- What do you think we should name your baby brother?
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Train Train Train Train.
- That's kind of a long name.
(cheerful music)
Happy 37 weeks pregnant day to me.
Yay.
The baby is to early term,
and he's ready if he does get born.
It should be okay.
40 weeks is a traditional due date.
Basically, it's likely that I would give birth,
sometime the next three weeks.
You can also go overdue, I've done that before.
And then it would be longer than three weeks from now.
But I don't know, I don't know what to expect.
It is wild weather here in California right now.
We're having extreme winds
to the point where a lot of places around us
are getting the powers just shut down
as a precaution because of fire safety.
And it's considered like, very, very intense,
fire danger week.
Kind of unexpected.
Didn't realize like,
all this excitement would be happening around me,
right before I'm about to have a baby.
But it's gross.
The weather's really gross.
The sky's gross.
Like everything was beautiful yesterday,
and we woke up this morning and looked outside,
and it's like, brown.
It's out there being windy and yucky.
Just kind of like, all the air is just like,
very brown and dusty looking,
so it's kind of gross. (Duncan chattering)
And we are on the way to a Doctor appointment right now.
So, yay, Doctor!
I'm really excited to see my doctor.
I've been a little bit sniffly this week.
It could be because the air quality.
So I'm gonna talk to him about that,
and I don't know if he's gonna give me a non-stress test.
But that might happen.
Are you guys excited about the doctor?
- [Kids Together] Yeah.
- Yeah?
So, a non stress test means that
they're just putting monitors on my stomach,
listening to his heart rate, and seeing him,
how much he moves in a certain amount of time.
At this point of my pregnancy,
I'll be getting one weekly, because I'm 36 years old.
So, when you're over 35 in the United States,
they, this is like part of the protocol.
- So you can actually hear
in the background there,
that's the baby's heartbeat.
That sound.
(heartbeat thuds repeatedly)
- And when you hear,
kind of like, wooshy sounds, that's movement.
Like you hear, like a whoosh.
Or you make the sound, Christopher,
you're quite better at it.
- Whoom, whoom.
(laughs)
Fun little sound.
This, I'm not gonna touch it,
'cause I don't wanna mess up any readings,
but this one measures contractions,
and I think maybe movement,
but definitely contractions.
And then, this one has goop under it,
and it is measuring the heartbeat,
or it's collecting the sounds of the heartbeat.
Go through these wires up to this machine here,
and the machine has two different things.
This one's contractions and movement, I believe,
and then this one's heartbeat.
And this piece of paper comes out real slow like.
So she gets hooked up to one of these machines
when she goes into the labor
and delivery department at the hospital,
and this machine's going the whole time
until she's ready to push.
So this, like, hearing this makes me go, like,
oh yeah, oh wow!
All those feelings come back,
of going into the hospital to have the baby.
- [Jessica] Yes.
- And our kids are being really good in here today.
Parker's got a tracing activity that he's doing.
Let me see.
Let me take a look.
So each page has its own tracing paper attached,
so he gets to trace these awesome drawings.
Bailey's reading a book right here.
What book are you reading?
- "The Hunger Games".
- [Chris] That's the last of "Hunger Games", "Mocking Jay".
(whooshes)
- Party in my uterus!
- See, I told you it sounded like that.
Whoom, whoom.
- Doctor Duncan in the house over here.
- [Chris] Hey, don't play with the equipment.
You could go learn to be a doctor,
and then you can touch that light.
But until you do that, that light is off limits.
- He's head down!
Yes.
The doctor did an ultrasound just to check
to make sure that he's head down.
He is.
Fantastic news.
Non-stress test went great.
Moving around in there, good heart rate.
The doctor checked and he said that
I'm like, fingertip dilated.
So like, nothing too exciting there.
He says he doesn't think I'll be having a baby
in the next week, I wasn't expecting to anyway.
And that's that.
- We are back home now,
and something very exciting just got delivered.
(happy piano music)
- [Parker] Is it what I think it is?
(scratches)
- [Duncan] Mine actually.
- It's our new baby car seat and stroller.
- I'm gonna make a spaceship out of this box.
- [Duncan] Me too!
- Oh my goodness.
The moment I have been waiting for.
'Cause this has been something I've been saying,
I'm not ready for the baby to come yet,
because we haven't had a car seat.
And now today, we have a car seat.
So, yay!
So we can have a baby now, Christopher.
You ready?
No? - I'm having the baby now?
- No, no, but now I'm like, a little less scared of it.
Or like, not scared.
