Jack, the moment that baby is in your arms is something you will never forget, your life really does centre around baby from now on. Gabby all I can tell you is your body knows what to do and will guide you through the birth. Keep calm, remember to do your deep breathing and just enjoy the gift of a new life. If baby gets half the love you two show each other that is all they need. Food, warmth and love. Exciting times ahead!

I completely understand the feeling you're getting moving the wood knowing it's going to keep you warm in the winter, there's something visceral about providing for yourself be it food, fuel, making your own clothes, building out your home to suit you. It's the basis of life, how we're meant to live not just switching on a central heating controller on the wall. Be yourselves & be happy ❤🌼🌱

You’ll both be amazing parents - what you’ve achieved over the last few months is huge, and I have no doubt you’ll be ready for the baby to arrive. Ultimately babies are stationary for several months and do nothing but sleep and eat, so you’ll have time to finish things off and childproof the boat before he/she is mobile. You could follow the Scandinavian model and use a cardboard box as a crib for the first few months. Very eco friendly, easy to get hold of and recycle afterwards.

Jack and Gabby, I feel privileged to have a peak into your lives. Slow living was a concept I had never heard of prior to finding your channel. You have everything you need to have your baby. They need love and you both have plenty of that! As far as a place to sleep, I had a friend whose baby slept in the drawer of a dresser- not in the dresser - they used the drawer as the crib. It worked perfectly. I do remember on the way to the hospital, me telling my husband, I’m not ready , who thought it was ok for me to have a baby. Turn around I can hold it!! Yes I was adult! It was just the sheer enormity of what was happening. You are about to have the best adventure of your lives! It’s worth every minute. Thank you for a lovely video! Donna

You’re both going to be amazing parents - the way you live your life and the love you have for each other and this baby really is evident. As for what you need for bubs at the start - some clothes, some form of nappies, a blanket, somewhere safe to sleep (be that co sleeping or a bassinet) and a car seat are really all you need. A baby wearing wrap and/or a pram are nice to have (if you get a pram with a bassinet it can double as a bed for the first few months if needed), as is a bouncer, but they are by no means essential.

As a mum of 4, my tips are a)no one visits without food 2) find a good breastfeeding support group and visit now. I wish I'd had one with my eldest. It made a difference second time round. 3) if the baby is fed and clean, chances are its just tired. Put it down and go and have a cuppa or a shower 4) slings and out and about nipper pushchairs are awesome 5) be kind to yourselves - you are learning too

As a new parent you will always feel like you don't have everything for your little one. It's not until months go by and you realize you actually didn't need all the things you thought you did. As a winter mom my main concern was keeping my little one warm. All I can say is layers is your friend. They need much more than you think especially if the room doesn't stay extremely warm 24/7.

I have shaky hands, but have not had a mulled wine/cider emergency since I started using said smol ladle. Also, yes it’s entirely possible to do it non-alcoholic. I am not allowed the good stuff anymore (histamine argh), but I reserve the right to make my mulled wine and cider without alcohol and it is EVERYTHING. I start the first batch at the beginning of December and keep going for the whole month. It deffo tastes better once it’s had time to sit and mature.

I probably would get a small gravy ladle to help with getting the chai from pot to cup. And with storage at a premium the smaller gravy ladle would be better than the larger soup ladle.

I have a wood burner in my house, and I still struggle with space for all the wood so hats off to you!!. I do harvest as many pallets though for free wood that I can get as long as they're only heat treated. Free wood. Burns great.

Can't beat free wood and heat treated! Competition along the canal for pallets is high along the canal 🤣

You need a purpose made sauce pan to be able to pour without spills. You two are an amazing couple and your baby will have loving parents and be lucky enough to be bought up in nature. Good luck with the birth preparations I hope everything goes easily and well for you. X

Hi Jack & Gabby, if the UK is anything like OZ, house prices are unobtainable and renting is equally bad. Young ppl’s choices are, get on the treadmill and be stressed, or do what you have done. Your choice will be much better for your relationship and your child. I’m positive all will be good and I wish you both all the best for the upcoming birth :)
