Dearest MaCenna, We will be here whenever you decide to post after your son comes. Do not worry about us. Only one thing, PLEASE just post a message that baby came, all is ok. We just want to know you're both doing great. ENJOY that precious first few weeks! Say NO to visitors the first few day's. If people cannot understand, oh well. That light is amazing for the kitchen. Use those special candle shaped bulbs, the larger size. Thank you for allowing us to go on your life journey. Do not be quiet around baby! My Mom n Law tried to warn me. I raised 2 quietly, & they're in their mid 40's & are extremely light sleepers! I told them to raise their children with tons of noise. Those 8 grandchildren & 2 greats sleep through anything. Many blessings ❤
I work as a funeral service director. I have been so moved by MaCenna going to these estate sales. These estate sales often happen when there is no family to pass these things on to or the family does not have the capacity for all of the stuff left behind. Seeing the objects that tell the story of someone’s life. How they lived day to day and how they celebrated with good china and decorations. MaCenna is so respectful about being in the home of someone who has passed.
Just a word of caution to all expecting mothers. I didn’t swell either during my recent pregnancy. I didn’t even swell the day of delivery. However, two weeks after having my baby I started to swell a bit and felt really off. My blood pressure skyrocketed and was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia which I didn’t even know could happen after birth. Throughout my pregnancy I actually had LOW blood pressure. I would have never expected that outcome. It was all very scary and I was admitted for a whole week on magnesium sulfate IV treatments. But I am thankful I didn’t dismiss those signs and rushed myself back to the hospital. It literally saved my life. Always check your blood pressures during and after delivery till at least 6 weeks postpartum. Preeclampsia is a serious condition that can take you by surprise.
Fast click! Does anyone else feel like an invested friend of MaCenna's and with every update, be it personal or renovation we're like Click, Click Click!!! 😂 love you girl. So excited for all this fun live things!
Absolutely! And when she said she thought she already had that Bluebird Children's Book, I told her "Yes you do. It was the first book you ever bought for the baby". Then I thought, maybe I am a little too invested. 🤔
MaCenna, in case no one’s mentioned it to you, newborns will sleep through such loud noises for the first month or so. They don’t really “wake up” until after that first month. I can take my newborns to restaurants and enjoy a whole meal and they sleep peacefully through the music, dishes clanking, etc 👌🏻 Might not need to worry about the construction noise unless it’s more for your privacy as you recover
Absolutely!! I raised mine around noise...I tried telling my oldest to do the same, her children have to have dark & quiet....🤷♀️🤷♀️ momma know best 😁
My third boy could sleep through anything. Took him to his brother's baseball games at naptime, and he was conked out in the stroller. Big advocate for strollers that fold down flat.
Yes. The quieter you try and make it the more easily they wake with noise. My niece is 3 months old and sleeps through the loudest get together. Her parents said they never keep her in a quiet room because they wanted her not to be startled at loud noises. Mission accomplished. 😊
even more - kids wake up if there is no noise. I read a theory that if kids hear no noise at all they think they are alone and therefore in danger. And with the voices and noises around it means people are there to protect them. And this was definitely the case with my children.
I'm so happy to see you estate sale and flee market shop often again! Even when you don't buy anything, it helps scratch my shopping addiction itch without me having to spend money, lol!
Lol 😂😂😂 same but also I’m like “oh inspiration!!!!” Write it down for our next trip to buy I literally bought the little delft blue tea cup for my flour canister
I am the 746th viewer ...and not even a minute passed and the viewer already counted 1444 ..!!! Wow!!! I feel proud for you Mcenna. Knowing that you are deeply loved because of the joy you share with us all! 💗💗💗
As much as I want to meet your son, I will miss pregnant MaCenna! You have been glowing with joy and always dressed so tastefully (which in itself is an accomplishment while expecting) I am truly happy for you and all that is coming.♥️
Using a simple calendar like that Cambridge one is perfect for baby milestones. Even if you do a baby book, the calendar is convenient, easy and handy. If it’s in the nursery, you could jot down, “first smile”, “played with toes.” It’s right there and it’s recorded somewhere very easily. You can transfer it over to a baby book if you ever have a minute to yourself. LOL!! We are all so happy and excited for you!
If you put your screen/monitor up (use a 4x4 or a block or brick) about 4-5" higher, you won't have to squinch and hunch. And your shoulders will feel better, even if you weren't aware of any discomfort. I was spending a fortune at the chiropractor because of pain and burning in my shoulders and neck. It worked!
