Finally THE true 5-minute everyday makeup tutorial on youtube :D Congrats on Olive!! She's so lovely! 💖

It broke my heart to see you in so much pain with the breast feeding. So glad that it is getting better for you. A friend of mine never was able to work out the breast feeding and used the bottle only. This is something that never seems to be talked about. Thanks for sharing the real stuff.

I appreciate how real this video was. You are absolutely right when you said birth was the "easy" part. Those first few months are so hard but that's why God made us women so tough! You've got this mama!!!

Bless all new Mothers! It truly is a rollercoaster ride but Olive is lucky to have such great parents. You will all survive these first days, weeks, months!!

Thank you for being so honest and raw with your audience. It was beautiful to watch.

Olive is just too beautiful and precious !! You don’t have to put any makeup at all when your baby is 5 days old. Really. You’re just pretty as you are as a new mom. I’ve been there and done that. Enjoy your new baby. You’ll miss this moment pretty soon 💕

Your baby is SO ADORABLE 👼🏻, lots of blessings for you and your beautiful family. And thank you for showing such intimate moments. I don’t have any children but I bet this can be very relatable and make lots of mothers feel they’re not alone 🤗🙋🏻‍♀️💪🏼. Hugs from AB Canada 😁

I love how open you are about breastfeeding and the ups and downs that come along with it. Baby olive is adorable and has two great parents!

Normally I wouldn't comment on any video I watch BUT let me tell you: you look absolutely stunning! You glow from within and do such an amazing job. Lots of love for the three of you!

I just wanna say thank you for being so real! I don’t have kids myself (yet), so I really appreciate all the realness you have been showing us with your vlogs and videos. And how precious is Olive??????? Cutest thing ever! Love to you and your family 😘

She’s so precious! Congratulations! Please keep these videos coming. We love to see some of the moments with your new sweet little one.

She is precious. Love her name, she is sweet little Olive. Congratulations to you, Paddy & family. From an old mum to a young one, whenever you can take sneak in a nap, just do it. The housework can wait, believe me. Enjoy every minute with your new babe. 💕

Oh my poor elana😞 i wish u all the best! It s so strong and brave to show this part of having a baby! Thank u for sharing! Because now we are kind of prepared 😅 i was freakin out when i saw that u put up a new vlog! I love them so much! She is so gorgeous! Sugar! Pure sugar! The sounds she makes ahhhh soo adorable

I agree 110% breastfeeding is by far the most challenging but also rewarding experience . It helped me bond with my baby and get back in shape quicker! You are such a beautiful mother inside and out.

Congratulations!!! Baby Olive is just precious! 💗🌷Love all your videos ☺️

This vlog made me tear up, it's just so crazy you're a mom now! A MOM! You brought a whole new person into this world, this is such a miracle. I'm in awe. Olive is beautiful, I wish you and your family health, love and joy. ❤️

Thank you for being real! So many mamas pretend like they have it all together but newborn phase is ROUGH! Everyone thinks once the baby is out everything gets better but in truth it gets so much harder! Your heart is full and you never knew you could love like this... but you’re in pain, can’t sit down properly, boobs engorged, your tummy looks deflated and you need a week long nap! Nothing can really prepare you for it. Even when you have baby #2 it’s like “oh my gosh I forgot about this and that” But the sweet little babe makes everything worth it♥️

CONGRATULATIONS!! I've been following you for years and I'm so amazed of the woman/mother you've became! You have a such beautiful little girl. Wish you all the happiness in the world!

Oh my goodness you guys are the most beautiful family!! This has me even more excited for our little boy to arrive in June... and you’re still glowing! I’m so happy you said you’re going to film your labour and delivery story, I was waiting until the end of the video to comment asking for it☺️ looking forward to lots of mummy videos xx

So proud of your dedication to breastfeeding! It’s painful and tiring but so worth it for sweet Olive. Breast is best! Keep up the good work and give Paddy a pat on the back for being so supportive.

Awwwy olive is adorable! Congratulations 💛

Congratulations! Thank you for such an honest portrayal of having a newborn. As a new mom, I really appreciate it. Breast-feeding is hard even when it’s easy. But if your pain continues I wanted to let you know that I found a lot of help in lactation consultants and nurses. I wish you all the best. It’s so obvious that you guys are amazing parents already!!!

