I'm first-time mom who is 36 weeks pregnant -- I was an only child and I never babysat for babies this young, so I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for videos like this! While I've learned a lot from newborn care classes, it's so much information but no one really goes over how it all FITS TOGETHER. I know this video is old and it was probably just a typical boring day for you, but just know that taking the time to document and talk through it straightforwardly really helped!
Congratulations!! I’m sure you’ll be an amazing mom! So glad the video was helpful. It can be hard figuring out so many new things all at once but you’re not alone❤️
I thought that those were strawberries in your eggs and I was like huh, that's a new one.😂😂😂
Lol ya I haven’t tried that one yet😂
They were in her eggs
Same😂😂😂
Same tho lol
LOL me too hahahha
I was just randomly scrolling and saw this video and decided to watch it. I have one son and he's 41 so it's been a lot of yrs since I was where you are now. I enjoyed your day in the life of a newborn. It's clear that you're happy being mommy and you love your baby very much. Something about this video was comforting and happy. I think you're one of those people who are positive and it draws others to you. I have a sister in law who is very much like that. I love going for a visit to her home. You're doing a wonderful job as a mommy and just keep rocking it. Another thing I've watched other mommy and baby videos and I'm astounded to see all the cool new products that are out there! There are so many useful things that I wish were available when my son was born. I wish you, your baby and your hubs all the best. May the Lord bless each one of you richly
She’s a beautiful, happy baby. It seems like you’ve got mothering down pat. I think it’s great that you read her books to her like 3 times and that you read a bible verse to her every day. God bless!
Thanks, Cindy!! ❤️❤️
The things moms go through... I appreciate my mom now then ever. And am willing to put all my best for the one I’ll see in 8months.
I agree!!! Aww congrats!!!😊👶🏼
I’m due in August so I’ve watched a lot of these day in the life videos and this is the first one that I actually felt was a real insight into what my day will be like. Thank you for sharing!!! You’re doing incredible and you look so happy and beautiful. She is just perfect and I’m so happy for y’all!! 💖
That is so nice of you! Thank you! And congrats on your baby! Yours will be perfect too!💕
I'm due in August this year!
I’m due in August this year also.
@@JTK2Family so cooool! Congratulations!
@@nalves6505 have you had the baby yet!!!
It’s crazy to go back and watch these again. She was so tiny!!! Such a doll! 💖
I don't know how I missed seeing this video months ago. I'm going through all of your previous videos that I haven't seen yet... it's like reminiscing. You're so organized and get so much done in a day (and not just pumping even if it may feel that way). I can't get organized or keep a schedule and I don't even have a newborn. I can't emphasize enough what a beautiful and happy family you are. You and Eric are sweethearts, Ace is so much fun and funny... and Quinn is just precious! Hugs
Aww that makes me happy that you watch the old ones, too! And yes...definitely "feels" like I just pump all day lol! But it's worth it! Thank you so much, Michelle! :)
You are just THE SWEETEST MAMA EVER! I’m 64 and have two adult sons, and I feel the same way about mothering as you do! I just had to reach out and tell you that I feel your precious spirit so strongly through your videos, and it makes my heart smile so BIG! ☺️🥰💖
Your relationship with God is also so visible and precious to me!
I’m blessed by watching your videos!
Many blessings to you and your husband on the birth of your daughter, and may The Lord continue to bless and keep you all, now and forevermore. With so much love! Susan❤️
That was the sweetest comment! Thank you soooo much!❤️❤️
P.S. I’m a Nicu nurse of 35 years so on top of it all seeing your journey through the Nicu with her also made me smile!
God so blessed you both with her precious life 🙏🏼👍🏼☺️
Awww! We loved our NICU nurses. I still miss seeing them haha! Thank you for everything you do... I’m sure you’re an amazing nurse!❤️
So glad I came across your channel, I’m going to be 34 weeks in a couple days and I’m feeling so overwhelmed and nervous about having my first baby, (girl) and seeing you with a routine and that you’re alright makes me able to breathe for some reason, I loved pregnancy but now that it’s coming to an end I feel shooken up because I’ve always thought I’d be the crazy aunt, and I’m scared....But seeing how precious these moments are, and her little life and smiles, makes me unbelievably happy and secure about having my daughter!! I hope I’m a good mother like you are. I hope I handle things well. Hope you are still well. Thanks again for sharing. 💕
Oh wow congrats!! Baby girls are so fun! You’ll do great! It’s a lot of adjusting but once you find your routine you’ll look forward to spending that time with your sweet baby every day!
You’re doing such a great job mama!! She’s so blessed to have you as her mommy!! I’m exclusively pumping to it’s such hard work and I truly admire moms who do it and or nurse directly!
Thank you so much, Jessica!❤️
Quinn is so cute! Hope the few people that read this, have an amazing day/night😊
We moms have a very busy life indeed but full of happiness. I used to be anxiety about caring the baby. Now the sense-u baby monitor helps me. I feel peace of mind.
