When I was pregnant i had a huge awakening realizing how crazy it is that I could look in the mirror and feel beautiful seeing my bump being pregnant, but couldn't see the beauty of my body before not having a flat stomach. That had to have been the wildest realization. It's sad our brains are so programed to see fat when we look in the mirror and have a little belly and don't see a flat stomach but when we are pregnant seeing ourselves start to show is so magical and beautiful. I hope I am explaining this good. I hope other women experience this realization too. It really helped me after pregnancy to appreciate my body and the changes it was capable of and be comfortable in my skin with a postbaby body!

[@cassiecrick4495]

I had the same experience! I'm five month postpartum and I love my body! Including my softer belly. I'm still 10 lb past my pre pregnancy weight and don't feel rushed to lose it. I'm so grateful for what my body created

[@laynajk22]

Continuing to pray for a happy, healthy pregnancy and (eventually) baby. Julia, you have been taking this pregnancy in strides and you make me love being a woman! (love you too Hunter)

[@hannahjo5189]

Thank you Julia so much for talking so openly about body image. I cannot tell you how much life it gave me. I’ve been struggling so much with this lately and no one talks about this. ❤

[@reztothecity]

The fact that Julia is 21 weeks pregnant and can go to 3 grocery stores, put the food away then cook dinner has me really feeling like the laziest person ever! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@LurdelizBatista]

And work out on top of it 😂

[@Rinney88]

Idk how old you are but I put it down to her age, makes me feel better anyway 😂. I could run circles around people until I turned 33 now I’m almost 35 and have zero energy. I also have a major chronic stomach Illness though.

[@brianalopez5875]

No disrespect to Julia because I love her but we can’t deny the truth that the reason why she has TIME/ENERGY to do all these things comes down to the fact that she is privileged (not her fault). Hunter is great support system (as he should be) and he takes care of a lot of their household things. Don’t forget She’s incredibly blessed to work from home. That’s something others don’t have the luxury to experience. So don’t be hard on yourself. You are not lazy … you just probably have a lot on your plate. ❤

[@sarahcowdrey9101]

@@brianalopez5875 how does privilege add time and energy to your day? Also I work from home and it's nice, DO NOT say luxury. you still work the same hours. don't fire back with a comment.

[@brianalopez5875]

@@sarahcowdrey9101 I also work from home and I also know what it’s like to work on site. It is a luxury compared to 1.3 million Americans who work in industries like warehousing that have to get up to work their 8 hours shift. The setup is different for everyone depending on the industry they work in. There are jobs that are harder than others. Each job has their own challenges. Being an influencer is not easy but also it’s a luxury compared to a regular Americans job. This was not intended to discredit the Hunters because I am a long time follower. However, it’s important to remind others of the reality that most of us live in the real world. So we are not so hard on ourselves when we compare our lives to an edited KZbin video.

[@kaitjackson2288]

Ms Julia you are really beginning to embody your motherly instincts. I love how you’re taking initiative on things, like an intuitive woman does! So inspiring ✨ It’s fun to watch you become even more realized as a female. Momma power for sure 🌸 Love it for you

[@allipatterson7249]

Love the pregnancy talk. I feel like I’m learning things that people don’t usually talk about.

[@brandied6594]

I can’t wait to see you guys as parents 💟 You both are glowing. The mention of the Traeger and the smirk every time.

[@UnicornPlanner]

The Traeger comment SENT me!! 😂😂😂 Also I just adore the heck out of you both!!! I loved how raw Mama Juj was at the end. She’s absolutely perfection. This era is the best one yet. Thanks for bringing us along on the best adventure of y’all’s life!! 💖

[@melindavictorson7973]

When Hunter said "or we could use the Traeger" and smiled at the camera...CLASSIC!

