Preparing For Our First Baby | Nest With Me Vlog

[@amandahomebody]

The unsolicited opinions about your bump will just keep coming unfortunately 🤦🏻‍♀️ Can we all just agree that we should only be saying things like, “you are beautiful and absolutely glowing!” Which you ARE, Carrie! And your hair looks especially beautiful! So happy for you and Alex!

[@CarrieRad]

ugh they are just the best!! :) thank you so much xx

[@dyanitoia739]

Unfortunately postpartum too… best thing I did was set boundaries up strongly and early. I did a whānau rules and posted it on my story and have them at the front door.

[@thelittlehomeaustralia]

The bump comments ‘oh my god you must be having twins!’ Really broke me during my first pregnancy. Seriously . Women just need to stop

[@THEOGLESBYOHANA]

Your bump is perfect!!! It’s YOURS. ❤

[@daynamcfadyen4814]

Lamington socks are the best! 😍

[@JuliaRaeConnor]

This was a very cozy, happy vlog, and exactly the type of content I escape to youtube for haha. I'm so happy you're uploading throughout your pregnancy Carrie!

[@CarrieRad]

That's all I hope for when I post! I want you to feel cozy and like we're just hanging out! thank you for watching!! xx

[@Talisha90]

Lucy’s little hops are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen 🥰

[@valerieburnham7373]

Yeaahh rugby!!! We play a really good level in Canada!! ❤

[@HeyItsMaori]

This is beautiful to watch. I am excited for you.

[@smplfylife]

Awww I was thinking how cute it will be to see baby clothes hanging on your clothes line next year 🥰

[@mary1209]

I’ve been a viewer since the beggining (fun fact, we also share the same birthday and year 😂) so I feel like we’ve grown together. This is my first comment ever, I just wanted to thank you for your content. You have no idea how happy I am for you guys! ❤️ I also love how we share the seasons now, I’m from Argentina and we are in spring as well. I hope you have a lovely day!

[@CarrieRad]

aw wow this melted me! thank you so much for being around this long. I appreciate you tons!! that is SO COOL we have the same birthday and year!!!!!! woah.

[@jennsigmund620]

In the words of Alex, it's a good bump! You look so gorgeous!

[@catietotty4250]

I love this video! We have a mastiff/Great Dane mix rescue dog and two little kids. We keep our dogs toys in a basket in the living room and he knows which ones are his and which ones are the kids! I’m sure Lanka will be a great big brother ❤

[@mrsrebeccahobson]

You’re glowing Carrie ❤

[@CarrieRad]

thank you so much

[@trtlduv07]

Soooo happy for you love! Also awwww Lucy 💚💚💚

[@Tccr1123]

OMG!! I’m due at the end of November I wish you were ahead of me so I could follow your steps but I guess a couple of months behind is not that bad. We are expecting a boy!! 🎉🎉

[@JackyWacky1]

One of my favorite KZbin couples are pregnant!!! So happy for you and Alex 💕

[@ScrunchyCara]

I’m so excited for you!! I just shared my beautiful first birth vlog on my channel today :) I watched a lot of them in my nesting phase so wanted to put mine out there for other mamas to be!! All the best to you !!!

[@pohutukawahealth6123]

Lol I'm a Canadian who lives in NZ and am also obsessed with hang drying my laundry. Re: covering your electric box in the guest cottage - another KZbinr that i love Alexandra Gater just did this in her latest makeover by taping a magnet to the back of a piece of art. Covers the box but still easy access 😊

[@wiltedspinachcat3472]

i live in the states and have been hang drying my laundry (inside on a drying rack) since high school bc i used to shop cheap fast fashion and one time in the dryer would completely shrink my clothes. 10 years later and i cringe at the thought of putting my soaking wet clothes into the dryer. i only put them in the dryer for 10 minutes or less after they're completely dry to de wrinkle.

[@CatzMarina]

This vlog is so wholesome with you being pregnant and your new baby lamb 🧡I am really happy for you guys ☺

[@ravensweetheart3419]

Wow girlie 🎉you are having a B🎉A🎉B🎉Y!!! I have watched you since you were in Cali and I would watch you do your makeup,thrifting and giving reviews on good smelling candles while I sat and watched you eating pizza on a Friday night! Now I get B🎉A🎉B🎉Y content 😮😮 I am just so proud of you!❤

[@KristenMelissa]

I think you are just Glowing and absolutely Beautiful Carrie!! 💕💕💕 Aw this vlog was so peaceful and comforting to watch. You both have created such a warm and inviting space in your home and cottage and the land is stunning and the animals are adorable! 😍✨️💖

[@dillianrivera9478]

Congratulations and blessing don’t pay attention to all comments you look amazing

[@docimma]

Congratulations! I’ve missed so much 🎉❤

[@TaeJenRoss]

I am South African, and we ( Springboks) are versing the All Blacks next week for the finals. May the best team win 😁 such a beautiful vlog 🌺

[@colleenbarry]

I loved this vlog! The cottage looks wonderful! You are so beautiful and radiant, Carrie! I am so happy for you and Alex. Take care. ❤

[@adriannegentleman83]

hanging you washing on the line in the sun, also sanitizes it. it gets much cleaner when hung out in the sunshine.

[@Chelsiforous]

I'm a "transitional seasons" girl too and no one else has ever really explained it like that. That's EXACTLY how I feel!

[@clipsandthings1]

Can you share a link of those jars? I got similar ones but the size of your jars is exactly what I need. Thank you…and congrats. You’re glowing!! ❤

[@myahlopez8552]

I’ve been nesting hard core lol! I’m 31 weeks and will have to deliver early because of my blood pressure issues. I’ll be sharing a room with my baby and I just set up a nursing cart💗

[@CarrieRad]

aww congrats!!! so exciting!!

