You two have great heads on your shoulders. It's really refreshing to hear you say that you're willing to try things, but also recognize that things might not work out. I think a lot more people need to have that attitude. Thanks for another video! I always enjoy them :)
I just love your approach. You have things you want to try but aren't so attached to them that you'll feel disappointed if things go a different way. It seems like people who go into delivery with a plan set in stone end up being disappointed. Feel better! I had a few bad bloody noses with my son. You're on the home stretch!
I've been getting so excited every time you have a new video! You guys are so sweet, and I'm so excited to see little Jackson in just a few weeks! Congrats you guys! ❤️
Loved this video! So amazing that you guys lets us follow you on your big journey and little miracle! :) I'm a 24 year old girl from Sweden that really wants a baby but my man isn't ready yet and I'm still in nursing school.. But I love to follow your pregnacy! :) Such a wonderful thing! Thank you Ellie, Jared and baby Jackson!
Hi Ellie & Jared! My husband and I are loving your channel! We are TTC , and I have PCOS also... watching you guys has taken away some of the sadness and turn it to hope , we have a infertility doc app on DEC 09, i am trying to convince my husband to film our journey and he is warming up to the idea since i showed him y'all channel! yay!
Bengay works awesome to help alleviate headaches. Its the smell of the menthol, best part is it cant hurt the baby. Just rub a little on the back of your neck or even just open the bottle and lay it close enough for you to be able to smell it.
Firstly, Thank you So much for sharing such a personal time of your life with all of us! I feel like I know you :) I have PCOS and my husband and I are trying for a baby but recently gave up for know and Im trying to get heathier. Again thank you and dont stop with the videos! I love watching them :)
Jackson is due on my birthday!!!! It's an awesome day!!! How much older is Jared then you? I know you had your 22 birthday a while back on your videos but on your 'how we met' video he said he is much older then you. Good luck to you guys. I love the videos!
Creating a human being has got to be the most wonderful fascinating thing ever, I hope and pray I get to experience all of this one day, and I pray your delivery goes perfectly! Get to rubbin that belly Jared lol, just kidding I know he's going to be a wonderful dad he's such a good guy! God bless you 3! ;)
I really appreciate your openness in your update. I got a lot of hormonal headaches when pregnant with my now 5-month old son. I would use something cold on my head and warm on my feet. This is what my massage therapist recommended. You may want to try massage therapy too. Hope your feeling better ❤️
I have 5 kids and we have never been to a birth class or had a birth plan. We left it up to the LORD and followed the instruction of the doctor/nurses through FAITH! Every pregnancy is different and everyone handles pain tolerance differently. Follow your heart and you and Jared stay on one accord all will be well. Children are a blessing so just enjoy this time and the rest will fall in line. Many blessings & prayers your way! I am so happy for you & Jared!
You're 33 weeks pregnant with your second baby now!! So crazy! Very cool to be able to see what 33 weeks was with Jackson and what it is now with Calvin.
Hey!! I love your vlog!! I look forward to a new one every Thursday!! You look great!! I was wondering what Jared does for work?? I hope you start feeling better!! I've had 2 my oldest is 9 a boy and my little girl is 7.. I remember those up and down days its so werid cause your so happy but kinda sad lol!! Have a great day!!
I've been following you guys for a long time (when you were pregnant with Calvin). I'm pregnant now with my first and love comparing symptoms. I'm 33 weeks today and have so many of the same symptoms. The headaches are by far my least favorite.
My emotions got like that around 5 months pregnant and kept getting worse. By 6 months pregnant I ended up on meds for depression. Post pardum was hard. Depression got worse dose increased and I felt much better. Just keep an eye on your emotions. But yes very normal to have up and down days. Hang in there!
I love that your the kind of person that is like im planning and hoping this but if it doesn't work out its fine not like if it doesn't work out im going to get mad and your just going with the flow i love it.
