VLOG: House updates, Glucose test, Prepping for the baby shower, 30 weeks pregnant!

[@Tayannzip]

Designer here! I love your living room setup and how cozy it feels. If you need more storage, I suggest placing a buffet on both sides of the fireplace and either floating shelves above, or mirrors. If you don’t need storage, I suggest hanging two large mirrors on both sides of the fireplace, an arched option would soften up the space. Adding mirrors is going to reflect the natural light that you get and make it feel even bigger. And then you don’t have to move your tree :) ps love your vlogs and congratulations 👶🏻

[@Ang-n9p]

I love that! It sounds less busy than a bookcase. And if you need one, I like the lighter wood to match the beam option!

[@rilesland]

aaron immediately saying “no i was normal” was so hilarious😂

[@karrrot]

full wall of track curtains for the slider and roman shades for the two windows

[@georgiavanzaanen]

Definitely! Romans for the two smaller windows and full height curtains for the back wall

[@juliacondez5164]

“My big girl pants have been on for 30 fkin weeks” sent me hahahahaha I’m 30 weeks tomorrow and I fully understand that

[@mpistana]

awe you look so happy and are gonna be the most amazing mama

[@karihorr]

birks are known for being super supportive especially when pregnant! they form to your feet and will give you the support you need

[@kyennechristensen9952]

You will definitely want storage for baby items! I say do floor to ceiling curtains on your back door and do blinds on your windows (:

[@LaurenKrol-k8t]

I have a toddler and almost 1 year old babe and I definitely vote for a closed in storage option! We have an open bookshelf and it can be an eyesore with all the toys so for now have baskets on the bottom shelf..but the dream is some type of closed armoire to hide toys, arts & crafts ect. !!

[@lexiarmstrong8559]

As a mom of little ones, you can never have enough storage especially if you don’t want their toys out everywhere! It may not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but definitely think putting something there to hold. Toys would be super helpful!

[@ErikaRooney]

Dark wood book shelf! It complements the darker pieces that you don’t have enough of! I think it’ll balance everything perfectly :) congrats, beautiful space!

[@kennaleo]

I can’t wait to see the baby shower!! Sarah always throws the cutest parties 💙🤍

[@NikkiLThomas]

Love the cabinet idea of the left of the fireplace! I’d personally do more of a buffet with a shelf above or a mirror above, doesn’t cover the wall as much as still gives some storage! And definitely darker.

[@JM-kw5yl]

Chiropractic can help with the sciatica nerve pain took mine right away when I was pregnant, they can also help turn a breeched baby naturally if that is an issue.

[@lisetteserrano-discenza2116]

Those beautiful eyelashes on carson 😮 he is so adorable. So excited to see you prepping for your lil boy. There is no bond better than one with your baby boy. And as far as your body filling out, dont be hard on yourself cause girl you are even more beautiful, adorable and all the things ❤

[@hannahdickey4388]

LOVE the bookshelf idea. Will make it so cozy and homey.

[@nataliebrett5173]

Definitely do a tall cabinet on that side wall next to the fireplace! You could go either way on color but if you do one to match the beams, add dark hardware

[@ali08lacey]

An arched dark wood bookcase/cabinet would look beautiful!! Plus great storage 👍👶

[@Natalievioletmacfarlane]

Beautiful living room. Anything you choose will look amazing ❤

[@danielleS257]

Maybe a book shelf that is half open and half doors then you can hide what you don’t want as well as space to display photos and actual books. Or a buffet and then floating shelves above, possibly even glass shelving. Keeps the illusion of open space but gives storage. Or similar shelves to the kitchen then it mirrors that open area. And I’m a longer the better drape the better girl, however when your little one starts pulling up, you’ll need to be able to block them or keep them up. It’s all looking great. Cute shower dress!

[@Evamm07]

Hi Rachel so excited to see you so happy!! The house looks beautiful I would do floating shelves on either side of fireplace so it’s even and not so heavy, mirrors would also look really nice in the living room to brighten it up even more. Can’t wait to watch your baby shower vlog! 💙

[@amandaferreira8856]

Aaron: no I was normal lmaoooo and eating the ice cream 💀 you guys are hilarious together! Also you and Dylan are so cute, he’s so sweet🥹🥹

[@madisonhall8167]

Closed in wooden bookshelf would be soooo cute from an antique place !