[@hlane3629]

It’s exciting to watch you go through the pregnancy process and see your body image and confidence grow. I didn’t realize how insecure I was before hand until I had my baby, and your confidence just goes through the roof.❤ you feel like Wonder Woman

[@Tera-Kay]

Pregnancy constipation is actually something that should be talked about . While I was pregnant I started having problems like you eventually got horrible hemorrhoids, not fun while giving childbirth . I ate incredibly healthy. It’s more of a chemistry of each one of our bodies. You’re smart to deal with it from the beginning. I’m so proud of you. You’re gonna be the best mom ❤

[@solangepaul]

Anybody else having anxiety with Juj throwing half the fridge away? 😂💗

[@paulapeeler3157]

Me too!... I was thinking what are you doing...lol Then I thought that it was left in the fridge after their trip And was spoiled... MAYBE!... 😂 Lol

[@kitsombke5644]

Lol yes!

[@NinaLon]

YESSSS!

[@twingzable]

What it's like to be rich and not think about food waste.

[@athinamazzaferro4654]

Omg yes-I was thinking the same thing! There was literally a huge piece of salmon and multiple containers of berries🤯🤯🤯 Before your berries go bad you can just freeze them for smoothies if you don’t think you can eat them all in time.

[@dorothygarcia6206]

Ok for gender reveal have the Starbucks crew present you with the gender color of cold foam 😂

[@crystalpowers5648]

Yes!

[@evelyngomez4968]

You made me tear up because 14 months ago I gave birth to my daughter and pregnancy for me was by far the most rewarding most beautiful magical experience!!! I had so many fears around it like you said , worries , Insecurities and self esteem issues . I remember being pregnant I would tell people feels like they gave me two of the best antidepressant and best drugs ever lol I was so so happy best time of my life !! Congratulations you look beautiful thank you for sharing with us your experience ❤

[@skylergalvin3907]

You make me so excited to be pregnant one day. I love the way you view your body now. You are so powerful! ❤

[@kristinahayes7783]

Let me tell you guys... I am not one to like comment on KZbin videos mid-video but here we are! Your whole brainstorming sesh at the like 15 minute mark had me soooo freaking engaged. I'm such a meal prep-er and foodie so totally enjoyed following along your guys train of thought haha okay continuing to watch the rest of the vid :p btw love you guys and hope you're doing well. Thanks for always showing up

[@MakeupbyAliciaE]

Enjoy heaps of wellness and pamper time Jules before the baby comes. Focus on your mental health and body image. Unfortunately after being a mum you go through alot of changes physically and mentally so if you are prone to anxiety it may escalate unless you prepare yourself and put in place good healthy mindset routines. Look after you self. Being a mum really brought me down to earth, not sweating the small stuff, how beautiful women’s body’s are and how powerful the gift of our body’s are to a newborns life.

[@karinagdistefano]

I’m pregnant right now too I’m only 10 weeks and I love all your pregnancy content . You’re also my favorite content creator ever! so watching you go through this journey while I am as well has put me in the best mood when you post 💕

[@jessieelliott9055]

Black and white photos with very little hints of baby pink or blue would be a cute idea too!

[@brandib72]

Oh juj.... I love that pregnancy is giving you the opportunity to let go of the image expectations we put on ourselves and just be. The kindness & grace you're feeling/giving to yourself is so sweet. 💗

[@caitlynberry4085]

My son is 10 months old. Totally has changed how I view my body. I loved my pregnancy body and felt like a beautiful goddess. Postpartum body changes have been harder for me personally. Stretch marks, breast feeding boobs.. I’m totally having to relearn how to dress myself.. but I’m oddly content with it? Like I know I look different now and I probably looked “better” before but my body is way more than how it looks. I appreciate my body much more than I ever did. I made, birthed and fed a human.

[@mj_ljx]

Ok looking forward to these vlogs. I’m in my first trimester feeling sick, ugly and just blah. Ugly because I’m so sick I just have no energy to get all cute and stuff. I have curly hair n Washing my hair is the worse right now. To see you thriving Julia just gives me so much hope. Thank you!! ♥️

[@catinahill995]

I'm just so happy y'all are back, I was getting worried bcuz I know y'all were traveling for the holidays and Juju being pregnant 😊💜

[@beatrizalvarez3914]

You can do a video of a photo shoot (like behind the scenes ) and start the video in black and white and then transition to the color revealing the gender 💗💙

[@BrooklynShan]

I’m surprised you guys don’t just do Hello Fresh! It makes life so easy. Julia, you are the most gorgeous pregnant woman!!

