Taking baby name suggestions starting now...
David! If it’s a boy!
Biceps ofc!
Optimus Prime or Kevin if it´s a Boy
Brody
Barry for a boy and Barbara for a girl.
The truest advice I have ever heard when it comes to raising children: “The days go slowly but the years go fast.” I blinked and my babies are adults.
This made me tear up. I'm going to go see my mom right now
My kid is 2.5 and it's absolutely terrifying. That first year was painfully slow (we had zero help from the beginning due to COVID) and we were so exhausted. It's so much fun now and going waaay too fast!
Congratulations! My two generic pieces of advice:
1: Don't wait until a gender reveal, open that envelope in your own home where you can be emotional and feel everything
2: Everyone says "wait till they start crawling" or "just wait till they won't stop talking" and all this kind of stuff. Don't let that get to you, every stage of infancy was better than the one before it, and being a parent can be a lot more fun than other people make it out to be.
2.5 Infancy goes quick, soak it up.
3. Dont do a gender reveal...gender isnt that important
First of al congrats. Yes, do not do a gender reveal. Made up commercial trash. Not knowing the gender until birth.
I also don't like gender reveals at all I hav a little girl and I found the first month the hardest or u would say the first year but now its sooo sweet 😋
Totally agree! ❤️ And no, pregnancy don't need to be the best season of your life. Everyone experience it differently
This message is for Nat. I have had two pregnancies in my life, under very different circumstances. The first was unplanned, in the midst of leaving an abusive marriage, and when I was very young. I hated every minute of it, but when my son was born, I was hit with a never-before-felt wave of love for this child that was fierce and amazing, and erased every bit of the pain of the pregnancy, labor, and delivery. I remember them as a fact, but I cannot recall how they actually felt.
With my youngest, the situation was much different. He was planned and brought into a loving, stable marriage. In that pregnancy, I grew to love him and know him while he was still growing in my belly. He would get so excited when he heard his father’s voice, that he would dance and reach for the hand placed on my belly. He loved our nightly chocolate milk, and he held a dance-party every night at 3am.😂
I am not going to tell you that pregnancy is a beautiful, Earth-Mother, experience. I will tell you that there is joy and happiness to be found amidst the discomfort, and that the discomfort will fade, but the joys will last forever. Yes, this will be the hardest thing you have ever done. It will also be the most fun, most rewarding, most joyful experience you will ever have. I hope you can focus on the joy and the fun, and thoroughly enjoy these next few months and the years of joy to follow!
Well said! Helped me get a glimpse
Well said and spot on! My son is 6 months now and I agree!
So happy for the both of you!!
Me tooooo❤
Loved the video! Btw I make videos to help this upcoming generation learn and develop fundamental and life changing wisdom! Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance
IM just saying she doing something a lot of women are missing out on
I love how candid and honest Natalie is. I love her. I so appreciate that you both made such an honest video about how you're feeling, I haven't seen many if any conversations like this, and I just know there are people out there who feel the exact same as you and need to know that they aren't alone. Thank you both for being you!
Congratulations guys ❤ our little man is 11 months and we got told you will be “never so tired, never so HAPPY” by a waiter at a restaurant and I have to say that is the PERFECT way to sum it up
agreeed!
Aw congratulations you guys!! 🥹💕
Loved the video! Btw I make videos to help this upcoming generation learn and develop fundamental and life changing wisdom! Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance
U
❤️ U
See her channel 🤩
Awwww.... ❤️
Natalie's words hit hard because even though I'm not pregnant and have never been, my thoughts about pregnancy are exactly the same to hers. I am so grateful to you Nat for being so vulnerable and sharing how you feel. I finally see that I am not alone in my thoughts and feelings. I'm sending you a huge hug and I really believe in you!
❤ This! Thank you, Natalie! Congrats to the both of you!
Right? Just how I felt!
