Thank you Eliana!!! I am very relieved to hear this. What Wonderful news!! 😊

Missing you sweet Allison! I hope you’re just resting up. If baby did decide to arrive this early I hope you’re both doing well ❤

[@nancydroge7682]

My sentiments as well! 💕🙏🏽

Hi Ms Allison 💞 !!! Thinking about you and baby and hope you and baby and Brandon are doing well. Wish you all many blessings and showers with much love. Missing you and watching your videos. Cant wait to see you and your baby boy. Let us know if you’re okay. God bless you all 🙏💞🙏

Hi Allison 💖!!! I hope you and baby are doing well 🙏 may you be showered with so much love and blessings for you and your family!!! Missing your videos!! Let us know you’re okay!!

[@debbiegordon7622]

Hope all is well with you..I'm thinking you had baby boy because no video Monday and no activity on Instagram either. Congratulations to you both if he's here and enjoy this precious time..❤much love and joy to you

[@user-xs9jl1dd1i]

I'm beginning to worry about our sweet Allison. Has anyone heard anything? Really missing her 💕

[@kimproulx5938]

Thinking of you wholeheartedly knowing that you were not due until next month, but haven't seen content in more than a week... as you always say I hope you are well and that's the truth for you and your family from Massachusetts!

[@BetsyBHAPPY]

I hope you are doing ok and you are just taking some time off, praying for you and your little family🙏🏼💕. We miss your videos, but also encourage you to take it day by day and come back when you are ready!🤗

[@RachelBuxton]

Hope you’re ok Allison? We’re all thinking about you and sending prayers ❤

[@samanthalewis005]

My first baby is about to be a year old next month! I’m so excited for you Allison. This journey is so precious. There is nothing like becoming a mom for the first time. Enjoy every moment. Document best you can. I already go back and relive the best moments!

[@AngieNic]

My guess is baby came early ! Missing you lots Allison and hope you are ok❤️

[@kmarie60]

Seems like lots of us are worried! I know she didn’t share her due date, but based on other things she shared it seemed like she was likely due late August/early September. This would be a very early little one so I hope he’s well and thriving if he’s here 💙

[@Sarae89]

I thought she was delaying videos and she was due sooner than August. To me, it just seemed like her bump was much bigger on the July 4th vlog like suddenly she was a couple months further along.

[@kmarie60]

@@Sarae89 that is totally possible! We really have no idea, this was just what I guessed based on a few things she shared. She found out she was pregnant Christmas Day, and since most people find out they’re pregnant between 4-6 weeks, that would put the due date in late august or early September. She also shared that she was 17 weeks pregnant on their Grand Canyon trip, which she posted about in late March. So that would make it a late august due date. But she definitely could have posted about that later or switched up dates to throw things off. Just me trying to be a detective lol

[@Sarae89]

@@kmarie60 yes I love the detective work!!!

[@jylfearn4840]

I’ve been worried too! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 praying everyday for them! ❤

Ohh my Allison what a trooper making videos until baby gets here!!!how many of you saw her breathing hard… your almost there hang in there. Thanks for your beautiful videos and content even in your last days of pregnancy..❤🎉yay can’t wait for baby

[@donnajohnson6403]

Allison, I know it will be any day now when you meet your precious “sunshine”. I’m praying for your new little family.

[@Josejojo1969]

Beautiful Allison, you represent a pregnant woman very well, with your excitement for the baby and how you have shared your pregnancy journey with us now you’ve kept things private between you and Brandon about the pregnancy which is to be expected, but the smile on your faces when you talk about your son is so sweet, my prayer is that God will surround you with his presence, his love and he has gone before you and preparing you and your body and that little boys body to go through the birthing process and you have equipped your body for labor and delivery and I pray that the nurses and doctors will be there to encourage you and will hold your hand and care for you as his son‘s mother as you give birth And that your home will be filled with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ as you bring your child into that home. Thank you so much for sharing your day with us and what you eat and how you go throughout your day being a happy mother to be we are all awaiting to see that little boys face and see you and Brandon‘s face as you look into the face of your little son❤️

[@Esandeech2]

Poor mama, you’re so out of breath. This is the final leap! You got this! Wishing you a healthy rest of your pregnancy ❤❤❤

[@gurwinderkaur7737]

Allison hope your doing great! You haven’t posted in many days. ❤ please update us . I was thinking about u all day ❤❤❤ lots of love to your family ♥️♥️

[@ceilidhmacrae8949]

I know a woman who focused on foods that nourished post partum moms & leading up to her due date, made a bunch of stews and soups and casseroles out of the ingredients & froze the all. She is now so nourished and so happy she did that!

