Speaker 1: I keep y'all motivated, and I tell you the truth
Speaker 1: exactly how you need to hear it. Today, I want
Speaker 1: to do something a little bit different. I've never done
Speaker 1: this before, but today I want to talk about UM.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about y'all. I want to answer
Speaker 1: all y'all's questions. Is ask Amada is the ask a
Speaker 1: Mata show? There you go. UM. I had an opportunity
Speaker 1: of telling you guys, I'm posting it also on my
Speaker 1: Instagram and just letting you guys ask whatever question. It
Speaker 1: didn't matter how intimate, how personal how whatever it could
Speaker 1: have been. And I was just like, Okay, go ask
Speaker 1: questions and I will be answering them. And today is
Speaker 1: the day that I'm going to answer them. But I'm
Speaker 1: not going to answer them by myself because I wanted
Speaker 1: to have my team here with me. They are amazing
Speaker 1: and they're part of my team, behind cameras, in front
Speaker 1: of cameras, behind the podcast, and in front of it
Speaker 1: with y'all. Well, with y'all support. Most definitely I have
Speaker 1: here today. Alex and Arlene on the Asked Amata episode,
Speaker 1: how are you guys doing? We're excited we get to
Speaker 1: listen to the fans questions. I know rights everybody, but
Speaker 1: I love it, so I want to get right to
Speaker 1: it because we had a lot of people hit us
Speaker 1: up with questions. Ama. We had so many people chime in.
Speaker 1: A lot of them want to know about the baby,
Speaker 1: but some people they have some they have some questions
Speaker 1: about their love life too. Uh. First stup, we've got
Speaker 1: Layah Nicole, Okay, when are the girls? Do? I know
Speaker 1: that you haven't shared that necessarily and if you don't
Speaker 1: want to because it's too personal, Uh, you can hold
Speaker 1: back if need no, But that's okay. I mean, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you this much. The only reason why I haven't
Speaker 1: said my dude date me. You'll say, like very open
Speaker 1: and transfering me mama as a Latino a woman culturally
Speaker 1: my mom is like no, b they say you can't
Speaker 1: say this and that you know, it's very like the
Speaker 1: midst of like you shouldn't say when. So that's it's,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a cultural thing. That's the only reason
Speaker 1: why I haven't said. So. I'm gonna keep you guys guessing,
Speaker 1: And to be honest, I thought about it. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to post the day of like
Speaker 1: oh my god, my baby is here, or like a
Speaker 1: week or two later, like oh this is when I
Speaker 1: gave birth. You know, I don't know how I should
Speaker 1: do it. I'm still trying to figure it out. That
Speaker 1: was definitely another question. Will you be posting baby pics
Speaker 1: on social media? Or are you keeping those babies all
Speaker 1: to yourself? Funny No, if you know that, I've been
Speaker 1: checking out a Cardi and Cardi B. I admire to
Speaker 1: a certain extent right how private she's been about her
Speaker 1: son and how she's made sure that you know her
Speaker 1: baby isn't like all over the media cultural when I
Speaker 1: think it was the first one, she was really excited
Speaker 1: she decided to do it. But there's a part of
Speaker 1: me that feels like the privacy is important until you
Speaker 1: feel prepared, especially in this industry, because they're going to
Speaker 1: be there to judge and you know, just and this
Speaker 1: is other part of me that feels like, you know,
Speaker 1: this is the happiest moment of my life, this is
Speaker 1: the most important moment of my life. I want to
Speaker 1: share this with the world. So I'm still trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what's the best way and how I should
Speaker 1: go about it, like you know, like old school. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the only reason why I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: if I should it, if I shouldn't. And I will
Speaker 1: most definitely. But the question more is like when will I. Well,
Speaker 1: Lilibeth wants to know if you already have your daughter's
Speaker 1: names picked out and what are they? Here's another question
Speaker 1: you may not want to share. Oh yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: had these names. Let me tell you something. I had
Speaker 1: the name of one of them because I was prepared
Speaker 1: for one not to um since I was like in
Speaker 1: middle school. I've had the same name. I said the
Speaker 1: day that I have my son. The day that I
Speaker 1: have my son, I'm gonna name him Blase Blase. And
Speaker 1: the whole time I thought that I was going to
Speaker 1: have a boy, and then I thought, well, I'll probably
Speaker 1: have a boy and a girl. And then when they
Speaker 1: said they're both girls, I said, what a memoir. Thankfully,
Speaker 1: this name is unisex, so you're gonna have to you're
Speaker 1: gonna take this name. So I already know, already know one.
