Dear Kylie, My heart just went out to you so much in the video. This situation happened to me 21 years ago. After a normal first pregnancy with a beautiful baby boy I tried for a few years to get pregnant and nothing, then just before I started fertility treatment I found out I was pregnant and had a beautiful baby girl but shortly after birth she was diagnosed with spina bifida which had been missed during my pregnancy I was distraught and thought I would never come to terms with her diagnosis but I fell pregnant again quite quickly, I had to do lots of genetic testing given her condition and was given the horrific news that my 3rd pregnancy was not going to be viable, myself and my husband had 4 weeks of going back and forwards over how to proceed. They called us back to do the final testing with results being given 2 days before Xmas. When we got the call to say all was ok the relief was overwhelming, we had the best Xmas ever and I delivered a perfect little baby boy. My daughter despite all the odds against her has a perfectly normal life, she is training to be a nurse and is a stunningly beautiful, kind and caring young woman and my little miracle of a third child has just come in from work, he’s a 6ft strapping boy, a qualified plumber now and asked what’s for tea! I couldn’t ask for 3 better children. I adore them all! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy, try not to worry and soon you will be holding another little bundle of joy in your arms ❤
Ο Χριστος μας και η Παναγια μας μαζι σας Kylie μου. May Christ and the Theotokos be with you always dearest Kylie and Guido. You bring so much sunshine into our lives. Thank you. All our prayers for all four of you.
You have really been through it but thankfully with happy news I think it makes you a little stronger ❤love your videos one of my favourite deserts never apologise for showing your emotions that's what makes us humans
We take healthy babies for granted, and we should fall to our knees and thank God for every healthy delivery....so glad your results were excellent....now go forward with peace of mind....hugs
Yes, we do take healthy babies for granted. But there are millions of Down Syndrome babies who are beyond loved, wanted and living beautiful lives. Please don’t reduce a special needs baby to someone who is less than. I’ve read most all of the comments here and am saddened by many of them.
Oh my ... terrible to put you through all of those emotions ( not good for baby !!) I don't think that they should give the initial information to the parents. I'm so happy that all is well, ofcourse, but .. I still frown on the fact that the parents are unnecessarily subjected to that whole array of emotions ( and thus hormones ). 🤍🙏🏼🌼 please protect your peace 🤍🌤🌞
I have an almost 4yrs old little girl. We only started watching tv with her when she turned 3. Not really cartoons but classical orchestral concerts, children choir music, wildlife or natural shows so she can learn something new. I cannot recommend it enough. She is the most independent and creative player. We rotate her toys so she plays with everything but she doesn’t need much because she makes up her own roll plays. She prefers books over a cartoon. She started to memorize all her books at age 20 months, reading to her instead of putting her in-front of the tv gave her such a rich vocabulary. I know it’s a lot of work but now I see all the results. 🥰 I am also a little old fashioned haha in this crazy fast world.
Mum made pavlova once but it was like rocks and we allways joked about it years after! Nardi was very good at scones you may recall and being a great hostess. Glad the baby is healthy and its good to realise the truly important things and forget the rest. I fractured my spine in July and have had such incredible support from people i never knew before but now i see them as my Sally team and so grateful to them all❤ Best wishes for a beautiful peaceful birth 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Hi Kylie, 25 years ago I had the same testing experience you did. The doctors thought I may be having a down syndrome child. I went through the same process and found out that I was having a healthy baby. I totally understand what you just went through and the relief is palpable! Congratulations on your great news!!❤ Great news on the air conditioning which completely changes life and a pool to enjoy on a hot summer day! You are blessed!! Keep up the good work!!❤
Another great video and thank you for sharing your story so much stress. I had a premature baby and we almost lost her but the great hospital in Toronto saved her and she is now perfect 19 year old. Not the same thing you went through but the stress is always there. Sending hugs as it’s not easy being a mother no matter where you are in the world.
Praise be to God that the baby is healthy!!! Kylie, when you first announced your pregnancy, I felt IMMEDIATELY led to pray for the baby and have been since. Now I know why! SO grateful!!!!
Kylie, I am crying watching you speak about your pregnancy 😢. We all will be praying for you that your baby will be just as healthy as GianFranco! What a horrible experience hearing there could be a problem. We are all with you and are happy that you got good news!! 👍✅🙏😘❤️
OMG! The doctor to me should have said they want to get another test to roll out any other issues. My goodness, that is a hard one for two people to hear and then sit and worry about that. You are young and the same with your husband and my god you eat so healthily. All the exercising, fresh air, swimming, walks. Fresh produce right out your window. He could have just had you get a test and not say anything. I am in shock about that. Wishing you the very best in days going forward and growing that little human. You got this Kylie; you did a beautiful job of bringing that little boy into this world.
Cannot comprehend the agonizing week you both just endured. How awlful of them to tell you that before being sure. Bless your pregnancy, this new baby and your family
That’s the medical people for you; they often scare people before they’ve any definitive evidence on which to base their hypothesis. Often wild guesses.
Thank you for sharing your story, I am grateful too that your baby is ok. I am glad that you are grateful and it is good to recognize the many blessings we have…… my youngest daughter was born with spins bifida, has had over thirty surgeries and then the unbelievable news that she has terminal cancer after all her suffering has come to us in the last 9 months. She is the kindest, sweetest person with very little complaining despite her pain…much more to say but I guess most of us don’t realize our blessings until they are taken away. I will say that God has given us strength through it all.
Omg why would those stupid Dr's presume all that misinformation so early on😮. When all they had to say was to suggest further tests due to your age, which you would accept. Sending hugs to you hunny. So glad all is well. Thank you for sharing your life. Love to all. ❤ Rosie O x 🏴
So happy for your good news ❤️🙏but please, consider what you went through the first time and find a new doctor and facility. I would question why they gave you this news and you had to suffer for a week!
