Hi Megan! I found your channel about a week ago and I have been loving your content! From your style and love for thrifting to the way y’all raise Rowan and the love between you and your husband. Thank you for your hard work!🤎✨
I finally caught up on vlogs!! I was 3 months behind for like a year! haha Thats what happens when you take a step back from socials I guess. Sooo happy that you are expecting a little girl and your house is absolutely stunning. 💜
I reeeeally needed to hear that body talk! I have told some close friends soo many times lately “ I know we’re supposed to love the skin we’re in, but I feel so uncomfortable in my skin.” Even 2 years after having my daughter, still never lost all the weight. So thank you for addressing this 🙌🙌
Omg thank you for that h&m haul, I was struggling to find a take home outfit for my baby girl Olive due end of June/July. That green polka dot outfit is perfect! I bought it right away.
Thanks for keeping it real. I’m a IVF mama and I too felt the same way during my first pregnancy. When people would say embrace your body it’s awesome, it’s creating life. I struggled because I didn’t trust my body based on fertility trauma. My son is now 14 months and I’m still holding on to 5 pounds of weight, which is not a big deal, but I am worried about what my next pregnancy will bring. It’s ok to hold space for both positive and negative feelings and often times people don’t get that.
Couldn’t agree more. I went through several IVF cycles before getting super lucky with an unplanned IUI. I wanted to love and embrace my body but in reality was terrified it would fail me (our LO is a rainbow baby and I’ve got weight gain from each pregnancy that I’m still dealing with). I’m an older momma and can no longer lose weight quickly. Holding onto 10 lbs but always trying to remember that my boy is worth it! 💚 He smiles and loves me regardless of what I look like. That alone helps my confidence.
YAY! I'm so glad you got the bonnet! 🥰💚🌿 And you look so great! I love your honesty and rawness when it comes to these things. We are less than 3 weeks out from meeting our son. I love pregnancy, and it is such a blessing. But he is our 2nd, and I am definitely ready to be done with pregnancy. It's just a lot at this point- I started off not having had lost the weight from what I gained with our pregnancy with our girl. And now, with chasing a toddler around, it's hard on my body. haha Super excited for Juniper to arrive! I am sure I'll be keeping up on your videos during our late nights, anxiously awaiting to hear about her birth! 😊💚
I gained 40lbs first pregnancy- lost it all within two months. The breastfeeding just totally whips you back into shape! I started my second pregnancy weighing less than I did for my first and I only had 10 months between pregnancies. You’re definitely going to be back to yourself!
I know it is easy to say but please t try not to worry about your weight. Your body is so clever and it will take itself back to how it should be. Just keep telling yourself it is the baby putting on the weight, not you. You are not alone xxxx
That bonnet is beautiful! I've been wanting to knit one for baby Juniper too but the one in this video is WAY cuter than anything I could make :P Body image is so hard. For me, growing up no one told me that our bodies are ALWAYS changing. I thought I'd get to my adult body in my teens/20s and then it would just stay that way forever, but I've come to realize that our weight and shape change through our whole lives, and some periods like puberty or pregnancy they just change more rapidly. I hope you're able to have another positive birth experience that provides some healing in your relationship with your body. I really appreciate your sharing your confidence journey with us, your little corner of the internet has so much value for so many people!
Thank you so much for speaking about that because I'm not pregnant I do have a 2-year-old and I just can't seem to get the extra weight off and I've been struggling a lot with that and you speaking about it really helped me because I do see so many people talk about how good they feel in their body and they're the same size as me but they do this and that and XYZ I feel like I don't even have time for myself so thank you so much
Girl, second, third etc. babies are a whole different ballgame for your body. Most people gain more with subsequent babies, regardless of what you do. I’m not sure why, maybe the first time the body doesn’t quite understand what’s happening as much but with subsequent pregnancies, it catches on quickly and takes off. With my second pregnancy I watched my diet so much more and worked out 5+ times per week, I literally didn’t work out at all the first pregnancy! Yet my first pregnancy I gained 30 pounds and the second pregnancy I gained 40. The second baby was actually smaller, too! I literally did not even eat very much throughout because I was nauseous. Just do your best, and that’s all you can do, your body will do as it pleases!
Thanks for talking about body image! I'm 3 months pp and gained 30 pounds..I don't like what my body looks like however I don't hate myself, just not happy with the weight
Tell Rowan I have a hard time sharing my blueberries, too ! lol When he came cruising by on the Swiffer it made me laugh!!!! I do have a question (strictly out of curiosity.) Do companies send you random things so they will get some advertising on your channel? I know it's different if the company is sponsoring you. The business side of TH-cam is a bit of a mystery to me which is why I was wondering!
Sometimes! I don’t guarantee content for companies that send me products if it’s not a sponsorship but if I really love the item then I might share it! So I think some companies send things over in hopes that they’ll make it into a video. Most of the things in this video (H&M clothing, mystery clothing bag, jacket, etc.) are all things I bought myself! I always try make sure to say when a product was gifted
You will feel back to yourself. I gained almost 70 lbs with my second pregnancy I started in 120 lbs at the end I was huge. To be honest I never lost the weight naturally I got stuck in 145 lbs for a while then 135 lbs Now my son is 19 months and I am happy to recall that I am 113 lbs! I do paleo, and go to the gym 5 days a week. Honestly is a way to self care At this point is not for the weight Is just that I love to move my body and eat good food that will heal my body! I also enjoy going to the gym with childcare The kids have a blast and I get to have a me time to gain energy! You will be okay!
My advise for eny girl who is pregnant is to be blessed that your body is able to carry a humen Been indeed and are able to use your body to help it grow . When ever i think about body image myself when I was pregnant with my son ,instead of seeing a pretty girl and look of myself i think 9f how my life is going to change for the better thanks to what my body can do in 9 months.that usually helps me and hope it will help you !