It is an old bavarian service called Baronesse, I guess. The porcelain factory Tirschenreuth belongs to Hutschenreuther. I think you bought salad bowls. You can still buy the service. And: There is not only Baronesse in white. There is Baronesse Estelle in your favorite blue… 😉 Greetings from Bavaria and all the best wishes for your family. Mona
I laughed when you said sometimes I only get 3 things done on my list and I'm done. Well , when you're a mama ... you may get one thing or nothing off the TO DO list. And will consider it a success if you even get a shower! Let the journey begin! I am sending positive vibes that your birth is as wonderful as this pregnancy has been.
Today is my birthday and right now I am feeling super lonely. Your videos always bring me comfort and I am glad I am not so much lonely when I am watching this video. Thank you so much, you have no idea how you touched my life. ❤
I’m sending you love from NYC. I hope you have people that loves you close by. Our world is sometimes lonely. Take a walk & admire the beautiful flowers created for you.
I tried everything to make my baby come out! I did a few wives' tales, jumped off curbs, and finally the last week, I went on a walk in one of those huge stores (think Target or Walmart) and my husband just made me walk and walk. I was so tired! But the moment we got home, my husband had left to go to the hardware store, and the moment he left I lost my plug! So my baby boy was born the next day, July 9th, 1990. My husband at the time was a paramedic and had delivered hundreds of babies. Check the date of publishing on some of those books you picked up. First editions of some of those titles could be worth something. The 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' intrigued me. The color of the first book I would call periwinkle.😉Salivating to see the kitchen cabs! Thanks for sharing. 🥰
I watch your estate sale and flea market videos and I'm practically drooling. We have nothing around where I am. I keep telling my husband that I want to go to the Rose Bowl flea market and he just laughs at me. I can't wait to the see the kitchen and the baby boy! You're going to be such a wonderful mother.
A video!! You make my day full of happiness to see your beautiful face..your baby is gonna be blessed to have you and Romeo as parents…love your videos…how lucky I am that you share your life with us.. I hope we get to see baby boy even if it’s just a teeny tiny glimpse of him for a second..what a fabulous estate sale.. so much I would have bought!!!I will not be surprised to hear baby boy has come!!!!!!
Whoa! That Andersonville book is interesting. It’s likely about the confederate prison in Andersonville, GA during the civil war. My many-great grandfather died there during the civil war! Very cool that you found that book! Also, also! I have three babies and I distinctly remember wishing I could just float from room to room instead of walking. You really do get to a point where just getting up is exhausting! Haha
Your home sounds so soothing with the birds singing and all the trees in the background. I personally like over cast days. Love you girl,from pacific beach,San Diego xo❤
Hi my love, you’re looking amazing. Not long to go, just take care, look after each other. Can’t wait to see baby and how Kinsley reacts to him. Love to you all. Xx
@xomacenna you have no clue, but we are pregnant together and have the same duedate 😍 It is so crazy, i have watched all videos in the past years and to see your pregnancy going as amazing as mine is a blessing ❤️ love that you still upload even in your last weeks it gives me something to watch while being on pregnancy leave
I went 2 weeks overdue, had Braxton Hicks contractions when I went to the hospital, they wanted me to go home, I said NOOOOO. I had a Cancerian because he was so big, took a while to get home 5 days, I was so tired I needed a vacation!!! I pray your experience will be good., God bless you both
Love these little thrifting trips and hauls! Could totally scratch my vintage inspiration itch while you're in the midst of postpartum recovery. Would not complain one bit if this is all we received for a hot minute on YT from you! ❤
I went snowshoeing at 39 weeks trying to get my daughter to be born. Didn’t work 😂 she was over a week late. They arrive when they are ready to be here! Also completely normal to never want to wear your maternity clothes after they are born because you get sick of them ❤
Finding another pillow cover is fate. So interesting. Love to see what you find. You are so radiant. Wish your Mom was here to enjoy all this, but know she will be soon. Prayers for an easy delivery…🙏❣️
I can’t believe you found a match for that pillow! I can’t wait to see the kitchen update. We are getting so close to baby’s arrival! Aaaahhh it’s all so exciting!
