A new chapter. | Transcript:

We were strangers once, oceans apart, two paths never meant to cross until they did. One moment, one choice, and suddenly what was once separate became something whole, and the space between us disappeared. Love was never meant to be practical. It was never meant to make sense. But we didn't ask for guarantees. We only asked for a chance. And so we leapt without a net, without a plan, just the fire in our hearts and the belief that together we could turn the unknown into home. And home we built brick by brick, dream by dream, until yours and mine became ours. And now the next chapter, the greatest leap yet. To grow what we've built, to welcome the tiny echo of us into this world. To take

this love, this life, and watch it grow. Not perfect, not predictable, but ours. Wild, real, and beautifully untamed. How long does it take? It says it takes 1 minute. I don't know what that means. I think it's a no. Yeah, that's a very clear no. That's a no. I'm surprised. I thought that would say positive for sure. I have a little bit of a hunch that it wouldn't work in the first go. I think it's still no. It's okay. Next time. Does that bum you up? I was hoping for a yes. Of course. I'm pretty sure that's no, right?

We're about to take another pregnancy test, which is number four, after three negative ones, only because she's 6 days late, which I don't think only 6 days late. Yes, it's normal. It can happen, especially if you're stressed out. Yeah, I've been stressed, but I'm like clockwork. Like I what? Three negative tests. I'm never late. Yeah, that's a very clear negative. I don't know. That's a pretty clear no to me. Then next time. Sorry. You don't have to say sorry, baby. I thought this one was going to be Yes.

I don't know why. It's helpful. Yeah, I think this is going to prove to be difficult. No, next time. Sorry. I had this dream last night. This dream was like telling me like, "How do you not know you're pregnant?" So, I just like woke up. It was the first thing on my mind. I was like, "Oh my god, I'm pregnant. Oh my pregnant." But we've had two negative tests in the last like 4 days, 5 days, 6 days. I don't know. Listen, I didn't want to tell Robin. I didn't want to get his hopes up. It's too right. The room's going to be so happy. He's going to be so happy. Okay, Robin's asleep. Oh I'm pregnant. Okay. Okay, I'm going to tell Robin. I want to take a second test before I tell Robin cuz I don't want I don't know. I don't want to give any

false hope. That was like a cheaper test anyway. And now I'm starting to doubt. I need to wait until I have to pee again. We're filming a recipe video today and I've noticed that Robin's kind of he's been a bit sad and it's kind of been since a couple days ago when we took our last pregnancy test and he won't say that's why cuz I know he doesn't want to make me sad too. But I can just tell his mood has been a little bit it's been a little bit down. So somehow in my head I was like I can wait. I can tell him on his in his birthday which is like in Yeah, it's in 2 weeks which is

ridiculous. I wouldn't obviously wait. It's like hard to do with mascara. I'm shaking. It's definitely pregnant. Really clearly two lines right. I need to find like a box. I need to find something to put it in. Maybe. What's wrong? No, nothing. Everything's going wrong. Everything's passed you. They don't have the bread. That something that'll make you feel better. Is it a positive pregnancy test? No. It's a birthday gift. This? Yeah.

No, baby. Yeah. No. Why? No. It's not my birthday. I don't want it now. It's a early birthday gift. No, I don't want it. Baby. Baby, I don't want to. Oh my god. I have so many feelings. Is this real? Yeah. that you can give that to yourself. Oh my god. I just found out this morning. Really? Yeah. Really? The first one was this morning and the other one was just now. But you tested before. Yeah, it was negative before. Oh, so that was I thought you were keeping it from then.

No, I found out today. Really? Yeah. I need to cocoon you now. How can I cocoon you more? No more driving. July 15th. Perfect. That's a summer baby. Is it summer baby? Thank you for breakfast. Thank you for being pregnant. My heart is racing. Definitely want to puke. I can't tell if it's the morning sickness or if it's nerves or both. So, I'm about to call my sister and tell her that I'm pregnant. And she has to be the first person I call because she's sad as much. I was with her the moment she took her pregnancy test and found out she was pregnant with her first. And so she was like, "It's only right that I also find out first." Well, naturally, that didn't

happen. Robin's the only other person who knows, but before we tell the rest of our family, I have to tell her first. I have a gift idea. Oh, you look cute. You can't outdo me. I'm getting her a baby cousin. Oh my god. You're right now. Just give me one quick second. Okay. Sorry. Go ahead. Okay. Yeah, but I've known for two weeks and I'm dying. The morning sickness is killing me. Two weeks you've known you. No, don't give her balloon. Two weeks. I'm sorry. I told you within 5 seconds. I know. I can't believe it.

