In my country, there are several cash benefits for hospital checks, infant care, post-natal care for mums and so on but we don't get a baby box with gifts. I think it's a great idea but I don't think it would work in Korea just because people are too picky with what items and brands they want. Anyway, we have one of the lowest birth rate in the world so it's a huge problem here.
There are baby box schemes is various areas of the uk. It is to encourage underprivileged to attend for antenatal care (no attendance, no box). The evidence is there to support it, but unfortunately the uk health care system is reactive not preventative. As a maternity worker it is good to see in detail what is in it. Thank you, and best wishes.
Grama here in Alaska. Ive been wondering how you are doing, so nice to see this today. You are a beautiful pregnant lady, just don’t do too much. Allowing oneself to slow down is a gift. Enjoy your pregnancy. I cried just a little when you showed your baby kicking! New life is on the way!! Your knitting designs are fabulous. We are pretty cold right now, and wool is so warm and comforting. Thank you for your video.❤
Indeed! Take the time and rest now while you can. Life is about to get very busy and unpredictable. Love your work! I just finished my Cozy Cat Sweater---oh so cozy!!
Hello, Kika, from a fellow Finland Swede! The baby box was originally a help from UNICEF during WW II that we thankfully kept. I slept in mine. Many greetings and lycka till! I was so inspired by the striped pullover you made of leftover yarn I made one myself and I love it!
In Poland we don't have such boxes for children, but in my family there is a tradition: relatives make the so-called layette. It contains things for the mother that will be useful for her and the baby in the hospital after delivery 24:52 Minus 26 degrees Celsius?! I live in Poland, last week we had a maximum of minus 21 degrees Celsius. Where I live, the temperature was -19 to -17 degrees for three days and there were already problems, e.g. public transport had huge delays. So I can't imagine waking up at six in the morning to go to university at minus 26 degrees. It's great that you recorded this vlog, I like watching your videos and sometimes I watch older ones because they make me feel better about knitting. Good health to you and baby, stay warm!
The Baby Box is amazing! The beautiful quality of the contents is astounding! So glad you are realizing that you need to take time to get more rest even while you are so involved in your business.
Retired OB/gyn here. You look great!! Pregnancy brain is a thing. Take it easy on yourself. I think the pregnancy box is an amazing thing I wish my patients had had. Glad to see you again!
This idea was introduced in Scotland recently. My latest wee niece got her Baby Box ( or her parents did) and they used everything in it as well as using it for baby to sleep in for first few months. Her big sister could colour in the design on the outer box. It's a wonder idea, I'm so glad it's been introduced here. X
Hi kika. It's so good to see you back. You know what I've realised lately. . I follow other knitters on you tube but no one inspire me more that you to knit. I just love your designs. I have to admit I consider myself more of a crocherier than a knitter but last year I knitted your salt lake sweater for my daughter( that she loves) and I found your pattern really easy to follow so I was really proud of myself that I finished it . I really want to do another pattern of yours and I want to do the salt jumper again for myself now. Blessings to you and your loved ones and happy new year.❤ from Malta
In New Zealand you get a “pepi pod” which is also plastic tub that can be a baby bed which also comes with bedding, clothes and wraps. All maternity care pre- and post is free.
Dear Kika, it is so good to see you again, I really missed you the last couple of weeks. Yes, being sick during pregnancy is a pain that no woman needs and I am happy to see that you are well and smiling. Your work is wonderful and I always love to look through the pages of your book that I got for my birthday in April. It must be a lot of work to make everything possible and be at all those places- Take care and enjoy the times when it is a little quieter. :-)
I heard about the maternity boxes ! The infantile death was so high that Finland decided to solve the problem at the root and actually give the parent what they need. Apparently you also have like places where you can leave the baby, warm and safe in the box, to be adopted if you can't/don't want to care for it. It's anonymous and no questions asked and it's to fight all the times people abandoned the babies in the cold where they'd die before they could be found ! It's super efficient system too ! I wish we had it in France...
Pregnancy is EXHAUSTING. Good for others to know ;) I thought it was good training for having a newborn because, sweet Veronika, you don’t even know exhaustion until you’ve had a newborn! Be kind to yourself. ❤ And omg that blush colored cable sweater is AMAZING.
