Anyone notice the video quality? Josh finally figured out our camera LOL. Hoping to bring you all even better quality content as we continue this journey! Much Love!!!!

I had a baby about a year ago and some days I feel I’m still having postpartum. Being a mom is so hard some days. But so rewarding. You got this girl! Love you guys!!❤️

Poppy is adorable. She is so lucky to have parents like josh and abbie!

You probably won't even see this comment but on the off chance you do, have you tried swaddling her arms? My daughter would always wake herself up with her startle reflex and swaddling her arms in helped so much! Also you're doing a wonderful job and being a mom is tough! Not every day is easy but every day is so worth all of the effort we put in. 💗💗💗

You're doing great mama. You are enough. Remember, a shower is not "a break" it is a basic human need. Keep making time for yourself in whatever way fills your spirit!

I remember bringing my daughter home from hospital. My husband literally dropped us off and left for work. I put the car seat on the coffee table and thought, ‘what do I do with you now?’ I had no nieces or nephews. She was my first diaper change. Where I live public health nurses make a home visit to check on you a few days after birth. Some people find those visits intrusive. I was ready with my long list of questions. My daughter did not take to breast feeding. I felt guilt. I had an awesome doctor that said formula today is engineered to be so close to breast milk. As long as baby is fed. Long story but my daughter is an adult. She’s beautiful, healthy and successful. I had 3 more boys after her and was a lot more calm and prepared. It’s all good mama - you got this.

It gets so much better Abbie, before you know it she is 6 mths then planning her first birthday, and when you have 3 grown kids 32,28,23 yes I would not change a thing oh yes to hold them as babies again ❤️

This is SO refreshing!! I'm 12 week postpartum and so often I scroll through Instagram and see these "perfect" mothers and it is so hard not to compare yourself. The newbrown stage is HARD. It doesn't make you less thankful or in love with your baby to have moments of struggle. Thank you for your transparency.

Abby ur legit the prettiest with of without makeup . And im not just saying that bc im a fan but its absolutely true i love u and Josh ur the best people ever.

My mom was helping me a TON the first 3 months after my son was born. She made that time sooo much easier. I can’t imagine what I would have done without her…

You are such a great mom already. Motherhood fits you. It comes easily to you and you are so comfortable with her. Love to see that. You two are so beautiful together.

When the door randomly opened 😳💀

You are a great mama to Poppy

Ha welcome to motherhood. Being overwhelmed as a first time mom is normal, it’s called the baby blues they happen the first 6 weeks postpartum…your hormones are trying to begin to regulate, no sleep, breastfeeding and learning about baby.

This makes me feel not alone 😭 I had my son June 12th and it’s really been so stressful, especially at night. Thank you for sharing this 🥺❤️

Abbie you seem to be doing great keep it up, it gets better a little more every day. Our first child was c-section bit we had a bad doctor and there was a good chance it could have been a normal birth but he was in a hurry and said baby was breach which the nurse questioned, but he ignored her and did a c- section anyways we both freaked and the worst part was the incention he did he cut her straight up which is not good .it cuts across muscle. Took a long time to heal. But You will get through this stay strong and always if you need it ask for help. Good luck Abbie

Omg... I Love your family so much🥺 You are sooo cute!!!! I was watching you when you pranked Josh all the time and you were always asking for a baby🥺🥺🥺🥺

Thank you for being real. You so got this mama ❤️ One day at a time! Before you know it the week flew by, then a month. I had my first baby 8.5 weeks ago. Can’t believe it! Still feel like I just gave birth ( mentally ) lol 4th trimester is so real! Do one thing every day that makes you happy. I try to go on a walk, or the store while baby naps and daddy can watch her. And girl that makes such a difference! I hate leaving her but I miss her so much when I go. Love your little fam bam! So adorable❤️❤️❤️

I can't wait to go home with my baby boy had him last Monday he was a month early at 8lbs 1 oz!💕

Your such an amazing person I’ve been here since day one I was so happy that you’re going to become a mom I knew you’re gonna be such a great mom and I knew it your a great mom! you inspire many women.

