I’m pregnant with baby #2 and my toddler is 15 months and it’s soooo tiring being in this season of life! This is the most relatable video ever! Thanks for being real

[@andwedanced7355]

I would love a video/short where you talk about how you prioritize exercise as a working mom! I think it's incredible that you do and I want to get into a routine myself. It also seems like you and Matt have a good balance of giving each other time off to workout/workout together.

[@gamblekatie]

I’d love to see a get ready for baby #2 video! Items you’re reusing, what you may do differently, etc. Love your videos!

[@surlespasdondine]

When I was pregnant with baby number 2, I kept saying "it will be easier to have a 3 year old and a newborn than an (almost) 3 year old while being pregnant" and people told me no, that it would be harder. But honestly it was so much easier having two kids but not having to be pregnant anymore.

[@jordanphillips8007]

Happy to hear this while having contractions with my second, first is 27 months

[@corrinathompson5039]

Agree! It was harder being pregnant with a 1 year old than having a 1 year old and a newborn lol but I mean let’s be real I’m still tired haha but now they are 2 and 3 soooooooo that explains enough 😂

[@byoung8393]

Agreed!

[@ashhhh4975]

Agreed!

[@pvxxlife06]

Agreed!!

[@missmimikey8458]

I’m currently pregnant with twins, and having almost 2 year old baby, OmG! I can’t wait to be done, this is more then I can chew. Can’t wait for my parents to arrive!

[@ariannytorres1024]

You already know we want all the videos of this pregnancy 🤰🏼😻

[@camillasawyer654]

What you're saying about second pregnancies is so relatable. Im in my second trimester right now and I am exhausted all the time. I thought when I hit the second trimester I would have more energy, but I dont. Thanks for making these videos, it makes me feel more understood.

[@shinetotalwellness]

Yup, 17 weeks with a 23 month old and wow. It makes my first pregnancy seem ridiculously easy to say the least! Every single day is like an endurance event that you're massively undertrained for lol.

[@crydal12]

I would love to see a nesting video :) also I hope you get bursts of energy soon! 😊

[@brittanychanelle]

“You either cry or you laugh” - that is definitely motherhood for me 😅

[@kriiisstiiine]

HAHA Sage trying the coffee face is soooo funny!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I know lol its probably a good thing she didnt like it. I wouldnt have let her take a sip if it was real coffee. She doesnt need the energy

[@taylorjohnson2633]

Also 28 weeks pregnant with a 23 month old! I feel everything in this video to the core lol! You got this mama 🎉💛

[@adriennepj]

Omg same! Pregnant with a 2 year old. I’m so tired most days. But everything you said in this video - is spot on lol

[@HealthNutNutrition]

glad Im not alone!

[@TaneshaSunflower]

🤣 I love how real your videos are! 🥰

[@aimeerosen8799]

Oh my gosh this was sooo validating down to the having to spell out park because, toddlers! Pregnant with number 2 and my daughter is just a couple months younger than sage and I’m exhausted allll the time!

[@megan3668]

Sage is such a good helper in the kitchen, and I’m sure she’ll one day look back fondly on these memories with her mama! And you know those same haters would come after you for being selfish/neglectful of Baby #2 if you weren’t working out. Just keep living your life!

[@thriftgirlshopper]

I am currently 40 weeks pregnant with #2, and I was in awe of how you could squat down to take off Sage’s shoes 😂 Keep working out so you can do that when your due date comes!

[@stephaniecooper2215]

Also pregnant with a 2 year old- so tired! You are doing great girl. Love and miss blogs! Yes to baby #2 prep 😊

[@stephaniecooper2215]

Vlogs***

[@annjames1837]

Nikole, I always enjoy your videos. You are definitely one of my favorite families on KZbin 😊

[@sarahmac8825]

I want all the vlogs 😂 the nesting, prepping, just everything you feel like doing.

[@andrealee5567]

Love the update thanks for sharing and being so real Nicole. Rest, have good workouts, enjoy Sage and being pregnant. You and Matt are doing a great job rolling with life, it’s hard for sure and beautiful! And seriously the 2 year 😂 is so fun and so exhausting! One day at a time bless you and your babies and Matt y’all are holding it down!

[@junevesuzuki8061]

Girl!! I just love this vlog. Been following you for over two years since preggo with my first. Had my second baby almost 5 months ago. I am just relating to this video so much. Being pregnant with baby 2 most of all during the 3rd trimester was so exhausting.

