The people that are still watching your channel aren’t “van people” or “cabin people” or “build and create people”. We are “Eamon and Bec people” and we watch because we’re connected to you and your lives. You inspire and are such a comfortable space to be each Sunday and we want to see every aspect of your lives. I think we will be so sad if the baby is not in every single episode. But we also honor your privacy so you do you!

[@offinthedistance1536]

AMEN. well said

[@ekim333]

Have to disagree here. The kid has no choice, and shouldn't be forced to be seen on the internet by millions of adults.

[@annross]

@@ekim333 yes we honor their privacy. It is their decision for sure.

[@barbaraannscarlet7885]

I agree and suspect the author feels respecting your privacy re Fitz is mandatory of course .. But we will always love to love him as well!

[@Bekkenes]

Everything is relative. I'm sure they will loose some (possibly) and gain some. That's just what happens when a channel moves away from "status quo". Their "gamble" with going from vanlife to cabinlife worked out, and im sure this will also. I followed "la vagabonde" from when they had single digits thousands of subscribers until little after they had their first child. They did nothing wrong but family focus is not for me. But even if they maybe lost me and a few more, they gained substantially more then they lost. They are now around 2 million i think. No matter what people do in regards to subscribing, its not a reflection on them and their family. Its a reflection of content. Same as if your favorite tv series suddenly changed it formula. Maybe you continue to watch or maybe you don't. No matter subscritpion status, I'm happy they get to live life as they want themselves, not based on what others want them to do. And even if the channel "tanks" (and i don't think it will), they will still have their family, maybe just different jobs.

[@rainyjelly]

Honestly I think the middle name Lee would be very nice and can go very well with lots of different first names!

[@aquietjoy]

Also it's gender neutral so could use for a boy or girl

[@Kjacks08]

These are some questions to ask to help pick the perfect baby name: Can you see it on their name tag in preschool? Can you see them introducing themselves at a bar in college? Can you see it sitting on their desk as a CEO? I think it helps you remember that you’re naming an adult, not a child.

[@deannaporter7730]

I totally agree...PLEASE don't name your baby some outlandish crazy name...that's what nicknames are for 😊👍😊

[@heidiclarke2333]

And no weird spelling, otherwise it is a lifetime of having to spell it out all the time!

[@mistyouthere6055]

That’s why I cringed when they said Bear 😅 Shane Dawson also had Bear as a possibility baby boy name. I don’t get that one. Such a baby nickname name

[@littleredbender]

Exactly!! I know a kid named King (last name Arthur) and I cringe just thinking about adult him having to introduce himself in a business meeting or something.

[@kimmie-kat]

TRUTH!

[@kathypoppitt1131]

So happy for you both. As an attorney for more than 30 years and running across all sorts of names of other attorneys and clients, this is something I have given a lot of thought. I suggest that you consider not only what this baby name will be but how it will come across as an adult if they want to be taken seriously. So many names are cute for babies and kids but not so cute as an adult which is going to be the majority of the baby's life. Plus, ease of spelling and not just something funky that will always be misspelled is a consideration. Best luck from Texas!

[@effullgent]

ease of spelling i think is very important! my husbands name was misspelled on important documents when he migrated here as a baby and that one mistake has given him so many problems during his citizenship process as an adult but he has also had it misspelled on school documents where it unenrolled him one semester and it was a whole problem. something i personally never thought of before then

[@swankyangelo]

It’s okay lol, let people spell their names how they want to, how else would we create change? Just because you feel uncomfortable spelling doesn’t mean others should. 😊

[@ang_131]

So true. My kids all have names that would sound good with “the honourable” in front of it but that also have cute nicknames for when they’re little. Like Theodore (Teddy) or Katherine (Katie). Disclaimer: not my actual kids’ names. 😅

[@maryrankin9869]

Amen to that!

[@9eyeswideopen]

@kathypoppitt1131 I totally agree. My father gave me a very unusual name I’m now in my 60’s all my adult life I always have to spell my name even though it’s very easily spelt as it’s exactly how it’s pronounced no one ever gets it right.

[@roachbeth510]

I almost burst into tears when Bec said that she was excited to see what her child teaches her. What a wonderful response and SO TRUE. You are going to be wonderful parents

[@jonathanscott7991]

Eamon at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="650">10:50</a> being like "yea adhd is a superpower sure but I wish i could like read and write. and spell." is the most relatable neurodivergent statement I've ever heard. so glad I went down a youtube rabbit hole instead of focusing on my paperwork haha thanks adhd

[@kathleengoguen8731]

I am surprised that you wouldn't even mention a girls name of Trinity, it is a beautiful name, it has such symbolic history for you as well. Trinity Lee would be such a fitting name for a little girl coming home with you.

[@alexcooper6953]

I'm thinking Trinity as middle name would work better. Differentiate from the van.

