YouTubers Vlad and Niki’s family is growing!

Speaking with PEOPLE about balancing pregnancy and creating content, Victoria jokes “like any mother will tell you, there is never enough time in the day.”

“We are lucky that the Vlad & Niki content that connects with their audience is when they are participating in creative play and going on adventures, so we get to make our work time ‘fun time,'” she acknowledges.

“That said, as the mom, it’s important to know when everyone needs to have a break, not overschedule the day. We sometimes get lovely invitations, but you must know when it will be too much, and you must decline,” she explains. “During the school year, we need to make sure Vlad and Niki have time to study and not overdo things.”

Victoria says that having a reliable support system makes all the difference. “At home, we are fortunate that we do have help with the kids,” she says. “For our YouTube channels, Sergey and I have assembled an amazing creative team that helps produce, shoot content, edit, build sets and props, finds our locations, and coordinates our shoots. It allows us to have more time in the day.”

“Vlad and Niki both really enjoy being big brothers and are always including their brother Chris in their activities,” she said of her three boys. “Vlad has been helpful getting the nursery ready with his dad.”

Despite her busy schedule, Victoria is happy to be “feeling really good” throughout her pregnancy.

“I try to eat healthily and get a lot of exercise. I was a gymnast so keeping my body healthy is important, so I have been doing a lot of swimming and walking,” she tells PEOPLE.

“I have been trying to have more ‘me’ time to take some power naps and enjoy spending time at the beach. Having three active boys, who are always trying new things, keeps the energy in our household always moving. School is starting at the perfect time for the boys and me.”
