[Music] hello you guys welcome back to another Vlog if you are new here my name is Kate today’s Tuesday it’s 10:45 in the morning I just got ready to go and run some errands in this Vlog I really want to get my life together get my together I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant and I just feel like I have nothing done I finally got the car seat and the stroller I ended up getting the Duna car seat stroller Duo cuz I’ve just heard so many good things about it and plus because it’s like a two in one basically my mom bought it for me so I’m very very thankful that she did that for us because I just felt so like unprepared and I feel like everybody’s having their babies early and I just felt like the car seat was like the number one thing that we needed the most right now at least I really want to set it up but I think I might just leave it in the Box for now for a little bit like I said I really just want to get my life together in this Vlog I’m 32 weeks weeks and I just feel like I have nothing done besides that like that’s pretty much like the only thing and I have a few pairs of clothes here and there and just stuff that I got from my registry like baby box that they sent me that was free plan is to go to Target right now and get a whole bunch of like postpartum stuff maybe that’s too early I mean I’m 32 weeks but I feel like everyone is having their babies early and I’m just someone who likes to be prepared and I feel like I’ll feel a lot better when I have all that stuff cuz I have nothing like literally nothing and we’re moving on the 30th which is in 9 days and I feel like I’ve just been kind of putting it off until we move that way I’m not cramming the apartment now with a whole bunch of stuff and I can just get it like after we move I don’t know what’s going on with my voice right now sounds like I’m losing it I’m losing everything I’m losing my mind I’m losing my voice I’m just kidding but that’s what it just feels like I just can’t believe the baby will be here so soon I got a message on my little app that I use for my doctors and scheduled the rest of my appointments like with my doctor and I’m like oh my God this went by so fast which I feel like is a good thing because that means that I’ve had like a pretty low-key easyish type of pregnancy I mean I was pretty stressed out and it’s very overwhelming but as far as like nausea throwing up and stuff I feel like like I never threw up during this pregnancy once which is crazy knock on W hopefully I don’t I hate throwing up it’s like one of my worst fears but I’ve I just feel so lucky because I’ve been able to work out consistently like pretty consistently go on my walks and do like my normal things so I feel very grateful cuz I know for some people it’s not like that that’s not the case my mom was sick with all three of us like the whole 9 months and it was just miserable for her so I feel very very lucky that it’s been so like Smooth for me so knock on wood it continues like that for the rest of these weeks but anyways let’s go to Target I don’t even have a list I’m just going to go in like the baby pregnancy section and see what they have and we’re just going to we’re just going to do it cuz I need to get things going I just feel very motivated that the weather is nice the sun is out it feels like summer it smells like summer like it just has that summer smell if you know what I mean I walked out into the garage cuz part of it is like uncovered and it just smelt like summer if that makes sense and it just made me happy so I feel very motivated to just get a bunch of stuff done and yeah so I hope you guys enjoy this Vlog if you’re not subscribed already make sure you do that I just pulled up to the store but do you guys remember this song it randomly came on my Apple music which I never listen to Apple music I always use my Spotify and I used to listen to this literally non-stop in high school and it’s just so nostalgic it’s the Ignition Remix by Phoebe r I don’t know if she still makes music anymore but this song is so good and I’ve been listening to it it just takes me back to high school so I just thought that was funny just thought I would share before I go into the store sorry the music is so loud but I want to get one of these too because I always see people put their post potum stuff on these little cards so I think I’m going to grab one of these too it’s actually a lot hotter than I thought it was I’m sweating I was going to go for a walk at the pond but I don’t think I’m going to because one my foot has been hurting so much like the top of my right foot where my toes and like the rest of my foot connects has been bothering me so much and I think it’s just because I’ve been walking so much and with just being pregnant and everything my feet are swelling and they just hurt so I think I’m just going to give myself a break I’ll probably do Pilates or something but I’m sweating the target trip was actually really successful they had pretty much everything that I wanted and I was looking for so I’ll have to do a little haul when we get home but went in the grocery section cuz I