WE MOVED AGAIN… vlogmas day 1

[@meglie1]

don't stress over vlogmas if you can't make it your health is more important.

[@paulafamularo5001]

I wish I had that kind of flexibility in my career!! This is not a job, Meg!!! It’s an unemployed person filming their lives. Needing a break from a break!!!! Wait until she has to show up for an actual human!!

[@helloimyams]

@@paulafamularo5001 ah yes, filming and editing videos is not a job. Emailing with brands is not a job. making and selling merch is not a job. Go tell that to advertisers, people who shoot music videos, and other short form creatives. What a rude thing to say.

[@paulafamularo5001]

@ , NO!!! A job requires a schedule, and a predictable salary!!! Are brand trips a job?? Is receiving PR packages a job??? I thought so!!

[@Britdhu]

@@helloimyamsI think maybe she communicated this in the wrong way, but maybe she is referring to a lot of influencers make comments saying“it’s overwhelming.” Some people may take offense to that when they make way less than influencers and have to show up and meet deadlines everyday. Influencers aren’t obligated to do vlogmas and I can see how editing and pushing content could be tedious; however, it’s one month out of the year. Every job has its hardships, but most people have to show up and endure those things. I love her videos but I don’t think it’s a secret that’s she undisciplined in almost every area of her life. She acts very childlike. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just her personality. I do see how some people can view her indecisiveness as a negative trait. I’m not judging we all have our downfalls. Again, I enjoy her content, but I do understand people’s opinion. Two truths can exist at the same time. I definitely want her to put her health first and do what’s best for her, but I also understand how those statements can be insensitive to working class people.

[@cameronrickard8348]

Hi again lol. I think you're either a teenager? Or you're an unhappy person who probably feels a little stuck in life right now. If that's not the case, then sorry, but whatever is causing you to troll and write rude, uneducated, unempathetic comments on the Internet.... You should probably look inward a little 😬

[@skyerimell9984]

Sam. Let me speak for your OG’s. fuck what everyone else says . Miss days, post short vids, cut editing , WE LOVE YOU JUST THE SAME. you could go MIA for a year, and we would still be just as intrigued and entertained. At this point, we love you for YOU. And believe it or not … we learn from you when you take breaks. It shows us that even our favourite KZbinr is HUMAN. And again , we will be here even years later, posting or not . Your breaks etc. teach me lessons about life. So again… fuck anyone else who pressures you. You have the real ones FOREVER ❤️

[@morganreese7]

This!! 100%

[@cadavher]

Vlogs do not need to be heavily edited, we dont need fancy transitions or "asthetic" shots. Just you, whatever youre doing is fine! Vlogs were supposed to be the non stressful content, i dont know when that changed. It should feel like we are on facetime with ya, just hanging out! You have one of the most positive follow sections i have seen, take advantage girl! We love ya! 💛

I tried to not be quiet with mine because everyone told me to but my babies literally would ONLY sleep in quiet / white noise areas. Any noise that was loud would wake them up even with me being “loud” from the start I gave up after a month because I was so sleep deprived I needed them to sleep even if that meant them being in quiet lol

[@lhmccool67]

I completely agree!

[@SelanneFan8]

The best advice and needs to be followed on day 1! Teaches them to sleep around noise instead of relying on silence.

[@Pastel00Peach]

My friend (who is very loud) takes baby with her EVERYWHERE, even though grandparents are available, and I swear it has helped baby be able to fall asleep in any atmosphere.

[@Sunflowerlvr88]

Girl do laundry while he sleeps! Play loud music while you're pregnant the louder things are while you're pregnant the more sound he will sleep when things are loud when he's born! I wish I would have known this with my first baby but I didn't learn it till my 2nd

I did not know this! That’s genius.

[@Pikapichuu]

1000% ! Was away to comment the same thing

[@Heyitzbloo]

A girl i knew told me to vacuum a lot while pregnant so the baby would be able to sleep through loud noises

[@caitling9939]

Yes definitely agree! Do loud things while he is taking naps during the day and at night keep it quiet and dark so he can differentiate between night and day

[@cameronrickard8348]

I'm currently pregnant with our 3rd baby and pleeeaaasssseeeeeeee take your body's signs seriously. Making a baby is damn hard!! Your community here will care more about your health than vlogmas!! You will absolutely be supported!! But I understand vlogmas is a tradition and it might be sad to slow down/not do it. You got this, home stretch!! Congrats mom 🎉❤

[@christengardner1466]

Congratulations 🎉🎉. I just had a miscarriage with my third so hearing about other pregnancies make me super happy tbh. It's odd I thought I was done and then found out I was pregnant and then now I'm not but, it's like it was for a reason ❤❤❤.

It’s about $$$$, not tradition! This is her source of income.