Dearest Kylie, so thrilled everything is fine with your baby. Pregnancy and infancy can be full of ups and downs...so often doctors give us the wrong prognosis. I was told my newborn daughter would probably have cystic fibrosis for some obscure reasons that I can now not remember - 24 yrs ago! Happy to say she was perfectly healthy, beautiful and fine. Stay positive, strong and happy! ❤
Yes. My Daughter in law too was told there was something wrong with her baby. We were all worried. Her baby girl was small, but fine! She’s a petite little smart little beauty!
Dearest Kylie (hugs) I was so happy that all turned out well for your situation. It was so precious of you to share your life experience with all of us. May it bring encouragement to others, who may be facing something similar. You are so, a part of our lives and we celebrate with you for the good report 🎉 But, most importantly, we ( love ) you and your family. Take good care of you....looking forward to seeing your beautiful life in Tuscany. ❤️
Kylie, my heart leaped out to you. I got pregnant after having heavy chemo for a rare ovarian cancer so it was recommended to me to have the amniocentesis test (I imagine that it what you had). Results, probably spinal bifida. My now healthy 26 yr. Old has a tiny buckle -like a dimple - at her tail bone - evidence of a close call. Her spinal column DID close, just. Your horror and fear, I can completely empathize with. Your story is an example of "you never know what people are going through." Love your very healing kitchen. Sending you love and strength. ❤
Wow, I have the same thing! When I was little my brother and I didn't understand why he didn't have a "back button", eventually my mom explained it as " you were almost in a wheelchair " and that was that. It wasn't until I had a c-section at 21 that I found out it was spina bifida occulta. I'm 56 now and it's never given me a minute of trouble, no back pain or anything but I do wonder what would have happened if my mom had all the tests etc they do today.
Oh my goodness what an unbelievably traumatic, life-changing experience -10 full days of waiting when they told you it was high risk, I honestly couldn’t believe my ears Kylie. I hope you can feel all the affection of your viewers - like we are sending you one enormous group hug. Thank heavens the result was ok in the end. How you had the strength in the last episode to get through it all is incredible. Bless you and Guido, you’re both amazing❤💜🧡
Thank God for a very good outcome! Thank you for sharing these difficult moments, it allows us to know that we can survive difficult times and find joy and gratitude in everything❤️
Oh Kylie I just want give a massive hug… you are all going to be ok… I always felt that in my heart. God never gives you anything that you can’t handle. He loves you😘🤗💕🤗
Kylie, im so honored to have recieved your true self and feelings from your personal struggle with your newest baby! Thank u for being so real and authentic, and vulnerable! May God bless your sweet family and life! Praying nothing but goodness, love and joy to you and yours!🎉❤🎉❤
You really are lucky Kylie to get good news after your stressful week of waiting. I’m so happy for your joyful outcome. Being filled with Gratitude will carry you through your life. My sister had a condition like you were dreading, which her short life had a life long effect on my parents.. but also filled them with so much love and gratitude for my siblings & me. It’s a wonderful feeling to be loved so unconditionally like that; your children are truly blessed. Your child rearing reminds me of Montessori practices. Pavlova is a family favourite, so loved this!
My eyes began to water as you began to share your story. I listened carefully, but stopped once to pray for you. God has truly blessed your family. The Pavlova looked beautiful and delicious. Thank you for sharing your life with your us. ❤
I'm so overjoyed for you to get that wonderful DNA reassurance you needed! Praise our Lord! Your Pavlova was spectacular! 🎉 I also heard your katydids singing l loudly in the background! We also have them in the USA & they often start in July, so they've just started out here! Along with crickets, they are my most beloved summer sounds!
Hi Kylie, hope and praying everything is going well for you and baby. Take good care of yourself and know love and prayers are coming your way. God Bless you and whole family.
I’m so grateful your baby is healthy and I applaud you for keeping your son screen free…as an early childhood specialist I know how important it is for the all the reasons you so wonderfully explained.
So glad to hear this good news. A similar thing happened to a friend where she was frightened in the extreme by medical people that conveyed a diagnosis without having all the information. And like you became in a very fragile state. Honestly, in my opinion this is a form of malpractice. That said, it’s all very lovely and you’ve inspired me to make a Pavlova. God bless.
@@jgriffin282 Sadly, having worked in the medical field for many years now retired, there are all too many who seem to take on an air of rapacious sanctimony as to act before any thought of empathy. The joke years ago was that MD stood not for Medical Doctor, but rather medical deity. A state that seems to be even more so prevalent today unfortunately.
kylie I'm so pleased everything is going to be ok with your baby, please don't apologise for getting emotional, it's so good of you to share your very private experience because it will definitely help someone else who is maybe going through it. x❤ and on a seperate note, I dont know why publishers aren't inundating you with offers to make a cookbook or teaming up with your sister who is a nutritionist because there is so much information and cookbooks out there but your recipes and advice about healthy eating are so great and the proof is in the pudding, as they say, 😅 only have to look at you and your sister, how good and healthy you both look. X
The first video I watched was you sewing clothes out of curtains/tablecloths during Covid lockdown. Wild to see 4yrs later, second bub on the way! Love from Australia 🇦🇺
I am so glad you told us because that kind of pain needs to be shared by your friends around the world. We are also so happy for the final results. Such emotional lows and highs.
this video was amazing kylie. the contrast between the baking session and u telling ur experience at the doctor was so relatable. im often talking about the most serious stuff while just making a coffee or something. so glad that babygirl is okay!!!
I'm late to the game here but right now I just want to reach through the screen and give you a really really really big tight squeezy bear hug! I got emotional when you got emotional and I could not fathom what you went through. We will be with you through this all the way. As for the pavlova, my arms were getting tired watching you whisk. I tried hand whisking egg whites into stiff peaks but my arms got so tired. This looks like something I can put fresh sliced mango on. But I would have to use a stand mixer to do the meringue. Lastly, kudos to you for keeping Gianfranco screen-free of all devices. It's a shame when I go to a restaurant and see kids pull their phones out and there's no real talking around the table. In my day, I would play with my friends until dusk and loved the friendships built that way. No social media to get in the way. Good for you and Guido for being great parents.