[@JoselineJimenez]

Love the long vlog! If there is anything I can recommend you take to the hospital when you go into labor it would be your pregnancy pillow, your own blanket and a robe! Game changer 🫶🏻 can not wait for May to see your beautiful little family xoxoxo

[@meganlane3781]

Girl don’t let the indulging and keeping yourself comfortable stop after pregnancy is over - we should always be indulging in what makes us cozy and comfy! Also, your Q&A was really revealing how much focus and stress you’ve had around your body so I’m glad you’ve moved away from that and hope that continues after pregnancy as well!

[@chrissy4934]

Im so happy for you both but so proud of Julia and how far you have come with accepting your body and the changes that comes with pregnancy. I will say though. You look stunning, healthy and happy and that is all positive for bubs and you make it look so easy, so lap it up! ❤

[@marybuck5946]

Keep trying the Miralax! It can take a few days/doses to kick in, but it WILL WORK & it won’t make your stomach hurt. I’ve tried all & it’s IT. Plus my preschoolers have all taken it since infancy. So grateful it works so well!

[@taylorrich]

So I never comment on any yt videos, but y’all are the absolute cutest! Couple goals for sure. The way y’all get excited together about a veggie bowl and both cleaning up after dinner❤ So sweet. Y’all have a good thing. God bless y’all and that sweet baby Havens. And Julia you look amazing!!!! I didn’t feel beautiful pregnant until I went back and looked at pics. Such an empowering moment as a woman and you are wearing it well! Greetings from Louisiana ❤

[@JuliaHunterHavens]

Thank you angel! We love you 😘

[@jamierenae3833]

Just a suggestion…maybe buy smaller amounts of food & just make more frequent trips to the store, that way you won’t waste as much. I started doing this because it’s just my husband & I & I hated how much we were just tossing.

[@kateantic1484]

I was SO hard myself pre pregnancy. I thought I was big and just not as attractive as I was. Now looking back I know how small I was and CRAZY to think I would always feel like I was never enough, or never fit enough. I had an amazing pregnancy and watching my body change through pregnancy made me realize that it’s ok to change, and the body will go through these phases. Post pregnancy I still had a hard relationship with my body but had to be much more forgiving. I had a slow and painful csection recovery, and going from being so active to nothing made me fall into a depression and I actually put on more weight AFTER the baby arrived then when he was in my belly LOL 😅 I’ve worked hard to work it back down which I have and now feel much more myself. Still changed, but more me. And this is all ok. Feelings will go up and down. Body relationship will go up and down. And it’s all OK!! You will feel yourself again, but with a much bigger appreciation for what your amazing body can do!!! Women are amazing.

[@makeupphaseswithmel]

I just had a still birth almost 2 weeks ago at 23 weeks. Was due Mother's day weekend but baby was doing so good that my doctor bumped up my due date. Even though babies and pregnant women are triggering for me right now, I still can't help but to be SO happy for you guys, watch and smile in excitement with you. Best of luck to you. 🤍

[@honeyimhome9341]

You both are glowing and you look great Julia! Pregnancy is beautiful! I remember being worried about all the things you mentioned about the weight gain and body image, but when that baby gets here you’ll look past all of that. Those things really are just the smallest thing. And I I’m not worried about it bc you will bounce right back in time. Take it easy and can’t wait to see more baby content. 😊

[@bellachristina92]

also I was dying laughing when Julia said "is this even focused" ... It was as if i had taken off my contacts and was watching the vlog.🤣🤣🤣

[@maddie1261]

Here to say I’m not pregnant but love the pregnancy content, will never get annoyed with it!!