[@amyhost7756]

I would look for something on the smaller side for baby stuff, I have the ikea rolling cart and it perfectly holds diapers, wipes, and a few toys for my 15m old. I love that it’s smaller so it kind of tucks away and doesn’t make the living room feel cluttered. When they’re infants you’re going to have more big bulky things (baby chairs, playmats etc…) so I’d use that nook to put those things.

[@mackenziefrench3652]

Going to a chiropractor that specializes in Webster technique is SUPER helpful with low back and sciatic pain specifically for pregnant woman. It makes such a difference for so many moms!!

[@juliacondez5164]

Yes this!!! Go to a chiro that really specializes in pregnancy and also postpartum. I had insaaaaane sciatic pain from the day I found out until like 22ish weeks and now my pain is very minimal. Highly recommend!

[@ThePrincessfiona91]

Oh my! Your living room looks so nice!

[@olinskisnyders]

Love the living room decor, can’t wait for the organising vlog 🙌🏽 Literally 🤣 for the cone tasting “It slaps” 😂😂

[@KamrynCole-Wood]

The last clip of you and Aaron in the car I was crying you guys are so funny

[@MarciaDeniseGunningforSuccess]

Definitely short rods length of single windows, and ceiling track for sliding doors and same wood tone as beams for any other wood elements brought in the living room space

[@MonicaRoman]

Yessss do all the curtains up to the ceiling!

[@stephsoto]

LOVE the coffee table! In that space I would definitely pull the wood tones...so bookcase that's in a arch form to not have so many harsh edges with the fireplace and tv beside it. Or a modern blanket ladder that's wood. 😍 And girrrl, I've dealt with sciatic for years hard surgery and it's the worst! Yours should subside for sure. Love your vlogs girl and the house looks incredible!❤ Oh and Aaron...he's the flipping best!

[@gailsokol7832]

I would do open shelves so its not closing the room in, same colour as walls or even try to match the beams colour. Keep well great vlog.

[@susanburd4553]

Id do it on both sides lower cabnets and shelves you can decorate

[@shannonfleming931]

Your new place is beautiful, congratulations! You’ll definitely want extra storage when having a baby, they have a lot of stuff. I think it would be beautiful to match the wood to the beams in the ceiling. We need more content with you and Aaron, you guys are hilarious!😂

[@Rinney88]

Try some hip flexor work too! I have these issues with sciatica and hip flexors/ lower back/ posture and I have rods in my back, recognizing the strain on my hip flexors has changed my life! ❤

[@legallyblondiee]

Maybe you should do a double rod curtain over the slider with sheers behind and then a thicker linen material over top so it has a cozy look without having to do the track along the whole wall?

[@heebiegigis]

Yay!!! Obsessed with your vlogs!

[@thegypsydreamer]

Maybe do long curtains for the sliding door and do Roman shades for the smaller windows in the same fabric.

[@ceciliagarza21]

A vintage buffet, or book shelf would be cute in that space.✨🤍🤎

[@gracerinaldi1445]

Do like a brown trunk in that area! Can store baby toys and things there once he’s older and has more stuff!

[@heatherscott-fleming4888]

Yes to the bookcase.

[@Noturbasikbeautyxo]

Cannot wait for the babyshower vlog! 💙

[@AmieOlsonalo]

I had the same sciatic nerve pain toward the end of pregnancy as well. It was painful, but did go away after delivery.

[@AmieOlsonalo]

Also, your pregnant belly looks so perfect and flawless ~ I was also lucky enough to have very elastic skin and not get any stretch marks with all 4 pregnancies

[@Heyitsshamara]

I love your livingroom it's so cute and cozy. Also I have 2 kids and that glucose test is crap every time lol

[@briannalee6071]

Definitely do floor to ceiling curtains on every window …. It would really elevate the space

[@brookespecht]

Would recommend lemon lime next time! I had my test this week with that flavor and it was easy breezy

[@emilyhaley5083]

i vote light wood to match the beams bookshelf

[@Julia.kathleen]

The very last clip of Aaron with the mouthful of ice cream 😭😭🤣

[@kristinwilkinson7652]

You gotta do the bookshelf!

[@nicolerobichaud2009]

Do a dark bookcase with some recessed lighting - i think it would add some colour and depth to the room.