You are so sweet!!! So happy to have you here, Judy! 💛
OMG THOSE PLATES
Hahaha my son does the same no no no when he hears bruno
Don't forget you can double or triple your fabric up when cutting your squares so that you cut 2 or three pieces at a time to save time:)
Love your vlogs, Megan! And I always play the ads all the way through...
♡
22:46 Rowan is just judging us all 😂
HAHAHAHA I didn’t even catch that when I was editing 😂
Thanks for sharing

The way Rowan said “morning” melted my heart🥺❤️
Love the overalls! I’m obsessed with my daughter wearing little shorts overalls right now!
I can’t get over how cute he is! 😊
Great video
You're such an engaged , loving, and all around wonderful mom Megan!! Xo
You and Rowan singing Encanto in the beginning absolutely melted my heart 🥺❤️
He’s such a musical kid! Must take after his parents (who met doing theatre haha!)

Rowan just melts my heart everytime you have him on camera! 😍
Omg thank you for that h&m haul, I was struggling to find a take home outfit for my baby girl Olive due end of June/July. That green polka dot outfit is perfect! I bought it right away.
Yay a vlog when my boy is napping so I can actually watch the full thing in one go 😆💕
Yayyyyy for some “me time!” You deserve it!

You phrased that perfectly! 💛I’m both excited AND nervous, haha!

Awe man I was hoping to see what was in the panda crate

How does Matt feel about being back in the office now?
He’s bummed about missing out on time with Rowan for sure! But he definitely missed his coworkers too so I think he’s at least enjoying that part

@@MeganAcuna Thanks for the reply!
You will feel back to yourself.
I gained almost 70 lbs with my second pregnancy
I started in 120 lbs at the end I was huge.
To be honest I never lost the weight naturally
I got stuck in 145 lbs for a while then 135 lbs
Now my son is 19 months and I am happy to recall that I am 113 lbs!
I do paleo, and go to the gym 5 days a week.
Honestly is a way to self care
At this point is not for the weight
Is just that I love to move my body and eat good food that will heal my body!
I also enjoy going to the gym with childcare
The kids have a blast and I get to have a me time to gain energy!
You will be okay!
💕

When ever i think about body image myself when I was pregnant with my son ,instead of seeing a pretty girl and look of myself i think 9f how my life is going to change for the better thanks to what my body can do in 9 months.that usually helps me and hope it will help you !
Did you do lip fillers?
Nope! But thank you for thinking my lips are full enough for that haha!