I've quit. My noodles. You're You're 7 years old. Like, you're just a baby. My mom just got back from 1 month of like backpacking through India. So, I'm going to call her to just ask her how it was and how it went and then drop the news. How was India? And one other thing Kit is going to happen next year is you're going to have a new grandkid. Oh my god. Robin, kiss her for me. Kiss her tummy for me. I do it every day. How's it feel for you? I'm happy that you talked. Yeah, I think especially because I know my sisters and my mom have experienced nausea, it'll be nice to at least talk to somebody about that then. And one more too actually. July 15th. July 15.

My dad saying he loves you. I love you too so much. Yeah. Thank you. So, we just bought a box of chocolates and we're going to hide a t-shirt in there that says you're going to be a grandma. And then we're going to give that to my mother. Oh, nice chocolate. What's this? I love it. It's perfect, right? Yeah. She'll never know. You will never know. But you already made something. This is something.

I'm about to tell my best friend that I'm pregnant. So, we're going to tell our friends today. And what I did is I made a whole quiz with little trivia about last year to see like who knows what everybody was up to. So, when everybody's hyped up and we did the quiz, then we dropped the news. So, I'm very curious to see how that goes. I'm um 6 weeks pregnant and this nausea is just totally killing me. Oh, our team doesn't know yet. So, I'm homesick, which I think I am actually also sick. I feel like I can't really do anything.

Like, I can't scroll social media. That makes me nauseous. the TV, the moving elements makes me nauseous. Being nauseous and being in this first trimester and working with food, like that being the primary thing I do for work is just kind of like I am just like so tired of this nausea. It's relentless. And I feel like I know I need to eat. I feel so hungry, but I can't. I know if I don't eat, my nausea is going to get worse. So, I know I need to eat, but I don't want to eat. So, I'm literally eating plainest of plain crackers so that there's something in my stomach. It's so dry. This is brutal. For somebody who loves food and who works with food, I need to review the recipes that are going to go into the app. And even just

looking at the photos, it's bringing about a gag reflex. It's terrible. Oh, I feel so useless. I feel like I'm not I haven't been doing anything. And I know it's okay. I have been growing a little human, but it's exhausting. I'm not used to not being productive. I'm at this stage of pregnancy where I'm like, what did I get myself into? I'm like trying to remind myself that this is something to be very grateful for. We tried for a while to get pregnant. Not everyone can, and so I'm grateful, but at the same time, I'm so sick of being sick all the time. just feel so nauseous all the time. What we did see is that is a very active baby.

Very active. We are going to our 20w weekek ultrasound. I'm very excited. I'm very nervous. Mom and dad. Oh, you can see the little feet. Yeah, guys. Oh my gosh. Oh, it's bigger than the first one. Oh, that's like you. Yeah, that's why. It's longer. You I don't have that. Nice. No, I'm just really relieved. Okay. So, everything is very good with the little one. I always felt like when people showed these before, they were so uninteresting. They're just like little blobs, but now I'm like, look at the little nose. And then we didn't want to know if it's a boy or girl. So, that's in this envelope. Although, I did she did say in the beginning, I will always call a baby. I'll say he and she said she

said her spine. No, you did hear that. No, I heard that. Maybe she didn't even notice, but No. Yeah, if I'm honest, I did hear her say after she checked that after she checked, she said, "Now I have to check her spine." So, I hope that she maybe just misspoke. But I think we already know. You want to just open it now? No, no, no. Really? I don't know. You getting emotional? Yeah. Yeah, we can. It's still up in the air. That means you didn't confirm anything. The confirmation isn't here. So, it's still could still be anything. Okay. So, our options were we were either not going to know till the day of. Let it be

a surprise. I'm still okay with that. But holding this now in my hands is difficult. Yeah, I know. Of course. Option number two is we make a date. We do some baby stuff. We go for a nice dinner and we open it. Then I like that idea. Then option number three is Yeah, I'm pretty sure I already know, but let's make a date. Let's make a date out of it. Nice little event. What are you doing? Looking up cribs, baby. So, Robin, the lady said the baby weighs 300 g. It's heavy even. Yeah. I think it's also actually like this size, too.

This could be the best thing that I'll ever know.