Hi Ellie! I was wondering what Jarred does for work? And how you will be able to be a SAHM. I am wanting to stay at home with my 2year old (whose name is Jackson!) but and having trouble finding ways to keep our budget the same and balance so I was wondering if you have any tricks? Thanks! Love your videos and feel as though I'm a part of your family! You are inspiring people and can't wait to see little Jackson!
I'm just re watching old blogs, I find it so funny how Ellie said she could possibly get the itch to have her second child when Jackson is 18 months and he was that age when she had Calvin! How crazy is that?!
Try to drink warm milk for the headaches and it helps you sleep. I do it and it works. The sharp pains are normal. The baby could be laying on something and the baby might be head down putting pressure on you pelvis. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I felt the same way like you at 33 weeks plus still have the sharp pains. I hope you get to feeling better.
Omg you replied back!! Lol :) Your welcome. I don't like taking medicine while pregnant so I find natural ways to help myself feel better. My induce date is December 17 so only 22 day until I will hold my baby girl. I love watching your blog. Also, I will keep you and the baby in my prayers.
As a labor and delivery nurse I agree with the no birth plan plan:) people with birth plans almost always end up with the opposite of what they planned...sooooo... There goes that plan haha. Good luck with your labor process. I'm sure you'll do great!!
Hi Ellie and Jared. This is totally unrelated to the pregnancy, but what video editing software do you guys use? Your into/outro is so cute, and I was just wondering. :)
I think its wonderful you are going into birth and labour not having a plan...I find sometimes that plan can easily be altered and then it xhanges alot...Ifound that happened alot with my first the onky request I had for my second was no induction and thankfully I went into labour on my dd at night...just go with the flow snd trust your body...cant wait to see the bb
I really enjoy your vlogs.......i watch quite a few mommy vloggers and I will tell you them so you can follow them if you want and or don't already follow them......they are amazing vloggers like you........loraandlayton and raising the barrs......they are both great ones! Keep up the good work and enjoy.
First time EVER commenting on a RUclips video...but I just gotta! :) I stumbled across your vids and just love you guys. Love the birth plan, disposals all the way, and lightning crotch at it's finest! haha! Also-I'm a hairdresser as well and have witnessed a co-worker with those pains during a full foil and stuck it out also!! You tough cookies you! :) Hopefully you read thisssss!
hey hun i just wanna say for the video of the birth a suggestion would be to film it no matter what for yall to watch later cuz i didn't with both times i gave birth an now looking back WISH i had done that ..even if u dont put it on youtube film it anyway
also ! lol a contraction if an when you get them it will feel like your belly is getting really really really tight like its squeezing you from the inside and slowly loosens back up an repeats lol when your further along you will have to time them an make sure your not getting them to close together
How was the process of trying to conceive with PCOS once you knew. I have PCOS and want to know what I am in for. What are all those hormones they make you take like?
Breastfeeding!! Don't give yourself the option to formula feed! At 3am when the baby won't take boob and is crying, you will be tempted to formula feed!! Don't!! Babies are gumpy fuzzy Lil monsters :) they won't Leah's be happy but he will nurse when he is hungry!!
Do what you want. Not what the Nurses and Doctors want. They ordered me around the First time, and ended up having a HORRIBLE Birth. Please do what you want.
I meant as far as a birth plan. Doctors know what they are doing and I am not going to tell my Doctor I have a plan and he needs to abide by it. But as far as little things I definitely will be doing what I want and feel best for me and my family for sure. :)
Do you think the headaches might be from all the salon product smells you work around? Definitely take a break to sit down at work if you need it! People will understand. :)
This is my second pregnancy and I don't exactly full blown pee my pants, but I leak. It's the funniest thing, my two year old and husband laugh at me every time and think it's probably the best thing ever at this point haha.
When you do disposeable diapers- are you going to go with the name brands, or go with something from The Honest Company? Ive used The Honest Company products and LOVE them!!!
