We're Doing Our Best

As we continue to vlog our lives, including this journey of raising our child with social responsibility, it's essential to remember that everyone has their own opinions and perspectives. It doesn't mean that you're right, nor does it mean that we're right – we're just doing our best. We know that putting the lives of our child or children out there can invite some interesting commentary, but we're not trying to seek approval or validation from others.

We Think That Vlogging is Part of Our Lives Now

Vlogging has become a part of our lives, and it's something that we've grown accustomed to. We think that sharing our experiences with you allows us to build a connection with our audience and share our story in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. It's not always easy, but we're committed to being honest and transparent about our journey as parents.

Protecting Our Child is Number One

Our number one priority as parents is protecting our child and future children. We understand that this means making decisions that may be difficult or unpopular with some people, but we believe it's essential to put the needs of our child first. This includes being mindful of the content we share and ensuring that it doesn't inadvertently harm or offend anyone.

Drawing a Line in the Boundary

We want to acknowledge that we can't accommodate everyone, and sometimes our decisions may not align with others' expectations. We're trying to be positive and understanding while also setting clear boundaries around what we feel comfortable sharing. We appreciate your support and understanding, but we also need you to respect our wishes.

The Baby Comes First

As the due date approaches, I want to remind everyone that this baby is coming first. Our priority is their well-being, health, and happiness above all else. While we value our relationships with our audience and appreciate your enthusiasm, our focus shifts to the arrival of our child. We're excited to meet them soon!

A Few Personal Notes

I love you, Mom! I know she's not here in person but she's definitely being a part of this journey from afar. And to all the dads out there who are watching with their kids, don't worry – we're getting you prepared for fatherhood too.

A Little Humor and Fun

We've been having some fun moments lately. Like when I discovered that belching is a great way to break up a video. Who knew?! It's not always easy, but it's moments like these that make being parents so rewarding.

The Baby is Growing

Our little one is growing steadily. We're excited to see them develop and grow over the coming weeks and months. And who knows – maybe we'll even share some adorable baby photos soon!

