If you do cloth diapers you might want a top loader. For soaking and draining pre-washing. Get Josh to research dry and wet solutions. For storing the dirty diapers before the wash. Some people soak in vinegar and water and others just store it in a lidded bucket or zippered bag. Don’t do what I did and try to do cloth and disposables and forget about cloth ones. My cloth ones got mouldy 😢. But your idea of the hybrid sounds great. I’ve been a breastfeeding educator and support person for 33 years. Josh can do everything else and you will both find your groove. You are so sensible. New mothers will benefit from listening to how you think of things and how accepting you are and allowing yourself and others to do whatever is right for yourself & them. I so enjoy watching your channels

How could I not be happy, I had just been given the gift of this healthy child. The c section went so smoothly, I had minimal physical pain and recovered beautifully. But that feeling I bottled up festered, it wasn't until I was able to speak about the disappointment openly and have a good cry that I was able to move beyond it. I hope you can continue to lend your granddaughter an ear and allow her to let it out.

I have 1 tip for the garden: when you’re planning the layout, make sure you can fit the width of a baby stroller/wagon of some sort. I’d have Josh look up potential models you’re interested in and might possibly get as baby grows bigger, then plan the layout around the largest measurement to be safe. My mindset…..I saw a guy unable to drive his golf cart thru one day to haul something and now I’m thinking as a mom, if I had my garden I’d love to be able to bring baby out with me, let them sleep in their stroller/wagon all comfy, or go on little walks to help harvest, etc. lots of ways for baby to garden and not have to be worn by mom or set in a playpen. It would just suck to build your dream garden and then have 2 inches make it so baby can’t wheel down the rows with mama.

I read "What to expect when you are expecting" and it answered a lot of questions I had. During my first pregnancy, when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, I couldn't pick out meat from the meat department. so I stood on the cereal aisle while my husband, Darrell, went. Peppermint helped a lot with morning sickness. No morning sickness with my second pregnancy, for my son, and I would have slight nausea with my third pregnancy, with my youngest daughter. I think I was too busy to notice. During the first pregnancy, I couldn't stand the smell of worcestershire sauce. I was shaped like Big Bird when I was pregnant. I had Rachael in 1996, Benjamin in 1998, and Lydia in 2000.

I wasn't really into having all the maternity pictures taken although it wasn't that much of a thing at the time but I have enjoyed seeing how big I really got and what my baby bump look like compared to some other people's I see and also how different people really carry their children depending on their body shape size height all of that.

I have struggled with weight all my life so understand. This is you and Josh’s baby and you need to do what you want and feel is right. I am so happy for you and love your channel. 🇨🇦💕🌷

I too was not able to have children and I felt that people pried when they ask why no children. It is a sensitive subject and women that over share makes me uncomfortable. When I reply to people that I found out at 26 that I was unable to have children then, back surgeries made it difficult to carry a baby...

I too appreciated Becky's honesty; I never had children either and wow- peoples comments were "off the chain" over the years! Thankfully, I'm almost 61 now so people have quit asking me when we are going to start a family! 🤣🤣🤣 I work in a female dominated career, and I've seen a lot; there's always "that one chick" that wants to scare the beejeebers out of a newly pregnant young woman with horror stories of 97 hours of labor with no drugs, tearing, breast soreness for 12 years, etc etc etc, so even though I had no personal experience, I'd often pull the new soon to be mom aside and whisper, "Ignore her; women have had babies for thousands of years. You'll be fine and besides- I'm not busy with my own -so I'll show up and give you a hand any time you need it!" Becky is sooo down to earth- she's gonna do great!

I like kids but I never wanted children either. I later learned I was also barren but thankfully the desire for children never hit me or I would have been devastated. I can't imagine the pain and yearning a woman goes through when she wants a baby and can't have one. My heart breaks for these women. I was also told I was "selfish" and that my husband would leave me if I didn't give him children. My husband told me before he married me that he was okay with no having kids. I didn't pay any attention to these people. God has a different purpose for all of us and He has a plan for me. Not having children isn't a sin or something to be ashamed of.

As a woman who was unable to have children (not by choice), I really appreciate your approach to this video. I am so excited for you and your husband!! You can see how great of a mom you will be just by how you react to the little things that go wrong in our daily lives. When you spill something, you don't fall apart and get angry, you just say "that's okay" and keep going. You will probably be saying that a lot as Baby grows up. Just take things day by day. Don't rush to try and post videos, just enjoy your time with your new baby. We will still be here when you come back. You are also not alone in some of your feelings during your pregnancy. My sister hated her entire pregnancy. Her "morning" sickness lasted through the first 2 trimesters and then she was just miserable the rest of the time. I have been impressed that you have done as much as you have while pregnant (and you look amazing by the way!). You have inspired me with all your food prep and preservation and I have recently made my first batches of low sugar strawberry jam, low sugar blueberry jam and apple butter and water bath canned them all.

There were definitely situations where I needed an advocate and it is very difficult if you are not part of the medical community to do that for yourself. You and Josh are going to great ! Your doula sounds comforting and wise. 💗 You were so brave to share what you did in this video. I hope you just receive kindness and love from your KZitem family afterwards.

It’s best to remember your farm animals. They don’t like to give birth if they feel threatened in any way. It’s pretty similar for humans. And you are so smart. Josh is having his first baby too.