[@ftmbytalita]

It’s so hard, you don’t really get the luxury to rest anymore like you did the first time. Sending lots of energy your way❤

[@viannklaus3086]

Ughhh, I have never related more! I have a 2 year old and was pregnant with you during your first pregnancy and now I’m pregnant again and in my first trimester. I feel like I relate to you on so many levels! The first trimester has been SO tough. I don’t want to rush pregnancy but I also am just having a hard time overall. I know in my mind, this is all just temporary and soon I’ll be like where did the time go?!

[@justynagiemza7333]

Oh I know what you’re talking about! I have a 1 year old and I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant. We are making house renovation and moving soon. I’m working from home and I’m absolutely exhausted! feel like summer is flying by.

[@MindfulMovement12]

My daughter is Sage's age and when I watch this i laugh its so relatable! Super cute and its a real life update.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

such a fun age

[@raeesarashid7678]

Omg the words nap! My two year old has stopped napping and you are so lucky sage still does!

[@annazilar8932]

SAAAAAAMMMEEE "here play with the nipple covers" is probably the most relatable thing I have ever seen/ heard. I am also pregnant with a toddler. I'm 15 weeks and my kiddo just turned 2 and the exhaustion is REAL. Hang in there, you got this 💕

[@etak332]

Yes to nesting video! I'm 23 weeks and already feeling the nesting mode coming quickly! ❤

[@exploringespadrilles6803]

Can totally relate!! Currently pregnant with baby #2 while with my 22 month old son! Thankful we are now having a girl and our family is complete after she is here! I enjoy the outcome of pregnancy more than being pregnant. Lol

[@divyanagarajan2017]

When you said Matt took the girls to the pearkay I was like what and had to rewind.. realized you spelled out PARK hahahah lol it's like treat with the doggo, can't say it out loud😂😂😂

[@abbym907]

Love these real Day in the life’s ☺️ 24 weeks pregnant with #2 and a 2 year old and it’s so realistic, thank you 💗

[@kennalouiseco]

I’m 24 weeks with #2!! My daughter will be 2 in October and oh my gosh I can’t wait until she’ll have her sister to entertain her 😂

[@jingweima2077]

Ignore the haters! The most important thing is caring for yourself and the loved ones. You are great!!!❤

[@minniemouszie154]

Thankyou so much this is so relatable! Currently in my second trimester and my daughter just turned two. I like it how we are again pregnant in the same period. I feel so tired all the time. And I really dont feel the support from my husband.

[@johnnahdalfonso3606]

I have not watched your videos in awhile but you look so radiant and amazing, I just gotta say. Hope I can rock it like you in the future. Just got one kiddos right now

[@bee4short]

I’m so thankful someone else is experiencing the same things I am! Where is that second trimester energy burst I was so fond of last time?! Second pregnancy and I am SO tired!

[@raychelmcbride8965]

You are the real MVP… I would need one baby in daycare at least part time during the day. 😂 Please share any and all organization videos as you prepare for baby #2 ❤

[@trestacyjohnson1822]

Do we know baby #2’s gender?!? I’m so excited to see you share more nesting and getting nursery ready for another sweet baby!! Thanks for being real online! Love you!!

[@TJ-fk1xx]

I’m 29 weeks pregnant with a 19 month old 😅 we have our good days and bad. Sometimes I am so tired I can’t give my all to being the best mom and other days it’s better. It also doesn’t help when people say “you just wait until you have 2 kids.”

[@transformationbyangie]

I feel you on all of this! So relatable

[@aureliestromboni6683]

25 week-end with my second, yes please shear a reset and nesting video. Feel you with the fatigue 😅

[@laurens3598]

Also being pregnant in 2020 and it is so different this time around, being out and about with my friends has been so nice for people to actually see me pregnant, but man so much more tired and 2.5 year olds energy has no bounds, I can't wait to lay on on the couch most nights. I am almost 39 as well so everything seems to feel sore at some point in the day! So fun to be going through this journey along side you, I am due Mid November!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I feel you girl! And yay for fall babies

[@sonaalkhanna5101]

Hey, Could you make a vlog where both you and Matt are sharing responsibilities of house and Sage. We see less of Matt but I am sure he does a lot in the background .It will be nice to see. A viewer since 2020.❤

[@alexisabrew5707]

