0:20

0:25
are going to be just having a fun and exciting but also very busy day in the
0:31
life it has been a while since I picked up the camera to do this type of Vlog Style video um just taking you guys
0:37
along for you know a relaxed and chill Day In The Life just showing you guys what it typically looks like for me as a
0:43
stay-at-home mom a homeschool mom um that's currently pregnant with baby
0:48
number two so I figured I'll go ahead and take you guys along I already have some coffee brewing so I don't know if
0:54
you guys could probably hear that in the background these cinnamon rolls I actually baked those yesterday so I
1:00
still have some cinnamon rolls on the Stu but I've got some coffee brewing um it's 9:00 in the morning which typically
1:08
at 9:00 in the morning I'm probably still in bed either asleep or reading
1:13
I'm not a morning girl during the winter month in the summertime sure I might wake up at 6:00 or 700 in the morning
1:19
and go out in the garden but today I'm already conquering something
1:24
new on my um goal list I want to be a morning a girl but it's just I'm just
1:30
not so today we have to start off our morning at a mom's group that it's been
1:36
a while since I've been to this mom's group um I think the last time that I went probably was about a year ago we
1:43
paused throughout the summer and then in the fall we were on vacation when they started back up and then after that
1:49
winter time came around first trimester of pregnancy and just all of things and all of the excuses and reasons why I
1:55
haven't been able to make it to this mom's group but it is super beneficial Sho when I actually do make it because
2:03
that gives me the opportunity to connect with other moms but I can also take my 4-year-old son with me so that he can
2:10
interact with other children so what we do is we meet up every other Tuesday um
2:16
at our church and we drop our children off in the Sunday School room there's child care in there so that all the
2:22
children have a chance to have a play dat and meets while all of the moms going into a separate meeting room and
2:28
we have like a one hour to 90minut Bible study so we get to get in a little bit
2:33
of God time a little bit of mom time and the kids get out a little bit of energy they get to socialize with each other
2:40
which is a big need for us in our family considering I'm a stay-at-home mom and I do not get out much so I could use some
2:46
socialization but also my son being homeschooled he doesn't have that
2:51
opportunity to interact with kids every single day that does not mean that he lacks socialization opportunities or
2:58
skills um like like a lot of you know myths stayed about homeschool kids it
3:03
just means that he doesn't do so every single day so when given the opportunity it's important that I try to jump on
3:10
that opportunity so today I am going to do just that aside from the every other Tuesday mom groups those in between
3:18
Tuesdays so also every other Tuesday they have a Tuesday play date so
3:24
basically that would give him a chance every Tuesday of the month to go out and
3:29
um play with the other children socialize and interact with them their Sunday school on Sundays where he would
3:36
basically do the same thing so that's two days out of the week that he would get to do so not five but two days is um
3:44
a great start and um once the months get warmer like in May we'll start back up
3:49
his swim lesson so we'll probably do that from May through October I'm
3:54
thinking maybe so he'll be doing that once per week as well with other children so that's three times per week that he can socialize and I think that's
4:01
um going to be great for him so I'm going to go ahead and make myself some coffee then I'm going to go get the little one out of the bed and get him
4:07
dressed so that we are not late to our first mom group in months so let me go
4:13
ahead and do that and then we're going to get loaded up into the car we're only going 5 minutes away so that's great
4:20
this is what I took out for us to eat this morning um yesterday I made I got up and
4:27
like I made breakfast I even baked like I baked these my and we had eggs with it as well I made cinnamon rolls but
4:34
because we have to get out this morning I literally ped out some of these uncrustable peanut butter and jelly
4:40
sandwiches and then some of the leftover chocolate chip muffins that I made yesterday morning and set out his cup so
4:46
he can have some milk so he'll have some milk with his coffee and he'll have a
4:52
muffin in an unrustable and then we'll grab like some fruit on the way out and then for
4:57
me I'm probably going to eat this muffin as well with some
5:28
coffee I love this Togo mug by Ember because it keeps your drinks hot and you can
5:35
actually control how hot you want it to be I typically keep it somewhere around
5:41
here I had to transfer to the too CA because I was just going about my normal daily morning routine which is to make
5:46
me a mug of coffee and then sit down with it at the home school table and sip it while we home school but we're not
5:53