Speaker 1: And then my m chose the other one. So my
Speaker 1: mom chose the other. The both balls, I guess the
Speaker 1: second baby his name UM, and I picked the middle
Speaker 1: of the middle name for both of them. But there
Speaker 1: was it was complicated because the father for two seconds
Speaker 1: he wanted to be the one to choose the names.
Speaker 1: And then that also brought me to the question of like,
Speaker 1: is it a cultural thing where in certain countries do
Speaker 1: the guys pick the names um and their girls? Do
Speaker 1: the moms picked the him with their boys? Do men
Speaker 1: always picked the names the women always pick the name?
Speaker 1: How does that work? Alex? Did you pick your baby's names?
Speaker 1: So my um, my second child, yes, I picked her
Speaker 1: name and middle name, so yeah and um, and the
Speaker 1: mom was cool. She wasn't tripping or anything. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: she was just like, you know, yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is fine, like this I agree. So was like Myke's
Speaker 1: wife was cool about it. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was because of all the men she was on, but
Speaker 1: she was cool about it at the moment. So when
Speaker 1: the other subbice, so, I gave her her her first
Speaker 1: name in and middle name. Yeah, my husband. We don't
Speaker 1: have kids, but my husband said that if we have
Speaker 1: a girl, he wants to name her Denarest, like Denarest
Speaker 1: Targarian from Game of Thrones. I'm like, that's local. When
Speaker 1: a middle name, I feel like I don't know the
Speaker 1: first especially if it's your first child. You want to
Speaker 1: name your baby yourself, and it's like it's my first
Speaker 1: little but so yeah, I know, I know he's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be so salty when I'm like, the names are nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing like what you wanted. But these are my first
Speaker 1: babies and I just want to be able to feel
Speaker 1: like I'm, you know, really part of them. So yes,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this much how I can say this,
Speaker 1: The names are very exotic. It's extra as hell like
Speaker 1: I am because you already know I'm extras hell and
Speaker 1: when y'all here, you're gonna be like, ah, hell And
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah done. The mom baby. It's another big
Speaker 1: topic the fans wanted to know is about the dad.
Speaker 1: Cuddles wants to know. Will you tell your kids who
Speaker 1: their dad is and is he going to be part
Speaker 1: of their life? Most definitely I'll let him know. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll let the girls know. Yeah, Like, um, you know,
Speaker 1: this is your dad and that's just what it is.
Speaker 1: You know, just because things didn't work out with mom
Speaker 1: and dad, it doesn't mean that we don't love you.
Speaker 1: We love you very very much. And because we love
Speaker 1: you very much, you want to be able to be
Speaker 1: happy and give you all the love you know possible,
Speaker 1: and that's what we decided to, you know, do things
Speaker 1: whatever way it is that it goes down. But I
Speaker 1: think it's important, especially me coming from a fatherless household. Um,
Speaker 1: that's like to me, it's so important, Like I don't
Speaker 1: want to repeat the cycle and not give my girls
Speaker 1: the opportunity of having that father figure. Now I will
Speaker 1: give the opportunity. It definitely is up to the father
Speaker 1: to take advantage of the opportunity because there's only so
Speaker 1: much as a mother. There's only so much as a
Speaker 1: woman that you can do. You know, no matter what
Speaker 1: you do, it's it's it's a partnership thing. You know.
Speaker 1: Everybody has to play their part, so I wouldn't hide
Speaker 1: them from them, you know. Now, will they have a stepfather?
Speaker 1: Most definitely eventually. You know, I'm guessing that we'll have
Speaker 1: to do. I'm not by myself forever. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do I'm not gonna be that girl. Okay, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I can't be over here to get depressed,
Speaker 1: finding apart and everybody, everybody is over there, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, busting it down. No, I'm gonna live
Speaker 1: my life. I'm in and eventually find a good stepfather
Speaker 1: that can represent, and then my girls will know the difference.
Speaker 1: Blase his dad, Blase is a father, you know whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good. I mean, you know, uh, you're doing your part.
