Save a clip of Grant saying he doesn't think the cutesy stuff will work on him. It'll be great to look back on when he is wrapped around miss baby's finger!

It would be so fun to re-read these around her first birthday! Everything changes so much when you become a parents and it’s so different than how you imagined (at least that was my experience) so I bet a video a year later would be fun 😊

When Grant isn’t talking and he’s just staring at the camera while Lieghann is talking I feel like he’s my dad staring at me at the breakfast table knowing that I came home after curfew and is waiting for me to confess…

I really appreciated your insight about how raising a child takes more than two people! I have a four month old and a husband who works a lot. I WISH I had family members or a nanny to help me with my son. I always feel so guilty for having this thought and other moms make me feel like sucking it up and suffering is just the way it is. Hearing your opinions on the subject made me feel valid and heard. I can’t wait to watch your parenting journey! You two are a great couple and will raise a beautiful family.💛

I love Grant's perspective on accepting help and nannies! The grind culture of this day and age is so toxic. I grew up with a nanny from about three until I went off to kindergarten. Both my parents had very demanding jobs, but I never felt like I wasn't being raised by them as well. My nanny was there as extra help to support our family. Not there to replace my parents which I think can sometimes be a stigma of "someone else raising your kids for you". I will forever love my nanny!

I've been watching for years. Your both super laid back with great personalities. Your baby won't lack for anything. The vibe I get from you is you will be loving, nurturing parents who lay down healthy boundaries for your child. Y'all will make time for your child and spend quality time as a family, because you do it now. The way you balance each other i could see yall sharing the voice of reason if one is overindulgant. Grant is a great provider. Leanne is very humble on most things. Your blogs are like visiting with family. I'm really happy y'all will be parents. Your going to be excellent parents. Thanks for always including us. ❤ y'all

Thank you both (especially Grant) for acknowledging that it's ok to need help raising a baby (not just for moms but dads too) and that raising a baby can be detrimental to your physical and mental health if you are needing help but not getting it because of the stigma of being a stay at home parent

You’ve got a really great attitude about breastfeeding! I have a 6mo old that I reeeeeaaaally wanted to exclusively bf, but wasn’t able to. There were a couple of reasons why it didn’t work out in the beginning, but now we are able to do both (probably 60% bf and 40% ff), which turned out to be the best thing for our situation. It might be hard or it might be easy in the beginning, but you’ll absolutely figure out what works best for your family!

Can't imagine any two people who are more ready to become parents... you guys are going to have such an incredible family I can't wait for you:)

There's a huge difference in spoiled and being a spoiled brat..my son may get things he wants sometimes, but if we say no he puts things back without fussing or whining at all. Only once did he actually cry over not getting something in a store and he didn't get it for that reason, and he's never done it since. Now I don't have to deal with tantrums and he sometimes gets rewarded just for being good while not expecting it.

Grant: "I don't think the cutesy, 'aww...' stuff works on me" Leighann: **cackles**

I really appreciated the conversation about nannies and help… even though I have lived on the total opposite side of that equation while raising my kids. I have been a stay at home Mom for all 5 of my kids, my husband works and owns his own business and it has always just been the 2 of us. But I can’t tell you often I get told how “lucky” I am to have a husband who works so hard so that I can just stay home. I appreciate people who see that raising kids is also a ton of work. Working Moms, stay at home Moms, Moms with lots of help and Moms with little help, it’s hard work all around 💕

Different adults in a kids life is a game changer, aside from the domestic help aspects. Too many kids grow up really sheltered with only one understanding of the way the world works. I bopped around a lot as a kid from various babysitters homes, spent probably an abnormal amount of time sleeping at friends houses, and very close relationships with my scouts and guide leaders and therefore spent a lot of time away from my parents camping, things like that. I also have a close step family and bopped back and forth between two divorced parents. I appreciated my parents (they're lovely) but sought out other worldviews, and adults who would do with me what they wouldn't, like going camping, and at age maybe 9 or 10 I knew the village was crucial to getting to grips with the world. I really think it made a world of difference to my ability to understand that not every family is the same, and I'm grateful for it as part of my adult worldview even now, I find i'm often flexible where people sometimes struggle to empathize or try something new

Within the first 5 minutes Grant said "I just don't fall for that cutesie stuff" and I thought to myself 'neither did our good friend until he had a daughter', y'all are going to be kickass parents. Excited for this chapter!