going to do homeschool until we get back today um and we're actually going to have a shorter day because we're going
5:59
to pause on our math so he has a unit 2 test to take today and then we're going
6:05
to pause on math for the rest of the week so that we can complete the rest of
6:10
our language arts curriculum and then next week we'll pick back up on the math
6:15
so that we'll only focus on finishing up unit three of math for the rest of the month so that way we can finish math in
6:21
the next coming weeks and be done with the whole curriculum we are finally dressed and ready to head out the door
6:28
he's eating get some crustable and then we're going to head out the
6:41
door okay I'm going to go turn on the car so it be warm when we get in there
6:48
okay all right so we just made it to the church and we just made it to the mom's
6:55
group SL playay dat so we're g to go in here for a little while and then when we get back out we're just going to make a
7:01
stop at the car wash cuz that's very much needed mom's group was amazing um
7:07
like I said it's always been official to go and I'm super happy that we went so the topic that we've currently been
7:12
studying is finding the hero in our husbands so there's a book on Amazon
7:19
it's like a pink colored book and it's called finding the hero and your husband and it is a great book and so basically
7:25
what we do is we read through the chapters um and then we discuss it and do the questions that's at the end
7:30
that's at the end of the book in the group sessions and you know just talk about the topic in general share with
7:36
one another and give each other Insight support all of that and we also have the
7:42
opportunity to study God's word in relation to that topic so it was really really great today being able to be able
7:49
to share and support and in vulnerability with other women who are
7:56
similar to myself I mean we literally talked about coffee for at least 30 minutes one thing
8:03
that all of us moms or at least most of us had in common um like just a lot of
8:09
things that we talk about it's just great to be able to have that group to go to to have other people who you have
8:17
things in common with because outside of that group and outside of church I don't typically have a whole lot of friends
8:23
that I feel like I have a lot in relation to a lot of them are childhood friends and we you know know in
8:29
different ways like we still know each other we still talk and connect and things like that but
8:35
not in ways that may be similar you know so like I may have friends that are not
8:42
married or friends that are married that don't have kids or even some that are married and have kids but we just still
8:49
don't have like the same type of Lifestyle like they may not be a stay at home M I don't have that connection naturally with any of my friends so
8:56
being able to have that there is really really great and it felt good to be back it really did and I'm really glad that I
9:02
went back so now we have about a good hour and a half tops before we have to
9:07
leave the house to head to the ultrasound so we're going to send about a good 30 to 45 minutes on homeschool
9:14
because he has a math test to take today um and then maybe we will read a book
9:19
and then have a little bit of lunch unless we grab something on the way we have a 20 we Anatomy scan today to go
9:26
check on baby girl and see how she is doing and Noah is super decided to go and see his sister on the computer
9:33
screen today he has been asking about it driving me crazy he remembered when today I told him it was Tuesday he was
9:38
like oh good so we get to go to the doctor so he's been waiting for that so we're going to do some math first right
9:44
yeah so that we can um get to the doctor put your left arm in the air and your
9:51
right arm in the air good so now tell me how many triangles are there I'm fy2 two
9:59
yeah how many ovals two two ovals how many
10:06
circles two how many rectangles one and how many
10:12
squares one okay turn around in your chair please okay now let's get your
10:18
white board can you write the number
10:28
20
10:34
okay now I want you a big oh big zero can you write 10 tally
10:53
marks cross good that's 10 now can you count
10:59
count from 80 to 100 starting at 80 80 to 100 so start from 80 and count to 1
11:07
82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89
11:14
93 94 9
11:19
599 why you com so fast okay now tell me the days of the week starting from
11:27

11:43
80 90 100 count backwards count down from 10 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 okay now
11:54
listen to what I'm going to say even numbers in with zero 2 2 4 68 say zero
12:02
Zer 2 4 2 4 68 68 which one of these is an even number two h two okay good so
12:12
where's your pencil Circle the two good find it and tell me if it's in
12:19
first second or fourth which place is that it's a fourth fourth good so Circle
12:28
fourth
12:34
Now find this little dragonfly and tell me if it's in third fifth or
12:45
fourth good third um this is additional practice so
12:50