Ellie and Jared It was founded by Jessica Alba. Its nothing like Huggies or Luvs. They have products that are completely non-toxic. Products from diapers and wipes, to even household cleaning products. You can also bundle products to save more $. They are eco-friendly, ultra absorbent & free of lotions, fragrances & latex. You can also choose your patterns. You need to check it out!! Ps- I LOVE watching you guys!!!!
Ellie and Jared You should totally check out the Honest Company diapers. They are completely organic and eco-friendly. They don't have that weird fragrance like huggies or pampers which is SO nice. They are a bit expensive but I think it's worth it. They come in such cute patterns for boys too :)
I love how you're not putting a definite answer for some of the questions. I hate seeing people get disappointed because they got their hopes too high.
I have peed in my pants so many times this pregnancy. This is my second pregnancy and my first one I never peed in my pants but now if I sneeze cough or laugh to hard then yes I will pee in my pants and my husband laughs at me every time lol
Thank you for clarifying. :) I am not to picky. I do have a Costco card so I will most likely be buying them from Costco and using the brands they have there. I have some huggies also in his closet. My 4 sisters all love huggies, or luvs. So I am sure I will be using them as well.
You two have great heads on your shoulders. It's really refreshing to hear you say that you're willing to try things, but also recognize that things might not work out. I think a lot more people need to have that attitude. Thanks for another video! I always enjoy them :)
It's so wonderful that you're calm and collected, and not stressing too much about everything!
I just love your approach. You have things you want to try but aren't so attached to them that you'll feel disappointed if things go a different way. It seems like people who go into delivery with a plan set in stone end up being disappointed.
Feel better! I had a few bad bloody noses with my son. You're on the home stretch!
I've been getting so excited every time you have a new video! You guys are so sweet, and I'm so excited to see little Jackson in just a few weeks! Congrats you guys! ❤️
Yay your almost there!! Only a few more weeks! Best wishes!
Hey Ellie! So glad that you are continuing with the vlogs! Will you give Jackson a security blanket?
You are the cutest freaking thing Ellie!!! You always put a smile on my face!
Loved this video! So amazing that you guys lets us follow you on your big journey and little miracle! :) I'm a 24 year old girl from Sweden that really wants a baby but my man isn't ready yet and I'm still in nursing school..

I will try the milk! Thank you so much. He is head down so I am sure it's the pressure then. Good luck, you only have a few weeks left!
Omg you replied back!! Lol :) Your welcome. I don't like taking medicine while pregnant so I find natural ways to help myself feel better. My induce date is December 17 so only 22 day until I will hold my baby girl. I love watching your blog. Also, I will keep you and the baby in my prayers.
Organic refined coconut oil works wonders on the skin or baby oil! Try it.
You look gorgeous..... I hope your headaches go away.... I always had the worst ones throughout my 2nd pregnancy
i am really enjoying being a stay at home mom! I am a cosmetologist as well...
bwhahaha! "consider it done!" I love how Jared puts in those little comments
As a labor and delivery nurse I agree with the no birth plan plan:) people with birth plans almost always end up with the opposite of what they planned...sooooo... There goes that plan haha. Good luck with your labor process. I'm sure you'll do great!!
Those sharp pains hurt so badly but they're totally normal. They're nicknamed "lightning crotch" which explains it pretty well!
hahaha You Made My Day! Jared is going to die when ever I yell "lightning crotch" It explains it perfectly!
totally unrelated - but i think its funny how youtube are running ads for stein eriksen lodge right after you went there for your anniversary!
Do you feel that the pregnancy has changed your relationship in any way? Love you guys! Feel better Ellie.
It really has made us stronger. We are so excited for the next chapter in our lives and couldn't be happier. :)
Thank you for responding! :)
Hi Ellie and Jared. This is totally unrelated to the pregnancy, but what video editing software do you guys use? Your into/outro is so cute, and I was just wondering. :)
I use Final Cut Pro X to edit the vlogs. The intro was made using Adobe After Effects, and the outro was made with photoshop. =)
Jared
Lol, I love your birth plan! That's what my birth plan was and it turned out perfectly :o) Thanks for answering everyone's questions!