Thanks for talking about the nanny stigma! I CAN watch my two boys 24/7 but my mom comes twice a week and is a life saver. Gives me time to do what I need/want to do. Every mom (and dad) needs a break!

The term "crunchy mom" makes me think of that scene in Away we go where Maggie Gyllenhaal's character scoffs at the stroller. "Why would I want to push my baby away from me?" 😂😂

I wouldn’t consider myself a “crunchy” mom at all, buuuut I will say making your own baby food is totally easy and normal and fun 😊 it’s literally just blending up fruits and vegetables lol. We still used store bought baby food, it was just more cost efficient to blend up fruits/veggies ourselves and freeze it! No shame either way, just telling you my experience 😊

What nobody told me about nursing is Not only are you learning, baby is too. I was like "its NATURAL! WHY AM I FAILING?". But when you remember that you are both learning together, its easier to take those failures

I never fail to get teary eyed when you two talk about being parents. I work in a field where I see kids in rough situations and you two seem like you're going to be the best parents 💕

I’ve been a homeschooling mom for 20 years, and the past 6 years of those I’ve been doing it as a single mom. I live really far from family and have never been able to afford help. All of that to say, if you have the option of having help, ABSOLUTELY UTILIZE THAT HELP! Well rested, mentally cared for parents are a gift to their children ❤️

There is a special connection between a Daddy and a daughter!! And I can totally see Grant being a loving Daddy!! I think you guys will be equal when it comes to being strict. First time parents always go overboard and it's just fine!

We are foodies. We had tons of varieties of healthy food options. Then I had a huge picky eater as my second child. We tried everything- letting him go hungry till next meal, psychology, make him part of the cooking process, puréed vegetables into sauces etc etc. he would just not eat it if it wasn’t what he wanted. Only veg he ever ate was ketchup lol. He’s now a healthy eater, power lifter and professional. Still picky but has a larger diet now. My advice. Don’t stress if she is a picky eater.

Grant’s 🤔😏 face had me rollin’! Sassy Grant is my favourite!

I was one who thought Grant would be the tough one, I think I see Grant as more analytical and you as more emotional but as a girl who is very close with her dad I can also see him possibly becoming a lot softer and be wrapped around her finger. It's going to be interesting no matter what!

I loved my nanny. She was with me until first grade and she really made a positive difference in my life. I think it’s silly to expect two adults with no family nearby to not get help. Good for you for being willing to acknowledge your needs.

It's important to both be the good and bad cop! Your kids need you both to be supportive and also discipline them. Always be on the same page in front of them!

On the nanny point, I don’t necessarily think that people intentionally shame moms who have a nanny, I think it’s more so people understand that it’s an extreme privilege to be able to hire help with your baby given there are many, many moms who HAVE to do it on their own.

Former nanny here Nannying is great for the kids and the parents and it's a great job. Nannying is how I put myself through college! Like Grant said, it's almost impossible to do it yourself (especially if both parents work). Even if parents only get occasional non-family child care for a few hours a week so they can run errands or have a date night it's a wise investment. Frankly, I think it's ridiculous to shame anyone who chooses to hire help for their family and I'm glad to see you and Grant aren't engaging in that tomfoolery !!

Grant say cutie stuff doesn't work on me......then Miss baby comes into picture! Hes soft as marshmallow!😂🤗😂🤗Love you guys!

Everything is up for change depending on the child you are blessed with. The good part is, whatever you guys decide to do will be the right thing! You’re gonna be awesome parents and she will be one lucky & loved baby ❤️

My BFF was married and had kids very young and I always say “I did my best parenting before I had kids!” You and Grant will find your groove. I love what you said about letting your child find their independence. Letting kids make mistakes creates such great learning opportunities. You two will be fine! Relax and enjoy your new little daughter. ❤️

I’ve lost count how many times I replayed 17:58 😂 the super southern “wait that’s not your accent “ was so perfect .

