LOL, love it! 😜
Jen. I just want to thank you for your complete honesty. Your authenticity and openness, especially about body image while being pregnant. I enjoyed the update on Baby Boy Ross. Many blessings to you and your family.
Jen, I have been watching you for over 5 years but have not commented. I just want you to know that I just love you and anything you share with us. You have a way of making people feel relaxed listening to you. You and Don are wonderful people. Looking forward to seeing your baby boy. Charlotte is so cute and looks so much like her daddy with a hint of you . IMO anyway. Thanks for sharing your life, you do a great job.

Thank you for your longtime support! 💕
You are carrying a precious gift, don’t ever worry about how you look. I think you look adorable. I never worked out with my two pregnancies except for walking. I waited till after my babies were born and took my time to lose the baby weight the healthy way. You will be fine.
Congrats Jenny. Just letting you know that you were one of the first KZreadrs I watched when I started watching videos. I remember when it was just you Don and Winnie and now you have two new additions. You have been an inspiration and now I'm making videos as well. Good luck love you much!
I found your channel when i was looking for shihtzu advice when i got my puppy (8 years ago.) I remembered you posted pregnancy content and im feeling again, SUCH AMAZING SUPPORT from you. Im 21 weeks pregnant now and its my first pregnancy im 35yrs old. Its amazing how much help ive received from your content. Im so grateful. Thank u so much.
Enjoyed the video. You are glowing. Relax, why are you worrying about thighs, you're having a baby!!! A baby boy!!! Enjoy this time, you are a beautiful, smart, intelligent woman.....you can always fix your thighs.

Awe, thanks for sharing. And I'm so sorry that you are struggling with a few things this pregnancy. I'll say a prayer for you and baby!
You look absolutely gorgeous. So glad to see that you are so much "calmer" this pregnancy. Thank you for sharing. I have missed your podcast from before life got very busy for you in a wonderful way. Sending big squeezy hugs your way.
Girl I'm 11 weeks and the nausea is about to kill me! I'm so happy to hear yours lifted at 14 weeks and gives me hope!!!! Congrats on such a sweet blessing!
I always say that one of the biggest blessings of having a high risk pregnancy is how many ultrasounds you get 😌 and, I actually really enjoy the NSTs because you basically sit and relax for about a half hour and listen to your baby's heart beat...love it!! ❤
Jen, you do look wonderful! I love watching your updates! With my last baby, my last trimester I had horrible heartburn. Whenever I bent over is when it started. You need to do whatever you need to do for yourself first in order to be a good mother and wife! 💕
Wonderful and interesting video Jennifer.....thanks....it's such an exciting time for you all ! So thankful everything is going well. Prayers for Don's back.
So glad your feeling better. And I'm glad your not worrying so much with this one. Your doing so great, its so exciting. Thanks four taking the time out of your busy life to share.
That's great news! I'm so happy for all of you. Love, love, love!! :)))
Love your updates! I was 4 weeks behind you with my baby boy when you were carrying CC and found your updates a life saver, now I'm 10 ahead of you with a baby girl, so love that I can follow along again. Best of luck!
I don't think you over did it with Charlotte 😊 I loved all of your viedos, and I miss your mama updates

