Everyone’s always really quick to tell you “just wait…” for all the negatives but rarely they say the positives so just wait until you hold your baby for the first time, or the first time she smiles, or the first time she calls you mummy! Hope you all have a wonderful festive period💗
@@jamiegenevieve I’d like to add by saying when they say I love you the first time too 🥹 My husband watches our granddaughter while mom and dad are working (he’s retired military and I work on the military base). She’s 3 now but I’ve been looking forward to I love you from day one. When she was 2, I was leaving for work and she had just got to our house. We said our goodbyes and hugs then suddenly she says in a clear and loud angelic voice “WAIT! Love you have a day grandma!” I almost died!!! 😭 My heart. She didn’t say have a GOOD day but it made me even more emotional lol It was the first time she said it crystal clear and said grandma too. It makes me tear up now LOL I’m a nerd but damn it’s so precious. My heart skips a beat every time she has said it since. ❤
Just wanted to say how much I love your updates on your pregnancy, I'm just about 19wks with my first baby and it's a girl too, and it's so comforting to hear your going through many of the same feelings, vibes I'm having. Feel like I'm not alone on the journey 🩷
Someone said to me when I was pregnant that the sleep getting worse throughout you pregnancy, was your baby slowly getting you ready for when they arrive and you are up with them throughout the night. I thought this was a much nicer way of saying it rather than “it’s only going to get worse “ Love your videos and sharing with us your pregnancy journey 💕
I used to absolutely need my sleep or i was a crabby mess. Sleeping in late and going to bed late and just living for myself. The whole sleep training thing was absolutely true for me and slowly got me used to waking up throughout the night and early in the morning. Somehow though, now that my baby is earthside, I really don’t mind waking up with him through the night to feed. Especially when he gives me a sweet little milk drunk smile. It’s become my happy time, small little moments just me and my baby. People say a lot of scary stuff to you when you’re pregnant about what to expect. In my experience it hasn’t been bad at all. I absolutely love being a mom and it gave my life its purpose. I struggled with depression and became medicated for it during my pregnancy and I’ve never been happier in life. My only advice is to savor every little moment of motherhood - the good and the bad, bc to that little babe you are their whole heart and world and it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced in life.
I will never understand these people making such negative comments to expectant mothers, it’s so mean spirited! But if you don’t want kids, those same Karens will also start raging at you for that too cause how dare women not want to be mothers 😅 we can’t win!
Gosh, I dont like those people. I’m not a parent, but a dog parent and the most owners the same! Everyone knows everything better and what is good for your dog or not. It is your pregnancy. Why do people feel the need to „share“ their advises without you asking for it? Or better their so called horror stories. I think you look amazing, you’re glowing from inside out! I know you will always do what’s best for you and the wee girl. AND: the little X B in your description made a little tear rolling over my face. I couldn’t be happier for you, seriously, from the bottom of my heart❤
So exciting darling. I remember being pregnant watching your tutorials that you would film from your small apartment years ago. My son is now turning 15! That’s how long I’ve been a fan and watching and being inspired as you grow your empire. So happy for you and Jack and the pups. Congratulations on everything. ❤❤
People’s opinions and advice are the worst. You’ll sleep. You’ll have time to relax. You’ll be able to be yourself. Don’t listen to everyone. I craved tuna, jalapeños and strawberries…so good.
So many people did the same thing when she was ill in her last year of life. I was so stunned why everyone seemed to love telling her how much she was going to suffer. It was truly shocking and I felt SO PROFOUNDLY heart broken for her. Let’s ALL lift one another up and remind each other of the things we can look forward to and let’s help each other focus on the freedoms we have to choose the things that bring joy and hope into our lives. Hope and joy are essential to peace.
I got a little teary watching this. I am so excited for you and Jack. Y’all are going to be wonderful parents. Such a blessed baby girl. Such exciting things coming your way!
I have to say Christmas's are so so so much better with kids. My 5 yr old daughter cried yesterday morning seeing her big gift. Just so much sweeter with kiddos!
I have a one year old girl, and I have say it’s peak human experience watching your baby grow. For some moms it can be hard, and there’s nothing wrong with asking for help if you feel like you’re mentally struggling after those first few weeks. The sooner you get help, the sooner you’ll feel better! With that said, get ready for the most amazing love of yours and Jack’s life ❤ your capacity to love both your new baby and each other grows to a new level you can’t imagine until you’re there. Congrats! Also, postpartum is it’s own battle but holy crap I was waaaaaay more comfortable postpartum than pregnant! Another thing to look forward to😅
I was 20 weeks pregnant too this time last year and now spending my first Christmas being a mummy to a beautiful little girl 😍🥰 so excited for you to experience the same ✨ have a lovely one 🎄 xxx
Don't listen to any of that! The newborn stage is amazing and everything is worth it. Chin up! I have two kids and I'm dying to have more. It's seriously the best. You don't realize how deep your love can get until you have kids.
