SUMMER PREGNANCY WEEKLY VLOG

[@ms.23]

Though I appreciated your experimentation with blonde hair, I must say that I absolutely LOVE your brown hair. Truly suits you. Edit: YES to more vlogs! I particularly enjoy those long ones, real delight.

[@marilynsalveson3702]

Loved this longer vlog, seeing your lovely Mom and your cooking tips and suggestions. Also love your darker hair because I think it really suits your skin tone. Can’t wait for your next vlog!

[@aniashley7359]

So sorry for your experience. I ended up taking a senior citizen water aerobics class because there were no resources for me. I quickly became the darling of the class and had all of these 65+ moms/grandmothers supporting and loving me through my pregnancy. It was a blessing because all of my support system was in the South and we had just moved to the East coast. I hope that you find what you need. I feel you, Elle.

[@annaburke8537]

I have considered this but wasn't sure if it would be right for me. Is it pretty pregnancy friendly?

[@aniashley7359]

Absolutely. It was a senior citizen class and I just showed up and kindly explained that I needed to do something to move and get out of the house. There was nothing taxing about it and my joints felt great in the water. I ran and lifted through most of my pregnancy but at some point you need to slow down and it was a great fit.

[@annaburke8537]

@@aniashley7359 that sounds great, I do a lot of pilates and walking uphill by myself, but I've been wanting to do something in a group setting. I'll have to try it. 💞

[@aniashley7359]

Please do Anna, it’s fun and different and such a relaxed way to meet people.

[@anye76]

Yes the senior center aqua fit classes were amazing. I was in my late 20s and took their classes for physical therapy and they were beyond accommodating to me. We had a few pregnant ladies join in as well. Great suggestion!

[@dianab3005]

The dark hair looks amazing on you! I mean, you could pull off anything 💁‍♀️ And I look forward to seeing your pregnancy content! My little 9 month old daughter is my whole entire heart and I can't wait for you to experience motherhood!

[@586Rexford]

I love your hair dark. It looks so much shiner and smoother in comparison to when it was light. You have always had unusually healthy looking hair. Love, love seeing your mom!! :)

[@ElleFlorence]

You’re right that it looks more shiny, especially given that the week I filmed this was very humid and frizz inducing. I’m surprised at that given how processed my hair is!

[@lovetolove011]

Congratulations Elle!! So happy for you! You are going to be a beautiful mother! 💛

[@catherineforman7578]

Thank you for sharing this vlog, Elle! You are glowing! The new backyard looks amazing. Would you consider doing a house tour once it’s set up and ready?

[@DhammanistaChannel]

So happy for you Elle. You have stars in your eyes and you smile all the time. That tells us your life is a bliss. Love your hair and your new home.

[@a_leaf]

You are such a beautiful woman in the making. You truly found a partner who loves and supports you in his own way, because it shows in your state of mind and health. So happy for you, and your bright future, lots of prosperity headed your way.

[@erikaskoch9806]

I loved this vlog! Dark hair, Nordstrom, and the triumphant return of Phillips. Very nostalgic. I wish you the very best with your pregnancy. 😊

[@stacmnx8241]

I have missed your vlogs. Thanks for doing a little of everything- not just baby stuff. I still love watching your cooking. Everything always looks sooo yummy.

[@AGloriousLife]

YES - I so love your old school long vlogs. And fun fact - I actually bought the Phillips pasta machine because of you YEARS ago! Such nostalgia... :)

[@fhleila]

I love you hair in the close-to-natural colour and definitely made my day to see a long vlog from you!!

[@jaynemarie81]

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I have been watching your channel for years, but rarely comment. I'm looking forward to seeing vlogs re. this new season in your life ❤

[@HoloHoloAdventures]

Love these long vlogs. I’m catching up on your videos since you started Vlogmas.

[@jeannecoffman793]

LOVING this expectant glowing mom, brunette, long vlog!!💖

[@carlys405]

Congratulations, Elle! I’m so happy for you and your partner! You’re simply glowing! 🥰

[@germanshepherddogs]

omg I can't believe you're pregnant! I'm SO excited and happy for you, Elle. Congratulations!!

