Thank you so much for continuing to be plant based and sprinkle lots of empathy and compassion in the world for you, the future of the planet and your baby.

[@lindseydurham3473]

Thank you for this! I’m not pregnant but am plant based and my husband and I just started trying for a baby and it’s so nice to see a plant based mama and pregnancy. You’re beautiful soul shines through in every video! Thank you again

[@bcsaxplayer04]

I am so excited for you. I was just sitting here thinking about you and I actually teared up thinking about you with your baby(I have NO idea why I’m so emotional right now). Honestly, I think you are going to be the most amazing, loving Mom. And your baby is going to be such an amazing human because of you.

[@pumpkinsuit892]

quick tip: if you toast your sesame seeds in a dry pan on the stove to a golden brown for about a minute it brings out the flavor so much! stand over them though it happens quickly

[@Lina_5_]

Kalyn I APPRECIATE the fact that you post your vlogs during your pregnancy ! Don't forget to sleep enough and eat well ! Love you !

[@Ashley-jw7jd]

I love that you are plant-based. I am too for the animals and the environment

[@selenaaquino2837]

Kalyn ugh I love you you are such a humble person and I love the blog especially following your pregnancy journey you are so beautiful you are definitely glowing and ugh Ive missed a couple videos but catching up today !! I am a mommy so what you said makes me feel so much better because I want to do more in my day but its hard with a little one and making sure my fur baby and family is taken care of but you are so inspirational love you !

[@brimarieeee]

as a fellow plant based girlie i get what you mean, there can be so much judgment to be the perfect vegan. you just have to follow what feels right & natural for you & baby bear! 🐻 🤍 idk if you just prefer actual eggs for taste or nutrients, but i really enjoy the brand just egg IF you were interested in an alternative (again no judgment just love)!! 🤍🤍

[@meganmischinski683]

I just tried making falafel for the first time last night! I've been trying to diversify my meals w different proteins, veggies and flavors too :) I've also been on the longest chocolate & peanut butter kick. would love another update in the 3rd trimester - thanks for sharing!

[@haleydonovan3421]

Kalyn, you are so down to earth and wise. Wish you all the best on this special journey.

[@michellem88]

Enjoy these quiet mornings to the fullest, Mama!!! ❤

[@asta9386]

I am so happy for you. Haven't watched in a while and honestly whenever I watch you elevate my spirits when I really need it. I honor you Kalyn. Guess that's Namaste 🙏🏽

[@tiasgarden3]

Thank you for bringing light to indigenous peoples with that book youre reading!!! Sweet grass is a sacred medicine to us and I really need to get that book!

[@stormybianca216]

I am so excited for you to have your baby boy Kalyn!! My little girl just turned 1 recently and it’s such a joy 😍

[@karebear326]

Rewatching videos cause i needed the self care and acceptance of self love that you feel from Kalyn’s videos🥰❤️

[@ameliarose47]

Wow. I still can't believe you're having a baby Kayln. I'm so excited for you and excited for you to get to meet him and hold him and begin the next step of this amazing journey with your family.

[@missk4934]

I’m not pregnant, but thank you so much for sharing your pregnancy journey and showing others it’s possible to have a happy, healthy vegan pregnancy💛✨💛

You are such an inspirational and beautiful human! Thank you for being so authentically you

[@tayhoops]

You have such a good head on your shoulders. Very smart. You’re going to be an amazing momma. Already an amazing human ☀️💛

[@littlemissstilly]

I've been loving doing different stir fry bowls, particularly chicken broccoli rice teriyaki with homemade sauce 🥰🥰

[@jamierego2390]

Love the gyst juice mug! That's super cute but I'm so proud of how far you've come in this life ❤❤ I'm excited that you're sharing this journey with is

[@hanna2522]

Thank you for this video. I sometime struggle with watching food vlogs, but yours felt so peaceful☺️ I would really like to see another one🌼

[@lildreamxxx]

All looks so good and delicious! So proud of your healthy relationship with food ❤️

[@tararamirez2306]

As soon as I saw the grocery haul I thought “oh no, she forgot the tomatoes!” 😂 glad to see you doing so well, and can’t wait to see the reno vlog!

[@chanelh1972]

Kalyn, your imperfections are what make you perfect ❤️ You are such a GLOWING momma 🤗🤗

[@annclayton6056]

apples and peanut butter are definitely my go to snack lately. I also struggle with body image issues and your channel has inspired me so much that I'm more confident in myself.

[@graciewebb1507]

I am so happy for you!!!

[@syd4129]

bentley smelling the food😭😂 he wants some too!🥺😂

[@graciekerr3137]

I haven’t watched you since high school congratulations on the baby !!!

[@juliaantes9369]

Thank you for this lovely video ! And your hair looks amazing

[@MeaganNicoleBB]

Honestly eggs are a superfood, especially for pregnancy. So I’m glad to hear that you’ve included it in your diet (even tho i know its no ones dang business what you do or eat).🌟 I always enjoy these types of videos and have enjoyed your pregnancy journey vids so far 🌱

[@xoxVixen17]

I always love your recipes because they are so easy and delicious! Thanks for sharing!