you don't have to do that cuz you did it fine up here now we're going to move on to place value so with place value I
12:56
want you to look at the tens and the ones in cir Circle which is the correct
13:01
number 10 and three so 10 + 3 is 13 so
13:06

14:02
the paper not the clock don't touch show me
14:08
6:00 almost
14:18
mhm can you do the math problems now mhm okay let's see 3 + three I already know
14:25
you already know okay okay next one
14:33
10 mhm was 4+
14:43
two those I still know you know mhm okay
14:50
very good and the last
14:57
one mhm and let me see all done so that pretty
15:03
much summed up our unit to assessment basically we just went over or Revisited all the concepts that we learned in unit
15:10
2 so for unit 2 we were doing addition up to five counting by 10 counting to
15:17
110 equal and not equal identifying numbers 0 through 100 and 110 months of
15:25
the year um pattern blocks place value right and left story problems and
15:31
telling time so everything that was in the assessment was basically everything that he needs to be mastered before we
15:37
go through unit 3 anything that I just said that we did in unit 2 that wasn't on the test are basically Concepts that
15:43
we are going to continue learning throughout unit 3 or maybe even in the
15:48
first grade curriculum but the things that we just did are things that he needed to have mastered for unit three
15:54
we will be doing 2D and 3D shapes addition up 25 comparing numbers
16:00
comparing volume counting backwards from 20 counting by twos counting by fives
16:06
dividing in half doubles addition even and odd more graphing because we did
16:11
some graphing in unit to by the a yeah we're going to be doing heavier or lighter counting by the eight counting
16:18
by eight eight is his favorite number we're going to be making tens measuring
16:24
in cenm measuring in inches more than less than ordering numbers pennies nickel and dimes Seasons subtraction up
16:33
to 10 and symmetry so that's everything that we're going to begin learning all the new Concepts in unit 3 in the next
16:39
30 lessons some of the concepts are meant to be mastered and then some of them are just meant to be introduced and
16:46
taught which will be continued on through the first grade curriculum so now we're just going to read a book
16:51
because no matter what we're doing in our homes school day like no matter how many lessons we're doing what lessons we're doing what subject or topic we're
16:58
doing we all always always read a book um because reading is something that you
17:04
just get better at with repetition and it's a lot to you know to grasp and learn so we're always always always
17:10
going to read so we're going to read a book and then it is 1212 so we only
17:17
spent 20 minutes on um math and we'll probably still have a good amount of
17:22
time before we have to leave I said we had like an hour and a half and we'll be done reading this book within the next
17:28
10 minutes and still have a good hour left so we eat some lunch and then see
17:33
how much time we have before we need to head out for the ultra sound we're doing the my first nature Reader book by the
17:41
good and the Beautiful it just has like a lot I think 20 short stories in it
17:46
that follows along with the language arts curriculum and the concepts that we're learning all right let's read um
17:54
I'm proud of you with your test that is what we reading we're practicing the CH
18:00
what does the CH say okay let's
18:06
read a fish F fish
18:11
has fun very go he has his
18:18
rush it is a bush
18:24
of nuts it is a bunch of nuts it's a bunch of nuts that's the very lunch he
18:31
pitch mm it at the m m and
18:37
he a he Texs at the m and he gets a bug
18:48
yeah ones yep he sits on the branch thank you
18:54
for the breakfast or the lunch I [Music] mean a lot of
19:00
money lunches and dinners I have coffee the mocha cookie
19:06
frappe with almond milk from Starbucks and sausage egg and cheese CH muffin
19:11
from Starbucks so this is going to be my lunch thank the good Lord because I
19:17
needed this so something happened between the time that I was eating lunch
19:22
and now where now I am extremely exhausted I'm so sleep sleepy and I feel
19:30
like I ran a whole 12-hour Marathon all of a sudden it's only been maybe an hour
19:37
that is going past since I had energy and then now I don't but I think I'm
19:42
going to try and take a nap we got like a 40 minute drive to get to our appointment that begins in 20 minutes
19:49
and there's that we're late so hopefully everything goes well I prayed about it this morning and
19:57
then I put it my braids are sticking up your braids are sticking up that's
20:04
okay um I prayed about it and then put it on like the prayer request for today
20:09
at the mom's group just something you want prayer for today so I knew we had like the anatomy scan coming up and I
20:16
want all good news hoping that everything is good baby is developing fine so that was something that I put in
20:23
the prayer request group and now I just need to pray they just let us in because be going to be late so hopefully
20:31
everything goes well I also have this 30 oz bottle or tumbler of water with