needed a few things for dinner tonight and I wanted this ollipop so bad I was just staring at it it’s the watermelon lime I’ve actually never tried this flavor cuz you guys know that I’m obsessed with poppy right now poppy is like my everything and I haven’t had ollipop in so long but I love watermelon and I love lime so I just wanted to try this okay wow that’s actually really good so if you haven’t tried this flavor grab that back inside I have the AC running so if you hear that in the background just ignore that but I didn’t know if I wanted to do tacos later for dinner or like little hamburger sliders which I forgot to get hamburger buns I’m so dumb went in the aisle to get the buns and I just completely forgot so I just got some cheese slices some shredded cheese sour cream gillow pickles like the little pickle chips some Min chuckle chip ice cream cuz Zach and I have been obsessed with Min chocolate chip of course I couldn’t pass up my cotton candy grapes cuz I don’t have any I went to do a big grocery shopping yesterday and they didn’t have any left at the store so wanted to grab a bag of those Cheeto are you going to be nosy and go through all my stuff I’m so annoyed at him because we left the trash out by accident last night Cheeto used to be a straight cat if you guys are new to my channel and so we found out like when we first got him he would rumage through the trash and like literally pick at it with his teeth and open holes in it to get the food inside last night we forgot to take out the trash and I woke up this morning to him literally eating out of the trash and there was a package of turkey bacon in there at through the package of turkey bacon he didn’t finish it sh but I’m like dude I don’t understand he acts like he never eats and I feed him pretty well he’s such a scr and he’s gotten better since we’ve gotten him but he’s just like on another level of crazy about food I’ve never seen a cat act like that about food I didn’t get too much stuff because I didn’t want to overwhelm myself and just get everything because I don’t even know if I will need to use everything but I just got the basics of what I always see people talk about on like Tik Tok and stuff so first up we have the Perry bottle a lot of this stuff is from Freedom mom cuz I know they have a bunch of good stuff but I always see people say that this one is better cuz it’s like pointed upwards and the ones that they give you at the hospital are just straight if you’re not pregnant or you just don’t want to watch this you can totally skip over this part but I just figured I would share cuz that’s what we do here over on my channel we just share everything got the Perry bottle and then I also got this healing foam pretty self-explanatory for your down there I’m just I don’t know what to expect I’ve heard both sides of the stories like good and bad but I just want to be prepared so this stuff should be super helpful I also got the Disposable underwear always hear good things about these I also got the instant ice maxi pads I think you just like crack them in half and they’re supposed to turn cold and you just put them in the pad or the boxer brief things and it’s supposed to be really cooling so I’ve heard good things about that and then I also got these hot and cold breast therapy packs you can put them in the freezer or the microwave yeah so for breastfeeding these should be good if the girls get sore at any point and then I always hear people Rave about the Earth Mama nipple butter this stuff is expensive by the way I want to say this was like $13 I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it was which is absolutely insane like I didn’t ask to be born a woman I just picked up some of this bottle and dish soap just so I can wash the bottles and stuff before he gets here even though I literally have I think I have two bottles from my baby registry they send you like a little gift box type thing that’s free and there was two bottles in it so that’s all I have for bottles I was most excited for this bag this is going to be my hospital bag I’m pretty sure I’ve also seen people Rave about this bag on Tik Tok and it’s such a good size I did not realize it was this big cuz I saw it on the app and I’m like I need that and it’s huge this should definitely fit everything has a lot of storage inside as well I don’t know if you can see because of all the paper but it comes with a big strap too which is nice and handy I think this was $40 so not too bad I feel like it’s a good size for that price and it seems pretty durable so we’re going to pack that at some point this was random but I really loved this color of water bottle and I figured I could bring this with me to the hospital so it’s a simple modern brand I do have one of these already it’s black and I love it so got the blue one it was on sale lastly I just got that cart that I was talking about three tier cart with wheels for like all the postpartum stuff that way it’s easy to just wheel it wherever I need people are so smart like I get all of my ideas on Tik Tok like this was on Tik Tok people always have like a post cart and