MaCenna, just incase no one has mentioned it, it’s a good idea to put a sheet of plastic (or garbage bag) on your car seat, as a precaution against needing to replace the whole seat if your water breaks while you’re sitting on it. (Your mattress just needs a waterproof mattress protector.😊
Dear Ms. MaCenna, I'm sure the little fellow wants to come out and play soon. I can't wait for the kitchen cabinets. The new light for over the sink looks like it will be amazing. One thing that makes me sad is how you have such an enviable library yet you haven't read most pf your amazing collection of books. I highly recommend Lorna Doone it's fantastic! So many other titles that you picked for aesthetics are gems that should be mined for exquisite pleasure. Your little one will be very fortunate for them later in life.
So glad you picked up the Lorna Doone book, thats a good find!! Just can’t wait for your Mum to get there to be with you for the birth of baby boy, she is going to be beside her sift with joy!! Looking forward to seeing a sneak peek of the kitchen on Sunday. Sheena xx
MaCenna my heart smiles so big when I’m notified of a video from you❤❤❤❤❤. I have followed you for several years and watched so many projects from the apartment ( out door chairs) loved for your little patio. The last week of pregnancy was so hard for me I got so tired!!!!!!! And the night before both of my babies ( age 47 and 40) the day before delivery my body just said no more, I was tired and felt like I was coming down with the flu, this may happen to you. My son 40 weighed 10 pounds. I am so excited for you but walking really helped with the labor (they had me walk in the hospital) to help,with the labor. When you are tired listen to your body. I am the happiest when I see your beautiful smile and sweet Texas accent, ( yes it’s there).❤❤❤. I wanted the floral China it looked so sweet
Wow, 47! What was that pregnancy like? Was the labor recovery similar to the one at 40? I ask because I'm 41 and thinking about a 5th baby every now and then since my 4th is 2 now and wondering what to expect in my 40s. Those toddlers are just so cute at that age and make you want another! 😄
Those Havilland plates are French Limoge which are valuable, especially if from the first Limoge plant which ultimately burned down and was rebuilt again afterwards.
What an awesome estate sale! That china! and the books. Great furniture too. What a cool house. The china pieces you got are so pretty and I love the books. That Lorna Doone book is beautiful!
Queen of a good segway into paid sponsors! You actually make me watch and listen! lol you have a way of making it fit into the video and not making it sound like you’re forcing it onto us!
Dear Macenna You can not understand or believe the joy and warm your videos give me in my sad, bad, and happy days .. It is something that I look for all day, and when my kids are finally sleep I just run to my bed and reach my phone and opening youtube knowing that the moment I click on your video the millions of voices in my brain will finally shutdown and I will have a real and solid 30 (or sadly less) minutes of pure happiness ❤ I love you and your videos, may Allah bless your soul❤
Pillow covers you were meant to find and display. Estate sales are my favorite. I'm going to move into a smaller house and will pass on unneeded things. BUT then I can look for more "stuff" I just have to have. 😃
Best wishes for your last days of pregnancy and delivery! Can’t wait to see the kitchen before or after baby boy’s arrival. FYI, the Louisa May Alcott book, Eight Cousins, you saw at the estate sale: great book - also beautiful edition. I have three of her other titles, same edition with the gorgeous cover illustration, that I found at Powell’s bookstore in Portland, OR in 1993. The illustrations inside the book are amazing as well. I wanted to reach through the screen and grab it! May not have been your taste in cover or content but such a gorgeous book! I’m a baby boomer - read those books growing up - many of them multiple times - so they probably don’t have the same appeal to your generation. Love seeing your estate sale finds. I can look and not be tempted to take things home😜.
I've raised 4 kids. If I could have had a house cleaning service the first few months I would have enjoyed the babies more, because I wouldn't have been so exhausted!!! Enjoy the time.