[@elisabethm9655]

The second trimester is usually the fun part - the pregnancy is well established, you feel better, you’re not yet uncomfortably heavy. Enjoy!

I LOVED the 2nd trimester. I felt so good and then you start showing and feeling the baby kick. Its a magical time.

This is the first time I've heard you guys talk about ADHD. As Eamon was saying that he hopes the child gets the ability to focus from you, I could see the pain in his body. While I had always suspected he has ADHD, that moment solidified it for me. I relate to that viscerally. Both myself and my partner have ADHD so the struggle is real but I know that we would make wonderful, loving, creative and curious parents. Love to you both!

[@sorchx]

He mentions that he has it quite often throughout their videos, I think he has ADD though.

As someone who was homeschooled for all 12 grades... I can vouch for the fact that homeschooling does not equal unsocialized! It's all about creating your community and investing in it, which you guys already do so well!! For names.... I think Izzy would be so cute for a girl!!

[@ericas1458]

Louder for those in the back.... this is the worst repeated myth about homeschooled kids. I have 4, all homeschooled, and they're the most social kids on the planet. They play soccer, are involved at our church, have friends of all ages, and are super outgoing. Best of all, we are not bound by teaching only certain subjects and can let their interests guide their studies. Now that mine are teens and teens, it's so nice to see how amazing homeschool has really been for them.

[@lauraculver7832]

This is so off topic, but I didn’t know Eamon has ADHD. I recently got diagnosed and finding out people that I admire for their success, work ethic, creativity, (all things affected by our brains) gives me so much hope and joy. Thank you for sharing! Also MAJOR congratulations!

[@eamonandbec]

Awe I’m so glad that Eamon represents all of those things to you! Yes, he was diagnosed as a kid and is very clearly ADD but also an amazing example of someone who has learned to channel those traits for good!

As an ADHD'er myself I big agree with this! It was really easy early on to get myself down about the way my brain works but it truly can be our superpower, we just have to learn to work in ways that work for us. Eamon is an amazing example 💙

[@jackiesmith9619]

I also have ADHD as well as my oldest son. For me, it's been a super power raising 4 boys. I have tons of natural energy, and it helped me channel it all in managing all their schedules, appts, sports stuff and keeping all the chores done. We don't take meds, instead we channel it into being productive. I feel that too many people r given meds, when all they need to do is learn how to use it in fun and useful ways.

Bec, watching you survive cancer was an incredibly emotional journey to witness. Watching you now pregnant, vibrant, with SO much vitality is even more emotional to watch - I am crying the happiest tears for you. The amount of hope and gratitude your entire being radiates is absolutely moving beyond words. You were a bright light before your journey with illness, you continued to shine through it even in the darkest times, and now on the other side you are RADIANT and beaming like never before. Thank you for sharing this journey with the world - just in doing so you are serving so much medicine to those who need it. You are a beacon of HOPE! I vote that you name the baby Hope. You and Eamon are going to be the best parents, and your baby is going to be loved beyond words.

I know this was a very baby-related video (duh!) but I just want to say how much I appreciate Eamon's candid thoughts on losing inspiration after some of the challenges of travelling. I travelled for a year, and it was amazing and incredible, but it was also very challenging and I often felt guilty near the end knowing how excited I was for mundane things like having all your bathroom gear at your sink, instead of fishing through a bag every single day for every little thing. It's nice to hear that these are common experiences, and that your travel goals can change.

But now at 41, she’s 8, and I’m glad we waited because my daughter has the best version of me I could give. So as you move along this pregnancy trust your gut! You’re at an age (and especially after defeating cancer) where you’re your best self. The only tip I have is to get a great pediatrician that will respond to texts or emails immediately. Trust your gut and trust your pediatrician! Everyone’s opinions especially the old wives tales are moot points.

As a young adult who was homeschooled my whole life, I’d have it no other way. I was able to see so much more of the US because we could travel during the off season, and I was able to make friends from all over the place. I think there is a right way and a wrong way to do things, but being involved with my community was never something I lacked. And I had a completely personalized education which was amazing.

Same with parks, museums, historical sites, national parks, etc. They take classes and make friends of ALL ages absolutely everywhere they go. They’re the least socially awkward kids I know. Right now there on break so they’re at grandmas house on the ranch helping grandpa with his irrigation lines and helping their older cousin build fence, in between they ride horses and swim in the creek. They’re living the good life that’s for sure!

[@jj-if6it]

@@jinamg247 I mean it sounds nice but kids at school go on excursions to museums and zoos anyway; maybe it means less time with peers and more time spent with older people and adults. Empty zoos sounds kind of depressing...But the main thing with homeschooling is these days a lot of women have to work go back to work full time and so can't do it anyway

[@hbonebrake515]

There is a line of kids' books called "Nerdy Babies" that closes with the line "Stay curious babies, there is more to learn about everything." We have one on weather, space, transportation, etc. Eamon will love them.

