I’m an IVF baby turning 28 this year. Back when they implanted multiple embryos, so I have a twin brother who is my best friend! I’m so happy for you, Jaci. Your sweet baby will be so incredibly loved 💖

[@taluolr]

me too!!!!!

[@maartjedannenberg4056]

I literally GASPED when I saw this title... I am SO unbelievably happy for you Jaci! wishing you all the best and a healthy pregnancy!

[@itzelllewelyn3347]

When I noticed all your mutual friends announcing their pregnancies it made me wonder how Jaci was feeling. I’m sorry for the hard journey you went through but so incredibly happy for you and Leif! Now you get to be pregnant with all your besties ❤

[@carolineerb9871]

Jaci, you and Leif documented your IVF journey so well through your KZbin videos. Your friendship with Chelsey is so special and having babies grow up together will be the best!

[@jullmm678]

I’m having an unexpected pregnancy that has had me really angry and sad. I want to tell you that following your journey has truly made me grateful that I was able to create a life so easily. It’s so easy for me to get trapped in a negative mindset of “life isn’t fair” and “this wasn’t supposed to happen this way” but you have had a huge impact on how I view everything in this situation now. Life is so precious and I’m so proud of you for going above and beyond to create a family. Love you always Jaci. ❤️

[@Howto2015]

It's crazy to actually watch you guys instead of listening. I found the pod back in 2019 and have listened consistently ever since, so it feels weird to see you in action haha. Also love how excited Jaci looks at the start of the video-congrats girl!

[@HaileyHinz]

I already listed to the entire pod, but watching on yt now to support the valley girls!! CONGRATS JACI I'm sooo unbelievably happy for you 😭😭😭😭😭

[@sevohnalexis]

same lol

[@KristinW1]

Crying watching this. I am currently pregnant right now through IVF. It’s such a hard journey and so painful. You are so amazing Jaci! Watching your KZbin series I feel so connected to the journey you went through. Thank you for always being so open and sharing your story 💕 You are already the best mom!! Congrats to you and Leif!

[@allisonott267]

OMG IMAGINE A BIG WWS NEON SIGN ON THE BACKDROP!!! SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU, JACI 🪽✨

[@dhacker_]

I just lost a baby on Sunday, it seems as though everyone else around me is pregnant and it makes me so so happy for them. It's such a conflicting feeling the grief and excitement for others. It's a hard place to be in. But, watching your journey for years and listening to your Pod has helped a lot! I'm so proud of how you've kept going despite all of the set backs in your pregnancy journey you're not going to be come a great Mother, you're a great Mom already.

[@oppsendless3814]

I am so sorry for your loss. I've had three miscarriages so I know the pain. I hope you get your baby soon.

[@alysonf4698]

my husband and i have been going through infertility for over a year, had a miscarriage in Oct. i've been finding it hard to keep going. needed this ep so much today. thank u and congratulations jaci!

[@caylawest2068]

The fact that you two are pregnant TOGETHER is seriously killing me! Love you guys so much ❤ I feel like yall are my best friends and you don’t even know who the hell I am! Always rooting for you both 🥰

[@makennagarnett3872]

This is one of the most beautiful friendships I’ve ever seen. Makes me think about how amazing girl friendships are and how they’re truly invaluable. Love you guys🩷🩷

[@amandaw2200]

One of my favorite quotes is “a moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory” which I feel like sums up your entire experience. I don’t have any kids or plan to be pregnant anytime soon but your story touched my heart so much and I’ve never felt so happy for a stranger before. Congratulations to you and Leif! Sending all the love ❤

[@alexjlee27]

Is everyone else just crying at your phone watching the love Chelsey and Jaci are sharing about this 🥹🩷 Love you both!

[@danikrywulak]

i have never been so happy for someone i’ve never met 🥹💗 truly jaci watching your journey has been so inspiring, heart warming & comforting. thank you for being so vulnerable & open. i just celebrated my baby girls first birthday and i just can’t wait for you to experience all the love & light your baby will bring into your world. so so happy for you. all the best 💗💗

[@mariaanapires1592]

The IVF video were incredibly vulnerable, heartbreaking and beautiful. Every time I watched an episode I would just close my eyes and send goof vibes and wishing you'd get pregnant. I'm so happy for you and Leif and this magic baby that is coming. Imagine how loved and wanted this baby will feel when he/she sees the videos.

[@amberlyhildebrandt9018]

SO SO happy for you Jaci! And that you guys can be pregnant at the same time!! Cant wait to follow along the rest of your journey!