I love that Miss Baby will be able to look back at your journey and know how much she is loved and all your hopes and dreams for her ❤️

Miss baby is so lucky to have you two as parents! I wish more people viewed the world as you do, it would be a much more peaceful place.

I can totally see both of you being on the same team as far as discipline. As far as breastfeeding I can totally see you being successful! You have that stubborn willpower that's totally needed for sticking it through! My milk just never came. I was super bummed but I was happy I had other options to feed my babies.

I’ve been a nanny for 10 years and want to hire my own nanny when I have kids 😂 Most people assume I want to be a stay at home mom but. I promise I’m going to be a much better mom when I’m rested and have an identity outside of being a mom. Everyone should find their own balance and I wish there wasn’t so much shame in that!

I think 1 of the greatest gifts a parent can give their child is to appreciate all cultures

As a nanny it's so nice to hear a positive perspective on having one. I have so much love for all my kiddos and want nothing more for them than learning about the world and being accepting of everyone (as that person said)! We really are there to be another person in your child's corner, to have their back and support them while in your home AND for the rest of their lives. :)

She will be a daddy’s girl 100% and have grant wrapped around her finger you watch lol my husband always said I won’t spoil her but now he comes home with things for her or all she needs to do is puppy dog eyes 🥺 daddy is there with his credit card 💳 lol

I LOL'd at Grant's last "Wrong!" answer for the last question... you two will be amazing parents!!

I’ve been a long term/travel nanny for 10+ years! No shame in extra help. the only bad thing I can truly say is getting so attached to the little ones and having to say goodbye. Luckily, all the families I’ve worked with have been so amazing in keeping in touch as we all became so close. It really is a family dynamic when you find the right nanny!

I just wanted you to know, breastfeeding can be extremely challenging for the first few weeks (I did it almost two years with both my babies), especially after the first baby. However, after that I found it to be the most rewarding, bonding, and beautiful experience in my life. If I had to say one thing I miss the most, it’s definitely breastfeeding. Also, because I got to stay home, I really found it to be much easier in the long run. No shame to anyone, I agree that fed is best, just wanted to give you my perspective. If you can tough out the bloody and cracked nipples, and colostrum period (when baby seems to want more than you have to give), you will be smooth sailing after that. 😘❤️❤️❤️

I’m sorry, but trying not to be rude. Why do you need more than two parents to raise a child? Two parents have been raising children since time began. I don’t get it? A nanny? Do you BOTH work outside the home? Please help me understand. My husband and myself raised three children without a nanny, and two of them were only 13 months apart, yes that was hard but having multiple births is hard too, but a nanny? I truly wish you both the best of luck.

I’m still just so excited for you guys! I think you both will be wonderful parents❤️

I almost lost it when Grant gave us a guttural “TOXIC” and then just confirmed it was his favorite song so casually afterwards 🤣🤣🤣 Now I’m only going to hear it whenever he enters the vlogs

I work at a daycare and I love my job. There are many parents that need help and we are able to provide for them. I think it’s great you guys realize that you will need help many people don’t think like that.

Basically, “we’re going to be the sensible people we’ve always been to the best of our ability.” Sounds reasonable to me. 😂 She’s going to be a lucky little girl.

As a parent and Pre k teacher. What we did was have our kids eat what we did, especially when you eat out. Exposure at a young age is so important. I know you both will do great no matter how you choose to do things.