[@gailharden2586]

My grand daughter’s name is “Scout” and I love it. It suits her so much! Think about it!

[@lauras245]

My daughter's name! So I agree it is a beauty! xx

[@LindaHimesama]

You guys were so respectful to your parents with that last question. Kudos

[@deniseterrell2515]

I was also a “Softy” when I raised my daughter.. she is now 27 and turned out to be the most kind, caring, and all around good person… just as you are Eamon! Nothing wrong with that! 💕

[@desiraypearl3681]

I have to say, I think Eamon is a lucky man. Bob seems so amazing… Not only am I excited to see y’all grow with a child but I can’t wait to see Bob with a grandchild and how it changes everyone’s lives.

[@dianethompson2458]

Congratulations to you both. The only advice I ever give new parents is that they know what is best for their baby. As far as negative comments go, these people hate themselves and lash out because of this. People that matter dont mind and people who do mind dont matter. Bright Blessings.

[@cindyswartz4564]

It’s amazing how your body adjusts when it has to. I had only one breast that worked for feeding my babies. I had four children and every time I had plenty of milk. So if you have one breast that works, don’t worry it’ll be all good. ❤ so excited for y’all. Good luck. 😊

[@debbienoderer379]

Parent from you HEART. So many new moms get tied up in pregnancy books and “what you should do” vs. what you feel is right. I felt so beautiful when I was pregnant. My daughter is grown and married and I wish I could do it all over again ❤ I nursed her for 2 1/2 years and I didn’t want to quit but she did! Now we’re waiting for grandbabies! (someday 😂)

[@yarninthehollow9960]

I knew I was having a boy, twice. Now 37 & 39. No one knows what kind of a parent they will be, or what they know or believe they will do until the situation happens. If you have a premature baby, you too may become a softie. I know you both will be great parents, and I bet Eamon will be a softie.

[@xS.K.]

Your Mummy and Daddy instincts will 100% get you through, have those close people who don't need to have the same parental values, but are accepting and understanding of different types of parenting, they are the ones who offer the best advice and most reassuring support and advice. :)

[@SamTemple]

After watching La Vagabonde for years, i really don't see an issue with raising your kids around cameras as long as there's nothing 'posey' about it! My family took handy-cams everywhere when we were kids and it so nice to watch those videos back now! :) I think as long as a parents don't let the kids in on the 'success' or 'fame' aspect of being on KZbin, it can be treated as just documenting lovely memories ♥️

[@juniper22]

It's a double-edged sword. I had some issues when I was a kid and random people my parents knew would somehow know me. Also, those videos were likely only shared with you and maybe close family or friends. With 1.2 million people, these videos (and the kids) are being shown to many people who don't "know" them. I hope Eamon and Bec use some privacy for the little one that has no consent to being shown.

[@averymccluree]

my mom had me at 36 & my brother at 38! it’s never to late to be a momma! she’s my bestfriend and i have learned so much from her, i plan to have kids later in life as well! enjoy my youth & be stable before bringing a light into the world ❤

[@kated2847]

You guys are going to be the most amazing parents. Your enthusiasm for life and how you embrace every challenge is such an example for the rest of us.

[@brookehinckley8030]

Y’all are so sweet and loving. It is always so nice and refreshing to watch your content! Thank you for sharing so much of your lives. 100% of parent will just come naturally for y’all, so no worries about not having it all figured out yet. No one does, and honestly I personally loved having my mom to reference, but also loved figuring my bambino’s out on my own too. I say you are already smashing parenthood. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@GirdHerd]

I know you're good friends with Trent & Allie. I watch all of their videos too and I think they do a good job of incorporating their son, Leo, into the videos without making it a baby channel. I'm confident you guys will just go with the flow and figure it out as you go. Just keep being real is all we ask and expect.

[@kylehoward3770]

Crazy to see how far you guys have come, I have been watching for longer than I would like to admit and cannot wait to watch this new chapter unfold. Congrats again guys and all the best with you bundle of 😊 ❤

[@YouOtt2Know]

I think I may love this video even more than the announcement video. Now that you’ve been cleared and reached 15 weeks you can tell there is just sheer joy and elation. I’m so thrilled you get to just enjoy this journey and season of your lives now!!!! You’re going to be amazing parents!