20:38
liquid IV in because they tell you before going to the anatomy scan to have a full bladder which is
20:46
very annoying because it's like when you're pregnant you already have to go to the restroom a thousand times a day
20:53
and then they say come with the full bladder and then they pull out the little Ultras sign wand to press on your
21:01
belly and so this is going to be pretty uncomfortable in the past with Noah I
21:07
completely failed I did not drink as much water as I was supposed to they could not get the Imaging so we had to
21:12
do the um Ultrasound with the wine what do they call it basically they can't get
21:20
it from the belly so they have to put the wine uh inside so the goal is to
21:28
drink my water this time and I don't even think I'm drinking a quarter of it so far but like I said we still got 30
21:34
more minutes to go so CJ with my husband who you guys never really get to see often inside of the Vlogs so would you
21:42
like to introduce
21:49
yourself and that's why you guys never see him in the Vlog no I'm just
21:54
kidding I said hello are you excited for the anatomy scin I'm so excited yeah I'm so
22:03
excited my sister you so excited for your sister yeah so no has his doctor
22:09
kit in his lap because I told him that when we go he can see the baby on the screen and he can listen to her
22:16
heartbeat so he brought his own doctor kit because he said he's going to use his doctor kit to listen to a baby's
22:22
heart like it has like the little place that the little place that the scope in there and everything so since we're going to a doctor Bob Ke Side Ed to
22:28
bring his own thing so I guess he's going to do things his own way okay so new day new
22:35
outfit new plans they cancelled our appointment because we were late so I
22:40
had a feeling that they were going to cancel it but luckily we were blessed to get another appointment for the very next day which was surprising because
22:47
when I originally scheduled that appointment like they were really really booked they had to push the appointment out like say 2 and 1/2 weeks from when I
22:54
tried to originally schedule it so I didn't think that we were going to get any appointment anytime soon so we were
23:01
still you know grateful and just thankful that they were G they gave us an appointment the next day so we're
23:07
trying this again we managed to get out the house on time this time we're going to stop and get some coffee on the way I
23:15
still have my 30 oz of water but I'm sure the coffee is going to give me um like the full belly that they want you
23:21
to have too so Noah's back there and we're trying out a new seat for him so that's why it's like two seats back
23:27
there we're trying out like the um booster seat that has the back only for
23:32
like travel purposes since it's a little bit easier to like carry around and things like that so we're just trying to
23:38
see how he does in it see if he stays you know put in it if we feel like it's safe for him he's over you know like the
23:45
weight requirements and things like that but he's still within the weight requirements for his normal car seat too it could kind of you know go both ways
23:51
so if that works for him that's going to be like our travel car seat so like even though we did end up having to
23:57
reschedule that apartment yesterday which was a bummer we really did make the most of our day yesterday which we
24:03
kind of needed yesterday we had like near 70° weather and it's been a while since we had like near 70° weather so
24:09
that was amazing but also after we left the doctor's office we had a little froo
24:16
day and got frozen yogurt and sat on like the patio area by the water then afterwards we were hungry so it was
24:23
backwards we should have got food first but we went and got we went to Mo's which is place place near us they have
24:29
the best burritos like the kudoba style burritos amazing burritos I they are so
24:35
good I'm sorry it is loud my husband left his window roll down while he was grabbing the coffee we ate and then Noah
24:42
and I cuddled up on the sofa and took a nap Meanwhile my husband was looking up new dishwashers so that was exciting for
24:49
me cuz I'm super excited to get a new dishwasher
24:57
delicious
25:02
[Music] so I asked my husband in the Vlogs to
25:08
smile but he's like making it so
25:16
weird I just didn't want you know to like look all serious of type in the
25:22
videos cuz that's not the type of person he is so I don't know he's being a
25:27
little awkward um okay we have our coffee and we're on
25:33
the way no you hope we both don't go potty again
25:38
M we both don't go party no was very much upset with yes
25:46
with us yesterday when we were late like we were in the car and my husband was like see you made us late and I'm like
25:51
no you made us late we're just going back and forth about it like not arguing about it just you know going back and
25:58
forth playfully and then Noah in the backseat was like both of you did both of you did it both of you made us late
26:05
and now I can't see my sister so I felt so bad but we explain to him don't worry