So happy to hear of your updates, wishing you a happy and healthy, stress free pregnancy and anyone who says anything negative about the experience is just projecting. Project your positivity and light right back at them 💗💅🏻
Aw the beauty of motherhood. Soo many positives, they outweigh the negatives. The first time they put the baby on your chest and she cries, the way she’ll look at you and put her hand on your face during a feeding or snuggle. The first time she smiles….when she calls you mommy, when she wants only you and your kiss on her boo-boo will do. When she runs to you after you’ve been out and you come home. Her first laugh. I could go on and on. And coming from a mother and grandmother, the unsolicited advice never stops, even after they’re grown and off married with their own babes. Take it all with a grain of salt. ❤❤ p.s I can’t wait to see the two of you cruising the mini together…
I’ve dealt with the “just wait it gets worse” comments with all three pregnancies now. I’ve started with responding to people by saying man I’m so sorry that you had that experience and it was so bad for YOU. But for me I’m loving every minute of it and I know I was always meant to be a mom! I find that by “smacking” them in the face with some positive vibes they either stop or I walk away smiling ☺️ either way! It relieves the stress! Also you’ll be surprised how great of a car Tor mini is going to be as a mom car. It’s something that will give you joy or the hard days, and baby will stay in an infant car seat for a while, it’s not so bad! Especially for you who stays pretty sit, you’ll bounce back pretty easy after labor im sure!
It’s the hardest and most rewarding thing! My son is about 3 and autistic it has been very rough but there’s no love like it. Everyone loves to tell you the dreadful things but never will tell you how it all melts away when you see them or at the end of the day when they’re asleep🥰
Nevermind what you cant do... it's what you can do! Back in the 80/90"s I used to drop my 2 off at nursery at 8am drive to B'ham airport fly to Brussels/Paris wherever, have meetings and be back to pick them up by 5pm. So don't worry about anything! You do you! Nice to follow your journey as we are expecting our first granddaughter in February. Happy Christmas both xxx
JAMIE!! Please try a Mars bar whilst pregnant they taste amazing like on a whole other level it's strange honestly it's like they are made for pregnant people 😂 please let me know what you think if you try one x
People just can’t help themselves from those sort of comments. This is one of the most exciting times of your life. Enjoy every minute of it. Merry Christmas to you both!
Hi Jamie! Yes. Yes I remember when I was pregnant 22 years ago, a lot of people like to be doomsayers. Or maybe they’re being funny or saying it out of love, but I got so much of that. “good luck, get sleep now! Oh, don’t eat that, ooh don’t make the bath hot”… never mind the panic I was put into over being on anxiety meds so I promptly went off of them and thankfully I was emotionally healthy enough to do so but I look back and I wonder if it couldn’t have been worked out not so abruptly? Anyway, in my 50s with an adult son, I can tell you that it’s also wonderful, beautiful, miraculous. I recently transferred some footage from my sons first couple of Christmases and I am watching them over and over, with the biggest smile on my face. You and Jack are going to be wonderful! 🌲🤎🤎🤎
I am 34 weeks pregnant and I TOTALLY agree!!! It’s very annoying and will completely change how I talk to pregnant people in the future. I wish people would stop spinning the negative on everything. Ex: baby is growing well and you’re excited they’re healthy then someone comes along and tells you that you’ll probably tear or just say “ouch!”. Lol
I had my nails taken off for when I went into labour incase I had to have a c-section but had then put back on when baby was 11 days old because I didn’t feel like myself and I’ve had them ever since (she’s 6 now). Just do you and don’t listen to the know it all’s! 😊
Regardinng postpartum hairloss. It doesn't has o do much with the health of the hair, more so hormones. During pregnancy hormones prevent hairloss that would normally shed. After giving birth hormones change and all those hair that meant to shed normally, start shedding and it looks scary. Sending love!
@Jamie Genevieve its been such a pleasure to watch your pregnancy vlogs. I had a really hard time in my first trimester with morning sickness (throwing up 15 times a day). It finally resolved and then one day your little ultrasound popped up in my notifications. As a long time follower it kind of felt like I had a buddy in the journey. I am 21 weeks and so happy to get to follow along the pregnancy and parenting journey with you ❤️
I absolutely HATED the comments when i was pregnant, anyone i spoke to was the same, "just wait till this" "u cant do that anymore" "no social life now.... just wait" i shouted at a woman i worked with that said something along them lines i felt bad after but its so condescending i HATED IT!!!
I think a lot of the 'well you won't be doing that anymore' is often from people who stopped caring for themselves and now feel bitter towards women who just get back to being who they love to be. I had all that but still wear thongs, do my nails every three weeks, wear makeup, nice clothes etc. Because that is just me, pre & post my little miracle. And come baby #2,#3,#4 whatever I will still be doing what makes me feel good because if you feel good you can be a better mama!