[@KaitlinMace]

Jaci, I can relate to how you felt when you found out Chelsey was pregnant after your loss, and understanding that grief and joy can exist in the same space. I lost my pregnancy right after my sister told me she was pregnant, and found out shortly after my loss that my husband's sister was pregnant and due in the same month that I was. The complexity of the emotions I felt was beyond explanation and it's so so tough. I am so sorry that you had to go through that, and I'm also so so happy for you that your rainbow baby is on its way. Your journey gives me hope that someday I will have mine too, and that persevering through the storm is worth every ounce of pain for the best reward 🩷

[@angelinakelaris8711]

Been listening to the pod for so long and I feel like I remember you guys saying in a past episode that you could hopefully be pregnant at the same time one day so your kids go grow up together and i’m just so so happy for the both of you and wanted to say congratulations!! 🥺🫶 so excited for you Jaci!!

[@makenapak5694]

Literally listening twice BECAUSE YAY! first just listened, and now watching!! We love you Jaci ❤️ and so excited for video recorded pod 🫶🏼

[@carolynmarshall4070]

No matter how much content I watch from your journey, I cry every time!!! Thank you for being vulnerable and allowing your story to touch so many people. I am over the moon excited for you! I can’t imagine what a dream come true it must be for you and Chelsey to be pregnant together!

[@kimberlyy7837]

i'm so happy you guys are doing videos!! i get distracted easily and can focus better with videos. CONGRATS JACI!!!!! SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH

[@MaddieLucaMalan]

I listened to this on spotify because it wasn't up immediatley tuesday, and this is NOT what i imagined the studio to look like, i'm trying to imagine the vision but the red curtain just wasn't what i thought! maybe purple would be cute because its like, pink + blue? but i'm keeping the faith!

[@taylorharbin8144]

Jaci is pregnant AND we get WWS videos??!! 2024 is gonna be a great year 🥰

[@hillariehernandez9246]

Here from the ivf journey videos! Thank you for sharing those

[@hannahmoore4032]

Yayayayayayayayayayayayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!! I’ve literally prayed you’d be pregnant for years. Praying lots for your little growing family 🩵🩵🩵

[@kiaarenee5305]

But Jaci I’m so happy for you I know how long you’ve been wanting this and to be pregnant with your bestfriend is even more beautiful I love you guys and can’t wait to follow you ladies on your new journey!! 🤍🤍 have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery !!!!

[@vousetesbellllle]

Oooh the way I sobbed at my desk when listening to this episode. I am so incredibly happy for you, Jaci! My heart is filled with so much joy knowing the What We Said babies are going to grow up together ❤️

[@haleyzelney28]

I’m sobbing I’m 28 finding the right time to conceive with my husband and I want a baby more than anything in the world I’m so incredibly happy for you! Your going to be the best mommy ever 💕

[@GoodandDelicious]

You know what would be hysterical? If this baby came out with Jill’s red hair. And then add Leif’s gorgeous curls and you’ve got yourself a magazine baby. Haha! Either way, congratulations! Here’s to a healthy pregnancy and delivery.

[@pnkbee]

seeing how happy and emotional jaci was during this whole episode made me tear up 🥹 wishing you a healthy pregnancy and an easy delivery 🩷

[@ryannecarter4105]

I’ve been listening to the pod almost since the beginning and I LOVE the switch up of having the video format ❤❤

[@JuliaDankberg]

Your ivf series should go down in history or a mandatory watch - SO impactful and important 🫶 so happy for you and Leif x

[@meghanjean5762]

we love you jaci!!!!! so happy for u and leif❤️❤️you and chelsey are amazing people and such friendship role models, i love you both so much🫶🏻

[@claireanderson289]

Your friendship is so inspiring and it is so heartwarming to hear the love you have for one another despite difficult times ❤️ unbelievably happy for you Jaci

[@AbbyVinny]

It is so insane how similar our journeys are- I posted my ivf journey video a few months ago on KZbin and everything you said Ive said word for word in that video, down to thinking the second you saw the positive test your worries would go away and that couldn’t have been farther from the truth and the bar kept being moved. So incredibly happy for you

[@tabithawachter]

SOOOOOO happy for Jaci!! 😭😍 also WOOO KZbin podcast episode and new studio! 🥳 watching and listening is so cool and different, I love it! ❤❤

This episode made me so emotional. Im so happy for you Jaci!!! 🤍🤍

[@AshleyJade18]

I would never say that 'i knew' but when that first IVF came out, i 'assumed' that you were pregnant NOW. I obviously had no clue about how many cycles that you would go though and how many IVF vlogs we would get but i 'assumed' that if you were sharing vlogs from Summer/Fall, it was because NOW that you were pregnant. 🎉💖

[@jaayy97]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG CONGRATS, I WAS HOPING SHE WOULD BE 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Colleenc123]

You’re amazing Jaci! So happy for you and Leif!

[@GoodandDelicious]

My grandfather would always say, “without sacrifice, there are no benefits.” And that definitely applies to this.

[@LunaWaffle]

Congrats Jaci! You're going to a great mom! 🎉