I feel the same except I have had children and went through fear of giving birth and postpartum depression, and feeling isolated as a then stay at home mom. But I appreciate Nat’s openness and honesty because you don’t hear that a lot. I remember at one point every one being like congratulations congratulations and I remember at the time not feeling it at all, and not wanting to hear that at all(after the 3rd pregnancy) Now my kids are all teenagers and I have no regrets. But I truly have so much respect for people who decide not to have kids at all. I personally don’t understand that because I always wanted to have kids but I respect it and I don’t believe in trying to convince those who say they don’t want kids otherwise. Having a child or children is a lot of work but it’s so worth yet definitely NOT for everyone. The best advice I could give Nat is accept and ask for help from those you trust!
I felt the fear even though I’m not and haven’t experienced this before. I’m just so relate to the uncomfortable feelings and so understand sometimes the negative thoughts can stay around there for a while.
Same 🤍
I broke my “no social media before 12pm” rule to watch this video and I HAVE NO REGRETS! 😁
I was grinning through the entire thing like a fool and I love everything here and sending you both, oh wait, you three (!) all the best wishes and love!
Love how natural and truthful and sincere Nat was and also really loved how Matt was following her around the house with his camera 😄😁🤗❤️
Congratulations!
As a parent I would like to share some advise!
- No parent knows what they are doing, we are all improvising.
- All kids are different, that is why there is no guide book for parenting, is just impossible.
- Don't blame the other, both are tired, both of you will feel lost and scared, supporting each other is the best mindset to have during that first year.
- is good to hear advise from others, but at the end you are the parents, you know what is best for the kid.
- They grow really fast, so enjoy every phase.
- And.... a fever is 37.5 C, not 36.5, not 37.... 37.5 C
That is some great advice!
There's no guide books for parenting???
In Germany, a fever is 38.5 lol
I never wanted to be a minimalist more than when my kids were a few years old. We had “ stuff” , I was overwhelmed. Limiting the “stuff” and focusing on other things was the key. They never missed what they didn’t have. We played, we laughed, we adventured. Now as adults, they do not focus on physical things to fill their lives. I think you will find that less stuff brings you peace so you can put your effort in other areas. Many blessings to you both.
Thank you Nat for being so open and honest. We need more people like you in this world. 💗
You literally don’t understand that I GASPED and got SO HAPPY just at the thumbnail!! I’ve been following for about 4 years now and you’ve helped me so so much - I’m extremely happy and excited for you both, thank you for everything ❤
Hey Nat, congratulations! I've been a mum for 3 months now and all the fears and worries you mentioned in the video are true. Yes, pregnancy is hard, your body changes a lot and labour is very painful. But it really is worth it. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Your baby will bring you joy and laughter. You will realize your capacity for love is greater than you ever imagined. You will realize you are so much stronger (mentally and physically) than you thought. You will gain a new respect for your body. Your life will be turned upside down in the most beautiful way. The best is yet to come pet. Keep smiling and focusing on the positive.
Wow! Thank you, Natalie, for really being honest with the world about how you’re feeling. My husband and I recently got married, and he feels the way Matt does and I feel the way you do lol. We both appreciate you sharing your experience! If it aligns with your path, it will be really valuable to see videos where you guys talk about how you’re intertwining minimalism into parenthood. I’ve imagined teaching this to a child but I’ve never seen videos on it. Good luck guys and please know you have so much support and love on this journey! ❤
Check out the minimal mom. By the way this is absolutely normal for women to feel the way Nat does; they are taking the much bigger risk in this for the rest of their lives.
something tells me because the dads aren't the ones going through all the physical changes and discomfort and pain and labor and have to give birth
Can't wait for Matt to be doing 30 day challenges with the baby in 9 months time 😂
Donc ;-)
Congratulations! It's so amazing for you both ❤️
I'm a newish mama, and my advice would be;
Buy what you want, and don't worry about what you think you need or what someone else says you need.
Buy onesies with ZIPS! The person who invented poppers hates parents!
Don't overthink how you think you should feel. It took me about 4 months to get that overwhelming falling in love feeling that mothers get and I felt awful about it. But actually, more people get that than I thought.
