Kayli, one week out from major abdominal surgery, post partum, pumping, running up and down to the hospital, being Mom to your other children, sorting out Easter nails 😂 … you totally rock! I’m sure you are mentally & physically exhausted yet you look so so good! Hair done, make up on and dressed. Most would not be at that stage one week post partum never mind driving yourself to hospital. You are MoM of the USA never mind Utah. I’m blown away by your strength and above all your graciousness and positivity. No wonder you had a cry - you flipping deserve one. I wish you could see you through us - the viewers eyes - you would realise how we are all watching with our mouths open in awe ❤❤❤

so sweet when Casey was singing to Finn. that brought tears to my eyes. what a great dad he is. your both great parents to all your children and they know that they are loved each and every day.

The fact that you’re getting around so easily, and driving, this soon after your c-section, blows my mind. Praying your sweet, beautiful, boy is fully healed and home with all of you soon.❤️

Kayli, I know I've said you're the sweetest mom but now I have to say the same thing about Casey. When it comes to being a dad Casey is a natural. Baby Finn is just the cutest little peanut. He's so adorable!!

I have always thought Casey was a great husband and father, but this video takes it to the next level! My heart could feel his mad unconditional love for you, Finn and really his whole family who we didn’t even see much of! You two are the best!

Kayli... Things will be back to normal soon for your dear family. You are a Supermom! ❣️❣️

Awwww Finn is looking stronger each day, I know it is hard on the family but he is where is needs to be, for now!!! Praying that it is only going to be another day or two!!! Love you all!!! Prayers sent❤❤❤

I just cried so hard for like 5 minutes to my boyfriend during this. I've been watching you & your family for at least 12 years. I grew up with your family's kids, i'll be 23. When I was 2 days old I had a double surgery on my esophagus & was on a feeding tube for 3 weeks. I broke down seeing baby Finn with one. How can a precious baby that tiny be fighting so hard? He's crushing it & he will get there SO soon, keep good faith! I love you guys, Finn is so blessed to have you two as his parents. XO

I cannot imagine going through a situation like this. I cannot imagine the pain parents feel when their baby is in the nicu for months at a time. One week seems to feel like an eternity! I’m sending so much positive, healing vibes to dear little Finn! May God Bless your family!

Oh Kayli, Finn is so sweet! You and Casey seem to be doing amazing under the circumstances. You are definitely allowed to break down! I am glad you are giving yourself some grace because who wouldn't have have a break down every now & then! Thank you for sharing your story, I am sure it is not easy to do. Love to your family!

Ugh I just want to hug him..he's just a little cutie! Thank you for the update...so glad to see him improving and wanna get home...hugs and prayers to you all❤❤

Finn is so precious!! Can't wait to see the vlogs of when he comes home and all the kids hold him.

Oh my goodness I absolutely love his little face/eyes /nose etc .. absolutely adorable 🥰

This is exactly what my baby was in the nicu for ❤ It really does just click one day and it is SO disheartening while you’re going through it. He will figure it out and he will be home so soon. Praying for you guys!

It’s a hiccup in the process but he will be safe at home soon. He’s sooo precious I can’t even.

Aw sweet mama! Been thinking about y’all so so so much. Finn is absolute perfection. He is so blessed to have you as his mama. ❤

Finn is so cute and Casey is such a great Daddy ❤️ Kayli , Finn will get stronger everyday and he is in the best place and they will not steer you wrong. Love Y’all so much 💗❤️

You are recovering from major surgery, no wonder you are in tears. 😢

Such a sweet little boy and he's doing so well ☺ I can't wait to see "The Homecoming" video 🤗

Your resilience is unmatched Kayli! You guys are both are such loving parents, I can see your partnership and I can tell how solid it is ❤

Oh Kayli ! I remember those days of wanting baby to eat. Our daughter went through it and you’re right. It just clicks one day. Sending you all love!

Good job Kaylie!! You guys are handling this amazingly ❤ it will just click keep the faith!