Thanks so much for sharing Jen. I know this is such an exciting time for you and your family. Enjoy every minute of it!! You look so happy!! Looking forward to seeing the nursery when its done and of course your new little boy
I loved all your sharing last pregnancy and am super excited youre sharing this one!
I know how you feel about the thigh thing. On the one hand you know you need to gain weight for pregnancy but on the other hand you can’t help but feel bothered. It’s ok to feel both. Excited for you and your growing family!
Jen, I love you videos and have been watching you from the start of your channel. I never comment but to day I felt compelled to do so. After much thought I finally decided to start my own "mommy life" channel. Ahhhh! Thanks for motivation!
So glad to hear all is going well. Very happy for you and your family.
I am so glad you did weekly bumpdates with Charlotte bc I’ve been going back and rewatching them, as I’m pregnant with baby #2 as well!! I enjoyed this video as well, thanks for sharing Jen!
Love this and love your honesty! Thanks for sharing.
Love your updates!! I am 5 week behind you and its just fun to see how someone else is doing during their pregnancy! You look beautiful!
You are just awesome! Thank you for the update 🙏🏼 Take good care ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hearing you say 'baby' throughout the video has me excited for the name reveal! I'm so glad you're feeling better Jen and to hear that the baby is healthy. Can't wait to see your family complete, best wishes as always!
Love your baby updates Jen! You are glowing and look so pretty !! The bump is especially cute on you and don't worry about weight at all .....plenty of time for getting back the pre baby body....enjoy every second of this pregnancy!! You are doing great and I love every video you do about this precious time. It is all so exciting as I am a longtime follower and am so so happy for you and Don!!
I have 3 children. With each pregnancy it gets harder. My 2nd pregnancy was the hardest on my body and hardest to recover from. I worked full time during my first pregnancy and yet being home with my 2 year old pregnant was harder! Rest when you can and be easy on yourself! You got this!
You look great, so happy for you guys! Happy to see all is well.
Pregnancy is amazing & very tough! Fortunately there is a wonderful gift at the end. Congrats on reaching the half way mark x
SOOO happy for your family!! Always love any update you do and excited for all future ones ;) Enjoy every moment.
Awwwww congratulations on baby number 2 it’s been a long time since I’ve watched but I was catching up today and it’s so wonderful to see this.... and yes every pregnancy is so different and I have had 5 children so far and everyone has been completely different. I wish you all the best in this beautiful time 💜💜💜🎉🎉🎉
thanks for sharing Jen....your family is precious!
Jen wow time is flying with your second pregnancy. I'm so excited for you and your family. I always enjoy your vlogs. You have such a beautiful and friendly heart. Sending well wish's to Don in regards to his back struggles. I have 2 kiddos myself and can relate to what you have discussed. Like you said overall as long as baby and mama are healthy everything else is secondary, as time passes you will find everything will be just fine I promise. Thanks for sharing your journey and can't wait to meet baby boy Ross.
Hi Jen... Sit-entary too cute! So glad you are staying healthy and focus. I aappreciate you sharing your life, family and conditions!
OMG! I haven't watched in like forever. I can't believe that you are having another baby. Congrats!!
You look beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us. Miss seeing your more frequent vids! You are my favorite KZreadr for sure. :)
I had prenatal and postpartum depression with three of my five kids. It's normal. Thank you for sharing!
You look great, Jen. You're glowing. Loved the video!
So excited for you! You had Charlotte the same time as our first grand little and now your second one will come with our second only we will have twins!!! :) You glow through your pregnancies and are beautiful. Love seeing little Charlotte, thanks for sharing, blessings, g
great to hear pregnancy progressing quickly and healthy :) thanks for sharing ❤️
Glad everything is going well, thanks for the update! He will be here before you know it, so exciting to see CC as a big sister! Take care of yourself..and think nice and happy thoughts instead of focusing on the little bit of extra weight! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So nice to hear about you and Baby. It brings back so many of my memories. I too was 35 when I had my daughter. Glad you are both well Jen. PS...you look wonderful!!!xoxo
Thanks for sharing, Jen! Can't wait to meet baby boy! :)
So dang happy 😊 for you and your beautiful family!! God bless Jen!! Lots of love ❤️
So happy for you, Jenn! 💜
You are so beautiful Jen! You have a great mindset about gaining weight. I feel the same way and this baby #4 for me. I'm a long distance runner (how I originally found you years ago!) and it's hard to cut myself some slack. You've got this. You're amazing!
I really enjoyed your weekly updates when you was pregnant with CC! hope for some more with this baby! And in that belly shot you look just great and not huge! You don't have what to worry about!
Eek! Times flies doesn't it? You are such a lovely lady. You really uplift me!
So excited for your family! Not long now, You are doing good on the video side of things =)
I had to laugh when you said you craved cheddar cheese cubes. When I was pregnant with my 3rd son, I ate an entire bag of cheese cubes at work one day. By the evening I started getting horrible pains, which really felt like I was miscarrying. I was terrified and went to the ER. The baby was fine, but the doctor told me never to eat that much cheese in one setting again. Oh my, what a night that was. 😂 I can laugh about it now.

