YouTube

First, I want to start this blog off by saying thank you to everyone who had followed our new family IG, @themacsarehere and also who subscribed to our YouTube channel. This support definitely means the world to us.

Now I know people are thinking, why YouTube?

There are multiple reasons why my family and I wanted to start a channel. Now this may not be your cup of tea, but all I ask is for you to respect and send positive vibes.

My family and I have always wanted to start up channel. We love to travel, we love to eat, and we just love to be around each other. During the 12 years I’ve been with my husband, we have lost so many photos and videos due to upgrading our phones. Technology definitely changed throughout the years and for me, it’s hard for me to figure out how to save all of my photos and videos. We tried to start a channel back in 2017, but I was secretly battling this infertility disease alone and it felt like it wasn’t the right time.

For those who have been following my IVF journey. I’ve been very transparent about my life and my struggles with infertility. I’ve documented my journey on my blog and my IVF IG. I have continued to write about and post pictures of my daughter. It makes me feel good when people have told me that they have followed my journey from the beginning and it’s fun watching my daughter grow up.

Reason number 3. Making videos with my family is helping our marriage. Don’t get me wrong, our marriage is not on the rocks. It’s just been a little different for me since Koa was born. This may be a bit of a surprise to my husband because I’ve never really brought this up to him, but I know he notices I can be a bit snappy at times. My husband and I work full time and we have opposite schedules. He sleeps during the day and works at night and I sleep during the night and work during the day. From the moment I start my day, my work as a full time mom starts. When he arrives home, there is no one at the house. I’ve already dropped the girls (my daughter and my dog) to my parent’s house, I work full time and I do have to say my position is quite stressful, but I do enjoy what I do. After work, I pick up the girls, make them dinner, give my daughter a bath, and put her to sleep. While my husband is still able to go to the gym, he has the opportunity to sleep 8-12 hours, and he gets ready for work. I don’t resent my husband because he also works very hard. He has a way longer commute than I do. He doesn’t get to see our daughter as much as I do. Sometimes he misses big milestones. I also want to acknowledge that he does make time for us when he has the day off. I want to acknowledge that he has more patience with me when I’m having a crappy day. I also want to acknowledge that this was his idea to finally start up this channel just so we can make more funny memories together as a whole and document.

This is our why.