How lucky are we? In olden times, every single baby in nicu wouldn't have even made it. Now we don't even worry about that we just get sad we don't get them home yet

You two are just so sweet. Your are wonderful parents. Finn is beautiful. I remember those days well. It is so hard. Blessings and prayers get you through. Love and prayers 💚💛💜🧡🩵🩷

Praying fir you all! Finn will be home with you all soon! 😇🎈🎉happy 1 week birthday Finn

Kaylie, when I had my daughter 28 years ago the nurses had me unwrap her so she would be cold and stay awake to feed. It works! It went against all my motherly instincts to keep her warm and cozy. Un wrapping her worked. She would eat and then I could wrap her back up in her blanket so she could sleep. Try this and see if it helps. It worked for me. Think about it, if you are wrapped warmly and feeling cozy would you like to be woken up to eat? I think that Finn having jaundice is what is making him so tired, maybe have more lamp time? My love and prayers to you all. XXXX

OMG THAT FIRST BATH picture is precious.

Did they check if he has a lip or tongue tie? That’s why my baby kept falling asleep she was working extra hard for milk, then she would get too tired and fall asleep.

Such a beautiful baby, May God Bless Finn and the Butler Family

“This too shall pass”💙 So many memories of when my twins were born nearly 13 years ago. The night of their birth I was exhausted after my c-section & alone with one of them in my arms, the other in their crib. The room had been rearranged to fit their two cribs in and that meant I couldn’t reach the nurses call button. I was so worried I’d fall asleep and drop the baby so I managed to bring them over me to my arm that was beside the wall so they couldn’t fall to the floor. At some point a Dr came in to say she was taking my 8lb 5 oz son to the NICU because his bilirubin was too high. She had a look at my 5lb 10oz daughter and decided that as her bilirubin was borderline yet she was just as jaundiced looking as her brother that they’d take her to the NICU too. The next morning, struggling to walk, my spine kept “zapping” where my spinal had been done, I dragged myself to the NICU. 11 days of on & off light therapy, nasal feeds, me pumping, trying to breast feed, being told I was being discharged without my twins then being given an on call room to stay in as I refused to leave only for my son to save the day by being discharged from the NICU to the ward so I then got a bed there too again and the countless, what felt like thousands of blood tests, drs and nurses brutally squeezing their tiny heels to get blood was torturous from my babies & I. Honestly the best and very worst days! Hoping that Finn gets home soon xx

Congratulations Kali you make great videos ❤

What a little cutie! Best of luck to you all.

Congratulations to you and your family ❤

What a precious little boy! Hopefully he will be home soon!!

he is precious 🥹♥️

Crying is really good for you to release all your stress. I don’t understand why he still is there! He needs to be home, poor baby, still praying he gets to go home soon 😍🙏🏻

Finn is Casey's lil mini me ...his lil face looks so much like his dad's already. 💙

I’m hoping Finn is so much better because isn’t it it day 14 or 15. I thought Finn was born on leap year Feb 29th ? So I’m hoping he is home by now and eating the required amount ❤

He’s so adorable ❤

He is so perfect!

Kayli I had the same experience in the nicu- it was excruciating and slow process waiting for him to eat his full feeds as I had to clear a day of full feeds. I got extreme anxiety about it. However he made it it just took a week or two longer and I would never wish that experience on anyone. He will get there. It’s a marathon not a sprint. (also I MAY have spilled a ml or two of milk during the 24 hours of feeds) 😮😅

In Australia we’re not aloud to drive for 14 days post C-Section. Are you able to drive in America after abdominal surgery? Your looking amazing, be safe and soak up those newborn cuddles.

Baby Finn is so cute! Reminds me of Nemo and his lucky Finn💛

He so adorable!!!🥰

Praying for little Finn to get stronger so he can go home with his beautiful family!! 🙏🏼 in Jesus name, amen. Love you guys and the whole Butler fam!!!

Baby Finn is so cute ❤

Ah bless him hopefully he goes home soon ❤

My brother learned in the snow and my mom was grateful for it

So adorable ❤

good tgif vid hes a trooper and will fight through this causing trouble in the house with rosey befor you know it

Awww sweet boy ❤

Finn is such a handsome little boy

Layla is soooo grown up ❤

That little face. So cute!!!

My experience with my son was sooo similar !! He was there for 3 long weeks

He is soooo cute!!!

Such a sweet baby. ❤😍😘🙏

How is he hungry and motivated to eat if he is being fed with the tube? Sorry if that’s a dumb question. He’s so precious and i just love his blonde hair!

His little face ahhh 😍🥰😍🥰

I can't imagine needing to leave him, thats so unnatural! I wish this period is something you look back with as gratefulness of the health system one day! Witch I bet you already do, but I bet there is also much sadness in not being able to spend every minute with him yet!

