Funny how you can be so happy for someone you've never met. ❤
You made me cry at 9:46 . It was our exact journey back then and my exact feelings : what is life going to be for us without children ? I have endometriosis and could not get pregnant for the past 6years. We’ve been through IVF, treatments, etc. It’s finally when we decided to take a break from all of this and embrace the idea of life as a childless couple that the miracle happened. I’m due on February the 29th. I feel you exactly through and through. I am sincerely happy for you both. So much baby knits to do now !!
Awww congratulations.. I🙏 for the best for you !
I would love to see it, children and baby versions of the sweaters you've already designed. I do a lot of knitting for me and my daughter and she likes to have matching so anytime a pattern has adult and child. It's a huge plus
this is a pretty good idea 😍🥰
We finally had our daughter almost 5 years after we got married. I was 34 then ) We prayed a lot as I not only wanted a baby, but also a change of my attitude. I had always feared to have children, I thought I wouldn’t be able to bear maternity. But it turned out to be the greatest happiness of my life 🥰 We are currently expecting our second daughter. And it seems that we are having our babies at around the same time - end of February, beginning of March ))
Praying for your family for strength, health and know that God's love for you is so immense! God bless you!
This is my fav knitting channel. Take a break as long as you need… I’ll be back for everything when you’re ready. I don’t think you need to worry. Maybe just vlog a bit when/if you feel like it. You have such a loyal following so hoping you can rest a bit now. You had a book baby now a human baby in three years. 😳 That’s such an inspiration. ❤ AND a lot of work! xx
Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable. A lot of women, including myself, can relate to the difficulty getting pregnant, and all the feelings and challenges that come with that. ❤
Who else was checking in daily to see if she’s posted again?! Just me? ❤️ So happy for you!
I love that sweater from last spring-it’s very cheerful.
I’d like to share that when I was young like you I dreaded that question about having children as it just wasn’t meant to be for us. Once we were at a party and I worn an oversized padded shoulder outfit and a person ran up to me declaring, oh you are finally having a baby”- I thought I was going to go hysterical and ruin the party. Needless to say I didn’t wear that outfit again. I’m in my 70’s now and married forever and the question I get now is, WHY didn’t you have children? Wow-it never ends. Even though we have a nice life and marriage that question still gives me pause and I want to cry as we are alone. But to your point folks need to be mindful of questions regarding A woman’s parenthood status. I never ask those questions no matter if a woman is 18 or 80. As woman we need to be more careful of other woman’s feelings.
You guys will be great parents and I can’t wait to see all the tiny people knits.
❤
OMG, congratulations!!!!! I liked your reflections on how personal it is to ask someone when they are having kids or why they don't have any (or even why they are having kids), because we never know the person's situation. Sometimes we just do not understand until we go through a situation ourselves. May you and your baby remain healthy on this journey!
I somehow stumbled across your videos this morning and have watched a couple before I try getting on with my day. You’ve calmed and inspired me, and also your happiness is infectious - genuinely, thank you very much ❤ I struggle a lot at the moment with some mental health things and feeling my own happiness can be hard, so it’s been a delight to ‘borrow’ yours and I hope to carry it through the rest of my day 🤍🤍
I feel you ❤ It took me 7 years and a change of partner to have my first baby (5 unsuccessful IVF with my ex and a miracle baby naturally with my new partner) ❤ I had my daughter at almost 37 and my son at 43 as we weren’t as lucky the second time around maybe because I was older. But I had this second miracle baby and feel grateful to have these 2 amazing human beings in our life ❤️ Parenthood is amazing and challenging at the same time but kids grow very quickly so you have to remember to enjoy and embrace every moment ❤️🙏☺️ And when it’s hard, remember that it will pass ❤️🫶 I’m knitting your Darling cardigan right now and sending you love from California ❤️
Do not fear becoming a Mom. Nobody was borned to be one. Every body learns to be a parent on the way. Being tired is normal, the baby needs lots of energy to grow and You have to accept it. It will be better just do not stress yourself. Remember everything You go through emotionally gets to your babe an hour later, and will feal your fears, your happyness, your stress as well. Have little conversations with your child make a routine for it and in your mind make sure everything will be okay. You are okay You both are okay. Once You hold your baby You will know. I was 39 when I had to let go of my wish to become a mother. My body is just not tolerating to have a baby due to health issues. Guess it was not written in my book. The biggest pain was always to feel that there were those small changes week by week and then nothing. But You made it. And I am so glad for You. That child will go to the best place possible. ❤❤❤❤
Our journey took us almost 6 years, lots of treatments, procedures, surgery and in-vitro, but it was all worth it. He`s now 6 months old and the cutest baby ever! This will be the most important and meaningful project of your life, so don`t stress about it, it will all fall in place!