Speaker 1: He has to do his at some point, he's going
Speaker 1: to have to pull his weight. Another fan question is
Speaker 1: what advice would you give to a twenty six year
Speaker 1: old girl I'm married as well, with no kids. Well
Speaker 1: to each his own, getting married I think is fine,
Speaker 1: But I would say UM, don't have children to your thirties. Personally,
Speaker 1: don't have children to your thirties. So enjoy those couple
Speaker 1: of years that you have. I left, UM, travel, live, go, party,
Speaker 1: have you know, UM explore and the most important part UM,
Speaker 1: which I'm I kind of learned that in my late twenties, UM,
Speaker 1: become financially educated. You know, and as long as you
Speaker 1: still feel strong and you still have the energy to
Speaker 1: do it, this is the time to put in the work.
Speaker 1: I know that everybody wants the party while you're young,
Speaker 1: but I almost feel like I wish the society would
Speaker 1: teach us to do it reverse. When you're young, work
Speaker 1: your ass off like a beast, three or four jobs,
Speaker 1: everything that you can think of while you're young, so
Speaker 1: that later on you can enjoy. Yeah, when your body
Speaker 1: is a little bit tired, Yeah, you're more mature. You know,
Speaker 1: when you get to that page, we're being home, UM
Speaker 1: is more fun than going out. Once you get into
Speaker 1: that place, now you can enjoy your money. You can
Speaker 1: enjoy your husband, you can enjoy your children, you can
Speaker 1: enjoy what really matters in life. So I would say,
Speaker 1: you know, save up your money, invest your money, become
Speaker 1: financially educated, find several sources of income, worker ass off.
Speaker 1: While you're young, enjoy your husband, travel, travel and and
Speaker 1: go on vacations and cruises, have all all types of
Speaker 1: freaky stuff because later on with them kids come. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that you won't be able to do it,
Speaker 1: but okay, it's gonna get You're gonna have to be
Speaker 1: on mute. It's funny that you say that about vacations
Speaker 1: because Freddie Prince said something before that when before you
Speaker 1: got married and had kids, or while you were married
Speaker 1: without kids, it was vacations. You would go out, explore,
Speaker 1: have a great time. Now that you go out and
Speaker 1: or you go away with kids, it's trips. Their trips
Speaker 1: and you're hoping you survive. Yeah, they're trips. I don't
Speaker 1: even have my girls yet, but I can't imagine that. Obviously,
Speaker 1: life is going to be different. You think about them
Speaker 1: before you think about yourself. Are they going to be
Speaker 1: comfortable or will they accept them in certain spaces? Um?
Speaker 1: Are they to be in the best behavior? So more
Speaker 1: Jack Golsa, you're when you want to have fun and
Speaker 1: be free, you're concerned about don't over there? Where are you?
Speaker 1: And they're so and only that it's not just about
Speaker 1: their behavior. You also have to be concerned about the
Speaker 1: people that surround them. Well, speaking of traveling, do you
Speaker 1: have plans on raising your kids here in the US
Speaker 1: or in the d R No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no, no, no no. I'm having what was
Speaker 1: that little song? Oh you'll know that song? Girl? Well
Speaker 1: I can't I can't sing it, but I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1: I'm having my kids here in the United States of
Speaker 1: America and no, I definitely want to be able to
Speaker 1: show my kids both sides. So Sam getting through then
Speaker 1: that's dominic. I want my children to most definitely, Um,
Speaker 1: you know a blur pakutel that you better not okay
Speaker 1: before I booked that ask you're gonna learn to speak Spanish?
Speaker 1: But because I was born here in this country as well,
Speaker 1: But um, I learned. My mom forced me to learn,
Speaker 1: and I'm so grateful because it offered me so many
Speaker 1: more opportunities. So I definitely would like to have my
Speaker 1: children go to a Dominican republic and spend time there
Speaker 1: and get to know your culture. Um races right. Um.
Speaker 1: Obviously they're going to be studying here in the United
Speaker 1: States as well. And the one thing I would love
Speaker 1: to be able to do for my children and my
Speaker 1: mother wasn't able to do for me, is to also
Speaker 1: take them out to Europe and take them out to
Speaker 1: Tripps and give them the opportunity to explore and open
Speaker 1: their mind and see other things. Unfortunately, you know our parents,
Speaker 1: uh if you come from an immigrant parents, they did
Speaker 1: the best that they could with what they had. But
Speaker 1: I would love to be able to show them because
Speaker 1: obviously the more you show a child, the more their
Speaker 1: mind expands, and the more opportunities and and um creactivity
Speaker 1: and many of the things come about. So I want
Speaker 1: to be able to do that for them. Are you
Speaker 1: gonna want them to be in show business? Someone? They
Speaker 1: don't gonna be. You're gonna be showing them around the world.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be seeing you work and you are I mean,
Speaker 1: you're an entrepreneur, you are in demand. Yeah. They don't
Speaker 1: have much of an option, so they will be. Um.