[@Mjamali4]

Very happy to see that you’re pregnant!!! I’ve followed you for years so happy that you found a partner with whom you’ve found happiness and are embracing parenthood with ❤️

[@misslillylovely1]

Yes! More vlogs please!! They’re my absolute favorite 🥰

[@Toothfairyinloupes]

You look so happy, love seeing that! Yes yes yes to more vlogs.. anything you post is always a treat 🥰

[@carielynn6647]

I loved this longer vlog!! I’m so excited for you!! You are glowing!! Your mom is the cutest and I bet she is about to burst with happiness!! I’m so happy for you all! Such a beautiful blessing! I’m a long time subscriber and to see you now about to be a mom is so incredible! I’d love to see an old school Sephora haul, makeup up get ready with me, or skincare routine. Of course all the baby related content too! 💕 oh btw!! Your natural hair color suits you beautifully! I thought the blonde was fun and a nice change but you are a brunette 😊

[@AmandaCiantar]

Was nice to see this laid back and relaxing vlog - you should do more. Am a relatively new fan but I'm enjoying the content 🥰

[@laurabaerg8095]

Loved the longer vlog! Your mom is so adorable with her excitement about the baby! 💗 So excited for you and your partner!

[@ashleyolson4156]

OH. MY. GOD. !!! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎈🎉 Missed your other video, and just saw this one to find out your amazing news. Very happy for you! Been watching your videos for years. As a first time mom myself (in month 4 with my little boy) I know how amazing this time will be. Praying for you and baby to continue to be safe, happy, and healthy. 💕😊

[@rhythmicelegance4670]

I am child free for now and don’t have any pregnant friends or friends who are parents, but it seems that you’ll be the first I’ll know about and that I’ll be interested in watching what you share in that regard since you’ve been such a lovely person from the beginning. Your uniqueness, maturity, success mindset, and grace is something I learn from and enjoy. Best wishes to you and your dear ones! 🤍

[@DebiWKolacz1]

I liked your blonde hair a lot, but I always felt you look stunning with brown hair!!Your natural hair color always looks so healthy and shiny. I am so excited for you and your partner! Your wonderful Mom looks so happy too. I have followed you for years, and I am so very happy for you!!❤️

[@griselgomez1]

Congrats! a baby is a blessing ❤️ You should do another fine jewelry video maybe just showing your pearl collection .

[@jennarie83]

I love your vlogs! It’s nice to see the pasta maker again. I don’t think I’ve seen it since before Covid!

[@Pixiwoot78]

Please elle don’t stop posting you are still one of my favs you could talk or share to us anything lol even diapers hehehe anyways u look gorgeous. And I so love the dark hair

[@lindarobertt6206]

I really do like your hair dark best. So happy for this wonderful time in your life!

[@sdurks3466]

Congratulations on your pregnancy. So happy for you, your partner, and your mom. How exciting! Yes, more vlogs.

[@Lisa-Tahiti]

Hi Elle. I really enjoyed your vlog. The dresses that you showcased are all so beautiful. Also, Thanks for including all your wonderful food. I have tried some of your recipes and they are fantastic. I have recently made a recipe that was highlighted in one of your older videos. It was the Italian sausage and rapini pasta dish. It was fantastic! I had never cooked with rapini before and now I am hooked! I love the bitterness. Congratulations on your upcoming little girl.

[@ElleFlorence]

The bitter flavour is so addictive! Thank you for trying it, that makes me so happy!

[@anye76]

Yes to more vlogs. Excited for your pregnancy journey and seeing baby content sprinkled in. Your dark hair is beyond beautiful and stunning. I missed seeing it on you. Thrilled it's back. It truly accentuates you🌷💕💞

[@djok7375]

You can rock any hair color Elle! Congratulations. You are going to be an amazing mom!

[@rubyc4518]

I loved that coin pearl necklace so much, I had to pause the video and order it! It looks so unique and beautiful! I can't wait to receive it! I am so happy for you and all the wonderful things happening in your life. You look radiant and so happy, it is so heartwarming!

