You'll appreciate your baby book in years to come. I still treasure mine and my 1st baby is 43! It's so lovely to look back on, so much more personal than online medical notes. x
Me too!! We kept all the baby wrist and ankle bracelets ,weight height etc and the babygrow worn home from the hospital. They bring back so many wonderful memories i`m so glad we hung into them all.x
Can i just say as a mother, don’t let anyone tell you you’re over buying for your first child.. they will say “ i did it and wish i didn’t” but this is your first time having a baby and get whatever you want for your bubba!
I would totally buy the grack on tour sweatshirt I love that you put all the places you've been on there!! a reminder of how far you've come :) have fun in Italy
Grace, I can take my hayfever meds while pregnant. Obviously check again with your doctor but I take ceterizine (don't know if its the same in English) every day. Might be worth it to go and check. It is an over the counter med. in the Netherlands. But again: check with your doctee first.
No antihistamine is recommended in the UK, if the risk to the mother if she went without it is greater than the effects on the infant then the medication is encouraged. Otherwise it's best not to take almost anything during pregnancy 😫
Ah that explains! Here my doctor says its fine and the packaging says to discuss it with your doctor. Ever since I became pregnant it has been fascinating to me how different recommendations are depending on where you live.
From the nhs guidance on who can take antihistamines: Loratadine is usually recommended if you need to take an antihistamine in pregnancy. Loratadine or cetirizine are usually OK to take while breastfeeding.
Not sure if it was my phone but did anyone else see a weird little black square onscreen near the end of the vlog, when Grace was showing all the clothes? Huge congrats Grace if you read this, aaah a little boy, super cute!! 💙🩵💙 x
Try finding a locally made honey. It might help with your hay fever. Also, Itsu seaweed thins for the iodine. Don't get the wasabi ones :/ Each packet will give you 60% ish of your iodine and good for keeping your thyroid functioning properly.
Grace I hear you - I'm a true Canadian winter girlie. I hate summer & my social media (especially instagram) is full of Holiday countdowns and winter themed stuff - I can't wait!!!!!!!!!
I do not have hayfever but when I was pregnant my OB told me pregnant people hold more mucous than normal.... soooo the hayfever may also be hayfevering harder because your body is gonna keep itself super protected by staying congested.