Speaker 1: I I think that in the beginning, I already have
Speaker 1: a talent agency for my baby is already and they're
Speaker 1: not even born yet. So like whenever you need a
Speaker 1: baby for like an ad a movie, I got two
Speaker 1: of them pick one. Um, I want to be able
Speaker 1: to create you know, their savings account will they already
Speaker 1: have the little money, and I won't force them like
Speaker 1: you have to be a singer, you have to be. No,
Speaker 1: But I am going to bring you into the industry
Speaker 1: if I see that you're talented, because some kids you
Speaker 1: can bring them and they don't like it. So I
Speaker 1: am bouncing side and wells in side, like you just
Speaker 1: don't got it. If you don't got it, which I
Speaker 1: doubt it because your mother is fabulous, Okay, then you're
Speaker 1: not doing it. But if I see a little potential,
Speaker 1: a little sassy and you're good for this, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put you in there. There's also there's also a flip
Speaker 1: side to that. You gotta be careful too. They could
Speaker 1: rebel against you for wanting to what you're wanting them
Speaker 1: to go there, and then that's that, you know, World
Speaker 1: War No. But you know what I think, My mom
Speaker 1: always says that your children will become what you want
Speaker 1: them to be. And in the aspect of you lead them,
Speaker 1: you guide them, right, you guide them to become those things. Uh, Serena,
Speaker 1: Serena Williams, Okay, yes, you you're you want to you
Speaker 1: show that you were talented it. But they gave you
Speaker 1: an opportunity to play with that ball on that rack.
Speaker 1: And yes, you have to have discipline if you like it.
Speaker 1: You have to force them to learn how to be
Speaker 1: disciplined in a certain areas so they can be successful.
Speaker 1: The same thing happens if you play basketball. Yes, I'll
Speaker 1: give you the opportunity of playing with the ball you
Speaker 1: like it, I'm going to force you into learning how
Speaker 1: to be disciplined so that you can become the best
Speaker 1: at this. So if you just leave your kids so
Speaker 1: just let them do whatever they want, you're never gonna
Speaker 1: get the result that you want. I'll let you choose.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you many opportunities. Play piano, play la
Speaker 1: fla violin, jump around, pay with doctors, think whatever. I
Speaker 1: see that it catches your attention, and you show me
Speaker 1: that you're good at it, and this is what you
Speaker 1: want to do. I am going to do my best
Speaker 1: to force you into being disciplined and becoming the best
Speaker 1: at that. That's pretty cool. Well, if they're gonna be
Speaker 1: anything like their mama, they're gonna be us. Um, we
Speaker 1: did get some, we did get some career questions. Who
Speaker 1: is Bonita wants to know. I'm scared to put myself
Speaker 1: out there as an artist. I need advice. How is
Speaker 1: it like for you? You're scared to to do she
Speaker 1: wants to put herself out there as an artist. If
Speaker 1: you're scared, yeah, right, there already lost. So change plans.
Speaker 1: Look for something else that you're not scared, because in
Speaker 1: this life, if you feel anything in life is scary,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what it is. Everything in life is scary.
Speaker 1: Going to war is scary. But if you wanted to
Speaker 1: do it, okay, well here here you are. You know,
Speaker 1: doing nails is scary. You might cut somebody's finger. Doing
Speaker 1: everything in life is scary. This world is not meant
Speaker 1: for scary people. It's just not you know what, screw it.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead and do it. And even
Speaker 1: if I messed it up, guess what, I had the
Speaker 1: guts to do it. At least I did it. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's better to regret having done
Speaker 1: than regret not not doing. So you can't be scared.
Speaker 1: What's the worst that can happen? They say, oh, your
Speaker 1: music sucks, so what that was one person out of
Speaker 1: seven billion human beings on this planet. Oh well, you
Speaker 1: keep pushing, you keep trying, you keep perfecting your craft.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. And sometimes I'll tell you this much.
