About Sierra and Stephen IRL
Hey friends! I’m Sierra Schultzzie and this is my vlog channel with my husband, Stephen. We started vlogging 5 years ago to document planning our wedding and growing together as a young married couple, and the channel has now really become our passion project. We love creating travel vlogs, disneyland vlogs, showing behind the scenes of creating my fashion and lifestyle videos, and all the little ups and downs of our unfiltered, real life. We loved documenting our journey trying to concieve and getting pregnant, are now so happy to be sharing our experience as first time parents to our daughter, Grace.

3min into this video I started tearing up at how absolutely beautifully ROCK SOLID Stephen was as a partner in that moment. I am so happy for you guys that everything went well in the end, and I can only hope to find the kind of love your family shares with each other, even in the midst of stressful situations. Congrats and I wish you well on the new journey of having multiple littles in your life 💕🥰💕

And I know you said you were apprehensive about your life changing but from my personal experience and that of many parents I've talked to, I think your best days are yet to come. There is something SO SO special about seeing your kids interact when they don't know you're watching/there. I think you and Stephen will really really love it. Sending you all the best!

I was induced last year unexpectedly at 37weeks. I suddenly was having terrible headaches and brain fog at 35 weeks and was hospitalized 3 times for stroke level blood pressure and was diagnosed with gestational hypertension. I was put on blood pressure medicine to manage it until my induction at exactly 37weeks. I delivered a healthy 7lb 14oz baby boy.

I’m sobbing watching this. If I hadn’t seen her on your instagram yesterday before I watched this, I would be losing my mind right now. I went through something very similar twice; once baby didn’t make it, and the second time he did. After that I was through having babies because my heart could not take this kind of breaking again. I’m so so so glad you and she are okay Sierra… “parasocial” be danged, you and your family are real people and I felt your fear and stress through the lens. I actually love you guys, and I’m so happy Alice is safe and sound in your arms. 🩷🩷🩷

My baby is 5 months old today so I was just in your shoes! I was doing SO MUCH prep/nesting and had a super long list exactly like that. But one day I felt like mostly everything mandatory was done, and I told him to please come early and he did at 38 weeks 😅 And I was freaking out about who would look after our 4 year old but thankfully it all worked out. You got this! Also, I tested positive for Group B Strep both pregnancies and had to get super painful injections of antibiotics and I felt similarly, like “If I’m complaining about ONE injection and I’m about to give birth, that’s pretty sad!” haha but it’s all valid. Being a family of four is so much fun and you’ll love it! ❤

Currently 35 + 2 and diagnosed with cholestasis at 32 weeks after me pushing to get tested after having intense night itching for weeks. I now get in office testing twice a week to make sure baby is ok + am scheduled to get induced at 37 weeks. Cholestasis is supposed to be super rare, but I honestly think it is underdiagnosed. Definitely can be scary with some of the limited information out there, but happy to see a positive outcome for you!

Stephen is just the best partner and dad! And you’re the best Mamma too, always thinking of both ur babies first! This is so relatable, I have placenta previa that will probably be a 37/38 week C-section. Thursday night at 31 weeks I had some bleeding and needed to go in for monitoring. They gave me the steroid shots in the bum and let me go after 24 hrs/ the 2nd shot. If baby came that early it would’ve been so scary and nothing would’ve been ready. So I’m glad he’s still chilling inside me for now.
