My last full week working with kids turned into a quiet turning point, as Jetske starts slowing down before maternity leave and preparing for the baby in practical, honest ways. Between babysitting, editing, cleaning the house, and choosing what still deserves her energy, she decides to focus on the essentials and enjoy the final stretch before her routine changes.

She shops for a new bag and wallet, picks up groceries for a baby shower, and shows the little everyday details of getting ready for a new chapter. There’s also a fitting test for the car, a rainy Sunday on the couch, and time spent organizing photo books and planning what content may come during maternity leave. It’s a relaxed lifestyle vlog about pregnancy, family life, and slowing down when life is about to change.

For viewers who enjoy pregnancy vlogs, maternity leave preparation, Dutch lifestyle content, baby prep, and calm day-in-the-life videos, this episode offers a realistic look at balancing work, rest, and anticipation. It also fits searches for family vlog, motherhood vlog, baby shower prep, and expat life between the Netherlands and Uganda.

00:56two or three months and hopefully forever that i'm only going to work with one kids and that's
01:05my own the discussion is always is it work or is it not i don't get paid but motherhood is
01:11also work
01:12anyhow i thought since my new life will start soon i need a new bag because my old bag it's
01:18it's it's
01:19not okay it's disgusting it's it's broken it's it's not good so i ordered a new bag and i just
01:27received
01:27it and i want some other bags as well like a little bit smaller i not only ordered a bag
01:35but also a wallet
01:36because my wallet was also like totally shitty and i thought i'm still going to use my old bag for
01:45i think the common week and then i'm going to throw it away but for now i'm still going to
01:50use
01:51it at least on the days that i work with kids because yeah sometimes i just move my bag put
01:56it
01:56on the floor etc and with this one i want to be a little bit more careful she said while
02:02throwing it
02:03almost in the plants but i'm grateful and i am also proud of myself i almost added my dutch video

02:20actually
02:20on the plan for tomorrow but now i can also have more relaxing tomorrow and since my boyfriend and i
02:27are going together to the gym on sunday which is basically my rest day i thought i take my rest
02:33day
02:34today use that workout for cleaning the house and then in one hour i'm going to drive to a place
02:45near to amsterdam work with kids and then it's done for this week okay guys we have just checked
02:53if everything fits in the car but yeah it fits like the seat has to be down but then the
03:02stroller fits
03:03and the baby can sit there and we can sit in front it is small but hey it fits
03:10so now i'm going to get everything in the house again and yeah i also bought some things but i
03:16will
03:16show you that i'm still totally in the baby baby baby vibe but it feels like i have officially my
03:23maternity leave which is not totally true because i'm still going to work like five times with kids
03:29and what i decided for my maternity leave with this channel is to be honest i think i'm going to
03:38vlog
03:38this week and next week for sure and then three extra videos two or three extra videos will come
03:44and then i will see that's actually my whole plan it would be for me i like to bring you
03:53all along
03:53also with the thing fitting in the car like that kind of stuff to just yeah show you how i
04:01prepare
04:02myself for the baby that comes and etc but at the same time i don't want to force myself to
04:07be in
04:08front of the camera make myself nice for the camera or um to edit or whatever so i decided
04:18yeah maybe there will be a vlog maybe there won't be a vlog you will see me at least in
04:24september back
04:26but maybe you see me more often i don't know it depends and don't expect directly a baby when i
04:32don't
04:33put a vlog online for just one week because it could be that i'm just wasn't in the mood
04:39keep an eye on my instagram i would say because i think there will be the first
04:45yeah post if there is a baby crazy i get a little bit scared if i'm thinking about it
04:52but tomorrow i have a baby shower not for myself but from a friend
04:57but i did some groceries and one thing that i bought is here free suiker bro it's like sugary
05:04bread this is really my favorite type of bread and i was graving it the whole time and
05:12according to the ingredients this is vegan not that i didn't eat anything what was not vegan
05:21i mean i ate already a lot not vegan things but this one is vegan then i bought vegan salm
05:30because
05:31tomorrow for the baby shower i'm going to make some wraps with vegan salm i have two boxes of
05:38strawberry those were in the reserve in the in the advertisement advertisement yes advertisement then i have
05:44a cucumber some hummus and paturine this is also for the wrap so i'm going to make one with the

06:13true
06:13i wanted to say this is the only thing i miss in uganda of course i also miss friends and
06:18family but
06:19according to all the dutch things i think this is the shop i miss the most when i'm in uganda
06:24because
06:25it has basically everything and it is also cute good quality and also cuteness like i don't know the
06:34design is very nice and like i said the quality is good i know there is now a chinese store
06:40in kampala but
06:42yeah i don't like the design and the quality is also not the best but what i bought is a
06:50nice
06:51uh box gift box and that's not for nothing because for the baby shower tomorrow i have here a really
06:57nice cute uh swimming suit for the baby she's getting a baby ball boy and a nice cute book
07:07to read and then i bought actually some necessary things for myself uh because my mascara was not
07:14mascaraing anymore i didn't like it anymore uh but then it was one plus one for free yeah then i'm
07:22taking two because i can keep the other one for the next six months and i have done already mascara
07:27i'm really not that type of hoarder but yeah if i'm already buying one mascara then okay i take the
07:34other one for free i also have some face cream with a that's i want to say with a factor
07:42but that is
07:43basically not the english word but it's like sunscreen but then for your face and also with some
07:49healthy ingredients in it so it's not only protecting my face for the sun but also feed my skin
07:58skin just so you know and then last but not least i have some deodorant stick oh it smells nice
08:05i hope it
08:05works i never had it from the hema so i'm going to be very excited or very disappointed but time
08:13will tell
08:13so that were all the things i bought yeah and just we fitted everything in the car and i can
08:21just leave
08:22that aside as well so i'm also very grateful for that on saturday i had the baby shower of my
08:28friend
08:28it was really nice and cozy
08:35the next day started with rain and as a typical dutch day it rained all day long
08:44so i took the time to just relax and do some computer work
08:53okay guys i'm here on my favorite spot the couch with my laptop and yeah this sunday i used to
09:04relax because i needed it i just felt like i worked last week four days in a row
09:12um and although it were half days so maybe you think what are half days i mean i would think
09:18that
09:18as well when i wasn't pregnant but it still took a lot of energy and time for me so i'm
09:24so grateful
09:25that that was my last week doing that and now i can just set a step back relax enjoy create
09:35content when
09:36i want to edit when i want to do whatever i want to i have a whole list that i
09:40want to do during my
09:41maternity leave which officially starts in june but already i'm starting doing some small stuff
09:50i wanted to do in my maternity leave so like for example i'm totally into the photo books nowadays it's
