My Last Week as Pregnant / postpartum food prep

Welcome to another vlog! This was my last week as pregnant and so I decided to do some healthy meal and snack prepping to be prepared for when baby girl arrives ☺️ You can of course make these preps without having a baby 😉 The spice mix, granola and bliss balls are the ones that I’m already prepping on a regular basis 👍🏼 Last but not least, say hi to our daughter Alina! 🥰

Fantastic - beautiful baby girl, she is so bright eyed and alert - all that healthy nutrition for the last nine months

[@countrywithouttrucksandbeerpls]

I woke up feeling a bit down after a terrible night of sleep, it was -45 Celsius here for two days. Then came your smiling face on my KZbin notifications. I made tea, and decided I would sit and let go of my worries for a bit while watching your video. That was the right decision. But, it made me unexpectedly emotional, haha! 27 years ago, I was the first person here to use the services of a midwife, I was so excited. She was a Peruvian woman named Dilma. Like you, I choose to give birth in a bath, everything was ready. I packed all my things like you, prepped food too for when I come back home. But, things went wrong, and I had to be transported to the hospital for an emergency c-section:( It changed my entire experience, I also had a terrible case of bleeding, and I was so weak. I couldn't see my baby girl for two days after I gave birth. I just cried and cried. Not to mention that the hospital staff was very rude to me, because i was vegan, and it was unseen here. Anyway, sorry for the long text but, all that to say that it made me emotional to see someone having a positive birth experience with a midwife, and that wonderful baby girl discovering the world, omg.... Btw, you had a GREAT view by the window as well, i bet that did help to relax between contractions, something to focus on. Now I hope your family life is wonderful, and that your brand keeps on growing. It was very lovely to see you this morning, i needed something joyful. Thank you for sharing that with us.
