Maggie I can honestly say I've never known anyone who is/was as excited about their pregnancy as you. It's a beautiful thing to see. I wish you and Zack the best. It's been a long time coming and you deserve every minute of the exposure.
What I love about this channel is how Maggie talks, you share sadness then happiness, you share struggles and happy moments, it's so easy to relate to unlike other out of touch influencers it's so easy to follow and connect to you on personal level 💚 Also I love that you aren't monotone, other people put me to sleep with monotone voice, Maggie enunciates the words and it's easy to listen to. I'm so happy you are having a beautiful baby 🙏
Maggie, there is so much that changes/happens with your body while pregnant that your doctor and nurses don’t mention to you! They are there to help you through with what is going on, don’t be embarrassed to ask questions, I am sure there isn’t one that they haven’t heard! I am so happy for you two!
They don't mention things, not because they are trying to gatekeep, but because they forget that it's not common knowledge after a while. Everyone does that at some point, you forget that not everyone knows everything you do and you end up in some awkward situations at times.
Find the book. What to expect when your expecting. I had my 1st baby at 19. Away from family. Hubby was a marine. I read and reread it every day and found out more everytime I read it
My babies are grown, so I’m reliving the excitement with you guys. I’m the mama of two May babies. One thing that I would suggest is to get yourself something very special to wear for Christmas. Your first holiday as a mama.
Watching you get excited is so sweet. ( Rightfully so) . I am so glad this pregnancy is going good for you minus the sickness. You are adorable, love watching you. Blessing to you and your hubby.
First pregnancy it's normal to show later on. I didn't show until around 26 weeks, prior to that I looked like I had gained a few kgs. So happy for you guys. X
I was worry free when I first saw my beautiful daughter….but the anxiety was always there especially when you’ve miscarried in the past. Congratulations on this most precious time in your lives 💖
My son is 16, and once in a while I look at his baby book. Yes as the years went on, I kept up with it less, but I am so glad I kept up with it for the most part because you forget so much. I tracked everything and described everything he did as a baby and for his birthdays. It’s so cool to go through now! I kept his tags he had on at the hospital, lots of things with his birth date, hair from his first haircut. I tracked every tooth that came in, clearing to use the toilet. All the details of the pregnancy and delivery. It’s just so fun to look back on and I’m so happy I did it. Enjoy, start taking notes now! Oh and I had a 9.5 lb baby and didn’t show at all until 20 weeks!
This is so crazy! I started subscribing/following 4 different woman about 5 yrs ago & all of you have had some obstacles w/pregnancy. One lives in Fiji, one lives an "off the grid" life, one lives with an ileostomy (you) and..i can't remember the other one but all of you got pregnant at the same time and all of you are having girl's 😃🥰 I iust couldn't be more excited🎉
I come here for education (I do not have IBD), humor, doggie data, life style details, and SO appearances. However, it is supremely enjoying seeing Maggie so happy. Lately I have been soaking up happiness wherever I can find, due to "issues". I know medical portals, medical warehouses and even the occasional medical person can disappoint but the majority of (at least the humans) do want to help. Having a sense of humor, questions and relevant data on one's phone is about all we can do in the U.S. The Netherlands (they have a good health care rep) is too long a commute for me.😉 Enjoyed the hauls. I know hauls are ALL over You Tube, but please show what you can and what you feel comfortable with sharing.
Old Navy usually has some nice maternity stuff on clearance. You and Leroy might enjoy full panel maternity pants while you’re just starting to fit into them. Just note that not all full panels are created equal, some are stretchier than others.
Haha and then I hear the Old Navy story further on in the video!😆 I have found maternity clearance in the store though, I paid about $5 for a pair of mat. jeans 5 years ago.
I’m so happy to see you two enjoying your pregnancy! Hope your nausea goes away so you can enjoy it. I have a colostomy, can’t imagine how that will work when your belly gets big, but I’m sure other women have gone through it, so you’ll be fine I’m sure. Love ya 🎉😊
This is so fun! It's bringing back memories of my pregnancy! I also had a loss with my first pregnancy, so I totally get the anxiety. Both my babies were girls!