26:10
we'll go back again tomorrow but this morning he didn't want to eat breakfast he didn't want a cake pop he didn't want
26:17
nothing he's just like no no stops no nothing we have to go or we going to be
26:22
late so we're going to get him to this appointment so he can see his sister
26:28
okay so there's the baby
26:35
girl this very nice of her to like let us see
26:40
it really funny looking she'll look better right oh yeah
26:46
it me better it already looks fine okay so we made it in time and we
26:54
were able to do the anatomy scan and see baby baby girl everything went really
26:59
well I was super happy to hear um that she was developing just fine weight was
27:05
fine organs spraying all the good things are really good she is still bottom down breach but she's also still very very
27:13
active like she was moving and dancing around a lot she flipped a few times so
27:19
I'm not worried about the bottom down she told me that they don't quite really worry about that until like 35 weeks
27:25
when space is tight and if they are breached then they might have a hard
27:31
time you know flipping head down so it was a really cool experience Noah also got a chance to use his doctor kit like
27:38
he wanted to he was asking all of the questions even ask the doctor can she take the baby out today but um we got um
27:48
some nice pictures so she gave us some pictures here 20 weeks and 6 days it was
27:54
fun and it went well so today now we actually have to do a fil orientation for the birthing center that we're going
28:01
to be having the baby at we did the orientation in person with Noah but that
28:06
was like 5 years ago so this one is virtual so once we get home then we just
28:12
have to log in turn on the camera and then they're going to show us like a virtual tour and tell us like everything
28:18
anything new that we don't know yet they're going to have us like fill out some paperwork that we have to submit to
28:24
them so that when we do go in labor they'll have all our paperwork on on file and things like that show us what
28:30
the rooms look like the updated versions of the birthing center and you know all that cool stuff so we had to do that at
28:38
uh 6:00 I think and we still have a bit of time right now it's like 3:00 so it
28:43
really didn't take a long time for us at all about an hour at the most but it really didn't feel like an hour it went
28:51
by pretty quickly 20we Anatomy scale was really really cool really fun so for
28:57
lunch we had Chick-fil-A and frozen yogurt and went to Best Buy to pick out a dishwasher and a microwave so that's
29:05
exciting but now it's 5:50 so I got to get log in for the orientation luckily
29:10
they're going to let me keep my camera on mute because my dog is barking and my
29:16
kid is playing very loudly um CJ was going to go to work but he's so sweet
29:22
that he pushed back his work today to do the orientation with me so I'm happy to
29:28
have him here with me so right now I'm just like getting logged in on the laptop it starts in about 10 minutes so
29:34
we're logged in and we're ready to go welcome welcome everyone um my name is
29:40
Jesse I am one of the nurses in the ABC I also have two ABC babies and this
29:48
one is trying to make an appearance um Scott is three uh he was my first abc
29:54
baby and then I have an eight-month old old and
29:59
she's Less Mobile but um she may need to make an appearance to um eat at some
30:06
point so you might see her as well in the bottom right hand corner of the screen is a doorway to the family Lounge
30:14
this is our kitchenet area we have a microwave we have a teac kettle uh we
30:19
have the famous Hospital ice machine and a little sitting area as well for
30:24
family and in every room we have a salt lamp uh we have an essential oils
30:31
diffuser we do have four different essential oils that we can put in there for you uh we have every room has a nice
30:38
big tub um let's see a mini fridge is in every room we have our own special abc
30:44
baby cribs uh the panda warmer that's what we refer to our neonatal our
30:51
newborn warmer with all the Emergency Equipment on it uh we do have towel warmers every room has a nice big queen
30:58
bed like this and just behind or on the other side of the bed you can see the top of a white and blue box that's our
31:04
blanket warmer and baby blanket warmer there's a cabinet stocked full of linen
31:10
a nice big jacuzzi tub this one has jets in this picture you can see our
31:15
nice big sleeper chair that Panda warmer this is room 329 it is our
31:21
largest room so if you are going to have H multiple visitors uh this might be
31:28
your room of choice this is an actual labor tub and it gets you can get very
31:33
very deep in this tub it has doors around the side so we would fill the tub up part part of the way get you in put
31:41
the door on and fill the water the rest of the way up so you can get almost you know up to your shoulders reclining in
31:48
this tub we finished our orientation and that was pretty cool the orientation is
31:55