Kylie, A copper bowl can really help with the egg whites. You can get them with a round bottom which helps a bit more. Great video. Im so happy for you that your news turned out OK.
Thank you for sharing such an intimate experience. It reminded me to be grateful. I know that gratitude actually makes me happy, but at the end I am only a human and I keep forgetting about it. I just want to say that I cried with you and I feel relieved that it is all good. You are a beautiful soul. I love your videos and I wish you will never have to go through such difficult moments again. I love values that you represent, your taste, you professionalism. I wish you and all your beautiful family all the best.
Oh I so wanted to hug you sweet Kylie, when you started to cry. You getting emotional got me emotional too 🥹❤️ And happy to hear all is well with your baby 🙏
Crying along side you because babies health is something I prayed for everyday even after birth- 2 years old this month ❤ We are wonderfully made. So happy for your relief
Here's a virtual hug filled with love and good tidings! As a mother, I cried with you. I prayed for your family and the baby, who will be healthy. I'm so happy you get to raise your children in such a beautiful place.
Oh Kylie, to see you so honest, it's making me cry with you! To know that you and Guido had that kind of news, so good you have each other. I am so happy God blessed you with good news 🙏 God is good, I am glad your parents were with you thru this and so happy you have Guido as well. I bet extra hugs and smooches were bestowed on your precious Gianfranco.
Kylie, thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your heart. We are all celebrating with you for your healthy baby and will continue to pray for your pregnancy. Your family is beautiful, and you are all so loved! Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us! I love that you are raising Gian-Franco screen free in his early years. What a gift to give him. You are an inspiration! Your light shines through in all you do. ❤
Non avere paura Kylie, la tua bambina sarà veramente in salute e bellissima come te. Il suo angelo custode la proteggerà e l’ affiderà all’amore del buon Dio.🙏❤️
God bless you guys and your family. I’ve gone through similar and my baby is a healthy 26 year old today. I can relate to you so much because we’ve lived through renovations too. These challenges do cause you to have gratitude for every little thing and I love seeing you display that gratitude.
You are so blessed, my niece had a daughter that only lived a few hours that happened to her. She also has a Downs Syndrome baby girl, but some how she and her husband and all of us handle it so well, only thru the grace of God you can get thru all these things in our lives. I’m so glad everything turned out for y’all. ❤
Kylie, this is the most vulnerable I have ever seen you. I'm sitting here crying with you. You have had such challenges with your pregnancies. Im so relieved for you that your baby is healthy. I couldn't imagine the alternative. You are truly amazing to me! Such a beautiful woman you are❤. A beautiful future ahead.
I’m so moved to tears by your story. I am so elated that you received joyous news after all!! I am an old woman now (67) with grown children but they were adopted after 2 miscarriages. And I adore them but the pregnancy losses were difficult. We as women are asked to endure so much. The drive to nurture those we love is paramount! You ( and Guido ) are truly blessed!!! Congratulations!!!!!!❤
Kylie, I don't have children of my own but listening to your story got me emotional. Congratulations to you and your husband on your new bundle of joy 💕
Oh, dearest Kylie. I can't even put into words how happy and relieved I am for you and Guido. Praise God for your healthy baby. What a horrible two weeks you had, and here you are talking about it while whipping eggs. I want to just hug you.❤❤❤ On another note, I just love the old , refurbished door behind you. What a beautiful kitchen!!! I know what you mean about Australia being so far away. I live in the United States, and my family is back in Germany. Earlier in spring I visited them for 3 months, and after returning I miss them so much. If only we lived closer... Btw, that pavlova looked so delicious ❤
I just want to hug you so tight. My heart aches for the torment you went through that terrible week. I am so grateful the outlook has changed. Bless you sweet lady and your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Oh Kylie, God Bless you darling! You have me crying. I'm glad everything was OK! I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and that may sound awful to say but my chances of recovery are very high, maybe I needed to hear your story. It does put everything else in perspective.
I'm catching up on your videos after traveling for a few weeks, but I wanted to leave a note saying how relieved I am to hear your sweet babe is healthy! I can only imagine how anxious you must have felt awaiting the test results. Wishing you a healthy rest of your pregnancy!
Hi Kylie, in all my time over the years of watching YT I have never ever commented on a channel. Thank you for your beautiful words today. You are a beacon of light to many, your gratitude and patience and love of life shines throughout. Thank you for reminding us all to see through the trials ahead. I’m a New Zealander!!! My husband’s favourite dessert is Pavlova!! You all made me smile when you didn’t like it so much. And you’re right we are SO COLD right now!! Enjoy your summer.
I was wondering if you ever did a house tour? We seen so much of the house through renovations but maybe a house tour one day would be lovely. But of course when you aren’t busy❤
I am crying for you, upset that you were put through such a frightful and anxious experience. Thank God all is well. Happy for you and Guido - wishing you a healthy and joy filled pregnancy and smooth labor!
You have managed to make my eyes and mouth water with this episode. One of the worst feelings is to be waiting to know if your child is going to be OK. We had a similar experience at 20 weeks, where we were told that our daughter had a serious genetic abnormality, and that we needed to do a blood test and an ultrasound at 25 weeks. It felt like the longest, heartbreaking wait. We thankfully were given good news that she was perfectly healthy. I was also feeling all of the emotions as you spoke of your experience. One of the most frustrating things about working with healthcare systems, is that often there isn’t enough discretion, or waiting on sharing potential information until absolutely necessary. This was definitely a situation that could’ve been made much less painful and stressful by simply not sharing the worst potential outcome, and waiting for results to clarify. I am so grateful to hear that everything is well, and that you can have a sigh of relief. This recipe has me wanting to make lemon curd and vanilla gelato. That’s the mouthwatering combination. I’m desiring, in the 100°F we are experiencing here. So happy to hear that you have air conditioning!