I loved this video! It's nice to have ups and downs because that's what makes us human! Would love to see more videos like this and Olive is a beauty, congratulations to you guys!!

Hang in there!! You are an amazing mom. Just focus on your healthy cute baby. Hope you feel better everyday!!

Congratulations!!! Olive is just precious. I so admire that you shared the raw stuff about postpartum and breastfeeding...not many people share that. BF was a lot harder than I thought it would be too, but SO worth it and gets easier. It looks like you’re doing awesome, and have a great support system. 💕

Congratulations!!! Baby Olive is so sweet and adorable! So happy for you and your family!

Good for you for not being shy about breastfeeding. Girl, I do it everywhere. Proud of you. You are an awesome mommy. Things get easier. Promise.

Congratulations to you & Paddy! She is beautiful! You look amazing as well! Many blessings to your family and thank you for taking your viewers along with you! X

Thank you for sharing this with us! I love watching you both take on your new roll as parents. Your family is beautiful. God bless you guys!

Elanna, congratulations on Olive! I just had my son Oliver 10 weeks ago. You are absolutely right, breastfeeding is extremely hard. I was having a ton of problems in the beginning as my milk supply was really intense and my flow was too fast for Oliver to handle as a little newborn. I felt awful because every time he fed he would vomit everything up very violently and we’d have to start again. I’d heard loads about low milk supply and Moms who struggle with not enough milk, but I’d never heard of having too much! If you have one available I would highly recommend seeing a lactation consultant if you have more issues. I was very close to giving up on breastfeeding before I went to see one and in half an hour they basically solved my problem with different positions etc. Hang in there. As Olive grows and becomes stronger so will her latch and her ability to take the milk she wants and needs at her pace. Love your honestly. Women need to talk more about this and support each other, however we choose to feed our little ones. xoxo

So true that breastfeeding is the hardest part! It’s literally a full time job those first few months and so painful! But it does get easier! You’re doing great! Trust your body to do what it was made to do, be patient/kind to yourself in these beginning stages of motherhood, and enjoy every second because before you know it, you will be sobbing at the thought of planning her first birthday party. (From a mom of four who breastfed and/or pumped for various lengths of time, ranging from 6 weeks to 8 months)

She is absolutely gorgeous & so are you! The first few weeks are rough but it does get easier. Enjoy every minute with her because it goes by in the blink of an eye. God bless your beautiful family💗

Great work getting going so early on! I’m glad the warm cloth and expressing helped you out! I also HIGHLY recommend the Medela Contact Nipple Shields. My first is now 4 months old and feeding was so good to start but once my milk fully came in we struggled SO much. My sister-in-law mentioned them and once I tried them it was amazing! It helps baby get a latch and also helps your nipples get a chance to heal up. You gradually stop using them, but they’re super helpful when trying to push through! Sometimes my girl would be fine without (I always tried without first so we didn’t create a NEED), but often when she was really really hungry she struggled the most, so that’s when I used them. Sometimes I even just used it to start the feed until I was a little less engorged. You’re doing great, mama!

Congratulations!! She’s beautiful Good for u that u putting on makeup makes u feel alive:) i have four kids and trust me it will get easier! One day u will sleep😊

She is beautiful and never apologize about the highs and lows it's all part of being a mom💜 you will be great! Sandy is so adorable 💜

The fact that you did makeup and also vlogged just 5 days after giving birth gives me hope! I always thought that moms don't even have time to look at the mirror for the first month! You look AMAZING! Congratulations to you and Patrick!

Thank you for sharing your low moments too, it's real and authentic and means so much to see your honesty. Love you Elanna! Would love to see more videos like this!

Congrats she’s beautiful and stay strong and keep friends and family close for support! Your doing amazing.

Awww, that's so sweet ! Your baby is the cutest! 😍😍

I can’t believe you’ve uploaded, thank you!! ✨ Massive congratulations to you all! It’s amazing watching you both because you just radiate happiness ❣️

You’re doing so beautifully with Olive and yourself! Breastfeeding is so much more difficult and complicated than we ever know. You are handling it all with grace and honoring your feelings at the same time. Great job, mama! Hang in there, your hormones will level out and breastfeeding will get easier. Keep your chin up, even when the tears are falling off of it. So happy for you and Patrick!! ❤️❤️

Thank you for being so vulnerable and true to what motherhood really is! Congratulations

Olive is beautiful! What a blessing! Stay strong, mama! Breastfeeding gets easier and stops hurting. It took my baby girl and me 6 weeks and it just clicked and got to be the easiest thing in the world. It's worth the struggle! I'm praying for your sweet family. This is a season where you'll see and feel Jesus Christ hold you like never before. Lean on Him and His Word and you will have the strength to get through all these highs and lows of being a new mom!