Love you so much Jamie! Im sick with Covid in Bed and I missed my family’s big vacation to LA for Christmas to Universal and Disneyland! But your videos bring me so much joy and even sick I bed, you still make me so happy! Thank you for sharing your light, Merry Christmas!!! 🎄❤️💚❤️
Don’t listen to anyone else, people just scare munger. Your pregnancy is unique to you. You will do what is right for you and your baby. I found pregnancy a wonderful time, absolutely loved it. I for one look for to the updates and how you feel and how your doing. We all love your content and look forward to a new video. Keep doing what your doing, your amazing ❤
This is a beautiful time in your life and its your choice to decide what and what not to do. My baby turns 4 on the 29th and its happened in a blink. Dont get stuck on the negative its a beautiful time girl❤️❤️
Don’t worry about what people say, everyone’s different. On the last day of work we went for drinks, the girl on maternity came with her baby, she was breastfeeding in a full jammed Wetherspoons and really enjoyed passing her baby around, she got kicked out by the staff at 9. I just thought, good for her not letting her baby change her life too much ❤
I remember thinking when I was that pregnant “how is my stomach EVER going to stretch any MORE! It’s impossible!” …. And then stretched it did for about 5 more month 😂😂😂😂 hang in there ! Got my 1st Vieve purchase to the US and I can’t stop drooling over it !
It's true that people will only tell you the bad/hard stuff. People will always give you unsolicited opinions because you're pregnant and it's annoying. Every person is different and every baby is different. You won't know how things are until you get there. Having children is wonderful and hard at times, but you will know best for that child. I'm thrilled for you and am glad you're enjoying your pregnancy. I love hearing about it! Also, I ordered my C'est La Vieve jumper and I could not be happier!!
Not me sitting here 13 weeks pregnant with my first, been here since the start of your YT journey and cried when you said you had another mini (that’s also my fav car) the nostalgia was a lot for my pregnant brain 🥴🥴
My daughter is 5 months and I have had my natural long nails the entire time, makes no difference if you’re used to having long nails. I loved tuna throughout pregnancy, I would have 2 tins a week and loved every minute of it! You can go back to wearing your thongs when you recover and feel comfortable to. Don’t loose yourself after pregnancy because other people have and regret letting it happen and think that nobody can stay their same wonderful pre baby self. Keep positive and true to yourself and you won’t loose any of yourself once baby’s here! X
Weird maybe but I loved pregnancy, enjoyed giving birth, and loved my hospital stay. It was so exciting, and the midwife was incredible. The Princess Royal in Glasgow. She’s 13 now and I think back so fondly of that first week. Enjoy every moment it’s so special.
I’ve been quietly following your career for years now and I am so absolutely delighted for you both and your beautiful growing family! What a lovely, exciting change! I hope you’re enjoying the journey and I wish you all the very best things 🖤
Omigosh I have always wanted a MINI and I finally bought myself one a month ago and it’s amazing! It’s so cute and so sporty and people stop me constantly to tell me they love my car which is so foreign to me! The best 🥰🥰
I love vlog days ! Love the new earring and hearing about how baby girl is growing how your feeling the house and love your purple eyeshadows ! Don’t worry about undercut it will grow quick !! Especially with being pregnant xxx
Eggs in a cup!! Made me miss my grandma. She was from Scotland and raised me in NY. Haven’t heard eggs in a cup in ages, you just gave me a craving, lol
You’re both blessed to be having a baby. You don’t need to listen to all the negatives, the positives far, far outweigh them. Just enjoy the experience, your own common sense is enough, when you’re in doubt ask someone you trust. ENJOY the experience, soooo exciting. Healthy and happy Christmas to your little family. ❤
Honestly, the part I hated most about pregnancy was all the negative comments from people who had already experienced being a parent. "Don't get used to that", "Just wait till blah blah blah", "You can't do blah blah blah". Like being pregnant is hard enough. The only advice I wish I'd had was sleep as much as you can and enjoy all the pleasures that happen every day so you're not sitting there worrying about eating a tuna sandwich or whether or not you can have long nails or not. I realised people are just bitter about being parents. That has to be it or I don't understand why else they would do it.
I noticed this so much with my first, and it made me so nervous but I now have a 17 month old and the main thing I’ve learnt is to take what people say with a pinch of salt. Merry Christmas ❤
Loving the changes you're making to your house! Yes, when I was pregnant with my daughter people loved to micromanage every aspect of it! And strangers touching you! It's quite a bizarre time, hang in there!
Enjoy every moment!!!! This is such an amazing time. You look absolutely beautiful and are glowing. Try to ignore everything else which is easier said then done. Have a Merry Christmas and happy new year. Enjoy your time off. It is well deserved.