I feel like, little more ready.
- Is this car seat gonna put you into labor?
- No, I'm not.
I'm not.
We talked to the doctor today.
He says I'm not going into labor this week.
- Well, that was before you had a car seat.
- That's true, he didn't know about the car seat.
This was my really big stressful purchase of this pregnancy.
We have to get a double stroller this time around,
because Duncan and the baby are gonna be so close in age.
So last time that our kids were close in age
was Bailey and Jacob.
We had a double stroller back in the day,
that I had bought like, second hand.
And we just ended up not needing it any more
as the years went on, so.
Now we need one,
I'm obviously like, so stressed about this purchase
as it was.
'Cause it's like, this is some fancy business.
I've never gotten a stroller or a car seat
that was this expensive before.
But I really wanted a good one
because obviously we are out and about a lot,
and a lot of my friends really recommended this to me.
So I was like, all right.
Anyway, our previous car seat which we used for Duncan
was a brand that I loved with all my past kids,
and they changed it.
The canopy that would go over his head
only went a little tiny bit
and it drove me bananas.
The sun would just be all on his face,
and we are very pale people.
We have very pale babies.
That canopy is like, so important to me.
I decided that with this baby,
I just didn't want that frustration anymore,
I didn't wanna be like, upset about it
every time I needed to use a canopy.
So, we're getting a new car seat
that works with this whole stroller system.
The strollers are systems.
They're called travel systems.
They're systems.
And there's like a lot to it
and a lot of like,
okay, well, if we get this stroller,
oh, I guess if we have to get this car seater,
or we get this thing, it has to have this.
Anyway, it's just, there's so many like,
little pieces you have to connect
when you are getting like, the car seat and the stroller.
And then doubling it and all of it.
So I hope I did okay.
That was why I was so stressed doing this.
It's like, it's so much money
and you don't know how it's gonna work for your family.
This took me a long time, guys.
Like, I'm not gonna lie.
Like, this was something that I was on the fence about
for a long time.
I think I'm gonna be really happy with it.
It comes in like, a bunch of different colors.
And I love the color of the stroller.
Like, it's so pretty.
That's exciting.
Hopefully this serves our family well.
For the next several years.
(cheerful country music)
Okay, so we are definitely still not ready to have the baby.
- [Chris] Suck it back in.
- Suck it back in.
This was such a bummer.
The car seat is right, stroller's wrong.
Here it is.
It's where baby should be going.
- But it's all together with the stroller.
- Yeah, but it's a system.
It's like one of those things where,
I guess, it's a store fulfilled.
Like, where Amazon's doing it,
but it's not like, really Amazon.
So Amazon kind of tried to help,
but like, couldn't.
Anyway, it's complicated.
It was a long phone call.
And I'm disappointed, cause the bottom line is,
now, even though the car seat is right,
we have to send the car seat back.
And the shipping for this took a while.
And I was like, ready to have the baby
as soon as I ever have this car seat.
And now, I can't have the baby for a while, guys.
I'm gonna have to suck this little guy in.
I tried not to let stuff like this get me down that much,
but I'm like, really sad about it.
To be very honest.
And I think partially it's like hormones,
and being where I'm at in pregnancy,
but I now feel like, really not prepared.
And I wanted to feel prepared today.
Like, I wanted to have that feeling of like,
this is done.
And things are like, good to go.
And then it just, I don't know.
I was looking forward to this a lot.
- We'll get it figured out,
and if you have a baby in the mean time,
we'll figure that out too.
- I just wanted it to be ready.
And I wanted to like, try it out.
I wanted to like, set it up.
And like, I wanted everything to be able to,
like, I wanted to get ready.
And what if, we go through all of this,
and they send us the wrong thing again.
So anyway, this is not ready.
And that is ultimately okay.
It just feels very disappointing in the moment.
Christopher is wrapping everything up.
I've thought about it.
We'll make it work.
We always find a way to make everything work,
and this is small potatoes
in the grand scheme of things.
It's just a disappointment today.
And that's it.
Duncan was telling us a story in the car today.
And it was so fun hearing him tell a story.
And I wanted to make sure we filmed it.
Cause it's so cool.
So go for it, dude.
Tell me everything.
Tell me about your whole day with Grandpa.
- I go in the pumpkin patch with Grandpa and Uncle Trent.
Parker and and and and Jacob not here.
- Ooh, so just you and Grandpa and Uncle Trent?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
And then, how was it?
- And then, Grandpa gave me a pumpkin!
- He did!