Hi Maggie! I didn't expect you to have another video already but so glad you did! You have such a cute little baby bump! I always was looking in the mirror checking out my belly and to me it looked so huge ! I just can't tell you enough how happy I am for you and Zach! I never wore maternity pants. Just the tops. I'm sure they have prettier ones than they did back when I was pregnant. I hope your morning sickness goes away! Sending love to the three of you 💙💗❤️
You are glowing Maggie! Hurray for tight pants and a growing baby! Are you beyond the rubber band trick for your pants? Your belly will take a while to go down post-parted. Mountain Dew is what helped me
So happy for you guys ❤. Maggie, you are so fortunate you are able to stay home, rest and nap whenever. That’s awesome. I had to work full-time during both of my pregnancies. I just got used to being exhausted all the time and carrying a baggie of pretzels in my purse for when I felt nauseous. I also carried little cut pieces of raw ginger to chew on when the nausea was bad. I’d get about an hour of nausea relief after chewing on the ginger piece.
The juicy outfit made me lol. It’s gonna be cute and comfy! Maybe I’d call those ornaments pearl? I’m with you on the reusing gift bags. My friends and I have been passing the same ones around for years.
You should get the book what to expect when you are expecting you can find it anywhere I loved that book when I was pregnant it told me everything I needed to know
Make it easy Maggie get a pre-lit Christmas tree there’s so much easier I used to get the ones you have to stain the lights yourself. These are so handy makes it so much easier than all you have to do is decorate.
Pregnancy pants are great! So comfortable. I even wore mine for awhile afterwards. I'm glad you were able to find some pants that you like for now. Hopefully you'll find some pregnancy ones that will fit you well. 💜
Yes, a lot of self-advocacy on my end as well. It is very normal to feel very anxious. However, I think once you start feeling the baby move you feel more at ease. You can poke your belly or drink cold water to make the baby move 😅❤️
We all are our own best advocate for your health. Drs never speak to one another. I have 14 diseases and the Drs will give you stuff that doesn’t go with your other medications. It’s up to you and your pharmacist to figure out and pharmacists are extremely busy because the Drs got away with staying home and they want to continue to live that lifestyle. Drs almost killed me 3 times over the last 20 years. Please pay attention and ask as many questions as you can. Don’t trust anyone but yourself. I’m so happy for you and I want you to enjoy your pregnancy in a safe environment. 💝🥰
Hi congratulations on all your good news that is just wonderful! I just had to point out as you are so cautious with your health and that of your baby that the artificial sweeteners in diet sodas are not great. Just a heads up. Take care ❤
You are glowing, pregnancy suits you, hows the morning sickness?, enjoy every day with your baby, dont be afraid of buying baby stuff, it is all part of the experience, my mum bought my pram when i was six weeks pregnant, i walked it home with her, 2 miles, strange but amazing, i loved my silver cross coachbuilt, so amazing, my daughter had the exact matching dolls pram, my mum got us matching pram covers, and the huge sunshade, i have pictures, little girls clothes are so beautiful, enjoy, if you see a bargain for a baby 1 year old, buy it, everything goes so fast,
I'm so happy for you. Girls are wonderful. My 2 are older than you, but I remember how wonderful they were when they were little. I now have a beautiful almost 3 yr old grandson. He is our miracle rainbow baby. Yes, it's hard when people tell you to just relax. I have partial placenta previas, so I was extremely nervous. Thankfully, I was able to carry to term. TJ Maxx does have the best gift bags and cards! I think I started feeling my girls move around 17 weeks. I had morning sickness with my 1st, and evening sickness with my 2nd. Go figure. Try Walmart or Target for maternity leggings. Funny, my husband stockpiles all of Melinda's sauces when we see them there or at Homegoods. Enjoy yourself. Treasure everyday of your pregnancy. It goes by so fast. 💝💝
I was given What to expect when you're expecting. It was dated in the 80's so even more dated now but how different can women giving birth be? It was a good resource for me with my first pregnancy. Very happy for you both!
Oh Sam's club has a pink juicy velour jacket and sweatpants 10.00 for each piece. Not sure if you have Sam's club but they are great for baby and kids clothes. The baby is going to need a lot of sleepers. I hear that the ones that zip from bottom and top are the best. Btw DT has totally changed. Everything is upgraded in quality. Their bags are great now.