Speaker 1: In the entertainment industry, a lot of times, it's especially now,
Speaker 1: is not about your talent. It's not about how talented
Speaker 1: you are. It's about your work ethic. It's about how
Speaker 1: hard are you willing to work in comparison to others.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that are extremely talented, but
Speaker 1: because fim tanto of their talent, they don't put in
Speaker 1: as much work as a person that has less talent,
Speaker 1: who's out here hustling and in people's faces all the time. So,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of jealousy too out there, a
Speaker 1: lot of unwanted jealousy. Instead of celebrating each other as
Speaker 1: humans who are who are striving, there's a lot of jealousy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's always gonna happen. Because I wish that we
Speaker 1: live in the world where people support each other and
Speaker 1: they weren't jealous. But that's just not how it works.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of envious people that are waiting
Speaker 1: for you to fail and just to laugh and be
Speaker 1: happy and have joy. Off that. So whatever you do,
Speaker 1: you can't be scared slat up in people's d m s.
Speaker 1: Keep doing music, UM, and the question shall always be
Speaker 1: how bad do you want it? Because if you want
Speaker 1: it bad enough, you're gonna figure out a way to
Speaker 1: make it happen. I like that. I'm out. I got
Speaker 1: a big one here. Now we all know your situation
Speaker 1: with your kid's father. Yeah, let's move it back one generation.
Speaker 1: Your dad. We've obviously seen him on the show before,
Speaker 1: right on your show on TV. Um, is your dad
Speaker 1: going to be part of your children's life? Alito is
Speaker 1: not going to be around at all. You don't even
Speaker 1: want that title for him? I mean, what's going on there?
Speaker 1: He can have the title. I don't have a problem
Speaker 1: you're having the title, but I just you know, like
Speaker 1: you can like he can see them because he got
Speaker 1: ass like look at them. But do I want you
Speaker 1: to be all of my baby's face now as zone?
Speaker 1: Only because I've realized that I I gave you the
Speaker 1: opportunity of fixing you know, first of all, you can't
Speaker 1: fix it, but I gave you an opportunity of giving
Speaker 1: me some type of closure of of you know, putting
Speaker 1: a band aid over our past situations and moving forward,
Speaker 1: and you haven't taken it vantage from You haven't taken
Speaker 1: advantage of it properly, you know, if you haven't been
Speaker 1: able to shown me that. And I am literally your
Speaker 1: child and I you know, unfortunately we even like resemble
Speaker 1: each other. You don't have that connection. I don't expect
Speaker 1: it to have it with my children now. When I
Speaker 1: had my gender reveal, I was told that he was
Speaker 1: crying on the low, like he was wiping off his
Speaker 1: tears and stuff, and he didn't let me see it.
Speaker 1: He's very prideful. But they told me, oh my god,
Speaker 1: your dad was crying when they announced, you know, the
Speaker 1: sex of the babies. And they told me, well, there's
Speaker 1: a possibility that you know, he's regretting that he wasn't
Speaker 1: there for you, and he might be trying to fix
Speaker 1: it with the girls. If I were to see that,
Speaker 1: like you weren't a good father, but you're an amazing
Speaker 1: grandfather your family, I would be like, okay, when at
Speaker 1: least it's a totally different feeling. I think that there's
Speaker 1: there's a sort of a self redemption that goes on
Speaker 1: in someone's mind. I've seen this a lot in families
Speaker 1: where daughters father, Yeah, nobody, nobody gets along. But when
Speaker 1: those smaller kids come around, you know, you have you
Speaker 1: have something incredible going on there. Yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: that's what it will probably be. But I'll give him
Speaker 1: a chance. I'm very flexible. I like to give people
Speaker 1: chances in life. So that's great. I'm gonna ask you
Speaker 1: another question here. How did you feel when you when
Speaker 1: you found out that you were having more than one kid? Like,
Speaker 1: did your mind blow up? This came from uh, it's
Speaker 1: dot salth su and I messed that all up. But
Speaker 1: you know, so yeah, they they they want to know, like,
Speaker 1: how was your thought process in this? It's one thing
Speaker 1: like yeah, I'm pregnant, you were having multiple kids? Here?
Speaker 1: You know that it took me a long time to
Speaker 1: understand and realize that I was pregnant in the first place.
Speaker 1: And then nonetheless that because you also have tonderstand I
Speaker 1: come from having a miscarriage and in my mind going
Speaker 1: through that process of oh my god, I lost a
Speaker 1: baby this and that, you know, unexpectedly, but I lost
Speaker 1: a baby. Um that trauma to them being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you lost one baby of the three, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: of the three. What, Oh, there's still two more in there.