Your husband is such a patient and interesting man. I would love to take my husband to the yarn shop and show him all the colors and textures. But ..... So we farm together and that's good too
I loved your box of baby goodies. We don’t have that in Canada, but we do have free healthcare and one year maternity leave. Loved your episode. Best wishes as you head off on maternity leave, enjoy your time with your new babe-the time will precious!
a blessing for me when i was pregnant is i was pregnant during covid. i say its a blessing because no one touched me, and with everyone constantly cleaning i NEVER got sick! plus there was work from home. so many benefits for me at that time, and im grateful for it!
So absolutely lovely seeing your baby box! We have them in Scotland here too, inspired by Finland I believe - they were introduced just a few months before my twins were born so we were some of the first families to be fortunate enough to receive them. It is such a wonderful thing!
It’s so fun to be pregnant along with you! I’ve been feeling a lot of the same things- sleeping lots, and all the heartburn. My knots have gone quite oversized as well, I’m working the Wishbone sweater right now!
I'm very impressed with the Finnish baby box, the box that turns into a bed is genius! In Australia, we get a bag full of goodies. Instead of snowsuit our babies get a sun hat and a first aid kit. The rest is pretty similar.
Oh my goodness! You’re so busy. I don’t know how you find the energy. So excited for you and Juki. You’ll be amazing parents. Love from Virginia in Us. 💕💕💕
Hi there. So glad to see you're doing well. Be sure to take a breath and relax, you deserve it! Thanks again for all your lovely designs and tutorials. Much love from Oregon, USA.
OMG!I didn't know people like you existed! You are so talented. Take it easier. Your body is carrying two people now. Best wishes in 2024, and may your family be healthy and happy with the baby arriving soon.
The sweater you are wearing on the thumbnail! Is it handmade? Can’t find it in your design, is it coming out soon? We need v neck aran sweaters like that one! Stay strong during the cold season ❤ - 30 degrees Celsius is just unimaginable!
That is so wonderful. that your government gives you a box when you get pregnant! And how clever that even the box is a baby bed! I think this is a wonderful thing a government can do. Amazing! I wanted to say that you are one of the best pattern designers I've ever watched. Your sweaters are beautiful. And the joy you have when you knit is all over your face. You really love knitting. Soon, you will have the baby and you will probably slow down the knitting for a while, but that's okay. Enjoy this time. It is one of the most wonderful times in a life, having a baby. Congratulations to you both. Maybe by the next podcast you will have a new baby!
That is such a great idea to have a package like that!!! Especially the fact that baby could sleep in the box itself! That is actually all tiny ones need - simple bedding!
So happy to be seeing this video, Veronika. I must say that I was getting a bit worried for you not seeing you posting videos for a while. So glad your pregnancy is proceeding well, despite some hiccups. It's always very interesting seeing your beautiful projects and work. Keep going dear Kika! ❤ Chiara (Italy)
You are so talented and I really appreciate you - your videos are an absolute pleasure to watch. I hope you can be easy on yourself and show yourself some grace - having a baby is overwhelming but you are going to be a wonderful mom. Yes there will be hard days and mom guilt is real (ugh) but the journey is beautiful and amazing too! Thank you for all you do! 💕
What a great idea with the baby box❤. You look beautiful as usually with that lovely baby glow. Love all your knitted sweaters, such a talent. Take care, stay strong and keep knitting 🧶
Wow you manage to keep so busy even with your energy going into growing the baby. You are so right UK 🇬🇧 Scottish 🏴 Bon net is how you say that for your beautiful bonnet! 🧢 ❤
Hi Kika! It was so nice to meet you in Oslo ❤ In Poland we do have the same baby box! A friend of mine has a baby and I saw the box couple of years ago, everything was so sweet 😃😍
So good to be catching up on a backlog of your lovely, brilliantly made videos. You've such a talent for making wonderful content. I feel i very an insight into Finnish life each time I watch. My husband will sometimes watch with me too. We do enjoy them. I'm coming to this one some weeks late, but it's even more of a treat amto accompany my Sunday morning knitting, knowing I have a few to catch up on. Xxx
Kika, Sending love,light and peace. take a breath… or two and just remember, all of the little things we worry or stress about in life really don’t matter in the big picture. Bought your book as a Christmas present to myself and it’s simply beautiful. As are you!
Wow pregnancy really has added to your creative juices. I just love your new designs. I mean I love everything you do. But your new designs are very elegant. I can’t believe how much you have gotten done. Wow.