[@eamonandbec]

Wow, thank you! ❤❤❤

[@sarahgammell811]

I named my daughter “Rielle-Amor” (like Gabrielle but no gab!) means gift of love.... after 2 ectopics and 1 tube removed! So happy for you both. Maybe we have to go through tough times so our girls can say their Mumma is one strong Mumma 💚

[@carlahubbard7561]

My son has ADHD, and very intelligent, I’ve ALWAYS told him he has to use his super powers for good! My pick for the baby’s name is Lily, love that name

[@bonnieteets8194]

It warms my heart and brings me to be teary eyed just seeing how happy the both of you are. If any one in this world deserves this kind of happiness it's both of you! You both are going to be such loving parents. The love you have for your little baby is just so heartwarming. Bec no one deserves this happiness more than you. What you have been through this past year is so beyond terrible. I am 67 just recently diagnosed with the same breast cancer as you. My journey is just beginning. But watching all that you have accomplished after has inspired me. Your strength and wonderful attitude is what was shining through to all of us. I wish for so much good and happiness in the time to come. You both deserve this happiness.

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

While I cheered you on as you kicked cancers ASS, I’m so extra excited & thrilled to watch you and Eamon grow, welcome and become parents to this bundle of joy 🥰 You so both deserve this happiness! ♥️😘

[@TheJpc1]

"Thanks for your advice, we will definitely think about that!" This is the phrase that saved me from all the baby advice coming from well-meaning family and friends. Some of it is helpful, some not what you might want, so that phrase lets you think about it all and use or discard it as you see fit. Wishing you the best!

[@Bindismom]

As a mother of 5, I think I’m qualified to say you will be surprised to see how much of the baby clap- trap you really DON’T need! It’s actually easier to care for baby and home without the clutter of gadgets and furniture you use a few times and then almost give away at a garage sale. You two have a pretty darn good handle on this already. 🤗👍👍👶🏼🙏👏🏻👏🏻

[@zivagoldman2001]

I agree. It also drives me crazy to see when parents pack for the hospital as if they're going on a 2 week trip. You'll never use 99% of the stuff you packed. You'll never use 75% of the fancy gadgets you get at the shower. Most of the clothes will be outgrown within the first month. Go simple, go minimalistic!

[@lililinda6947]

Amen. So true

[@ang_131]

My thought, too, that they’re already pretty minimalist. But the excitement of first time parents can sometimes carry people away. And you know what, that’s okay, too. I’m about to have my third kid and I’m honestly a little sad that I’m not *more* excited about all the baby gear. Now I’m all about logistics: transporting 3 kids on foot, in the car, sleeping arrangements, fitting us around the dining table, etc.

[@alyssaecklund9432]

People need to start buying onesies in assorted sizes and diapers in larger sizes for baby showers. This newborn purchase spree does no good for most, since babies grow so quickly and the hospital provides a lot of newborn supplies to start parents out.

[@atheenas5443]

I full heartedly agree with this, everyone tried to tell me i needed all these ridiculous things (well they were to me) and most of those people barely used those “must have” items. I saved my money.

[@mariahgist1018]

My grandma only had one breast that she could produce from because of a tumor she had when she was little, and she was able to produce enough for my mom! No pressure, of course, but I think it’s so awesome that it worked for them! Good luck Bec! You’re going to be THE BEST MOM! ❤

[@jendawson64]

Our daughter is named Chaiya which means ‘Life’! We travelled to Mexico with her when she was 7 weeks in our old ‘76 VW & got to know ourselves as a new family for the first 6 months. She is also a late December baby and we wanted to get out of the Canadian winter as well. Congrats and excited for you guys entering this next chapter in life. 🤗

I just want to tell you both that I’m a silent watcher usually. Well today I was having a really hard day and had just had a panic attack. I saw your video pop up on my phone and decided to try and calm myself down watching. You two are such a bright light in this world. I just wanted you to know that watching this helped me so much. Thank you for being you. I’m so excited for you both in this new season. Your kids going to be so cool! 💛

Eamons curiosity and amazing creativity, is the best kind of ADHD! As someone with ADHD I love watching Eamon because he reminds me of me, but he is thriving at life and its so nice to see someone who has what I have, living a life that suits his personality and allows him to be extraordinary rather than having a career and life that is a struggle to conform to and stunts creativity. I love watching you both and I just love to see the positive representation.

My bestfriend was raised vegitarian until the age of like 11, and can confirm he is not harmed in anyway by eating vegitarian all that time. He will now drink cow milk, and have meat occassionally, but it is way less meat consumption then I do. Dont let people tell you how you should feed your baby, as long as they are fed is what is important. The baby will grow up to make thier own choices and you two will be wonderful guides

[@sarahsteadman20]

It’s fun watching your pregnancy vids. I found out recently that I am pregnant, for the second time! I miscarried my first pregnancy. Needless to say I can’t help but be a little nervous and I’m trying to keep a sound mind. “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but I’d love, power, and a sound mind.” Watching your videos is encouraging and I am happy to be on this journey with Bec at the same time!

Miscarried the first also, more common than people know. Second took and she’s great. Such a good kid, heart of gold, funny, smart and beautiful. Blessed.