they have like all the essentials on it the breast pump and everything so we’re going to set this up and put some of this stuff on there I don’t have too much my breast pump is supposed to come I think next month I got it through my insurance which was really nice cuz it was free I think I got the Spectra 2 I want to say there’s so many names for everything I can’t remember and I can’t keep track but it was pink and white I’m pretty sure it’s the Spectra 2 and I think they said it will chip like one month before my due date that should be here next month but it’s just so weird looking at all this stuff like I cannot believe I’m going to be a mom that’s so weird I just feel all the things like I’m so excited I’m scared I’m nervous I’m overwhelmed but I just feel so much better like with social media and everything cuz it really does help like watching YouTube videos watching other people go through it and just knowing you’re not alone and there’s so many people that do this every single day that’s why I’m so grateful for YouTube to Tik Tok Instagram even though it can get to be a lot sometimes and I always say to take social media breaks and do little detoxes and cleanses cuz it can be a negative space at times if you find yourself comparing yourself too much and it just gets to that like negative point but for this kind of stuff it’s so good because I just learn so much and it makes me feel a lot better here’s the cart that was so easy to put together and I am not the most coordinated when it comes to reading directions and putting things together and that was actually really easy so I just put everything on it for now not going to unbox anything I’ll probably do that in the next coming weeks I just want to wait till I get more stuff and just figure out what exactly I need so I’m not overspending on a bunch of stuff that I’m not going to use like I said I thank Tik Tok for everything cuz that’s where I get all of my ideas so I’m just going to stick this in the bathroom for now so it’s out of the way I have a call in a few minutes but really quickly I wanted to share how I make my red raspberry leaf tea this is the brand that I use it’s traditional medicinals CU this is supposed to help strengthen tone your uterus again learn all of this stuff on Tik Tok and they say to start drinking in around 32 weeks so I’ve been having about a cup a day so I just made a huge batch I did eight bags in boiling water let it Steep and then I just stuck it in here and I just keep it in the fridge so it’s easier to just have it throughout the week I have these two juices to go with it I’m trying to use this one up first but I’m going to buy this from now on it’s the uncle Matt’s strawberry lemonade no sugar added it just has a lot better ingredients but I’m going to use the rest of this for now to make a little sweetened iced tea grab my straw and that’s literally it it’s so easy you could just boil it and like make a cup of hot tea if you wanted to but obviously because it’s so hot out now and it’s going to be summer this is just like a nice little cool drink to have so I’m going to drink this and hop on my call hi exhaustion starting to kick in again especially in the afternoon I know [Music] hi Vlog it’s been a little bit 7:00 my meeting went really well I mentioned in my last Vlog that I had had a zoom call and it was with a management team and we just had like a follow-up call so we’re going to do a little trial and see how things go I’m very very excited becoming a mom and just having another thing on top of my plate I just feel like having a management team will help me so much and it just provides a lot of growth opportunities so I’m very excited about that so the call went really well I ended up going to my mom’s house after because my podcast merch was supposed to arrive today at her house usually I have stuff shipped to her house because stuff gets stolen at my apartment all the time so I went over there I was waiting for my package waiting waiting waiting and it didn’t come it was supposed to come today and now I guess it’s coming tomorrow which is so annoying cuz I was so excited to see it and to show you but I’ll probably just carry the Vlog into tomorrow anyways we also ran a few little errands together I had some stuff to drop off at the post office for Poshmark we had to make make a few returns for Amazon now back home just took my shower I feel so good my feet are so swollen I was going to make dinner but then I was texting Zach and I’m like I cannot make dinner tonight like I’m just way too tired so he’s going to pick us up chipotle and I’m so excited cuz I’m very hungry so I’m excited to have that but just took my shower I washed my hair I got the day cactus fruit 3 in1 styling cream the other day I’ve heard so many good things about this I been dying to try it because I have a few other creams that I use in my hair but for some reason everybody always Raves about this and I just wanted to try it for myself to see how it works so I’m going to do like that much and kind of scrunch my hair a bit I hope it doesn’t leave my hair like crunchy you know like when you