Haha

And a lemon lol

@@meghanm8678 she obviously does care about her health, her babies health, and the health of others. You obviously don’t “love Sierra” if you’re coming to her comments to be negative.

🍊 ✨ 👶 ✨

why did I think sunkist was an orange soda? lol

@@kellyc4804 It is.

It made me laugh when she said it because when I was pregnant I was obsessed with oranges

@@kellyc4804 haha it is🤣🤣

110% i am with you on that !

My life didn’t change much even with 2 babies!! My husband and I can take them almost anywhere, and we don’t hesitate to ask for a babysitter when we need that date night! You don’t have to lose your life because you got babies 🥰

I totally read that as they SHOULD stop lol but u r soo right!!

SO CUTE HAD NO IDEA

really? never thought why we get hiccups

Came to say this!! Just because you can't move around and do as much doesn't mean your body isnt working overtime on the inside to grow that bundle of joy. That extra energy you've lost is aaaaall being shared for her instead now.

Right me too like wait she’s sponsored by oranges 🍊

Can explain the importance of it? I'm my from US and everyone is like OMG congratulations

@@dishadharmraj6986 Sunkist is a very large brand out here.

She literally said she was sponsored by Sunkist at the beginning plus also wrote it before she started talking about oranges lol 😂😂

I am also 4 weeks 6 days! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations

Congrats!!

Congrats💖

Congrats and good luck with everything! 💚💕

Yessss this!!! 🙏

Totally agree! During my pregnancy I felt so guilty because I wasn't all bubbles and sparkles all the time... I was extremely tired, in pain, stressed out and couldn't control my emotions. After my baby was born, now it came breastfeeding. The most painful thing I've ever experienced! (And I had a coughing attack after the c-section) Maybe my obgyn failed me, because I have semi-flat nips, which I didn't even know was a thing, so I was supposed to prep them during pregnancy to breastfeed, but didn't. Breastfeeding felt like a flame burning directly on my nips, so everytime I was crying and yelling, sometimes even pulling my baby away, and made me feel the worst mom in the world, because everybody says is magical and beautiful, but I suffered so much... That's my main reason for not wanting a second child. Toxic positivism can be so so dangerous.

Do you have a specific development games book you've heard good things about?

@@gnyng88 All moms are so strong. You really went through it! I'm not having kids for a lot of reasons but as a nurse and woman I've been around many pregnancies and I just wish more women were real about it. Some pregnancies are easier than others and it's something we should learn about BEFORE we go through it. Of course nothing could ever fully prepare you but it's still better to have a wide variety of experience to hear about. This and the secrecy around miscarriages is just so heart breaking.. when we stay silent other women follow, and we internalize the shame and guilt that we shouldn't even feel in the first place. I myself and mostly every adult woman I know has had a miscarriage, yet we're somehow led to believe by society it's a rarity and probably something we did or didn't do correctly and not to talk about it. We're just animals and at the end of the day our bodies can only do so much sometimes. Just know, this internet stranger is proud of you for getting through it and speaking about it.

kateliness2 I do, actually! First of all, I’d highly recommend ‘ Positive Discipline A-Z’ by Jane Nielsen, Lynn Lott and H. Stephen Glenn. . It’s how to disciple your child based on mutual respect and positivity. It learns you how to make it a learning opportunity instead of a punishment , which will benefit the child themselves and benefit their relationship of trust with you. It’ll also learn how your child how to deal with mistakes and that it is okay to make them from a young age, which is something that is truly important, especially during the ages of 2-3 years old. I’d also recommend ‘the whole brained child’ by Daniel J. Siegel , it’s about balance of the child’s brain and how to stimulate certain parts of it. ‘The self driven child’ by Willam Stixrud and Ned Johnson is also a really good one , it’s about how to motivate your children when the motivation is lacking (this one is for 5-7 , which is a bit late on the list but still great) A few other books are: ‘125 Brain Games for Babies’ by Jackie Sielberg (the same author also has books for toddler games to) ‘Brain Games for Babies, Toddlers & Twos: 140 Fun Ways to Boost Development’ also by Jackie Sielberg. At last I’d also make a note about stimulating toys. You can make a quick google search and tons will come up to stimulate hand eye coordination, memory, walking even. I hope this helped a bit!

@@Wildflower253 Yeah but it's still really sweet to see how awesome Stephen is when a lot of dads aren't nearly that involved. They tag team almost everything and it's so endearing.

@@Wildflower253 that's so mean, you know nothing about him in real life and you shouldn't draw those conclusions. You see him MAYBE 15 minutes a week and only see the specific things they decide to show you. Of course he wouldn't want to heat up the pool every day, regardless of if you have the money or not, it's still not something that someone would want to do everyday. Even Sierra herself has said it cost a good amount of money and isn't ideal to heat up everyday. And besides, that's one thing. He has been one of the most involved KZfaq dads I have ever seen, and clearly looks so, so excited and happy to take this journey with Sierra. Don't jump to the worst possible conclusions on people you don't even know.

@@Wildflower253 I'm not the one you're talking trash about, so no. You're saying how terrible Stephen is, just thought I should explain why that's 1) a terrible thing to say 2) literally make no sense.

@@Wildflower253 That's literally the opposite of what I said. Stop trolling and hating on people the internet that haven't done anything even remotely problematic and seem pretty genuine.

@@Wildflower253 If this is how you draw extreme judgements on a complete total stranger (Stephen) on the internet who has shown nothing but kindness to his wife, then I truly feel sorry for the people in your life

We did this with our girls’ lovies. That way if one was dirty or missing we could always pull out the other one.

Yes this happened with my nieces teddy bear. Also swap between the copies regularly (like when the other is in the wash) because, especially as they get a little older, it does not go over well when they are given the same toy but it's clearly newer.