[@lilmisfits.]

I love this I would love to see it again!

[@chrissyhammerbeck4133]

I think you are doing amazing. And you look really happy and healthy. That is what is important. You know how you feel. No one else does.

[@chrissyhammerbeck4133]

Yes I would love to see another one

[@sierranadine]

your chickpea salad lunch sounds divine!! 🥺💖

[@laurenevans8982]

The subreddit A Bra That Fits has been so helpful in me understanding my bra size! They have some really great resources for a more realistic measuring technique and how to find a bra that works for breast shape as well. I've found the most comfortable bras for myself through them.

[@Isa_BfmV]

Same here! I knew that my former size was too small for me but I've thought that it would be THIS small (i guess 3-4 cups too small). When i measure with other techniques i get a completely different size, which doesn't fit at all. I highly recommend a bra that fits!

[@victorianikolova9163]

Love watching your videos

[@Illjustbefamous]

LOVE the new intro vibes

[@mlkrx]

You are glowing and I loved learning about what you eat in a day. I’m really striving to try and eat better so it was great inspiration! What do you think about the discussion around dates (Mejool, etc.)? I’ve heard more and more that it helps soften the cervix and aid in labor, but that they shouldn’t be consumed prior to 36 weeks. I’m curious to know what others have heard. Want to be as informed as I can 🙂

[@snamna]

Not related to anything you said or did in this video, but I seriously hope that you never quit making KZbin vidoes and Coffee talk! It's been so nice to grow with you and unwind all the spiritual things at the same time. You make me wanna be better version of myself and you give me motivation in every aspect of the life. Thank you!

[@astrostorm96]

seeing you healthy glowy just makes me happy ^_^ random q: since you're having lots of soy based proteins, do you have recs and ways to eat tempeh? I am new to it and wanted to know how to enhance the flavour and make it tasty

[@diemdia]

A really easy way I like to make it is to mix a sauce that’s 1tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp maple syrup (or sub whatever sugar you have) and fry thin strips with that Obv scale as needed haha, but I usually use that amount for about 1/3 to 1/2 of a package

[@astrostorm96]

@@diemdia will give this a shot! I've heard that marinating it in peanut butter sweet chilli sauce also give it a nice flavour but I guess I'll start with basic.

[@robynperry387]

Those brita bottles are game changers!!

[@jennymac7372]

This morning I was craving a waffle with cream cheese and berries. It was delicious! 😋

[@Lazuz37482]

loved it ! ❤‍🔥

[@serenityslife4910]

Your food looks amazing!!!

[@CocoKayNutrition]

Our bodies don’t know whether it is traffic stress or a lion is chasing us. We need to treat our adrenals with care. Having a daily self care plan through meditation and yoga is important 🤩 love that your in tune with your body

[@takecare5135]

May your child bring happiness, love and prosperity for you 😍

[@hillayaniv]

Kalyn you are doing great, and it’s true we cannot control what our food is packaged in. I’m hoping soon more biodegradable plastics would be introduced to mass production. Sending all the love in the world💚🌎🪷

[@michellem8710]

i'm in awe of you been following since approx 2017 BTW

[@dakotacooperr]

Kayln I loveeeeeeeeeeee you so much girl and for so long you are flourishing in pregnancy clearly. Yes yes yesss Keep preaching to listen to your body how you said because while the 10 step hot girl routine looks great people don’t realistically need to do every step everyday. Some days we can do even more steps and some days less, your intuitive approach is the best approach 🙌🏽

[@rachelspoon4741]

Omg your pose in your thumbnail is EVERYTHING, BEAUTIFUL ❤️ going to watch vid now xD x

[@pepsireed7413]

You are one of my most favorite human beings! You are already such an awesome mom! 🥰

[@michellesc0711]

I recently started the Keto diet so I tried making my own antipasto salad - andddd I’m so addicted to it.

[@evaantoniia]

oh, I love yours what I eat

[@emmamoose-dragon1110]

Kalyn, thank you so much for talking about all your body changes while you're growing this tiny human! It is amazing and terrifying at the same time but I love that you have taken it in stride. ❤️ It makes me hopeful that I will be able to take the changes in stride too.

[@amandaleebee98]

That BABY BUMP though 💓

[@teresaanthony9633]

Saw the tropi green pineapple kale mix. Strange on our side gynac advice against consuming pineapple

[@ninagridchina1388]

Oh Kalyn, I cannot express with words, how much I needed to hear things you've said in this vlog. I love you so much

[@ellexusglockner6842]

You've been a comfort person to me for years now, and I think it's because you remind me of my own mom. It's so amazing to watch you and your family grow, and I'm so happy for you!! You're going to be such a good mom

[@CatzMarina]

I definitely want to see one of these for your 3rd! I loved this vlog 💛 I’ve not been doing that great with my food 🤐 I’m lacking some effort in my cooking, been eating out and using uber eats more than usual. Also a few birthdays and such in the last months seem to have activated a sweet tooth in me lol I need to get my shite together for sure 😅 been feeling stressed lately which I think it’s the root cause of this mess. Your video just woke me up to do better though ☺️

[@MichelleTech]

Maybe someday you'll want a garden to grow your own? No plastic then! Your yard is nice and big, you could grow a lot!

