I haven’t filmed a cooking video in what feels like forever. Most of the videos I’ve been working on and uploading to YouTube have been around recommended eats across New York City over the last couple of months. So today, I finally filmed another video on Instant Pot pho ga or chicken pho. It’s a pretty quick and easy recipe, and I got a lot of requests for a full video on it when I posted my process on Instagram, so I did what you’re supposed to do: give the people what they want!

As we sat down for dinner this evening, Chris commented about how, assuming everything goes well, he may need to start buying me maternity-sized Yvonne meets Food shirts for filming. I didn’t even think about that. I feel like all I’ve been thinking about is how to survive the first trimester without worrying too much and also enjoying the fact that I am pregnant… at least in this moment, since we have no idea what tomorrow will bring.

Filming while visibly pregnant, I thought to myself. Who would have ever thought we’d get this far to actually be able to think about this?