Yes! And keep them in constant rotation so when you introduce the new one it doesn't feel different than the one that's well loved

It doesn't have to be just a blanket that bubby gets attached to. My second had a thing for his older brother's yellow and red striped t-shirt, he wouldn't settle without it, in the end I had to unpick the shirt so we had multiple pieces in rotation for when "Stripey" was in the wash... It's amazing what little ones will be drawn to... Also, if you or someone else does any type of yarn crafts - knitting or crochet, if possible, have a couple of whatever is made so that piece can be in the mix too. My daughter had a hand knitted "fussy" cloth (a 12" square, like a large face washer) that my mum made for her, so mum made her 2 more so that it could be washed without drama... The most important thing to remember is, whatever you do will be the right thing for your baby... don't let others try to put you off whatever works for you and your little family... ;)) Can't wait to meet B.G., hope all goes the way you want it to and you have a happy, healthy baby, 'cause at the end of the day, that's what matters most...:)

My son's "blankie" was one we found in my grandmother's house. It didn't look old, but I think it was, and with repeated washings it actually disintegrated over time. I could never find one that looked the same either. It was heart-breaking! P.S. Sorry to say - mama doesn't decide which blanket baby gets attached to!

Same

Honestly lol

@Kara Fightmaster yes i know but as I tried to say I'm really interested in how giving birth affects the body and mind so i would love a sit down video especially about that ☺

Obviously, I'm not her, but I can speak from my experience. I had a rough time, might have been rougher than normal though because I gave birth this time last year when covid was new, and didn't know I was allergic to the pain relieving spray, and my baby was colicky for the first few weeks. It was a lot. But, a year later and I'm in a good place. It all got figured out, my body is shaped differently but fully repaired (except for my abs being a little weaker, but that's on me for not working on them). Everyone wonders, so yes, everything is exactly the same "down there" as before (though I seriously doubted it would be in the beginning, as I had a 2nd degree episiotomy that didn't want to heal properly). Physically and mentally more exhausted because it's a lot of work to take care of a child all day, but I had bad days before having her so I can't blame it on her. I will say that I have many more extremely happy moments throughout the day than I used to (but also more tired and frustrated ones, so it's a trade off). It really helps to go into it knowing what you're getting in for, and choosing it, but we don't always have that luxury.

@@LoudBeatsYou labor was the most painful thing I've experienced in my life and I've been hit by a car once my body wouldn't get numb so I had to under and my body wouldn't dilate past 4 centimeters so I had to have a c section my biggest worry was not waking up but I woke up Randy's face from say yes to the dress that's what was in my head kinda weird but anyway peeing burns for me not that bad but it started after they took out catheter out I was very eager to move around soon but that's one thing I'll do different next time it would benefit me more taking it slow getting the epidural wasn't painful for me but it didn't work so that sucked yeah again contractions were the absolute worst pain ever for me I can't imagine dealing with it until fully dilated I wanted to wait but after 21 hours of pure pain I said give it here please lol but everyone is different but I say expect the worse pain ever that way like with the epidural I was shook that it didn't hurt to get it done but after I had my son my lower back would hurt in the injection site my sis n law has pain from it still 17 years later.....my pain went away everyone is different. Take care

You can also get reusable ones that are probably great for that also after you’re done nursing

Haha, I'm trying to explain this to my husband - we're having a boy and I've bought rainbow polka dot decals to put on the walls. He keeps grumbling about it for a boy's room, and I'm like, when did you ever look at a rainbow and decide it was a woman?!

funfact, color coding (pink for female and blue for male) is using in medical system to make the health staffs easier to identify and find patients. sometimes pink for girls and blue for boys are really really helpful and not entirely 'toxic'.

@@mambowumbo Funnily enough, pink used to be the boy color (because it's a stronger color) while blue was for girls (since it's muted and calm). Even then, those standards came about around the early 20th century. Before then, people mainly dressed their kids in white for practical reasons. I can see how color coding could be useful, though I find it ridiculous when a boy wants to have something pink but his parents speak over him because "pink is for girls".

@@TuesdaysArt yeaaa i've read this one too. i think it was somewhere in europe (roman empire era? if i'm not wrong) when men would wear pink as symbol of their masculinity but then later shifted after someone use pink as her favorite color and people adored that.

i’d like to argue that you will suffer from sleep deprivation for the first eight years

It really frustrates me when people say, “sleep as much while you can”... I have insomnia... and am 30 weeks pregnant😂 it makes me feel like absolute poop because I struggle to sleep anyhow

This makes me never want to have one 🥲 it seems so scary

Same

I felt like death for my whole pregnancy too but it's amazing how quickly you forget once baby is here and you start thinking about having another!

I feel you. I'm 26 weeks and it's been about 70% hell. First couple months I was so miserable, I honestly considered terminating the pregnancy because I thought I'd literally die if I kept going. Luckily it's gotten better and I imagine I'll forget it all but *sigh* it's pretty tough some times. I hope you have some support groups or other pregnant friends to help you get through it! ❤️

...and a heck of a lot more receiving blankets!

@Kat Ross its safe for babies when they get rashes or if they scratch their faces with their nails etc

@@dance_U_1 we used more velcro swaddles than receiving blankets 🤷‍♀️

Oh my god. The 4th trimester broke me. Life is MUCH more normal now that she’s moving around and playing here at 7 months.

@@jessicarosen7650 same lol - the fourth trimester was the worssssst for me

@Lindsey Bailes yeah, but basically anything you can safely sit/lay your baby in will work, especially if they can see you. My baby loved watching me unload the dishwasher or fold clothes when she was around 3 months old.

Jumpsuit - I stand corrected!

I know! I can't wait for baby girl!