use curling stuff sometimes your hair can get crunchy smells really really good though it smells like candy I look naked right now I promise I’m not I just had my towel on hopefully this does its job I mean every time I see someone use this on Tik Tok their hair looks so good so I have very high expectations for this cream and I also booked myself a hair appointment on Thursday so excited I haven’t gotten my haircut since October which is crazy don’t mind this bruise on my arm by the way I don’t know if you can see it but I got a I think it’s called like the teap vaccine when I went to my 32 we appointment the other day so I’m just going to let my hair air dry like I normally do but like I said I have very high expectations because everybody Raves about it we’ll see but I put on some little eye patches so excited for food oh my goodness I’m so hungry but I just could not make dinner I was very excited to make um I was going to do like sliders I think I said that earlier or tacos but I decided on the sliders but now too tired my feet hurt very pregnant over here and I just don’t feel like cooking dinner so Chipotle it is but we’ll have to see in the morning how my hair holds up I’m not going to go to bed with it wet I’m going to let it air dry pretty well before I go to sleep we’ll see I’ll show you guys in the morning Catch My Breath Take what’s take what I’m used to coming up second best always f a past the test I’ll be D if I’m leaving without [Music] you good morning Vlog happy Wednesday just made myself a little protein smoothie I made a Tik Tok on how to make it if you want to go and watch that but I did Frozen mango frozen banana vanilla protein a couple of dates almond butter spinach the armor colostrum and some oat milk and then I just lined the sides with vanilla yogurt to give it like a Haley Bieber esque smoothie and then I topped it with shredded coconut and KAC nibs I used to drink this every single day literally like 3 years ago 2 and 1 half years ago 3 years ago and it’s the best green smoothie I swear if you want to drink green smoothies but you just hate them this combo so good it’s like the perfect day for a nice cold smoothie it’s almost 90° out I haven’t even been outside I’ve just beening doing work all morning I did some platies it’s like way too hot for me to walk and I really don’t want to aggravate my foot some more cuz it kind of feels better this morning so hopefully if I continue not to go on my walks it’ll go away completely oh yeah here’s an update on my hair by the way I feel like it did a lot better of a job than the products that I already use it’s kind of hard to tell cuz I really need a haircut so my layers are just completely grown out but when I woke up this morning my curls were nice and bouncy they’re kind of I don’t know I feel like it looks a bit frizzy right now cuz I had it back in a ponytail when I was doing botes but actually really really like it that’s the hair I need to edit my podcast cuz that’s going up today it’s part two of my little summer glowup guide part one went up last week so if you want to go and listen make sure you go and do that I also booked a 3D SL 4D ultrasound for today I’m so excited it’s at 5:00 I wasn’t going to do one and I always said like oh it’s such a waste of money blah blah blah like I’ll just see the baby when he gets here but for some reason I just really really want to do one cuz I haven’t had an ultrasound since my 20we appointment and now I’m 32 weeks so I just want to see his little face and see how much he’s grown and everything it’s so weird like I always thought when you’re pregnant you get ultrasounds all the time and like I always thought the appointments were much more serious than they are but you literally just go in they ask you oh do you feel okay blah blah blah they measure you listen to the baby’s harpie and then you’re done it’s like the most unserious thing in the world and then for your ultrasounds like unless anything’s wrong you really don’t get them that much like you get them up until your 20we appointment and then you just don’t get one again so I’m very very excited for the appointment later I cannot wait but just wanted to say good morning show you my little smoothie show you my hair give a little hair update I’m going to get on my laptop now and start editing the podcast so I can have that up and ready hi Vlog it’s the next day I was a terrible vlogger yesterday I didn’t even Vlog the rest of my day I think I was showing you my smoothie I had to go to the bank with Zach because he’s in the middle of trying to get a different car so we had to go to the bank and it kind of took a while because there was so much traffic and then we had my ultrasound appointment we were just kind of rushing around which I wanted to show you the pictures I can not get over like how technology works it’s just so crazy like obviously ultrasounds have been around forever but it’s just so crazy like seeing the baby move on the screen it was just such a cool experience I’m so happy that I went I always thought like I’m never going to get a 3D ultrasound it’s so expensive it was