Oh Kylie my heart goes out to you all…what a stressful time. Thank you for sharing your story. Relax now and enjoy this beautiful time in your life, take care…ps not the best of weather in Sydney but your pavlova is a ray of sunshine on our dull days…
So cute your tribute to the air con. Adorable and yes to summer fruity flavors and creamy & crunchy textures ! Your parents will have to stay much longer each time they come !
Oh Kylie my heart goes out to you and your family having to deal with this emotional turmoil. Sending you my best wishes for your pregnancy and the birth of your baby 👶🏻💝
Best looking pavlova I have ever seen! Yummy 😋 and I don't even like pavlova. We in New Zealand say the Australians stole it from us, as some believe pavlova stemmed from here. Well done, that lemon curd had my mouth watering ❤
Kylie❤️💕❤️💕thank you for sharing…my daughter went through this test and the waiting….oh my…fortunately for her,everything was fine. I have a grandson arriving in August
Dear Kylie and Guido, I am so happy that your test results were good news! Feeling your anxiety and want to hug you! Too much stress when you don’t need it. The pavlova looks magnificent, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!! Wishing your parents a safe journey back to Australia. Take good care and sending love to you all ❤❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry that you had to go through that, how absolutely awful. I was relieved that the tests came back so good. Things like that surely make you know how incredibly blessed you are. I hope you will get to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy knowing that all is well and you will soon get to meet your sweet baby.
I'm SO glad your baby is healthy! I completely understand your emotions on this subject, and send you a big hug. Time for relaxing and enjoying the rest of your pregnancy! Bless you.
Hi Kylie. When my daughter was born shortly after your son, I had a similar experience as you hemorrhaging and almost died at home and when to the ER. My daughter went the following day when we realized she couldn’t breathe. The doctor told us that he thought not only did she have meningitis but that’s he had Down syndrome and we were flown to another hospital for a week so she could be in the NICU. Needless to say that is the saddest most powerless I have ever felt in my life but God is so good and she recovered 100% and the dr was mistaken about the Down syndrome as well. We are expecting another baby next month and we had a scare with his heart a few weeks ago and I felt the same sick feeling knowing that I can’t take my children’s place no matter how much I may want to carry things for them. Anyway his heart is ok now as well. Love your videos. ❤
So ENJOY watching your videos! Thank you and your family for sharing your "PERFECTLY Imperfect " life with us. Safe travels to your parents. So glad you have cool places now!
Oh dear beautiful heart Kylie my breath stopped while you telling the story. I cannot imagine your's and the family stress! May god continue to bless you and your beautiful family. So happy your baby's health is perfect❤🦋❤
Awe you poor darling, thank goodness you got good news in the end. I shed tears just watching you struggle to tell us, how brave you are Kylie, thank you so much xxxxxxx
Kylie, you have done an amazing job of holding it all together, all the while not knowing the outcome of your tests. I am so happy for both of you that you have good news and that your family were there to support you and celebrate in the joy of new life.
Excuse the frivolous comment... (I'm a big fan of yours, I adore your videos, I believe you're an incredible gifted movie maker, etc) I always thought you reminded me of someone, but just today, don't ask me why, I got it! You remind me of a more beautiful version of Barbara Stanwyck... Has anyone ever told you? Don't get ofended, she was such a talented and gorgeous actress...
Oh Kylie, I was crying with you as I watched your video! So glad to hear that everything was OK with baby! I will pray for you and hope that God keeps his protective arms around you,baby,and family.🙏❤️
Oh Kylie. I too, cried with you. That’s an intense few weeks. And I’m so happy all is well. Melbourne is grey and rainy so to see a pavlova was a lovely ray of ☀️ sunshine. And yes Australia is tooooooo far sometimes! Send you all a massive hug + thank you for being so open and generous with you time, energy and life. It’s always a delight to watch your work ❤❤❤
Hey Kylie I am so thankful that your prayers were answered. I certainly understand everything you went through and your feelings are valid. I too have been through the excruciating experience of hearing that news from my obstetrician. Unfortunately my results came back positive. My son was born with a genetic disorder and only lived two months. I wanted to share this with you because we are stronger than we know. I had two other children and had the same thoughts about my son and daughter having to go through the grief and loss as well. This is all normal to process as a parent. I am sending love and prayers to you and your family and look forward to sharing in the celebration of your new blessing. ❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable and letting us know what a worry you have been thru. My heart goes out to you and we are all so happy and releaved your bub is doing well. And you are back on track with your beautiful growing bump ❤❤
Oh my, goodness Kylie. I had to take a break from watching this video because I choked up crying. You are so couragous and brave for sharing your story and then to finally hear the joyous outcome. Iʻm sending you prayers and aloha for a beautiful, healthy baby.
~ Bravo....It is so wonderful to hear, on how your family is intending to raise, the children!!! I pray you will have a amazing complication free pregnancy to the end, the baby to be healthy and a true blessing for you, Guido and Gianfranco. ~ many blessings from Canada
Thank you for watching! Recipe here: www.kylieflavell.com/index.php/2024/07/10/pavlova-with-lemon-curd-mascarpone/ 😘😘
Dear Kylie, My heart just went out to you so much in the video. This situation happened to me 21 years ago. After a normal first pregnancy with a beautiful baby boy I tried for a few years to get pregnant and nothing, then just before I started fertility treatment I found out I was pregnant and had a beautiful baby girl but shortly after birth she was diagnosed with spina bifida which had been missed during my pregnancy I was distraught and thought I would never come to terms with her diagnosis but I fell pregnant again quite quickly, I had to do lots of genetic testing given her condition and was given the horrific news that my 3rd pregnancy was not going to be viable, myself and my husband had 4 weeks of going back and forwards over how to proceed.

I couldn’t ask for 3 better children. I adore them all! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy, try not to worry and soon you will be holding another little bundle of joy in your arms ❤
What does Gianfranco call your parents and Guido's parents?