I just found you on here & im obsessedddddd the last 2 days I’ve done nothing but watch your vlogmas and any other vlogs I can find😜😍 more vlogs pleaaeeee!!!

I love that you're so honest and sharing everything. You're such a good mommy!

Thank you so much for being so open about the hardships of motherhood! Lots of people aren't as open and it gives an unrealistic picture of being a parent xx

I remember my sissy having the same issues with breastfeeding a few months back, keep on with your positive attitude you look like your doing great! And WOW your family is seriously so precious! God is so good and watching videos like this really show that! Congrats again Elanna!! 💕

Loved this vlog! Congratulations! Would love to see a video about Paddy's experience being a new father, supporting you, and how that is helping you through the highs and lows. Looking forward to all your new mommy content!

Congratulations on a safe delivery and healthy baby! I love seeing this glimpse of y'all adjusting to baby Olive xx

Elanna, my husband and I have been talking about starting a family for a while now so I loved watching the whole pregnancy experience with you. I have watched a few other channels but I can honestly say yours seem to be the most helpful with tips. They are also so real. Girl I was tearing up with you about the breast feeding struggle. I don't have many friends with babies so I didn't know what a struggle it was. I love watching your vlogs because they are so real and open. Olive is beautiful and you are doing a great job, you and Patty are great parents already. I love your content and just wanted to let you know I will be referencing these videos when the time comes for my husband and I to start a family for tips and tricks. Thank you for your channel!

Awww... Olive is such a beautiful baby girl ❤ Congratulations and much love to your little family! ❤

Congrats to you all! What a beautiful experience. This video feels like a true home video. So precious to know that all the little things you tape will eventually become big memories ♥️

You're doing great, girl! As a nurse I can tell you that new parents freak out about everything, but I am here to tell you that you are the very best mama for your precious Olive, and everything will be okay. Remember to take care of yourself, and enjoy this precious gift xxoo much love from Montreal, Canada

I cannot wait to see so much of baby Olive 😍 I loveee her name she suits it so much! You guys are doing a really great job at parenting ❤️❤️❤️

Loved this video! Would love to see more! I know exactly how you felt in that moment after the frustrating feed. It can be so hard but you are obviously doing wonderfully. It will only get easier with time! Congratulations on your beautiful family!!

Congratulations your daughter is so precious!! Can’t believe you’re out and about so soon.. amazing. You look beaut too x

You have made me so excited to welcome my girl into the world in May. Ive been so nervous but seeing how much you love Olive just melts away any worry I have. I would love a video on everything you actually needed/used at the hospital & maybe a breastfeeding update later on? Congratulations. Miss Olive is perfect!

She is absolutely beautiful. You are doing great!!! I would love to see more of these videos. ❤️❤️❤️

You guys are the ones I love watching the most!

I've been watching your videos for so long Elanna! You're so strong and courageous for showing us the highs and lows. It's comforting to see. Yes to more vlogs like this. Sending you a big hug from Canada xoxo

I’d love to see more!! I’m four months pregnant with a baby girl and I’ve re watched all of your videos 💕🎀 love to see what it’s been like for you and love how it’s all so relatable ☺️

Congratulations! I think it's great that you are so honest with the struggles with breastfeeding. It's important to talk about!

Congratulations!!! She’s absolutely perfect and such a cutie pie!! So glad she is healthy and well!!! You look amazing!! y’all keep up the great work!!!!

Thank you so much for showing us this! Olive is precious, well done!! 😊

Thanks for sharing that video especially seeing that it’s your first week of motherhood ... super mom Olive is so adorable she gets that from her parents such a good family 💕

Congratulations to you!!!!! So happy for you and so nice to see little Olive with you. She is beautiful!!!!! Would love to watch more videos like that from your life with little princess 😘😘😘

Thank you for showing that breastfeeding can be challenging. When I had my first baby girl 15 years ago I had breastfeeding issues and I felt like a failure because it seemed like it was suppose to be so easy and natural but for me it wasn't.