[@janetr2234]

Sounds like that mama got a lot of protein in. That’s so important. I see so many moms making this mistake… Not prioritizing animal protein. There’s not one food in this world that is more nutritious than animal proteins. And what a great way for that mom that you knew to get all that protein in the way of stews and soups and casseroles👍🏻 If anyone is interested, the group, Mom’s across America, did a big lab report on hummus. Almost all of it in the store is loaded with glyphosate. So bad for you.

[@user-mo9we6in8z]

​@@janetr2234thanks for sharing this about the hummus!! Stopped buying it a long time ago because the taste is just so bad and always made me feel icky, so I'm glad to know it was a good move. Appreciate the knowledge about the protein too!

[@carolfields6071]

No news 9 days!!!!! Maybe arrival of baby boy??? Congrats 💙💙💙💙💙

I’m 5 months pregnant with my first baby! It’s also a boy 🩵 reading these comments are so encouraging and helpful. Praying for you Allison thanks for sharing your meals! I am in such a rut right now with the weather in CA. I don’t want to cook at all it’s 114 degrees where we live so turning on the stove & oven is miserable. You are motivating me to start cooking again

[@elise5195]

I have two under 3 and with my first baby I would never eat! I just didn’t feel like I had the time and didn’t make it a priority and it caused so many issues. Definitely make sure you have easy stuff on hand ❤ first time motherhood can be a little overwhelming but I have no doubt that you will handle it with so much grace ❤ Praying for you and sweet baby B!

[@ourwildflowerhaus]

this!! from a mama of 3 soon to be 4 - stock your freezer with premade meals! homemade if you can! cooking is much harder & honestly you’ll just want to lounge & cuddle baby all of the time 🤍🤍🤍 soak in all those snuggles!

Good morning Allison! Yet another beautiful video! Your recipes look delicious, and very yummy. I cannot believe you are already 8 MONTHS!! This is crazy, your pregnancy flew by, I’m sure you are so excited to meet your precious son, and you won’t have to wait much longer! Thank you for this splendid video, I hope you have a great day, and you, Brandon, and Palmer can enjoy these few more moments before your beautiful baby boy is welcomed into your lives!

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Allison!! I love this so much and I am so obsessed with your content. You are such an inspiration to me and so many other girls and I am so excited for y’all to welcome your baby boy. I love all your videos and they are so fun to watch. I love seeing you dig in your videos and he’s so precious. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@mariamangion21]

Your videos just feel like a facetime call with a best friend. I love the vibes ❤ A youtuber as inspiring as her is such a blessing! Your kindness and genuine personality always brings a smile to my face 💛 I appreciate you SO much 🩵 Have you thought of doing a bible study with me or a bible plan in the bible app?

[@clairewattie]

I would LOVE a bible study!

[@malindashumpert7956]

You're such a ray of sunshine, Allison! 🌞💛

[@rachaelann22]

🍉 Allison, the watermelons! I pick one based on a big yellow patch and lots of brown scarring on it. I heard the bigger the yellow patch means it sat on the vine longer to get ripe. The scarring is supposedly the sugar seeping out when it’s a sweet one! These tips have steered me right this year! Your way sounds good too!! Maybe combine all 3?! 🍉😊

[@tarnielaska-wolfe7812]

What a special video! You are so organised and have such an established routine already and even if it’s not going to be the same it will all help! I find a big time saver is having a list of things we use every week and I just add the list to my cart and delete and add what we do or don’t need! Then all you have to do is pick it up! I also write a list sometimes of what meals we will have with those ingredients so I’m not buying things that will go bad in the fridge! Sending you so much love in your 8th month of pregnancy! I’m currently 6 months with our second and love hearing about your journey ❤ love from Australia 🇦🇺 xx

[@amandaaudrey1344]

Meal prep! I have a 7 week old and nothing can prepare you for how busy you will be. The first few weeks are easiest because baby sleeps hard. After the first few weeks, they come to understand they prefer to sleep with mom holding them and it’s difficult to multitask. They do improve and this of course depends on the baby but I hear this more often than not. Good luck ❤

[@ktbear97]

I started using my stand mixer with the paddle attachment to make energy bites and it’s sooooooooo much better than using the blender. It’s way easier to clean! I just let the mixer break down the dates/dried fruit into the nut butter then add in my dry ingredients and use a cookie scoop to help portion out the balls 😋

My grandma told me to knock on the watermelons and the more hollow they sound the better! She also said the good ones all have a big scar on one side. Not fully sure the reasoning behind either of those things haha but she always serves the best watermelons so in Grandma I trust 😅

[@Itsalison_t]

What tea bags do you buy?

[@Emily_Morgan]

For a good watermemon check the heaviness, if there’s a lot of white scratches in it (means the bees think it’s sweet too), and if the green/white alternating lines are 2 fingers apart that’s a good watermelon! (Also if you knock on it and it sounds like a basketball)
