SAN DIEGO MEGA VLOG SPECIAL!

[@Darkshinebaby91]

hey matt! my husband and I have a friend who has 8 herniated discs in his back. doctors said he should be paralysed but he's not. he's currently training to become a professional boxer and doing really well. all things are possible with Christ.

[@oliviakoskela4477]

My sister went through alot of leg/knee problems due to cross country running in junior high and high school and it was not pretty. She was out a lot, but in the end she got the help she needed and her senior year she made it to state! She was always so mad at herself and that only made it worse. Its best just to get all the feelings out. Stay positive and know that we are here for you!

[@LittleShayman]

19:16 That leaf was like "I'm gonna get you!"

[@CryingZombie666]

+Little Shayman lol

[@ZoaRiv]

This is a Montage of loveliness.

[@MatthiasArcade]

:)

[@rhiannas.7273]

+Matt & Amanda I'm so sorry u have to deal with that ilysfm!!! feel better plzzz 😍

[@kkxahiru]

+Matt & Amanda hey I don't normally comment on things but I thought I might share this. I have a bulging disc at L4 and L5 from a wreck. I started to go see a chiropractor that I found and she has helped a lot not just with that but with a lot of other aches and pains that relate back to the spine. I'm sure you get a lot of advice and all so I don't want to over step my boundaries or anything but I just wanted to share because it is a more natural therapy compared to steroid injections and such. I also know there a lot of quack chiropractors out there but there are very good ones too you just need to research and ask around.

[@jessicalynne4350]

+Matt & Amanda Matt get a massage on your back or I think coldness helps. But a massage will help. And maybe stretch it out but like yoga. I hope u feel better soon!😄👍👍

[@ChloeCluckDuck]

+Matt & Amanda so many awkward smiley faces:o haha love you guys

[@Meganigan]

Matthias - your parents seem like the sweetest most awesome people. Your dad makes me laugh so hard. You are a lucky guy to have the beautiful family that you do!

[@avy0226]

Your dad is such a typical awesome dad. :3

[@purpleflyingdolphin4015]

I'll be praying for you to have a beautiful healthy baby girl and for Amanda as she's going through these 9 months and for you to be completely healed from head to toe. 😊

[@oliviageyer5716]

37 minutes of Matt and Amanda? YES PLEASE!

[@jazmynlewis7525]

I know this is kinda weird, but your family actually feels like my family :) everyone in your family cares for the viewers and it feels like home ❤️

[@iiLadybuq]

I wish it was my family

[@larrythelatypus]

no Amanda I have the same thing people who bite into ice cream or popsicles just makes me cringe and gives me chills ugh ITS SO WEIRD AND UNCOMFORTABLE AND COLD

[@noorkaddoura163]

Lauren W me too

[@lauren2081]

lauren w same

[@iiLadybuq]

It’s weird I can’t even bite into the freezies

[@maegan1845]

"Is it bigger then God?" Just adorable...

[@belladilly5903]

Maegan I know right!!!!❤️

[@its_justlexie]

I hope everything gets better soon Matthias. God bless you, Amanda, and the baby. I'm keeping you in my prayers! ❤with much love from Michigan

[@maryamjamal8395]

I like how you guys are so interactive with your subscriber community, its so nice

[@MatthiasArcade]

:)

[@TheRekhasharma2001]

Matt & Amanda love you

[@rebeccaritchie4312]

Amanda is going to be such a great mom, oh my gosh!

[@elissamonroe673]

awe, I can see Amanda's baby bump.!.!. We found out Amanda was pregnant like a week after I found out my mom was pregnant, so I sorta feel like we're going through the this together. Also this has really taught me how different every ones pregnancies are. Ily 🌻

[@michaelg9688]

Matt, I've never had a bulging/herniated disc before, but I have overthought many things, so I think the best thing for you to do is to not think about it, and then in a couple months you'll be able to enjoy your beautiful new life with your daughter. Just spreading some positive vibes!