I can’t wait for your lacy summer top tone I bought couple of your patterns I think you are the most creative knitter and you contraction of your pattern really blow my minds. Hope your summer Lacey to be ready for sale real soooooon❤
Congratulations on your expected bundle of joy. ❤ Thank you for sharing all your wonderful work with us. It's great to see other countries and traditions. I live in Alaska, USA. I love the Cozy Coco hood. I think that would be a wonderful head covering in the cold weather and so pretty and stylish. Happy 2024! ❤
I watched this while finishing the ribbing on the sleeves of your cinema sweater pattern! It's my first sweater I have ever knit and I have really really enjoyed it! So easy to follow and I think the perfect beginner sweater knit! Good luck with your sweet new baby!
As someone else said, your videos make me feel warm -- even looking at all that snow! Do take care of yourself, forget about the patterns for a while, we can wait. I think right now we're all much more invested in you resting and having a gorgeous healthy baby. Hope you'll show him to us SOON! Hugs from Boston.
So happy to see this video! Happy 2024 to you from Michigan US. I look forward to your beanie patterns. Thank you love love your patterns and please more about the yarns you use. ❤
Hormones are all over the place when you are pregnant it’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed and teary. Just Remember to look after Yourself put your feet up when you can! The Baby Box was Fabulous and so Beautiful. We don’t have that there in Australia 🇦🇺. Take Care x❤
You are such a delight! Thank you for sharing your life with us and your wonderful expected package. Have been concerned with your wellness. It is so wonderful to see and hear you again.
great podcast, again. thanks for sharing. you look happy/glowing with pregnancy! just remember pregnancy is a full time job, some of your energy is constantly used for your baby, so beware of your own needs. and your darker hair gives you a more mature/ motherly look. I like it. we do not have baby-boxes in switzerland. your pattern are stunning and very fitting for the cold weather. I wish you and your family a healthy and funny new year… Take care 🧶🎉❤🇨🇭
Hello Kika, and warm greetings from Switzerland! I thank you for the beautiful energy and patterns that you always produce! I definitely admire the energy and enthusiasm you have doing all that you do and being pregnant at the same time. You live in a gorgeous part of the world and made yourself a sweet family. Your baby will be a lucky one :-). I wish you , Yuki, your baby and your wonderful cat a SPLENDID 2024.
Another wonderful video! I’m currently finishing up my cinema sweater and will be making your Darling Cardigan next. Also I have my yarn picked out for salty days sweater as well. I had bad acid reflux when I was pregnant. I highly recommend a sleeping wedge to lie on. It really helps. Motherhood is a magical journey full of ups and downs. Highs and lows. Enjoy every precious moment!
Yes, bonnet is correct word and you say the 't' at the end 😊 And having matching ones with the baby would be so cool! And they are so much more useful than beanies in the coldest days, your ears won't be feeling like ice picks. Oh and Kika, I made 4 Marshmallow Beanies, one was kinda flop because I chose wrong yarn, but it will be remade into a cowl, but other 3, they're great. I made one for my mum but granny saw it and stole it before mum could even touch it, so I had to knit another and then I thought that I also deserve good wool beanie 😂 I have the yarn and pattern for Grandmacore Hood, I just need courage to make lace for the first time in my life. But the Cosy Coco looks so.. cosy. The best word for it! And the bow!
great video like always thank you for sharing quick tip if you can afford to hire a cleaning lady or an assistant to get things done around the house so you can sit back and relax works great I also get overwhelmed and anxious and that tip always helps wind down 😍
That pale pink cabled bobbled sweater is the sweater of my dreamssss. I cannot wait to immediately but the finished pattern!!! Praying for a calm few weeks before baby is here!!! So excited for you to enter this new phase of life with baby boy!!! I have two little girls, 3 and almost 2 and they are the best thing ever!!! Thank you for your videos I know we all enjoy them so much!!! ❤❤
We moved to Finland last year and I have been checking all the yarn stores in your video and bought your book! I hope to see you someday in real life, probably won’t bother you but you are my local hero! Love your videos and your pregnancy journey (very real).
That bobblelicoius sweater is amazing!!! And I say, take all the relaxation time you need while you're pregnant! Your body is doing a ton of work to grow the baby even while you lay down and relax. Plus, once the baby comes, I don't think he is going to care if you have a few messy drawers in the house 🤣
Just watched your wonderful podcast Your knits are always so lovely and all colours I love You are such a sweetie … excited to see your new baby soon!!! It will all fall into place after you have the baby … your motherly instinct’s will kick in ❤❤❤you pods Take care… keep your spirit high Until your next pod .. see you then 😊🥰
The shots in nature were super beautiful! ❤ I hope you will have a relaxed and comfortable third trimester, and are able to rest. You more than deserve it!
