My Latest Videos on Youtube

16 February 2016

9 Month Baby Update - www.ysislorenna.com

I thought I would do a round-up of the latest videos on my YouTube channel, just in case you are only following my blog or may have missed these recent videos. I have been quite consistent on my YouTube channel this year (so far!), which is not an easy thing to do at all when you only have a few hours in the evening after the baby is in bed to edit and upload a video, so I’m quite proud of myself for sticking to it.

If you enjoy watching my videos, subscribing to my YouTube channel is the best way to be notified whenever I upload a new video, as I don’t always have the time to add new videos to my blog straight away, so it may take a while for you to see my new videos. Subscribing is easy and free – just CLICK HERE and confirm your subscription.

So here’s what you missed over the last week:

Q&A – How I Met My Husband, Why I Moved to the UK & Must-Have Makeup

I took to Instagram and Facebook to ask you guys if you had any questions for me, and there were quite a few, so I filmed my first ever Q&A video, answering all of your questions, including things that I get asked all the time like how I met Matthew, if we plan on having more children, why I moved to the UK and my favourite makeup products.

Turning 30: An Open Letter to Myself

On the 12th of February 2016 I turned 30 years old. Yep! You heard right. I waved good-bye to my twenties with an open letter to myself, reflecting upon 30 years of my life, my accomplishments, my fears, how I got to where I am and how I became the person I am today.

9 Month Baby Update (Walking, Teeth, Sleep & Routine)

A couple of weeks ago, James turned 9 months old, and over the past two months, he has been through a lot of changes towards becoming a big boy, and no longer a baby. On this video I talk about James’ milestones, how he is doing with his crawling and walking, teething, how we are still struggling with getting him to stay asleep in the night and I also share our routine for a 9 month-old baby. Stay tuned for the cutest videos and photos inserted throughout the video!

Now you’re all caught up! Don’t forget to like the videos you enjoyed watching and subscribe to my channel so you can be notified as soon as a new video goes up! I’m so close to reaching 20K subscribers on my channel, so you would also be making me very happy by hitting that subscribe button! :)

I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so good to step on the scales and not see those numbers going down anymore! I worried every single day for weeks, especially when my weight loss was so quick. So today, I put shorts on for the first time in a month (took it off right after the photo, as I feel so uncomfortable with anything around my hips or waist), pushed my belly out and registered that milestone. Hyperemesis is not in my past yet, but my new meds are at least helping me keep some food down. That’s a lot of progress from a week ago! ❤️

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