[@anna-maymoon1001]

I was feeling so lonely today and this cheered me right up ❤ I've been really craving crab, chilli and lime pasta - maybe veganise it with tofu and like... somehow vegan fish flavour? Like a real seafood hit - its gorgeous and light and delicious 10/10 If you can't find tinned crab it's amazing with salmon or prawns, and like a splash of creme fresh 10/10

[@user-ep8bk5ku6g]

THE NEW EDITING STYLE THO!!!

[@emilywilliams4804]

No one is perfect girl and eggs are so good for baby. 💛 you do what is best for you. ✨️

[@emilylang2]

Could you share how you make/marinate your tempeh?

[@livelovebeprouddinejoe665]

Breading sweet grass is my favorite book! Sending such positive love and lift to you and your growing family! Kisses to Bentley!

[@milicag7]

I was literally *just* thinking hmm wonder when Kalyn's gonna do a what I eat video 😂😂❤️❤️❤️ Love it and love how you're glowing and even more inspiring than ever and I've been following you almost since the start 🤗

[@ameliaevink5484]

The bellyyyyy!!! So so cute!

[@juliahogwood2579]

You look amazing girl! You are glowing!

[@emilyroseellis]

You are just lookin so beautiful, and seem so happy.🙌 ✨ 💝 Missed these videos to heck. Now I must go watch your old meal preps... 😏🍅💜

[@marthelea]

that whole drive to the grocery store chat is just all YES! ✨

[@jaydencraigie]

For a bra I HIGHLY recommend the Lululemon "Like a Cloud" bra - I have 2 and they are some of my favourites to wear! I have a few from Knix that I also love, but find myself reaching for the "Like a Cloud" over everything else. I'm not pregnant but am a size 24DD/36D and have a hard time finding bra's that have no "overflow". I got a size 10 in the D/DD style and a 12 in the B/C style and LOVE both (though would maybe consider sizing down in them if I wanted a snugger band, but I love the lounge-y feel of the sizes I got). They are supportive, cover well, and are so comfortable it feels like you're not even wearing anything (but with all the benefits of wearing a bra)!

[@mj5697]

Omg I remember when I was pregnant and I would get *ALL the cravings* but I would only be able to eat a few bites, then I would cry because I wanted to eat more delicious food 😅

[@serenityslife4910]

What vitamins do you take? Like the brand. I want to take it too. 🙏

[@cheyennekametani7876]

I have been PLOWING through avocados lately! Avocado toast on my homemade sourdough with everything bagel seasoning, lemon pepper, a squeeze of lime, and sliced tomatoes. Wow. Can’t stop haha

[@kaylanozawa4798]

that sounds delicious!

[@jocelynbulger]

Try putting nut butter inside your dates! So good!

[@mahalakshmis4692]

Do all the breathe work ,do all of the yoga but all without love , how healthy are we ? 👏 That's something everyone should ask themselves..

[@edenelias2at]

Yess please make another one

[@laurenrush7992]

Okay what is that song at the very end when you’re making dinner??

[@femmenistas]

You look gorgeous ❤️😍

[@worldtravelerxoxo1201]

It makes me sad that you have to explain to people everything you do. No need to justify your choices! But thank you for being sooo open about your pregnancy! I’m about a month older than you and I’m TTC starting December 1st! I’m getting so excited and counting the days until my wedding and honeymoon! Are you planning to go on a babymoon? My mom never went on one but us millennials have some interesting/ new ideas haha 😂

[@mjl3753]

I only went up a cup or two with my pregnancies. but after pregnancies I went up five cups. just be wary of overspending now thinking that that's what you're going to be when your milk comes in.

[@amandasimms8609]

It is so weird how pregnancy changes every aspect of your mind and body. In terms of fruit, my baby rejected apples throughout my pregnancy, not sure why as I love them!

[@kaitlinsshmaitlin]

Omg I love seeing you eat dates, I ate sooooo many dates during my pregnancy, especially in the third trimester!

[@tsvetiv4780]

💓🤗

[@justine835]

I think you look amazing pregnant or not but you do look glowing. I ate a lot of veggies and fruits pregnant, my daughter is 10 month and she eats a lot of both, she loves them so I hope your son will be the same but in any case you'll do great with him. You're amazing

[@mercedesmartinez8650]

My whole pregnancy I only craved watermelon 🍉 now my 7 month old has tried it in a meshy and he loves ittttt :)))

[@richa-SoulLove]

💖💜

[@cherryayethihan]

Kalyn, your voice sounds so much more feminine and motherly in this video

[@chrissyhammerbeck4133]

Definitely inflation. And I heard things might go up again. I myself, have been trying to eat more veggies. And I have noticed a difference.

[@GimlifigliodiGloin197]

Loved this 💓💓 I love pregnant Kalyn so much 😍🥰 you look so healthy and happy PS remember to ALWAYS cook frozen berries 🫐 before eating them bc they can contain many ills and bacteria so if you cook them you won’t eat all of those 💩 that can be unhealthy for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Lots of love, Fede

[@ajaygupta-yq2vj]