Jamie you look absolutely amazing. Talk about blooming xxx So excited for baby Vieve-McCann to grace the vlogs. Thanks you so much for sharing your journey with us xxx
My sister had her acrylics on the full time my nephew was a baby and honestly it wasn’t hard! You end up just adapting and if its something you want to keep, them keep them!
Everyone has an opinion when you’re pregnant. My daughter is 10 and I’m a single parent. The only thing really that’s changed throughout is lack of free time. But honestly baby girl will come and you’ll wonder what on earth you done before she was here. You do you Jamie, you know best always. Xxx
Omg I was fully tearing up at you giving hugs to people receiving the wee gift boxes 😭😭 hope you, Jack, baby girl bump and all the fam have the most lovely Christmas xx
Honestly don't stress about the house stuff, me and my husband were homeless when our little bean arrived. Completed on our home when she was 2 months old and only just sorted the spare room out as her room for her first birthday. She didn't notice anything 🤣 you'll just want a comfy bed for you and her to chill!
You look stunning with this eyeshadow. So obsessed with your makeup and overall style. Congratulations again and please do keep sharing everything. Merry Christmas x
Honestly people are so weird, they are desperate to tell you what you 'can't have' or 'cant do'. Currently have a one year old and I have had super long acrylics since he was born! Just because they couldn't cope doesn't mean you won't! Xx
Honestly I would love to be in your daughters shoes when she finds all the old Polaroids of you and jack. You guys clearly love each other SO MUCH ❤ so happy for you guys! Can’t wait for your peanut to get here ✨
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and the best of New Years! You're one smart lady and will always know what's best for you and your baby! Enjoy this beautiful experience!
The cutest pregnant belly 🥹❤️🥹❤️🥹❤️🥹❤️ I feel like I’ve grown with you in the years that I’ve been supporting you, and I am SO HAPPY for both you and Jack 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Taking a gift box to people houses is such a lovely idea Jamie you really are the sweetest person 🥰 have the best Christmas Jamie, Jack, dogs and bump! ❤⭐
Such a lovely video 🥰 pay no notice to the know alls and their unsolicited 'advice'. Merry Christmas to you and Jack and your beautiful doggies and wee girl ❤️ with lots of love. 🏴 xxx
Motherhood is the most beautiful gift. Yes, it requires sacrifice, and selfless. But there is nothing wrong with the refining that motherhood brings. We are ment to evolve and grow. And nothing can be more rewarding then our sweet children.🥰🙏🏻
Unfortunately people have their own opinions that they feel they have the right to air, yes so much changes when you have babies and a lot of the freedoms you once had will change completely but it’s all for the better, once you have your baby you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her! Kids change you, but I’m my personal opinion it’s for the better. The love you’ll experience, there’s nothing in this world like it 🥰 I have two, and they’re without a doubt the best thing that have ever happened to me. You do you, focus on you, your baby and your family, don’t let unnecessary comments upset you ♥️
Jamie, not sure if you’re going to read this but this is coming from a place of love myself. I had my baby girl this year, first baby. I’m just going to share with you some of my experiences, even if you take away a little bit, that’s awesome. • Learn about colic, not that it’ll happen to your baby but it’s actually very common and if you can get on top of it immediately it’s best for both you and baby. I recommend colic bottles, colic specific formula, and you can also get colic drops depending on severity/need. • I didn’t know about post partum hair loss prior to pregancy, but I’m still dealing with the grow back 11 months later. From what I hear it’s pretty unavoidable even with preventive supplements. I now have bangs lmao. • When people say “you’re going to get no sleep after giving birth,” sure, they’re somewhat right. But us women produce oxytocin like crazy post partum which does a lot like helping you produce breastmilk, but it also includes making being awake easy and waking up easy. I personally struggle without lots of sleep, but those few immediate weeks/months postpartum it was a breeze to wake up and stay up for my little girl. Your body has done/will be doing incredible things, and you have this little bundle of absolute love to take care of. You won’t get much sleep, but you’ll also be perfectly fine. I’m sure Jack will take turns with you anyway so you can get some well earned sleep. • I’m pretty sure it’s not practiced in America because I’ve seen a lot of Americans on RUclips get weirded out by it, but in Australia and I’m pretty sure over where you are Jamie they practice swaddling. It works wonders, don’t be afraid of it. I’ve seen people get nervous about it hurting them, but it doesn’t and they love it. Mother’s womb is a cosy area, and swaddling mimics the womb and helps calm, especially newborn babies. It keeps them asleep for longer as well because they also have the startle reflex - where they can wake themselves up just by moving their arms. • Do whatever works for you and your family. There is a lot of pressure by people to “do this, don’t do that, don’t spoon feed, breast is best, don’t swaddle, don’t blah.” If it works for you and your baby, do it. Baby lead weaning doesn’t work for me for example, my baby has choked now three times me trying different methods with her. I’m happy spoon feeding her, and we also get to bond over it. I’m not going to persist for the sake of societal pressure, and neither should you but in regards to anything when it comes to your baby. • Post partum is a whole other ride. I weirdly gained 20KG’s after giving birth and I have no idea how, but your body is healing, it’s working itself out again, and it’s changed permanently in some aspects. I have found that I’m learning my body all over again. Be patient with it, your body is incredible. • Take as many photos and videos as possible. It’s so damn cliche but they do grow so fast, especially within that first year though. It goes from pushing themselves up, finding their fists, finding their feet, rolling over, raspberries, sitting up, and then they’re standing. Document, capture, and cherish every moment. Again, not sure if you’ll read. This isn’t that much advice but it’s also a lot at the same time. I wish you nothing but the best sweet pea, and I’m so happy you get to start your wee family. I hope I helped.
