Close the doors, shut down the computer, unplug the phone, and get ready to fall in love. See you on the other side whenever you are ready. Those weeks are so precious. ❤. Lots of love 😘
So happy for you! Enjoy your time with baby. I just gave birth to a baby girl 4 weeks ago. One thought that helped me through the rough couple weeks following birth was that there are mamas all over the world awake and caring for a baby just as you are. Made me feel less alone at those times (even though Im fortunate to have support). ❤ all the best from a fellow mama in Texas!
Dear Jen, I’m facing my IVF journey and your book has touched my heart in a gentle but powerful way. I wish you and your baby all the love and happiness.
Jen! I got tears in my eyes when you showed your bump ❤ Those of us who’ve watched you for a while now have heard you mention your desire for a baby many times and I’m so happy for you even though we don’t know each other. Congratulations x
Sending you and your little family all the happy, good energy ♥ I know I'll miss your videos, but knowing you're getting to know your little one will be a great comfort haha, so take all the time you need x
Best of luck with everything! Remember to sleep, hydrate and eat to keep your strength up - you will need it! ❤ (my kids are adults already, but I still remember how challenging lack of sleep could be when they were tiny)
I can't express how happy I am for you Jen. I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant with my first (after a loss last year) and rewatching your old videos to find recommendations so I have things to read on the beach in the summer when I'm too big to do the activities I normally do! Watching you over the years has been such a pleasure and it's so nice to see you going through this stage that you have worked so hard for
Hurrah! This is so special. Thanks for keeping us updated Jenn; because, honestly, you really don't have to share any of this with us. But it does allow us to share the joy with you !!!
Congratulations! And enjoy it for the brief time that a newborn is that small. The time goes so quickly and within just a few months, you will be shocked at how much your baby has grown. Enjoy and take care of yourselves as well. Much love to your family.
I love your green baby- bump❤! I hope the delivery will go smoothly and that you and Mr. M will have an easy start into this new chapter! I will check out half of your tv recommendations. They sound great!
Genuinely, thank you for the concern around those of us who wanted kids but can't have them. I've had to stop following so many people after they've had kids because their posting changed so much to focus on the new aspect of their life, and I just couldn't handle it being such a focus when it never was before. Love your work and congratulations!
Richard Armitage is narrating The Dream Home as well) All the best wishes for you and your family, Jen! I hope the baby arrives into this world safely and all will be well!
Have been following you for quite a few years now so am aware of your journey. Lots of love and very best wishes to you and Mr M and for your new life together with your baby. Am so happy for you both! ❤
I'm SO happy for you! We will miss you, but I'll be glad to know you're spending your time with a brand new wonderful human. All the best to you and your family 💜
Bon voyage for the epic journey of motherhood! 🎉 I haven’t seen it myself but I’ve heard good things about Only Murders in the Building, I’ve just started watching both Loudermilk and Shogun and enjoying both of those and I am big fan of Inside No 9 so rewatch those fairly regularly. Top tip for life with a newborn: drinks, snacks and tv remote control always within reach. Take care and see you back here at some point! X
Congratulations to you and Mr M and best of luck in the next few weeks. I have upgraded my Patreon membership bevause I believe you should be able to take time with youur newborn. All the best.
Jen, i am so happy for you!! I saw how much this topic weighed heavy on you and look at you now!! You deserve all the happiness with this new member of your family. I'll miss your videos, but your well being is the most important
So so thrilled for you ❤ A great reminder that I have been meaning to join your patreon for some time!! I also need to agree about s2 of Traitors Australia - so much time was spent yelling at the tv 😂
oh Jen! I haven't been watching TH-cam much over the last year and completely missed this news. I have watched you long enough to know (some of) what a big journey it has been for you to get to this moment and I am tearing up knowing that it is finally here. Enjoy this precious time with your baby and I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible over the coming months for you and your family.
Heartwarming chat, Jen. I always enjoy your videos, whatever the topic may be, and thanks for the great captions! Lots of love to you and your growing family (including Lola and the tortoise!). 💖
Congratulations!!! Take all the time that you need for your baby and yourself. If you haven't watched The Brothers Sun (and it's available in the UK) you definitely should. It's an action/comedy about the Taiwanese mafia, family drama, and some twists and turns. And it stars Michelle Yeoh.
