As time goes on and Romeo gets more comfortable in front of the camera, his personality really shines.

@@christimeyer9945and what??? You should keep your negative comments to yourself. It’s so hurtful for the real people behind the camera to see rude comments like this. Be nice ❤

[@tinak6484]

I had my first, and only, baby at 37. They told me I was geriatric too and high risk. It was all perfectly fine. She is now 23 and a professional dancer in NYC!!! She moved a lot too, so maybe you are having a dancer or an athlete!!❤❤ so happy for you! Welcome to the world of pure joy, then worry, then pure joy, then worry. ❤❤ It’s the BEST!

[@sarah.fb.lindsay]

I needed to read this . I am 38 and trying to, I have been losing hope, this helped❤ thank you ❤❤

[@lindavallar2167]

I was high risk for both my pregnancies. My oldest is 31 and the youngest is 29. Idk why the say 30 is geriatric? The problems that I ran into my mother who was 15 when I was born ran into.

[@harleyanne3720]

I was 41. It went fine.

[@CourtneyBishopPOA]

I just adore watching Macenna, and Romeo, and then coming down to read all the beautiful love stories in the comments as women reflect on their own motherhood journeys and gratitude for the relationship with their husbands.. the cherry on top and so refreshing! This community is such a treat to be a part of 💖

[@MegLancaster9]

The way I GASPED when you found the Mackenzie Childs set!!! As a lover of all things MaCenna, I am so thrilled for you and your family, and I can’t wait to see all of the incredible things you accomplish! I am so grateful for you and for your content; you inspire me every day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@alieknitzer]

The way I GASPED when she was shaking it around!!! I actually got upset, and and heard my grandmother's voice saying, "Don't You Dare Drop That!" Hahaha! I'm not even into collecting and chinaware (stuff dropping gal, here), but my grandmother was, and she would have given an earful to anyone who didn't take care of that set. MaCenna's videos are always such a bright spot of the day. I am so grateful that she isn't pushing herself too much, and is just focusing on staying healthy for herself and her babe.

[@triciaharvey9936]

I love watching this beautiful journey. You're glowing and it's all just so exciting. Oh and it was so fun thrifting with you again. 😊 Love those vlogs!! Such a great find too!

[@NoYesJess]

I agree. She truly is inspiring. I've actually said to myself that if I could match anyones energy it would probably be MaCennas..the independence, the passion, the motivation....It's like she has superpowers!! She has so many beautiful qualities all wrapped up into one person. I am so grateful she shares herself with us.😊🖤

[@susanhietikko6905]

With you talking about your 5 month ultrasound it reminded me of my 5 month ultrasound in 1977. I was working at Los Angeles County Hospital as a RN. There was a OB-GYN Dr walking around the hospital looking for pregnant nurses, one for ea month of pregnancy. He wanted us to go downtown for a seminar to train Drs how to use ultrasound machines. We showed up in a banquet room of big hotel ( can't remember name). He had us drink a lot off water and for two hours we laid on beds in cubicals and a hundred or so Drs came to ea station to see and try to find each part of baby.. They were all so nice and respectful and it was so much fun. Of course we were draped for privacy, but to see the faces of the Dr when they found what they were looking for. It was a hoot, and believe me I needed to go to bathroom bad at end. I didnt want to know my baby's sex as I wanted surprise on delivery. My intuition was girl and she is a great daughter. I always joke with her it was her first photo shot.

[@marthaschermann5562]

I think you need to be looking for a lighted globe and a telescope for the nursery. You have all of those great windows and that would be a perfect spot for a telescope as baby boy gets older. Love that everything is going well for both of you.

[@tracygarrett3952]

Love this. He might become an astronomer. Maybe they will name a comet after him!!😊

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

I bought my grandson a light up moon 🌝 on Amazon. Just a light in the dark that shows the craters. Now he's older he uses the brighter colors, red, blue, green, purple at dusk.

[@princessdaaahlingamor5798]

It’s called “scanxiety” and it’s real. Folks dealing with cancer definitely experience that and it is exhausting. Definitely give yourself time to rest before and after. Lotsa love to you

[@brandyoctober5923]

Oh that makes sense 😮

[@bradloripender]

It is called an orchard ladder. It is for picking apples , peaches, etc.