Oh my gosh!! She’s beautiful. I loved this video, you look perfect in your new role as mommy! Congratulations to you and paddy! Continued prayers for you all!

Great job with breastfeeding mamma! It gets easier, so excited to see baby Olive. She’s so precious.

So refreshing to see you showing all aspects including the struggles! Congratulations again, by the looks of it you’re doing an amazing job 🙌🏼💓

Congratulations to you both! Thank you for sharing your journey and sweet Ollie with us. I am so excited to see more of your lovely little family and to follow your journey as a mommy. ❤️

Congrats Elanna on your little mini-me! 💕 And yes, breastfeeding is not easy, that’s for sure! Like you said, the baby will latch on, and latch off and be all fussy at moments and you don’t know what to do...it could be pretty frustrating. I’ve been there! You just gotta push through, take it one step at a time. Everything will be alright!

Baby Olive is such a gorgeous girl! Such a lovely vlog and it's so inspiring to see you share the hard bits of your day as well as the amazing parts ♥️♥️

Congratulations! Thanks also for sharing the reality of being a first time mum.... my little one is 8 months next week and I can relate to each of those first milestones. Enjoy it all, even those tough times as it’s true what they ALL say... it goes so quickly. X

She's so perfect!!! You guys will be such amazing parents! Loved this vlog!

Congratulations!! I absolutely adore your sweet, kind-hearted family! Olive is precious and so well loved! Thanks for sharing :)

Very proud of you elanna, you're rocking this new mom job well done to all! As much as its a joy i imagine its by no means easy xx

I had my baby in November and your ups and downs were me the first week postpartum. The baby blues are really and hit so hard! Especially with breastfeeding stressors. Keep pushing mama. Everyone is sooo right when they say it gets so much easier after 6 weeks.

Don’t give up Elanna you are an amazing mother and you are doing your best for your daughter! The first weeks are hard when it comes to breastfeeding but you and Baby will adapt and it will be perfect, it such an amazing moment with your baby. Keep your positivity, you are amazing ❤️

Congratulations to both you and Paddy ❤️☺️😍 baby Olive is absolutely gorgeous xxx

Love to see Olive and Sandy!! What a cute family!

Congratulations!!! Little Olive is so precious

Oh, you're so glorious to watch. Your honesty is impeccable, it's what we really need in this world. If people portray perfection at breast feeding, when there may not be perfection, it makes it harder for every woman going through the same situation, because nobody knows the truth, and they might feel awful, even if they aren't a failure. I appreciate this vlog so much. :)

Finally baby olive!!!congratulations to you both on your new addition to your beautiful family!!!

olive is so precious! and you're looking stunning! I'd love to see more blogs like this!

Thank you Elanna for sharing! Has been just a blessing watching your guys journey through this life changing experience! Im 35 weeks today and im just loving keeping up tp date with how you's are doing :) xx

Hi, you know I’ve never commented on a video before but I always watch you and relate so much with your breastfeeding experience. With that said I am 32 and have breastfeed my three boys for over a year each. Although when your milk comes in as yours has and you are engorged it is crucial to pump that extra milk. You will not stay in the pain you’re in and your body will regulate to exactly what your daughter needs without you being in pain. The fact that your right breast is hurting more could mean you have a slight infection called mastitis which is awfully painful. I don’t mean to pry or give any unwarranted advice.... I see how hard your trying and I want you to know it will get better. You have a great supply of milk and she is latching on correctly so it will all fall into place and become the most satisfying experience for both of you. The bond it creates is unspeakable and heartwarming. I’m more than sure you know most of what I’m saying already but Incase any of my words could assist you to continue through the hard times. It will get better, won’t hurt at all and become so natural. She is learning too:) If you rub her cheek or lips she will open wide enough for a complete latch and if she falls asleep on the breast you can put your pinky in her mouth against her cheek on the inside to break the latch less painfully for you. Good luck:) I’m sure many people may have different opinions, these are just my well earned ;) thoughts for you. From one mother to another.

Congratulations! She's beautiful! Enjoy these precious moments! xx