Hi! I exclusively pump too! A tip to avoid washing the pump after every use, it to put the pump bottles into a ziplock bag and store in the fridge until next use. Then you only need to wash them morning and night :)
Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking I'm just curious why do you pump and not breastfeed? Is it because of mastitis?
@@theblossomingyou1663 no, because my baby boy decided he didn't have time to breastfeed, and just wouldn't latch😅 took the bottle easy peasy, so I pumped. My baby girl breastfeeds np though. :) All babies are different, but it's good to know that pumping is an option before giving into formula
She is such a cutie patootie. I love her smiles. She's a good baby. She's never too young to start learning :)
You all are the sweetest little family. You are killing it in Parenting~true role models!
You’re so sweet! Thanks, Susan!❤️😊
I love how real this video is! We’re expecting our first little baby in 9 weeks, so I’ve been watching a ton of these videos to prepare! 💙☺️
Omg congrats!!! It’s the best thing ever... you’ll be a great mom😊💕
Thank you! We’re excited ☺️💕
I love how Ace is never far away he is so funny he wants you to make a day in the life with Ace ❤️😂
Haha yes, he has to be involved in everything😂❤️
She’s been smiling all day! What a blessing 😍😍
She is growing so fast! Its so bittersweet that they have to grow up. Her smiles & coos were just melting my heart! 💗💗💗
Yesss I can’t believe how fast!
O my God, she is growing so fast & so adorable. Her smiles is just melt my heart 😘
Me toooo💕
I so, so, wish I was blessed with the pain, the stress, the exhaustion, the beauty, the infatuation, the bond, and everything else that comes with pregnancy and bearing and raising a child. With all of the men i’ve dated, none want a child in their 20’s. I’ve looked into IVF but to go at it alone, I would need to be better off financially. I know the day will come and I just am at the edge of my seat. I know there is more to life and I try not to obsess, but something about having a child. I have always felt like I knew it’s something so right for me. I try to live day by day, although it’s very hard to focus on your current goals when having a baby isn’t just something you jump into with anyone. Having a time frame for a baby when you’re not in a relationship isn’t really practical. It’s so heartbreaking to me, honestly. I hope everyone in my position the best future. Also, your baby is just absolutely beautiful. Such a tiny little bean 🥺
Why would you willingly want to raise a child without a father?
@@lanadelkae351 I know i’m stable and reliable. Most men aren’t.
@@katz7 raising a kid purposely without a father is so messed up and selfish. Just because you’re reliable doesn’t mean anything
@@lanadelkae351 You’re delusional
@@katz7 so are you 😂
Laundry will always be there and time with our babies will fly by! Definitely enjoy the time with your baby and leave the laundry and list for later! She is absolutely gorgeous and you definitely are doing a wonderful job ❤️
Thank you!! And yes... so true!
you are such a good mom and OH MY GOSH Quinn is the cutest & sweetest girl ever! your videos make me so excited to be a mom one day 🥰
Aww thanks, Katie! You’ll be the best mom someday I’m sure❤️
Omg hi katie i watch your channel to
@@CaraJane your baby looked so pretty
When I would pump I ended up buying 2-3 sets of parts so I didn’t have to wash them right away. I could even soak them in soapy water too 😊it’s money but it’s worth the investment!
I definitely need to do that!
I love watching this morning routine! It definitely gives me an idea of how I’d like to do a schedule-routine with my little one. ❤️ you guys are adorable and your such a wonderful mama!
I'm due in November with a girl, and these videos make me that much more excited. You're such a cute mom. Gorgeous daughter!
Aww congrats!!! I bet you’ll be an amazing mom!!❤️❤️
@@CaraJane thanks, Hun.. third trimester is getting hard though. Lol
How do you know already?? I'm due in November too but haven't found out the gender yet 🥰🥰 so happy for you and your baby girl, good luck!
This is so lovely!! Love the peek into your day, and the sweet footage of you and Quinn. So nice to see a dose of “real.” Your list doesn’t even seem like you’re trying too hard to overdo it. It’s such a real list. Isn’t it amazing how difficult it can be to accomplish things with a newborn? Really enjoyed this...due with Baby #2 in 2.5 months! 💞💞 brushing up on my newborn things!
Thank you so much… You are so sweet! OMG congrats! Hope everything goes well for you!😊💕
I've been having so much anxiety about having a baby. I'm 3 months pregnant with my first and even though the baby was planned, I have been starting to freak out a bit. For some reason, your videos put me at ease and encourage me that I can do this! Just wanted you to know how much you've helped me, especially as another Christian! 💗
You’re gonna do great!!❤️❤️❤️
If the Blessed Lord is giving you a child to raise, He and His Guardian Angels will be invisibly present to help you accomplish this in your every day!!!
I remembered telling myself “It can’t be so bad, or people wouldn’t do it multiple times!”
Th and you for doing this video.Baby Quinn is adorable, her smiles make my heart melt. Keep up the fantastic loving of your daughter.