Yes#1

He looks so much like Winston did!

next video title WELCOME HOME FINN

Baby boy is the cutest🥹💙

Oh my gosh, you look like Braille with your hair up. My first baby was jaundiced as well, and under the lights. She would sooner sleep than eat as well. They said it was because of the jaundice. It was some rough getting her to wake up and eat. The Dr. told me I had to force her to wake up. I had to strip her off, and wash her feet with a cool facecloth. I had to make her too uncomfortable to sleep. It was horrible.

That little cute guy will be home in a jiffy❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹he looks great and I am exited that he is doing great!💖💖❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹

sweet

whoa.... in my country you're not even allowed to drive so soon after a C-section....

❤❤❤

He’s so adorable! Such a strong little boy and family all of you are! Sending so many prayers and support! Much love! ❤

Sorry he isn't home right now, but hopefully, you will get answer into why he gets so tired and doesn't want to eat.

You are seriously super mum! How are you driving after having a C-Section 😅

NICU time is SO hard. Be gentle with yourself. Baby boys take their time getting out of NICU. They are just a bit slower for the milestones.

Wait Kayli, driving isn't recommended for 6weeks after a C/S!!

My youngest was born at 35 weeks and was in the NICU for 2 wks cause he wouldn't eat

❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️

What is his full 1st & middle name?

It looks like he still needed some hep breathing so when I see tgings they make sense but he needs less oxygen to hep him The feedings with 8008s makes it more comfortable for him because hes got mommy and that bond extreme important to a baby

Crying is good for releasing endorphins.

Can you stay in the hospital most of the day so you don’t have drive back and forth and after your C-section? Maybe the meme bees of the church can help out? I know you want to do everything but sometimes it’s good to ask for help so you can stay in the hospital 💙 you need to much rest😔 your body needs it.

I am happy hes doing better I suggest because of everything finn went through to avoid the bottle feeding because he probably needs mommy more and with a bottle it becomes harder for babys to communicate and why my mom used one for me because when I wasnt hungry and cried she just fed me anyways when using her 8008 I was able to bite her and let her know I didnt want food with a bottle impossible for me to communicate anything My grandmother told me a few things and neither made logical sense for a baby 1 when my mom breadth fed me I bit her babys dont bite their moms unless trying to communicate something 2 I never like playing with toys as a baby thats impossible my mom just never let me play with toys and why I bit her (I put things together with some hep from others)

Hello thanks for All amazing awesome vlogs could I please say all your sons best amazing awesome big brothers ever and all your daughters best amazing awesome big sisters ever and all your sons best amazing awesome little brothers ever and all your daughters best amazing awesome little sisters ever could I please be all your sons best friend ever and all your daughters best friend ever and all your family best friend ever

You are not supposed to be driving girl I’ve had C-sections, and at least two weeks you’re not supposed to be driving and more like a month.

Can your husband take down time off you he can stay home and do all driving around with the kids so you can just stay at the hospital or rest at home? I think if he understood a C-section he wouldn’t just be like go here and there do all the things. I’m sorry I just really care about you but you had a huge surgery your hormones are all over the place your recovering and should not be driving and managing all the things. He really should get help from family and friends to take some off your shoulders please please we really care about you this is too much. You need peace and rest

Disclaimer: I haven’t watched the whole video yet. Why aren’t they saying his name? Does anyone else think that’s weird?

Kayli, please don’t exploit your 😢child being in the NICU, you never know once he grows up if he would want to keep it private and not put this up for 600k people to see him in this situation. I know that some people go through tough situations, but why make it public….. just something for you to think about it. 😊

That he needs 0 support to breath thing that being the case him staying there makes 0 sense and why I question stuff He either needs support to breath or perfectly fine to go home He needs his mommy more then anything so thus is when I question about things not adding up

Hes probably not eating because his mommy isnt always there and exhausted because hes trying to figure things out and choosing to sleep over eat because he wants mommy Its common when a baby doesn't have mom around for it to eat less out of sadness (in some cases though its the opposite and baby eats because of sadness) i think nor eating happens more Hes probably happier when you are around

You don't have to exploit your newborn. Focus on recovery with your baby in peace, this was so violating to watch 😢 I used to really respect you as a mom but you're just a run of the mill vlogger.

that picture of him after getting a bath 🥹 i just cant get over how precious your little finn is 🤍

❤❤❤