Es ist wirklich schön zu sehen,wie gut Du noch drauf bist,obwohl Du ja schon hoch schwanger bist.Du hast sehr schöne Dinge gekauft auf dem Flohmarkt/ Haushaltsauflösung . Unter anderem 6 Schüssel aus Deutschland ,diese Schüsseln, sind Suppenschalen ,dazu gehören noch Unterteller, ich habe das ganze Geschirr....Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Anja😊
I loved that you found the pillow cover and it matched perfect. I just love when things like that happens when I’m out shopping at thrift stores or yard sales. MaCenna, you look fantastic. I can assure you I didn’t look that good when I was in my last week of pregnancy and I sure didn’t feel that great either. I think I described my last week pregnant as a beached whale. 😂 This was the second baby, the first baby came 6 weeks premature and breech. 🥴 Very excited about seeing that bundle of joy and I can’t wait to see your Mama with him.❤❤❤
I loved the blue chairs, and the ones up stairs also! I love collecting old chairs, wood ones or with upholstery. And all the old books, another love of mine! And you picked up some beautiful ones! I'm so glad you got the Lorna Soon, that was my favorite one.. is beautiful! I told someone earlier i want to try to find seeing if the original books like Lorna Doon, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Gone With The Wind.. just those type. Love the pillow cover too, so pretty and so cool it monarchies your other one! I'm so excited for the next video, ready to get a look at that kitchen😊
I used to own a few vintage cotton tapestry cushions as a teenager that were worn so soft from use they were the most comfortable things ever. I so regret giving them away.
Our daughter - our first baby - was at least three weeks overdue by the doctor's calculations, and I was more than ready to be done with it! Hubby took me riding in his pickup truck. When we bounced over some railroad tracks or potholes, he'd do an exaggerated bounce in his seat and joke about doing something to speed things up! I miss that man. ♥
The two black,Grey chairs at the beginning of the sale were soooo pretty. I definitely love the brass chandelier you bought. The bowls are perfect size for salads, soups, actually everything
Cornflour blue! It has become one of my favorite colors because of you! lol I am so happy you’re still prioritizing things you love to do right up to baby coming and can not wait to see how your content changes once he comes 💙
Those bowls are everything!! When you picked up the first one I wanted them,and I never do that! They are beautiful and you can use them for small serving dishes or souffle bowls, or just a beautiful fruit salad. What a score. And, I saw that piece next to the light when you first showed it. What a strange thing for someone to pick up. Anyway,I pray they find it for you. Time for some rest before baby. You will need it so much.
Oh MaCenna, this was a wonderful video, I am so excited for you both to have this beautiful baby boy and I believe you are going to be wonderful parents. I am so happy that you are feeling good and all babies decide when they are ready to come into the world some come early and some come later and some come right on time. Both of my children came 1 week early and I had great pregnancies, not hard at all. I am also so excited to see the progress on your beautiful kitchen and how it will be looking. Have a beautiful and blessed day, sending love and hugs, bye!!
MaCenna, the white bowls you found are wonderful! This is my set of china. They are from Heutchenreuther. Made in Germany. Hope you enjoy them dear one as I have enjoyed mine. Funny, I never got the bowls... BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
About to watch, but before I do. I hope you are finished work now and have some time to relax before baby arrives. You are going to do great. I can't wait to hear all about your birth experience and hear baby boy's name (when you are ready to share of course) ❤ P.s. don't over think the "baby dropping" thing, my two girls never dropped until active labour for me!
I have some albums and they make ready to use black frames for them, easily obtainable. Cud always repaint frame, etc. God bless you and Baby Boy, MaCenna. Love, Amanda
Just taking this moment to tell you just how beautiful you are. This pregnancy is coming to an end and I hope you have an easy delivery. My first baby was in my 30s but it was so much easier than I expected because I had my husband by my side every step of the way. I’m 40 now and we have 3 babies but it’s a wonderful feeling to be a mama. I’m so excited for you both. Welcome to the mommy club❤
Andersonville was a famous Confederate prison for Union Prisoners of War. My great great grandfather was a prisoner there. 😝 You found some very lovely books at the sale! Can’t wait for all your projects to finish baking. 🥰
That was a beautiful house. It’s funny, at first, I didn’t the light was right for your home, but the second time you showed it, I think over the sink it would be just right. Would love to see it when it is cleaned up.
I power walked 6miles a day for both of my pregnancies. I was lucky I never got tired. I'm sorry you get so tired. It will be over soon, then you get a beautiful baby boy. Blessings
Hi Mccenna , you look amazing . I was 1 weeks pregnant out from my due date and I sat and cried on the Friday evening because I didn’t think baby could grow anymore and I couldn’t move 😀but my little man must have heard me and the very next morning (Saturday ) my contractions started and he came on Sunday morning 👌👌my beautiful 9 lb baby boy arrived one week early and he turns 22 this September . He is our pride and joy and is living life to the full but boy I was so glad he arrived early 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😄😄😄😄💙💙💙💙💙

Dearest MaCenna,
We will be here whenever you decide to post after your son comes.
