Please don’t feel like you don’t belong on RUclips or that you need to do anything big/crazy to keep us here. For me, I love simple channels that show the beauty of everyday domesticity - the ups, the downs, the chaos. It’s like putting on a comfy cardigan - so comforting and pleasurable to watch everyday family life. And so much more relatable! I’ve gone off the big channels that feel fake - I just can’t relate to them.
I’ve missed your videos so much! I appreciate the realness and honesty you show in your vlogs. Please don’t give up or get lost in the momlife hustle. Like you, I did IVF in my 20s (at 24) for my first baby, FET for my second. I’m turning 30 this year and I feel like a different person. I can’t relate to the TTC/infertility community anymore, I’m not planning on baby #3 for the next 2 years. I’m really just focused on working, losing baby weight and being the best Mom to my two girls. I think there are others who can relate to us and maybe the future of this channel can incorporate this phase of life after TTC/infertility/pregnancy/postpartum.
I so appreciate what you’re saying! I used to watch heaps of channels - Elle & Jarred, The Soconney-Jolys (however you spell it) etc. I’ve unsubscribed to most channels like that now, because although they seem like nice people, everything is about money (new cars, fancy holidays, endless new amounts of clothing and accessories). It’s not that they don’t deserve it, or haven’t earned it, it just makes them unrelateable for everyday folks like us. Channels like yours, where you just keep things real (& “boring” lol) are a breath of fresh air nowadays.
The sad thing, is that channels just showing regular day things and not doing stunts, is what a decent number of us want, yet they are the channels that feel like they don't belong here any more and they leave. I LOVE 'smaller' channels. My day isnt filled with adventures and stunts and I don't enjoy watching channels that create that for views. I want to see people doing regular stuff. I watch channels of people that I like and watching their videos is like catching up with a friend. Please never feel like you don't belong. We need MORE people like you, not less.xx
What I love most about your channel is that you're not a gimmicky channel like everyone else. I have been watching your family change and grow since right before you got pregnant with pancake. Please don't stop posting videos. P.s... I have PCOS and weight struggles too. A low carb, high protein diet (keto) works the best to lose weight for me. I can eat a 1,000 calorie diet and still not lose weight if it has too many carbs in it. It's so frustrating. The struggle is real!
Im a nz mum of now 3 sons I found your channel when we were going to go through ivf for my now 2.5 year old son. We ended up conceiving him and his 4 weeks old brother naturally. I can't wait to see your videos even though few and far between now. I have a little channel and use to work hard doing intros and music etc.. but yes RUclips changed.
Oh honey, I found your channel when I was doing my first round of IVF 6 years ago and was thinking "maybe I could do this myself one day". Life then hit a curve ball, as it does, but the inspiration was still there and Hubby and I finally launched this year. RUclips is so many things and one of them is the small, family vlog channels, that reach and inspire globally. A Swede in the UK spends hours watching the life of a woman in New Zealand because you are so easy to relate to. Welcome back!
I love how real your channel is. I may not watch every video but I know when I watch your videos I know what I’m getting is 100% you and not adds or crazy adventures. I started watching you after Roman was born because I didn’t know anyone else PCOS and your videos helped me a lot.
Nicole, I have been here since you were trying for Mila Rose. You helped me so much when I was starting ivf, you were truly a life saver. I didn't know anyone who was going through ivf, but watching your videos from your journey with Roman made me feel like I wasn't alone. I have always appreciated how honest and real you are. I hate the RUclipsrs that are only here for the money and the fame. That is not what youtube is, for me. For me youtube was/and still is a place where I could find a community of people who are going through what I am going through in life. I hope you will continue to update on youtube whenever you feel you have the time. It doesn't have to be shiny and glittery, I much rather watch your real life, when and if you feel like it. Much love from Norway 🇳🇴
I have been watching your channel since your pregnancy with Roman (man time has flown by). I enjoy your videos cause they are real, not click bait stuff like some other youtubers!! We have certainly missed your videos 🙌🏻🙌🏻
You do belong on RUclips, in fact you are one of the rare channels that I want to watch every video. Because you’re real and you’re authentic and the big channels just seem superficial. Keep doing you!! ❤️
You just described EXACTLY how I’m about RUclips. I feel like it’s turned into a popularity contest of who can go on the best vacations or do the most outrageous things. I don’t even know where my channels fits anymore. BUT I’m so happy you made this update. You’ve always been one of my all time favorites and I love hearing from you. 💗💗💗
I feel the same way about RUclips. A tip though is that all the renovations your talking about, people are really interested in stuff like that. Just small updates about those things could make a decent video idea!!!!
Original subscriber here, I don’t watch half as much RUclips as I used to but I always enjoy your videos. Especially loving your baking channel, inspiring me to make things for my sons first birthday soon
IVF Mumma Vlogs exactly and it’s fun! My mum passed away recently and one of my funniest memories are the 90s women’s weekly cakes mum made me each birthday. So I want to start the tradition of making cakes for my son
So glad you still made this video! I joined your channel when you were pregnant with Mika Rose and I was pregnant with my son and immediately felt connected with you and couldn’t wait for you to post! Still to this day enjoy seeing you and your family no matter how long it takes for a new video to be posted. Please keep being you, it’s the whole reason why I joined and am still a follower. 😊
I love your videos! I can’t stand the fake and scripted and crazy videos. I like watching another mom in daily life and how she handles things. Love watching your family grow. Hang in there. 💗
Like others on here I've followed you for a long time. Loved it when I was struggling with my own infertility battle. Now I have 3 also and love that you guys are real. I've stopped watching alot of RUclipsrs and only regularly watch you and bucketlist family.
I love all your videos!! I originally met and was talking to you on a ttc forum. I love how honest you are. I agree with you that people go way out of there way and spend entirely too much money trying to have great channels and be famous. I hope you and Martin have an amazing time on vavca2tion. As moms and dads er need our own time! It will be hard leaving the kids but worth it. My husband and I went to Disney without the kids for a couple days. It was asking for us!
I really appreciate your decision not to do crazy scripted stuff just to get views. I love that you are true to yourself. I’m an IVf- mom of 3 myself and I can relate to everything you said in this video (I think I need a trip with my hubby too 🙃). Love from Germany
I loved this!! I miss you vlogging! Get back into it because I want to see kindy drop offs and everyday being a mum a of three. It probably helps they are my nephews and niece 😂
I love your videos they are perfect! Just be you! That’s what I subscribed! You give me so many ideas for what to do with my toddler( I’m a first time mom) my baby was conceived by femera and was born 7 weeks early similar to Micha and around the same time! I too bled for months and now have had no cycle for months! Keep up the videos don’t lose heart 🥰 you are an inspiration to me thanks
Never try to be anyone but yourself I’ve followed you since I’ve with Roman and your the most genuine person in here Your I’ve vlogs helped me so so much through my own IVF journey and got me through my darkest time and I will be forever thankful for that x
I totally agree with you that RUclips has turned into a place where people are trying to make themselves famous. I had a channel for a small amount of time just for support with TTC, but now that that time has passed for us I’ve locked my videos. Good to hear a life update from you though.
Hi nicole, I was one of your earlier subscribers. I remember watching you go through your fertility journey and the last time I regularly watched your channel, you had just had mila. Congrats on your 3rd little one! Good to see you still going, and honestly just keep being you and dont feel disheartened. I always think living a boring life is great. Theres routine in that, and it means that nothing bad is happening if things are boring:-) have fun on your holiday x
You do belong on RUclips! Those other channels aren’t watched by me. Your precious family is what I do watch! I’ve been around since Mila Roses’ pregnancy. I love your family dynamics!
youtube has changed and it sucks! if youve filmed any house reno stuff, please share it. i loved the kids room styling videos. QandA’s with the kids, how you organise your home, day in the lifes, anything really is good. its nice to see real life, especially from a nzer.
Hey Nicole I also have Pcos and the only thing I’ve found to help is The keto diet. I lost 15kgs in 4 months. I would definitely look into it if I were you! I’m so glad I did it!
I HATE those 100mph crazy families lol they just aren’t real and they all change. Is pure greed. I love your channel, it’s normal and that’s what lots of us really like.
Missed you. 😍 And it's Mila-Rose's birthday next month, the big 5. I will of course be sending her a birthday card. My youngest turns 5 in late June and looking forward to starting school, same school as he her big sister. 😀
It is! She's going to have a beautiful princess party! We have kept all your cards. Micah pulled out the one you sent when I was sick the other day.... he quite good at pulling things out of my drawers lol! You have always been a great supporter - Thank you
@@Theorangebunch Lol my oldest has been having a party at home for the past few years. This year she keeps changing her mind on where she wants it and the theme. I will start planning after June 😀
Couldnt agree more and this was always why I loved your channel, Please come back!! I loved your channel because it was so real and you never seemed fake like other mum channels All love Brisbane Australia
I like you and your videos and I can totally relate to everything you are saying. We have 3 girls, I would like to have baby #4 but for me it is the best choice not to do it. I am very excited to see what your choice will be in 2020!
Sometimes I wish I would just get pregnant by surprise then the decision is made for me but.......well we all know that won't happen I hate it all has to be so planned and thought out!
I have a weight problem too, my daughter's 2 and abit old and I'm still way way off my pre pregnancy weight😔 can you share what your going to do about your weight I'd love to follow you on that journey 😊
I really don't know :( A lot of people including my Dr have suggested the Keto diet but I know Ill struggle with that.......I have a very strict budget for food and I know making a different meal for me and a different meal fo the rest of the family will be hard.
Sweetie dont feel like that, those type of youtubers actually get me bored and tired of them, i hate ppl that show off everything they do or buy all this youtuber all they do is showoff their trips, new cars, couple and next thing you know they get tired of making daily videos like that and end up announcing that they will only post twice a week