YOU ARE SO STRONG & A GREAT MOM💪🏼💗 ~Love From Another Lifestyle KZfaqr🌿☀️

Loved loved loved this video. You explained it all so well, my son is 14 months and I had an emergency C-section. I'm dead jealous of how much you get from hospital, we don't get that here. Postpartum is so real and it can come back so if you start to struggle reach out, I'm always here if you need someone to talk to. Yes it's so so hard but your doing an amazing job and Poppy is so beautiful. ❤️

When the door opened I was like what in The Conjuring....

As someone who babysat for over 12 years and 3 were newborns... I also helped a ton in my moms preschool as well... I was NOT mentally ready for a newborn. Postpartum was so much harder than expected. I didn’t want an epidural but after 7 hours of back to back contractions I gave in. I got the epidural. I ended up with a spinal headache even though I never sat up and I laid down like I was supposed to. Anyway after my delivery I was told to get help to the bathroom my first 3 trips, I’d drank a ton of water because of the headache. On my second trip my nurse said I could walk alone and that I’d be ok. I decided to call for a nurse anyway to be safe on my 3rd trip. I waited 45 min in bed trying to get help to pee, no one was coming... my husband was passed out and I didn’t want to wake the baby so I only yelled a few times across the room which didn’t wake him. So I walked myself to the bathroom, was in the middle of trying to put that postpartum diaper on and I slipped bad and straight on my stitches, not to mention the second I hit the floor a sharp shooting pain went to my head, the spinal headache was the worst. I cried out in pain. A nurse finally came running in, so did my husband. My leg didn’t fully recover for almost a year from that fall. The headache lasted 3 days I could barely have my eyes open, I ended up needing a procedure called a blood patch, which is another needle in your back to try and help the pressure in your spinal cord. I remember when we realized I needed the blood patch and that my headache wasn’t getting better... The anesthesiologist said I’d be fine overnight and to wait until morning. So I was in pretty bad pain all night from my leg and still my head. Then the anesthesiologist finally shows up around noon, as he’s putting in the needle I remember it hurting and feeling like he was poking to the side and not in the center, I just remember him snapping at me and saying “didn’t you just have a baby?”. Basically implying a needle shouldn’t hurt at all. I was so angry I had to wait the extra day in pain, then he took his time with the patch just to show up, then was rude during the procedure. I work in the medical field so poor bedside manners has always pissed me off when patients are in pain. Now being on the other side you realize what a difference it makes to have good providers. I never sued the hospital for my fall, I told the nurse I wouldn’t, I was upset, she wasn’t the greatest from the beginning, I just hoped this incident kind of scared her straight. I had no idea recovery would be such a long road. It was a brutal first few days. Then I get home and everything overall was great but day 5 my milk came in, my breasts were engorged and I had to wake up every 2 hours to nurse. I had no idea how exhausted I’d be. I’d have family come to help but really it was more hold the baby while he slept. I really needed someone to help with the dishes and laundry, gosh overnight would have been amazing. So much of postpartum is left to the moms. It is hard. It is exhausting. Sending you the best of luck Abbie. It does get better, so much better.

You know what we need! A family intro!!

That door sliding open on its own gave me chillllls

❤️ , I just got home today after 6 days in the hospital I was induced unexpectedly last Wednesday at 36 weeks due to high blood pressure and my beautiful baby boy is only 5 lbs but doing great it's amazing difficult and emotional being a new mom especially when the birth is unexpected and/or traumatic!

Loving the honesty. Motherhood is unpredictable and everyone has an opinion on what you should do but you find your method and if it works hang on to it for dear life lol. Two best pieces of advice I received was to allow my girls to gradually self soothe. A few grumbles and cries are okay, I used to put story tapes on low in the background, even from very young. The second was given when they were a little older and that was "pick your battles". I use this mantra even to this day and theyre now 15 and 17 precocious girls. We all have our own ideas about discipline, good behaviour etc etc but, not all the small battles have to be fought to the bitter end. Best advice I ever received. Hang in the Abbie and all new parents on here. Just do you ❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏

Thank you for this video Abby, it's so important to talk about these things. I'm sure you help other moms to open up and feel better! Also, Josh being there for you that much time is amazing. Even though I'm far from pregnancy, my mom always tells me tips during some conversations, and you strictly need some weeks as much rest as possible, even if you feel good, you have to be careful with what you do and don't think you can rush into things, your body has gone through a lot, give it time. Keep up Abby, I love you all very much! And good luck to any new moms out there ❤️

Abby preaching on breast feeding vs bottle 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 it doesn’t matter as long as baby is getting fed :) thank you!