[@colleenshea6925]

Please consider using re-usable cups (as opposed to "one-time-use throw away" cups) for every trip you make to Starbucks. I was very happy when you switched from plastic water bottles to permanent water bottles/thermoses. Thank you for your consideration.

[@shannabuller7212]

Hey Julia! I know you’ve been saying you’ve had some low back pain. I’m a prenatal chiropractor in California and I think it would be great for you to seek out a prenatal, Webster certified chiropractor in your area. Chiropractic during pregnancy helps decrease pain, decreases labor duration, and helps make sure baby has a ton of space to move around during utero.

[@beekay6020]

Girl I had that pillow , gave it away to family. The ikea cheap pillow is the best and my baby loves it now she’s here!

[@kiayacarterbrace]

Aww I really enjoyed this vlog ☺️ you're so beautiful inside and out Julia. You're going to be a wonderful Mum ❤️

[@cinthyabello1317]

Thanks for the reassurance. I have all those fears about getting pregnant and I just needed to hear it from someone else. ❤

[@Menuh2022]

Julia is so amazing. You get so much done and stay active while watching your food. That baby is going to be so healthy and happy to have you❤️🫶🏼

[@JeniLamberto]

That Pistachio foam cold brew thingy is absolute fire!

[@allinorman]

Love you guys❤ when hunter mentioned the trager i laughed out loud lol

[@SaydisLife]

Been missing these types of vlogs! Glad to have seen a new upload from you guys, been missing your vlogs altogether.

[@Pagingnursejackie]

Omg. I swear i was waiting for Hunter to mention that damn Traeger 😅😅😅😅

[@sethjohnson5401]

The typo in the title really sums up the stress of pregnancy!

[@luv2hiphop247]

That veggie couscous bowl looks 🔥. Can you share more details on the recipe for the dressing and the temp and cook time for the veggies?

[@Ceecee0311]

I’m here for this long vlog!! Yay! Hunter my go to is the the brown sugar iced shaken espresso. When pumpkin was around I’d add pumpkin cream cold foam on top… so good 🥰

[@HappilyeverHyde]

My fave drink ever 🫶🏼

[@georgedixon9863]

you look great - As a guy, I've always thought it's terrible how much women feel pressured to look at certain way. Focus on health & feeling well, the rest will fall into place. Take care and pamper yourself.

[@julssrodriguez]

Thank you for touching on body image! For me I feel like it isn’t talked about enough - I’m still trying to learn to love myself, hoping I can do it on my own but would loveeeee to see if conceiving would boost my confidence.

[@melissaveliz2838]

Just when I thought I couldn’t love you guys more, I find out you’re pregnant and I’m also pregnant!!!!! 28 weeks over here 🤪

[@madisonmarshall7567]

I love smooth moves tea! Fiber powder did nothing. Miralax works if you use it consistently (morning and night)

[@amandipa8368]

You guys are so cute with the protein chocolate muffin cup 😭🤎 really enjoyed this video, thank you for your honesty, transparency ( and sweetness )

[@shannonsauseda731]

Would be cute to do pics with Bookie wearing the gender color bow tie 😊

[@demeshiadavis]

Juj! Did you know that there’s a marchell the shell movie?! I think you’d love it since we’ve all literally started talking like it because of your love for it 😂

Love your honesty and realness j! And u look absolutely beautiful

[@aitawnabennett5577]

Only 11 weeks preg here but I totally relate with the whole body image talk. It’s been so nice to eat and nap whenever ☺️

[@jasminetoi2030]

Not having a tub is probably a blessing in disguise! Hot relaxing baths and saunas are not recommended 😢and it’s like the thing you need the most! I’m 29 weeks and can’t wait to do ALL the things lol

[@vanessahampton1111]

I love you guys, but I’m sorry I have to say this. It might be different in America? But when you were throwing out the food in fridge, with all the plastic. We recycle all that in Australia. We have two bins, one recycle and one food and crap. I take everything out of containers eg dips, fruit, berries etc and put packaging in recycled bin. We get fined if we don’t, our council checks bins at random some times. I watch a lot of people in America do it in vlogs 😣 Sorry had to say, I know you guys would do it if you have to. We have been conditioned and try to be more environmentally friendly. Sorry love you guys. What’s your thoughts? ❤❤❤

[@abbyandpreston]

Julia’s reaction to the cake/muffin lol love it.