Oh no! Too much of a good thing 😳
You look so good! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
I was "older" too when I had my son back in 2009. I had gestational diabetes with him, and it came back 3 mths after he was born. :( You look awesome! Don't worry about it. :) I've watched you from the beginning. It's always a pleasure to see your videos pop-up in my feed. Take care! ♡♡♡
ahhh so exciting!! Stop apologising for the length of your video's, we clearly love it !!! Xx
Love it!!!! I’m so excited for your family!!!
So glad your having a good pregnancy, minus the heartburn, I never had that with my boys but I did have a lot of aversions with food. You look great Jen, so healthy and glowing!
Can't believe you're already half way there! Time is flying sooooo fast :O
So good to hear that all is going well so far. The tiredness is to be expected. I remember it so well. If you could work in just 5 mins. of yoga & breathing, that can help tremendously. Much love & continued good health throughout the rest of this phase of your life.🙏🏼
You look great! Thank you for sharing! He's going to be (he is) a handsome boy! Congrats again!
I missed this video! Saw the page in your bujo about it and had to come and find it 💕
You are looking amazing! So happy baby boy is doing great!!! I just turned 35 & baby less lol hope get one going soon... Maybe 😂 excited for the next update!!
You're beautiful Jen! Don't be so hard on yourself and be proud of your body, you're growing a sweet baby boy and that's pretty badass!! ❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼🦄🦄
Glad you are doing well! Hope the heartburn lets up soon! Cute bump profile:)
Jen, you seem beautiful inside and out! Hoping the rest of your pregnancy goes well :-)
I'm your biggest fan and I'm so happy for the both of you darlin
So happy for you and your family ❤️
Aww jen hate that you’ve been having low self esteem with your body image. You are utterly gorgeous and you have an amazing figure. Your carrying a beautiful baby and your so determined that when the time is right I know you will do what you need to to get yourself feeling confident again 💗
Everything you have said is soo what I have experienced this pregnancy too!
All the very best with the rest of the pregnancy.

Ah Jen you are such a pretty girl inside and out! I've always admired your natural beauty:) don't get down on baby body changes.Take care of yourself and all that small stuff can be changed later. I know you know this, but sometimes we need a reminder how enchanting we are:)
Congrats I followed your journey with charlottes pregnancy and I’m so happy to hear you’re pregnant once again
You're gorgeous Jen. But I know the feeling. I was on bedrest with my daughter from 12 weeks on and this is the most I have ever weighed. I have been nursing and I am not losing weight like everyone claims happens but I feel like I am gaining cause I am starving. Well, my grandma told me don't worry about that, feed baby and when I am done then diet. You're doing great ! You look gorgeous and I am so excited for you. I do have to say my boy pregnancy was much more problematic and strange symptoms over my girl even being on bedrest lol. I am wishing you a wonderful last few months and may everything go smoothly.
Thanks for the update. You look great. I know that’s easy for me to say. Thought I was the only one who puts any extra weight on directly to their thighs. Lol. Just remember...I believe you said at some point after you had Charlotte that your weight went down lower than where you started. You’ll get there again. You’re always disciplined when it comes to taking care of yourself. Your days sound so full. Don’t know how you find time for sharing with us so thank you. Hope things continue to improve for you.🐶💕

It did but then it crept back up as breastfeeding got easier. I started out 2 pounds lighter with this pregnancy than the last one, so basically the same!
Heartburn = baby with hair. I am so excited for you. Congratulations.
You look great! Hoping the rest of the pregnancy goes a little easier for you
Wow!!! Seeing the 3D...It’s Little Donald...for that tiny view of your ultra sound....you can See His Dads Face💙💙 So Happy for You All❤️💕💙💙

