Hi guys! My name is Nikki=) I make videos about everything I love! (and I love a lot;) I’ve been married to my husband/best friend Dan for 14 years and have been making RU-vid videos for the last 11 years…We have a beautiful son & 1 angel baby...I’m native to Los Angeles but we moved away a few years ago to start our family and pursue a “slower life”….I consider myself to be “fake homesteader” … In general I love living a healthy lifestyle, so I’m always learning new skills to support that and then sharing them with you all=) I love cooking, baking (sourdough please!) home making, gardening, self care (lol) and last but NOT least music! I don’t live in Nashville or LA anymore, but music is still in my heart! I hope to record more songs one day! Join me as I share our new journey on our fake little homestead in the city/mountains here in north Idaho=) James 1:27 ♡♡♡
@@estefaniaflores3736 that’s funny cuz I guess it’s all relative! I was just telling my husband last night how I feel like their suits are so appropriately priced for the quality! Maybe you have to feel it to understand 🤷🏻♀️
Shall we call it “day in my life..ROUTINE??” Hahaha love it Nikki ❤️ On a side note, husband and I have been drinking watermelon slush every single night , it’s divine
These vlogs are literally my most favorites to watch!! As old as I am I am still learning new things especially from you!! Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed week and weekend!!!
I can honestly relate so much to you saying that you love cooking but it is effort. I have a 18 month old and 6 week old and just feeding our family of 4 every night is exhausting and can be overwhelming to know what to make that will be quick and easy clean up but also healthy. It’s been hard to juggle lately so I totally relate to you in that regards.
Hey Nikki 🥰💕💕 yayyy I love that you shared this drink with us! That cake looks so delicious 😍you are so beautiful also I ordered one of the suits!! I hope you and family are doing well 🥰🥰🥰
This video is so amazing and so uplifting and so sweet and wholesome!! Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I've been a fan of yours for a long time Nikki and you're the best and you deserve happiness, love your content ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nikki, I need the cherry nice cream recipe PLEASE😭😭😭 I have been binging your videos and getting all caught up because its been awhile and I am pregnant and its ALL i can think about 😭 also side note, i pray about my babies names and what the Lord wants me to name them, and was pleasantly surprised to hear one of the names I felt drop in my spirit is Elizabeth Joy!!! how freaking sweet!!!
HG was traumatizing. It’s so frustrating when people who never had it don’t understand and just try to relate to you .. or worse, can barely care to understand what you actually went through and judge you making you feel weak and like you are clearly just lying about what you went through.. but I nearly died. Vomit after vomit, weeks and weeks in bed, weight loss, dying to chug a drink but you literally, physically cannot. I threw up until delivery. I feel like people have no idea what it is really like. It was absolutely traumatic.
I know this too well💛🙏🏼 It is the hardest thing I’ve ever went through. 4 times. Our first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage and we waited for a few years. My husband thought he was going to lose me, I had major health scares, IV, constant ER visits, not able to eat or drink anything and misery 24/7. Then we got pregnant again, and lost our baby boy right before 22 weeks to stillborn. I was sick til the day I delievered him. Then the Lord blessed us with 2 miracles after that. Our 3rd pregnancy, our miracle girl we made it to 38.1 weeks, felt like a million bucks after she came out. My 4th pregnancy our 2nd miracle girl we only made it to 32 weeks and she was born early. As scared as I was for her to be born early I was thankful to not have to be pregnant any longer. All 4 having HG. I always pictured a big family - and believing in that for us, but I believe God maybe just had different plans for us because pregnancies were painful and traumatic for me and my whole family. After we had our 2nd healthy baby, my husband and I agreed we needed to be done. We believe if God wants us to have more, we are open to adopting or another way of expanding our family. But HG is such a miserable painful experience - and it’s full of such a roller coaster of emotions because you just never expect pregnancy to be so so hard! So sorry you’ve been through this!!! It is such a hard road to endure. You’re not alone! And anyone whose is in the middle of this, one minute at a time. You will get to the other side. Keep praying, keep seeking Him. He is right there with you, in the midst of it.
Thank you for sharing!! My story is very similar to your but mine went to 25 weeks vs the whole time. I don’t know how you did that 😭 we’re getting ready to have our 5th child and I’m so nervous to relive it all 😫

Girl.. I can relate so much to this video. I had HG all 4 pregnancies the entire pregnancy. It is so traumatic and lonely. I always felt so ungrateful because I really disliked being pregnant. I am so grateful for my kids and being able to get pregnant but definitely extremely hard
Back in 2001 I had this horrific condition. Lost 30 pounds in my first trimester. I puked every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day. PTSD around this is real. There was no youtube at the time, so I had to try and find information online through forums, etc....and it was really hard. There just wasn't much out there at the time. Thankfully I found a couple of women who had gone through it that were supportive, but I was essentially alone in it. I am thankful there are so many more resources out there now! This condition is the reason I only have one child. It's that bad...there was no way I was going through that again.
