Hi guys 🫶🏼 thank you for your patience over the last couple of months as we navigated a LONG long NICU stay. The NICU world is one I didn't expect to be in this long, and we have all learned and grown so much over the last 3 months. This has been such a hard experience but we are SO thankful to finally have our girl Soleil home with us. We are fully ready to take on whatever the world throws at her! She is truly the strongest little thing and has blown us all away with how resilient she is. Everyone in the NICU always said she was such a feisty fighter and it's true! Thank you for watching, for the encouraging words, and for the support and love for our girl (and all of us). And for those of you still going through the NICU just know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and the fog will lift one day! Sending love and gratitude to you all. Onto the next chapter!! 🤍

Hi, I'm Liv! I'm an Ohio girl living in a California world with my two sons, newborn twin girls, two dogs and husband. I make videos on motherhood, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and overall health and wellness. Some of my favorite videos to make (that you'll see a lot!) are motherhood videos, clothing and home decor haul videos, family vlogs, try on videos and product reviews, and style/beauty favorites. I LOVE to shop, socialize, hang out at the beach, and focus on raising my boys to be good men. I pride myself on being an optimistic person and believe life is too short to be anything other than your happiest self. Welcome! ♡

Olivia, PLEASE do not hesitate to let us know how we can support you. What helps most? Watching your YT ads all the way through? Clicking links you share? Saving your instagram posts? Let us know what helps and we will all try to do it! I can't even imagine the cost of having a baby in the NICU for that long, plus your new home.... 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Olivia, it’s okay to not share what you don’t want to share. It’s okay to take a break and go silent without explanation. Your family needs the best you, but most importantly, YOU need the best you. Sending love and prayers 💕💕🙏🏾

I don’t even know how to word what I want to say, nicu mom here (we did 6 weeks with one twin 8 weeks with the other) and the way you have carried yourself, balanced yourself, fought for your girl, I mean I have had the utmost respect for you and your husband this whole time. It’s not easy to watch this because I know your pain because I have felt my own and I just want to hug you, tell you your incredible and your family is so lucky to have you as their rock!

Girl I was crying 5 seconds in. This journey is so close to home for us. My 34 weeker had so much harder of a time than doctors thought she would. Congratulations times a million for bringing that girl home!!! Closing the nicu chapter is a breath of fresh air. Time for a much better kind of chaos 🎉❤😂

As a NICU mom myself I cried this whole video. I only stayed 12 days in the nicu with my baby girl (who is now 3 ) so I cant even imagine what you went through. I remember the day we got to leave thinking its my turn! Watching your video makes my heart explode seeing you guys get your turn to go home! I am so happy you have your baby home! This is just the beginning. Your baby is so lucky to have you guys.

@valeriekim5162 11 ай бұрын

Congratulations on bringing your baby girl home! Just know that you sharing about your beautiful medically complex baby girl made me smile and cry and I’m glad you shared your story about Soleil. Your strength throughout this difficult time shined through this video. I’m a 2x NICU mama from Central California and my almost 3 year old son is medically complex and was life flighted to Ohio where we actually lived in the children’s hospital for 374 days until we were able to bring him back home last year. He has a G-Tube too. Don’t stop sharing about your journey. There are a lot of medical mamas who can stand with you and give you support. 😊