Speaker 1: You know. Just going through that process alone was a lot.
Speaker 1: And it took me a lot a long time to
Speaker 1: even understand that I was pregnant because I wasn't even showing.
Speaker 1: I just really started showing not too long ago, and
Speaker 1: I'm about to pop, so um. So it was a lot.
Speaker 1: Was that like a mata when they told you that
Speaker 1: you had lost one of your one of the three babies?
Speaker 1: I was, I was, you know what at the moment,
Speaker 1: it was just because I felt like I was having
Speaker 1: like a long period and I was cramping and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So I didn't even realize that I just
Speaker 1: feel like something is off, but whatever, I think it
Speaker 1: was knowing afterwards that I was with child and I
Speaker 1: lost it, that was the you know, I was about
Speaker 1: to be a mom. It was hurtful, you know, and
Speaker 1: you love that you love that baby almost like if
Speaker 1: it was already in there, like just the thought of
Speaker 1: I had life in me. And it was very hard
Speaker 1: and I cried a lot, and I kept saying why me?
Speaker 1: And I was just upset. And then I moved the
Speaker 1: white me into God, like what are you trying to
Speaker 1: tell me? What? Because in every experience, there's a lesson.
Speaker 1: So what do you want me to do? What's the sign?
Speaker 1: Like you do things for a reason, you do things
Speaker 1: for a purpose. What was the purpose of this? What
Speaker 1: am I supposed to learn? And sometings? Is to help
Speaker 1: you grow mature? It could be for many reasons. So
Speaker 1: that's what it was. And then God was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: when I'm blessing you with two girls, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to handle it on your own, and I
Speaker 1: am gonna in my mind, I feel like He's going
Speaker 1: to provide all the things that I need, all the
Speaker 1: sources that I need to be able to be the
Speaker 1: best mother I can be for two people. So it's hard, Bettle,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's gonna make me even a
Speaker 1: better person, a better mother, a better entrepreneur, or a
Speaker 1: better many things. Speaking of those two little people in
Speaker 1: your belly, I am Sandy Vice wants to know do
Speaker 1: you have any morning sickness? And what are the babies craving?
Speaker 1: At the moment? Everything I am eating everything in sight.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've gained so much weight. I'm getting
Speaker 1: twenty seven pounds already. Ah, bettle most of it, they say,
Speaker 1: it's just the baby on the tummy. But my fast
Speaker 1: is getting thick, my booty is getting real juicy, and
Speaker 1: my face, my cheeks is getting around and I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's all right, it's it's pregnancy weight man. Like you know,
Speaker 1: you're you gotta remember your eating for three that's including yourself.
Speaker 1: So a point when your breastfeed. When your breastfeed, they
Speaker 1: get it helps you, yea to lose the weight or whatever.
Speaker 1: But no morning, no morning sickness is anymore. That was
Speaker 1: like the first trimester. Um, now it's just my back
Speaker 1: really hurts. My back hurts so much. It's hard to
Speaker 1: lay down, it's hard to sit. I'm wobbling now. That
Speaker 1: that pregnancy walk where you walk side a side like
Speaker 1: this like a penguin. Okay, that's what I'm starting to
Speaker 1: do now. Um, I'm really tired. I'm really exhausted. Because
Speaker 1: if being pregnant with one is tiring, imagine doing two brains,
Speaker 1: you know, four arms, four legs all day. The girls
Speaker 1: are much stronger now, so they're kicking and they're doing
Speaker 1: this thing. It's really weird, but they do this thing
Speaker 1: now where you know how the head stretches out the
Speaker 1: skin and it looks like from one side to the other,
Speaker 1: they're both doing that at the same time, so it
Speaker 1: looks like I have aliens in my stomach. They're just
Speaker 1: like stretched the drop in your inside. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: love just watching it happen because it's so weird. But
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying. I'm enjoying the process. I'm enjoying it, you know,
Speaker 1: recording a lot of videos so I can have the
Speaker 1: memories and taking a lot of pictures and not have
Speaker 1: to go, you know, baby shopping stuff, trying to learn
Speaker 1: how to do this. I want to go now to
Speaker 1: take classes how to breastfeed, labor work, and all these
Speaker 1: other things. It's a lot of The great thing is
Speaker 1: that you'll you'll have a midwife to be able to
Speaker 1: help you. They'll send them to your house too if need.
