i had a miscarriage with my first, so when pregnant with my rainbow baby, i was so happy to grow grow and grow. i was always showing my belly and accentuating it. i loved being pregnant. she’s now almost 4 months and i’ve been in baby bliss! no anxiety or depression whatsoever, i’ve been waiting for this my entire life and have nothing but positive things to say!

[@nataliedugard-mp6lr]

God chose you to be this baby boys mama. Trust your discernment and your mom gut! He will help you make the best decisions for your baby ❤️

[@AlexB7798-h8g]

As someone who was a very “me, me, me” person like Jeanine seems, I really struggled post partum. I struggled with body dysmorphia and losing my sense of self and autonomy. No one can prepare you for what it takes to become a mom. Totally worth it but I think people minimize how your life changes a complete 180 degrees. Some people adjust and move on but for others the adjustment can take a long time ……

[@selenaaquino2837]

I love how he isn’t camera shy and he just walks in like he owns it he is so confident and so humble I’m so happy for you you deserve the best and I’m glad you waited and found the one that is really for you ❤

[@jessicabroussard8195]

Thank you for speaking out about body image! This has been one of my biggest fears as well with pregnancy. And this gives me hope for when we start trying in the new year to grow our family 🤍

[@vanessad5629]

Been following your journey for years, and it’s so special seeing your growth. So, so happy for you and Kaleb. Baby boy is so blessed to have you two ❤️

[@lainie_e]

You're so adorable! So excited for this new chapter for you!! It's gonna be a wonderful new story to tell😍

[@adrianatoth4229]

Thank you for sharing all your feels girl. I get you. So many changes the first time you have a baby and it gets better second time around knowing what to expect. Love you tons ❤️

[@chloeodell1222]

Thank you so much for sharing! This is my first pregnancy and I really needed to hear this, I've been struggling with a lot of what you talked about and it's nice to know I'm not alone 😊

[@lovealwaysliza]

Jeanine I didn't realize that we're due at the same time!! This is also my first pregnancy and I'm so anxious and can't wait for my next ultrasound just to make sure baby is okay. It's so crazy how between ultrasounds you just have to trust that they're growing in there and are doing okay. Like you said we Trust in God always ❤

[@reesejoyce]

Love you Jeanine! I’m so excited to see you become a mom and Kaleb to become a dad! I’m praying for a safe rest of your pregnancy and praying for sweet baby boy and that he continues to grow and stay healthy🤍🩵🥰

[@jennycaiazzo3455]

You’re going to be an amazing mama!! Your best is enough 💙 Thank you for sharing all this!

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Jeanine! I love this so much and you are such an inspiration to me. You are so fun to watch and I’m so grateful for you. You’re such a ray of sunshine and I love everything you put out. I hope you have an amazing holiday season and time with family. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@JeanineAmapola]

Thank you so much!!! ❤❤

[@devsabrat]

oh my goddddd it’s been years since i’ve been on your channel, this notification brightened my face up. i didn’t know you were pregnant! congratulations and i’ll be praying for you everyday until that baby is born.

[@jasminelourdes__]

You are okay without a nursery, especially in the beginning! Also, I was anxious my entire pregnancy 🥲 I hated that feeling, hearing his heartbeat was a huge sigh of relief every appointment! I had to really trust the Lord cause my thoughts were everywhere.

[@Ale9jandra]

this camera quality is amazing. You're going to be an amazing mom!!

[@selenaaquino2837]

That is so cool that you discussed names while you guys were pregnant I love how planned out you both were and how great and supportive you both are over each other I want my relationship to be more like that and I want to be in the word more and to want to get your book and some merch when available ❤

[@denisseovoxo]

super happy for you and Kaleb! you are going to be the best parents & I know God has big plans for your baby boy! thank you for sharing your journey with us 🤍🙏🏼

[@janelleresseguie7242]

A little over a year ago my husband and I had an in depth talk about kids and we were both leaning towards no (basically a fear based decision) but I prayed to God to change my heart and show me a clear sign if He has bigger and better plans for our lives. I kid you not, the next week I heard a song that was talking about raising kids and I just broke down crying knowing my heart had changed and that my future involved raising a little one. I’m now just shy of 11w and found out I got e.coli so I totally understand the guilt and anxiety around your health but ultimately your babies health. It stinks when you have to wait a few weeks to see your baby again and having that reassurance that everything is ok! So exciting seeing you walk through this journey and appreciate you sharing all the fears and insecurities that this stage holds. You are definitely not alone ❤❤❤

[@sarasaadallami365]

So happy for you, you have been my inspirational woman since 2018 and know you will be the amazing mother in 2025❤

[@JeanineAmapola]

ILLYYY❤

[@selenaaquino2837]

I’m so so happy for you I love your channel and your vlog you are so beautiful inside and out your faith has made me hunger more and just want to have a community and be outgoing with our faith and just be happy and be our true selves and not be ashamed or scared of showing who we truly are in Jesus ❤

[@colonelquakers]

I think it was Michelle Reed who said she stopped looking at the scale at her appointments and it helped her mental health a lot. So because of her I stopped looking too and I felt SO much better about my body! People ask me how much I gained during pregnancy and I can honestly tell them I have no idea lol so just a little tip!

[@FitTrisha007]

Congratulations on the pregnancy news! I love your videos and Caleb is great! You’re going to be fine. I never thought I’d be a mom but here I am! And I did it so you can too! Praying for you guys! I know in my heart ♥️ everything will be fine! GOD’s got you! Amen 🙏

[@cassieclavien]

Love you Jeanine and I can’t wait to watch you grow in this next chapter of your life!