like a requirement whenever you go to the brething censor so that you know what to expect so the birthing sensor
32:01
that we're going to is like attached to um the hospital that has like the regular labor in um
32:09
delivery department or section of the hospital but it's different because they
32:14
have like their own way of doing things they do not offer any medical interventions so basically if you were
32:21
to decide halfway through Labor that you want to get an epidural or that you want some sort of medical pain relief or you
32:29
need any typee of medical intervention like C-section or anything like that then you would have to be transferred to
32:35
the other side of the hospital which um because it's attached to the hospital
32:41
you will be able to be easily and quickly transferred over but they wouldn't be able to administer that in
32:46
the actual birthing center um it's supposed to be more comfortable and kind of resemble like a home birth so that's
32:53
why they have like the queensize beds um your own private bathroom recliner
32:59
essential oils fridge um Jacuzzi hot tubs and things like that they don't
33:05
tell you where to labor at how to labor where to give birth they will still monitor you and help you progress and be
33:11
with you along the way and when it's time for you to have the baby then you can have either a midwife or your own OB
33:18
come to deliver the baby there with you it's just a way to experience the home birth without
33:24
necessarily being at home but still have that same Comfort but still have like help from midwives and things like that
33:33
so um we did that with Noah and it was a really great experience once we had
33:38
finally made it to the birthing center we labored for about 5 hours before we
33:43
gave birth to him they didn't restrict us from eating anything from drinking anything um you know none of that and
33:51
you got to move around freely as much as you wanted to I began like in a recliner
33:57
chair and then I think I began laboring on the birthing ball then I moved to the
34:03
shower in like straddle position on like a a shower chair um and most of my
34:08
laboring was done in the shower with like a handheld shower hat that my husband would like hold and spray around
34:14
my back and stomach depending on where the contractions were um and then when I
34:20
started to feel like the pressure was like so so much that I couldn't sit on the straddle chair anymore because the
34:26
pressure was too much we moved to the um the Jacuzzi hot tub
34:33
but only got to stay in there a few minutes before it was time to labor so that pressure that I was experiencing in
34:39
the shower was actually the pressure of the baby ready to come out so that was
34:46
why it felt like I couldn't you know sit anymore um so she was like We'll try the
34:51
hot tub and then when I was like okay this is not working she was like okay well let's check your cervix and then
34:57
she was like oh okay it's time it was me and my husband um my mother and sister so my
35:03
mother and sister were kind of like in and out of the room um for the most part
35:08
but they were helpful when my husband um need like a two second break cuz that was all than my husband got he was very
35:15
very active in the labor as far as like walking with me back and forth massaging
35:20
my shoulders my back spraying my back and stomach with the water um anything that I needed he was right there so he
35:28
was pretty you know active we were both very tired after the fact um and then
35:34
the next morning we had the pediatrician come in to check the baby they did his circumcision they offered like any other
35:41
the vaccines that they would normally give the newborns to us um the vitamin K I think just you
35:49
know things like that um they did that the very next morning and then we went home the
35:56
following morning so typically they send you home 24 hours after you give birth because the point of it is a
36:02
a home birth experience so if you were having a home birth you would be home with your baby immediately after you
36:08
give birth so because it's supposed to resemble that after they tend to the baby make sure the baby is okay and do
36:15
like the circumcisions and things like that they pretty much send you home so um because we gave birth later in the
36:21
night it was like 8:00 at night opposed to sending us home 24 hours later which would have been 8:00 the following night
36:28
they were like we won't send you home at night we'll send you home the following morning so we went home somewhere
36:34
between um that time frame about 36 hours after birth so um basically it'll
36:41
be the same type of experience for us I will be laboring in my own comfortable clothes my own comfy house shoes um
36:49
bring some essential oils and things like that I'm just hoping that everything goes well um and as well as
36:55
it did with Noah so that was what the birthing center orientation was about
37:00
just telling you what to expect and how to set up for it like things you need to do beforehand like where to walk in
37:08
and all that good stuff but overall um I want to say that there's a vlog and just
37:15