Do not worry about us.
Only one thing,
PLEASE just post a message that baby came, all is ok.
We just want to know you're both doing great.
ENJOY that precious first few weeks!
Say NO to visitors the first few day's.
If people cannot understand, oh well.
That light is amazing for the kitchen.
Use those special candle shaped bulbs, the larger size.
Thank you for allowing us to go on your life journey.
Do not be quiet around baby!
My Mom n Law tried to warn me.
I raised 2 quietly, & they're in their mid 40's & are extremely light sleepers!
I told them to raise their children with tons of noise.
Those 8 grandchildren & 2 greats sleep through anything.
Many blessings
❤
Can’t wait. I want to see baby boy.
I work as a funeral service director. I have been so moved by MaCenna going to these estate sales. These estate sales often happen when there is no family to pass these things on to or the family does not have the capacity for all of the stuff left behind. Seeing the objects that tell the story of someone’s life. How they lived day to day and how they celebrated with good china and decorations. MaCenna is so respectful about being in the home of someone who has passed.
Just a word of caution to all expecting mothers. I didn’t swell either during my recent pregnancy. I didn’t even swell the day of delivery. However, two weeks after having my baby I started to swell a bit and felt really off.

But I am thankful I didn’t dismiss those signs and rushed myself back to the hospital. It literally saved my life. Always check your blood pressures during and after delivery till at least 6 weeks postpartum. Preeclampsia is a serious condition that can take you by surprise.
Wow no idea about that. I’m glad you got through it.
Fast click! Does anyone else feel like an invested friend of MaCenna's and with every update, be it personal or renovation we're like Click, Click Click!!! 😂 love you girl. So excited for all this fun live things!
Waiting for that baby!!
Yess!!! All I want is the kitchen reveal at this point 🤣🙈
YES!!!!....it's like waiting for ur best friend to call u & say it's time!!!!
I def do I feel Like we are all family
Absolutely! And when she said she thought she already had that Bluebird Children's Book, I told her "Yes you do. It was the first book you ever bought for the baby". Then I thought, maybe I am a little too invested. 🤔
Baby Boy is waiting for the kitchen to be finished!

Baby boy, Cade Rowan, was born June 8.
I've noticed how softly and quietly you've been speaking in your videos lately, like in preparation for the baby 💙 You'll be an amazing mama!!

When MaCenna drops, I drop everything I am doing to watch. No matter if I’m at work or at home or with friends. I feel like I’ll be behind if I wait.
Don’t MaCenna and drive though…! 😅
MaCenna's 'bump' hasn't even dropped yet though , baby boy is too cosy where he is !
I know, this why I'm worried a little.
If you put your screen/monitor up (use a 4x4 or a block or brick) about 4-5" higher, you won't have to squinch and hunch. And your shoulders will feel better, even if you weren't aware of any discomfort. I was spending a fortune at the chiropractor because of pain and burning in my shoulders and neck. It worked!
I ABSOLUTELY remember being done being pregnant…I was just ready to meet baby and be a mom…last stretch is the hardest..you got this lady🥰
You have such a good man. He’s gonna be a great role model and first hero for your baby boy.
Ooo that Lorna Doone book. Its one of my favourite classics of all time and that is one gorgeous cover. And that light is so unique too. Love!
I hope you continue to send us updated videos. God bless you and Romeo as you become parents!!!
I have never seen such a happy 9 month pregnant woman as you McCenna. Can not wait for baby boy❤
MaCenna, please don't exhaust yourself. You will need all your energy for when baby boy comes XXX
It is an old bavarian service called Baronesse, I guess. The porcelain factory Tirschenreuth belongs to Hutschenreuther. I think you bought salad bowls. You can still buy the service.

Happy Birthday!🎉
Happy Birthday 😊

I’m sending you love from NYC. I hope you have people that loves you close by. Our world is sometimes lonely. Take a walk & admire the beautiful flowers created for you.
Your attitude towards the rude plant 😂😂😂😂 I just can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂 You made my day 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much.
That pillow cover was meant to be yours!!! Gorgeous ❤❤

same with our area, i’d have to drive at least 7 hrs for a decent estate sale or even antique store

Best part of my day is when you upload!❤
Every one gets so dang excited when u ur video uploads. 😊😂
Woohoo so early here. Macenna cannot wait for the kitchen, feeling so anxious for it to be done before baby! All the best ❤
Your home sounds so soothing with the birds singing and all the trees in the background. I personally like over cast days. Love you girl,from pacific beach,San Diego xo❤
Yes, the birds are beautiful. The sounds are different than ours here in Georgia.