I’m fully in Christmas mode lol I watched the grinch twice last month 😂😂 I’be been talking about having a Christmas movie night with hot chocolate for the past week and I’m minutes away from rewatching Zoe’s vlogmas from past years
Pregnancy sinus rhinitis is a thing so may not be related to Hay fever. Pregnancy causes increased blood flow to the mucous membranes of the nasal turbinates which causes the congestion. Sterimar the nasal douche can be helpful to reduce the inflammation of the mucosal membranes in the nose due to the ingredients namely sea water salts and purified water to help shrink the membranes
Not sure if any other hot chocolate lovers have tried Betty’s Hot Chocolate but it’s super good and fancy and I love making it bc you make it on the hob with hot milk and it’s so festive feeling!
Enjoy your babymoon ,i hope you get to read relax and just recharge your batteries:)...Oh and the fruit craving ,with all mine it was oranges ,with my last i consumed so many carrots my skin turned orange...really:). The cake looked amazing too btw ,and had me salivating!! xx
Late to this, but saw the Remo gelato and had to comment 😅 I tried the tiramisu flavour (yellow sticker win), and it was gorgeous, texture was silky! Half a pot gone in a second though. Also, a few vids ago you recommended a granola from a small business and we tried the Victoria Sponge flavour... it was bloomin' good!
Okay, so I love Christmas as well. When I found out about Christmas in July it made me love it even more. But Christmas in July is for those that have cancer/ any illness and their families know that they might not be here for the holiday. You can watch movies and donate just as you would during Christmas. Congratulations on baby boy! 🎉
My midwife and pharmacist advised me you can take antihistamine when pregnant but it’s best to take a non-drowsy version (probably so you don’t trip and fall or something) the pharmacist said some people only said immediately no because there’s not much research into it as there is painkillers etc, so I guess do what you feel is best 😊
Did you know that the thing where you hear a sound and feel the need to repeat it, actually has a name? It’s called Echolalia (ecko-lay-lee-ah) and is quite a common neurodivergent trait. Apparently there are a few different types and hearing someone say a phrase and then feeling the need to carry on a song with the same phrase in it is one of them - I do this A LOT lol. Some people communicate with memes, with me, it’s song lyrics 🤪
Grack!!! My first job was working at Boost Juice, and even though I'm Australian, I have a feeling the recipes for the drinks are similar. I still remember the recipes for the most popular drinks, so I just sent you an Instagram DM with the berry recipe!!!
@@MsSafx Sure thing! It's a mix of apple juice, frozen berries and strawberry frozen yoghurt. But, keep the ratio of frozen yoghurt to frozen berries a 3:1 ratio (we used an absurdly low amount of frozen berries). We added 250ml apple juice for a small, but I'd suggest just adding apple juice and ice until the texture is to your liking :)
I've seen quite a few content creators launch a t-shirt or hoodie for sale where the profits go to a charity of their choice / they partner with a charity. This would be great to see from you and I'm sure your followers would be keen to buy a grack designed item!
Sadly, Betty Crocker does not exist. She was made up for promotional purposes and they held a competition for people to come up with a signature for her!
Colleen Hoover...have you read any of her books Grace? Really flipping good ❤😊📚 Hayfever is exaggerated when you're pregnant it's a bummer. If I don't eat gluten or dairy it basically goes away though, inflammation I guess and gut health.
Just watched your 2020 haircut video. Just a word of wisdom, try to be careful tying your hair back so tight, especially with long hair, now you are pregnant and post pregnancy. Trust me from experience, you don't want a receding hairline. Netty Potty type nasal tube and saline salts help me for my sinus issues. My sister lives in the Netherlands and bought me one from Germany. You get nasal powered saline sachets that you add to water in the tube and flushes it out. Don't use plain water though as it strips the nasal passage bare and is painful. (i didn't let the sachet dissolve fully before using!) Something to think about your kitchen plans and wish i thought about when we self built ours was the height of the worktop counters. I'm 5'6" and find the worktop is a bit too low, even low it is at the standard height. Have you thought about raising it, have the full length wall cabinets to ceiling height and the having drawers on top of the base units, under the worktops? When starting any major refurbs, it is really important to get the ground floor layout sorted with electrics, gas, kitchen and downstairs loo (a god send - ours is connected to the house from and old outside loo). Have you been taking private bump pictures? I don't use IG of FB but bump picture updates are great memory keepsakes. I wish i took more pictures of my bump during pregnancy. It was very hot that year living in London and working in CL and the trains and tubes were unbearable with kankles and getting flat feet! Have you tried wearing a loose belt on top of the bump? I got a lovely wrap dress from that high street shop Mumma something mumma & me? It's a breast feeding dress and there are strap wraps around the boobs. Reminded me of Monsoon/ Laura Ashley but was plain purple. They had other colours. Great maternity and post maternity dress in hot weather. Anyway, hope you have a great time and T's and soft band trousers for travel ftw!
You could be having pregnancy induced rhinitis "Around 30 percent of pregnant women experience pregnancy rhinitis, making it one of the most common pregnancy symptoms. It can occur any time during pregnancy but tends to crop up between the third and seventh months, often getting worse as you near your due date."
it truly doesn’t matter whether the clump of cells has dna that will evolve into testicles or ovaries lmao, i just pray you have a healthy safe pregnancy & delivery and that the baby is loved and allowed to develop its own personality and interests. just raise a good human, don’t worry about projecting society’s idea of “a boy” onto it ❤️
Boy mom is a bad thing when they get creepy about it but I absolutely do not think you'd be like that at all. I think you wouldn't make it your who personality that they are a boy or a girl. I do think there are safer antihistamines during pregnancy. They just may not be the ones you are used to taking.
@@hollie531 I also don't think it's reality, everyone I know likes their children equally and boys can be way out of control a lot. Not these angels the boymoms think they are.
My nose started running when i was was pregnant and, 20 years later, it still is! 🤪 I, too, craved fruit and milk, when i was pregnant. I love that you're gonna be a boy mom. Its the BEST!!! 😊
It's not a "miracle drug", but I wear an amber necklace for chronic headaches and made one for my sister when she was pregnant (and of course for baby for teething, that's what amber necklaces are most known for). Amber contains something called succinic acid that our bodies actually produce as an anti-inflammatory which could help with cold/hay fever. Obviously I don't feel like it helps much when I have full-blown migraines or whenever I'm really sick, but it's been an amazing help on the daily and my sister felt like it helped her and baby teething as well. I know it sounds crazy, but it has seemed to work 😂
I thought I was going to a girl at first and loved the idea of dressing them up, but honestly after two boys I don't mind that I won't ever have a girl. Boys are fun and really just roll with it!
I hope you're doing well grack! Just a quick q - could your illness be covid? I'm in the UK working in hospitals and it is rampant at the moment! Do get checked if you can. Sending lots of love xx
Why do women always feel the need to say "please excuse my appearance"? A man would never say that, you look fine, there's no need to ask to be excused cause you didn't glam up for everyone. I just think it's such a silly thing we all do.
This isn’t particularly good news seeing how you can’t do much about it. However, the nasally symptom you’re having is a pregnancy symptom. I had it with my daughter and my midwife told me
I have been silently following for years. So happy for your family and the Lil one to have You!