Ο Χριστος μας και η Παναγια μας μαζι σας Kylie μου. May Christ and the Theotokos be with you always dearest Kylie and Guido. You bring so much sunshine into our lives. Thank you. All our prayers for all four of you.
Kylie, you made me cry with you. Always keep your Faith, Jesus will take care of you. Bless you new baby, she or he will be perfect! 💝
You have really been through it but thankfully with happy news I think it makes you a little stronger ❤love your videos one of my favourite deserts never apologise for showing your emotions that's what makes us humans
We take healthy babies for granted, and we should fall to our knees and thank God for every healthy delivery....so glad your results were excellent....now go forward with peace of mind....hugs
Yes, we do take healthy babies for granted. But there are millions of Down Syndrome babies who are beyond loved, wanted and living beautiful lives. Please don’t reduce a special needs baby to someone who is less than. I’ve read most all of the comments here and am saddened by many of them.

I still frown on the fact that the parents are unnecessarily subjected to that whole array of emotions ( and thus hormones ).

please protect your peace 🤍🌤🌞
I have an almost 4yrs old little girl. We only started watching tv with her when she turned 3. Not really cartoons but classical orchestral concerts, children choir music, wildlife or natural shows so she can learn something new. I cannot recommend it enough. She is the most independent and creative player. We rotate her toys so she plays with everything but she doesn’t need much because she makes up her own roll plays. She prefers books over a cartoon. She started to memorize all her books at age 20 months, reading to her instead of putting her in-front of the tv gave her such a rich vocabulary. I know it’s a lot of work but now I see all the results. 🥰 I am also a little old fashioned haha in this crazy fast world.
Mum made pavlova once but it was like rocks and we allways joked about it years after! Nardi was very good at scones you may recall and being a great hostess. Glad the baby is healthy and its good to realise the truly important things and forget the rest. I fractured my spine in July and have had such incredible support from people i never knew before but now i see them as my Sally team and so grateful to them all❤
Best wishes for a beautiful peaceful birth 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
You are a wonderful and blessed human being! God Bless you! 🙏😇❤️
Hi Kylie, 25 years ago I had the same testing experience you did. The doctors thought I may be having a down syndrome child. I went through the same process and found out that I was having a healthy baby. I totally understand what you just went through and the relief is palpable! Congratulations on your great news!!❤ Great news on the air conditioning which completely changes life and a pool to enjoy on a hot summer day! You are blessed!! Keep up the good work!!❤
❤❤❤❤❤Absolutely. Congratulations
My cousin's were told to abort their baby but they refused, and just prayed and he came out perfect!
My cousin has a child with Downs & she is the sweetest, most kind & lovely child. Every child is a gift.
Amen!! @@loloholmes2793
Another great video and thank you for sharing your story so much stress. I had a premature baby and we almost lost her but the great hospital in Toronto saved her and she is now perfect 19 year old.

Absolutely God knows. And in this forum, there are many people who understand the power of prayer. Miracles happen due to that.
Kylie, I am crying watching you speak about your pregnancy 😢. We all will be praying for you that your baby will be just as healthy as GianFranco! What a horrible experience hearing there could be a problem. We are all with you and are happy that you got good news!! 👍✅🙏😘❤️

Totally agree. Horrible people. Don’t do things like that to pregnant mothers unless you know!
That’s the medical people for you; they often scare people before they’ve any definitive evidence on which to base their hypothesis. Often wild guesses.
Thank you for sharing your story, I am grateful too that your baby is ok. I am glad that you are grateful and it is good to recognize the many blessings we have…… my youngest daughter was born with spins bifida, has had over thirty surgeries and then the unbelievable news that she has terminal cancer after all her suffering has come to us in the last 9 months. She is the kindest, sweetest person with very little complaining despite her pain…much more to say but I guess most of us don’t realize our blessings until they are taken away. I will say that God has given us strength through it all.
Omg why would those stupid Dr's presume all that misinformation so early on😮. When all they had to say was to suggest further tests due to your age, which you would accept. Sending hugs to you hunny. So glad all is well. Thank you for sharing your life. Love to all. ❤ Rosie O x 🏴
So happy for your good news ❤️🙏but please, consider what you went through the first time and find a new doctor and facility. I would question why they gave you this news and you had to suffer for a week!
Dearest Kylie, so thrilled everything is fine with your baby. Pregnancy and infancy can be full of ups and downs...so often doctors give us the wrong prognosis. I was told my newborn daughter would probably have cystic fibrosis for some obscure reasons that I can now not remember - 24 yrs ago! Happy to say she was perfectly healthy, beautiful and fine. Stay positive, strong and happy! ❤
Yes. My Daughter in law too was told there was something wrong with her baby. We were all worried. Her baby girl was small, but fine! She’s a petite little smart little beauty!
Dearest Kylie (hugs) I was so happy that all turned out well for your situation. It was so precious of you to share your life experience with all of us. May it bring encouragement to others, who may be facing something similar. You are so, a part of our lives and we celebrate with you for the good report 🎉 But, most importantly, we ( love ) you and your family. Take good care of you....looking forward to seeing your beautiful life in Tuscany. ❤️
Kylie, my heart leaped out to you. I got pregnant after having heavy chemo for a rare ovarian cancer so it was recommended to me to have the amniocentesis test (I imagine that it what you had). Results, probably spinal bifida. My now healthy 26 yr. Old has a tiny buckle -like a dimple - at her tail bone - evidence of a close call. Her spinal column DID close, just. Your horror and fear, I can completely empathize with. Your story is an example of "you never know what people are going through." Love your very healing kitchen. Sending you love and strength. ❤
Wow, I have the same thing! When I was little my brother and I didn't understand why he didn't have a "back button", eventually my mom explained it as " you were almost in a wheelchair " and that was that. It wasn't until I had a c-section at 21 that I found out it was spina bifida occulta. I'm 56 now and it's never given me a minute of trouble, no back pain or anything but I do wonder what would have happened if my mom had all the tests etc they do today.