Hi my love, you’re looking amazing. Not long to go, just take care, look after each other. Can’t wait to see baby and how Kinsley reacts to him.
Love to you all. Xx
Congratulations on Baby Cade! Can't wait to see videos! I hope your mom made it there to help you out!

Love these little thrifting trips and hauls! Could totally scratch my vintage inspiration itch while you're in the midst of postpartum recovery. Would not complain one bit if this is all we received for a hot minute on YT from you! ❤
Great find on that pillow cover. It's always fun finding a mate for something you never thought you would. They will be beautiful on those chairs.
I went snowshoeing at 39 weeks trying to get my daughter to be born. Didn’t work 😂 she was over a week late. They arrive when they are ready to be here! Also completely normal to never want to wear your maternity clothes after they are born because you get sick of them ❤
Finding another pillow cover is fate. So interesting. Love to see what you find. You are so radiant. Wish your Mom was here to enjoy all this, but know she will be soon. Prayers for an easy delivery…🙏❣️
That light might also look good in the nursery as well. really liked the shade of brass on it. Can't wait for the next kitchen update! 😊
I can’t believe you found a match for that pillow! I can’t wait to see the kitchen update. We are getting so close to baby’s arrival! Aaaahhh it’s all so exciting!
MaCenna, just incase no one has mentioned it, it’s a good idea to put a sheet of plastic (or garbage bag) on your car seat, as a precaution against needing to replace the whole seat if your water breaks while you’re sitting on it. (Your mattress just needs a waterproof mattress protector.😊
Dear Ms. MaCenna, I'm sure the little fellow wants to come out and play soon. I can't wait for the kitchen cabinets. The new light for over the sink looks like it will be amazing. One thing that makes me sad is how you have such an enviable library yet you haven't read most pf your amazing collection of books. I highly recommend Lorna Doone it's fantastic! So many other titles that you picked for aesthetics are gems that should be mined for exquisite pleasure. Your little one will be very fortunate for them later in life.
I think the brass light used to have a brass rod that connects to the top for the wires to go through.
Love all those vintage children's books! I can just picture you sitting in the chair and reading to your sweet baby in that lovely nursery.
You look absolutely stunning! Your glowing!! That baby boy looks soooo good on you!! 😍
aww thank you so much
So glad you picked up the Lorna Doone book, thats a good find!!
Just can’t wait for your Mum to get there to be with you for the birth of baby boy, she is going to be beside her sift with joy!!
Looking forward to seeing a sneak peek of the kitchen on Sunday. Sheena xx
Thank you for years of sharing .God bless ❤
MaCenna you look so good! I remember that feeling so well when you’re like ok baby boy get done. Love those bowls, so pretty!!
MaCenna my heart smiles so big when I’m notified of a video from you❤❤❤❤❤. I have followed you for several years and watched so many projects from the apartment ( out door chairs) loved for your little patio. The last week of pregnancy was so hard for me I got so tired!!!!!!! And the night before both of my babies ( age 47 and 40) the day before delivery my body just said no more, I was tired and felt like I was coming down with the flu, this may happen to you. My son 40 weighed 10 pounds. I am so excited for you but walking really helped with the labor (they had me walk in the hospital) to help,with the labor. When you are tired listen to your body. I am the happiest when I see your beautiful smile and sweet Texas accent, ( yes it’s there).❤❤❤. I wanted the floral China it looked so sweet
Wow, 47! What was that pregnancy like? Was the labor recovery similar to the one at 40? I ask because I'm 41 and thinking about a 5th baby every now and then since my 4th is 2 now and wondering what to expect in my 40s. Those toddlers are just so cute at that age and make you want another! 😄
@@franchescawetter8423 I was 33 when I had my son and 26 when I had my daughter those numbers are how old they are now
So excited aaaa❤ hope you and baby are doing well! wishing you a safe delivery ❤
thank you so much
Those Havilland plates are French Limoge which are valuable, especially if from the first Limoge plant which ultimately burned down and was rebuilt again afterwards.
What an awesome estate sale! That china! and the books. Great furniture too. What a cool house. The china pieces you got are so pretty and I love the books. That Lorna Doone book is beautiful!