A 30 MINUTE VLOG ???? Love this long form content so comforting
Definitely check out maternity, the earlier you buy it the longer you can wear it. The comfort is incredible, trust me you will love it.
Four years since my little one arrived and I'm still wearing maternity wear 😂 it's so darn comfortable!
I wore mine postpartum as well. Definetly a must

I think you manifested it haha - when your favourite colour is baby blue, it’s meant to be a boy! So cuute 💙
Colours don’t have a gender
Not sure if it was my phone but did anyone else see a weird little black square onscreen near the end of the vlog, when Grace was showing all the clothes? Huge congrats Grace if you read this, aaah a little boy, super cute!! 💙🩵💙 x
I think she was covering something like an address or such xx
The Hotel Chocolate blackforest hot chocolate done in the velvetiser is legit the best hot choc!! Especially with a wee bit of shortbread 😍
Let me throw an idea out there… Grackle Christmas pj merch made on Printful… I’ll be your product tester Grace

🇨🇦 here roasting in the heat and humidity 🤦♀️ Bring on autumn 🍁🍁🍁
There are many anti-histamines that are safe in pregnancy Grace! Talk to your pharmacist. No need to suffer.
I do not have hayfever but when I was pregnant my OB told me pregnant people hold more mucous than normal.... soooo the hayfever may also be hayfevering harder because your body is gonna keep itself super protected by staying congested.
So happy for you love congratulations on your baby boy 👶 we cant wait to meet him 💙 🎉
You can take Alevia when you’re pregnant, I had terrible heyfever when pregnant and they prescribed it to me
my dr has told me i can take certain antihistamines whilst pregnant when i didnt think i could so may be worth asking, i was suffering so much!

It ain’t no absolute solution but it vaguely helps…..Vasaline up the nose. Helps a bit - adds a coating to stop the pollen irritation. Best of luck!

Did you try the cadbury drinking chocolate? In the States, we have Crumbl cereal at Costco.

Hey Grace, you should look up "milk and hayfever" because as a former dairy intolerant (you), maybe lactose affects you and worsens your allergies ❤
Congratulations! So excited for you guys! xx

I was congested for both of my pregnancies the whole time, I used antihistamines with my boys. Congratulations on your little boy

I love the bottle you designed! Would love to buy that one :D
Ok random, but can you try the Aldi low sugar hot chocolate powder? I have never tried such good hot choccy
Totally agree it’s so nice
Buy a bag of Doritos, pour in a bowl and squeeze a little bit of fresh lime on top. It’s delicious.
I SCREAMED THE MOMENT YOU SAID YOU'RE A JOJO MOYES GIRL LIKE UHHH YESSSS SAME HERE?!?!?!
Boost use a lot of ice to make it thick 🙂 Try adding more ice next time and use your food processor or smoothie maker.
I’m so very happy for you!
Never heard of a baby moon…great idea
Lidl has their version of lime Doritos!! So limey so good
Deluxe sea salt and lime tortillas 🤤

You can buy iodised salt in the supermarket :)
Have you tested Zuma Hotcholate?? now I can’t go back to Cadbury. Also a boy mum to a 3 year old! Being a boy mum is crazy fun 😊
Try frozen yogurt - they sell in M&S. My fave is frozen mango, banana, pineapple juice and frozen yogurt.
Waitrose have lime combo?! Awwww get me there!
All the naternity notes are online too but it gives you your own copy and not everyone had access too computers abd printers so everyone gets the same
You're glowing ❤
Were the crisps and Tony's chocolonely on offer? 😉☺
All the info is in an app in scotland, thank goodness because I'd never remember 😂
Baby's first Christmas? ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

Check with your Dr or midwife but you can take lots of the over the counter hayfever medication when pregnant
You can take antihistamine when pregnant but certain ones
Congratulations 🎉. I didn't know you are pregnant. I'm sure you do great
