A vlog about finding out if we will have having a boy or a girl. Will Yul be a Hyung or an Oppa?

We are expecting our second baby!
Yesterday we announced that I am pregnant across social media and we’ve been overwhelmed with so many lovely comments and so much support. Thank you everyone!
It’s very exciting, although can’t wait until morning sickness is gone! It’s also why it’s been hard to make any content lately. But I will film a follow up video answering questions. The best place to leave a question over on YouTube. I’ll be talking about IVF, living in Korea and pregnancy in Korea in the next video.
We had planned to try last year, but obviously with the current state of the world we wanted to delay a bit. We had one embryo left so instead of full IVF, we just needed to do the preparation (the meds) and just one embryo transfer. We are very thankful it worked, as we’d have to start IVF all over again if it didn’t.
I’ll share more about it in coming videos. For now we just wanted to announce it and thank everyone for their support. Yul is very excited to be a big brother!
Our baby has been moving around a lot these days. While it’s so exciting earlier on in the pregnancy, and it’s still amazing now, some nights I do wish he would settle down a bit. Apparently he will soon as he gets too big to move around as much and moves downwards ready for birth.
Hugh will put his face up to my belly and get him to kick his face, a trick that hopefully the baby won’t do later!

This is what it can actually look like when the baby is moving:

Quick video of our baby boy moving. It can be hard to catch him on camera but when we wake up in the morning he can be quite active. He responds to Hugh’s voice as well.
When he is born we are likely to have more short videos like this on our YouTube channel as we’ll be so busy in the first month. We’ll keep you updated though. Make sure you are subscribed here.
In this video we announce if we are having a boy or a girl! 🙂
We also talk about prediction dreams in Korean culture and if my mother-in-law predicted correctly.
How to compliment your pregnant wife.
At least his made me laugh! We were on our way to do our weekly radio show and even in the morning it’s so hot in Seoul right now. I just feel sweaty and huge in the heat. Perhaps because I was wearing white, Hugh compared me to an angel… but soon made it weird by saying he would ride me if I was!
I can’t wait for summer to be over. I’ve heard older people talk about how summer never used to be this hot (thanks global warming) and it seems like August is the most miserable month. I love summer in Australia, but not Korea. The humidity is the killer here. I’m also glad I’m not in my final month of pregnancy in August. It will be cooler when I’m at the end of the pregnancy.
IN OTHER NEWS:
The latest Nicholalala webtoon episode is up on WEBTOONS! You can check it out there. Nicholalala is my other comic series which is a scrolling webtoon. Set in the Korean countryside with characters loosely based on us, and lots of Korean folklore characters.
There is an article about us on the Huff Post about Hugh’s transformation video!
Since I’m quite large now I’ve been wondering where my stomach actually is. Mostly I was wondering about my stomach as that’s the organ you are more aware of when not pregnant.There are some gifs and videos online about how the organs move when pregnant and it can be horrifying! I’ve been needing to pee so much lately and when I saw how much the bladder is squished it makes a lot of sense!
I’ve felt okay for most of my pregnancy. But the past few days have been hard in the insane heat and humidity in Seoul. I stay at home most of the time as even getting down the stairs to outside is hard in the heat. I don’t go outside unless I absolutely have to. Can’t wait until summer is over!
The baby has been moving a lot more these days and you can actually see movement while watching my belly carefully. It’s been very exciting for us. But it is a very strange thing being pregnant, and even talking to my friends who are mothers a lot beforehand, nothing really prepares you for it.
If you google about how women’s bodies change during pregnancy you’ll see the gifs and videos and be shocked too! It’s weird not knowing exactly where my organs are. And have a look at what happens to the intestines! Ridiculous!
If you are wondering if I’m prepared for having a baby…. no I’m not. I’ve barely bought anything! At least everyone has been telling me that you don’t need as much stuff as you think. But I can’t believe there will be an actual baby here in November.
This is my most recent belly photo:
If you are wondering if it’s a boy or girl, we have filmed a video announcing that, and it will be up in the next few days. Make sure you are subscribed on YouTube to see that video.