Maggie, sick for maternity leggings on ASOS, I believe the smallest size they have is US 2, maybe even divided by height. They have all sort of leggings, and I think their over the bump kick flare trousers look just like yoga pants ❤ Hope and glad to be useful ❤ Me too had a problem, I was size us2 when I was pregnant with both my kids and everything looked so big, I hardly found one jeans and they were not comfortable, it was several years ago, there were no maternity leggings in shops, now it's better, but I guess not in Goodwill
No diet soda, the aspartame is so bad. If it has that in it. I’m surprised you can do carbonated. My ileostomy would blow up like a balloon in an instant. Also ginger essential oil is good for nausea. I put it on the bottom of my feet. I don’t care for the scent. Check with Dr 1st though. 💗
I understand why you've been waiting to buy baby stuff. I have been worried about jinxing my daughter's pregnancy by buying things, too. She has been looking for a winter coat that's maternity. I was looking, and they were like $180. She's due the end of February but I'm sure it's going to be needed after she has the baby because it takes a while to get back to your pre pregnancy weight. Maybe I will check out TG Max or Goodwill.
There may be a second hand store - perhaps online? - that caters to maternity wear or just has a decent amount? I remember wearing mine for so little time that they were in excellent condition and I donated on to charity shops.
@rachel2502 that's a great idea, too. Thank you. I remember way back when, and I don't remember wearing mine for long, either. I'm sure I donated it, too.
another way to get the 'soda' fix is to buy flavored soda water, like Bubbly, and then add some real fruit juice to it and that will give you the feel of soda, too, without all the extra sodium and artificial sweeteners.
Regarding the pants situation as I am in week 25 now: Underpants can be pushed a bit lower but investing in maternety ones one size up without an tight elastic band on the belly was the first big help. Lived in my yoga pants and leggins up until recently but again the tight band on the belly was becoming an issue. Now I am a proud owner of one pair of maternity pants and two Leggings. The yoga pants with a broad band still fit though.
I'm still super happy for you two! Don't sweat maternity pants. You might feel more comfy in leggings throughout your pregnancy (which they do make maternity ones without the panel), or you may fall in love with panel pants. Every body and every baby belly is different. I lived in maternity overalls and sweats with my first and maternity leggings and panel pants with my second. I do recommend finding a store that specializes in maternity, because bras are more comfy when fitted by someone else who only deals with pregnant and nursing boobs. Enjoy the peeps of joy! You've got friends and family who can help you navigate things that aren't being explained properly by you obgyn. Utilize them! And don't be afraid to stop your Dr before they leave the exam room to get questions answered. Just because you worked in a hospital as a nurse does not mean you can't be a patient. And if your Dr or the nurses don't answer your questions, let me know! I need a short vacay! ❤😂
I am over the moon happy for you ❤. Maybe your OB group has a midwife or a nurse practitioner, I find that those are a little better at talking and answering questions. My babies were born in October and November, at the end I was so hot I would open the windows wearing a tank top and shorts with a fan blowing on me while living in northern MN.
Maggie, first of all ,I'm so happy for you. There are so many changes that your body is going to go through. Not just hormonal. I'd say to buy a pregnancy book. You will need larger bras, pants and tops as you go. Your hair will definitely get thicker . My breast's changes so quickly. But that morning and night sickness was the worst. Even some aspects of your husband may make you feel ill. I could not handle seeing my husband naked 😂😂😂. You're going to get moody. You will cry easier.. be prepared. And sometimes, pregnancy sickness will hit you out of the blue.
On Walmarts site they have yoga pants 3 pair for 10.00. I just got them and use them for pj's. They are Time and True brand which runs true to size. I would get a size medium for now and a large for later. Right now you will get up in the morning and your bump will seem like it grew like crazy over night. That happens in the the 2nd trimester alot then it slows down in the 3rd trimester. Just get some newborn clothes that usually lasts for about 3 months. The next size is 0-3. An average baby size is about 6-7 lbs.
I love watching this journey! Also for Leroy if you have to leave him untucked it might be a good idea to buy longer fall shirt that go with leggings! I try to find ones that cover my butt with leggings lol