This was me in 2021, from the 2nd to 6th month of my pregnancy. I remember the feeling so vividly.. I was 80kg when i was pregnant, on my 5th month i was already 50kg..i lost so much weight.
Had severe hg with two pregnancies, my first was born at 32 weeks, the second unfortunately ended in a loss at 21 weeks earlier this year after suffering with horrible HG, I know that the awful hg played a part in the loss, I want a second baby so bad but the thought of going through HG a third time is so scary to me and the chance of possibly going through another loss on top of it.
I have 5 kids HG with all of them, thankfully only into the second trimester. I agree that my two girls pregnancies were harder. I did take medications as I had to be able to take care of my kids. It didn’t take all of it away I was still nauseous but I wasn’t having to be in bed all day everyday.
I'm so glad you're on the other side of it! I had a rough last pregnancy as well, not as bad as yours. I felt better immediately after the birth, and mere hours after the birth my husband said that i look better (he meant healthier/got my lifeforce back)
I had the same experience when getting an IV! I couldn't eat or drink anything for two days. I finally went in for an IV, feeling like I'm so weak and dramatic, but then instantly felt better and was able to eat and drink. Fortunately I only needed that one.
Some of my favorite meals that my mom makes are Shepherd's pie, parmesan crusted pork chops, and stuffed chicken you just stuff it with stuffing and put gravy on it and serve it with mashed potatoes it's so good. Or a pot roast in the crock pot is really good to but like my favorite simple go to summer dinner is chicken salad sandwiches with veggies on the side
I was literally crying during your video. It definitely sounds like my story. I have two girls and in both pregnancies I had HG and was even hospitalized for weeks, because I couldn't keep anything down. Now I'm pregnant again (we knew it would be bad again) and I feel sooo bad. I'm just 9 weeks along but the thoughts of 'how am I going to do this the whole time' is so present. And the part of being so thirsty and not being able to satisfy that thirst I feel so much right now. I miss family life as I'm staying almost all my time in my room. It feels good to know that one is not alone with it. Thanks for sharing your story ❤️
I am so incredibly sorry friend 😔 I remember it so clearly and sometimes it scares me to even think about…my heart is with out and I’m praying for you rn…hang on mama…one hour at a time 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey my dear I just wanted to let you know that I was praying for you the entire time. it breaks my heart hearing everything that you have gone through and I’m so so happy that now you’re on the other side. you’re not alone and thank you for sharing all of this valuable knowledge with other women.
Your prayers and kindness mean more than you know! Thank you. I think it’s more the looking forward that makes me sad…like can I/will I be able to do this again? Idk…crazy…thank you again. Seriously 🥹🙏🏻🫶🏻
@@NikkiPhillippi Dear one, This is not a decision you need to make or something you control. This is a decision that comes from above, and you just need to surrender. Do not worry.
@@nicoleleus1 I know that’s right…it feels ridiculous to even speculate because life comes from the Lord…I just feel my mind going there sometimes…thank you again 🥹🫶🏻
Literally my HG was gone as soon as they pulled the baby out! But I went through it again because I wanted a second baby but I’ll neeeeever do it again, and that makes me soo sad because I wanted more kids. It was so debilitating, depressing, and I couldn’t eat anything for 9 months which made me have other health issues 😢 we don’t even think my body would be able to recover if there ever was a next time.
Im pregnant right now with my 7th baby and i have HG and its the worst i lost my voice due to so much vomiting even getting nose bleeds i lose weight instead of gaining and i hope it just stops..
Ummmm. Hyperemesis kills women. That is a fact. Medication in a combination of oral, rectal, and intravenous absolutely saved my life and in doing so, saved my kids’. Hyperemesis is caused by a genetic factor.
They’ve found a genetic commonality…they don’t know that it means it’s caused by that…also thank God you had that medication and were able to do what was right for you and your baby! 👏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻
I truly understand I had HG with all three of me pregnancy’s and it lasted until I gave birth and it was 10 times worse with my twins that was my last pregnancy it was so bad I never wanted to get pregnant again and I had my tubes tied
Hi Nikki 🩷 I love how open and honest you are about real life things like this. I had this with my son and it was the worst. Love you and hope you and your family are all doing well ❣️❣️❣️
I completely relate to this and the sickness is something I’m scared of if I get pregnant again 😕 my brain is also trying to forget so bad I’m sorry you went through this Nikki
I see the King of Glory Coming on the clouds with fire The whole earth shakes The whole earth shakes I see His love and mercy Washing over all our sin The people sing The people sing Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the Highest Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the Highest I see a generation Rising up to take their place With selfless faith With selfless faith Oh, I see a near revival Oh, it is stirring as we pray and seek We're on our knees We're on our knees Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the Highest Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the Highest Heal my heart and make it clean Open up my eyes to the things unseen Show me how to love like You have loved me Break my heart for what breaks Yours Everything I am for your Kingdom's cause As I walk from Earth into eternity
