Congratulations 🎉 as a Plus size mom of 3 . All came out healthy . All are thriving. Enjoy being a mom and don’t worry about what others say

[@Lynetamimo]

Am a plus size mum of 1 but it’s been hell ttc.my son is 5 years already 😢😢😢

[@holisticplantprincess]

As someone who is plus sized and TTC i love to see the representation for us plus sized women. Thank you for your vulnerability and sharing your experiences. XO sending lots of love

[@BrinaAquafina]

I am so happy to see your face! You’ve always been so real and transparent here, so it is refreshing that you are back! Congrats again to you and Dan❤

[@SueB402]

I’m so happy for you & Dan! You look radiant, Gab….motherhood truly agrees with you. I can sympathize with the nausea & vomiting. When I had my daughters, 9 years apart, I got sick every day as well. But once you hold your precious baby in your arms, you forget it all. 🥰 Cecilia is absolutely adorable! And congrats to Eddie & Ryan. Exciting news! 💕

[@WeezyJeffersonYo]

You protected your peace, focused on your pregnancy and family. Love it and congrats on your adorable baby!! ❤❤

[@marthalrodriguez.2209]

Being a mom is beautiful. Your going to be a great mom. God Bless your little family. I love all your videos

[@arleneorozco0326]

Omg you have a baby!!!! I’m so sorry your Daddy isn’t here. I can only imagine how he’d be with her if he was still here… You baby has a beautiful angel in heaven that will forever be by your side and your babygirl. I’m happy for you beautiful. You take care of yourself, and do what you have to do to make yourself happy. Best wishes. My older Brother passed away 7 years ago, and he has one beautiful granddaughter now. Everyday I wish he was here to enjoy this beautiful legacy he has now. 😏😔❤️🥹

[@taraadkins5297]

I had a very similar experience with my first born, was in induced on Jan 4th and he didn't come until the 6th. My water had broke but I never made it past 5 lcm and had to have a csection! Had a small opening in my incision. However, this year with my 2nd born, it was a scheduled c-section and around day 10 post partum I was having terrible pain on the left side of my abdomen. Went back to my ob, they didn't see anything wrong, 2 days later I was having emergency life saving surgery because I had necrotizing fastitis (flesh eating bacteria) on my left side. I was on a wound vac for 3 months with an open would that was 85 inches across my entire lower body. I missed a lot of firsts with my second!! You are 100% right when you say advocate for yourself! You know your body, trust your gut! I knew something was wrong, had I not pushed going to the ER after they said I was fine, I wouldn't be here!! So happy for you!! Enjoy being a mom, time flies with your little one!! ❤❤❤

[@susanfugman448]

Oh my God I can’t even watch the whole thing. I am so excited that you’re back. You look amazing. I hope you can hear the excitement in the tax. I am just a static. I love you I’m gonna watch the video. Love you in Chicago lady.❤️💐

[@GLAMBYGABRIELLA]

Thank you so much, and thank you for your support 🥹❤️

[@donnadequire-rios3531]

Hiiiiiiiiiii. I am overjoyed. The baby awwwwww. ok, gotta go watch the video. Ill comment more later

[@DDee-oi6kn]

I figured that's why you stopped KZbin so you wouldn't have any stress on you during your pregnancy - you did what you needed to do and I fully support that. I didn't breast feed because I was a nervous Nelly and knew it would stress me out. So glad you are back and congrats again on your precious little girl! Loved watching her little feet kicking - what a good baby!

[@naomarobbins1992]

I lived in leggings and just over sized t shirts lol when i was pregnant if i had anxiety about anything i would go set in the middle of my bed and rub lotion on my tummy and talk to baby and read to baby and just calm down and it also helped me to just kind of bond more with baby it helped me so much or i would go take a bath and just pour water on my tummy and focused on the sound of the water and the feel of it its all about finding what helps you to slow down and take that time for yourself when you can i love this video and your baby girl is beautiful ❤

[@shay9126]

Not even here for the pregnancy/baby needs (I’m single/not a mom) but I’m so thrilled for you that I’m just listening intently 🥹 So happy to see how life is unfolding for you-been watching since pre-Dan days. You deserve all of this joy and more! Look forward to family vlogs but know life is quite busy right now!