[@monsesaucedo7223]

You're glowing! You guys were made to be parents together!! :'))))

[@ellaperna]

I'm so glad to hear baby boy is doing well!! ❤

[@tammyleviner3070]

Of course he's perfect!😊 I was 36 with my second/last baby so i went thru all that high risk stuff. Tip: take a pony holder, put it thru the button hole of your jeans and stretch it around the button, gives you more room and stretches when you bend or sit! Oldest hack ever😉(unless your booty gets bigger, then it won't help😆) I love seeing Romeo around more! LOVE the ladder❤ Super excited to see the nursery reveal!!😊

[@ang_131]

I had my second baby at 36 and my third at 38 (both in Canada). I was never treated as high risk. It’s so odd how different countries treat pregnancy. Like, shouldn’t it be based on science? Are different countries looking at different data?

[@dianepereira1860]

​@@ang_131Here in the US we are told that the risk of having a down syndrome baby after the age of 35 increases significantly, so that is why there are different protocols than a regular pregnancy. I'm sure it is based on science. But yes it is interesting that different countries do different things.

[@lisamolinar]

I second that emotion, all I see is the most beautiful couple ,preparing for the most joyful event in their lives 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@reneezubaty7926]

The scan, the fruit ladder the dishware and the joy you and Romeo show made this video wonderful. You are glowing MaCenna. Thank you for sharing!

[@mommab1969]

Emotional exhaustion is a real thing for sure. Plus as you lay down with a full bladder little man is pushed upwards and you are beginning to put increased pressure on your diaphragm and lungs. That will slow you down and tire you out. When really feeling it, lying on your left side is best, it takes pressure off of artery and ensures good blood flow to little bubbers. Rest lots my dear your son needs you to take care of yourself…your son MaCenna! Your son💕👶🏻🤰🏻 Happy Anniversary to you two lovebirds!! 👫🏻💕

[@charlenelindsay2019]

Dear MaCenna and Romeo, I just love how you guys OOZE happiness. I'm as excited for your baby adventure as I would be for one of my own children. I love these vlogs. Hugs💞

[@whatlolawants2167]

Fantastic ladder find! It's perfect. And you definitely had to stop at the thrift store, those Makenzie Child's were waiting there just for you.❤❤❤

[@marianvinderslev9374]

My first baby was moving so much that our ultrasound took 3 hours and we weren’t high risk. All she wanted to show was her face. Everytime they’d go to measure something important, she’d flip and show her face. Now that she’s 3, it’s so funny that her personality is so similar. She loves to take pictures. This second pregnancy, our daughter had her legs completely crossed. Refused to show her face, I had to do some laps around the office to get her to move just so we could get a small glimpse of her face.

[@pb9401]

The look on your face when you discovered the 3 pieces that matches your teapot was everything!!!!

[@lynnjohnson1413]

So cute 😂

You are glowing so much and you are just so beautiful and happy and I'm just so happy for you both!! My face hurts from smiling watching you two together 😊😍❤

[@vickirickman5828]

Holding your breathe and emotionally exhausting. Romeo is precious.

[@suzanaharmicar8644]

Every mother can relate with the worry you are feeling. It's no wonder there is a saying that children are our greatest joy and our greatest worry.... and I feel it will stay that way as long as we live and no matter how they have grown.❤

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Mama, you look amazing ❤❤, stress can really take the energy right out and all you want to do is sleep. I love the ladder and so excited to see Baby’s nursery❤❤❤❤.

[@lauralee2248]

So excited !!! I didn't show until I was 6 months then bammmm there it was, I was all belly and I waddled ..7 pounds 12 ounces, 21 inches...

[@NixBurkett1984]

1.30am here in London, but i just couldnt go to sleep without watching your Tuesday vlog. He is most definitely Romeo's son haha! I can already see them playing basketball together in a few years. I hope the fatigue eases off soon. Wishing you nothing but love, health & happiness 🩵

[@Nikibaby74]

Yes once you release all that nervous energy and stress you are relieved and then feel emotionally drained which would make you tired and more relaxed. Makes total sense when thought about. I’m glad everything went great! ❤

[@953orion]

Isn't it wonderful about this time in the pregnancy when you can feel the little butterfly swishes and flips? Amazing!!❤🎉

[@jennifergraham3752]

I will never forget the first time I felt that butterfly feeling when I was pregnant with my daughter (she will be graduating from high school this year and it feels like yesterday) 🩷🩷🩷

[@953orion]

[@CourtneyBishopPOA]

Hahaha my thoughts exactly!! I was like, Romeo?? C'mon, Macenna! 🤣🤣🤣 hilarious.