I’m *surprise* pregnant with a 9 month old, and boy I’ve never been so tired in my life 🤪 Truly love your videos!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I can completely relate! I thought I would kick the fatigue during the second trimester but it only got worse

[@aislinggibson4750]

Yes, second pregnancies are very humbling. You look fantastic! You can, are and will do it! Xo

[@hilarybilary9145]

Love seeing the vlog! I am currently 34 weeks pregnant with baby #2. Baby #1 turns two tomorrow. I totally feel you about the exhaustion lol

[@emccrac01]

lol I’m the same right now. Pregnant and due in 10 days with my second, and taking care of a 2.5 year old. I have to nap almost every day or I feel like I can’t function. I was anticipating that second trimester burst of energy too, and it never came. 😭 We got this though! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@carolinemikolajczyk4151]

Love this vlog ! So honest, thank you so much for your honesty Nikole ❤️

[@pamelaq6185]

Poopoo to whoever made the snide remark about you working out! You are doing something healthy and good for you and baby. Come labor, all that working out is going to pay off. Sage is such a joy, she is going to be an amazing big sis. 💛

[@selinaradinardi4996]

I'm also pregnant (30 weeks) with a 2 year old, i'm so tired. We didn't do anything for baby nr 2, i feel like i don't have the energie. You doing a great job ❤

[@cynthiamendoza332]

Wow perfect timing. My exact situation right now.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

so happy we can be in this together 😅

[@kingdomhealthwellness]

I'm so sorry someone said you were selfish for taking care of your body. It's so normal to need more rest in pregnancy. You work full time, cook nutritious meals, and have a toddler. You are a rockstar. I hope that person's comment didn't get to you. Hey Nikole, are you doing any adrenal cocktails? Your minerals might be low, which can contribute to the extra fatigue. Doing 2-3 a day might be really helpful. I know you need a lot more potassium in pregnancy. Have you had an HTMA? That might be something to consider with a practitioner.

[@kaitlyndillard3055]

I was exhaustedddddd with my second as well.

[@jusstpeachy3136]

Love your videos 🤩 I was looking forward to a new one. I would also love to see a nesting video ♥️ I am currently pregnant with baby #3 & feeling that exhaustion 😅 Praying for you guys, you both are doing a great job!

[@jaeradavila8520]

It’s so adorable when you show Sage’s “bed hair” ☺️

[@HealthNutNutrition]

The little curls get me every time 🥺

[@14522624]

Weekly reset & nesting video ❤️

[@shawnarudolph8824]

Yes please do a nesting video! I hope that restfulness finds you soon! I too remember being told that my nausea would go away in the second trimester but it wasn't true for me. I was nauseated most of my pregnancy with my girl. My unsolicited and unasked for advice is PEPPERMINT. Even just chewing mint gum or keeping mints on hand. So excited for you guys ❤

[@mc5366]

Nicole, you crack me up! ignore the haters, people always need to interject their opinions. Sage is beautiful and you and Matt are doing great! #Baby2👶🍼💛

[@supergirlll]

You're amazing! Mad Respect! Pregnant while caring for a toddler is rough! But you're doing awesome! Also, please make a video about potty training Sage & gender reveal for Sage's sibling.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

thank you!! the support and kindness is so appreciated 🥰

[@MaplesyrupCA]

"Here play with my nipple covers" is the most mom sentence I've ever heard.. my one year is is now becoming a real toddler and omg I'm like "HERE TAKE THIS" to distract her, especially while I'm cooking dinner 😂

[@ninarechin2531]

Yes!!! Nesting video!!!! Organizing all the things!!

[@autismenlightenment]

I love Sage. She only 3 months older than my daughter so they are similar in funny ways.

[@monikacourtemanche6031]

I have really enjoyed your video you Should do a nesting video Getting ready for baby number 2

[@cassieleefryeklund5623]

Yes, please do a reset or nesting video. We are debating having a 2nd

[@YR-vz9ew]

I clicked so fast haha I missed your vlogs❤❤ You’re doing amazing Nikki!!!

[@vanessamiller1126]

[@yeislyntorres5304]

Omg me too!! Im exhausted! I have a 2 1/2 year old and 31 weeks pregnant

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thank you for the kindness 🥰

[@analopez4277]

Baking with my 2 year old is exactly like this. To the “T” 😂💕. So adorable!