Matt, do ANYTHING that Nat asks. No matter how unreasonable. Pregnancy is hard!
You guys are going to ace this!
Yes zippers!!
Agreed on zippers! I got the same as you for both my babies: it took me a while to love them in that overpowering way. I thought the second time might be different but it wasn't. For someone who overthink everything like me, it's pretty logical.
@@abigaelmacritchie1365 thank you for being so honest about it. I cried when I started to feel the love because I felt so guilty that I hadn't until then x
@@thehomemakersblog23 aww I'm sad for you that no one warned you 😢 I was lucky enough that my cousin's wife told me that's how she felt when she became a mum, long before I even became pregnant. She said "I needed to get to know my daughter" and that resonates so much with me. Love can be at first sight, but it almost always deepens with knowing the person, why wouldn't it be so with our babies?
@@abigaelmacritchie1365 that's lovely that you had that guidance 😊 you do need to take time to get to know the new tiny person 😊 x
I'm a newish mom of an 8 month old, and I'm here to say that it can be SO much fun! The joy she brings and the amount of times she makes us smile and laugh is hard to explain! All the hard stuff is 100% worth it! You've got this!
Thank you, this helps a lot, I'm considering really bad if I want or not to be a mom for all the scary factors. This kind of comments help to let go the fear
In the same situation and feeling the same things!
The first 2 months were hard but since it's been 80% joy
Aaaa
That's a great news, Matt and Nat! I've been following you for a long time ago and I learned a lot in terms of productivity, and I am looking forward on how you develop your own productivity system being a husband and a dad. God will bless both of you!
Congratulations, you two. No one is ever ready for this, but the minute you see your child for the first time, suddenly you are SO ready. You will be amazing.
I love that Natalie opened up about those fears, I’ve been on the fence for so long about having kids because of all those same reasons and to see someone so opening talk about it and put the anxiety into words is so refreshing. Lots of love to you both!
Congrats guys! I'm watching this at the hospital waiting for our doctor to come break my wife's water. Get ready for an adventure!
Congrats guys! Just got this notification from your email! Life will change but it will also open up new possibilities and enable you in other ways. So happy for you guys! 🥰
Becoming a parent IS terrifying, and it is hard but on the flipside of that there is nothing like it in the world. It is such an amazing experience watching your little ones grow! It is one of the most rewarding journeys you can undertake. I have two teen daughters now and they've shown me a new depth of love and I continue to grow as a person right alongside them. Trust that you've got this Nat, you'll be an amazing mommy!💖🙂
Her story telling skills are so good can see why you two are a good pair, I was hooked when she was explaining "IT'S TWO LINES!", maybe the baby will inherit this storytelling gene😂Congratulations & love to your family ❤
I am also pregnant and just made it through the first trimester. I had HG which made it even worse. Hearing Natalie talk about her fears is super comforting as I have been feeling the same way. My brain is always anxious especially since we had a miscarriage earlier this year with our first.
My first pregnancy was a miscarriage as well. When I got pregnant again with our now 18 month old I spend the entire first 10 weeks unwilling to move or do anything for fear of causing another miscarriage. I'm so sorry for your loss.❤
Congrats, guys! I became a dad last year, and every part of this video brought back an incredible wave of emotions and memories. My wife and I spent 11 years living the life we wanted before our daughter entered the picture, so we definitely felt the pull of "leaving your life behind" when our daughter came along. We've kind of taken this approach of fully embracing the new with the understanding that we can always revisit the favorite parts of our former self whenever we want to. It simply requires intentionality and communication. Since you're a master Intentionist™, I have no doubt you'll find the method that brings you the most fulfillment. So stoked for you! You're going to love every second of it.
As someone who started watching this channel single and now has 2 kids, I'm excited to see how you handle your family growing and the transition to parenthood. It's hard but you can do it, best of luck!