Oh my goodness what an unbelievably traumatic, life-changing experience -10 full days of waiting when they told you it was high risk, I honestly couldn’t believe my ears Kylie. I hope you can feel all the affection of your viewers - like we are sending you one enormous group hug. Thank heavens the result was ok in the end. How you had the strength in the last episode to get through it all is incredible. Bless you and Guido, you’re both amazing❤💜🧡
Thank God for a very good outcome! Thank you for sharing these difficult moments, it allows us to know that we can survive difficult times and find joy and gratitude in everything❤️
Oh Kylie
I just want give a massive hug… you are all going to be ok… I always felt that in my heart.
God never gives you anything that you can’t handle. He loves you😘🤗💕🤗
Kylie, im so honored to have recieved your true self and feelings from your personal struggle with your newest baby! Thank u for being so real and authentic, and vulnerable! May God bless your sweet family and life! Praying nothing but goodness, love and joy to you and yours!🎉❤🎉❤
You really are lucky Kylie to get good news after your stressful week of waiting. I’m so happy for your joyful outcome. Being filled with Gratitude will carry you through your life. My sister had a condition like you were dreading, which her short life had a life long effect on my parents.. but also filled them with so much love and gratitude for my siblings & me. It’s a wonderful feeling to be loved so unconditionally like that; your children are truly blessed. Your child rearing reminds me of Montessori practices. Pavlova is a family favourite, so loved this!
My eyes began to water as you began to share your story. I listened carefully, but stopped once to pray for you. God has truly blessed your family.
The Pavlova looked beautiful and delicious. Thank you for sharing your life with your us. ❤
I'm so overjoyed for you to get that wonderful DNA reassurance you needed! Praise our Lord!
Your Pavlova was spectacular! 🎉
I also heard your katydids singing l loudly in the background! We also have them in the USA & they often start in July, so they've just started out here! Along with crickets, they are my most beloved summer sounds!
Beautiful pavlova and I am so happy for you that the baby is okay❤❤❤
Hi Kylie, hope and praying everything is going well for you and baby. Take good care of yourself and know love and prayers are coming your way. God Bless you and whole family.
I’m so grateful your baby is healthy and I applaud you for keeping your son screen free…as an early childhood specialist I know how important it is for the all the reasons you so wonderfully explained.
So glad to hear this good news. A similar thing happened to a friend where she was frightened in the extreme by medical people that conveyed a diagnosis without having all the information. And like you became in a very fragile state. Honestly, in my opinion this is a form of malpractice. That said, it’s all very lovely and you’ve inspired me to make a Pavlova. God bless.
Totally agree. I mean what are they? Sadists or something? Good grief, wait until you know something for sure.
@@jgriffin282 Sadly, having worked in the medical field for many years now retired, there are all too many who seem to take on an air of rapacious sanctimony as to act before any thought of empathy. The joke years ago was that MD stood not for Medical Doctor, but rather medical deity. A state that seems to be even more so prevalent today unfortunately.
kylie I'm so pleased everything is going to be ok with your baby, please don't apologise for getting emotional, it's so good of you to share your very private experience because it will definitely help someone else who is maybe going through it. x❤ and on a seperate note, I dont know why publishers aren't inundating you with offers to make a cookbook or teaming up with your sister who is a nutritionist because there is so much information and cookbooks out there but your recipes and advice about healthy eating are so great and the proof is in the pudding, as they say, 😅 only have to look at you and your sister, how good and healthy you both look. X
The first video I watched was you sewing clothes out of curtains/tablecloths during Covid lockdown. Wild to see 4yrs later, second bub on the way!
Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Watching you grow and share your experiences and thoughts is like watching a sister I’ve never met. Thank you for just being you. ❤❤❤
I am so glad you told us because that kind of pain needs to be shared by your friends around the world. We are also so happy for the final results. Such emotional lows and highs.
this video was amazing kylie. the contrast between the baking session and u telling ur experience at the doctor was so relatable. im often talking about the most serious stuff while just making a coffee or something. so glad that babygirl is okay!!!
I'm late to the game here but right now I just want to reach through the screen and give you a really really really big tight squeezy bear hug! I got emotional when you got emotional and I could not fathom what you went through. We will be with you through this all the way.
As for the pavlova, my arms were getting tired watching you whisk. I tried hand whisking egg whites into stiff peaks but my arms got so tired. This looks like something I can put fresh sliced mango on. But I would have to use a stand mixer to do the meringue.
Lastly, kudos to you for keeping Gianfranco screen-free of all devices. It's a shame when I go to a restaurant and see kids pull their phones out and there's no real talking around the table. In my day, I would play with my friends until dusk and loved the friendships built that way. No social media to get in the way. Good for you and Guido for being great parents.
Kylie, A copper bowl can really help with the egg whites. You can get them with a round bottom which helps a bit more. Great video. Im so happy for you that your news turned out OK.
Oh, Kylie. What a terrifying time you’ve gone through. Im so happy the baby is perfectly fine.
Thank you for sharing such an intimate experience. It reminded me to be grateful. I know that gratitude actually makes me happy, but at the end I am only a human and I keep forgetting about it. I just want to say that I cried with you and I feel relieved that it is all good. You are a beautiful soul. I love your videos and I wish you will never have to go through such difficult moments again. I love values that you represent, your taste, you professionalism. I wish you and all your beautiful family all the best.
Oh I so wanted to hug you sweet Kylie, when you started to cry. You getting emotional got me emotional too 🥹❤️ And happy to hear all is well with your baby 🙏
Crying along side you because babies health is something I prayed for everyday even after birth- 2 years old this month ❤ We are wonderfully made. So happy for your relief
So happy for you with my whole heart that your baby is healthy! Gratitude is so important for a happy life!
Here's a virtual hug filled with love and good tidings! As a mother, I cried with you. I prayed for your family and the baby, who will be healthy. I'm so happy you get to raise your children in such a beautiful place.