[@FerreroRashaie]

Oh My God! The boats. Matthias don't you remember the scene in Stewart Little? the boat race I mean. that would totally be an awesome idea for Team Edge! 😜👍🙌

[@beanbag4872]

I idolise the relationship Matt and Amanda have..

[@runic_vvolf]

My father has always had back pain. Growing up, he rarely played catch or anything because the pain would be on and off. He worked as a maintenance man at an air port and was also a emergency responder, so healing was rare. This of course didn't effect our love and care for each other, but it did make me feel... like my dad wasn't like others. But I grew to love him so much more because he was my father! I hope your back gets better soon, but try not to worry about it effect your relationship with Luna. I'm positive you'll still be an amazing dad, and you could be just a head and she'd love you the same!

[@VampireFlowerArts]

I am so sorry to hear that you have problems with the disc and pinched nerves. I'm glad you were able to figure it out though, from what you’ve talked about in these pasted video's i had a few suspicions but that never easy to take in. I've suffered from disc problems since I was 16 and I'm 23 now. It's not easy and that stays with you and acts out at the slightest movement but you can manage it. Yoga has saved me countless times and I know you will find a way to get passed this, for not only you but for your family too. I wish you the best and hope that your able to get it to a better point. My prayers are with you and Amanda.

[@totodialed]

QOTD: I try not to plan too heavily when going on trips. Perhaps an outline of places/attractions I definitely want to see, but at the same time I want to leave myself open to other possibilities that I can discover once I've arrived. I find that it's a much more fulfilling experience that way, and more about engaging with/learning about a place & less about following a checklist/timed schedule which can be distracting (same issue I have with following tour groups that appeal to comfort zones rather than authentic experiences)

[@emmaburns5413]

"Puppy...Monkey...Baby..." Lol my friends were obsessed with that ad for the longest time!

[@beast2539]

oh my goodness. my dad laugh/wheezes the same way as your dad. and Bella and Ariana being consumed in the giant beach ball is adorable.

[@Nobody-jt7dw]

I saw the title, clicked it and immediately smiled at your beautiful face and how long the video was... :) Thank you Matthias and Amanda for always making us happy! :D

[@brianlinthicum8424]

I live in San Diego and I go to Paradise Point many times every year. I love it over there and believe that I’ve stayed in room 507 also. I’m so happy that you guys chose San Diego for the first edge games and had a meal at the barefoot bar. The pond used for the mini boats is really cool, it’s used for events quite a bit and the water is only like 2 feet deep. As I was watching the video it really made me want to go back, the resort is so fun and the pool is great. My favorite part is that there is water falls everywhere you look.

[@bernadettetan5793]

I've lived in SD all my life and now I go to San Diego State University so I love seeing you guys visit all these places!! I'm very glad you all had a great time and I hope you get well soon Matt! 😊

[@dorygeancunningham8027]

Amanda, I am like you. I spend a lot of time looking for stuff to do, but then we spend most of the time just chilling and relaxing.

[@GirlInGlassCage]

I have hypermobility and the start of osteoarthritis in all my joints and my son is currently 8.5kg and when you look when you just think stuff the pain and agony I want a cuddle. just make sure you get rest and heat packs are my saviours and hot baths :) good luck with everything and so glad you both feel better x

[@GirlInGlassCage]

forgot to add my spine is the worst for both the conditions

[@hansmorrison5847]

i cant wait to see luna grow up and everything its so exciting

[@megjoyce18]

I'm glad you guys are getting to feeling better and the vacation was nice! Hope you recover well, Matthias, and hope you stay happy and healthy too, Amanda

[@Justlov4]

You will be ok Matthias. I know many people in my life who have injured their backs such as herniated, slipped, bulging, ruptured discs, and they all live normal lives now. It is tough at the time, but you just need to remember your goal of getting better. Do it fo your daughter and yourself. Be happy and rest as much as you can. Remember it could always be so much worse. You will get through this. You are awesome Matthias and I know you will be great father. Ps. I love your dad's laugh. He is hilarious.

