Y'all are precious and doing a great job. That is one very lucky and very cute baby.

What a great authentic conversation! You are doing a GREAT job! My kids are all grown, Im here to tell you that it gets better! Love you guys!

I’m a mom to a 2.5 year old and a 9 month old. Postpartum for my first, I had three SUPER hard weeks from weeks 3-6 with PURPLE crying, but then it was smooth sailing. With my second, it was SO much harder- I had SCARY thoughts and the hormones were INSANE. You are not alone and it does get better ❤

This is soooo relatable. We are now 5 months in and those hard newborn days/nights are starting to blur! It is so much easier and so much more sleep in a few months! Y’all got this!!! You are doing amazing and don’t feel guilty for feeling like it is hard.. it is hard!

You’re doing exactly what you should be doing for your little family. It’s a pleasure to watch your journey thus far. The best is yet to be ❤

Remember you guys are also exhausted you r loving great humans❤❤❤

You guys are precious!

Also, the baby squeaks are literally the cutest thing ever!!!! 🥺 My little girl grunted a lot lol they are all so unique.

I pray you guys can drown out the hate and the judgment from other people. It’s absolutely ridiculous how people act sometimes! Every child is different and every parent is different. So we’re gonna do things differently. And then you adapt based on your child and their needs and their personality. I was going to comment on the bath thing. I viewed baths as more of a nightly routine to get ready for bed. It helped my child to get on a good schedule for sleeping. It helped him wind down and you know comfort him into that sleeping time. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t! Love you guys!!

Hello from Ontario 👋🏻❤️!! I'm a mom of a 3.5 year old and am currently 36 weeks, I've loved getting to follow along on your journey in pregnancy, I'm a couple months behind you all and it's given me so much to look forward to. I've been so excited for you all the whole time! And honestly I appreciate so much the vulnerable shares. I know some people don't want to share how hard it is, I felt like maybe I just had a really hard time the first month because its not talked about really how hard it is? Though I kid you not my experience with the first month or two with my first little girl was almost identical, it was so beautiful and honestly the hardest thing I've ever done, I would say harder than the birth lol! I've never been so tired. A few times I literally thought I couldn't do it. God really held me through that time, thankfully, and my little girl and my husband. You guys are an amazing family, and I wish you only the best!! Thank you again for your content, and for glorifying God through it all. So thankful. Lots of love coming from up North ☺️🇨🇦❤

Mom of a 4yo and a 3 month old, who also doesnt live near any family, and just wanna send some encouragement your way: IT WILL GET BETTER! Every month/year just gets better and better. The first 4 months are the hardest and then it's just absolute fun. Thank you for being so open about your postpartum experiences because I felt the same way with both kids. Also, don't fret about not preparing for baby. There's no way you could prepare. The best learning is on the go, and you guys are doing great! He is so lucky to have you as parents!

As my mom tells me, this is the hardest job you'll ever love. You guys are rocking this and the love you have for Shelton and one another really shows. I praise you two and send you so much love! ❤️

You're keeping it real. Love you guys! Someday he will be 20 and this will be a memory. I love how grateful you guys are. I love how you look after your souls as you walk this new path. Beautiful family. Beautiful podcast.

My baby girl is 11 weeks and I could not relate more to everything you said. I will say, I think we are turning a corner now. She is starting to be happier and very fun. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. You’re not alone and it does get better overtime! 💕

You guys are doing a great job with your new precious bundle. Signed a Nana in KC ❤

Love you guys

Oh my goodness! I looooved this episode so much! You all 4 seem to vibe so well together! I love it. Again! Hahaha❤

I'd like to say thank you for your podcast. It has given me the courage to get back to my faith. After straying a bit while going through infertility and miscarriages.