Oh Kylie, to see you so honest, it's making me cry with you! To know that you and Guido had that kind of news, so good you have each other. I am so happy God blessed you with good news 🙏 God is good, I am glad your parents were with you thru this and so happy you have Guido as well. I bet extra hugs and smooches were bestowed on your precious Gianfranco.
Kylie, thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your heart. We are all celebrating with you for your healthy baby and will continue to pray for your pregnancy. Your family is beautiful, and you are all so loved! Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us! I love that you are raising Gian-Franco screen free in his early years. What a gift to give him. You are an inspiration! Your light shines through in all you do. ❤
Non avere paura Kylie, la tua bambina sarà veramente in salute e bellissima come te. Il suo angelo custode la proteggerà e l’ affiderà all’amore del buon Dio.🙏❤️
God bless you guys and your family. I’ve gone through similar and my baby is a healthy 26 year old today. I can relate to you so much because we’ve lived through renovations too. These challenges do cause you to have gratitude for every little thing and I love seeing you display that gratitude.
You are so blessed, my niece had a daughter that only lived a few hours that happened to her. She also has a Downs Syndrome baby girl, but some how she and her husband and all of us handle it so well, only thru the grace of God you can get thru all these things in our lives. I’m so glad everything turned out for y’all. ❤
Kylie, this is the most vulnerable I have ever seen you. I'm sitting here crying with you. You have had such challenges with your pregnancies. Im so relieved for you that your baby is healthy. I couldn't imagine the alternative. You are truly amazing to me! Such a beautiful woman you are❤. A beautiful future ahead.
I’m so moved to tears by your story. I am so elated that you received joyous news after all!!
I am an old woman now (67) with grown children but they were adopted after 2 miscarriages. And I adore them but the pregnancy losses were difficult. We as women are asked to endure so much. The drive to nurture those we love is paramount! You ( and Guido ) are truly blessed!!! Congratulations!!!!!!❤
Kylie, I don't have children of my own but listening to your story got me emotional. Congratulations to you and your husband on your new bundle of joy 💕
Oh, dearest Kylie. I can't even put into words how happy and relieved I am for you and Guido. Praise God for your healthy baby. What a horrible two weeks you had, and here you are talking about it while whipping eggs. I want to just hug you.❤❤❤
On another note, I just love the old , refurbished door behind you. What a beautiful kitchen!!!
I know what you mean about Australia being so far away. I live in the United States, and my family is back in Germany. Earlier in spring I visited them for 3 months, and after returning I miss them so much. If only we lived closer...
Btw, that pavlova looked so delicious ❤
I just want to hug you so tight. My heart aches for the torment you went through that terrible week. I am so grateful the outlook has changed. Bless you sweet lady and your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Oh Kylie, God Bless you darling! You have me crying. I'm glad everything was OK! I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and that may sound awful to say but my chances of recovery are very high, maybe I needed to hear your story. It does put everything else in perspective.
I'm catching up on your videos after traveling for a few weeks, but I wanted to leave a note saying how relieved I am to hear your sweet babe is healthy! I can only imagine how anxious you must have felt awaiting the test results. Wishing you a healthy rest of your pregnancy!
Every crisis, every ordeal, brings strength. I am so happy you had a joyous outcome.💕
Hi Kylie, in all my time over the years of watching YT I have never ever commented on a channel. Thank you for your beautiful words today. You are a beacon of light to many, your gratitude and patience and love of life shines throughout. Thank you for reminding us all to see through the trials ahead. I’m a New Zealander!!! My husband’s favourite dessert is Pavlova!! You all made me smile when you didn’t like it so much. And you’re right we are SO COLD right now!! Enjoy your summer.
I was wondering if you ever did a house tour? We seen so much of the house through renovations but maybe a house tour one day would be lovely. But of course when you aren’t busy❤
I am crying for you, upset that you were put through such a frightful and anxious experience. Thank God all is well. Happy for you and Guido - wishing you a healthy and joy filled pregnancy and smooth labor!
You have managed to make my eyes and mouth water with this episode. One of the worst feelings is to be waiting to know if your child is going to be OK. We had a similar experience at 20 weeks, where we were told that our daughter had a serious genetic abnormality, and that we needed to do a blood test and an ultrasound at 25 weeks. It felt like the longest, heartbreaking wait. We thankfully were given good news that she was perfectly healthy. I was also feeling all of the emotions as you spoke of your experience. One of the most frustrating things about working with healthcare systems, is that often there isn’t enough discretion, or waiting on sharing potential information until absolutely necessary. This was definitely a situation that could’ve been made much less painful and stressful by simply not sharing the worst potential outcome, and waiting for results to clarify. I am so grateful to hear that everything is well, and that you can have a sigh of relief.
This recipe has me wanting to make lemon curd and vanilla gelato. That’s the mouthwatering combination. I’m desiring, in the 100°F we are experiencing here. So happy to hear that you have air conditioning!
Sending many blessings Kylie…life can be so very hard and yet so very beautiful. So happy that everything worked out well. 🌷🌸💕
Oh Kylie my heart goes out to you all…what a stressful time. Thank you for sharing your story. Relax now and enjoy this beautiful time in your life, take care…ps not the best of weather in Sydney but your pavlova is a ray of sunshine on our dull days…
You are so wonderful; you deserve all the best. So happy for you !
Appreciate you sharing your candid ordeals . You’re extremely inspiring. Continued blessings to you and your family 💛
So cute your tribute to the air con. Adorable and yes to summer fruity flavors and creamy & crunchy
textures ! Your parents will have to stay much longer each time they come !
Oh Kylie my heart goes out to you and your family having to deal with this emotional turmoil. Sending you my best wishes for your pregnancy and the birth of your baby 👶🏻💝
God bless you Kylie! Your heart is so beautiful, which is why I am such a fan of you! Sending big hugs from Texas 🤗❤️
So happy to hear you’re having a healthy baby. Congratulations!