[@AgingGracefully]

Love this. Your look is glowing, and love the hair. I am always for trying different looks, but I like your look as a brunette so much better. Most of all, so excited for your new arrival.

[@IfrahWaqar]

Love everything you do, and no matter the avatar! But I've to say, a Brunette Elle at the Nordstrom during Lunch Break on a Weekday, reminds me of the Vancouver days and just loveeee that! Bless you and your family. ❣️

[@J_E_Double_N]

Elle, you are beautiful no matter what you do with your hair, but the brown on you is stunning!! So nice to see your vlog. Thank you for sharing!

[@sparklequeen101]

So happy you have dark hair again. You are totally glowing!!!

[@nadia-theviewisbeautiful1442]

I can definitely understand your feelings of disappointment after your yoga experience, it’s totally valid! I had my daughter in April 2020 so as you can imagine the whole first year of her life felt a lot like that to me, lonely in motherhood but also soaking it all up in a way I know I likely won’t get to again. I don’t know how much you want to invest your time but don’t be afraid to start something simple yourself! If you are looking there are probably lots of other local mothers searching for the same thing and coming up empty! Local businesses might be very up to hosting a group of some kind. Either way I hope you find something that helps bring some sense of that vision to life!

[@bendingyourreality3790]

missed your vlogs Elle! And so excited to join you on your pregnancy journey xxx

[@MommyToMyBoys]

Yes, more vlogs please! Really enjoyed this one. Your hair looks beautiful & you are just glowing with Mommy-to-be happiness! It is the best, isn't it? Take care of yourself! ~~God Bless

[@taraa7655]

Really loved this video! You are glowing, being pregnant suits you. Thank you for sharing the journey with us🥰 I felt so sad for you when you told us about the unsuccesful workout trip, I am the same way with envisioning experiences beforehand and just wanted to give you a hug🌸 Hope the other class was a success!🤞 I would love more vlogs like this☺️

[@jwells3476]

Congratulations Elle! Motherhood is indescribable in the best ways and the hardest ways. I love the stroller you selected. I have a tip that I recently saw at a theme park. Hang onto the bassinet and use it as a cart to carry all of the stuff to such events when she’s older. I could totally use something like this for my girls’ soccer games, picnics, park days, etc. I wish you well through the remainder of your pregnancy!

[@octobermoon9]

You look so beautiful, Elle. I am so excited for you and to see all of your content.

[@diane5908]

You look so beautiful! Congratulations Elle! So happy for you and your partner. Enjoy this special time 💕

[@cynthiaraimondi4767]

You’re glowing in this video! Both hair colors look great on you but good call thinking ahead on the maintenance; when I was postpartum, it took me 3 months until I finally got my nails and hair done again 😭. The bassinet is definitely worth it, I wish I had that when my little one was a newborn!

[@stellayuehuachen7622]

I also got pregnant and am expecting my first baby away from my mother town. Your sharing is inspiring and encouraging to me! Thank you!

[@Toothfairyinloupes]

You are absolutely glowing Elle! Loved the video as usual. Have to agree with a lot of the comments that the dark hair makes your skin glow 🥰🥰

[@llnut4775]

Thanks for the catch up Elle! When my mom passed she had every hardback Danielle Steel book to date. I agree she’s very underrated indeed.

[@shannycook]

I saved this vlog for my morning off so I could enjoy it with a cuppa and some tea 😋 I am so incredibly happy for you in your new home and all these exciting things happening! The flowers are so pretty and I can imagine your garden is going to be so lovely for baby girl to play in! Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us, your channel is my absolute favorite online 🤍 im so sorry about the nothing sandwich afternoon 🙁 you drove all that way and then the class was canceled and no one told you 😭 fingers crossed the new class next week is much better!! 🤍☀️

[@ValentineLissar]

This was such a fun slice of life and I am so thrilled that you are doing well!

[@jandelricci637]

Your hair is gorgeous !! You are glowing !! I must say I love your brunette hair better, even though the blonde highlights were lovely, and very tasteful. I think this color makes your complexion glow ! So very happy for you both ! And your Mom ! 😊

[@clairenovak11]

Elle, again I just have to say I am so so happy for you! And throw in your close-to-natural color again? You are positively glowing. 🥰 And yes, more vlogs would be lovely!

