“We’re back for our third episode of Ada Talks! Your feedback on my last video was very much appreciated guys. This video is more serious for me to put out as I didn’t think I’d be making one like this anytime soon. I’ll answer the few questions I received after the news."

“For months now, River and I have been planning and trying to conceive another baby. We thought the timing was right for it as the boys are getting older and we would have a decent age gap between them and the new baby. We haven’t taken a pregnancy test in a few weeks now because the last few results came back negative. This one was different. I could feel it. As soon as I took this pregnancy test I called to River to bring the vlog camera through to capture the moment.. just in case.”

“Now here we are. Two minutes after taking the test. I have never been more nervous about the results. We have to wait another minute and the suspense is killing us both. I know the result could come back as negative again but I honestly feel like it’s different this time. I’m so excited to have another one. To feel them move about and kick. To watch them roll over, take their first steps, say their first words. I love being a mother more than anything in this world. I’ve always wanted a big family, River too. This is why we’re so excited about to prospect of having another little lovebug.”

“Three minutes is more than up, due to my babbling on, obviously. Let’s check these results, shall we?”

“Postive. Postive. Positive. I knew it! Don’t laugh at me, River! I’m going to cry.. This.. I can’t believe.. - We’re going to have another baby. Another.. baby..”

“I’m so sorry guys. I didn’t expect to be crying on one of these vlogs. Not now at least. I feel so blessed right now. I cannot believe that we did it.. we got pregnant again.

“I guess.. There you go, guys. That’s the news we wanted to share with you. We’ve been trying to no avail for almost six months now and I’m so excited to share the news that we are indeed pregnant! I can’t believe I’m crying on one of my vlogs to you guys, I apologize.. I’m just so happy. Now I guess it’s time to move on to the few questions I got sent in this week. I left them until last, due to there only being a few of them.”

** The questions below are all that were sent in this week. If you want your question to be answered feel free to send them in and they’ll be answered next time. **

Question 1; What made you want to become a model? - @littlefrenchsims Answer; “I was told by many friends throughout high school, including Bridgett, that I had the figure to become a model if I chose to pursue it. I was also interested in modeling from a young age, always parading around my room in different outfits, posing for pictures, etc. I started off my portfolio for modeling when I was sixteen, two years before actually getting into it properly.” 

Question 2; River isn’t jealous of your job? - @littlefrenchsims Answer; “River sometimes does get jealous of me modeling, mainly when I’m in lingerie or doing a nude shoot. He prefers my almost fully clothed shoots to the rest, which is understandable due to him being my husband and wanting to be the only person to see my body in such a way. Though, he fully supports me with it.”

Question 3; What is your beauty secret? - @littlefrenchsims Answer; “Makeup! Lol. Thank you. Although when I was younger I wanted lip fillers, I didn’t do it and I’m glad I didn’t. I used to be so insecure about my face/body but over the years (and with the help of my husband and modeling) I’ve gotten over the insecurities. If you want, I can upload a before and after of my makeup routine including a list of the products used?”

“I want to thank you guys, yet again for sending in these questions. I really do enjoy reading and answering them for you. I hope you are happy with this weeks video and I’ll be updating you guys more with a weekly post on our newest lovebug, once we’ve found out how far along we are! Thank you guys for tuning in, see you next week. Adios!”

[entertainingsimmer]

“You know I love you, right?” “Of course, Dax..” “And I’d do anything and everything for you?” “I know, I know.” “I’m not in this for a short period of time, Zailey. I’m here for the long haul. Forever kinda of thing. I would never leave you, I promise.” “It’s just.. I’ve been hurt so many times before. So many. I really like you.. I don’t want it to end up the same way as the rest.” “It won’t end up like the rest. I love you, Zailey Amethyst Connor. Nothing in this world will ever change that fact. I bought us this house.. this home. It’s ours. We’re going to raise our family here.” “I love you too, Dax. I’m just scared you’re going to leave.” “Darlin, you can’t get rid of me that easily. I mean, who else am I going to propose to? There’s no one here but you..” “Dax.. Do you mean? - Are you?..” “Zailey.. I gave you a promise ring nine months ago with the intent of replacing it with a real engagement ring. I’m in this for life, babydoll. Will you be joining me? Be my wife Zailey..”

[bloggingwithmamabear]

“Welcome back to another episode of Ada Talks! I’m excited that you guys are enjoying the series so far. So far, I’ve decided that the schedule for this series will be weekly if enough questions are sent in and if not then every two weeks. I hope that’s alright with you guys? There won’t be a specific day set but I’ll try my best to upload around the same time.”

“As I said in the previous episode, I’m likely to invite ‘guests’ to join me for an episode meaning you can also send in questions regarding them and their family as well as myself/my family. In this episode I have my husband, River, joining me! We will both answer the questions to the best of our abilities.”

** The questions below are all that were sent in this week. If you want your question to be answered feel free to send them in and they’ll be answered next time. **

Question 1; What is the most difficult and the most amazing parts of maternity? - @sjmaktub  

Ada Answer; “I’d have to say the most amazing part is when you first notice you have a little bump or when the baby starts to kick. It’s amazing knowing you’re carrying life inside of you. The most difficult? Probably the swollen ankles and not being able to move much near the end of your pregnancy.” River Answer; “One-hundred percent, the most amazing part would be feeling them kick. As you don’t have them growing inside you, it’s so astonishing realizing you’re actually going to be a parent. Worst would be dealing with Ada’s mood swings. You couldn’t watch anything together on the TV because she’d just cry at everything.”

