    Has this year gone madly quickly for you too?! We can't believe there's only one month left before the little one is here! Whether you've been with us since the beginning, or if this is your first video you've come across, thanks for joining us this week!! We'd also love to know what your go to winter warmer drink is...comment and let us know! ☕

    Jack, I was touched to hear your feelings for Gabby. She is amazing, but so are you. Your baby will have wonderful parents who love, respect and cherish one another. ❤

      ​@@thistinylifeget a beko washing machine they are excellent and quick if you get a digital one takes 28 mins for a 30 degree wash, 38 for a 40, 58 for 60 and just over 1 hour for a 90 which is great they are also silent if you go for a 10kg beko digital washing machine.

    Having the bath working will be the biggest bonus once baby is here. Everyone bathing, hand washing clothing, bathing puppy in the winter, etc. 😍🇨🇦

    Jack, the moment that baby is in your arms is something you will never forget, your life really does centre around baby from now on. Gabby all I can tell you is your body knows what to do and will guide you through the birth. Keep calm, remember to do your deep breathing and just enjoy the gift of a new life. If baby gets half the love you two show each other that is all they need. Food, warmth and love. Exciting times ahead!

  • @shinylittlepeople
    @shinylittlepeople ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I get the firewood thing... I love a good open fire and it is so satisfying to stock up and know that you will have a cozy fire to snuggle up to during the winter months. You are both so inspiring and we can see the gratefulness that you have for life.... narrowboat living reminds me of growing up at my grandparents cottage and is so nostalgic and I have so many amazing memories and hope the I can experience that again. You truly look like you are living your dream lives and we so love live vicariously through you. 💖

  • @anniemac3075
    @anniemac3075 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I completely understand the feeling you're getting moving the wood knowing it's going to keep you warm in the winter, there's something visceral about providing for yourself be it food, fuel, making your own clothes, building out your home to suit you.
    It's the basis of life, how we're meant to live not just switching on a central heating controller on the wall.
    Be yourselves & be happy ❤🌼🌱

  • @mishkawp8200
    @mishkawp8200 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    You’ll both be amazing parents - what you’ve achieved over the last few months is huge, and I have no doubt you’ll be ready for the baby to arrive. Ultimately babies are stationary for several months and do nothing but sleep and eat, so you’ll have time to finish things off and childproof the boat before he/she is mobile. You could follow the Scandinavian model and use a cardboard box as a crib for the first few months. Very eco friendly, easy to get hold of and recycle afterwards.

    Jack and Gabby, I feel privileged to have a peak into your lives.
    Slow living was a concept I had never heard of prior to finding your channel.
    You have everything you need to have your baby. They need love and you both have plenty of that! As far as a place to sleep, I had a friend whose baby slept in the drawer of a dresser- not in the dresser - they used the drawer as the crib. It worked perfectly.
    I do remember on the way to the hospital, me telling my husband, I’m not ready , who thought it was ok for me to have a baby. Turn around I can hold it!!
    Yes I was adult! It was just the sheer enormity of what was happening.
    You are about to have the best adventure of your lives! It’s worth every minute.
    Thank you for a lovely video!
    Donna

    @claireskinner9077 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You’re both going to be amazing parents - the way you live your life and the love you have for each other and this baby really is evident.
    As for what you need for bubs at the start - some clothes, some form of nappies, a blanket, somewhere safe to sleep (be that co sleeping or a bassinet) and a car seat are really all you need.
    A baby wearing wrap and/or a pram are nice to have (if you get a pram with a bassinet it can double as a bed for the first few months if needed), as is a bouncer, but they are by no means essential.

    As a new parent you will always feel like you don't have everything for your little one. It's not until months go by and you realize you actually didn't need all the things you thought you did. As a winter mom my main concern was keeping my little one warm. All I can say is layers is your friend. They need much more than you think especially if the room doesn't stay extremely warm 24/7. If you need anyone to chat with about having a winter baby feel free to reach out 😊.

    Just a quick tip for space and water saving baby bathing: get a bucket style tub like Shnuggle or Tummy Tub - they're small enough to fit in a sink and very comfortable for the baby.

    Jack, how wonderful to hear your heartfelt admiration for Gabby. You are both fantastic and so well suited. You have adapted to your new life so well and I am sure are going to make incredible parents.
    Hope all goes smoothly at the birth, when the time comes,😮 and remember being parents is full of learning curves, with often no right or wrong way of doing things. Listen to others advice, but ultimately follow your hearts and you won’t go far wrong.
    Blessings to you both and continue to treasure your wonderful way of life. Best wishes Helen 😀 & Barney 🐕‍🦺

    Re your Chai you should put your herbs and spices into a tea infuser so you don’t need to worry about straining the tea. A tea pot would also help more with your directional pouring ….. and no mess. Enjoy. ❤

    Good luck with baby, very exciting. Remember to enjoy it, and good luck doing it on the boat. For pouring from jugs, key is confidence, try to pour more quickly and commit. (Won't try to give you advice on babies, you'll get plenty of that!)

    Hi Jack, I'd recommend a milk saucepan. You'll pour successfully every time

    Friends of mine had a sailboat and they put their infant into a hammock. One in the bedroom and one in the living room. They basically put the boat in charge of rocking the baby to sleep!

      Hammock is such a great idea - jack wants to make this, and space saving!

    You are both so sweet. You will be awesome parents. The only advice I got that I really appreciated I will pass on to you. You know your baby best and the decisions you make will always be the right ones for you and baby. I raised my son while renovating or building homes for his whole childhood. We all loved it. A home is where the people and animals you love live, There are a lot of so called beautiful homes without any love in them at all. Be so proud of yourselves. Best wishes from Canada.

    I am enjoying your journey ! I remember when we were expecting our first baby and she was born 40 years ago. Your journey's taking me back through it. A magical and terrifying time. You guys have your priorities right and you'll do great. That little baby is lucky to have you both. I'm in California and I have to say there's nothing here like the British canals.

    Hi Jack & Gabby, if the UK is anything like OZ, house prices are unobtainable and renting is equally bad. Young ppl’s choices are, get on the treadmill and be stressed, or do what you have done. Your choice will be much better for your relationship and your child. I’m positive all will be good and I wish you both all the best for the upcoming birth :)

    Anyone who has done any living in the wild, whether it be for a weekend, a holiday, or (as in my case) by long-term choice, has to be a bit loopy. But the rewards from doing it far outweigh the temporary inconveniences. Your immediate future is filled with unknowns brought on by the arrival soon enough of another human being who will be totally dependent on you two for everything, including life. You both have good brains and make great choices. No worries!

    • @thistinylife

    Amazing vlog. well done on getting the wood on board. I think that was so lovely what you said about Gabby being so strong and she is certainly looking great pregnant. Look forward to more. Take care xx just moved onto my boat tonight! Just in time for winter. Anyway good luck with it all. You will both be amazing parents.

    Remember, you've paid a premium for 'dry' wood, as required nowadays, so try and keep it that way to keep the heat efficiency up.

    Suggestion for not making a mess when pouring you chai. Use a ladle to take the chai between pan and mug.
    I’m about six months behind your videos atm but catching up by watching several a week 😊

    I probably would get a small gravy ladle to help with getting the chai from pot to cup. And with storage at a premium the smaller gravy ladle would be better than the larger soup ladle.

    I have a wood burner in my house, and I still struggle with space for all the wood so hats off to you!!. I do harvest as many pallets though for free wood that I can get as long as they're only heat treated. Free wood. Burns great.

    • @thistinylife

      Can't beat free wood and heat treated! Competition along the canal for pallets is high along the canal 🤣