literally $150 which is just outrageous and I think it’s just because in Massachusetts everything is so expensive um but I’m really happy that I did it because you have to do it between or it’s not recommended to do it after 32 weeks and I’m 32 weeks because they just get so big it’s like kind of hard to see their face and everything so there’s the baby he’s literally smiling in this picture I don’t know if you can see but how freaking cute is that he was literally smiling on the screen and we could see him move and it was just such a cool experience my mom came as well and Zach came and it was just so fun I’m so so happy that I did it cuz my mom we got to hear the heartbeat and my mom hadn’t heard the heartbeat before for and she was just like so excited and she cannot wait can’t wait to see what he looks like I can’t wait to like compare those pictures to when he’s born so that was yesterday and now today’s Thursday I figured I would just carry the Vlog in because I don’t want to have like a boring Vlog for you and I wanted to show my haircut cuz I haven’t gotten my haircut in so long and I’m actually going to a different Salon than I’ve been going to I’m going to my friend Bella which she’s been in my Vlogs before but I haven’t gone to her literally ever I’ve never gone to her salon and we’ve been friends since middle school which is crazy so she’s going to do my hair I’m not going to do anything crazy I don’t really want to get any length cut off like it’s getting pretty long but I think I just want to leave it long and just clean it up and do like what I normally do I usually get like framed pieces around my face I do long layers so I’m going to head there now I made sure to bring my water it’s so hot it’s another hot day it’s not really sunny though it’s pretty overcast fast but got to stay hydrated I’m obsessed with this water bottle by the way I’ll link it below I just love the color it’s very summery you guys I feel so much better oh my goodness it’s crazy how just a simple haircut can make you feel 10 times better about yourself and I love it feels so fresh and clean and of course it’s raining it’s so humid out so annoying like it hasn’t rained and it hasn’t been humid and of course when I get my hair done it’s raining cuz my hair is so curly so hopefully this last I’ll have to put hairspray in it and a bit of product so it stays but I feel so much better so I’m going to go home now and there’s a few things that I want to do I want to clean out my fridge and like wipe it down and everything because we’re moving literally next week which is crazy and I just want to have like the apartment clean for when we move and everything cuz you kind of have to clean up after yourself after you move to get your security deposit back so I wanted do that and then I have to film a few things for campaigns and stuff so I’m glad that I have my hair done my makeup done I feel good so I’m going to go home but I feel so much better now that my hair is done it feels so soft and I love it I love it when nobody’s around I want to call out but you B my lip don’t make a sound I’ll be down if I’m leaving without you [Music] just took a shower I washed my hair which you guys are probably like why the hell did you do that when you just got your hair done but I was outside me and Zach ended up going for a walk which I wish we didn’t do because now my foot is killing me again was feeling a bit better so I was like you know what let’s go for a little walk like we didn’t even walk that far or fast and my foot is still killing me so I need to lay off the walking like period but my hair got so frizzy cuz it was so humid out so my hair was completely ruined like it just got so curly and Frizzy so I just ended up washing it and I put in more of the day styling cream so we’re just going to let it air dry put a little face mask on moisturized the whole body oiled up the belly I’m so excited because I got my sample of the podcast merch should I just show you like a little sneak peek I’ll show you a little sneak peek of the back there’s a little sneak peek it’s so cute I actually really really love it it’s nothing like too crazy cuz I just really like basic things you guys know if you watch my channel I’m very I don’t know like my style is very comfy cozy I still need to like set up a website for it and everything so be on the lookout for whenever that comes cuz I’m just so excited for you guys to be able to wear it I was wearing it today I wore it on our walk but yeah I’m going to end off this Vlog here we’ll probably start up a new one this weekend but I’m exhausted you guys like really these last few weeks of pregnancy my feet hurt I’m pretty sure I have carpal tunnel in my right hand now cuz I just have that like wrist pain and it’s all tingly throughout my fingers I just feel like a mess honestly I really do going end off the Vlog I hope you guys enjoyed it I tried to be as productive as I could and get some stuff done so I hope you enjoyed watching I love you so much don’t forget to subscribe to my channel if you’re not already and I will see you in my next vlog [Music] la la la [Music]