Natalie, you are so incredibly in tune with your body to recognize the changes early, you will naturally be ready! You are going to be an amazing mom! Congratulations.
Nat,
I resonate with your words so much. I’ve been crying so much from my own pregnancy symptoms.
You’re absolutely right. Everything changes immediately when you get pregnant. I’ve been so sick with my pregnancy, and it’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
There’s so much that feels negative around childbirth and parenting. You’re right, it’s terrifying. I want to cry listening to your words, because I too, am “spiraling in the negative.”
It’s so refreshing to hear a pregnant person say that they too are terrified and scared of the negative changes. It’s just hard. This is difficult. I don’t have any comforting words, just that I understand and you are not alone. ❤
You got this Mama 💜 your words resonate so much. 7 months postpartum here. It's scary as hell, but that little one is so worth it. Thankfully, you've got a good team thing going on there.
Congratulations, that’s amazing! I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant and I completely understand all the things Natalie’s saying. Especially what she said about not having 9 months to prepare; that’s so true! From the moment that you are pregnant, everything changes already (mentally and fysically). Take it one day at a time, and listen to your body and mind about what is necessary at that moment. Attending a mindfulness birth-class was so helpful for me! :)
I had the best, and I mean the BEST experience being pregnant and giving birth. Be positive in yourself and know that you can do this. Don't listen to the negative stories because they will undoubtedly make your experience negative. Think positively, and you'll rock this pregnancy! 🧡
Getting kids will rock your world but everything is worth it. It will open up a feeling of joy you've never experienced before when interacting with them. I'm a proud dad and love my kids
Nat, thank you so much for your brutally honest and vulnerable words. I am no mum and I am not pregnant, but I feel like your words prepared me more for what 'could still be' than any of the happy-flower-beaming mummy-pictures and stories.
From that Nats confession how Matt's behaviour about challenge is totally matched with me...I like challenges...And I enjoy them to being shorted. I think most of the guys have that kind of behaviour. Never give up.
Congratulations both of you.
Her words make me feel understood. My pregnancies were like hers, I got flooded with changes in my body and mind and mood. It overwhelmed me and stole my energy. It was weird because nine month were too long and too short as well. Too long because I really wanted myself back and too short because I wasn't done figuring everything out. (But the good part is I bounced back one day after giving birth both times.) Anyways ... congrats!
I took about 3 months away from social media, I’m back on the channel and this is the 1st vid to alert me! Wow congratulations Matt & Nat 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! Nothing better than being a parent! You are such a blessing to your baby and they are such a blessing to you! So happy for you.
I’m 15 weeks pregnant today and I completely understand how you feel Nat. I was feeling that way since knowing about my pregnancy. The first trimester was extremely draining for me, it wasn’t enjoyable at all. Remind yourself to listen to your body, rest if you feel like you need to rest. Take a day off if you can. I spent lots of weekends watching pregnancy videos - lots of Aussie mums on RUclips. I feel a lot different now, my pregnancy anxiety is gone and I’m feeling so excited. All the best ❤
Best of luck to you as well!! how exciting 🎉
Congrats everything is gonna be good.
Congratulations to you both and the little human who has already scored two of the worlds best humans as parents!! Honestly the horror stories frustrate me so much.. everyone has something to say and usually those horror stories come hard and fast and exaggerated sometimes. So I’ll take this moment to say I’ve had two terrific births, we somehow find our way as parents and every step is somehow more beautiful than the last - between the poops and learning curves you face becoming parents, you feel a magic you are so blessed to experience by raising a human being!!! I wish you an enjoyable pregnancy and the journey becoming parents to be a magical one. You’ve got this 🙌🏼
Thank you Natalie! Honestly that chat from 8 minutes is exactly how I feel I am currently 6 months pregnant with my first (was very much planned) and its all so terrifying everything I am hearing. Getting overwhelmed from people telling me all the negative. It's so refreshing to hear your honesty. I need that. We got this Natalie!