[@megansekermestrovich3757]

I’d ask your builder/landlord to finish that nook like the coffee bar in the kitchen. Closed storage with open shelves above (sans tile)

[@leaholson4136]

Light cabinet with glass doors on top to reflect light and to seem more open👍

[@veronicafonseca7668]

A black or dark wood closed bookshelf would look amazing❤

[@raulersonannamarie]

Ugh Riley green playing in the background. Fun fact, I saw him play live at a frat before he got big & then went to so many of his “bar concerts”. Have photos with him & his guitarist Alejandro. I just love him 😅 raising baby boy right letting him hear that voice

[@charlottekenny-yap9411]

Aarons Ice cream saying 10/10 had me falling over

[@catherinecarter6714]

Bookcase. Try not to have too many different colored woods. Your beams and floors are cohesive. Bookcase should blend as well

[@jessicaemilyquinn]

Would love to know where your trench coat towards the end is from? 🫶🏼

[@kennaleo]

Aaron is so funny hahahaha love him in the vlogs

[@AlexandraSwitzer]

I got the cone and I agree it freaking slaps 😂❤

[@heatherscott-fleming4888]

Match the beams!

[@gailsokol7832]

agree

[@KaylaAbraham-s2h]

Where did you get the olive tree and base it’s in?

[@katiehockert]

CAN YOU PLEASE DESIGN MY HOUSE lol!! You’ve decorated this so well, it’s stunning! Congratulations on baby A coming so soon!!! 🩵💙

[@mandyalva2023]

I love the jacket u are wearing! can you link it pls 💖

[@Mariah_rb]

I had lemon lime and it kind of tasted like Gatorade! I’ve heard fruit punch is rough. Fingers crossed you passed! I failed my 1 and 3 hour tests this week, and was officially diagnosed. On to finger pricking for the next 10 weeks 😭

[@Elizacrussell]

I think an antique chest (with drawers and/or cabinets) would look gorgeous. You can put a piece of vertical art or a mirror (a brass one would be gorgeous) over it, either hanging on the wall or resting on top of the chest. Or, if your landlord allows I would install open shelving and do more of a *built-in* look. Not as renter friendly but would be gorgeous! I think having something break up the space while still being functional would be great for your living room. ❤️

[@lindsayjohnston4136]

Where is your beige coat from at the end! :)

[@Myfairgirlie]

Last trimester is stretching your body out. Baby is just growing out. Careful what you eat and you’ll grow too! 🤣🤣🤣hi girls 💕!

[@Amandatravels_fit]

Birkenstocks are the best for your foot pain. My doc gave me that brand specifically to buy- especially around the house

[@sharbai8855]

Do you know what diaper bag you will be using?

[@SerenaChristineee]

Where is rues food and water bowl from? They are so cute!

[@alyssaegner4298]

Where was your green jacket from? So cute!

[@kaylamichelleflowers]

What is the blue color on your French mani?!? Stunning!

[@brittneyhughley6679]

You’ll want that space when baby gets here for a downstairs pack n play or bouncer. Just leave it for now and wait until baby is a little older. Put baby items in a cute basket for now

[@elizabetebrandao8543]

Rindooooooo do teu primo 😅😅😅😅😊

[@MelissaLForbes]

“A 10 out of 10! 🤣😂

[@ownyourbold]

Everyone freaked me out about the drink and then I didn't even think it was that bad, lol. I chose lemon lime or something, it tasted like Sprite. I highly recommend that for your next baby lol!

[@ownyourbold]

Omg you mentioned that right after I typed it lol

[@soniamoreira5003]

I love your new living room. I think your room looks great but a shelf would be too much I feel. Maybe a nice big basket so you can put blankets and then when baby arrives its big and you can store his toys. Only my opinion.

[@kbwatson12]

Where’s the cute black woven bag from?

[@jennywang4498]

They’re Bottega Veneta bags

[@ryanrowe1975]

Amazing

[@leslierussell9317]

Match the beams

[@laurenernst5745]

An arched dark green book shelf/cabinet would look sooo pretty. It would add a little color but still be somewhat neutral

[@laurenernst5745]

Also Aaron is so effing funny I crack up every time he’s in the vlog🤣😭

[@amandakate1247]

The orange was manageable but I agree the sugar is unbearable 🫣

[@tammyjones6779]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@elizabetha8076]

💙

[@michellefriesen1756]

Next time, use a straw to do the glucose test. It makes it way easier to get that drink down.

[@elizabetebrandao8543]

❤❤❤❤❤❤🌺🌺

[@BClanBeauty]

I am curious, why was your glucose drink clear and not orange and why were you allowed to do that in the car? Typically you sit in the office and wait it out…

[@PatriciaPartin]

I would leave it open for a cleaner, more minimalist look.
