 5.
You guys are just the absolute best!!
Best wishes for you parents!!
I am in my first trimester with my second baby. Ellen you're such an inspiration!!
I'm so happy for you guys! I've been watching your channel since the beginning and can't believe you're on 5 kids now! You guys are such good parents and have an awesome lifestyle 🤙
You know what guys - i think it's super cool that you're openly talking about Andrew planning on getting a vasectomy. Some people are so unreasonable about this. It's so much easier and cheaper to sterilize a man than a woman that this debate can sometimes show how fragile some men's masculinity is. So much so that it stands in the way of common sense.
I'm still very young (in university) and i think it's great that you're setting a good example :)
Tons of men have had complications from their vasectomies.
@@Mint-kj9kw But on average, tubal ligation makes the likelihood of complications far greater than with no scalpel vasectomy-due to it being more invasive.
I agree. I got a vasectomy at 25, and it was no big deal. It was painless, and I was back at work the next day. Best decision I've ever made. Zero regrets. I recommend it to every guy.
I have loved watching your family grow. It's been so beautiful. Thank you for sharing these vulnerable moments with us. Wishing you peace & prosperity always!
Awww...when I watch your and Hannah's channel it makes me miss the days when our kiddos were young. We birthed and raised ours very much in line with your parenting styles. Such a fun time! They're 14 and 18 now and I know you will love this season too!
We wanted to have more, but miscarried 3. Enjoy it all Ellen. It goes by so fast!♡
Love from Ohio (Lisa)
You guys and your family are so beautiful🌿 and so cute to see you together🥰 I wish you all the very best!
Will you share the names you didn’t use since this is the last baby?
You already have a Scout why not an Atticus. Such a beautiful family!
My youngest brother is a failed vasectomy, his name is Jonas. Jonas the bonus 🤣
😂😂
Thankfully we have access to abortion for situations like that.
@@joshklaver47j no, creep. That is murder, murder of an innocent being. Would you have liked for your mother to have murdered you when she got pregnant with you? If a couple has sex and don’t want to get pregnant, they must make use of contraceptive methods, and even so, if they still get pregnant, keep the baby, obviously. Gosh!
@@CarlaPizao what if someone got brutally raped by their father, uncles, and cousins continuously abused and raped, over and over, everyday for years,forced to have painful, unprotected sex each time. and continued to get pregnant? What then? Because I can guarantee this has happened, will happen and continue to happen every single day. And I hope it never happens to you or your children. What would you do if your daughter was raped by her dad and got pregnant? And then raped by her brother and got pregnant again? It happens every single day.
Preganant with my fourth! The more you have the more experience that helps to raise the others!
Im surprised to hear about a vasectomy bc it alters the body forever. There is research linking to changes in prostate health.
Ya’ll are great parents and your kiddos are all blessed💛
Pregnancy and childbirth can and does alter the body forever. Sometimes, it isn't in a good or healthy way.
Vasectomy is very safe and effective, and there's no solid evidence of it causing prostate problems. I did extensive research and wouldn't have gotten a vasectomy if I wasn't 100% sure it was safe. It's a really smart birth control option for men, and I wish it was more popular. Best decision I've ever made.
Congratulations you guys!! I love the shell shocked look that Andrew has 😂 You guys have a lovely family 🥰
Seems like it would be easier to have the vasectomy before the baby is born so you are more available to Ellen with the newborn. I will admit I have never understood why men are so reluctant to have vasectomies with their wives go thru so much to have the babies like rock stars. SO easy in comparison.;)
I would be too worried if something went wrong with labor or delivery. I know children can die at any time and life is not guaranteed- I just couldn’t bear to have my husband do it while pregnant. I would be more okay 2 years after birth so we could make sure.
@@nanaronhano337 i think you're unaware how it can be easily reversed... plus it is never guaranteed that the procedure would work too. I wouldn't be surprised they have an accident in the next years. Men are being delivered the wrong information about vasectomies and it should be normalized at this point. Enough with the insane procedures on our reproductive system when there are easier methods for our partners if they are so supportive.
@@chimmystoe you really shouldn’t get one unless you’re 100% sure you are not having any more children. My friends got a reversal and it’s been unsuccessful. They regret it.
Because vasectomies are effed up and unnatural AF.... husband should just get a second wife if you’re unwilling to have babies
A vasectomy is nothing compared to what women go through. My hubby had one years ago. Within a couple of days he as fully recovered. No biggie.
Yep, stretch marks are genetic. My hubby has them on his hips/back. He’s never been overweight and lost a lot of weigh.