[@jackprice9072]

Dear Matt and Amanda. My father's back and should have been having trouble for years. What you have to remember is just don't work yourself out. But you can take comfort in the fact that my father having a bad back didn't negatively affect me or my two brothers. Now I understand not everybody is the same, but if you can send a child love, that is the most important thing. Good luck with your back Matt!

[@cecilychristine2923]

Aw, you guys are going through so much during this pregnancy! Take care of yourselves! :)

[@kylewsimpson]

my mother suffers from the EXACT same problem everyday. She has a herniated disk that will never heal. She suffers from back and leg pain everyday, exactly as you described! Years ago she had a surgery that attempted to fix it, but unfortunately scar tissue grew around her spine and has made it almost impossible to fix without a high risk of paralysis. Definitely do what the doctors say, you don't want to end up with back pain for the rest of your life. Also, its nice to see you back again Matt.

[@MatthiasArcade]

Dang that's intense! Thanks for the warning.

[@kylewsimpson]

No problem, also make sure if you need surgery that you understand the risks or if there are any alternatives!

[@pTARAdactyl97]

My family is going to Hawaii next week. We researched a lot of different activities, but we just picked out a few so that we can just relax and do whatever the rest of the time. I'm so excited.

[@RixiePixie25]

Take care of yourself Matthias. I deal with Fibromyalgia and side effects of Lymes Disease daily. It's hard. It's really hard. One of the reasons I love your channel so much, your positivity. I avoid the negative and surround myself in all the positive vibes.

[@holylightbulb]

I'm so sorry about the possible herniated disc. My dad had that and he was in so much pain and when he got the operation he felt so much better! I wish you all the best with that Matthias! :-)

[@Kiyoko0tani]

I can empathize about back pain, I messed mine up good in a car accident when I was 19. I also have a daughter and yes being active with a baby did aggravate my back, but when she was a newborn she slept in a bassinet height crib (meaning the pad was up higher since she couldn't move around much) , so I didn't have to bend over to pick her up out of it for some time. Going to a chiropractor helped sooooo much, I unfortunately had to stop going because I moved and now my back is back to hurting more, though not as bad as it used to. I don't think you need to worry so much. Good luck to you and I hope your back and leg issues get better!

[@shawnabasallo7515]

OMG when she said bigger than God, I literally died!!! My heart exploded! #Greatparenting

[@xfnilleh8212]

hey guys... the bird with the funny feed is a "vadefugl" - wader. it's feet is made so it can run across seaweed or other natural stuff on lakes or on the sea (: . just a little information.. and happy you both are doing better. Amanda you look amazing an glowy, and Matt keep up the beard it suites you very well (:

[@Leeland101mac]

Amanda has the same phone case as ilikeweylie ! It was so bloody adorable when Ariana asked if the ball was as big as God xD PS, Matthias, I saw that spit at 24:43 lol

[@embracethestorm_x]

I feel your pain so much with the back issues. I've had problems with mine for almost 7 years (since having my daughter), and it was only after excruciating sciatica last year the docs sent me for an mri, and diagnosed a bulging disc. Trying to get it sorted here in the uk has been a massive uphill struggle, with being passed from pillar to post and not really getting any help! I would say, make sure you push them to sort you out before it gets that far! All the best to you and Amanda! x

[@shy_6052]

Hey Matthias, so recently within the past few months I've taken an interest to J-Fred's channel. Within every video I watched, j-Fred made me think about loving God or loving family or to just be thankful for what you have. I am catholic but I've never took the time to think about what that really means. So to hear about what is happening with your leg and how you still try to make the situation a positive is just... Unbelievable. If it makes a difference, I will prey for your leg to get better so that you can spend all your time with your daughter. Thank you for being such a big part of many people's lives, including mine.

[@shy_6052]

And by your *leg I meant your back sorry.