This is so crazy! So I’m 10 weeks 2 days, and all your cravings are exactly the same as mine! I’m loving crunchy green apples, I’ve craved prawn cocktail and finally had it today (the best) and I thick breaded tuna sandwich.. I’m now getting the vibes I’m having a girl! Plus lower back pain and not really feeling too badly sick currently just eyes bigger than my belly 😂❤
Everyone’s always really quick to tell you “just wait…” for all the negatives but rarely they say the positives so just wait until you hold your baby for the first time, or the first time she smiles, or the first time she calls you mummy! Hope you all have a wonderful festive period💗
First time she calls me mummy 😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹

The first time you hear her say Dada and see how happy it makes Jack... Your heart will melt ❤

Gosh, I dont like those people. I’m not a parent, but a dog parent and the most owners the same! Everyone knows everything better and what is good for your dog or not.
It is your pregnancy. Why do people feel the need to „share“ their advises without you asking for it? Or better their so called horror stories.

It’s the hardest and most rewarding thing! My son is about 3 and autistic it has been very rough but there’s no love like it. Everyone loves to tell you the dreadful things but never will tell you how it all melts away when you see them or at the end of the day when they’re asleep🥰
“I’m not gonna beef welly my baby” nearly finished me 😂 Hope you're enjoying Christmas holidays!! 🎄❤
Take no notice of the negativity, the positives will far outweigh the negatives, you do you beautiful xx
Nevermind what you cant do... it's what you can do! Back in the 80/90"s I used to drop my 2 off at nursery at 8am drive to B'ham airport fly to Brussels/Paris wherever, have meetings and be back to pick them up by 5pm. So don't worry about anything! You do you! Nice to follow your journey as we are expecting our first granddaughter in February. Happy Christmas both xxx
Love this!!!
JAMIE!! Please try a Mars bar whilst pregnant they taste amazing like on a whole other level it's strange honestly it's like they are made for pregnant people 😂 please let me know what you think if you try one x
People just can’t help themselves from those sort of comments. This is one of the most exciting times of your life. Enjoy every minute of it. Merry Christmas to you both!
Hi Jamie! Yes. Yes I remember when I was pregnant 22 years ago, a lot of people like to be doomsayers. Or maybe they’re being funny or saying it out of love, but I got so much of that. “good luck, get sleep now! Oh, don’t eat that, ooh don’t make the bath hot”… never mind the panic I was put into over being on anxiety meds so I promptly went off of them and thankfully I was emotionally healthy enough to do so but I look back and I wonder if it couldn’t have been worked out not so abruptly? Anyway, in my 50s with an adult son, I can tell you that it’s also wonderful, beautiful, miraculous. I recently transferred some footage from my sons first couple of Christmases and I am watching them over and over, with the biggest smile on my face. You and Jack are going to be wonderful! 🌲🤎🤎🤎
I am 34 weeks pregnant and I TOTALLY agree!!! It’s very annoying and will completely change how I talk to pregnant people in the future. I wish people would stop spinning the negative on everything. Ex: baby is growing well and you’re excited they’re healthy then someone comes along and tells you that you’ll probably tear or just say “ouch!”. Lol
I had my nails taken off for when I went into labour incase I had to have a c-section but had then put back on when baby was 11 days old because I didn’t feel like myself and I’ve had them ever since (she’s 6 now). Just do you and don’t listen to the know it all’s! 😊
Merry Christmas❤🎄hope you have a peaceful and happy Christmas break🫶🏼
Regardinng postpartum hairloss. It doesn't has o do much with the health of the hair, more so hormones. During pregnancy hormones prevent hairloss that would normally shed. After giving birth hormones change and all those hair that meant to shed normally, start shedding and it looks scary. Sending love!