That sounds like my husband and I! Our baby is 7 years old now. It was a long and difficult road.
I didn’t know you were expecting! Congratulations!! 💝
Autocorrect tried to make this I didn’t knit you were expecting 😂😂😂
haha I love that and thank you so much :))
❤❤ Sending love and good thoughts. All of your feelings are so real and I completely understand it. I had a lot of issues getting pregnant. Not being able to get pregnant caused my first marriage to end. In the end it took me 10 years to have my son. The roller coaster of emotions during pregnancy and after having him were so much. Having my son even caused me to change my career path to online marketing and advertising. You are among friends and I hope everything goes well.
I felt for you so much in this video! My only baby was born when I was 36. It's blessing and challenging in equal parts. Don't forget to take care of yourself along the way! ❤
Dear Kika, they make snaps on tape that you sew to the inseam of infant pants/ fabric or knitted or crochet- and they allow access for nappy/diaper changes. Please buy some. You will be happy on cold nights when you don’t have to strip the baby for changes. I knit tons of infant & toddler designs and adding that tape is such a winner- no button holes and no individual snaps to sew! Can’t wait for your baby!
Congratulations to you! As someone who cannot believe that my "babies" are now adults, may I share my knitting advice? (1) don't make anything newborn size. Babies grow so fast. (2) You may want to donate some of your baby knits once your baby outgrows them, but keep one or two. They do grow up fast. Keeping a couple of the best things I made for my babies gives me great joy when I look at them. And thank you so much for your videos, which truly communicate the joy of knitting.
How exciting! Congratulations for you and your family!
Don't feel bad for taking the time you need for you and baby. We will be here when you get back❤❤❤
What an exciting journey through pregnancy - I know you're making every moment count after the very long wait. A special time for you both - loving the videos - you are a very talented young lady.
It took us 5 years to have our little boy and he was worth the wait ❤️
Congratulations! This is such a lovely update from one of my favorite calming youtubers ❤
Wow, thank you so much
I agree with the "calming youtubers." I listen to videos at work because it is so relaxing. The only problem is I wish I could be knitting too!
Kika, I've always loved to watch your videos because I love to knit anc crochet and love how you make the videos so personal in a way that I could easily watch a 5h vlog without stoping it. Now it's been even more nice to watch your vlogs because I'm also pregnant (13 weeks) and seems like I'm connected to you in a way 😆 I'm sure that you're going to be an amazing mother and I hope your baby comes very healthy to this beautiful family you have!
Everything you said about disappointments and hopes and it being personal makes a lot of sense. Every story is different, enjoy your pregnancy.
KiKa, we waited 5 years with our first and another 5 years for our second. All I like to say is, try to get into a routine with your baby. It will make life easier for all of you.
The first few weeks may be a bit of a challenge especially when your hormones have to adjust and find a new equilibrium. Thankfully you have your husband at your side to help and support you through all that.
Many knitters are women who understand the emotional rollercoaster you go through and won't have the same high expectations and standard you set for yourself.
It's Kika's time; time for you and your growing family. Enjoy it ❤
Thank you for sharing your journey - as someone struggling with fertility at the moment (it's been 2 years and I'm about to have surgery for endometriosis) I find I scroll very fast past pregnancy posts particularly in the knitting world but decided to watch this video and I'm so happy for you!
Love your videos! I like the knitting, the personal touch, the place. I'm Irish, and living in Louisiana. I probably knit 2 or 3 hours a day and your videos are inspiring.
Dear Kika,
I am very happy for you that your wish of having a baby has come true. I don't have this wish myself, but it breaks my heart when other women's wish for a child remains unfulfilled 😔. The thoughts in the head must be so exhausting. I am so glad from the bottom of my heart that you two will hold your miracle in your arms in spring ❤
Such an emotional Video ❤ I send lots of Love to you and i believe that you will do your journey very well 💕
I cried for you and I wished I could give you a hug... I hope all keeps going on so well for you .
I am so happy for you and your husband and I hope you have a wonderfully smooth pregnancy and delivery.
took me five years, not an easy road to travel - glad that you and your husband are now expecting - take it easy and enjoy each and every moment of this part of your journey. good luck and god bless.
So nice, so sweet to see you, not only your briliant artistic work ! Wish you a lot of joy and happiness with motherhood!
This is exciting news! Every happiness to your family.
We prayed and hoped for 6 years before our son was born. Thank you for sharing your story. You were able to capture exactly what I felt during the time of wanting a baby.