Maggie is a Nurse, she already knows
Oh Maggie, your little bump is just the cutest. I’m so happy for you both and look forward to the next update. Xxx
Your bump is so cute! So very happy for you both! 🥰
Find the book. What to expect when your expecting. I had my 1st baby at 19. Away from family. Hubby was a marine. I read and reread it every day and found out more everytime I read it
Great book!!!?
I gave that book to my sister when she became pregnant with her first baby. It is excellent!
What to expect when you are expecting lol 😂😂 , that's like the book the art of learning how to learn
My babies are grown, so I’m reliving the excitement with you guys. I’m the mama of two May babies. One thing that I would suggest is to get yourself something very special to wear for Christmas. Your first holiday as a mama.

You may not think you are showing yet but wait another month and bam there she is!

I am so happy for y’all. God is so good. Babies are a gift and a great responsiblitly
I can hardly wait to hear what you think when you feel baby move! It is such a great feeling and it is SO amazing.
It's such a miracle. My first was IVF, my second (a so ), was a surprise when she turned 2. I was 40 the month before he was born. ❤❤
Old navy has the BEST full panel maternity pants and they always have killer deals

My daughter would write a letters to her baby on that day, like the day she felt him move right through her whole pregnancy ❤😊

Yes, you need to be your own advocate. That’s just the way it is. You are doing a great job. ❤️

I am not one to comment on channels, but I just can't wait to see you hold that sweet baby!
She's gettin a baby bump🤰🏻So cute Maggie. So happy for you and Zack😊💕
How exciting! Enjoy your baby book.
This is so fun! It's bringing back memories of my pregnancy! I also had a loss with my first pregnancy, so I totally get the anxiety. Both my babies were girls!
Me too!!
It’s so wonderful to see how excited you are! Enjoy every moment of this pregnancy! ❤
I can see your happiness ❤ you’re feeling better 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 , you’re eating , that’s fantastic.
You are glowing dear Maggie ❤ So happy for you and Zac ❤ Much love from Germany ❤

I'm wondering are you going to do a baby registry on Amazon🍼?
Thank you for sharing and so nice to hear all is doing well for you and your little one do all the best and keep smiling 😊
I love hearing your journey
You are glowing Maggie! Hurray for tight pants and a growing baby! Are you beyond the rubber band trick for your pants? Your belly will take a while to go down post-parted. Mountain Dew is what helped me
OMG HIS LAUGH IS SO ADORABLE YOU TWO ARE SO ADORABLE TOGETHER HUGS AND KISSES LOVE TINA FROM CALIFORNIA ❤❤
Good to know everything is going good with the pregnancy ❤❤ I hope for the next months to be good as well, so happy for you guys ☺️♥️
So happy for you guys ❤. Maggie, you are so fortunate you are able to stay home, rest and nap whenever. That’s awesome. I had to work full-time during both of my pregnancies.

I also carried little cut pieces of raw ginger to chew on when the nausea was bad. I’d get about an hour of nausea relief after chewing on the ginger piece.
Such an exciting time!!!! Enjoy!!❤❤
Oh I remember that wonderful happy baby bubble and it’s especially wonderful to see you going through this it’s so happy for you
Love seeing you & Zac so excited! It's a real day brightener!
The juicy outfit made me lol. It’s gonna be cute and comfy! Maybe I’d call those ornaments pearl? I’m with you on the reusing gift bags. My friends and I have been passing the same ones around for years.
You should get the book what to expect when you are expecting you can find it anywhere I loved that book when I was pregnant it told me everything I needed to know
Make it easy Maggie get a pre-lit Christmas tree there’s so much easier I used to get the ones you have to stain the lights yourself. These are so handy makes it so much easier than all you have to do is decorate.
I can’t wait to see the doggies’ reaction when baby starts moving (if you happen to catch it on camera of course) ❤
You’re so cute Maggie. You are so excited and I love that for you.
So happy for you guys ❤ congratulations 🎉
Y'all are just precious, and I love watching your PG excitement. Thanks for sharing.
You're absolutely correct .Luck doctor communication is important, and yes, you need to hold these people accountable
Zak, it’s Leonid and Perseid! But I do love “the L one” and Palisade! 😂
Pregnancy pants are great! So comfortable. I even wore mine for awhile afterwards. I'm glad you were able to find some pants that you like for now. Hopefully you'll find some pregnancy ones that will fit you well. 💜
I invested in a pair of suspenders to use with larger pants (wear them under my shirt). You can buy a loose waist band that way.
The baby book was always my first trimester purchase too. Not too expensive just in case but enough to get excited about!
Yes, a lot of self-advocacy on my end as well. It is very normal to feel very anxious. However, I think once you start feeling the baby move you feel more at ease. You can poke your belly or drink cold water to make the baby move 😅❤️

