Bec was 32 fighting for life, now she is 33 creating life!!!💓

The people that are still watching your channel aren’t “van people” or “cabin people” or “build and create people”. We are “Eamon and Bec people” and we watch because we’re connected to you and your lives. You inspire and are such a comfortable space to be each Sunday and we want to see every aspect of your lives. I think we will be so sad if the baby is not in every single episode. But we also honor your privacy so you do you!

Honestly I think the middle name Lee would be very nice and can go very well with lots of different first names! <3

As someone who is currently battling breast cancer at 27 and has been worried about the baby timeline post cancer life, this video is so inspiring and gives me so much hope ❤ thank you for sharing 🙌🏻

These are some questions to ask to help pick the perfect baby name: Can you see it on their name tag in preschool? Can you see them introducing themselves at a bar in college? Can you see it sitting on their desk as a CEO?

I think it helps you remember that you’re naming an adult, not a child.

So happy for you both. As an attorney for more than 30 years and running across all sorts of names of other attorneys and clients, this is something I have given a lot of thought. I suggest that you consider not only what this baby name will be but how it will come across as an adult if they want to be taken seriously. So many names are cute for babies and kids but not so cute as an adult which is going to be the majority of the baby's life. Plus, ease of spelling and not just something funky that will always be misspelled is a consideration. Best luck from Texas!

Eamon at 10:50 being like "yea adhd is a superpower sure but I wish i could like read and write. and spell." is the most relatable neurodivergent statement I've ever heard. so glad I went down a youtube rabbit hole instead of focusing on my paperwork haha thanks adhd

You'll bring light to the darkest day! Call him/her Sunny! :) Happy for you guys

[roachbeth]

I almost burst into tears when Bec said that she was excited to see what her child teaches her. What a wonderful response and SO TRUE. You are going to be wonderful parents

[angelabryce]

People will watch you because of your personality. It doesn't matter if it's van life or baby videos. We're just so excited that you're having a baby We can't wait to watch that journey

[elisabethm]

The second trimester is usually the fun part - the pregnancy is well established, you feel better, you’re not yet uncomfortably heavy. Enjoy!

[michellevictor]

This is the first time I've heard you guys talk about ADHD. As Eamon was saying that he hopes the child gets the ability to focus from you, I could see the pain in his body. While I had always suspected he has ADHD, that moment solidified it for me. I relate to that viscerally. Both myself and my partner have ADHD so the struggle is real but I know that we would make wonderful, loving, creative and curious parents. Love to you both!

Bec taking a selfie with Bear and saying how much she loves him and then looking at him in her garden made me LOL. Such a cute moment ❤️

[wikedkhaleesi]

I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant after trying for 7 years. I am so grateful to be on this motherhood /parenthood journey with you. ❤

[eamonandbec]

We would love your help in naming our baby! Please drop your favourite names in the comments👇🏻❤

[bevrogers]

I love love love all your videos, I’m 84 years old and I look forward to hearing and seeing everyone of them. Thank you very much . Congratulations on your upcoming baby. ♥️

[kathleengoguen]

I am surprised that you wouldn't even mention a girls name of Trinity, it is a beautiful name, it has such symbolic history for you as well. Trinity Lee would be such a fitting name for a little girl coming home with you.

Bec, watching you survive cancer was an incredibly emotional journey to witness. Watching you now pregnant, vibrant, with SO much vitality is even more emotional to watch - I am crying the happiest tears for you. The amount of hope and gratitude your entire being radiates is absolutely moving beyond words. You were a bright light before your journey with illness, you continued to shine through it even in the darkest times, and now on the other side you are RADIANT and beaming like never before. Thank you for sharing this journey with the world - just in doing so you are serving so much medicine to those who need it. You are a beacon of HOPE! I vote that you name the baby Hope. You and Eamon are going to be the best parents, and your baby is going to be loved beyond words.

I know this was a very baby-related video (duh!) but I just want to say how much I appreciate Eamon's candid thoughts on losing inspiration after some of the challenges of travelling. I travelled for a year, and it was amazing and incredible, but it was also very challenging and I often felt guilty near the end knowing how excited I was for mundane things like having all your bathroom gear at your sink, instead of fishing through a bag every single day for every little thing. It's nice to hear that these are common experiences, and that your travel goals can change.

"We have to be fluid with it all" (34:31) pretty much sums up parenting. And you are 100% correct about listening to your intuition. You will know what's right for your little one and you will work it out. "Firm but fair with a lot of love" has always been my mantra. You two have this in spades 😘.