[@Tkeough84]

Perfect timing on posting this blog. On my way home on Bart from SF back to the Valley! I still thinks it’s a boy💙🫶🏼 Ugh! I can’t wait for the reveal!

What a life, sleep, Starbucks, excerise, food. Have a nice day!

[@blairwarren5418]

Y’all will do fine with a new baby. Would recommend a cpr class especially for babies /toddlers. Ask around about diapers, they do have reusables with the pads and protection part for no leakage. You just throw them in the washer. Also, ask friends about a good pediatrician. You want to meet with them before delivering baby . Sometimes we research cars we want then picking out a good doctor. If you are going to breastfeed. Then you won’t have to ask pediatricians about formula. But if your not breastfeeding y’all can stock up on formula. The best little gowns for babies are the ones that zip at the bottom. So easy to change the diapers. Just unzip no Snaps. Get lots of them…. Y’all will love them especially at night. Get a sound machine for baby, it sounds like the womb. About a month before having little Heaven “Nevaeh” Haven start using it… then y’all will be use to the sound too. Oh, if it is a girl name her Nevaeh it is Heaven spelled backwards. Just a hint.

[@Alexandra-h1i]

Try the magnesium when you are craving chocolate that means you are magnesium deficient and if you are having constipation problems the magnesium will completely take care of that and it sounds like you might be lacking magnesium if you’re craving chocolate

[@susana2007]

Please don't apologize for being energetic and creative!!!! Dream those Dreams and make them happen!!! God came to give us life More Abundantly!!! So excited for the baby and the house plans....and love your constant efforts to be healthy and the best you can be. Can't wait to see how you announce the baby....I vote using Booker!!!!!!!!!

[@billiebrown9768]

Is it a reach for me to think it’s a girl with potential for the name Heavenly 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 HEAVENLY HAVENS a whole life vibe 🤣

[@Alexandra-h1i]

You guys should do some sort of really Hidden clues that are very hard to figure out but you can place them on any of your social media platforms and see if we catch on

[@j.c.1826]

I say Booker should reveal us the gender. 💗

[@annmariegiallonardo4852]

So well said, Julia! Surrendering (in a healthy way) and watching your body change, nourish and grow a new human is a magical experience! It has been many years since I was in the position you are in now and it is STILL my HAPPY place to go in my mind when I'm having a restless night...bravissima!

[@Dancewithloveforever]

I haven’t tried to guess, respecting when your ready to share but just so everyone knows: it’s a girl. The way Hunter said his potential “slip up” first and checked… it’s a freaking girl. I swear💖

[@meganc3090]

Julia, have you given much thought to actually giving birth? Whether you'll want to do with or without pain meds (if without pain meds, what relaxation methods youll use)? if baby is a boy, will you circumcise? Are you going to breastfeed? And No, I'm absolutely not looking for you to give ME any answers, I just want to bring these questions to your attention so you have time to research each thing and decide before the time comes. They are not decisions to be taken lightly (in my opinion). A birth experience is one you will remember for the rest of your life. I've given birth medicated and unmedicated. One girl, one boy. Breastfed for the last 3.5 years of my life. Breastfeeding has SO MANY health benefits for baby AND mama. I'd be happy to share my favorite resources I've learned from about all of these subjects if anyone is interested. They helped me tremendously to feel empowered and know that I was making the best decisions for myself and my baby. Anyway, much love ❤️ .

Be careful with using senna everyday. I had a doctor tell me once to only use senna when absolutely needed because your body can become dependent on it.

Totally agree with the body image talk! We have struggled with infertility and were so blessed with our IVF miracle - I LOVE pregnancy. I had truly never felt more beautiful than I did pregnant. It’s such an incredible experience and you learn how to truly appreciate your body. So happy for you! 😊