I definitely feel like new parents think they should feel a certain way. We are totally allowed to feel however we are feeling and I think that is definitely the healthy way to go about it.
Congratulations! I have a five year old but Natalie brought back all of those emotions I had while pregnant. Take care of yourself, let yourself feel whatever you’re feeling without judgement, and remember that you are completely capable of being amazing parents. Also, a word about stuff and kids - there is a lot you don’t need, for sure, but there are also things that you may need only for a super short period of time but they will make something in your life more comfortable/convenient/etc, especially during the first year, so don’t beat yourself up too much if you end up with more “stuff” than you like. That’s the reason it’s so easy to find baby gear used!
This is such great advice!
Agree with this! I just had my 3rd baby last February and Natalie’s words rung true even for my third. But, it gets easier.
Don’t feel like you have to share this journey either. Having children will change your life and sometimes, you may feel you want to keep it private.
It will try your relationship, it will change your lives. Your hearts will grow and you will feel like life is much more worth living.
Once your child turns 1, that is when things start to get easier. Keep strong!!!
I second this! There are some things we used with our daughter for only a month or two, but it made life sooooo much easier during that time, so don't be afraid to get the things you need!
Congrats. Currently expecting our third very soon and the best advice I can give you is to not be too hard on yourselves or compare the growth of your child to others. Kids go their own way and what worked for one doesn’t work for the other. Be present and keep their safety and development at the forefront and you’ll figure it all out.
Don't worry, Nat, you'll go through waves of despair and fear, and moments of uncontainable joy and fun - through pregnancy and raising a baby. As far as I am concerned, that rollercoaster of emotion doesn't go away, you just learn to ride the waves better (and your hormones typically balance around child's age 2 or so, and that helps A TON). Congratulations! So happy for you both.
My partner and I are going through the same thing now man and after watching your videos for years I love to hear Nat's and your sides to the feelings you're having. Much love
Congrats dudes! As a single Dad, it’s really tough yet amazing and totally worth it. Buckle up kids cause it’s a wild ride!
Okay i relate so much to Nat, i always see these moms that are PUMPED and I’m like “why don’t i feel that way?” Or “am i cut out for this?” And her conversation on the challenges made me feel so heard. Love how supportive you are of Nat too. This video encouraged me so much for whenever that season arrives for my husband and i!
You and Natalie are going to make awesome parents. Enjoy the journey and don’t worry about reading those “how to be a parent” books. It’ll come naturally. Congrats guys!
First of all congratulations on this great news! Now you can create a new series of minimalist lifestyles as a first-time parent ;)
Congratulations, Matt and Nat! This is indeed an exciting news. I pray with all my heart that you two (three) will be able to go through all the changes just fine. Surely there will be difficult moments. But I hope joy and laughter can also be found along the way. 🥰
This is such a wonderful video. but i want to highlight one thing that is SO powerful. Nat said "I was judging my self based on how OTHER moms are SO excited for their pregnancy" and that she wasn't "as" excited. This is HUGE. So many women judge them selves on how they "Should" feel about pregnancy, being a mom, etc. but Pregnancy is a HUGE life change and having a child even more so. Matt, I am so excited and i hope as you vlog we get to see a lot of Nat (if she is comfortable) and her process and dealing with pregnancy, the good and the bad. because its so important to normalize the struggle of pregnancy/parenthood. MORE OVER and from me personally as a guy and parent.... Matt, the women in our lives get SO much support during pregnancy, delivery, motherhood, advice is everywhere. But for us men it is VERY different. in the hospital for example you will likely feel like a second class citizen, while the nurses and doctors are taking car of Nat, you will likely be mostly ignored for the most part. and while this is good as Nat will be the one going through the trauma of childbirth. it is SO incredibly important to get any support YOU need, any advice, be involved as much as you can. Seek out dad groups NOW to get the support you may need. There is a complete lack of support for male parents, What to do, how to do it, how to deal with your feelings and emotions, the contestant struggle to NOT sleep and check on your newborn every 5 minutes to make sure they are okay, How to support your wife but also make sure that YOUR feelings and needs are heard and valid, etc. Sorry a bit of a rant I guess. all I'm saying is that IM super excited for you both. and YOU as a guy deserve just as much support and help as Nat will. BE PRESENT FOR EACHOHTER.