Best looking pavlova I have ever seen! Yummy 😋 and I don't even like pavlova. We in New Zealand say the Australians stole it from us, as some believe pavlova stemmed from here. Well done, that lemon curd had my mouth watering ❤
Kylie❤️💕❤️💕thank you for sharing…my daughter went through this test and the waiting….oh my…fortunately for her,everything was fine. I have a grandson arriving in August
Cara Kylie, che bella notizia. Felice per voi. ❤
Thank you for sharing ❤
Wow what a Beautiful dessert !! You make everything seem so simple with your effortless style!! May God bless your baby ❤️❤️❤️
I love Pavlova, my grandmother made the most delicious Pavlovas. A lot of work but well worth it. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇦🇺
Dear Kylie and Guido, I am so happy that your test results were good news! Feeling your anxiety and want to hug you! Too much stress when you don’t need it.
The pavlova looks magnificent, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!!
Wishing your parents a safe journey back to Australia. Take good care and sending love to you all ❤❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry that you had to go through that, how absolutely awful. I was relieved that the tests came back so good. Things like that surely make you know how incredibly blessed you are. I hope you will get to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy knowing that all is well and you will soon get to meet your sweet baby.
Yes beautiful Kylie. Having babies is HUGE and how brave you are. THANK YOU.
I'm SO glad your baby is healthy! I completely understand your emotions on this subject, and send you a big hug. Time for relaxing and enjoying the rest of your pregnancy! Bless you.
Hi Kylie. When my daughter was born shortly after your son, I had a similar experience as you hemorrhaging and almost died at home and when to the ER. My daughter went the following day when we realized she couldn’t breathe. The doctor told us that he thought not only did she have meningitis but that’s he had Down syndrome and we were flown to another hospital for a week so she could be in the NICU. Needless to say that is the saddest most powerless I have ever felt in my life but God is so good and she recovered 100% and the dr was mistaken about the Down syndrome as well. We are expecting another baby next month and we had a scare with his heart a few weeks ago and I felt the same sick feeling knowing that I can’t take my children’s place no matter how much I may want to carry things for them. Anyway his heart is ok now as well.
Love your videos. ❤
How beautiful for your son to have this time free of technology ❤
So happy that your baby will be healthy ❤️. God Bless!
So ENJOY watching your videos! Thank you and your family for sharing your "PERFECTLY Imperfect " life with us. Safe travels to your parents.
So glad you have cool places now!
Oh dear beautiful heart Kylie my breath stopped while you telling the story. I cannot imagine your's and the family stress! May god continue to bless you and your beautiful family. So happy your baby's health is perfect❤🦋❤
We love you, Kylie, Guido, and family. I'm so very happy for the good news and am crying along with you.
Awe you poor darling, thank goodness you got good news in the end. I shed tears just watching you struggle to tell us, how brave you are Kylie, thank you so much xxxxxxx
Very nice flower arrangement there on your kitchen table 2:09
So sorry you had to go through that for no reason, and so happy for you that you’re having a healthy baby!💕
Kylie, you have done an amazing job of holding it all together, all the while not knowing the outcome of your tests. I am so happy for both of you that you have good news and that your family were there to support you and celebrate in the joy of new life.
God Bless You. Prayers for you and your family. Praise God. And I am thankful I found your channel ❤
Excuse the frivolous comment... (I'm a big fan of yours, I adore your videos, I believe you're an incredible gifted movie maker, etc) I always thought you reminded me of someone, but just today, don't ask me why, I got it! You remind me of a more beautiful version of Barbara Stanwyck... Has anyone ever told you? Don't get ofended, she was such a talented and gorgeous actress...
Oh Kylie, I was crying with you as I watched your video! So glad to hear that everything was OK with baby! I will pray for you and hope that God keeps his protective arms around you,baby,and family.🙏❤️
Oh my goodness. So happy and know your new baby will be happy and healthy and you are going to be the best mom ever.
Listen and my heart is pounding.
I am glad it's good news at last.
So happy that your little baby is healthy! ….The Pavlova looked delicious! Have a wonderful summer with Gianfranco and Guido. 🙏♥️🌿
You are an inspiration to someone much older than you.....many blessings to you and baby.
So happy for you and your baby🌸
Oh Kylie. I too, cried with you. That’s an intense few weeks. And I’m so happy all is well.
Melbourne is grey and rainy so to see a pavlova was a lovely ray of ☀️ sunshine. And yes Australia is tooooooo far sometimes!
Send you all a massive hug + thank you for being so open and generous with you time, energy and life. It’s always a delight to watch your work ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your news. Sending love and encouragement from 🇨🇦
Hey Kylie I am so thankful that your prayers were answered. I certainly understand everything you went through and your feelings are valid. I too have been through the excruciating experience of hearing that news from my obstetrician. Unfortunately my results came back positive. My son was born with a genetic disorder and only lived two months. I wanted to share this with you because we are stronger than we know. I had two other children and had the same thoughts about my son and daughter having to go through the grief and loss as well. This is all normal to process as a parent. I am sending love and prayers to you and your family and look forward to sharing in the celebration of your new blessing. ❤
That is wonderful news! The doctors are not always right, prayers for you and your family!
Thank you for being so vulnerable and letting us know what a worry you have been thru. My heart goes out to you and we are all so happy and releaved your bub is doing well. And you are back on track with your beautiful growing bump ❤❤
Oh my, goodness Kylie. I had to take a break from watching this video because I choked up crying. You are so couragous and brave for sharing your story and then to finally hear the joyous outcome. Iʻm sending you prayers and aloha for a beautiful, healthy baby.
Best wishes to you and your family Kylie, everything will be ok. Thank you for sharing this recipe also, looks so pretty ☺️💐
~ Bravo....It is so wonderful to hear, on how your family is intending to raise, the children!!! I pray you will have a amazing complication free pregnancy to the end, the baby to be healthy and a true blessing for you, Guido and Gianfranco. ~ many blessings from Canada