[@908lmfao]

Amanda's getting big! I cant wait to see Luna❤️

[@mariahresendez8875]

Matt I understand what your going through with your leg. I also have very very low sensation in my left leg and get similar stabbing pain, tingly sensation, and muscle spasms. I however have Spina Bifida Oculta, which required 2 spinal (L5- T4) surgeries and will require more in the future. Staying positive with your daily pain is a struggle but finding the beauty of the day helps me at least. I know that you can do it! Your an awesome person and have an amazing family with a great support group. If you want to talk to me more about it, I'm open to your opinions and questions :)

[@Dovakween]

YAY! You're finally back! I missed these vlogs! totally understand why you have bother been gone and I hope your health continues to get better! God bless you both :)

[@yusrabaig9408]

Seriously Matthias your dad is HILARIOUS!!!😂

[@noniemurphy3152]

Memorable weekend! The boat races were straight out of "Stuart Little" ❤️

[@tracejohnson6273]

Hearing you talk about your back and Luna terrifies me, because I was on the other end of that. My dad had herniated disks and some other back problems. Growing up we couldn't do much together that a father and son would. I hope and pray that there are no physical inhibitions to the experiences you can share with your daughter, because I constantly am sobered by the thought of what my dad and I missed out on. I don't want you or Luna to have to know what that feels like. But absolutely don't let any fears or complications bring you down. God will take care of you.

[@Iampanda1993]

I pinched a major nerve in my back and it hurts but I feel like my headaches will never go away. they cause headaches, leg numbness and pain. but watching y'all has helped me. its tough but you can do it

[@Zerrudo_]

I was taking allergy meds on a daily basis because of a pet allergy. It took me months after suffering joint problems in my knees and shoulder pains to figure out why I was in soo much pain. Turned out the medication was causing it. After I stopped cold turkey the symptoms slowly faded. Thank god!

[@Brandonlandis]

donut shops on the beach are my kind of date

[@8jerasikapark8]

I had surgery for my l5 and I am so glad I did. I spent a year after my back injury (literally turning the wrong way & then the disc was so enlarged) my leg was in so much pain. I tried so many different things even the cortisone shots & felt immediately better after surgery.

[@faythesanders6829]

"I'm hovering dog", "It's enormous!", "YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE!", "Whaaa?","How cute", ahhhh. The great quotes from matthias.

[@sammigamer1649]

WHAT!!!" I literally yelled that when amanda said that Matthias never tried dippin dots!!!!!!

[@raystetler8175]

I feel your pain, Matt! I have nerve damage that affects my right leg with the same symptoms. Mine results from an injury I got in the Air Force during basic training back in 1983. A suggestion that I have for you is to use alternating heat/cold on your lower back. For me I like to use heat that is a little more than I think I can stand and use it for about 30 minutes. Another thing that can help lower back problems is to build up your core (although I think you really can't build up your core any more than you are now as skinny as you are). Take care, my friend!

[@Jonnie153]

8:53 aw Amanda holding her baby 😊

[@SeekingShadowTMAlex]

"you pull it out too slow!" "That's what she said." MATT OMG

[@colorfulcactus8026]

I know I think it's funny how no one commented about that and was commenting about that leaf that was on camera for like 2 seconds

[@stacey2719]

"Pulled out too slow, that's what she said." HOW WAS THIS JUST GLOSSED OVER?!

[@dreamkiller3399]

XD IKR LOL

[@lihuanlueric]

Love your whole family, Matt and Amanda!

[@LydiaR23]

I just started watching this vlog and I had to make a comment. The reason I found your channel was because I got a herniated disk in my back and I needed something to do/watch while I was spending so much time "not sitting, bending, lifting, pushing, pulling, etc." so I came to KZbin and watched a bunch of challenge videos for entertainment and came across your main channel and your vlogs. It has helped a lot to have all your videos to watch and I'm really thankful for it!

[@LydiaR23]

+L.J. Kinde Also, my doctor had told me that walking is the best thing for your back. He had me walk at least 5 miles a day and it does help a lot!

[@victoriaross9941]

+Matt & Amanda I send all my love to you from Canada! hope all 3 of you feel better soon!

[@TubaBuddha]

An incline table will help with your back/leg pain. It will stretch, relax & decompress your spine. Makes a huge difference! And far less expensive than chiropractic and specialist visits.