Awww... Congratulations to you both 😊 Yes.. your life will change in expected and unexpected ways, but you will be so glad for it. And - as a proud Nanny ( grandmother).. when doubt hits you, remember that no kids means no grandkids... and that would be the biggest regret of all. I wish you all the very best xx
Congratulations to the both of you! I just had my first child 3 weeks ago and man it is a ride. I hope you both have good people around you who are positive, uplifting and are supportive of you guys! (I guess having those people in your life generally makes life wonderful too)
I am so happy for you guys. Having a child is a blessing from God. I wish you all the best brother and pull your socks up, you are going to be a minimalist father 🥳
Congrats you guys! I'm so excited for you! I'm also pregnant and feel exactly the same as Nat. It was like listening to myself. Thank you so much for sharing and thank you everyone in these comments for the positivity and advice!
The fact that you guys are concerned with how to be good parents tells me that you are going to be great parents. Tell Natalie that it's kind of like skydiving. You have to be serious to prepare for the jump, and you have to be serious making sure you land right, but that it's the process/doing that is the thrill. Just like skydiving, you'll land and someone will ask you, "That was so awesome! You're going to do it again, aren't you?" =-D
Congratulations, as long as you guys work together as parents it's going to be so fun!!
Beautiful - scary exciting news!!! Nat - so glad you are letting all your feelings out. Reach for as much support. READ NOTHING - - FOLLOW YOUR GUT!! Girl - You got this!! Keep checking in with yourself. Mat - same to you, keep communicating,, asking for help - MENTAL HEALTH checks (OFTEN). Your life will change, and you will find yourselves grieving your old life, but your new life will break you open - uncovering the parents you strive to be, re-living your childhoods, and experiencing a new adventure with your little person!!! My son is 5 now, and I've learned so much about myself, now in school, and its going so fast! I find myself grieving his baby years. Every year brings challenges (I still don't sleep) but I am excited to see what's next!! EXCITED FOR YOU BOTH❤⭐❤
Congratulations. I don't have kids of my own but I am an Aunt. The little things will make you laugh and smile. Their first try at words. The random things they stuff into places for you to find. How cute they look in every outfit. Their tantrums over random thing. The bizarre questions that you never even considered. There is a lot of difficulty but that is being human. We all have hard things and relationships. But there are beautiful and happy things too. And I love baby stuff! Their toys are so cool. Their outfits are awesome. Tiny shoes!
Congratulations I hope it all goes well for you both ❤❤❤
It’s so refreshing how candid and honest you guys are. Wishing your new lil family the best of luck (I hope we get to see a bit of the journey) 🎉❤
A BABY D’AVELLA 😂😂😂!!!! NO WAY
Watched you since I was a young teen, I’m 25 this year…. What a journey you’ve taken us all on!
This is surreal news! So excited for you 🔥✌🏼 LETS GOOO
I have never felt more invested in my life. I def hit the verge of crying a couple of times thinking about your old videos i used to watch.
You can just feel the excitement from them its adorable
I knew it! Congratulations! 🥳
I’ve been following for 5 years and minimalism has changed my life. Based off of how genuine you guys are, I think you’ll make wonderful parents. Not perfect, just willing to adjust, which is the closest you can get to perfection.
Nat - get as much help as you’d like. New Chinese moms traditionally got pampered. It can be normal if you make it normal 😊
While hurray for baby news, all that caught my attention in this video is just how beautifully lit this house is! The light by the stairs, the baby's room, and the bedroom (I assume) is just nice!