Aaaaah! Jack saying "santaPaws" to Drogba is the cutest 🥰 hope you all had a merry lovely Christmas 💖
So great & happy for you. I had maternity massages every month I was pregnant
Being a parent has been the most rewarding and toughest adventures! You both will be tried but it is worth every minute!
@Jamie Genevieve its been such a pleasure to watch your pregnancy vlogs. I had a really hard time in my first trimester with morning sickness (throwing up 15 times a day). It finally resolved and then one day your little ultrasound popped up in my notifications. As a long time follower it kind of felt like I had a buddy in the journey. I am 21 weeks and so happy to get to follow along the pregnancy and parenting journey with you ❤️
I absolutely HATED the comments when i was pregnant, anyone i spoke to was the same, "just wait till this" "u cant do that anymore" "no social life now.... just wait" i shouted at a woman i worked with that said something along them lines i felt bad after but its so condescending i HATED IT!!!
You guys are going to nail parenthood! Tune out all the negative things people say. Parenting is actually pretty awesome. 🎉
I think a lot of the 'well you won't be doing that anymore' is often from people who stopped caring for themselves and now feel bitter towards women who just get back to being who they love to be. I had all that but still wear thongs, do my nails every three weeks, wear makeup, nice clothes etc. Because that is just me, pre & post my little miracle. And come baby #2,#3,#4 whatever I will still be doing what makes me feel good because if you feel good you can be a better mama!
Love you so much Jamie! Im sick with Covid in Bed and I missed my family’s big vacation to LA for Christmas to Universal and Disneyland! But your videos bring me so much joy and even sick I bed, you still make me so happy! Thank you for sharing your light, Merry Christmas!!! 🎄❤️💚❤️
Don’t listen to anyone else, people just scare munger. Your pregnancy is unique to you. You will do what is right for you and your baby. I found pregnancy a wonderful time, absolutely loved it. I for one look for to the updates and how you feel and how your doing. We all love your content and look forward to a new video. Keep doing what your doing, your amazing ❤
This is a beautiful time in your life and its your choice to decide what and what not to do. My baby turns 4 on the 29th and its happened in a blink. Dont get stuck on the negative its a beautiful time girl❤️❤️
Don’t worry about what people say, everyone’s different. On the last day of work we went for drinks, the girl on maternity came with her baby, she was breastfeeding in a full jammed Wetherspoons and really enjoyed passing her baby around, she got kicked out by the staff at 9. I just thought, good for her not letting her baby change her life too much ❤
I remember thinking when I was that pregnant “how is my stomach EVER going to stretch any MORE! It’s impossible!” …. And then stretched it did for about 5 more month 😂😂😂😂 hang in there ! Got my 1st Vieve purchase to the US and I can’t stop drooling over it !
It's true that people will only tell you the bad/hard stuff. People will always give you unsolicited opinions because you're pregnant and it's annoying. Every person is different and every baby is different. You won't know how things are until you get there. Having children is wonderful and hard at times, but you will know best for that child. I'm thrilled for you and am glad you're enjoying your pregnancy. I love hearing about it! Also, I ordered my C'est La Vieve jumper and I could not be happier!!
We love a vloggg 🥹🫶🏽🫶🏽
Not me sitting here 13 weeks pregnant with my first, been here since the start of your YT journey and cried when you said you had another mini (that’s also my fav car) the nostalgia was a lot for my pregnant brain 🥴🥴
My daughter is 5 months and I have had my natural long nails the entire time, makes no difference if you’re used to having long nails. I loved tuna throughout pregnancy, I would have 2 tins a week and loved every minute of it! You can go back to wearing your thongs when you recover and feel comfortable to. Don’t loose yourself after pregnancy because other people have and regret letting it happen and think that nobody can stay their same wonderful pre baby self. Keep positive and true to yourself and you won’t loose any of yourself once baby’s here! X
I wanna see ALL the baby things!! I'm so excited for you!!!
Weird maybe but I loved pregnancy, enjoyed giving birth, and loved my hospital stay. It was so exciting, and the midwife was incredible. The Princess Royal in Glasgow. She’s 13 now and I think back so fondly of that first week. Enjoy every moment it’s so special.
You’ll love all the sleepless nights because that’s part of being a parent so enjoy everything Jamie and Merry Christmas xx
I’ve been quietly following your career for years now and I am so absolutely delighted for you both and your beautiful growing family! What a lovely, exciting change!