[@chesterforrester7548]

I would recommend chinese acupunture for your back, and therapeutic physical therapy in water,swimming without extenuating yourself can make a major improvement in your health. Of course,supervised and with proffesional advice. Hope you'll get better!

[@kaydoskye]

OMG AMANDA ONLY 3 MONTHS BEFORE YOU DELIVER LUNA TO THIS WORLD YAYAYYAA

[@aggressivepacifist]

No

[@cora729]

more like 4-5

[@Deadlable]

someone needs to teach you about babies lol.

[@bekilledandlive]

Well seeing as its her first baby like a lot of women she will likely be over due and pregnancy actually last 10 months (40 weeks) she still got a good bit of baby bump fun to go 😄yay

[@Deadlable]

+Holly Caust I actually haven't known a lot of women to be over due. (Not saying you're wrong. just giving my experience.) I've not had a baby, but I really want one. My husband on the other hand \-_-/ I don't know. My best friend was induced, with her first child. So naturally it would be at 9 months. She is currently pregnant with her second child, and she wants to go to term on her own. So I can't wait to see when her baby decides they're tired of being locked up lol. My other friend went to term with her first born, and she was a few weeks from her due date. But both her and my best friend was in labour for 24hrs. sorry lol. I know you probably don't care, I just love talking about babies. I have the baby blues really bad.

[@kens_intens]

I always look forward for these, and now a 30 minute long vlog?? I'm ready!!

[@madlydesignco]

They used to be nuclear power plants but they no longer use them due to the fact that some critical pipes broke. It was deemed unsafe to work in but they can't move them because of the hazardous materials. San Diegans sometimes refer to them as the boobs haha. I am excited you get to explore my hometown!

[@RenRenRoseVA]

matt and amanda! I missed you guys, also my step mum had my little sister Emily on Monday ^.^ she went home today and I will meet her Friday. I am excited for you guys to have little Luna and I hope you'll be able to carry her Matt, you are both gonna be great parents ^.^

[@gingermint1230]

I hope you guys have an awesome day! All good intentions to you from my family too.

[@ladywidow109]

So glad you guys had fun here in San Diego! 😊

[@mooglepip9264]

I had the same thing with my back - two herniated discs, I had day surgery and the pain was gone immediately and I only had 3-4 months of physiotherapy afterwards. You're lucky they got you an MRI straight away my doctors didn't give me one till I had been complaining of pain for 2 years!

[@oocombz]

lol the camera realization was freakin priceless. Ty for the laughs

[@asuwannabe2015]

My answer to the question of the day is this: it depends on where I'm going. If I've been to the place many times and I know what I like to do around there then no. But if it's a new place I definitely like to research what is around the hotel or resort I'm staying at so I know what I'm going to be able to experience.

[@ListenToAFriend]

I injured my back last summer while I was babysitting where I had a pinched nerve and a hairline fracture in my lower back. It was painful for me to pick anything up that weighed more than 5 pounds and if i sat down, I had to be prepared for a painful 5-10 minutes of trying to get back up. It still hurts when I overwork myself and being a college student with heavy books makes it worse. Wearing a back brace helped relieve pressure on the nerves.

[@jordanperske95]

Normally my vacations require me to fish and get up at 6 am and fish til 4:30 pm everyday. I do this every summer and catch tons of fish. Me and my dad fish over by Coos Bay and head out into the ocean when its foggy, we use the GPS to help us find a school of fish so we can put out our rods.

[@caitlinhill9098]

During my junior/senior year of high school (2014-15) I had a slipped disk and a bulging disk. Physical therapy was the greatest thing. Best thing to do is to get your back strong first before trying to fix the disk. Without a strong core, it can hurt your back worse.

[@maceyskidmore4942]

My mum had exactly what you have, she had to have an operation and couldn't work for around 6 weeks but now she is fine. So don't worry!

[@Tiffany-lh2kn]

Lol your dad is such a dad. I love it.

[@SullieBee]

Amanda, you're gonna be a great mommy❣Luna is very lucky.

[@kittkat1488]

Awww Amanda and Matthias are gonna me amazing parents :) this video is so amazingggg!