Thank you so much for sharing! 🤩
You talked about showing all your current knit projects.. maybe in the next video? I would really enjoy that. 😊 👍🏼
Wish you all the best for a wonderful pregnancy!
By the way: Tomorrow I am going to cast on your Salty Days Sweater in a dusty blue 🥰 Yarn is ready, swatch made, instructions printed.. I'm really looking forward to it.
Sending lots of love from Germany ☀️
Congratulations to you both. Wishing you joy and happiness. 🎉
I am really happy for you. And I want to say THANK YOU for telling us about your journey, it is giving a lot of hope for those who are also waiting for it to happen ❤
This video is so sweet. You're shining with happinesses. That is so inspiring. Good luck to your family🤍
In my experience, they sleep all the time when they're newborns, especially if you're holding them. I started crocheting a lot, I started making doilies when he was 2 months old. Because with knitting he could wake up suddenly and knock the loops off my needles or a toddler could grab the needles. Now I knit when I'm on a stool😀 or the baby is busy and crochet usually when I'm holding him, sometimes I knit :)
My husband and I tried for 3 years. After many heartbreaks, and coming to the realization that we may be childless, I had to give it to God.
About 6 months later, I had all the classic pregnancy symptoms, and I was still in denial (maybe I didn't want to deal with the heartbreak again?) I finally took a pregnancy test and come to find out I was 6 weeks pregnant. Now, we have a healthy, beautiful 6 year old girl.
So happy for you guys ❤ you two will be such great parents
A very clear dialogue, of what has been a difficult journey. And as you say, different endings for different couples. You will love the next stage and your little bundle - we did! 🥰
❤ Again, congratulations. You are looking beautiful with your perfect little baby bump. 😊 Its a scary but exciting time when you are having your first baby. Just remember to take time for you both to enjoy these precious days. They certainly go a lot faster than you realise, whether it be your first or third pregnancy. Wishing you well and looking forward to these beautiful updates. ❤❤😊
what a lovely bag Yuki made for you! I love it!!!
Kika, you are glowing! So happy you’re sharing your journey with us. My youngest daughter of three is almost 35! I remember so much. Time flies by so enjoy it all! You’re going to be wonderful parents!
Thank you for sharing your journey. I suffered from secondary infertility for two years before I had my second child and it was so hard. You are right, that once you put your mind to wanting a child, it is so hard each month when it doesn't happen. You are glowing and look so happy. Wishing the best for you!
Congrats! You and your husband are about to embark on the most amazing and challenging journey in life! I was 40 when I had our daughter (she is 5 now) we fell in love with your knits two years ago (I got your lovely book!) and I have so much gratitude. My girl is knitting thanks to your inspiring channel. Being a mom is truly the hardest but the greatest thing ever!!!! I wish you and your family all the best. My daughter says “I love your baby ❤” 😊 kids are the best!! So excited for you both.
All the best in your new motherhood adventure!!
We were so blessed to get pregnant with our first baby as soon as one month after we decided to start a family. But our second baby was a long waiting one. ... By now he is 11 years old, and we are far past of waiting. But recently we had an accident which may had lead to a third baby, which we didn't really planned or wanted, and I am over 40yo now, so not really a time for a new baby, but what a HUGE disappointment it was for me and my husband when we saw this test saying not pregnant. ... I am so so happy for both of you and wish you all the happiness and strength in your new journey. Looking forward to meet your new beautiful cute little "project" modelling all your new knitting ideas ♡♡♡
Ps: by the way, your last video I was watching before this one was about 2 months ago, the one with a pie incident, i had a thought you might be pregnant. I am not a witch (as my hubby calls me), but in past 18 years I noticed that I can feel women pregnant before they reveal the news 😊 i am so glad/freaked/shocked to know my intuition was right again 😆 is it a time to open a future telling booth? 🤣
Congratulations! My husband and I struggled with infertility and pregnancy loss for 7 years before we had our daughter. I think it makes you a better parent. Enjoy every stage of pregnancy and childhood!
Congratulations to you both! I have watched your videos from the beginning and love how open and honest you have always been. I feel we have been on the journey with you. Wishing you every happiness for the future and thank you for the wonderful patterns you create. ❤
Congratulations with your pregnancy ❤ Big hugs for your journey and best wishes for the beautiful and intends time to come 🍀👣
Remember to eat, rest and get plenty of sleep, now and especially when the baby is born. You are creating a human !! Love watching your videos on this journey, it brings back all the memories when I got pregnant. I’ve had 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl. They are all married now and I have a Granddaughter. I can’t believe it, the time went by so fast and I enjoyed every minute (maybe not teenagers LOL!!). Love watching your videos and all the knitting content. Excited about seeing new patterns but when the baby comes, take time and rest and don’t worry about the business, it will all work out. The good thing about being self employed you can work whenever time permits. Enjoy this amazing time in your life.