I hope you’re enjoying the journey and I wish you all the very best things 🖤
Omigosh I have always wanted a MINI and I finally bought myself one a month ago and it’s amazing! It’s so cute and so sporty and people stop me constantly to tell me they love my car which is so foreign to me! The best 🥰🥰
I love vlog days ! Love the new earring and hearing about how baby girl is growing how your feeling the house and love your purple eyeshadows ! Don’t worry about undercut it will grow quick !! Especially with being pregnant xxx
Eggs in a cup!! Made me miss my grandma. She was from Scotland and raised me in NY. Haven’t heard eggs in a cup in ages, you just gave me a craving, lol
I got my first mini in May this year, John Cooper Works S, it move like lightening and I bloody love it, enjoy!😀🚗
You’re both blessed to be having a baby. You don’t need to listen to all the negatives, the positives far, far outweigh them. Just enjoy the experience, your own common sense is enough, when you’re in doubt ask someone you trust. ENJOY the experience, soooo exciting. Healthy and happy Christmas to your little family. ❤
Honestly, the part I hated most about pregnancy was all the negative comments from people who had already experienced being a parent. "Don't get used to that", "Just wait till blah blah blah", "You can't do blah blah blah". Like being pregnant is hard enough. The only advice I wish I'd had was sleep as much as you can and enjoy all the pleasures that happen every day so you're not sitting there worrying about eating a tuna sandwich or whether or not you can have long nails or not. I realised people are just bitter about being parents. That has to be it or I don't understand why else they would do it.
I just picked up my fourth convertible Mini! Best….car….ever! ❤
Dude I eat baked potatoes like crazy I’m glad I’m not alone 😂 you gotta have a sweet tea with it! Classic southern lunch ❤
I noticed this so much with my first, and it made me so nervous but I now have a 17 month old and the main thing I’ve learnt is to take what people say with a pinch of salt. Merry Christmas ❤
So so pleased for you J! You deserve all the very best!
Loving the changes you're making to your house! Yes, when I was pregnant with my daughter people loved to micromanage every aspect of it! And strangers touching you! It's quite a bizarre time, hang in there!
Enjoy every moment!!!! This is such an amazing time. You look absolutely beautiful and are glowing. Try to ignore everything else which is easier said then done. Have a Merry Christmas and happy new year. Enjoy your time off. It is well deserved.
Jamie you look absolutely amazing. Talk about blooming xxx
So excited for baby Vieve-McCann to grace the vlogs. Thanks you so much for sharing your journey with us xxx
Looking great!!!! Ignore what people tell you. Do what feels right. Merry Christmas to you and Jack and the pups!!!
My sister had her acrylics on the full time my nephew was a baby and honestly it wasn’t hard! You end up just adapting and if its something you want to keep, them keep them!
Everyone has an opinion when you’re pregnant. My daughter is 10 and I’m a single parent. The only thing really that’s changed throughout is lack of free time. But honestly baby girl will come and you’ll wonder what on earth you done before she was here. You do you Jamie, you know best always. Xxx
I’m so excited for your pregnancy journey and looking forward to seeing as much as use are happy to show us of your progress xxxx❤❤❤❤
I love minis!! Congrats on your new car babe 😍
Merry Christmas to Jamie, Jack, June, Drogba, and baby girl 👶 🤰 👨 🐕 🐕 🎄 🎁 🚗
Omg I was fully tearing up at you giving hugs to people receiving the wee gift boxes 😭😭 hope you, Jack, baby girl bump and all the fam have the most lovely Christmas xx
Honestly don't stress about the house stuff, me and my husband were homeless when our little bean arrived. Completed on our home when she was 2 months old and only just sorted the spare room out as her room for her first birthday. She didn't notice anything 🤣 you'll just want a comfy bed for you and her to chill!
Merry Christmas Jamie, Jack and little bump. 🥰🎅🎊
You are glowing and so beautiful. So very happy 4 u both. Good vibes and much love. 🥰
You look stunning with this eyeshadow. So obsessed with your makeup and overall style. Congratulations again and please do keep sharing everything. Merry Christmas x
Honestly people are so weird, they are desperate to tell you what you 'can't have' or 'cant do'.
Currently have a one year old and I have had super long acrylics since he was born! Just because they couldn't cope doesn't mean you won't! Xx
I’m so excited for you! I’m 17 weeks today and it’s so cool to hear your experience slightly ahead of me! Sending so much love ❤
Honestly I would love to be in your daughters shoes when she finds all the old Polaroids of you and jack. You guys clearly love each other SO MUCH ❤ so happy for you guys! Can’t wait for your peanut to get here ✨
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and the best of New Years! You're one smart lady and will always know what's best for you and your baby! Enjoy this beautiful experience!
I'll be 18 week on Christmas day and I'm so excited, I've got such a little bump at the moment. So excited to hopefully pop ❤
Congratulations 🥰
Congrats momma! You’re going to be an awesome mommy!
The cutest pregnant belly 🥹❤️🥹❤️🥹❤️🥹❤️ I feel like I’ve grown with you in the years that I’ve been supporting you, and I am SO HAPPY for both you and Jack 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Merry Christmas guys!! Thanks for sharing Jamie. Baby is growing beautifully. I loved every stage of pregnancy🥰.