[@donnadequire-rios3531]

It is absolutely horrible that society makes plus-size women feel all kinds of wrong during their pregnancy. I am so glad you decided to stay off KZbin even though I missed you, but it was more critical for you to stay away from stress. You are a wise person. Cecilia is fantastic; she's so cute. May GOD continue to bless you and your beautiful family.

[@luleeladivina1508]

Ooooommgggggg, congrats, I have missed u sooooooooooo..then I wondered if u was prego!!!! I don't have other social media but KZbin so haven't been knowing any updates of ya! But so happy to hear from ya n lots of blessings to all😘🤎🙏😊

[@lizgibbs3405]

[@annamaxner2426]

Was pleasantly surprised to see you back! You have always been one of my fav KZbinrs! Welcome Back and wishing you and Dan all the best with your bundle of joy! 🥰

[@TS-jj8kj]

The wound vac saved my life! With my first I was sepsis and almost died. I was 25 weighed 180 pounds and this was in nyc in a well known hospital. I passed out on my husband I don’t remember much after that other than waking up in ICU with the infectious disease. I was in there for 3 weeks. Had to have surgery to save my life. With my second shot e had in a different state they covered my incision with a cover that prevented infection wish I could remember what it was and with my 3rd they did the same. I was up walking the same night. No pain killers no crazy pains in my stomach the doctor pulled her out and I literally was in conversation with my husband till we heard happy birthday baby welcome earth side and I was like what ! Now we are getting ready for baby 4 in a few weeks and it’s the same doctor. Self advocacy is so important. I work in human services and I talk about this all the time. Great advice and congratulations to you and your husband!!!!! 🎉💕

[@jacquelineshopbell8502]

Congratulations! You're absolutely glowing. I'm getting married next September and my fiance and I want to start a family soon after. The process of pregnancy is a scary thought but the love of loving your child. So sweet and precious.

[@jillrice1110]

I've been following you for years now. I've been waiting for your baby. Congratulations. I lost my second baby stillborn at 30 weeks. Nothing to due with being plus size. I hope everyone is being positive for you!

[@lovedallas2112]

[@SissyGamerzandPlay22]

So nice to see you back, Gabriella! Congratulations to you and Dan. Baby Cecilia is so precious and you look beautiful! Motherhood suits you well. I'm so sorry you experienced complications with healing and hope you make a full recovery very soon. I'm curious how your doggies reacted to the baby. Have a wonderful weekend! ❤❤❤

[@donnadequire-rios3531]

Gabrielle, you are a brave young lady, and Cecelia is a strong baby girl. Wow, thank you, Jesus, for making everything better. I am so sorry you have to deal with anxiety. You are CORRECT; there is no shame in having anxiety.

[@karlieburnett2978]

I’m just so SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU ! I’m a long time follower and I just love you and your energy ! You deserve all the happiness in the world. Seeing your wedding and how happy you are with Dan & just now your baby girl 🥹😍 I’m a plus size mom of two & I’m literally the same way fear of doctors and hospitals major white coat syndrome! So glad you are starting to feel better 😘

[@loissellars7802]

❤❤❤awwe gabby😢. I know this is a late comment. Im a respiratory therapist. Ive worked in the NICU and now im a LTAC RT. I can relate to your whole story😢😢. Familiar with a wound vac... you have been soooo strong!! Bless you.❤❤❤. You made it through...#survivor#strong mom/woman#beautiful plus size woman...keep pushing through your journey. Youre an inspiration!😊😊😊

[@deedee.loulou2285]

Bella! Congratulations! I was just trying to find you on You Tube last week ..I was like " I hope Gabriella is ok". I know you struggled after your Dad passed. Understandably given the circumstances surrounding his passing. You really tugged at the strings of my heart the day you told us the story of how your Dad passed away. I have been following you for a few years and I felt really sad for you and your Famiglia. Cecilia is proof of what life is all about. Grieving our lossed loved ones and celebrating and falling in love with your newborn baby. Hoping you and Dan and baby stay healthy, happy and blessed. As my late father would always say to any new mom or pregnant women that came his way. " Hope you have as much fun raising your new baby girl as you did conceiving her" 😃😃😃. Enjoy Gabriella, make memories! big hugs. Keep being you and take care of your mental health. ALWAYS. xo

[@Sobermamma86]

A baby omg I love her just as much as I love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤congrats mom amd dad!

