[Jenna's POV]

"Hi guys. I just want to begin by saying I'm sorry. We're sorry." I let silence fill the room for a few seconds, until Julien greets the camera, "Hey guys, I'm here too." He reaches across my bulging stomach to take my hand. "So many of you, our amazing, incredible, wonderful YouTube family, have been trying to reach out to us. I, in particular, haven't exactly been keeping you guys in the loop with everything." My eyes begin to water, half because of hormones and half because of the genuine emotions I'm feeling in the moment. "Please don't be upset with us. We've obviously been pretty absent, down to only a couple vlogs a week, a podcast or two a month, almost no streams, and maybe one video on Jenna's channel a month.  You all know we would never want to leave you hanging, but Jenna and our little girl's health were simply not worth the risk." Julien is so sweet to me. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder what he's really thinking, or if he really loves me as much as I love him. Once I notice the awkward silence, and hop up with an electrified "We're back!"

The rest of this week's video explained, in slightly more detail, that I was having some pregnancy troubles and the stress was beginning to effect the baby and I. Overall, though, we're now in the clear and I can go back to YouTube. It feels like forever, but I will be updating everyone more often. "It's currently a rainy September Wednesday, and lately Julien has been returning to his normal video schedule. Julie and Colin are stopping LMT for the year, but he, Rome, and Bowie have been spending a lot more time here. I'm going back to my normal uploading, but it'll probably be more pregnancy stuff and less camouflaging as a chair." I laugh and accidentally pee a little. "tomorrow we're recording a podcast called 'Drunk Confessions', but it'll just be Julien getting wasted and me laughing at him." Julien decides the video isn't interesting enough so he stands up, grabs the mic, and loudly yell-sneezes into it. "You're nasty!" I yell in response.

Jenna obviously loves when I'm nAsTy. I sit back down, almost crushing Marple. He hasn't left Jenna's side (more than usual) since we've got back from Japan. We close out her video by thanking everyone, and promising we'll be back on a consistent schedule. Jenna is so f*cking pregnant she can't even stand up to turn off her camera. After helping her, I go get her some pickles and cottage cheese, like a good fiancé. Since we've moved into our new place, things have been getting much easier. We're closer to most of our family and friends, and we have a much cleaner, safer, and stress-free environment. I think Jenna is finally starting to enjoy being pregnant with little Solomita. I'm so incredibly happy for her, and us. Jenna is laying on the couch with all the mutts, so I decide to give her a little bonding time and go get some work done.

[Jenna's POV] 

It's only 1pm and I'm already f*cking exhausted. I lay on the couch with Marple, Cermit, and Paesh. All three of them slowly approach me, careful not to hurt the baby. It's funny how much dogs really CAN sense pregnancy. Since my little beep is -2.5 pounds, I let him curl up on my stomach for a minute. He rests his little head on the baby's heartbeat and does that weird thing where he purrs like a cat. The nasty boy and the fat one snuggle on either side on my stomach, as if to guard it. Julien brings me some weird ass concoction of pickles and God knows what... he probably found it on the internet somewhere. He hands it to me, and I smile up at him. "Thanks, ot, I love you!" I exclaim, and he says it back. Then, I take the tiny one and put him on top of the nervous one and put my weird pickles on my belly. So far, the best thing about pregnancy is having a built-in table all the time... and the baby thing, I guess. 

Overall, life has been pretty awesome. Julien and I have been more in love than ever, and we can't wait to share the next month or so of my pregnancy with our viewers. New and better things will be coming soon, I promise. Oh, and we bought a house a couple months ago. Almost forgot about that.