Tell me about your pumpkin.
(laughs)
Was it big?
Or little?
- Little.
- Yeah?
How big?
Show me.
- Like this.
- That seems pretty big.
- Yeah.
- Did you pick it out, or did Grandpa?
- Grandpa.
- Grandpa?
- Picked it out for me.
- Well, that's nice of him.
- Yay.
- Did you like the pumpkin patch?
- Yeah.
And then, Parker and Jacob.
Yeah!
Now.
And then,
Grandpa and, and Uncle Trent come for me.
And then,
they pick up me!
And then,
with me and Parker and Jacob,
go to the pumpkin patch
with Grandpa and Uncle Trent.
And then, Grandpa picked me a little pumpkin.
Like this.
- Oh, it's a little one.
That's a very little pumpkin.
- Yeah.
- That's pretty special.
- At our, my dad's house.
- Yeah, it's at our house now.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, it's a cool one.
- It's at my house.
- Yeah.
That was pretty special for Grandpa and Uncle Trent
to do that.
- Yeah.
And then,
Grandpa came.
And then,
Uncle Trent not came.
Then, Grandpa came.
- How many times have you been to the pumpkin patch?
- One, two, four, six, seven, nine, ten.
And then, Bailey go to rehearsal.
- Her rehearsal?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
What's she doing the rehearsal for?
- It's this.
- (laughs) That's what she does in a rehearsal?
- Yeah.
- That's cool.
What's the rehearsal for, though?
What is the show called?
- Well, let it go.
Doodle and dah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Like that.
- Do you know what Bailey's character's name is?
- Yep.
- What?
- Anna!
- That's right!
(laughs)
Have you seen her do her rehearsal?
- Mm-hm.
- How was she doing?
- I'm Dobby.
- You're Dobby.
Yeah.
Dobby's like this.
And like this.
(laughs)
Dobby like that too.
- All right.
I couldn't reach my hand to cover my mouth,
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
- You.
- My hand was stuck under you.
And I coughed.
I'm really sorry.
- Yep, yep.
He was like this.
- (laughs) I love that.
Oh, you're an excellent Dobby.
(laughs)
I just love hearing all your stories.
You're getting really really good
at telling stories, Duncan.
- And then, (sneezes).
- Oh!
- Grandpa came.
Mom got his baby.
- Mommy has her baby.
Yeah, what do you think of this baby?
- He got his toothbrush, and his.
- You wanna go get it?
- [Duncan] Yeah.
- That's pretty cool.
Who's that for?
- For the baby.
- Yeah.
Are you excited to share that with your brother?
- Yep.
- What do you think we should name your baby brother?
- Uh, Twinkle Twinkle Little
Train Train Train Train.
- That's kind of a long name.
(laughs)
How would we remember that every day?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. - So, we would say,
Come here, Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle
the Train Train Train?
Is that a name?
- Yeah, yeah!
- Kind of a long one.
How'd you come up with that?
Do you know anybody with that name?
- Like this.
- (laughs) like that?
So what do you think it's gonna be like
to have a baby in the house?
- And then, he walk walk walk.
He walk down stairs.
- Oh yeah?
- He go down stairs.
- Yeah.
- And then, walk walk walk.
And then, run run run!
- Oh yeah.
Did you know when he's born, he won't be able to walk?
- Yeah.
But we'll carry him everywhere.
- I carry him.
- You wanna carry him?
- Yeah.
And then, I go down stairs with the new baby.
- Well, let's let Mommy and Daddy carry him down the stairs,
okay?
- Okay.
- And then,
we swing.
We swing him, swing swing!
- Ooh, swinging him sounds fun.
- We swing him in the blanket!
Swing swing.
- Swing him in the blanket?
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
Where's his body?
- It's this whole thing here.
His body.
- Where's his face?
- His face is probably right here.
- Where is his, hm.
His, there's your body.
- There's my body, yeah.
- Can I see your baby?
- No, we have to wait 'til he's born.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
(laughs)
I love you.
Are you excited about being a big brother?
- Mm-hmm.
Bath time's really, really good!
- Bath time's really good?
Why, what do you like about bath time?
- I'm putting soap in it.
(laughs)
- You wanna sing him a song?
- Can I sing him Mickey Mouse in the Clubhouse?
- Sure, go ahead.
- Mickey Mouse in the Clubhouse.
Baby, is he singing?
- Oh, he's actually dancing.
'Cause I can feel him moving.

Ooh, that's fancy.

Say good bye to everybody.
- Bye, everybody.