IS NO ONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE DOOR OPENING BY ITSELF 💀💀

Awww your a wonderful mother, love you guys so much, poppy is so cute and lovable! Such an amazing family 💕

Can we please see what the C-section scar looks like? I’m having twins and may need a C-section. Kinda scared. So happy everything has gone smoothly for you! And poppy is so precious! 💗

it’s so hard to explain feeling alone when you’re surrounded by people. i feel this.

👏👏More moms should tell the truth about their real life with a baby!So important that you've done it! 💙

Is the singing the intro song everytime i watch one of the new videos for me 😆😆😆

In Australia we have the baby the second the baby is born. I think it is a much better situation. It gets you much more prepared for going home.

You are a great mom! Keep up the good work😘 and don’t forget that we love you and that we support you no matter what ❤️💋

I love poppy’s cry in the intro!🥰

Life is too short so get it done when you get it done

Your not the only one Abbie! I think every woman has that mental break down after birth. That door was creepy! You should definitely "try" to be away as early as possible to get a few hours, make an appointment with your loved ones to watch poppy for you. If you wait too long your guilt when leaving her will get sooo bad. Especially if you plan on going back to work. Poppy reminds me of my daughter, she will start hitting you with her face, like baby headbutting - really hurts!

Congratulaion.😍😍 she is soo cute Who experience post partum depression.. i suffered for one year every day going through fears distrucrtion and sadeness. I hope you enjoy motherhood.

Wow, kudos to that hospital. Where I had both of my kids they didn't help at all and my daughter had colic and I was alone and so scared.

Ummm the door opening by itself!! Did the air turn on or something? Good job getting off the pain meds!! When I was in the hospital for 2 open heart surgeries in a row I got hooked on pain meds and detoxed in the hospital. It was horrible. I was an addict in the past tho….so I get hooked very easily …and my tolerance is crazy!!

I had a baby two days after you, am glad you doing well keep going mama

Love you guys never stop doing what you love

Motherhood suit you so much 😍❤

Thank God the pregnancy was fine and both mom and baby are healthy. That's all important. 🥰

You will figure out your rhythm! Postpartum is no joke and can feel very lonely. You guys are still figuring each other out. You will get there!

The god damn door omgggg

Such an amazing mommy

Being a new mom is hard, aside from the sleepless nights you're going to experience a lot of changes from within. I had a really hard time with dealing with all the problems like hair loss, weight gain, and self doubt. I tried a lot of supplements to help and the one that really worked for me are Baby Blues vitamins! It's just recommended to me by a friend and I hope I can share it with everyone who's reading.

OMG THE DOOR HAHHAAH LOVE U POPPY JAMES!!!!

Can some just say how kind she is to poppy and how she try to be a good mum

Thanks for being so real and transparent ❤️

Honey, you were born to do this! I love that you were blessed with a great pregnancy and that you’re recovering so speedily!! Postpartum is ABSOLUTELY one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Don’t beat yourself up, you’re doing your best! It’s an extreme shock to the system, all of it! The hormones and stresses and the sheer overwhelming joy that is new motherhood! Love felt so deeply it seems unrealistic almost. Waves of gratitude “luckiest woman in the world” feelings shortly interrupted by thoughts like “am I capable of this?”…(you are, btw)… whew, that rollercoaster…best ride of your life though so, hold on tight! You got this!! My sincere congratulations on your beautiful miracle. You’re now a lovely family of 3💝🙏🏻☀️

The glow up Abbie have. You're so pretty 😍

The way my heart dropped when that door opened 😱😱😱