[@tiffanygipe6735]

Sleep sacs are great! We are loving those for our second babe.

[@natashajayne4431]

I feel like you should know about Woolino sleep sacks!

[@lemonita347]

I think a lot of people don’t hang dry in bigger cities because it’s so dusty and the wind blows road dust everywhere so your clothes just get dirty hang drying. Like the sand and salt they use in the winter in Canada blows all summer long even when they clean the streets.

[@pamelabarber1033]

Thanks enjoyed watching your video best wishes congrats to you both

[@joagomez6912]

I'm so excited to see your journey 🎉 thanks for sharing it ❤

[@lissie7322]

Like you, I loved watching nesting videos, what to buy for baby, etc.. everyone always said “don’t get the jammies without zippers because no one wants to be doing 100 snaps in the middle of the night.” I couldn’t agree less! I loved the ones with snaps because they were much easier to take off and put on. I had a hard time getting my baby’s little legs into the zip ones because she would lock her little knees and I’d have to wait until she would bend to slip her little leg in the jammies. That’s not a problem with snaps! Everyone has an opinion when it comes to anything baby. Whether it be your bump size, how often you hold your baby, the way you feed your baby…. etc. 😒 Just remember that everyone’s experience is different and you don’t have to listen to everyone’s unsolicited advice. Enjoy every moment of YOUR pregnancy journey and YOUR sweet little baby. Also, I love how the guest cottage is turning out. It looks great!

[@makere01]

With each pregnancy, your bump will be different. Super cute 🥰

[@glyniskevey7722]

Love the updates, you’re glowing ❤..for some reason, everyone seems to have advice around pregnancy and new borns 😒..I learnt to politely smile and move the conversation on 😂..oh my gosh guest cottage looking 👌

[@angelap32]

LOVE THIS VLOG!!! the baby girls clothes are soo stinking cute!! Lucy is adorable awww ...you are Glowing Carrie abd your baby bump is beautiful❤💐 the sleepout looks awesome...great work by both you and Alex ❤

[@zopplo8300]

Shes so cute😊

[@clairebowen5899]

🥹💗so happy for you guys can’t wait for more videos

[@queens6583]

I love Lucy and the merry trio look so handsome. The sleep out is beautiful and I can't wait to see how you furnish the living room. So wish we were going into spring and summer here in the states. I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys. Baby clothes are the cutest, but they grow out of the newborn and 3-6 month clothing fast. Buy some things for when they get older too because the baby gifts start to dwindle down. You look perfectly happy and healthy Carrie.

[@Jill3953]

Hang dry by putting shirts on a plastic hanger. They come out perfect, fresh and ready to hang in the closet. It saves $$$ monthly electric costs. For me I think it’s about $30/ month.

[@sarahn5057]

What protein powder do you use during pregnancy? I’m 21 weeks and would love to switch to a more prenatal specific brand :) thank you so much and love the videos!

[@robyndavies2762]

We know 2 German girls who did workaway in Tauranga but i think they called it something else

[@nannajaysadventures]

What about creating a little fake cottage house with doors, or a barn box to cover the electricals :D

[@chelsw4066]

Farmers teeny weeny sleepsuits are amazing and make life so easy especially if your just chilling at home. Sleepsacks are so so awesome, sleepstore have amazing options and a good rewards program

[@anthony.3614]

Hi Carrie, here in Australia I'm also obsessed with those Chobani yoghurts, I love when they have limited editions like blood orange 😍 or pineapple and lime 😍🤤

[@bakangm1768]

Please tell Alex that South Africa is actually the best rugby nation in the world and that we’ll see the All Blacks at finals this weekend 😂🎉 Our guys are going to win it again like they did in 2019!

[@annmcnamara8]

Carrie you look radiant and happy Alex must be delighted Enjoy your waiting time .The baby cloths are so beautiful Best wishes to you all

[@CarrieRad]

thank you 🫶🌷💓

[@MagicUltrasound]

Congrats on your little baby!!! We'd love to make a virtual unborn photoshoot for you when you're 32 weeks+ :) All best wishes to the family!

[@fionahislop2889]

Go get a 2nd jellicat bunny!!!! You will be so happy you do as soon as she is old enough to drop it somewhere and the world is over! A 2nd is a life saver and you can swap and wash and wear them out the same. Oh my lord - if the favourite toy can't be found..... you have no idea..... but will find out lol.

[@kimovenden7484]

Here for the nesting content and little Lucy's jumps 😍 Where is your necklace from? It's beautiful!

[@TheLeealice]

I really love it when people comment on the size of baby/pepi rather than you the mumma. Also domes are amazing, zips are over rated in my opinion because they often make a wave along babys body instead of laying flat.

[@megancrawford1859]

We stopped buying plush dog toys so our dog knows all of the bones and rope toys and rubber ball toys are hers, and the plushy things are baby's!

[@thejulietocean]

Our dogs KNOW what things are the baby’s things. But I think that might be dog to dog whether they care or not 😂

[@roxananunez4238]

You look so beautiful pregnant ❤

[@CarrieRad]

wow thanks so much 🥹

[@roxananunez4238]

@@CarrieRadyou’re very welcome ❤❤

[@LeaFredrickson-v1j]

Do a stargazing video:)

[@escapereallife7128]

Don't buy too many warm 0 size clothes Carrie, because you normally swaddle babies in nice warm cute blankets...from my experience anyways. tc

[@lindawinblad4105]