A Heartfelt Message from Us

We want to take a moment to express our gratitude for all the love and support we've received from you, our audience. It means the world to us, and it's because of your kindness that we're able to share our journey with you in real-time. We're not trying to be perfect; we're just doing our best as parents, and we hope that you'll join us on this journey.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthank you for watching liking commenting sharing and subscribing right now we did that I mean Diana is doing most of the work at this point but uh I played a part yeah we really had an uneventful week week 16 of Diana's pregnancy God had uh bestowed upon me a sickness that uh was like a head cold and Diana was like yeah yeah well at least you can take medicine yeah I know I was really scared I might get I can probably still get what you had well I think I have a head cold because we were traveling in San Francisco and that was baby's first airplane ride even though baby didn't really get to experience it the same way we did Diana wasn't nauseous no it was nice didn't feel much at all uneventful God has evened us out or ever Divine Creator you believe in or don't believe in because this is our life I still can't hear so if I'm yelling right now I'm not angry at anybody I'm just very stuffed up Diana stuffed up in a different way you're like a Stuffed Olive with a little plemento wait I'm sorry not PLO that's not a word it's not a thing pimento you got a pillo Mento although I don't like black olives or mushrooms this is something you learned this past week yeah because I used to love mushrooms and all of a sudden they just kind of gross me out ew tastes changeable time it may have something to do with a pregnancy maybe not sorry I'm I'm sucking on a what do you call these lasagna gin so Giana who that's your new nickname I'm just going to call you jii what are you trying to say I'm like a giant di oh God I just walked into that one is it getting hot in here or is it just me no I had some tea earlier to try to help my throat sooth my throat Jazz and slav made the recommendation of green tea with and it seemed to have worked for me I asked Diana if she wanted any and she said no she passed on it uh she's checking Gana is checking her notes yeah oh the number one thing we want to talk about is we heard the baby's heart yes that was so exciting and I was trying so hard not to move because I felt like every time I laughed or moved the the baby's heartbeat would shift and we couldn't hear it so that was fun and you guys could hear it as well mhm because we put it in the Vlog that was uploaded yesterday yeah she measured um well she felt around my stomach and then said the babies's right about here I don't know how they can tell they just kind of pushed around and felt it and then she measured it and said it's exactly where it's supposed to be and she also said the heartbeat sounds great so that's good news everything seems to be going smoothly yeah it's like textbook really to this point and I'm grateful for that really uh another thing that we wanted to bring up this week because there's been discussion about it really for I would say quite some time certainly long before the pregnancy and Diana and I we've talked about it or talked around it but hadn't really kind of come up with that thing uh that would make it work and I think we've got a solution we're thinking about and this is not a guarantee we're thinking about and we brought this up really for the first time when we had a little Meetup in San Francisco and I think it even shocked Diana when it came out of my mouth cuz I hadn't even thought it all the way through and sometimes I just talk and record at the same time hello this is a great thing for me um Diana's not always comfortable in front of the camera she's grown accustomed to it now it's a normal this this thing here is a normal part of her life and pretty soon the child's life um I have a YouTube channel this YouTube channel it's primary uh vlogging or primarily a vlogging channel uh then the second Channel I just launched that I think has been going like Gang Busters for Geek content uh you know the tech stuff as well geek lifestyle stuff uh that's been going well but Diana does not have a YouTube channel and up until this point we really didn't know you know what to do with a channel for Diana so it is a distinct possibility and I'm not going to make any promises we're not we're not saying we're going to do this we're thinking this yeah Diana perillo's YouTube channel is going to be like this and yeah you can't get rid of me that easily uh it's going to be primarily mommy vlogging because Diana is going to be a mother for the rest of her life and that would allow Diana to Vlog her own style do do it like in fact maybe not even her own style but it may end up being like these pregnancy Vlogs once a week just off the cuff us just kind of sitting around and me talking Diana through some things and sometimes it may just be her yeah but a once a week thing yeah and talking about lots of things really even I know when the baby comes I won't be able to do my makeup the same way you know different types so maybe I'll develop little tips and tricks on how to do quick makeup or things I like even clothes or how I can I'm going to try to lose the weight how I'm going to go about it and things like that so it'll be interesting yeah it's like a a a a variety show around mommy vlogging so it's cooking makeup lifestyle mommy stuff cuz things are going to change when the baby comes we know this uh in big way that may very well happen and it would probably start with the birth I think it should be mommy vlogging Centric cuz I think that's what people are kind of looking for but I think it may be more I mean mommy for mommy's eyes from but it may be a parenting Vlog separate from the regular pillo Vlog which is just anything that happens during the day versus a a parent Centric Vlog which would be a great place what do you guys think M you know I think it's Mommy Centric obviously but I think parenting may maybe the best way to approach it sorry I'm like thinking like I said sometimes I just blah blah blah blah I'm a lot more comfortable in front of the camera so excited I'm happy about it I'm happy about you being a mommy and I like Kristen I'm pretty textbook so uh as I was reading my pregnancy stuff it said that I will be developing acne this week and guess what happened boom I got an AC oh I was going to come in closer but is it okay and well can you see it kind if I come in a little closer I might be able there we go all right here's a contest for every body name Diana's zit but isn't that funny how they said I almost think that I get it in my head and develop whatever there psychosomatic I think it's true cuz you do that sometimes yeah but no I mean I have been pretty textbook to morning sickness to everything which I'm very happy about I really I really genuinely am we couldn't have asked for a pregnancy to have gone better textbook cuz you never know it's all over the map women are every woman and I know that every woman is different you know this woman happens to be the best woman on the planet not that I'm biased or anything I'm just saying that's true we did an internet poll and uh Wicket and me got together and we decided everyone seems to now think it's going to be a boy they thought it was going to be a girl now they think it's going to be a boy I don't know we we will find out soon yes we will within weeks really oh I want to talk about the cramp in my foot oh yeah