[@CarolAcevedo-c9q]

I felt all the same ways being pregnant with my son! Being a parent is so hard in the sense that you are responsible for another HUMAN 🤯 blows my mind! But it’s also so fun and sweet! You will be amazing Jeanine and love how sweet Kaleb is to you 💕

[@GretchenHoechner]

You gotta stop worrying about people judging you! Listen to Holy Spirit and your gut and you’ll be fine. Just do you, and don’t worry about what others think girl, you’ll be fine!

[@alejandra1601]

Loveeee this video! And btw you’re literally glowing 😍😍😍

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

I always saw God give us what he knows we need not what we want he makes no mistakes and your baby boy is blessed to have you as a mom and Caleb as a dad.

[@AmandaKlems]

I had a horrrrrible stomach bug when I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter. After 3 miscarriages leading up to my pregnancy with her I was PETRIFIED. I couldn’t keep food in me. My OB assured me that the baby was taking all the nutrients she needs from me and probably making me feel worse, but she is absolutely fine. Something that has stuck with me for almost 5 years now and wanted to pass on to you!

[@gabrielaorta9112]

I definitely get you when it came to body image when I was pregnant especially since before I was the weight I was when pregnant . I’m still trying to get use to my body being 10 months pp but I remind myself how grateful I am that God bless us with our baby

[@carolinabartlett8028]

We both have the exact same symptoms!! I am 17 weeks pregnant with a baby boy🥰 and just like you, I always knew it was a boy!!

[@claudia_christianmommy]

The items I used and have told others to get is a good baby wrap to hold the baby and have free hands. Also the nose Frida!

[@kelseyschwertner]

I had the breakup song francesca battistelli on repeat in both pregnancies. Any time fear crept in I had to turn that song on and switch up my thoughts quickly before they took me on an unwanted roller coaster!

[@veronicasanchez696]

Beautiful Janine❤ I’m so excited for you and Kaleb and family ❣️🙏

[@michelleherrera7505]

Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable ❤

[@Mariecles]

Did you switch to pregnancy-safe makeup and skincare?

[@NatiDLeon]

So beautiful Jeanine !! Love you! 💕🤗

[@Sallylovesgood]

praying for you and your baby!

[@melissamilano9324]

So many things that we have to let go of once we become mothers.

[@JeanineAmapola]

So true!!

[@morenomijangos1]

Genuine question…..isn’t it harmful to be doing all those workouts for the baby and isn’t caffeine bad while pregnant? I’ve heard it is, just curious

[@shantaymayer5413]

I'm pregnant and my doctor says it's OK to continue with the workouts you did before you were pregnant. Since she works out like this prior to pregnancy it's perfectly fine. You wouldn't want to start something new and intense though. Caffeine is ok up to 200mg a day which is 1-2 cups but no more.

[@morenomijangos1]

@ aaaaah ok, thanks for the info!!

[@shantaymayer5413]

@@morenomijangos1 you're welcome!

[@lwolf101]

You can have 200mg a day of caffeine. I did and my toddler is perfect

[@sarahmarie7107]

Try to not think it as you are gaining weight. The baby is growing. I think I ready in a baby book that 20-30lbs of weight increase is just pure baby (placenta, amniotic fluid, baby, you have more blood in your body prob some other things too ) It’s hard not to let it get to you! You are doing great

[@giselle_raimairi]

God bless you prettygirl, God bless you ❤❤❤❤

[@SadieGoss-t4x]

Jeanine - first congratulations!! I had my first Dec 2023… and struggled with some of the same body things. What I will say is remember how RESILIENT God designed our bodies, both with creating life and after birth. God’s design will surprise and amaze you more and more! Totally normal, but just wanted to share what I kept in my mind.

[@darrenwanamaker3326]

You have nice skin Jeanine ❤

[@jguzman9782]

I personally don’t think a nursery is necessary because baby will sleep next to you, yes it’s necessary to have a drawer with their things, but sometimes people get so overwhelmed and the baby doesn’t even use the nursery until much later. At least thats what I’ve seen.

[@carlajoyswan]

Going through a miscarriage right now...😢 looking forward to my rainbow baby one day

[@StacyBradley-f2q]

Mommas are rockstars with or without an epidural.

[@micahsypert]

You are going to be a great mom because you put Jesus first! Many do everything else by missing Jesus. Just stay like Mary, at His feet and you will continue to be amazing! :)

[@melissamilano9324]

Look for a breakdown of what the weight is made up of. It was the visual that helped me.

[@ELLEPRISTINE123]

Your voice is a bit deeper. ❤

[@taylordavidsen4610]

I will say that there’s stigma for whatever you choose to do for birth. I’m also 18 weeks and I want to go natural, but have 0 cares for whatever anyone else chooses for their birth (it’s so personal). When I have said that I want to go natural people respond with “well you know there’s no award for that.” I’m like uhhh not looking for that, it’s just what I’ve decided on… Aka it’s impossible to be a woman, so just do you & it’ll be ok!

“Jesus is the Everlasting Father with compassion for His children. He pities his children and shelters them with His love (Psalm 103:13). His mercy endures forever and you can anticipate his forgiveness with joy. Above all, these benefits are yours to enjoy for eternity, if only you surrender your life to Him” WHOA THATS GOOD! THANK YOU JESUS!

Everything you’re feeling is totally normal. WELCOME TO MOTHERHOOD🙏🏻🤍

[@sidnnnney]

Hi mama 🤍 You are doing amazing. A simple clear chat about vaccines with two fellow believers: Red Pill Your Healthcast: Elephant in the room They go over each individual one and it’s so so helpful. Keep praying and He will guide you in perfect time. Remember that you’ll never see someone that quits vaccinating their kids change their mind and go back to vaccinating. You’ll only ever see people that start vaccinating change their mind and stop. I’m hopeful that that podcast will bring ease to the decision 🤍