My first kid stayed all the way up to 42 weeks, good luck gf. You might still have a long way to go lol
Queen of a good segway into paid sponsors! You actually make me watch and listen! lol you have a way of making it fit into the video and not making it sound like you’re forcing it onto us!
I was thinking during that promotion that she was a pro at making commercials that fit into her vlog. Lol
Right!!! What a talent.
Totally! I wish we had that app in Canada 😂
Because I'm in a different time zone I'm never on TH-cam when a video goes live! This was genuinely such a thrill just seeing a recent video!
Dear Macenna
You can not understand or believe the joy and warm your videos give me in my sad, bad, and happy days ..
It is something that I look for all day, and when my kids are finally sleep I just run to my bed and reach my phone and opening youtube knowing that the moment I click on your video the millions of voices in my brain will finally shutdown and I will have a real and solid 30 (or sadly less) minutes of pure happiness ❤
I love you and your videos, may Allah bless your soul❤
Your excitement and expressions while showing the Lorna Doone book made me chuckle 😊
Pillow covers you were meant to find and display. Estate sales are my favorite.
I'm going to move into a smaller house and will pass on unneeded things. BUT then I can look for more "stuff" I just have to have. 😃
Best wishes for your last days of pregnancy and delivery! Can’t wait to see the kitchen before or after baby boy’s arrival.
FYI, the Louisa May Alcott book, Eight Cousins, you saw at the estate sale: great book - also beautiful edition. I have three of her other titles, same edition with the gorgeous cover illustration, that I found at Powell’s bookstore in Portland, OR in 1993. The illustrations inside the book are amazing as well. I wanted to reach through the screen and grab it! May not have been your taste in cover or content but such a gorgeous book! I’m a baby boomer - read those books growing up - many of them multiple times - so they probably don’t have the same appeal to your generation. Love seeing your estate sale finds. I can look and not be tempted to take things home😜.
Those white dishes one of them had a chip.
That book was beautiful, the pages edges.
Crazy on the pillow case
That’s lovely a Mackenna video before my bedtime here in uk! You’re looking lovely and I love those glasses
Agree, lovely to see video as its posted.
I've raised 4 kids. If I could have had a house cleaning service the first few months I would have enjoyed the babies more, because I wouldn't have been so exhausted!!! Enjoy the time.
Es ist wirklich schön zu sehen,wie gut Du noch drauf bist,obwohl Du ja schon hoch schwanger bist.Du hast sehr schöne Dinge gekauft auf dem Flohmarkt/ Haushaltsauflösung . Unter anderem 6 Schüssel aus Deutschland ,diese Schüsseln, sind Suppenschalen ,dazu gehören noch Unterteller, ich habe das ganze Geschirr....Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Anja😊
I loved that you found the pillow cover and it matched perfect. I just love when things like that happens when I’m out shopping at thrift stores or yard sales. MaCenna, you look fantastic. I can assure you I didn’t look that good when I was in my last week of pregnancy and I sure didn’t feel that great either. I think I described my last week pregnant as a beached whale. 😂 This was the second baby, the first baby came 6 weeks premature and breech. 🥴 Very excited about seeing that bundle of joy and I can’t wait to see your Mama with him.❤❤❤
What great finds at the estate sale.
Good luck with Baby! Just relax and it will go perfectly! ❤
I loved the blue chairs, and the ones up stairs also! I love collecting old chairs, wood ones or with upholstery. And all the old books, another love of mine! And you picked up some beautiful ones! I'm so glad you got the Lorna Soon, that was my favorite one.. is beautiful! I told someone earlier i want to try to find seeing if the original books like Lorna Doon, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Gone With The Wind.. just those type. Love the pillow cover too, so pretty and so cool it monarchies your other one! I'm so excited for the next video, ready to get a look at that kitchen😊
Finding that pillow cover in LA to match the one you found in Texas!! Girl, you lead a charmed life❣️🤗
I used to own a few vintage cotton tapestry cushions as a teenager that were worn so soft from use they were the most comfortable things ever. I so regret giving them away.
Our daughter - our first baby - was at least three weeks overdue by the doctor's calculations, and I was more than ready to be done with it! Hubby took me riding in his pickup truck. When we bounced over some railroad tracks or potholes, he'd do an exaggerated bounce in his seat and joke about doing something to speed things up! I miss that man. ♥
The two black,Grey chairs at the beginning of the sale were soooo pretty. I definitely love the brass chandelier you bought. The bowls are perfect size for salads, soups, actually everything
That Maxfield Parrish/L. Frank Baum Mother Goose book! I MUST have that in my life!! I adore their work!