[@TheNomiewill]

Omg congratulations! I JUST looked at your channel the other day wondering where you went

[@ChristySalas-wt2fi]

Congratulations so glad your back to you tube missed you!!!!

[@angiemonteverde2080]

"Congratulations"! 🎉 I'm so happy to see you back on here...we missed you. My daughter 🎀 was in NICU for 1 week, they didn't allow breast feeding, but I did pump for her to drink in her bottles. She did get used to the bottle. I wanted to breast feed, I tried taking a lactation class = no luck, so I rented the hospital breast pump machine & pumped every 2-3 hrs. My breast milk 🍼 lasted until she was 13 months. I wish you the best and blessings to you family. 💕

[@redray9146]

GUUURRRLLL! Im so glad that you are back! With a baby! Im so dang happy for you! You absolutely have that beautiful motherly glow. I hope that you will be doing vlogmas? Im here for what ever you are willing to put out. CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!🥰💝💝

[@kathyy.mcbrayer5910]

I'm so very happy for you and Daniel. Hugs to you all

[@GLAMBYGABRIELLA]

Thank you!

[@genie5109]

Omgosh I kept looking at her little toes soooo adorable. Congratulations again and I pray for speedy recovery. I’m plus size and was in labor for 24 hours before they had to do an emergency c~section as well. I hope we get to see more of you and your family. Say hi to PP. ❤️💗

[@AK-vr4fi]

Congratulations & welcome to the mom’s club! I had an emergency c-section @ 24 weeks & I had thought my scar was infected because I had high fever. The wound was fine but I had developed a pelvic bloodclot. It was so hard being in a different hospital from my daughter, I had to pump & dump, so I dried up. It was a crazy ride, she’s 8 now & healthy, made it all worth it. I hated being pregnant, I was so sick. If you have another baby & are nauseous, try diclegis-lifesaver!

[@leopardpixie6614]

You’re absolutely right about getting the prevena wound vac; I had an emergency c section at 28 weeks, by c-section scar had to be done vertically and horizontally so like a cross shape, I had the prevena wound vac almost immediately and never felt pain, my incisions healed almost completely in about a week and there’s no pain with the vac at all. I’m surprised it’s not given everywhere

[@jennasuewilson]

So happy to see you! You are glowing and she is beautiful! I’m so hopeful to watch you grow as a mother and hopefully we get to see this! This was so encouraging as a plus size woman who is hoping to try soon! ❤

[@LadyJ23A]

Wow I’m late to the news, congrats!! Welcome to motherhood.

[@LenaS-j5y]

So glad you’re back! I don’t have Instagram so I was so surprised to hear about the new baby! Congratulations to you and Dan. You are my favorite You Tube influencer! So down to earth and real!❤️

[@Okay182]

[@tanjatrifunovic3155]

Congratulations on your beautiful baby ❤❤❤happy u are back..I had a daughter as a plus size we got this...she's almost 2

[@mayellarosa6988]

Oh my Congratulations, so glad to see you back. My husband and I are so proud for you, he is even glad to see you. I had told him once, that maybe she got pregnant and wanted privacy. I was right, hit it right on the button. I was worry something had happen to your Mom or uncle, hope they are doing okay. I miss your lovely smile and your lovely Family. You have made my day, today. So glad for both you and your husband. Big hugs and kisses.

[@kamcrea]

First it was so nice hearing an update and I completely agree that taking time without people commenting on your pregnancy was so smart! Second, I needed to hear your story - I deal with health anxiety too and it sounded like talking to my future self I swear. So glad you are getting the help you need and so proud of you! 💕

[@aprilcunningham7246]

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I had 4 kids, (now grown) and I was plus size then and still am. Enjoy your precious family, leave haters to hate. Many Hugs to a fellow CT native!!