Same girl

I started laboring at 5 am and kept feeling contractions throughout the day and i lost my mucus plug. Since my third was induced i had forgot how labor was supposed to go 😅 and kept thinking my contractions were too mild and inconsistent to be actual labor. Finally around 7 i decided to go to the hospital but I wasn't in a rush because i didn't think they would let us stay so i showered and we ate and put our kids to bed then got to the hospital at 10pm. I was already 6 cm 😅😅 and she was born 3.5 hours later. I'm glad i decided to go cuz if i would've ignored it she would've been born at home lol

Yep, the first 16 hours was fine. The last 8 were exactly like this with the added bonus of extreme thigh pain/weakness. Didn't expect that. 😂

With my last I went all natural and I definitely wasn't expecting at the very end when I was ready to push to feel the contractions in my right kidney. It felt with every contraction that my kidney was being twisted in my back. That was insanely intense. With my first 2 I didn't really get that and I had got epidurals with them.

Oh well that’s what my period cramps feel like anyway so birth is gonna me a breeze 🙃

❤🎉🎉

I can't speak from personal experience, but that sounds very similar to how my mother and my sister-in-law describe their labor.

Oof, yeah with my first one my water broke early so there was no cushion of amniotic fluid, my baby's head was pushing on my bones So Hard.

We need a story on how these two met!

I never got swollen at all in my first pregnancy, but as soon as we got home from the hospital it was intense. My husband had me watch RUclips videos of obese safari animals. (Animated, not real of course) I laughed so hard(which is very painful if when you tear). 9 years ago and still a great memory. So happy for you both and that baby got here safely. Sarah, you're amazing. Good going.

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your very personal experience with all of your “friends” who have loved watching this journey in your lives. Being parents is the best and hardest job with the most long lasting rewards. My oldest two are now in college and watching and listening to your first birth story reminded me of my first child’s birth. It doesn’t feel like that long ago yet also how did the years fly by so fast?! So excited and happy for you guys!

Your baby is gorgeous❤

Congratulations to you both

Wow! I have watched you on TT for a while but you just popped up on here. Talk about self-control! I’m so blessed to hear your story!

I can confirm that it is the hardest transition of your life that you can't prepare yourself for. All in the best ways too lol. It'll get better I promise! I have a toddler now and I can look back and say wow we did it. Every stage is so much fun. I constantly find myself saying wow I love this stage haha

Congratulations! I’m new here and new to your website. I’m enjoying all of your content. Much love to all!

“Let it rip” and then moved the microphone 😂😂😂

Omg the IV was honestly the worst part! Everything else was totally fine lol I had 9 different spots where they tried to put it in and I don’t even have bad veins. One nurse blew my vein and my arm swelled up. They had to have anesthesiology come in and place it with an ultrasound and thank goodness for them lol I had horrible bruises for a month afterwards 🫠

Agree, the IV sucks! I did the same thing. I must have asked 100 times. I had a c-section and it was impossible to get up and move with that joker in my hand. Finally my doctor took it out himself that night!

Baby noises!! They are the BEST!! Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈 He’s perfect!! 😍

See I felt labor IN MY BUTT, low low belly and low back, but mostly butthole lol

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing your birth story with us! Congratulations and sending best wishes for happy days, with some sleep mixed in!😊

Was it painful when they checked you first time??

Okay but how was having contractions in an Uber?!?!

When I delivered my baby, I was in labor for 13 hours and pushed for 15 minutes. What surprised me the most was that I was not in any pain; everything went very smoothly. I pretty much slept or was in the tub.

I had IV in my hand for first baby and antibiotics for GBS and it was really the worst. Getting IV/antibiotics in my arm (instead of my hand) for second baby was WAY better in my experience.

I am a physical touch person and my husband and mom were both ready to massage and I did not want to be touched. I just wanted my husband's hand and to focus on his voice.

my hospital made me sit down as the husband before they'd do the epidural bc so many people faint when they watch it go in.

So fun to watch this. Shelton is an answer to prayer! <3

It's so crazy to me how so many woman have to push for so long. With each of my kids it was like 2 minutes or less of pushing. My brother's wife was pushing for hours.

I’VE NEVER CLICKED SO FAST, CONGRATULATIONS

Loved hearing your experience! Can’t wait to hear more about this new season! My baby just turned one on 10/15/2024 and being a momma has been magical, challenged me in ways I never new possible, allowed me to grow, and feel a love for someone like being a momma. ❤