I had a similar reflux problem when i was pregnant with my kids. I have found that laying on my right side with a pillow in my back (to keep me in place) helps a lot. love listening to your Vlogs. Best wishes!
It's so good to see you again! I've been thinking of you and hoping all is well. Try not to stress out to much, just breath and rest when you feel like it! Love seeing your projects there so amazing, your such an inspiration...thank you!❤
Hello! I have been looking forward to a new blog of yours on RUclips. I have also bought your book just recently and really tempted to try a cardigan from it. Love your patterns. Aww I would say be kind to yourself and do as much as you can do ❤
Thank you for making so lovely and inspirational youtube episodes. Your knittingpatterns are so beautiful and although I diden't know how too knit bobbels and braids, you maid so good tutorials, so now I find so must happiness knitting new things from your book🥰(pardon my english🙃)
Boxes for the coming babies are genius! Such a thoughtful and kind thing to do, especially for families that are not able to buy all those things for themselves❤ Now I'm wondering, how long is maternity leave there? And is there something similar for daddies too?
Lovely video and knits, as usually. Breathe! Slow down! Savor these last few weeks - don't miss them! There will be plenty of time for everything later. Wishing you all the best in your cozy nest. ❤❤❤
Love your designs! It was so good to see this video and how you are getting on, but I'm sorry you have been unwell. Look after yourself in the coming weeks and don't do too much. xx
Kika..you are such an inspiration. And in spite of flu bugs, etc, you are still upbeat and smiling. Yes, I can attest to the 'baby brain' we women get when we are pregnant (and a little after) but I think it is nature's way of re-aligning our focus to baby mode. It is a transition from life before baby and life after baby comes. It is wonderful! Many congratulations to both you and Yuki in your family life and business enterprises. Greetings from Toronto, Canada
I am in England and help is extremely targeted to the most basic level so most people qualify for very little. Having said that atleast most healthcare is free at the point of delivery. lovely to see you again looking well
What a great maternity box, it is just wonderful !!! We don't have that in Canada. I marvel at all you accomplish while also making a new being. Congratulations for all your work !
Hi Kika, love your videos and your knits and your jewelery. Everytime I think your jewelery elevates your knits! Maybe you could show and how to style|elevate your knits with your jewelery 😃
😂 when you come out of the building with your package you were filming and very happy and smiling so beautifully , you left Juki to make his way through the door carrying that huge box without help. 😅 it was a funny innocent mistake.
I’ve heard experts describe pregnancy as a “war” between the baby with its amazing placenta and the mom’s body. If you’re feeling frantic and discombobulated, that seems totally reasonable! All best wishes to you Kika, I’ll miss you while you’re getting into your new life, enjoy it as much as you can. ❤
Thank you for another wonderful Vlog! So much content. You should be proud of yourself you manage to accomplish so much and it it so enjoyable to see all your beautiful creations. Pace yourself, you are doing great! Take good care.
Baby box? Waw, such a good idea! I felt that, after having my first baby, stuff that was very stressful before didn't stress me so much after. Having a baby brought me a sense of calm and I guess it change some of my priority. Also, for writing your pattern, maybe you could do something like 30 min a day of writing: maybe dividing it in small chuck could work for you and feel less overwhelming. 😊

I really enjoy your vlogs ❤ it's like watching an episode on Netflix 🥰 I am also surprised your camera works without any problems at -26°C 😅💪 Best wishes from a fellow pregnant lady 😊
In Scotland, we get a baby box like that too. We borrowed the idea from Finland, so thank you!

I would be completely willing to pay high taxes to live in such a considerate, civilized environment. Blessings to you, Kika!
I’m pretty certain if a conservative said something similar, they would be branded a racist.

Thank you for the podcat Kika 💞 I wish you all the best!!!!!!!!! 🤗😘
The blush color sweater is going to be gorgeous ❤. All your sweaters are, but that one caught my eye in particular!
Hi there. So glad to see you're
doing well. Be sure to take a breath and relax, you deserve it! Thanks again for all your lovely designs and tutorials. Much love from Oregon, USA.