[@cameronrickard8348]

@@paulafamularo5001 Well sure! But her needing to make a living shouldn't negate any positive or fond feelings the creator has towards Vlogmas. Additionally, one could say that she is approaching one of THE most expensive seasons of life, parenting. Birth in the US, if everything goes smooth, is usually around 40k-50k. Not to mention that not all insurance plans are made equal. For the next 18+ years she'll be paying thousands and thousands of dollars toward her child, each year. Not that anyone needs to justify making a living, but all this to say that it makes sense vlogmas gives her income, which may in turn fuel her doing it... but it's her job. People can do their jobs because they love what they do OR they can do a job because it pays bills. Both are valid, both can be true at the same time! Neither are wrong 😊

🧶 Crochet tip: save 1 of each yarn label, punch a hole in each end, then place it on a notecard ring and tie a piece of the yarn to it. That way you have a physical record of the types and colors you used, which comes in handy when purchasing more and remembering care instructions and such. So excited for your growing family and the blanket is going to be a family heirloom!

[@madisonmiller1626]

i think a good alternative for next year if it makes you sad to not do anything at all is 12 days of christmas! some creators split it up between november and december so it’s not stressful to get 12 videos out in a row!! love your videos!!❤️

If you see this Sam, please don’t overlook your body’s clues. You don’t want to be preeclamptic. My 1st pregnancy I was on strict bed rest (showers seated) for 5 MONTHS! It was awful. I was able to get to 37 weeks before induction. Be sure to stay hydrated and REST - lay on your left side and keep feet up. ❤ thinking of you and little nugget!! ❤

[@harmonygust8352]

I saw another comment talking about this but absolutely do not bring your baby home to a quiet house.I know that seems like the right thing to do and you can do whatever you want to do because you are his mama. But personally, I am so glad that I had music going and we were talking full volume and I cleaned around while he was sleeping because he ended up sleeping through everything and anything. If he can only sleep through quiet, you are going to have the hardest time.

I crocheted my daughters baby blanky and she was walking around wearing it as a shawl earlier as I was working on her soon to be sisters baby blanky. Crocheting has been such a relaxing escape for me through both pregnancies and in everyday life too. 🩷💜🩵

[@acornburt]

Babies can flip right up until they are about to be born. My daughter (she's almost 17 now) was breach. I was literally laying in there waiting for the anesthesiologist to come in and get me ready for the c-section and the dr came in and said to me, "I don't want to be that dr, and since this is your first baby, I want to check positioning." He did a last minute ultrasound and sent us home because she flipped. It definitely should have let us know about her personality. 😆 I had her a week later.

[@megantrahan3143]

I had a scheduled C-section and it was fantastic! Don't let anyone scare you or tell you that you are missing out. Both me and my son are perfectly healthy and recovery was just fine 🙂 You know your body and what's best!

SAM HIIIIIIIII love your channel! Normalize just a silent viewer and by NO means want to tell you how to parent! But you said something that made me giggle “remind me not to do laundry while the baby sleeps” girl I speak from experience when I say run the vacuum, do laundry, watch tv, go for a walk, clean the house, whatever needs to be done DO IT! EVEN WHILE BABY SLEEPS! This builds the ability to tune out noise and sleep through normal noises my parents did this with me and I’ve done it with every child I’ve nannied over the past decade and this is a LIFE SAVER!!!! No tip towing no waiting until baby wakes up to get something done and most importantly a well rested baby AND MAMA!!! Much love and great wishes as you start this new journey ❤

[@abby-yt]

Do laundry when the baby is asleep. Best thing you can do is not creating a super quiet environment when they sleep or else you'll be waking them up constantly during nap time, or you'll have a hard time getting them to bed otherwise. Just a mom to mom tip 😊

18:13 rice is gluten free! In the beginning of 'weening off' I used rice alternatives (plain, rice noodles, rice cakes, etc.) when I would typically eat gluten so it replaces a grain with a grain. Also makes it easy to accommodate when eating out of you have a rice mindset instead of jumping straight to the trendy replacements. Can also get overwhelming with all the alternatives choices so starting easy with rice was helpful for me personally

Vacuum, run the dishwasher, laundry, keep your tv on, play music..... Babies get easier and easier the more kids you have and a huge part of that is because the world doesn't stop when your baby sleeps (like it can with your first born). The mamas are here to welcome you to the club 💕 and happy to offer any and all advice we can from our own experiences, especially when the "traditional" things let us astray and we've learned as the times have changed (for YEARS no) and moms from all over the world have been able to connect like never before.