Speaker 1: Especially with COVID, it's been a lot easier for you
Speaker 1: to be able to get someone to come to your house.
Speaker 1: I have to do C section. The C section from
Speaker 1: what I heard, is like thirty five grand and even
Speaker 1: if you have insurance, you still have to copey cobago.
Speaker 1: You still have to pay. And it's a little bit
Speaker 1: more when you have to because even when they have
Speaker 1: to put them in incubators and all these other things
Speaker 1: mama has to push through. So you know, it sounds like, oh, babies,
Speaker 1: they are beautiful. Babies are beautiful, but especially in this country,
Speaker 1: it's very much it's an investment. Is an investment? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it really is. So the last question is coming from
Speaker 1: me before we wrap up out of here. I'm a
Speaker 1: big believer in in, like you just said, education, learning
Speaker 1: the Spanish, learning everything right, all the different languages. I've
Speaker 1: been very guilty of not sticking to the Spanish heart
Speaker 1: and costing my my daughters the fact that they can
Speaker 1: understand it, but they're not speaking in fluently. For you, Um,
Speaker 1: when do you think that you'll be throwing them right
Speaker 1: into the into the firing into school. I sent my
Speaker 1: youngest one to school, um, at seven months old. They
Speaker 1: were already they were already in in school that were
Speaker 1: you know, there's not a lot going there, but they're
Speaker 1: absorbing everything and she is like super smart, language skills everything.
Speaker 1: What what do you what are you thinking? Are you
Speaker 1: thinking more or less keeping them home with mommy and
Speaker 1: you are you thinking, you know, education wise? I want
Speaker 1: to put them directly into something. The thing is that
Speaker 1: now things also have changed with COVID. You know, before
Speaker 1: I feel like people felt more comfortable to take them
Speaker 1: to school early, and now it's like a lot of
Speaker 1: teachers are not even working anymore. Everything is done online,
Speaker 1: and I like, I personally like the one on one
Speaker 1: physical connection. I want you to ask questions, put your
Speaker 1: hand up like. I want you to feel comfortable in
Speaker 1: that space. It's not the same when you're on a
Speaker 1: computer all day. I think it also makes you like antisocial.
Speaker 1: It messages up your social skills. It's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things you have to look into. But I would
Speaker 1: love for my kids at an early age to start
Speaker 1: taking classes most definitely also languages, not just Spanish and English.
Speaker 1: But I know that while they're younger is the best
Speaker 1: time to teach them as many languages as possible and
Speaker 1: go through that process. So, um, you just wanted at
Speaker 1: two years old already's new sign language. It look at
Speaker 1: the legal Everything for kids is what you expose them
Speaker 1: to their sponge, just expose them to a lot of
Speaker 1: different things. I want them to go to school early.
Speaker 1: I just pray that. You know now with COVID, oh
Speaker 1: it's such a mission. Yeah, we want to catch a break.
Speaker 1: Definitely want to do there. Yeah, yeah, I think that
Speaker 1: everybody's over it and I'm over it too, so um
Speaker 1: so yeah, let's see, let's see what happens. Last one.
Speaker 1: I know you talked about that C section, but was
Speaker 1: that an option for you having a natural birth? So
Speaker 1: having a natural birth at this moment is not even
Speaker 1: an option because my babies are breached, meaning like the
Speaker 1: heads are up and the leg and the booty and
Speaker 1: the legs are down. So that's not an option at
Speaker 1: this moment. Maybe later on they will flip, which I
Speaker 1: truly doubt. Bato um. I would have loved to be
Speaker 1: able to push. But then at the same time, I've
Speaker 1: heard and we'll get you know, you go back the same.
Speaker 1: I don't want to experiment. They're like going as a
Speaker 1: muscle a lot. I don't want to I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it, and don't say it rips and don't
Speaker 1: say one can come out now, and the other one
Speaker 1: can be like, oh no, I'm not ready to come
Speaker 1: out yet, and be stuck there for an hour and
Speaker 1: you have to like double push me that slice me
Speaker 1: up and get them out, okay, And we're gonna protect
Speaker 1: the toto because you know what I'm saying, that's a moneymaker.
Speaker 1: We're gonna protect it, so we're not gonna do it.
Speaker 1: But with that big said, by the way, guys, I
Speaker 1: love when we do these shows. I love when you