This long-awaited child will be so loved. Congratulations!
I’m so excited and happy for you! I have two boys, both adults now and I remember that feeling before the first of stepping into the unknown. I’m very excited to see a new cable sweater in the making and a V neck too! I’m so proud of my Arctic Light Sweater, but I could not have done it without your tutorials lol. I’ll definitely be doing your new V neck cabled sweater if you release it 😊
I was really hoping you'd share the details, I can imagine how vulnerable it feels but it helps others in the same position so much. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your pregnancy journey. My husband and I are going through a similar situation right now and so I deeply understand your feelings. I wish so much health and happiness for you and your family, and of course I love your patterns.
I feel like I am reliving my situation. You inspire me to maybe record video about my journey. I actually started my channel because I was told I may not have children and after sepsis. After 6 years of marriage we decided to try to have children. Long story short it took us additional 10 years. Therefore after 16 years of marriage I got pregnant at the age of 39. I am expecting our second child now and it looks that I will have two while I am still 40 :) It was so hard during these 10 years but most of close people just thought that we don't want to have children that is why we don't have them. I even got not a nice message from old high school that I should focus to have family than having a career(?) anyway. I can laugh at it now as things turned out amazing but it was tough. I took something that was not related to 'get pregnant' and in 1.5 month after I was pregnant. That was a miracle for me.
You’re so beautiful and will be an incredible mother! It’s so apparent how much you love your little one already. It takes time to transition from maiden to mother, so give yourself and your husband grace along the way. 💖 Congratulations!
Congratulations!!!!!! 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Sending you and your growing family all the positive energy. Remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself the grace to move at the speed that's comfortable for you. Happy creating! 💚🧶💚
Well, while you're gone, we can rewatch your old videos! It will fill our Kutovakika void and some of your business void! ;)
Congratulations I wish for your journey to be a happy one. Enjoy every minute of it they. Grow up so fast.
I was recommended you channel during the late, long newborn nights with my baby last winter. I wish you all the best during your pregnancy and I will surely make a point to remember you channel after you take your maternity leave. I ended up taking a much longer leave than I was expecting. Thank you for sharing about your journey. And I hope you get to relax, enjoy, and have some fun in your last few months before baby arrives!
Thank you for sharing your story with us and in such a vulnerable way xx I’m sure you guys are going to be the best parents!!
I had the SAME sleeping problems. It was so frustrating laying awake at 1 am exhausted and wide awake. 😮 you got this Mama. Unisom was my best friend to help me sleep starting at 17 weeks
Aww.. I remember watching your wedding dress video and I got lost after that in a pregnancy of my own. So did I remember your channel? Yes.. I thought of it and came back here to see this news!!
The unknowns.. well.. your routine will adjust, and you might just have more inspiration with a live growing model!! 🥰
I love how Viggo “christened” the baby’s crib for you, giving his special kitty blessing … even though he might not know it. 😉 Be well. 🥰
This is normal of having negative feelings in pregnancy. More focusing on your knitting or something you like to do it. Or eating more food you love that will make you more happy. Give a hug to you. Love your videos.
I am so so so happy for you Kika :) all the best wishes!
I didn't know Juki had a son! What a wonderful family to be able to add to. I'm so glad such loving people are getting to grow their family ❤
In her house tour vlog she explained that he was living with them at that moment. I hope we'll get to see him one day!
So excited for you! Will watch after work today but you have given me such a lift to see this wonderful news!
Enjoy each day as it comes. And listen to your mother, she's been on this journey and will give you good advice 🙂
I'm so overjoyed for you to be where you are now after trying for such a long time. I pray your pregnancy goes well and smoothly and that the baby is healthy and happy! All the best to you and your growing family! And thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Kindest regards to you Kutovakika, and the very best of wishes with your ongoing pregnancy! I'm looking forward to the day that you share some baby knitting patterns with us. 🤗
Thank you for sharing your story ❤ I wish you, Juki, and the baby all the best!
You're looking so well. So excited for you both to meet your new baby. Enjoy being pregnant it's such a great time (I personally missed my bump!). See you soon. ❤
Congratulations!! So happy for you both.
I just love your channel! You have the most inviting personality and I so appreciated how you explain your knitting/designing process.