[@dainhernandezsegovia3951]

The further u go the more I know thanx for expanding my knowledge of locations so far stuck in home 😘

[@TalonStormCrow]

Were you all at or near SeaPort Village? I used to go there all he time as a kid and early teen before I moved to the East Coast. I haven't been back to Cali since I was 16 (1996) and I miss it so so much. Nice to see the Cornado Bridge is still tall and proud in the background too!

[@MrSWphoto]

Just love the way your dad tried to defrost the yogurt 😂😂

[@iiLadybuq]

Sean Wright that’s the best

[@IzzyDizzy212]

I wish you and Amanda the best. Hope you make it back safe.

[@kristinanewling7585]

QOTD: I try to plan out all my trips, but especially if I am going with family or friends, we end up not doing anything I planned. On another note, Amanda you are so cute with your little baby bump

[@katielindgren1553]

CLICKED SO FAST

[@jessicalynne4350]

IKR!

[@matthewvredenburg205]

I love the jacksfilms style not-so-upload-schedule!

[@sporks5590]

You guys are both awesome! Your so interactive with your subscribers as if they were your family! Few you tubers can do that! I wish the boat for both of you!

[@sporks5590]

Best, not boat

[@MatthiasArcade]

What if we wanted a boat tho... 😆

[@BlairTh3Witch]

I have chronic back problems, and one of the things my chiropractor told me to do was to take a vitamin called Bromelain on a daily basis. she said it's like a natural anti inflammatory. I also take Formula 303 which is a natural muscle relaxer (careful though becuase those can make you sleepy). I hope you feel better!! :)

[@BlairTh3Witch]

I've been taking the Bromelain daily (for nearly a year) and it doesn't completely take away the pain, but it really does help. so does the formula 303, but I only take that one when I've put a lot of extra strain on my back throughout the day.

[@kaydoesrandomshiz]

26:37 also.... my mom is a teacher and she wakes up at 4:00 EVERY DAY during the week! she stays up late too due to her lesson planning.... she wishes she could sleep till 5:30. sometimes she actually does. #crazy schedule

[@JaggedJacii]

Definitely check with your doctor, but after my father had surgery to fix a spinal injury (which I believe was a herniated disk but it was about 10 years ago now so I'm not 100% sure) he was limited to lifting no more than 5kg/approx 10lbs. Most babies are about 7.5lbs at birth so you should, provided your doctor confirms, definitely be able to lift your baby.

[@andesaurus3547]

That powerplant you saw was the San Onofre Power Plant or otherwise called a name that is a female body part in the chest area xD. My family calls them that. I don't know if anyone else does. Anyways! QOTD: I research my vacation spot weeks before leaving so that I have an idea of what activites I want to do. Sometimes I do them and sometimes I don't. Weather usually takes part in those plans and likes to ruin certain things.

[@GleeFreak53]

Oh my gooosh! You two are so freakin' cute together! Glad that you had a good vacation, and had fun with the fam! Love you both :)

[@rachelmartz4242]

My dad has a herniated disk. The only reason to be paranoid is if you're bending over really far or for long periods of time. My dad's a mechanic, and he's also much older than you (about 50), so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. You're much younger, and from what I know, you don't seem to have a strenuous job. :) Hope this helped.

[@cohenh6417]

some people say you're not good enough but I think you're the best youtuber I know on youtube and Amanda is a great girl and you and her are just beautiful together

[@sonnyluv1221]

Woot! Woot! San Diego represent!

[@mandyjeppsen9439]

dear matthias, I love the statment you made at the begining of the vid. you should always voice your fellings because it fill like something is serious but then you talk to someone about it and you find out its not that serious. I alwas talk to my mom when i fill bad.

[@residenthipster5240]

"is it bigger than God?" soooo cute :)

[@dellaneykramer1089]

I feel your pain Matt. I am 14 and have scoliosis and live with back pain everyday.

[@AnnaliseH14]

I love drum sticks too!!!! Amanda you should get the cookie dipped caramel flavored ones, they are the best 😊