I think parenting style changes with each child. Our youngest of 4 kids got away with a lot. He was a happy go lucky kid and pretty soon I was giving permission for things I never did with the first. 😀. All in all my husband and I were pretty equal in parenting. We were a team. Now we are grandparents and all rules go out the window. 🤣

No shame around a nanny/ help, but absolutely wasnt and option for me with my girls. It's such a privilege ❤️

I am “not” assuming…..I know you will be great parents…. Kind, loving and supportive..just like you are to one another….So happy for you….💕💕💕

You’re so cool to have a flexible attitude toward both your birth plan and breastfeeding. Sometimes things just don’t work out according to plan despite your best efforts. You can’t beat yourself up for things that happen and aren’t totally within your control. I had a friend who was made to feel like a complete failure by everyone in her family because she didn’t produce much milk and the baby was frustrated unless she bottle fed and wouldn’t latch well. She became desperately depressed and it wasn’t her fault. Keeping your baby alive (fed) and happy is the ultimate goal regardless of the method.

I think that is a great attitude for breastfeeding. I went in along the same lines and am glad I did as we ended up not latching and pumping for six months, followed by formula. In the end, all that mattered was my babe was fed and happy.

If you work outside the home and send your kids to daycare or have someone at the house with them that is help. If you work at home why shouldn't you also have help? Help is good for everyone. I think a lot of people didn't have help so they look down on those that do but many of those people would have wanted help if it was possible..i.e. financially possible, etc

Y’all will be rock solid parents, not that you need my two cents. That little girl is so lucky 💗

I love Grant's personality so much. He is so stoic but then comes out his witty, intelligent humor. Yall are my kinda people.

I gave my kids anything and everything, and they loved it. Then, as each one turned 3, they would only eat yellow food (mac and cheese, nuggets, corn, etc). Every kid is different but 90% of them will go through this stage, some never do. Kids have their own minds and you will find that out real quick 😄😆 its hard but oh so worth it.

I guessed 99% of your answers as you read the assumptions and love your attitudes and responses! This kid will be loved and raised by a caring village (including your village of followers). 💗 Good luck and best wishes to both of you as you continue on this happy journey and new phase of life! (P.S. I *think* I've been following you since you lived at your parents?! Or first apartment. ...those makeup and hair tutorials in that bedroom 👌🏻)

Sometimes moms including myself make themselves the martyr. But, it just makes me feel guilty because I never feel “good” enough. Definitely something that needs to change in society! It is super toxic to want someone else to suffer because you are suffering. Such a great perspective!

I am so so so incredibly excited for you guys. I love how grant spoke about raising kids with help. As a mom of twins who had no help other than my husband for the first 5 months i can't agree more. There is no shame in asking for and needing help!

Y’all are going to be such amazing parents. I’m so excited for y’all. ❤️

Longtime viewer here... I'm so happy for you and Grant. Can't wait to see her little face. :-D In Denmark, (one of the happiest countries in the world) it is "expected" that you send your child to daycare from monday to friday, from the age of one. It is considered a healthy thing (from around 3 years old) to introduce your child to other children and adults, and teach them how to function in a social setting. We have great benefits from it in our country. But, I do understand how it can seem like a big and scary thing, to trust someone else with the most precious person in your life... Your child, your heart. :-)

Also wants say how amazingly refreshing it is to see other parent’s saying hey, help with your child is totally okay! I wasn’t told that and my mental health deteriorated. You guys are so ready for miss baby to come!

We didn't have a nanny or like a ready to go babysitter BUT if I need help and ask, there's my MIL or mom that are so happy to babysit or watch over night or on weekends and it's the best!! Moms need a break too!! And we need to work etc. No shame in that.

We’re also having a Little Miss from our first embryo transfer who is due 1 week before your Miss Baby! It’s been really cool to follow your journey since it’s been so close to what we’ve been going through. I know your blogs are a little delayed but we had our egg retrieval’s, got our generic results, did a transfer all around the same time! Then with the pregnancy we bought new mom suvs, couches, had baby showers, had sisters have babies in may, etc. all within a week or so and it’s been so fun to watch! 💖

I am so happy that you all have so many around you who understand. We are over three years into infertility and treatment, and everyone around us is getting pregnant in one cycle, two cycles. Having easy healthy pregnancies, while we have lost 8 pregnancies and have suddenly lost the ability to even get pregnant. Not one single soul we know understands and in fact many have asked us to stop talking about it because they feel uncomfortable. It has been the most isolating horrible experience socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

I agree that there should be no shame in asking for help! I think some people may think that if you hire a nanny, you won’t be as involved in your child’s life. Also, not everyone can hire someone to help, so you are in a very privileged position! I have been watching your videos since 2015 and I just had a babe in March. I was so excited that we were pregnant at the same time and I’m excited to see you become a momma. It’s the best!