[@mariajones1931]

I understand being so excited when your baby moves. It gives you so much reassurance. I got covid during my 5th month and just feeling my baby move, I didn't care about the sickness. I was just glad she was fine.

[@tambij]

I just have to say, I really love when Romeo is on your videos. He’s such a fun, sweet guy. You two are adorable together!! It’s very obvious that he is still on cloud nine with the pregnancy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@beverleyholder3636]

Congratulations on your 15-year anniversary. .Glad everything is going well with baby ❤

[@ShainaDeCiryanPhotographer]

I highly recommend a hypnobirthing class, and listening to birth relaxations to start learning how to deal with the anxiety in a positive way. I was also 35 for my first baby (she’s 3, and has been raised peeking over my shoulders at your videos and she is SO excited also for you to be having a baby!) and had her at a birth center, and had m second baby at home at 37. Yay for a long torso also!! Your baby absorbs your feelings, so reconnecting with your breath is a great practice that you can share with your child as they grow and learn how to deal with their own big emotions.. wishing you the best, and hoping you can find a positive focus to center yourself in with this pregnancy and birth.

[@psofabulous]

I am so excited for you and Rome! Also, I'm glad to hear that baby boy is doing well and can't wait to see his little room.😊 I am sure it's going to be beautiful! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!🎉❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉

[@SeaTurtle515]

Your ladder find is great. 22:53 We lived in a rural part of Ventura county and were surrounded by avocado and citrus orchards. These were the ladders the fruit pickers used, maybe still do. Narrower at the top to fit between the branches.

[@emg7717]

I had to get an ultrasound every week and i loved/hated it. I was hurting after every time because of the pushing and moving sooo exhausted but i got to see my babies so i pushed through it! Lol bittersweet ❤

[@colleenmasse9368]

Your exhausted because of the emotional attachment to it also. So happy for the both of you. You are glowing 😊

[@tambij]

💙 Baby Boy is going to be Perfect 👍. It is exhausting because because it’s so much information, it’s stressful, exciting, it’s a lot going on. You are so lucky that you have a long torso. I’m 5ft2in. I had 3 beautiful daughters and they were all over 9lbs.

[@flis9618]

I totally understand how it can be exhausting with all the emotions & also the fact that you don’t really know what the different scans include but I’m so happy that everything went alright & that he’s doing amazing ❤️ The ladder can also be used as a place for all his different blankets just like you have in your living room because you always need more storage 😊

[@indiabilly]

I love the ladder I have one myself, my baby boys (25 and 22 now) climbed all over it and still climb now xx

[@jeffvenables4845]

Hi Macenna! Yes, baby boy takes after Romeo as far as being active, but last time I checked mama is pretty active too!! 😃 Your ladder is very cool! And your nursery is going to be magical. I happened to find an authentic old orchard ladder, which is perfectly chippy white. I have it in my living room, leaned against the wall with white doilies hanging from it. I love it!! Enjoy the process of creating your nursery. It makes for happy, forever memories. 🧸💕 ~Cathy

So many great moments to share today! Our children are 30 and 37 in March and April. Watching you and Romeo brings it right back like it was yesterday. Such joy, such excitement and such worry for that special peapod growing inside of you 🤎 I’m watching on 2/7 in Nor Cal. Take note of the rain in the background because there are flood warnings all through California right now!

[@rneustel388]

I have several of the black and white Mackenzie Childs pieces that I bought for my mother when she retired, and when she went to assisted living, my cousin took them, but now they’ve been returned to me. I have no one to pass them to, or any friends that are interested in them, either. They still look new when I looked at them after they were returned to me. I want someone to enjoy them, but I’ve never tried selling something online. There’s a first time for anything! I’m so happy you were able to find those items at the Goodwill.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

It's how they've lasted this 15 years, more in love than ever. And will continue to move happily through life together. Showing consideration and being a true helpmeet is one of the most important parts of a lasting relationship. Sadly, a lot of people offer help and encouragement and kind words/compliments readily to acquaintances or co- workers, but treat their significant others as if they AREN'T significant at all. It's the old saying that familiarity breeds contempt - contempt meaning lack of respect in this instance. While they tease each other, it's clearly always in fun and never with bad intent. And it's a joy to watch them together, showing their love in beautiful, quiet ways.

[@CatherineBrown-c3i]

Glad your ultrasound went well. You got a great haul. I love seeing you and Romeo work on things together. Happy 15 years!🎉

My husband and I discuss spontaneity all the time. I’m a creature of habit and routine, he’s a “fly by the seat of your pants” kind of guy. You two cracked me up.