[@MsSassyMT]

Awww, a baby! Congratulations. The brown hair looks good on you.

[@iluvyou345]

Loved this vlog. Would love to see a home tour/decor video of your new home 😊

[@marguerittetwinkle3624]

I love your vlogs, Elle. So happy to see you wearing dark hair and flowy dresses, you look stunning. I can relate, because Iove cottagecore/ flowyy dresses, I wear them everyday.

[@spaula8997]

I love your hair ❤️❤️❤️ with the blue dress has a snow white vibe ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@midue4546]

I would love to see more vlogs and all about your pregnancy, life in seattle, food, work, partner, whatever you want to show or talk about. It's so relaxing to watch your videos, you are a very lovely and great woman to relate! 💙never mind the mean comments (and never react), it's part of the reality of every youtube-star :) They are just jealous or unhappy with themselves

[@azureloves9006]

Great vlog Elle! Have you heard about the Peanut app? It's specifically for moms looking for friends in their local area! Also yes to more vlogs and a Lattes & Literature video!

[@amandadobbs8637]

I use a food processor with a slicing blade to thinly slice potatoes because I also cannot be trusted with a mandoline slicer either. It’s also handy for making pickle chips.

[@stephanie8252]

I totally missed your last video and to say that I was surprised when I saw the title and thumbnail of this video is an understatement 😂 i love your hair and am so excited for you and your partner!

[@_lines_of_joy]

Love that you are back to Brunette. It’s what looks really best on your skin tone. It highlight your beauty more as a brunette. You are bloooming! Baby girls are so wonderful!

[@ValentineLissar]

I love this return to the long form vlog!

[@sayuri8mochi]

I love your hair color💛 Sorry you had a bitter experience but thanks for sharing with us and I’m loving long videos like this💯✨

[@oh_k8]

Lol both cats in the stroller.❤ i love how you are still a proud cat momma.

[@chelseahill6552]

A brunette Elle in Nordstrom gives me all kind of professional inspiration that I am in need of. 😊

[@laraalami9114]

How exciting that you are expecting a baby, Elle! I’m so happy for you!! 💕

[@jacintasalt8731]

Hi, Elle. Excited for your new arrival this winter. I had a son in July. There were no prenatal classes available here either so can relate to feeling there were no resources for new moms.

[@eye_land_girlgt6113]

You’re back to brunette!! All is right with the world now, lol. Congratulations on your baby girl 🤰🏻and Mami’s grandbaby 🤗

[@properchica90]

I'm so happy for you and I'm excited for future vlogs! Also, yes, a Latte's and Literature!

[@salenaramatally7190]

So happy with the new hair color Elle .

[@keniakennedy9016]

You look radiant! Happy that you are enjoying your pregnancy, it is a most special time in your life. 💖🎀🧸🌸

[@mecredi16]

A long term viewer here I'm so happy for you! I feel your pain! You might be able to find mothers to be at antenatal classes in your area and your partner can also attend and meet other future dads. I know its not physical but i made most of my mom friends at antenatal classes and then the baby sensory classes (you can take them to once they are 3 or 4 months and up). There's also a lovely app called Peanut where you can meet local mums to be (with similar due dates) in your area. I have a 7 month old baby girl who was born in early January. It was a bit stressful for us over Christmas but all turned out beautiful in the end. All the lovely times with family during the holidays makes your body produce a lot oxytocin - which really encourages a lovely birth experience! Big hugs, your mum friend from London Mercedes xx

[@84amward]

Fit4mom is a national fitness club for pre and postnatal women. I did it through both of my pregnancies in two different states and have such fond memories of those experiences. Hopefully you find something like that close to you- I’m sure they are in your state as well and they have continued throughout the pandemic. You are going to be the best mom and I can’t wait to see the beautiful experiences you will have!