this was briefly in the pillo Vlog the other day as well yeah she freaked out I've never had anything like that happen to me and it was like a charlie horse I forget the proper term for it but it's like a cramping your calf muscle and my mom said she got them all the time during pregnancy and but you had yours right there that's where you've never had it before you've had charlie horses and then just out of nowhere my foot kind of like cramped up and it wouldn't move so I freaked out freaked out I didn't know what was happening that's when we were in the hotel I I clipped it briefly in the Vlog I think I was like oh my gosh what's happening yeah I I came up I was going to touch it and she said no no no no I'm like okay okay in fact they said don't touch it when you're cramping they said don't massage it just try to slowly lift your Fe feet up like yeah lift your foot up and fingers or toes you were afraid your toes were going to stick in that position too yeah oh my gosh it was the scariest thing she was you really she was freaking out yeah and it hurts so bad like I don't know if you've ever experienced a CR in your calf muscle but well I have yeah oh it when I get in my calf muscle it like knocks me out of the bed during pregnancy the baby takes most of your nutrition from you and takes it in for the baby so if it I might be having it more than usual I saw the baby is about 7 and 1/2 in oh and the baby's making fists and putting them up to his little or her little mouth and and what else is the baby developing right now it's developing stool so you have poop floating around inside the baby in your womb yeah isn't that cute babies first too a I wish we can keep it and frame it if you want we can bronze it but I don't know this may change uh but I'm not as excited about the poo yeah oh I'm sorry it's 7.75 in I don't think my fingers can stretch that far I need a couple more inches there we go so it's growing and the baby's heartbeat is strong and pumping 100 pints of blood a day pints okay Giana we are producing more Vlogs and and talking about uh having kids cuz this is now a part of our life a lot of people uh you know seem to project their own experiences onto us and and I kind of wanted to talk about that this week in the pregnancy update Vlog if only because we've been asked what are you going to do when you have the baby are you going to quit vlogging what are you going to do are you going to Vlog the baby what's going to happen and even though we know people who have kids and they choose not to put photos or videos or anything of the kids out there in the the general social media public uh I'm not going to say we were taking the opposite approach but you know I don't think it was even really a question we're definitely going to make this a public family and are very very aware that people like judging others and we don't welcome that we don't put our lives out there to be judged and so even though we know that everybody has an opinion and sometimes we may even ask for the opinion uh it doesn't mean that you're right doesn't mean that we're right we're just doing our best so we know that putting the lives of our kid or kids out there could invite some rather interesting commentary uh you just got to remember it's our life like my life Diana's life and the the child's life and we're going to make decisions that we believe are best for the family and uh we think that vlogging is well it's a part of our Lives now and seems that everybody's doing fine so far it's just that I know that you should do this with a baby you should do that with a baby you should do this with a baby we can't do everything yeah we can't be everything it would be really hard not to Vlog the baby even hiding the first couple months of my pregnancy before we told everyone it was really hard to Vlog around that and we're vlogging our life so that's what we're doing and we're never going to do anything to intentionally bring harm to you know anybody really or uh you know do anything that would be construed as negative or you know have a lasting negative impact on anybody's life certainly our job number one really for the rest of our lives is protecting that child and and future children as well that's the approach going to take I just want to I got to throw it out there because I I just see some comments coming in I'm like really come on I mean you just got to understand this is this is the line we draw we're sharing our lives with you just take it in that's it you don't have to agree with it you don't have to like everything we do that's okay guess what you can have your own life and you're welcome to your own life it's just that we're going to have our own life and part of that is definitely going to be um raising this child with a social responsibility that very few people seem to have yeah and it's a good thing too because my parents they aren't able to come they probably won't be retired for a while so they get to see the baby through the Vlogs too and this is how they're watching my pregnancy updates through this right here so it's it's a win-win yes and like the POS let's look at it yeah well I'm trying to yeah I'm trying to be positive about it I don't I'm not trying to be negative I'm trying to be very very positive but also drawing that line in the boundary that this is this is our family and we are inviting you in and and really exposing parts of ourselves that sometimes are very vulnerable like a pregnancy and we appreciate the support that you give you just got to understand we we we can't accommodate everybody and the the the first person I got to accommodate I love you out there and everything first person I got to accommodate is this woman right here and pretty soon uh the male or female child inside her womb will be Priority One and I I know Diana is going to slip to Priority zero no I don't mean that in a I I mean like you you're still number one is what I'm saying you're zero comes before one in the mathematical scale I'm not you know a rocket scientist or anything but I do know that so I I'm just saying that you know this is my priority this family is our priority and we're going to you know pardon me make decisions that we believe are best including belching on YouTube I think that's I have no problem with that they come along for the ride this is the baby see we really haven't seen that much of a change and I know some people want Diana to expose her skin and she will when she's good and ready but maybe maybe you are getting a little bigger this week I mean demonstrably there was a really good photo that I got a screen cap from the tldr that we did live from the hotel room like you up against the backdrop of the bright light and it looked really really cool yeah that was in a video I don't know if you guys saw it in the other YouTube channel the geek one so the baby's about right here and lunch is right about here yeah in the bladder in the Poo possibly in this area Diana gets ticklish sometimes I'll walk in I'll Pat her belly and she'll tickle like I want to touch the belly it does tickle I can't wait to read to it I want to read to the baby I want to sing to the baby I wanted to know my voice which is going to be unavoidable throughout life yeah it's it's it seems to be growing pretty you know Ste steadily yes like so thank you for tuning in for yet another pregnancy Vlog and thank you for remembering to like comment share subscribe and watch even more of our Vlogs right now okaythank you for watching liking commenting sharing and subscribing right now we did that I mean Diana is doing most of the work at this