I cannot tell you how excited I am for you and your husband!! My husband and I had a long wait before we were blessed with our first child. Each one is a precious gift and I am praying for you all.
P.S. your kitties are so adorable!
You are glowing with happiness. Enjoy your pregnancy. It is such a wonderful time. I can’t wait to meet baby.😂
Félicitation 😍tous mes voeux pour ce bébé et pleins de projets pour le tricot 😊👐
i never threw up when pregnant. i was a little naucious but lemon juice helped. we are all different i guess. happy pregnancy to you!
Oh, I'll follow Yukke's bags. They're beautiful! I love your colors. So waiting for the sweater you wore at the airport. It's gorgeous. Someone told me that when I was pregnant to eat as soon as you got up to help because the nausea hit more on an empty stomach. Everything is such a blessing. Your furbabies know and I bet they're just as excited. Congrats again, and stay well, rest. We'll all be here when you feel you're ready to come back from maternity leave. No stress at all. All the best! Kimberly
Kika congratulations on your pregnancy for both of you!!! May Gob bless your pregnancy and May God bless your baby that the birth go well and smooth and you have a healthy gorgeous baby may you be blessed and the child amenxx
Thank you for sharing such a personal journey. Wishing you much joy, happiness and good health throughout your pregnancy! ❤ Enjoy every moment!
Dear Kika, I’m happy for you. I know how hard it can be to get questions about having children from people. We got our son, and 10 years later our daughter and in between I had nine miscarriages around 10 weeks pregnancy. After our daughter was born I got diagnosed with a rare disease, that explained the miscarriages. But all the questions about when is the second child coming were no fun. I wish you all the best!
That was really brave to share all those vulnerable moments…. So happy for you to be pregnant now ! Love watching all your designs… My daughter is pregnant too, has had so much trouble sleeping… All the best to you and baby!
Don’t panic, you’ll do pregnancy like you’ve done everything else… with passion and joy….
God will give you all you need: He gave you your career, helped you find the love of your life, he will hold your hand & give you the strength and joy through this wonderful time! Your an amazing woman, an amazing Artist! You will be an amazing mother and together your going to be wonderful parents! Of course your concerned; talk to your bump, he will reassure you he’s fine… your fine, & to enjoy this time! God bless, lm so excited for you…. Beverley🙏🏾❤️
I LOVE that you are enjoying my country! It's lovely to watch you smile while talking about it!! Portugal is amazing
😍Congratulations!!! Luv all your knitting projects
Congratulations 🎉👏🏾😊, blessings on a healthy 😌 baby 🍼 and the mother ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏🏾
I'm so excited for you, Kika!
Thank you for sharing your journey into parenthood. You're so right; people don't realise how intrusive some questions can be unless they've been in the situation themselves.
Please enjoy every moment as it all goes so quickly! My little one is 8 months old and it seems like only yesterday I found out I was pregnant.
Babies don't stay little for very long, so don't feel guilty about taking time off to focus on yourself, your new baby and becoming a family of 3 ❤ No one will thank you for rushing back to work too quickly.
Sending lots of love and happy vibes xxxx
Huge Congratulations to you and your husband, being a Mother is wonderful, its hard work but so rewarding, I was 36 when my son was born and I was 42 when my daughter came along, enjoy your pregnancy and when baby arrives you will be busy but it will be fantastic, wishing you continued good health as you continue through your pregnancy, sending love from Ireland xxx
Sending love to you both. I can remember so many of those feelings, the tiredness and the queasyness - I had afternoon sickness, rather than morning sickness, but medication helped with that. My son is now 11 and I can remember feeling like I could only take it a little bit at a time with him, just one scan at a time to see how he progressed, as I had a loss both before and after he was born.
I was so tired in the first half of my pregnancy but that passed and then happy hormones kicked in and I felt so happy and energetic. Just give up any preconceived ideas ofhow you should be feeling. Every body is different. SPOIL YOURSELF IS MY MAIN TIP. XXX
you will be a wonderful mom!! enjoy the time of pregnancy and document everything as you do!!! it will be a memory very quickly!!
as a society we dont give enough room to talk about the journey of becoming pregnant and the hardship it can be.
so when we hear someone is pregnant it always feels like: 'surprise!', and too often we don't understand the way someone had to take to get there.
Love your new cable knit. It’s beautiful. Enjoy your time, it all goes by so quickly.
Thank you for your beautiful video and that you share your experiences and feelings with us. I became pregnant when I was 38 and it was the only and last chance to become pregnant. My partner lived in Thailand while I was living in Germany. But it worked well and now our son is 6 already. I remember all the feelings and fear but be sure you will be a great mom. ❤