[@krystyna1993]

The only days I feel alive is when our nanny come and I go for work Being pregnant with toddler is something 😂

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I know right? I love how work is the break

[@Mamacierra1996]

I would love to see a getting ready for baby number two video to see what kind of things you would use with this baby that you didn’t use with Sage or vice versa things that you thought you would need, but really weren’t necessary or you didn’t use them that often

[@brittanywhite4016]

I love a reset video! I need to work on this too

[@natalieleach8957]

I can relate! Currently 36 weeks with baby #2 and trying to keep up with a 2 year old….tired is right! Btw, so excited for the toddler cookbook…any update on a release date by chance?

[@tjasagrasic6469]

yes to the reset and nesting videos! 😁😊

[@Cozychaii111]

You’re doing amazing mama!

[@cmf38]

Hahah I love Sage’s reaction to the bug ! Just like her momma 😂

[@morganpierpont]

So fun to watch a vlog from you! 💗

[@HealthNutNutrition]

So happy to be creating them! I was a little rusty but excited to be back

[@laurastewart7879]

Haha the making the drink scene reminds me so much of me and my son 😂he wants to do every.single.step and would do endless spoons of coffee if I left him haha thanks for the update, lovely to see as always 🥰

[@SS-cu8se]

Can you please do a video on how you manage to keep your kitchen decent? Because mine looks like a hurricane everyday lol. What steps do you take to have somewhat of a presentable kitchen?

[@caitlynnmae2475]

Hey just wanted to say love your channel. You may want to look into stevia and it’s impact on pregnancy and fertility. Have a blessed day!

[@katieyetter1223]

I would love to see you declutter. As a mom of Littles the collection of stuff is insane

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Yes could be a great idea for a video

[@PuddleOfSalad]

A weekly reset video would be great :)

[@carolemantha8958]

❤ wow you look beautiful Nikole !!love your little girl Sage!! Hi Matt!! Take good care you guys!! ❤😊

[@andrealee5567]

Also yes I’d love a nesting baby #2 and organizing video whatever you wanna do I’d love to watch it.

[@Sam-le4gl]

I've never related to an intro so much. Especially the bug...we live in Hawaii and bugs are everywhere all the time.

[@teachernatalieandrade8906]

I loved this vlog and I am here wishing you all the best. I related to much with everything

[@teachernatalieandrade8906]

So* much

[@TaylorParnell]

WHO ELSE LOVES NICOLE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@suziewinchester803]

Bless you and your family gorgeous girl 💕🙏 Don’t waste your time even addressing the negativity, it’s exactly what they’re waiting for 😡.

[@cjsanchez67]

I had irish twins and now have 2 toddlers (1&2) and am also in my second trimester... i feel you girl but i swear its making my pregnancy go by so fast. Also started decluttering everything and im just getting rid of everything! Lol. Lots of love girl❤

[@HealthNutNutrition]

The decluttering has really been helping feeling more prepared

[@jenniferbergman820]

Where did you get your comforter? I love the color and design.

[@jvalentine82]

I totally cracked a mason jar pouring hot coffee into ice. So sad! Please be careful though. Love your videos 😊

[@Mahehmehta123]

You are doing great. keep going!

[@ksliceenterprises9258]

A fun easy game to play where you can just sit is Hide and Seek with kid / dog. Kid goes hide and then you call your dog and say “where’s Sage?” they go off sniffing and will go to find them. Repeat 😂

[@NikkiScatch84]

Hope you’re doing ok! ❤

[@madison.j.bowers]

This is so real, my second pregnancy flew by and I have never been so tired hahah

[@youdid5621]

Only being pregnant the third time I was even more tired. 😂😂😂

[@yanita2201]

Hi Nikole!!! Does the coffee substitute you drink every morning give you energy ? Or just taste like coffee? Needing some energy now pregnant with baby number 2 so want to know if this helps or not!!

[@Theherbalempress]

I'm pregnant with a one year old and will have 2 under 2 for a little bit and i am beyond grateful that I only work about 10 hours a week while being a SAHM otherwise i would be dead tired

[@Jessie90ish]

Oooof I’m getting tired just watching lol My sons about to be 2 soon and we are going to try for #2. And I’m not looking forward to all that toddlerhood and pregnancy has to offer with a headstrong energetic little boy. But what you said it so true. You don’t want to wish it away because then you’re simultaneously wishing away 9 months of HER life. Hard stuff. Perfect video to show that lol😅 PS make sure you force that nap if you need to!!!