Yessss!! Vlogmas 2024, grateful to be here for many of them x. Hoping for some new vlogmas merch 🤞🏻. Also how exciting that you’ll have a little one to celebrate with next year, so happy to see your little family grow ❤ (and to see you happy ofc)

[@khristinabee]

Girl, at this point I'm amazed you post at all!!! Take aaaalllll the breaks, Mama. ❤

I’m 6 weeks postpartum & I had high blood pressure during pregnancy. Absolutely do whatever you need to manage stress and anxiety. There’s so much out of your control, just do what you can until you meet your baby boy. You got this! I’ll be praying for you guys.

[@angelicasarney8539]

Sammmm! Don't stress just have fun with vlogmas. We love anything you share or post. If you miss days no stress. I'm happy you will be doing vlogmas. Your videos always lift my spirits

[@dominicalucia]

Every time I watch your videos, it feels like hanging out with a best friend. ✨ Your authenticity is unmatched, and it’s been such an inspiration for my Vlogmas journey this year. Can’t wait for more of your Vlogmas content

30:29 I am a first time mom and I went to the hospital last year to be induced due to preeclampsia. I highly recommend making a birth plan! My nurses followed it to a t. I watched so many videos on KZbin and researched the vaccines they would give the baby. And I also researched methods to induce labor in hospital. This made my experience in the hospital seamless! Have Gerald go to the store and get a bunch of food and snacks because hospital food is nasty. I made my husband get Mac and cheese cups and fruit for me. As a young first time mom I understand how scary it all is especially not knowing when it all is supposed to happen. I kept reminded myself that I was built to do this! And that’s what kept me going! I hope your experience is similar to mine! And it’s truly a blessing to experience giving birth to your first baby. I wish I would have vlogged to have all those moments forever to rewatch!

Please take care of yourself. That christmas rug is adorable. Those tiny teddy bears are so cute. We'll be here when your ready to vlog again. Glad to see a new video.❤

[@marlenakrysiuk6915]

Omg I thought we weren't getting vlogmas this year I'm so happy!! But girlie we don't care if the videos are short or unedited - we are just happy to see you and the most important thing is for you to stay healthy ❤❤

[@trish3603]

Please don’t feel like you have to upload every day if it gets too much, focus on you and remember to be kind to yourself!

[@brieannajosey3360]

[@mackorange]

Sam! Truly anything or any amount you post will be such a fun Christmas treat❤️🎄You are the only person I have ever watched vlogmas for, let alone over so many years. I saw this in my subscriptions and got so excited. All you do is appreciated and just do you! However that looks, enjoy your holidays, have peace, and health 🫶

[@whithehearthro]

I am so glad you are still going to do vlogmas! Even though it’s not every day and less intense than usual I’m just glad to have what ever you can give us ❤️

[@soccerdiva446]

Don’t stress. Do what’s best for you!!! My daughter is almost 6 and I don’t think the nesting thing goes away. I wasn’t into cleaning and organizing before a kid and now I have to 😂❤

[@Iyonna_Lewis_]

Do what’s best for you Sam. I will completely understand whether it’s short the edits are great and etc. I will still watch your videos. I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes more smoothly for you ❤!! I can’t wait to see you as a new mama!!!

[@jorrdan.]

I figured there wouldn't be vlogmas with everything going on for you rn and how taxing vlogmas can be, but I'm happy that there will be at least a little bit this year! Idc how many videos you do I'm just grateful for any, thank you ❤

[@lexjohnson0803]

Anyone else been here since vlogmas 2019???? 🎄🎄🎄

[@kaycijakab9449]

Girl same, missing the old intro song hard 😭

[@wackblitch9580]

Your glowing babe, im so proud of you and your growth that I’ve seen. Love you ❤

[@raquelitacita]

I am literally so excited for your vlogmas!!!! Yay!!!! I genuinely get sad when it's over ❤❤❤

[@meganbartlett1807]

Mom tip do the laundry while he sleeps especially as a newborn. He will get used to the sound and you’ll be able to get laundry done as he gets older. My sons room is next to the laundry room and I slam the dryer closed when he sleeps and he doesn’t flinch

[@KatieMudgett-k2g]

Loooove your videos. Life really has a way to throw curve balls. My son is 6 months old now and he was a surprise for us too. Never feel like you owe your supporters anything. Your family and health comes first. BTW I heavily recommend the detergent brand “attitude” it is made without all the chemicals and strong fragrance that dreft has. Those chemicals and fragrances are extremely harmful to baby. Skin is the largest organ in the body in term it absorbs a lot. Anything EWG verified products. ❤❤

You might want to try the 12 days of vlogmas, where you do a video every other day. And it's fine if the videos are short or if you skip some days buddy! You're pregnant, you're dealing with lots of things, you just moved, it's the holidays, you're literally in your third trimester like you're about to have a baby. Please take care of yourself we all love you very much. And happy holidays too! Try to just relax have fun, enjoy this season of life. And if you feel like making some vlogmas videos, then we'll all be here to enjoy❤😊🎉