OMG!I didn't know people like you existed! You are so talented. Take it easier. Your body is carrying two people now. Best wishes in 2024, and may your family be healthy and happy with the baby arriving soon.
I love that you are a West Wing fan, we binge the box sets every time we are short of some quality tv. Glad you are all ok and you are blossoming ❤
Thank you for sharing so much of your journey with all of us✨
Be kind & gentle with yourself xx

Happy tird trimester, don't forget to rest. That pink hat is so lovely!
In Sweden we don’t get a baby box like that, that seems like such a nice thing!

Only 3seconds in and need to comment: I am at this moment casting on a red cosy coco hood, too! Seeing yours in action gave me a huge smile!

Hormones are all over the place when you are pregnant it’s not uncommon to feel overwhelmed and teary. Just Remember to look after Yourself put your feet up when you can! The Baby Box was Fabulous and so Beautiful. We don’t have that there in Australia 🇦🇺. Take Care x❤
Love your projects. Keep well and don’t stress so much. Everything will fall into place.
You are such a delight! Thank you for sharing your life with us and your wonderful expected package. Have been concerned with your wellness. It is so wonderful to see and hear you again.
Great package, such lovely things for your baby. It looks so beautiful and of course your talk went well! 😊
great podcast, again. thanks for sharing.
you look happy/glowing with pregnancy! just remember pregnancy is a full time job, some of your energy is constantly used for your baby, so beware of your own needs. and your darker hair gives you a more mature/ motherly look. I like it. we do not have baby-boxes in switzerland.
your pattern are stunning and very fitting for the cold weather.
I wish you and your family a healthy and funny new year…
Take care 🧶🎉❤🇨🇭
The motivation i get as a beginner knitter to become better, just so i can knit all of your gorgeous patterns… 😍🩷
Hello Kika, and warm greetings from Switzerland! I thank you for the beautiful energy and patterns that you always produce! I definitely admire the energy and enthusiasm you have doing all that you do and being pregnant at the same time. You live in a gorgeous part of the world and made yourself a sweet family. Your baby will be a lucky one :-). I wish you , Yuki, your baby and your wonderful cat a SPLENDID 2024.
❤ Wünsche euch viel Glück und Spaß und Freude mit dem Baby. 🎉
Another wonderful video! I’m currently finishing up my cinema sweater and will be making your Darling Cardigan next. Also I have my yarn picked out for salty days sweater as well. I had bad acid reflux when I was pregnant. I highly recommend a sleeping wedge to lie on. It really helps. Motherhood is a magical journey full of ups and downs. Highs and lows. Enjoy every precious moment!
Yes, bonnet is correct word and you say the 't' at the end 😊 And having matching ones with the baby would be so cool! And they are so much more useful than beanies in the coldest days, your ears won't be feeling like ice picks.
Oh and Kika, I made 4 Marshmallow Beanies, one was kinda flop because I chose wrong yarn, but it will be remade into a cowl, but other 3, they're great. I made one for my mum but granny saw it and stole it before mum could even touch it, so I had to knit another and then I thought that I also deserve good wool beanie 😂 I have the yarn and pattern for Grandmacore Hood, I just need courage to make lace for the first time in my life. But the Cosy Coco looks so.. cosy. The best word for it! And the bow!
great video like always thank you for sharing quick tip if you can afford to hire a cleaning lady or an assistant to get things done around the house so you can sit back and relax works great I also get overwhelmed and anxious and that tip always helps wind down 😍
That pale pink cabled bobbled sweater is the sweater of my dreamssss. I cannot wait to immediately but the finished pattern!!! Praying for a calm few weeks before baby is here!!! So excited for you to enter this new phase of life with baby boy!!! I have two little girls, 3 and almost 2 and they are the best thing ever!!! Thank you for your videos I know we all enjoy them so much!!! ❤❤
Scotland also gift a baby box to every new baby born here 🏴 Getting ready for a new arrival is so exciting. Enjoy every minute xx
We moved to Finland last year and I have been checking all the yarn stores in your video and bought your book! I hope to see you someday in real life, probably won’t bother you but you are my local hero! Love your videos and your pregnancy journey (very real).
