Hey guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to— welcome back to another YouTube video. So today I have my 1-month appointment. It's been like a little longer than a month. What is on my forehead? I'm like wearing no makeup. I'm only wearing like tinted moisturizer. Um, and mascara. So I'm going to leave now. I want to stop at Dunkin', but yeah, I have my appointment today. I'm so excited. Hopefully he will clear me, and yeah, let's go. Outfit: this shirt is really old, so I don't know where it's from. Leggings are Lulu. Obviously I have my same shoes from Missguided that I love. Anyways, like I was saying, I'm now in my car. I'm heading to my appointment right now. My mom is watching Arabella while I'm at my appointment, and then she's going to head back down south. She lives there, but she comes up a lot. I'm so thankful that she does because she's such a big help. So yeah, we're doing like a chill day kind of today. I don't really have anything planned. I do want to do my nails. I don't know if you guys can see that, they look awful. And Mother's Day is literally this weekend, and I'm so excited because it's my first Mother's Day, and I'm so excited. I think we're doing Tampa and then we're doing Disney. Um, like my mom and my sister are doing Disney, and then me, Sam, and Arabella are doing Tampa, and and we're leaving Tampa and then heading to Disney to meet them. So I'm very excited for that. It'll be Arabella's first time in Disney. We're doing kind of like a pool slash like chill day. I don't want to do any of the parks obviously because she's still so little, but it should be exciting. So that's kind of my plan right now. Like I said, I'm heading to Dunkin'. I'm craving coffee. I'm so tired. Arabella slept so good last night though. It's hard putting her down to go to sleep. We tried like doing the bath time, like relaxing, but she likes the bath. It's just when we get her out of the bath, she hates it. She's freaking out. She literally just wants to stay in the tub, and that's not okay. Like, she needs to go to bed. So we stopped doing that. And then last night she— like, she gets these really long naps, and obviously I don't want to wake her up because she is sleeping throughout the night. Um, but it's like 8 to 9 o'clock, she's like screaming, doesn't want to do anything, hates her life, literally wants no one. And it's so hard because obviously I want to help her. I know she's biting sleep, and I know that for sure because she'll doze off and then she'll wake herself up and then scream. So last night, Sam and I, I tried to lay her down around 9. I was rocking her, she didn't want me. Then at 10, I was like, Sam, she does not want me, I think she might want you, so I could have a break. And he was with her for like, I think until 11, 12, and then he laid her down in her crib because that's where she sleeps now. And 30 minutes later, she woke up. So then I went back in there, and then I was trying to like calm her down I don't understand. I don't know if it's like growing pains in her leg. She kicks her leg so much, so I think she's obviously growing. I know that for sure. So maybe it is like growing pains. I don't really know. We did try to switch her formula to the gentle, gentle formula. Hated that. That made it like 10 times worse. So then we went back to the infant. That helped a lot. So we're sticking to the infant Enfamil formula. She seems to like it. And then at 12— anyways, going back— at 12 she fell asleep, and then she slept all the way until 6, which I think is pretty good. Like, she's not even 2 months old and she's sleeping throughout the night pretty much. Can't complain. For me, it's so hard for me to fall back asleep. Like, if I, if I'm up with her at 12, I won't go to bed until like 1, 2, because it's so hard to fall asleep. And I've always been like that, kind of where I'm at. Anyways, back to today. Hopefully this appointment goes really well. I'm hoping he will clear me. And I mean, I feel fine. Like, I'm starting to get like a little cramp, like little cramps down where like my lower stomach is. It almost feels like period cramps, so I don't know if I'm getting my period again, which would really suck because I feel like I just gave birth and I deserve a break. But I think it might be that because that's exactly what these cramps feel like. And I'm scared. I'm obviously going to mention it to him, but I know he's going to push like birth control, and I'm so not for birth control. Like, those chemicals in my body? No thanks. I've never even been on birth control either, so I'm gonna say that to him and kind of see where he's at with that. And then if he's like really pushing birth control, I'm just gonna be like, no thank you. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm gonna go get my Dunkin'. Got my coffee. I've never been a big Dunkin' fan, and then when I had her, I started getting it, and it just— it's way better than Starbucks. I can't even drink Starbucks coffee now because it like literally makes me go to the bathroom. Anyways, I got a frozen coffee with caramel, a whipped cream, and then a blueberry donut. It's so weird. Before I was pregnant, I was really, really sensitive to dairy, specifically basically cheese. And then when I was pregnant, I had like mozzarella sticks, nachos, like everything with cheese, and I felt fine. Well, now that she's not in me anymore, it like came back. My stomach is so messed up. Anytime I have like the littlest bit of cheese, I'm done. Just done. And I don't know if that's normal. I don't know if that's normal at all, but it is what it is, I guess. And it used to be like that with coffee too, but for some reason I can drink coffee and be fine and not feel like how I used to feel. So anyways, I think I'm gonna check in with you guys when I'm done with my appointment. See ya! Just now leaving my appointment. It went really, really well. I got cleared for exercising, everything. I'm so excited. Basically, it was kind of like a waste of appointment if you ask me, because I thought he was gonna like have to check me and stuff. Nope, just asked me if I wanted to get on birth control, which I don't. So now I'm heading home. I feel like that was literally a 10-second conversation with my doctor. It is what it is. Next time I have to go though is when I get pregnant again, which is not anytime soon. So yeah, let's go home. Okay, I just got home. Arabella is sleeping and I'm gonna go do her laundry right now. She's sleeping, so this would be like the perfect time to go do her laundry. Who's ready for lunch? Let's go! See, I'm wearing my flip-flops. How adorable! I don't know if you guys can see them, but— Okay, I'm done, I promise. You look so cute with your flip-flops. Ready? Let's go get lovey. We are heading to lunch. Let's go. I'm doing my nails right now. Forgot that I was vlogging today. It looks awful, but it's just the first coat. Light, light pink, kind of okay. Using this color, it's called Pink Pursuit, and then the dries in instantly top coat. And I'm watching Tara Michelle. I literally took Arabella's fan and I strapped it on here just so my nails can dry faster. But on to the next nail. Now I'm going to go upstairs, make some dinner for me and Sam, and then I think we're watching Moon Knight. I think I'm gonna make chicken and rice because we're both on diets. Not fun but necessary. I forgot to end the vlog, but I'm gonna end it here because I'm gonna start a new vlog soon. It's the next day and we just got done with our walk. Now she's in her swing. I put the trial on and I have some work to do, but yeah, that is it for today's vlog. You want to see anything, Mimi? Say bye guys. Bye guys. Say it. Bye guys. See you in the next video. Bye guys.