[@rinkisinghkhosla9001]

Congratulations 🎊 I am loving the brown hair :) it looks amazing on you

[@Mimlou]

Congratulations!! So happy for you!! You're definitely glowing and give off such beautiful vibes of happiness! I especially love how beautiful that dress at 23:17 looked on you!! Do you have a link, or can you share the details?🤩🤩

[@leanneb6622]

I am so happy you took some time to yourself to enjoy this journey but also really happy you are back. I love your hair both ways. You are stunning. I love seeing your mom "grandma" 🤗 I would have been crushed too if I were in that situation where the class was cancelled but glad you found something new. My daughter is 3 now but I wish I had something like that while I was expecting her. Do you have a link for the sweater dress?

[@makeuplover6852]

Your hair looks amazing, I loved the blonde also...when you are as beautiful as you are, the hair is just the crowning glory :) As for the stroller and coffee and how to attach a bag, i’ll send you a picture of what I added to my stroller which worked extremely well for many years. Love me some scalloped potatoes ! I’m from New Brunswick we just used good old milk and a can of cream of mushroom soup for the liquid and each layer of potatoes we sprinkle flour and salt and pepper , some ladies like to add slivered onions and a little cheese...those were the “fancy” tater scallops 😂

[@natelirodriguez7825]

Hi Elle, I’m so happy for you and baby girl!! As for prenatal classes… you may want to check out your local hospital. My hospital had tons of classes that were fun and you can meet other new moms. You can also try the library I found classes there for before and after birth. I still take my baby to a class at the library.

[@butterflyprincess2177]

I can totally relate to your stomach not feeling comfortable with any tight fabrics or maternity wear. At the beginning of my second trimester my breasts were so sensitive I couldn't bare to wear bras or have anything touch my skin. Even the water in the shower the water pressure hurt my skin during my pregnancy. Of course I couldn't go bra-less so I started wearing bralettes and then nursing bras purchased at Motherhood Maternity-well before my due date! I needed a soft material on my breasts. Wearing maternity dresses was definitely far more comfortable than the pants. Also, I'm sure your obgyn has told you this but snack snack snack ! If you're feeling hungry and your hands are shaking nibble on something light until your next meal. Keep snacks in your purse too. So excited to see your baby vlogs! Happy to see the kitties too.

[@beverleyroberts1025]

It's lovely to see you so happy Elle. Pregnancy really suits you, and you seem very calm and relaxed. Your hair looked lovely blonde, but I do prefer you back to brunette, lovely and shiny and elegant.x 😊

Love your blog and congratulations on the baby girl ..

[@sarahs1212]

Congratulations again, Elle

[@ElleFlorence]

I think I read about that same product and it was a tiny part of my decision! I think it’s probably going to work best on hair that hasn’t been multi-processed like mine, so I’m planning on trying it once it’s grown out a bit 💗

[@sarahs1212]

@@ElleFlorence Oh neat, very curious to hear what you think of it in time.

[@noorelhajali]

Hi Elle! Congratulations on the pregnancy ❤️ i have the uppababy and I LOVE IT. There’s a coffee cup attachment and a stroller pouch u attach on the handles that can be really useful! I had also bought a bag clip that attaches on the handle bar from amazon to clip my bag on it 😊 u made a great choice! And I would recommend the yoyo stroller as it is cabin approved so makes traveling soooo easy, and as the bebe grows older it will be much more convenient to use the lightweight yoyo 😘🙏🏻

[@nessi1265]

I love babywraps ( the best for bonding) 🥰 coffee & bags no problem and you get really beautiful luxurious wraps- artip...e or handwovens

[@trace-elementz1343]

Congratulations 😂🎉❤ Girls are best; lol! I just want to say, dark hair, blonde hair, purple hair, no hair, you are beautiful and lovely in all aspects. I also wondered how you felt in early pregnancy? Any morning sickness or aversion issues with normal every day scents? I remember how the smell of coffee made me nauseous and I couldn’t drink caffeinated drinks at all; even though coffee is a great love of mine 😢. I’m very happy for you and your loved ones! I can’t wait to hear about your favorite girls names, hint hint for a baby name video 😊. I agree and encourage you to make one offs or OOAK pieces; they are exclusive and special; people love OOAK’s. Sending bubbles of health, happiness, and fun times to you and your crew!!!