Taking a gift box to people houses is such a lovely idea Jamie you really are the sweetest person 🥰 have the best Christmas Jamie, Jack, dogs and bump! ❤⭐
Such a lovely video 🥰 pay no notice to the know alls and their unsolicited 'advice'. Merry Christmas to you and Jack and your beautiful doggies and wee girl ❤️ with lots of love. 🏴 xxx
I love the purple eye shadow! Congratulations again on the baby
I love you and Jack. You are the cutest, kindest couple. 💗
We care and are interested in everything!!!!! I’m so excited and happy for you guys !!!!!!
You are glowing pregnancy looks good on you enjoy
These videos are so comforting to me - have an amazing Christmas soon to be a family of three !! 🥰🥰🥰
Motherhood is the most beautiful gift. Yes, it requires sacrifice, and selfless. But there is nothing wrong with the refining that motherhood brings. We are ment to evolve and grow. And nothing can be more rewarding then our sweet children.🥰🙏🏻
This made me tear up. I’m so happy for you guys. Blessings and Happy Christmas 🎄❤
Unfortunately people have their own opinions that they feel they have the right to air, yes so much changes when you have babies and a lot of the freedoms you once had will change completely but it’s all for the better, once you have your baby you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her! Kids change you, but I’m my personal opinion it’s for the better. The love you’ll experience, there’s nothing in this world like it 🥰 I have two, and they’re without a doubt the best thing that have ever happened to me. You do you, focus on you, your baby and your family, don’t let unnecessary comments upset you ♥️
Merry Christmas to you, Jack & bump 🎄
Jamie, not sure if you’re going to read this but this is coming from a place of love myself. I had my baby girl this year, first baby. I’m just going to share with you some of my experiences, even if you take away a little bit, that’s awesome.
• Learn about colic, not that it’ll happen to your baby but it’s actually very common and if you can get on top of it immediately it’s best for both you and baby. I recommend colic bottles, colic specific formula, and you can also get colic drops depending on severity/need.
• I didn’t know about post partum hair loss prior to pregancy, but I’m still dealing with the grow back 11 months later. From what I hear it’s pretty unavoidable even with preventive supplements. I now have bangs lmao.
• When people say “you’re going to get no sleep after giving birth,” sure, they’re somewhat right. But us women produce oxytocin like crazy post partum which does a lot like helping you produce breastmilk, but it also includes making being awake easy and waking up easy. I personally struggle without lots of sleep, but those few immediate weeks/months postpartum it was a breeze to wake up and stay up for my little girl. Your body has done/will be doing incredible things, and you have this little bundle of absolute love to take care of. You won’t get much sleep, but you’ll also be perfectly fine. I’m sure Jack will take turns with you anyway so you can get some well earned sleep.
• I’m pretty sure it’s not practiced in America because I’ve seen a lot of Americans on RUclips get weirded out by it, but in Australia and I’m pretty sure over where you are Jamie they practice swaddling. It works wonders, don’t be afraid of it. I’ve seen people get nervous about it hurting them, but it doesn’t and they love it. Mother’s womb is a cosy area, and swaddling mimics the womb and helps calm, especially newborn babies. It keeps them asleep for longer as well because they also have the startle reflex - where they can wake themselves up just by moving their arms.
• Do whatever works for you and your family. There is a lot of pressure by people to “do this, don’t do that, don’t spoon feed, breast is best, don’t swaddle, don’t blah.” If it works for you and your baby, do it. Baby lead weaning doesn’t work for me for example, my baby has choked now three times me trying different methods with her. I’m happy spoon feeding her, and we also get to bond over it. I’m not going to persist for the sake of societal pressure, and neither should you but in regards to anything when it comes to your baby.
• Post partum is a whole other ride. I weirdly gained 20KG’s after giving birth and I have no idea how, but your body is healing, it’s working itself out again, and it’s changed permanently in some aspects. I have found that I’m learning my body all over again. Be patient with it, your body is incredible.
• Take as many photos and videos as possible. It’s so damn cliche but they do grow so fast, especially within that first year though. It goes from pushing themselves up, finding their fists, finding their feet, rolling over, raspberries, sitting up, and then they’re standing. Document, capture, and cherish every moment.
Again, not sure if you’ll read. This isn’t that much advice but it’s also a lot at the same time. I wish you nothing but the best sweet pea, and I’m so happy you get to start your wee family. I hope I helped.
I love when you say a “wee baby” it’s so cute lol
This is so crazy! So I’m 10 weeks 2 days, and all your cravings are exactly the same as mine! I’m loving crunchy green apples, I’ve craved prawn cocktail and finally had it today (the best) and I thick breaded tuna sandwich.. I’m now getting the vibes I’m having a girl! Plus lower back pain and not really feeling too badly sick currently just eyes bigger than my belly 😂❤
Congratulations 🥰