Cornflour blue! It has become one of my favorite colors because of you! lol I am so happy you’re still prioritizing things you love to do right up to baby coming and can not wait to see how your content changes once he comes 💙
Going to an estate sale Saturday only 1 mile from my home where the owner had an antique shop..so excited...❤
oh that Lorna Doone book is precious!! I've never read the book but I've seen the BBC miniseries of it.
Love you shop books by color, I so understand! Excited about your pillow duplicate! The universe smiles on us😊
Those bowls are everything!! When you picked up the first one I wanted them,and I never do that! They are beautiful and you can use them for small serving dishes or souffle bowls, or just a beautiful fruit salad. What a score. And, I saw that piece next to the light when you first showed it. What a strange thing for someone to pick up. Anyway,I pray they find it for you. Time for some rest before baby. You will need it so much.
Oh MaCenna, this was a wonderful video, I am so excited for you both to have this beautiful baby boy and I believe you are going to be wonderful parents. I am so happy that you are feeling good and all babies decide when they are ready to come into the world some come early and some come later and some come right on time. Both of my children came 1 week early and I had great pregnancies, not hard at all. I am also so excited to see the progress on your beautiful kitchen and how it will be looking. Have a beautiful and blessed day, sending love and hugs, bye!!
Penrod! I found that in the library in middle school. IIRC I think baby boy will love it
Girl, you are Glow-ing! Your skin is flawless!
MaCenna, the white bowls you found are wonderful! This is my set of china. They are from Heutchenreuther. Made in Germany. Hope you enjoy them dear one as I have enjoyed mine. Funny, I never got the bowls... BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
I think those bowls would make great soup bowls. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen
About to watch, but before I do. I hope you are finished work now and have some time to relax before baby arrives. You are going to do great. I can't wait to hear all about your birth experience and hear baby boy's name (when you are ready to share of course) ❤
P.s. don't over think the "baby dropping" thing, my two girls never dropped until active labour for me!
At 19:08, the baby car seat!! Soooo precious!!!! Cannot wait for you both to start your family!
I was just thinking about you guys.. so happy for y'all 💞 congratulations... but I wanted to wish Romeo Happy Father's Day...
I have some albums and they make ready to use black frames for them, easily obtainable. Cud always repaint frame, etc. God bless you and Baby Boy, MaCenna. Love, Amanda
Love them bowls 😍 I can’t wait to see the kitchen 😆
Just taking this moment to tell you just how beautiful you are. This pregnancy is coming to an end and I hope you have an easy delivery. My first baby was in my 30s but it was so much easier than I expected because I had my husband by my side every step of the way. I’m 40 now and we have 3 babies but it’s a wonderful feeling to be a mama. I’m so excited for you both. Welcome to the mommy club❤
I love cornflower blue because you’ve made me a fan! ❤🎉
Andersonville was a famous Confederate prison for Union Prisoners of War. My great great grandfather was a prisoner there. 😝 You found some very lovely books at the sale! Can’t wait for all your projects to finish baking. 🥰
That was a beautiful house. It’s funny, at first, I didn’t the light was right for your home, but the second time you showed it, I think over the sink it would be just right. Would love to see it when it is cleaned up.
I power walked 6miles a day for both of my pregnancies. I was lucky I never got tired. I'm sorry you get so tired. It will be over soon, then you get a beautiful baby boy. Blessings
Yours is one of the only things that I’ll drop everything for to watch. Waiting with baited breath for junior to come.
I can't believe he is almost here! You are so beautiful pregnant! Prayers for a great delivery!
Finding that cover that matches is absolutely wonderful. I’m so happy for u.
Hi Mccenna , you look amazing . I was 1 weeks pregnant out from my due date and I sat and cried on the Friday evening because I didn’t think baby could grow anymore and I couldn’t move 😀but my little man must have heard me and the very next morning (Saturday ) my contractions started and he came on Sunday morning 👌👌my beautiful 9 lb baby boy arrived one week early and he turns 22 this September . He is our pride and joy and is living life to the full but boy I was so glad he arrived early 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😄😄😄😄💙💙💙💙💙
I’m so shook that you found a matching pillow!!!