I think its wonderful you are going into birth and labour not having a plan...I find sometimes that plan can easily be altered and then it xhanges alot...Ifound that happened alot with my first the onky request I had for my second was no induction and thankfully I went into labour on my dd at night...just go with the flow snd trust your body...cant wait to see the bb
I really enjoy your vlogs.......i watch quite a few mommy vloggers and I will tell you them so you can follow them if you want and or don't already follow them......they are amazing vloggers like you........loraandlayton and raising the barrs......they are both great ones! Keep up the good work and enjoy.
the pains from braxton hicks, ligament pain and dehydration drink a liter of water.. and your not the only one that has that pain
First time EVER commenting on a RUclips video...but I just gotta! :) I stumbled across your vids and just love you guys. Love the birth plan, disposals all the way, and lightning crotch at it's finest! haha! Also-I'm a hairdresser as well and have witnessed a co-worker with those pains during a full foil and stuck it out also!! You tough cookies you! :) Hopefully you read thisssss!
Oh you are so nice to comment. Thank you! I love that we can relate!
hey hun i just wanna say for the video of the birth a suggestion would be to film it no matter what for yall to watch later cuz i didn't with both times i gave birth an now looking back WISH i had done that ..even if u dont put it on youtube film it anyway
You are so sweet and beautiful. I just love your videos so much! They're the best
will you do a video to show us your car seat and stroller that you picked out, or when you pick it out.
I didn't have a plan or birth class either, lol. It went wonderfully for us. :)
also ! lol a contraction if an when you get them it will feel like your belly is getting really really really tight like its squeezing you from the inside and slowly loosens back up an repeats lol when your further along you will have to time them an make sure your not getting them to close together
Where did you get your top/sweater?? So cute!
How was the process of trying to conceive with PCOS once you knew. I have PCOS and want to know what I am in for. What are all those hormones they make you take like?

Yep, it's your body preparing for the baby. Hurts a lot
Could you do a video on the makeup you use you look so pretty what do you use everyday
How does PCOS affect your pregnancy? How was tryi
Will you be filming Jackson?
Is there anything special you have to do or take because of the PCOS?
Hi Ellie, why didn't you want to do a birth class?
Do what you want. Not what the Nurses and Doctors want. They ordered me around the First time, and ended up having a HORRIBLE Birth. Please do what you want.
I meant as far as a birth plan. Doctors know what they are doing and I am not going to tell my Doctor I have a plan and he needs to abide by it. But as far as little things I definitely will be doing what I want and feel best for me and my family for sure. :)
Has the baby ever kicked really hard while you were talking to someone? What did you do? And does it also respond to belly rubs?
He does respond to belly rubs. :) When he kicks while talking to people I try and ignore it that or I end up with a big smile on my face.
Sounds like round ligament pain. I hope your stomach gets feeling better!
Do you think the headaches might be from all the salon product smells you work around? Definitely take a break to sit down at work if you need it! People will understand. :)
Did you decide on blue or beige curtains?
im due same day how are you only 33 weeks or do you post a week late?
January 9th that's my birthday! Birthday Buddies....Hopefully:)
Ellie can you do a feeding vidio so I can see what formula you give to your baby
Are you going to daily vlog?
This is my second pregnancy and I don't exactly full blown pee my pants, but I leak. It's the funniest thing, my two year old and husband laugh at me every time and think it's probably the best thing ever at this point haha.
When you do disposeable diapers- are you going to go with the name brands, or go with something from The Honest Company? Ive used The Honest Company products and LOVE them!!!
oh explain more about the Honest Company? I haven't heard of that. Is that like name brands like Huggies and Luvs? I would love to hear more about it.

Thank you for clarifying. :) I am not to picky. I do have a Costco card so I will most likely be buying them from Costco and using the brands they have there. I have some huggies also in his closet. My 4 sisters all love huggies, or luvs. So I am sure I will be using them as well.