Omg!! Congrats to you two!!! Indeed, you are never prepared for this, but it will be an amazing opportunity to prove yourselves that baby will shape your life and you can make of it whatever you want. You can still be yourselves and do all you enjoy, it will be just in an alternate way. Baby will learn the best of you two. So happy for you guys!!! ❤
Congratulations you two! I’ve seriously never been this happy for two people who I don’t know personally. I absolutely love you two and will be praying for a healthy, happy pregnancy❤️🤗✨🥰Natalie, you’ve got this. You’re gonna be a great Mom!!
Matt, you taught me how to be a minimalist parent!!! I can’t wait to see how you rock this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congrats to you both! It is totally terrifying and overwhelming. I felt the same. It all shifts when the baby is born and you unfortunately can’t anticipate how that feels! It’ll all be okay 😊 you guys are going to be GREAT parents. All because you care so much.
Congratulations! Good job you don’t use an alarm anymore as you’ll never need one now!
Congratulations to you both! baby tip from a father of two, keep a ton of cloth nappies on hand, not to be used as nappies but for everything else.
Dwayne D’Avella has a nice ring to it! ;)
One thing I know from watching you and Nat for a long time is that you are both very intentional about everything - a great characteristic of any awesome parent! It is scary, it is hard, and you two are going to crush it! Looking forward to the updates! Good luck!!
This video is going to be beautiful for your kid in the future! Congratulations!
So happy for you both. I birthed & raised two by myself & the key is taking it all just one day at a time. My only suggestion is start saving for your little ones future now.
You're going to be fine. Trust the process it will come naturally. Congrats!
Congratulations! You are going to have a lot of fun with your child no doubt. The truth is nobody is prepared. Nobody is prepared to the amount of love that is coming in your family!
Nat’s vulnerability was everything. The way you just sat with her so supportively was truly beautiful to witness. ❤
you’re gonna love it my man. life changed so much when my girlfriend, soon to be wife, had our son. he’s now two and it’s a spitting copy of me. i’m truly living the best of times with them. BTW…be ready to not have any energy to do a lot of the things you used to do. but being a minimalist, i’m sure you’ll find a way to simplify it for everyone!!
LOL I just had my baby a few weeks ago. Seems my minimalism went out the window (even with making sure I was stream lining and being critical). I can't wait to see how you take it. Congratulations and take all sleep you two can get! Seriously. My eye lids are non-existent. I love my baby so much!
Gratz to you both! And Nat, yes it is scary and painfull, i had one of the worst pregnacy, but yes it is worth, you will get so much love back. For me i always wanted to be a mom of two and nowi am blessed now with two 🥰
Being scared is part of being pregnant. My advice is taking one stepp at the time, listen to all the advise you get and then choose what works for you and you’re child, cause everybody is different.
Super chuffed for you both!! I’d spotted a box in the house tour video too 😂
Your life WILL change and bits of it will be tough, but man, the joy and positives you’ll get from your new family will blow your mind #quickdraw
I am so happy for both of you, with kids, life will definitely change for the better. Take care of each other to bring the new member into family
Always loved Matt (and Natalie's content). I'm so looking forward to watchimg Matt's slow descent into maximalist hell. We have a five year old daughter who has created the worlds greatest dichotomy by being the best thing thats ever happened to us and also ruined everything at the same time. Blessed.
Congratulations! May she have a safe delivery.
so happy for the both of you. It was super refreshing to hear Natalie's point of view. I have been terrified to have a child because of all of the things she mentioned. It makes me feel less alone, so thank you for that Matt!
Really loved this. Hearing her fears and what she's experiencing emotionally was helpful. So excited for you bothl!!!
I’ve been watching your videos for years and I’m so excited and happy for you. Congrats! ❤️
You are starting with the right mindset. Your life is going to change, you will make sacrifices, but you will still be able to go out, travel... but not in the same way, in a different way, and that's fine
Congrats! I've definitely thought the same as the other viewer, and am looking forward to your content as a parent. Natalie, remember, there will be a moment where you have done it, the thing you are afraid of. And a lot of the things you think and expect right now, can make a 180 once the baby is born, for the better.