[@usplus1744]

With your history I totally get why you weren’t inclined to share. Especially with society today. You are just so radiant, mom life suits you so well! I had my first ever panic attack in the hospital and I was at a bad hospital and they treated me like I was just a fat person with high blood pressure. It was 2 days before I got to see, touch or hold my son.

[@ashleydaugherty8287]

Congratulations!!!! I had no idea you had a baby. I’m so happy for you. Sooooooo happy to see you again on KZbin.

[@Yourjasminee]

I missed you so much .. do you think you’ll do vlogmas this year?? 🤞

[@nessabee9502]

I have wondered where you were! Congratulations 🎊🎉 so happy to hear you had a baby🥰❤️🫶

[@belangerjenkins]

OMG!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊 And good for you. I know it's hard for a lot of y'all influencers with the haters and no one deserves that! You do what you need to do to be the best! So happy for your new family. I know PP is ecstatic and changing the nickname to GiGi! And your Father is dancing all the way watching y'all. He's your special angel beaming that smile down on you all. So happy you're back! Stay blessed!!!!! 😊🙏🏾😊🙏🏾😊

[@stargems]

her feet omg! you look amazing. I'm glad you're healing and so bonded with your beautiful baby ❤

[@paularussell7535]

Hi Gabriella! I’m so happy to see you! I was hoping everything was okay with you. You became a mom! Congratulations! You are going to be a great mom, I know this. I’m sorry you had to suffer with all the morning sickness and other things you had to endure. Men don’t have a clue what a woman goes through. We practically go through death’s door. It’s worth it in the end. I thank God you are doing well and you have a healthy baby. Cecelia is a beautiful name. I’m 56 years old and I have 3 grown children and I vomited for 9 months with all three of my children. I know what that’s like. When you give birth to that precious baby, you tend to feel that it was all worth it. I’m so happy for you and your husband. I will be praying for you and your family that you all stay healthy and strong and it just gets better. It will!🙏🏽🙏🏽💋💋

[@onegahotmess4848]

[@lilypowder1]

I’ve been SO excited for this video! I’ve randomly checked in on your IG page these past months to see how you were & loved the little check ins you gave! I TOTALLY understand why you stayed away from KZbin while being pregnant. While a lot of the internet is nice, a lot are not kind so I don’t blame you at all. I hope you & your little family are doing well 🤍

[@karenlane7239]

Congrats she’s beautiful ❤ I was just thinking about you last night & this morning after breakfast came across this video. I have always liked your videos because you’re the type of person that people would feel like they have known you forever. I don’t have instagram so this was such a surprise!! But very happy for you & Dan , when you picked her up as soon as I saw her I could see Dan . Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤

[@maraperez7052]

[@maraperez7052]

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you and Dan. I have always admired you and thought you were a wonderful daughter and wife. I know you must be ecstatic with baby Cecilia and will be an exceptional mother. I would have done the same thing and tuned out for the pregnancy. Nothing can take away your happiness and bliss in this new chapter in your life. I am sincerely joyful that you are now a Mother, a Wife, and are happy!! Much love Gabriella to you and Dan❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tretre7989]

Awww WOW!!! Haven't watched your videos in a long while and boom you guys welcomed a new Bubba🥰🥰🥰awww so happy for you both what a beautiful surprise!! A huge congratulations to you and Dan...

[@Morsey_2]

Also I had HG during all 3 of my pregnancies, it is HORRIBLE, im wondering if that’s what you had? The feeling of finally not being sick and holding your baby is literally the BEST. My daughter had reflux as well! I wonder if HG and infant reflux is related? the first few months were rough but she grew out of it thankfully, it was tough. I can’t believe you were in labor for DAYS, good job mama you did it! Be so proud of yourself 💓

[@cma2406]

Congratulations! I've missed your videos! Plus size single mama to a 16m girlie. It is the best! Hope you're open to sharing your journey ❤

Congratulations on the new baby and also that she is sleeping through the night! You and Dan are lucky there for sure! I'm so glad you're back and looking forward to some new content with little Cecilia! How are your doggies adjusting to their little sister??