Lots of love & best wishes 🌸 And thank you for 'Please Do Not Touch This Exhibit'. One of your poems in it brought me comfort when I needed it the most. Your writing made a great difference 🎠
Congratulations!!! I hope the birth goes well and all of you are healthy and have a quick recovery! Take all the time you need getting used to this new chapter of your life! 💜
Thank you Jen! All the best to you and your new arrival. Looking forward to your next video -- whenever that may be, take the time you need -- because I so value your perspective and your personality!
Congratulations Jen. I hope you can really enjoy the beginning of the next part of this journey. We are due in around 11 weeks time, if all is well xx 😊
I’ll be thinking of you. Hope you and baby will be ok 🙏 I light candles for people in church, so I’ll have a candle lit for you , baby and daddy. 💐☘️👋🍀💕🥰
Jen! I'm so happy for you. I've been off BookTube the last year, but this video popped up. I hope everything goes well and that you enjoy the whole experience as much as you can. Believe me--it flies by. My daughters are now in their mid-20s but I still have fond memoires of when they were babies (and also memories I'm glad are behind me). I know how much you wanted this, so big virtual hugs
I am obsessed with traitors now and watching all the various countries’ versions and I agree! The second season of Australia’s was the most frustrating of them all! Gah!!!! I think they canceled it in Australia now. On to the US version now!
Just as I subscribed, you're taking a break. I'm still grateful for Watching Women and Girls. Blessings for you and the baby. I was cheated out of having kids so now I am very aware of just how precious it is.
The time has come! How wonderful! Wishing you, Mr M, and baby all the best! I'll be looking forward to new videos whenever you come back, but in the meantime I hope you can relax and enjoy this precious time. By the way, I got the 3 Franklin and Luna books (in Spanish!) for my twin cousins' birthday last month and they were very excited about them.
Congrats and enjoy the time with your little one! My baby is 16 months old now. 'Sleep when the baby sleeps' is often rubbish advice but I would advise to sleep whenever you get the chance, no matter what time of day it is, and keep lots of easy to grab pre-prepared snacks around, plus a huge bottle of water with like a sports cap (a twisty cap requires 2 hands to open so avoid that!). Have a great time with your new baby
Hi Jen, I’m watching this while up with my 9-week-old baby (sound off, grateful for the subtitles, please don’t wake up, baby!). I’ve been watching your videos for years, including a pretty grim period following a miscarriage in 2022, and they are always a calming distraction.i wish you all the best with your own little one. Remember that as cute as they are, socks are a total bust until about 8 weeks and then they suddenly fit and you’re wondering how your baby has the best feet in the world.
Enjoy the newborn phase, Jen! We'll be patiently waiting for you, don't worry about us, especially after knowing how deeply straining and difficult the IVF process was... Much love from me! ❤
Hope you have a safe delivery, and a wonderful time bonding with your child! I don't watch very many TV shows, but I watched Derry Girls recently and LOVED it. Looking forward to seeing you back!
Highly recommend Deadloch, an Australian series. It’s about a serial killer in a small town. The set up is a bit like a parody of similar genres but there’s a gender role reversal. It’s funny, a bit over the top at times. I think you’ll very much enjoy it. It’s on Prime in my region. I hope it’s available to you too. Wishing you well on your new adventure, Jen. So excited and happy for you. 💕
Seeing your bump reminded me of my own and the journey that we took to get there. Congratulations (again) to you and Mr M, sending you lots of love from me and mine, and thank you so much for these wonderful Sunday videos. 🩷✨
I just subscribed today. Good luck with everything, the only helpful thing I can say is put as many meals as you can in the freezer. It really helps to have nutritious food ready to go, when you are exhausted. Take care and rest.
Good luck Jen. Now you've articulated your plans be prepared to discard them. Newborns have a way of changing things. We'll be here when you're ready. Take your time.
When I didn't see (initially) a new upload from you today, I thought to myself "it must be time" and I sent a little good thought for you and the baby out into the world. I hope all goes as smoothly as possible, and I hope you can turn fully away from work, guilt-free, and just soak up the newborn time. We'll be here when you get back
So so happy for you! Enjoy all the newborn snuggles!
Sleep when baby sleeps..enjoy your newborn, but take good care of yourself ❤ wishing you well
That's my best advice, it might be helpful ❤
Close the doors, shut down the computer, unplug the phone, and get ready to fall in love. See you on the other side whenever you are ready. Those weeks are so precious. ❤. Lots of love 😘