That bobblelicoius sweater is amazing!!! And I say, take all the relaxation time you need while you're pregnant! Your body is doing a ton of work to grow the baby even while you lay down and relax. Plus, once the baby comes, I don't think he is going to care if you have a few messy drawers in the house 🤣
Just watched your wonderful podcast
Your knits are always so lovely and all colours I love
You are such a sweetie … excited to see your new baby soon!!!
It will all fall into place after you have the baby … your motherly instinct’s will kick in
❤❤❤you pods
Take care… keep your spirit high
Until your next pod .. see you then 😊🥰
I am so glad you are back. You are such a beautiful person. Please take it easy right now.
The shots in nature were super beautiful! ❤
I hope you will have a relaxed and comfortable third trimester, and are able to rest. You more than deserve it!
I had a similar reflux problem when i was pregnant with my kids. I have found that laying on my right side with a pillow in my back (to keep me in place) helps a lot. love listening to your Vlogs. Best wishes!
I love your videos especially I often watch knitting challenge videos when I knit🫶🤍 take care☺️🌈
It's so good to see you again! I've been thinking of you and hoping all is well. Try not to stress out to much, just breath and rest when you feel like it! Love seeing your projects there so amazing, your such an inspiration...thank you!❤
Yes, “bonnet” is the correct word. Your English is superb! Love your channels and all the exquisite designs!
Hello! I have been looking forward to a new blog of yours on RUclips. I have also bought your book just recently and really tempted to try a cardigan from it. Love your patterns.
Aww I would say be kind to yourself and do as much as you can do ❤
Thank you for making so lovely and inspirational youtube episodes. Your knittingpatterns are so beautiful and although I diden't know how too knit bobbels and braids, you maid so good tutorials, so now I find so must happiness knitting new things from your book🥰(pardon my english🙃)
Boxes for the coming babies are genius! Such a thoughtful and kind thing to do, especially for families that are not able to buy all those things for themselves❤ Now I'm wondering, how long is maternity leave there? And is there something similar for daddies too?
Lovely video and knits, as usually. Breathe! Slow down! Savor these last few weeks - don't miss them! There will be plenty of time for everything later. Wishing you all the best in your cozy nest. ❤❤❤
Love your designs! It was so good to see this video and how you are getting on, but I'm sorry you have been unwell. Look after yourself in the coming weeks and don't do too much. xx
Kika..you are such an inspiration. And in spite of flu bugs, etc, you are still upbeat and smiling. Yes, I can attest to the 'baby brain' we women get when we are pregnant (and a little after) but I think it is nature's way of re-aligning our focus to baby mode. It is a transition from life before baby and life after baby comes. It is wonderful! Many congratulations to both you and Yuki in your family life and business enterprises. Greetings from Toronto, Canada
I am in England and help is extremely targeted to the most basic level so most people qualify for very little. Having said that atleast most healthcare is free at the point of delivery. lovely to see you again looking well
What a great maternity box, it is just wonderful !!! We don't have that in Canada. I marvel at all you accomplish while also making a new being. Congratulations for all your work !
Hi Kika, love your videos and your knits and your jewelery. Everytime I think your jewelery elevates your knits! Maybe you could show and how to style|elevate your knits with your jewelery 😃
Great idea and thank you so much 😀😀
😂 when you come out of the building with your package you were filming and very happy and smiling so beautifully , you left Juki to make his way through the door carrying that huge box without help. 😅 it was a funny innocent mistake.
I’ve heard experts describe pregnancy as a “war” between the baby with its amazing placenta and the mom’s body. If you’re feeling frantic and discombobulated, that seems totally reasonable! All best wishes to you Kika, I’ll miss you while you’re getting into your new life, enjoy it as much as you can. ❤
Ohhhhh I love your hair cut, bangs !!! Great video and great to see you
So nice to see you again, enjoy the slow time and rest.
Thank you for another wonderful Vlog! So much content. You should be proud of yourself you manage to accomplish so much and it it so enjoyable to see all your beautiful creations. Pace yourself, you are doing great! Take good care.
Baby box? Waw, such a good idea! I felt that, after having my first baby, stuff that was very stressful before didn't stress me so much after. Having a baby brought me a sense of calm and I guess it change some of my priority. Also, for writing your pattern, maybe you could do something like 30 min a day of writing: maybe dividing it in small chuck could work for you and feel less overwhelming. 😊
I really enjoy your vlogs ❤ it's like watching an episode on Netflix 🥰
I am also surprised your camera works without any problems at -26°C 😅💪
Best wishes from a fellow pregnant lady 😊