I’m blown away at people’s assumptions that you will not breast feed… I’m assuming that they didn’t watch the vlog where you talked about breast feeding… I think it was in one where you had gotten new bras… maybe in May?

You two are going to be the best parents. The way you talk about parenting.. Oh my goodness. Thank God for you two.

Your accent definitely gets stronger when you’re with your family 🥰 I’m a daughter of filipino immigrants. I was born here. And I find myself talking to my babies in filipino accents lol. It just came natural. I turned into my parents basically lol

Your outlook and open mindedness proves what wonderful parents you are about to become! So so excited for you guys ❤️

Do everything the way you two want to do it! Enjoy every second. You two both will do great and be great parents! Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️👏🏽

I love how realistic your perspective on the nanny/help topic is. We cannot do it all ourselves. We can’t do it all and remain sane. Suffering does not add value to maternity.

I think it’s great you’re considering getting a nanny. When I had my son I had people willing to help but I pushed everyone away because I thought I’d be a bad mom for taking a break. It so negatively impacted my mental health, I was burnt out and even more anxious than before. I accept help whenever I can now, it benefits both of us 😊 Anyways, you two are going to be great parents. I’m so happy for you both!

Here's some parenting advice. You don't choose your parenting style, the child will choose that for you. Every child is different, and each child will have different needs. My first child didn't need me as much so helicoptering was not an issue (even though I wanted to hover) but with my second, he has very high needs and im 100% helicoptering and he thrives with it. My second also has autism and his needs are drastically more than his older brother, but his brother can do his own thing and prefers to be allowed to be more independent. I have problems with my youngest not being independent enough lol

The only shame there is around having a mom's helper or nanny is that I'm not close enough to apply. I feel like you'd both be so wonderful and sweet to work with. So excited to watch you both become parents. It's getting so close I can't wait! ~Shellie

I love the part about not shaming others for asking help. Raising a child takes a lot even as an uncle, aunt, grandparents, mothers, fathers, etc.. having helps build growth for little one and new attachments

I’m super appreciative of your approach and openness surrounding modeling and establishing a non-restrictive, shameless, and healthy relationship with food for your child because it’s not specifically spoken about nearly enough. I developed an eating disorder when I was 11 and really struggled throughout my teens. People don’t realize so many negative messages we’re given (even if unintentionally) are internalized until they turn into difficult cycles of coping mechanisms. Just hearing how my mom spoke about her own body image and the foods she “shouldn’t” or “couldn’t” eat growing up is still an uncomfortable thing to process as an adult. To this day, unlearning those stigmas around food is hard for HER to do so I just love that you have the proactive perspective you do and want to make sure miss baby has the tools to self-regulate as well as the adventurousness to try everything and connect with others over it. ☺️💕

Your story about noticing Luna stuff from three miles away is super accurate in terms of being a mom (or so I've noticed in the past 13 months lol) I SWEAR I see stuff happen like a couple seconds before it actually does, and then as I'm opening my mouth to tell my husband like, "he's gonna-"... he's like, doing it or falling or something already 😅 I feel like it's just a different level of spatial awareness??

I could feel all the emotions coming thru when you spoke of your fertility journey!! We love how real you guys are and thank you so much for sharing your lives with us!!

You are both such lovely people. Your baby is very lucky to have you as her parents. Also, Grant has such a calming voice!

I did Modern Fertility back in 2019 and it was because of them I found out that I had subclinical hypothyroidism. Because we knew we wanted to try for a baby within the next 12 months, I was able to start medication and I do believe that being proactive helped us conceive when we were ready. Of course so much goes into it but being armed with information is a game changer.