You are going to feel her anyday now. It feels like bubbles at first the flutters then kicks. That happens pretty fast.
I hope to get to feel something like this someday ❤
Melindas is sooo good! They use Hatch chilis..my favourite!
At this early stage of pregnancy every outfit is going to be adorable! Lol.
Maggie, I understand not wanting to drink soda. If Zach opens one, try smelling the soda. I know it's weird, but it really worked for me.😊
That pink diaper bag in the TJ Maxx was soooo cute! Don't know if you seen it hanging there or not.💗
oh and that baby bump of yours is adorable....unfortunately it looks like mine.....im 61
Hi congratulations on all your good news that is just wonderful! I just had to point out as you are so cautious with your health and that of your baby that the artificial sweeteners in diet sodas are not great. Just a heads up. Take care ❤

Try Walmart or Target for maternity leggings.
Funny, my husband stockpiles all of Melinda's sauces when we see them there or at Homegoods.
Enjoy yourself. Treasure everyday of your pregnancy. It goes by so fast. 💝💝
So good to see you so happy
Sage green and pink are beautiful together.
dresses with an Empire waist would be perfect and then you can wear them again! super comfy.

Get the book “What to Expect when You’re Expecting”. It should be extremely helpful!!

Look in the men's department..the coats are roomier and have lots of pockets (saves having to carry a purse)
@lynhanna917 great idea!!!
There may be a second hand store - perhaps online? - that caters to maternity wear or just has a decent amount? I remember wearing mine for so little time that they were in excellent condition and I donated on to charity shops.

It's acculy something with the coke itself that usally help nausia and not anything else do the same

My babies were born in October and November, at the end I was so hot I would open the windows wearing a tank top and shorts with a fan blowing on me while living in northern MN.
Maggie, first of all ,I'm so happy for you. There are so many changes that your body is going to go through. Not just hormonal. I'd say to buy a pregnancy book. You will need larger bras, pants and tops as you go. Your hair will definitely get thicker . My breast's changes so quickly. But that morning and night sickness was the worst. Even some aspects of your husband may make you feel ill. I could not handle seeing my husband naked 😂😂😂. You're going to get moody. You will cry easier.. be prepared. And sometimes, pregnancy sickness will hit you out of the blue.
Amazing cool how happy u r pregnant
Love the sweater!
❤ love your videos!!
Take care.. ❤😊
Are you going to do a baby registry on Amazon for your followers to gift you guys things you need/want?
My son was 9lbs 12oz😮
After Thanksgiving Day😊I start my Christmas decor
I am so so happy for you and so glad that you got your juicy couture pant suit finally!!!! That's fantastic!!! Sending lots of love
It can be so different, with my first i barely showed obviously until i was 30 weeks, neat little bump, second child, i was huge early on!
On Walmarts site they have yoga pants 3 pair for 10.00. I just got them and use them for pj's. They are Time and True brand which runs true to size. I would get a size medium for now and a large for later. Right now you will get up in the morning and your bump will seem like it grew like crazy over night. That happens in the the 2nd trimester alot then it slows down in the 3rd trimester. Just get some newborn clothes that usually lasts for about 3 months. The next size is 0-3. An average baby size is about 6-7 lbs.
I love watching this journey! Also for Leroy if you have to leave him untucked it might be a good idea to buy longer fall shirt that go with leggings! I try to find ones that cover my butt with leggings lol
Ross is a great place to shop anything to do with you or baby
I loved old navy maternity leggings with both pregnancies. You can size up and it will cover your belly and bag without suffocating you.
Short torso here too! My belly was huge with both...and nothing else. I didn't look pregnant from behind
I used that app and checked the size for each theme (animal, food, game(I think the other was) every week as I don't tend to know all the animals/food