Question 2; Not sure if anyone has asked before, but how was your labor experience? - @sjmaktub

Ada Answer; “With both pregnancies, my labor experiences were pretty different. Giving birth to Maddox was one of the hardest things I’ve gone through. Over 9 hours of contractions and labor to give birth to my first baby boy. Meanwhile, Lennon’s birth was super easy compared to most of the stories I heard about and my previous labor experience. I was only in labor with Lennon for an hour and a half, roughly. It’s so worth it though to have your little one in your arms.” River Answer; “Being the father, all I could really do was try to calm and support my wife throughout both labor experiences. I had my hand crushed both times but when I heard their cries I started crying myself. It was amazing.”

Question 3;  There are bound to be setbacks in every relationship, but there's always a way of finding common ground and getting through those rough patches together.. What would you say was the turning point in your relationship? Do you feel like any of you has done something that changed the way you perceive relationships and love life in general? Have you grown more understanding of each other? Have you ever had problems accepting the differences? If there are any? - @afterlifesims 

River Answer; “I think losing my mum kind of put setbacks in our relationship. I closed Ada off, drank and smoked weed more than I should have allowed myself too. I found myself.. drowning. But it was the day she was crying because she felt like a single mother that changed everything. Seeing the way she looked at me, it was like she was looking right through me. It broke my heart, it tore me apart. I vowed to never go down that path. I’m more understanding, accepting and thoughtful when it comes to my wife.” Ada Answer; “Other than that, I’d have to say that at the beginning of our relationship River was a major part in helping me get over my previous partner. As you may know, I dated Benjen for almost 2 years before I met River again. The relationship ended badly and I suffered a miscarriage in it. There was also another occasion where Benjen had come to my apartment, though I don’t like to speak about that. River was the only person I confided in after the incident. I felt safe and secure with River around. He protected me from him. He helped me through the emotional trauma as well as the physical trauma and stuck by me.”

Question 4; How did you deal with the pregnancies? - @greyfamilyvalues

Ada Answer; “It was a lot smoother with Lennon since I already knew how to handle everything including the labor. River was a major help throughout both pregnancies though, dealing with all my cravings and mood swings.” River Answer; “When I found out Ada was pregnant with Maddox I freaked out a little but I was excited to become a Dad. We had only been together a few months when Ada got pregnant so it all happened very quickly. With Lennon, it was easier due to him being semi-planned. We knew we wanted another baby but didn’t really decide then and there that we were going to try. We just let it happen naturally. I supported her 100% throughout both pregnancies.”

Question 5; What is your best memory together? Where was it? How old are you? - @greyfamilyvalues

Ada Answer; “It’s a tie between our night of skinnydipping in the ocean when we were 20/21 and his proposal a few years later.”  River Answer; “Probably seeing her again. I was roughly 21 or so, and I saw her at the party and just.. fell in love again.”

Question 6; Would you ever have Kelsey and I join you? - @greyfamilyvalues Answer; “Of course, I would! You girls are definitely going to be future guests in this series.”

Question 7; How do you deal with being away from your family? - @greyfamilyvalues

Ada Answer; “My family actually moved over to the US a few years ago to be closer to us and their grandchildren, though my brother lives a few hours away with his wife and children. I missed them a lot when I first moved here.” River Answer; “I didn’t deal with it well. It was a strain and made things really difficult.”

Question 8; Who are and how did you meet your closest friends? - Anonymous

Ada Answer; “Minus each other, I’d have to say; Neriah, Bridgett, Kelsey, Damon, Effy, and Val. I met Bridgett, Kelsey, and Damon in high school. Neriah I met through River and Val through modeling, and Effy when I first moved to Brooklyn.” River Answer; “My closest friend would be.. Mike and Dax? Mike and I met through Neriah and Ada. The husband crew, I call us. Dax, I met through Neriag as Zailey is her cousin, of course.”

Question 9; Have you ever thought about having more kids? - @greyfamilyvalues

Answer; “We both have spoken about it in the past and we do want to have more children in the future. We’re currently discussing some issues that will be featured in the next video update.”

Question 10; Who is the better driver? - Anonymous

Ada Answer; “River for sure.” River Answer; “Agreed.”

Question 11; Who is crazier? - Anonymous

River Answer; “Ada indefinitely.” Ada Answer; “Okay, so maybe it is me..”

“That’s all of this week's questions sent in from you guys! Thank you so much for joining me and I really appreciate your feedback in the comments below. Thank you so much for all of your questions and another thank you to my husband, River, for joining me this week! Next week I’ll be doing another solo video announcing some news that we’ve been keeping mainly to ourselves/family friends as well as answering more of your questions. That’s all for this week, Adios!”

Hello! I know it’s been a few months now since I last posted but I’m back now. I don’t know how often I’ll be updating this Mumblr blog but I’ll try to keep it at least 2-3 times a month.

We spent our Christmas with both our families, River and mine. Although there was a missing presence the entire evening due to River’s mum not being around anymore. Other than that, we all had an amazing time. The boys (especially Maddox) and their older cousins spent hours playing with all their new toys before we said our goodbyes and parted ways.

River and I brought in the New Year together with a few drinks at home with friends whilst the boys were already crashed out. It’s amazing that 2017 went by so quickly.

It all leads up till now. February 8th. Tomorrow is our eldest lovebug’s birthday, he’s turning 5. Can you believe it? As you can see from the photo above, we’ve already set up the table in preparation. I’m still in complete shock and awe at how quickly our little boy is growing up. It feels like just yesterday I was planning how I was going to announce my pregnancy to River, nevermind the rest of you guys!

Hopefully I’ll get a few photos with/of the birthday boy at somepoint tomorrow.