I am so grateful to you Leigh Ann for sharing your journey with pcos it has helped me so much and helped me get my own pcos diagnosis and even recently I advocated for myself to get my hormones tested with my new doctor thank you for sharing your journey

You guys are gonna be amazing parents and are so self aware of such important things. 100% you need help with kids. It is very mentally draining. Its honestly taken a toll on me and my husband and we dont have the help or funds for extra care so we have struggled. Even been told i shouldnt have had kids when i admitted i struggled. You guys are already setting up such a healthy family dynamic and glad you guys can share your insight on these topics.

Love your outlook on breastfeeding. It is hard but take it day by day, week by week, month by month! I think going into not putting pressure on yourself is the best attitude

I am a nanny for a 7 year old and have been for almost his whole life. Even if you didn't think you needed help, you need it. The extra se too hands even if those hands aren't on the baby and just there to help you when Grant is gone.. I love it and am very sad that I won't be with him for much longer. Being a nanny is wonderful and you will gain another family member! We love your little ones as much as you do if that's imaginable.

Enjoy your time off with your new baby. Don’t worry about the small things take lots of pictures. You will know what’s right when the time comes.

I'm only half way through, but after hearing your answers about "junk food" and breastfeeding, you 2 are going to be her best parents, even if ALL of your plans change about parenthood ❤️

I sent a DM that was along the lines but opposite of the first question...I said I assumed you both would actually have a hard time disciplining her. I say that because you both seem so sweet and kind and not quick to anger or strictness just in your overall demeanor!

One of my favorite things about following your journey is that it has made me so aware of the struggle that women (and their partners) go through dealing with fertility issues. Although I never experienced any of it, I feel more prepared to offer support to anyone that I end up meeting who IS struggling… P.S. I wish I had a southern accent, my Yankee heart is so jealous. Can’t wait for the arrival of Miss Baby!!! Woohoooooo!

I love this dress Leighann * more power to you if you get a nanny. Your family doesnt live down the street from you! you should not feel bad for that. * Midwesterner here and you do both have an accent * I went to a catholic private school and I am very thankful for that. You are both going to be great parents!

Good luck with the food thing… as a mom of 3 we have done the same thing with each kid and 2 are very adventurous eaters and one is NOT at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ Approaching it the way you plan to is awesome and will serve you well just know if they don’t it’s not on you

That little girl will break Grant's manhood 🤣 My husband is so wrapped around our daughters finger its hilarious...

I'm just excited for both of you to be parents! That little girl is gonna be the luckiest in the world!

Both of you look like such nice people,both of you looks like gentle people.Grant will be a caring dad,and he seems to me a very realistic person,being a doctor he will be. It's good to concentrate on healthy food,and moderation. You both will be great parents♥Can't think people can have such assumptions about you - every mother will want to breastfeed.

My daughter was never a picky eater until she turned 6 and was around a picky eater. Before that she’d eat pretty much anything 🙄 its been about 7 months and slowly getting back, but she’s asserting her independence, which is great, but also knows she has to have real food too. Also having sweets around has definitely made my daughter not overly into “needing it or devouring it” she likes them but will happily pick fruit over chocolate. Also remember things will change as all of you change and grow and don’t be too hard on yourself. The first year is hard on its own for so many reasons don’t put any extra pressure on yourself. She just needs to be safe, happy and loved. 🤗

The best part bout this is that next year you will be seeing this and laughing at all the things that you thought you will be doing and not doing... best of luck to the papis! (had to use the Spanish there, sorry)

I think “mommas boy” and “daddy’s girl” is sooo accurate. You just wait, Grant, until that little girl says pleeeease daddy. You’re done! 😂

I love your stance on food, my mom made us eat really healthy and we never got sugar or anything junk food wise. It made me want it so bad when I was around it and once I was on my own I went a bit nuts on junk food and gained like 15 lbs. If she had exposed me more in moderation and made it not a big deal I don't think I would've had such a fascination!

I see you two as being in sync and in agreement in parenting issues. I dont see Grant just giving in when he knows LeighAnn has said no. You guys are a great team.
