    Honestly love how comfortable you are with talking about sex, including pregnancy sex, just goes to show how mature you are and such a good role model by not shying away from the subject and talking about it so respectfully,, so much love to you!! I hope you guys get the house of your dreams soon , I just know it'll be something special that your little boy will always talk about when he's older ☺️ 💜

      Especially as a Christian! Christians are told for so long “don’t have sex” “sex is bad” blah blah blah and I think a lot of Christians or anyone who waits until marriage gets a skewed view of sex. And then it’s even more difficult to talk about.

  • @BiancaEspinel

    I always hated when I heard “don’t get stressed, it’s bad for the baby!” When in reality, every woman has stress and worries during pregnancy. Just allow those thoughts to pass through you! It’s holding onto them that allows the negativity to fester. Just think, one year from now you’ll be in the home of your dreams cuddling your sweet baby. 🥰

      That’s because some of us are very private when it comes to sex. It’s between us and our boo. It’s sacred, intimate, and the one thing (other than kissing mouth to mouth of course) that you get to do with them and ONLY them.

    When you begin to feel a Charlie horse coming on, immediately FLEX your foot up. Act like you’re pointing all the way up at the sky with your toes and hold it tight. It will tighten your muscles and it won’t let that sharp pain come into your leg.... My mom taught me this. It works every time

    I got Charlie Horses a lot growing up, and I found a trick that really worked for me to get rid of them faster. You will usually have to urge to either pointe or flex your foot to try and get rid of it. Go against the urge. So if you feel as though flexing will relieve it, try to pointe your foot instead. If you feel like you have to pointe it, then flex. It will not feel good for a moment doing that, but then the pain should pretty much disappear once you do that action! (at least it always would for me) I hope this helps!! You are glowing and are already such an amazing mama to your sweet boy!

    KRISTIN!!!! THE CHARLY HORSES WERE CHRONIC FOR ME AND I GOT THEM ALMOST EVERY NIGHT! Let me save you! I used to take a tums before bed and drink half a bottle of water. No joke this would make them not come at all! Don't know why it worked but I swear it NEVER failed. I had the same experience, I'd scream in pain and be sore for hours so please try this and tell me if it works for you too!

    • @sydneyborg177

      Hi! I have a degree in kinesiology and health science! Antacids (like tums) are high in calcium carbonate and calcium carbonate is needed by muscles in order for them to contract properly. Therefore, taking tums could help prevent muscle twinges/cramps! Hydration also helps as well! You should try this if you want, Kristin :)

      @@sydneyborg177 I had this experience in my first pregnancy just as Kristin described down to the detail. I am currently pregnant with my 2nd and entering my 2nd trimester; I am 100% going to try this advice if they come around again! THANK YOU!!

    I’m enjoying being on this journey with you! I’m 29 weeks 2 days with a baby boy. I’m also a first time Mum and just moved from LA to the country. So many emotions I can relate to! Fear,anxiety,stress,excitement! This last year or so has been a wild ride to say the least!!😆😊

    I recently had a baby boy (11 weeks ago) and the best piece of advice I would give to any mom to be going into labor is to relax. Relaxing is hard but I read somewhere that fear slows everything down and it is so true. God will be with you in that room and whatever happens, happens. Just take huge, deep breaths and mentally prepare yourself when you feel a contraction. It’s easier said than done but it’s true. I remember tensing up so much with the first contractions and I relaxed my body and let the contractions course through me and I ended up dilating from a 1 to a 10 in like 2 hours and pushed for 5 minutes (this is my first baby). Good luck girl, you will get through it!!

    As someone who had an unmedicated birth, YOU CAN DO THIS. your body is capable, you just have to trust yourself and trust your baby. You got this Kristin🤍

      I also had unmedicated and I completely agree! You can do it!! It’s more of a mental strength than a “pain tolerance” thing in my opinion! I recommend❤️

      Yes all 4 of my births were unmedicated and honestly the fourth I barely felt any pain (not joking!!)

      I would love to have an unmedicated birth🥰 especially without an epidural. I just want to have control over my body. Epidurals scare the hell out of me😱

    It's sooooo crazy to think of the pain you guys were both in this time last year and the immense happiness you guys are in now. And if thats not a testament to how great God is and what he can do for your life, I dont know what is. I am a billion percent certain that he has the best plan for your home situation and that everything will work out better than either of you could dream, but I will keep sending prayers for you guys to have some comfort. Also I know that it's your body and everyone is going to think about their body in their own way no matter what anyone tells them, but I think you gaining a little weight in your face especially is soooo cute on you. When you lost all the weight after the accident I was so worried about you and not being able to eat or being too sad to have any type of appetite. I'm so happy that this season has come for you and that it's allowed so much healing. Also I don't know, I've just always loved people with chubby cheeks and rounder faces, and especially babies like that, which I'm sure yours will be so healthy and beautiful ❤ you are absolutely the sweetest person, along with lexy, and I hope you guys are always this happy 🥰 love you guys

    Kristin, I love watching your videos! You are so transparent and vulnerable! I pray that the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly and that you get settled into a house before your baby boy comes. God is good and He knows exactly what you need and the perfect timing of when it is coming. May the Peace of Christ be upon you and Marcus and your family ❤️