Totally! I figured he'll be a mini me of Don ;)
Don't be so tough on your self you are amazing
I can never get too much of your videos, so don't worry 😜
Love updates! Wanted to share something that helped me with heartburn during all three of my pregnancies. You may want to look into if for yourself, but I ate candied papaya everyday to keep heartburn at bay. And noticed it would flare up when I didn't (like if I ran out for a couple of days) you can take papaya enzyme in capsule form, but the candied papaya was a nice little treat for me and worked just a well. Look into it and good luck, HB is miserable!
I have acid reflux normally but when pregnant it is horrid. You can take Zantac over the counter. It is safe during pregnancy and works better than just tums. Feel better 🙂
I am 24 weeks along and I feel so similar to how you feel. Not loving meats or eggs and really bad heartburn, I sip sparkling water and eat bananas and that keeps the heart burn manageable. But i feel you on the feeling of being really tired that is something I have been struggling through throughout my pregnancy.
I enjoyed your baby updates :)
I'm 11 weeks and it started a few weeks ago where I'm constantly hungry. I'm now at the point where I can't eat much in one sitting but I need to keep eating throughout the day (still always hungry) or else the huge wave of nauseousness kicks in.
Thanks for sharing Jen. I personally think you look beautiful! I don't think you overdid it with Charlotte, but I'm sure all first time moms do. I was recently helping my mom go through pictures and I was horrified at how many pictures she had of mine. I kept apologizing-lol. He's now in his 20's so since she couldn't do it I tossed a bunch of them =) I remember having heartburn so badly in my last trimester that I had to sleep in a recliner. It was a horrible feeling so I know how bad you must feel. And just FYI a physician who takes care of the mom during a 'high risk pregnancy' is called a perinatologist and usually has at least two more years of training than a regular OB. ( I should know because I helped my ex get through those years-ha!) . Glad everything is going well for you and your family!!
Thanks for sharing, Jen. 💜 That acid reflux is a killer. I had it bad with my 2nd pregnancy, and it has stuck around.
Wishing you the best.
I love all your pregnancy updates!! 😊 I suffered terribly with heart burn with my last 2 babies. I could not do dairy, broccoli, apples, juices, or larger meals. The apple cider vinegar made it worse faster☹️. Zantac was the only thing that saved me. Sometimes I had to take it twice a day. It's terrible to suffer, especially when chasing a toddler! Best of luck!!
What happened to those bracelets with the beads you used to wear to remind you to drink water? maybe those would help again
Sooo happy happy happy for you❤️
Baby boy has his daddies noise :-) so adorable
Thanks for sharing your pregnancy with us! I struggle with acid reflux too. Usually it's not bad, however, when I get the horrid burning acid coming up my throat I will take a spoonful of baking soda along with some water. Within 2-3 spoonfuls it instantly reduces that fiery sensation and counters the acid. Of course, it will cause a little belching, but hey it's so worth it! Sounds like you're making good choices on how to avoid it though.
Jenn I think the tired thing is what happens with boys. With both of my boys I was exhausted all the time. With my daughter I had a ton of energy. Maybe it's just a coincidence idk. Glad you and baby are healthy and all is going well. ❤️
Hi its nice to here you are doing good. Take care ☺
Your glowing just like you did with CC. I don't think your thighs look so big you are perfectly proportioned in the way you are caring the baby bump I think. But congratulations he is going to be adorable for sure, in the quick glimpse we got to see in the picture you showed of his ultrasound. Congratulations Jen to you and the family once again.💞
Coconut water really helped me!! And still does to this day! Health Love and Happiness Always, Jen !!
A teaspoon of yellow mustard helps with heartburn! Little hard to get down but helps. Hope that helps
Radiographer! You look very well, so glad all is going as it should :)
Take care f yourself and enjoy. So happy for you all.
You look so great! Glad it's going well.