Ugh living vicariously through you haha my 4th is 15 months and I’m usually already pregnant haha but I just can’t do another as much as it kills me to say lol I’d love a 5th but my pregnancies are rough
So happy for you both. This will be another lucky baby.....
When I see Andrew in videos, I feel like I see myself because we have very similar personalities! Congrats you guys🤍
Hey Ellen, thanks for the video and congrats! By the way, where are you getting all these cute dresses from? I'm pregnant and live in Hawaii as well. I am in need of some cute and comfy dresses for hot weather!
I have five kids and had three boys and a girl and my fifth was another girl! I was def done with kids after five no matter if the last was a boy or girl. My husband did get a vasectomy.
Chef Kenny’s Vegan Sushi! I lived in Vegas for 8 years and love him and his restaurants. He also has one in Houston which happens to be where my family is. Now I’m in Bolivia so he needs to open a vegan sushi place here 😋
Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us. Wishing you guys all the best! ❤️🌻❤️🌻
Thank you for sharing! I always loved when you do this kinds of videos.
Used mothers special blend with my first who was 10lbs at birth not a single stretch mark...used it 8 months into my 2nd pregnancy ran out and I'm living in Germany currently so I couldn't get a new bottle. Thought I'd be fine...haaaaaaaa. I got stretch marks the last 3 weeks. Not terrible but noticeable. That stuff is magic I recommend it to all my pregnant friends. Also staying hydrated 100%.
Oh my gosh, I love your reaction with the van. 🤣 🤣 that’s exactly how I was….”I swear I will never have a van!!” 😬 I have one now and all I can say is they are nice. Lol can’t wait to see this baby!! So excited for you guys. 💗
All through the video Andrew is like " I regret it so much" 😅 though this may be his natural face. Either way Andrew is a great dad. Congratulations on new baby. 🎉 🎉🎉😘
I felt that way in the last baby announcement too 😏
@@davisneves why the face?Has nothing to do with you
Love your husband and how respectful he is to your wishes!
I have four brothers. I cannot express how much I wanted a sister. And when I grew up, I yearned for a daughter and had a son. 😅
When you use disposable diapers what brands do you prefer?
I am struggling with fertility because PCOS caused by a transition. Please send baby dust. Such a goddess of fertility and motherhood she is. I pray that I get to be a momma as well.
Foster care, adoption???
@@Mint-kj9kw That’s not a bad point but some people want to experience pregnancy and having biological children to raise from birth (hope that doesn’t sound harsh). Pregnancy is a very unique thing to experience and can’t be replicated but I also understand that a child is a child (biological or not).
You should adopt or foster. There are already hundreds of thousands of children who need loving parents. People leaving them to rot while they get IVF or fertility treatments instead is wrong.
@@silenceisbetterthannonsense I've always wanted to be pregnant and have a baby WITH my husband.
@@joshklaver47 It's not the responsibility of people that struggle with infertility to fix the adoption issue. Everyone else is just as responsible for considering. Most people who can have kids aren't pushed towards it. I'm not against adoption. It's just ridiculous that the most empathetic response people can come up with is, "Just Adopt. It's YOUR responsibility to." Dude, my body is struggling to do the one thing It's literally meant to do. Am I allowed to want to create a child with my husband? Geeze
Ellen, Andrew, Hannah e filhotes, amo vocês 🥰 Acompanho o canal desde o início e sou muito apaixonada 💚
I really enjoyed hearing your responses to all the questions, thanks Ellen & Andrew.
I can see that Andrew has a hard time sitting. He needs to go and do things! Very sweet of him to do this 'interview'!
I really hope you have one more for an even number! 🥰
another question: I know you LOVE living in hawaii and it goes hand in hand with your lifestyle and personality, but would you ever move to the mainland and live in another state? What state would you prefer IF you had to.
I have 5 children and we recently got a Suburban and I actually miss my van so much! My kids were just too big for it though- not enough leg room anymore.
Were you still using Natural Cycles when you got pregnant? I remember you used to use it few years ago.
With 3 I felt like my house kept getting smaller and smaller over the years. Finally moved into a bigger space and it made a world of difference.
Try veggie house in las vegas!! Their walnut shrimp is so good! Vegan everything
Omg love the dress. Where is it from?! I’m so excited for your family. 💜💜
The dress is from augustethelabel!
I absolutely adore your family dynamic! ❤
Aww hahaa when he said maybe well adopt and you were like so pleasantly surprised by that comment. So sweet!
You guys are a power couple! Love it
My husband (Also an Andrew! lol) got a Vasectomy and it was In and Out appointment! A bit sore for a few days.