I have unsubscribed from all the channels that have turned so commercial and gimmicky. I like real life. Thanks for sharing.
I love watching your videos those videos give so many women with pcos not to give up and keep trying I would love to see a day in your life
You do belong on RUclips! Those other channels aren’t watched by me. Your precious family is what I do watch! I’ve been around since Mila Roses’ pregnancy. I love your family dynamics!

Hey Nicole I also have Pcos and the only thing I’ve found to help is The keto diet. I lost 15kgs in 4 months. I would definitely look into it if I were you! I’m so glad I did it!
Can you give me an idea of what a typical breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks would be for your day?
Plz do home tour.. pretty plzzz!!! Also do how you clean the whole house.. its so therapeutic for me
I HATE those 100mph crazy families lol they just aren’t real and they all change. Is pure greed. I love your channel, it’s normal and that’s what lots of us really like.
I couldn’t agree more with what you said about RUclips and other youtube celebrities:)
Love that you are real. Love watching your videos. You are awsome and don't give up.

We have 3 girls, I would like to have baby #4 but for me it is the best choice not to do it.
I am very excited to see what your choice will be in 2020!
I am too haha! Id love a peep into the future and see what our choice will be. Something needs to send a sign!!!
Hai there! I'm curious if you decided to go and try for baby #4 or not?
Love to see more sit down videos from you, I miss it!!!
Please share your renovations!
I always watch your videos. Keep posting :)
You should get onto a asleep specialist to help with Micah. Sasha Barrack is amazing. She is based her in the Manawatu.
Oh I'm with ya there we have three as well and idk if I'm done like I have had three c sections so I no I will have another idk it's so hard to know