Honestly, that is a fear that EVERY pregnant mom has, when they're pregnant with each child. Because until you get to that moment in your pregnancy, you can't answer it, and NO one can tell you otherwise. Even taking labor prep classes, they can tell you the stages of labor and delivery, but everything is all dependent on what happens and all of that is unforeseeable until you're there in the hospital or wherever. The classes help ease your fear, because you learn the different things to expect, but some may apply and some may not, to your own pregnancy, so it's still an 'unknown' until you get to that moment. That's why I think it's great that Becky is going to have a doula who can act as her knowledgeable advocate on her behalf at that time when she needs one most, to intervene and help her and Josh through it. That's a good decision to help ease her fears.

Thank you for the Q and A .I followed a couple with a small child when they started yourtube.Well many years has passed and the child has become a teenager who probably doesn't like being in front of the camera anymore. And the parents are honoring that.The viewers went nuts when they didn't see her and asked why she wasn't helping on the Homestead. It was getting crazy and intrusive to me.I just wouldn't get people use to seeing your child on a regular basis. Like you said its about cooking,growing and preserving and a few other things.Its kind of creepy when folks get a little to involved in the creator's lives.

It IS okay, Becky! We are all so different, our pregnancies are as well. I had rough pregnancies and births but I loved being pregnant. My sister had pretty "easy" pregnancies and quick births but she did not enjoy any of it. I breast fed, she chose not to. We parent very differently. BUT we both have these amazing littles that we love and adore and that is ALL that matters. 50 people can have the exact same experience and will feel it and react to it in 50 different ways and they are all valid and none are perfect. I hated to see you cry, but know that you are doing GREAT and you will do great. Just the fact that you are so willing to adjust to whatever your baby needs is telling me you are going to be a wonderful mother. God bless you and your little family!

I just found your channel recently and have already watched many videos. I like your channel because I turn 70 this month and grew up with a father who loved gardening and a mom who loved cooking and canning. My husband and I have been married 52 years. I miss our family gathering because both our parents are with the Lord now. So I love seeing you do the things I so loved in my life. I bless you with safety for you and baby and I bless you and your little new baby with the ability to sleep soundly at night. You are already a beautiful and wise mother. I will be keeping you and your family in our prayers.

I would highly recommend rethinking getting professional photos, even just a mini session. There's a huge difference between watching yourself get bigger on a video versus having someone who knows how to make people appear their best with angles and lighting help you remember this unique time in your life. I don't have professional photos from either of my pregnancies, and I do regret it. I only have a couple photos of me from each. As far as cloth diapering, maybe start with disposable for the first month or so because the newborn stage is definitely the part with the most diaper changes. I did disposable for my first kiddo and switched to cloth after a month with my second. Cloth diapers weren't as hard as I thought, in fact, they're pretty easy when you have laundry facilities available. It helps a lot with potty training too. Recommendations for items to have on hand: A few nice outfits in each size (no need for it every day, just for going out) Enough sleepers and onesies for 2 available each day Several flannel swaddle blankets Single layer cloth diapers to use as burp cloths Socks Pack n play (can use as a bed when traveling or at home) A good baby carrier, preferably one that's easy to get on by yourself A nursing pillow (good for nursing, but also great for supporting a swaddled newborn) As much sleep as you can get while in the first 8 weeks at least while your body is going through the first part of healing Lots of self-care items for you All your favorite foods Obviously I didn't include everything, but I think you have a handle on the rest or people to guide you ❤️ Lots of love to you and Josh as you get closer to meeting your little one! I think you've made great decisions to help you feel more relaxed in your pregnancy, labor and delivery, and afterward. You're doing an amazing job already!

I just watched the pregnancy Q & A episode and just wanted to say how much I appreciate your vulnerability. I am a mom in my fifties and I only started watching KZitem this past year. I stumbled upon your Chanel and thoroughly enjoy it mostly due to your personality. I love the fact that you leave the “mistakes” in your episodes which are actually real life events. I appreciate the fact that you are a real person when sometimes KZitem hosts can seem a bit too perfect. I pray that the remainder of your pregnancy goes well and once again I appreciate all that you shared. Women definitely need to hear that others have the same thoughts, fears and concerns that you do and that these are all normal and ok. Best wishes.

Becky, my sister made all of her own 'baby food' as well. She did exactly what you are talking about. She just took whatever they were having and ground it up finely in her food processor and stored 'cubes' of it after freezing it in ice cube trays. When she would travel with the kids, she had to resort to store bought baby food for convenience, but her kids did not like the store bought. There wasn't enough bulk in it and they were constantly hungry. They were always happier with the homemade stuff and at 15 and 17, now have a well developed palate.

I loved making my adult food into kid dinner as my son got older. My favorite thing when my son was little (14 years ago) was finding tiny little alphabet pasta lol I had only ever seen it in premade soup before so finding it plain made me so happy. It was just so cute and I could add whatever to it. Make it Mac and cheese, soup, or just tomato sauce. Those little noodles just made my heart happy. I’m sure there’s many more pasta options nowadays and this seems dumb but I’ll always think fondly of those noodles lol

I love your honesty and realistic approach to your pregnancy. It’s not always pleasant, and you’re right, the good days and bad days do come. God has bless you with a husband that respects and support you. My favorite thing you shared is that it’s been fun watching Josh!! That tells me you are going to be a wonderful mother, your joy comes from watching others’ happiness.