Thank you💕💕💕
You are such an incredible mom! Your own mother must be so very proud of you, I know I would be. I started reading to my both my boys when they were in my belly and continued through the years as they got older and they were both accelerated readers in grade school. I built quite a library in their bedrooms by shopping thrift stores and yard sales. On Dec 1 every year they got 25 individually wrapped books and they got to open one per day which ended on Dec 25th. They are now 13 and 23 and both still enjoy reading. Also, all I ever used on both boys was Dove soap (per my pediatrician) and they both still today have the softest skin. Really enjoyed this video, you are doing an amazing job!
Thank you sooo much!❤️
So cute try setting the black and white book open next to her when she is laying on the floor hope you both have a great day
Thank you!! I do try that sometimes and it does help her a little! 😊
She is the cutest, happiest baby I’ve seen. She is so so so cute I can’t even take it. You are blessed.
I remember those 5am days!! Funny how sometimes you remember and miss it! You are a wonderful mom!!
She's gotten so big! My little girl was born around the same time, she wasnt preemie but was small enough to wear preemie for a while. It's so fun to see them grow :)
Aww so cute!! 😊❤️
To save time with pumping, just keep your used parts in a ziploc in the fridge/freezer between sessions and then just wash at night! I've done this for 3 kids now 😊
Quinn's smile melts my heart. Shes so adorable. Your such an amazing Momma Cara. As Always Much Love From. Indiana. Xoxo 😍😘💜
Love your long night shirt, so cute! Quinn is so sweet, love her smiles!! 💕 Ace is such a sweet boy, following you around and having fun! It is good that you guys get outdoors. What Eric said about you is so sweet!!
Thanks, melinda!💕
I don’t know if this is a feasible suggestion for you but I noticed that you use the lansinoh milk bags...if you switched to the lansinoh pump you could pump directly into those bags and have 2 less things to clean. It doesn’t solve all the issues but maybe would save you a little time in the cleaning process if you can afford to switch pumps?
Oh that’s a good idea!! I’ll have to look into that!
Or instead of buying another pump, on amazon they have a box of the storage bags that come with an adapter part so you can pump into the bags. Up to you. She is so cute!
She’s getting so big!! I love her smiles. She’s such a cute baby!!!💕
You are a wonderful mom. Quinn is lucky to have you and Erik.
Thank you❤️❤️
Aww such a cute family 💕 I love watching your videos! Also I think it’s very sweet you read the Bible to your daughter. 💕 So special!!
Thank you so much, Julie! So glad you enjoy the videos!😊❤️
Such a cute Vlog Cara.... You are such good Mommy & planning special time with Quinn for reading & Bible study.... DADDY looks like he soaks up His Quinn time 👍🙂😄
GBY ALL 🙏❤💙💖🧸🤗✝️
Thanks for this! :) My "baby" is now 14, but I had a totally different (chaotic) experience (I was engorged constantly plus she never slept(. It's nice to see how a typical experience really is. You are a great GREAT Mom. It's not boring at all- it's calming. Your Quinn is a sweetheart
I’m so glad you shared this! I’m due in August with my first and I love watching these! As always - Quinn is adorable!! 💜
Aww I bet you’re so excited! Congrats!💕
It’s great that you read to her!! My daughter did this for her babies and both of them love her to read stories them!!!
It's really nice how you read to her and stuff. My mom read to me and I memorized the books. She taught me numbers and letters and a lot of things before kindergarten so when I went for my first day, I already knew everything and most of the other kids didn't know their numbers/letters yet. I was so disappointed that I didn't learn how to READ on the first day of kindergarten lol
That’s such a cute memory!! Yes, I hope she loves books as she grows up!
so interesting to see how much your day changes with a newborn! her little smile is SO cute 🥰
Yesss it's crazy how different it is! But all worth it! ;)
You are an amazing mom! My heart just melts when Qinn smiles. Really enjoyed this vlog.
Thanks, Shelly!
Oh i just love that little smile 🥰 melts my heart! She’s such a sweetie 💕
I'm so happy I found your channel! I was looking for DITL with a Newborn and this was the best one I've found! I love that you show a schedule and exactly what you do during her nap times! It was also nice to see that you have a preemie!! I just had a preemie and she should be coming home in the next couple of weeks so I'm going to be binge watching your videos!!
First of all, congrats on your baby girl!! Hope everything goes well. I'm sure you can't wait to have her home! And so glad you enjoyed the video! :)
That
Baby.
Is
So
CUTE🥺
your baby is soo cute!!!
Thank you!!
I had to exclusively pump for my NICU baby too. And yes! 7 pumps a day gets old so fast. I ended up buying 7 sets of milk containers and flanges for my pump from facebook marketplace, so I would only have to wash the little rubber pieces each time. It worked great but took up lots of space in dishwasher each night! It was worth it for me, I hated washing the parts by hand
Its nice to actually see your daily life with a newborn helps me prepare for my 2nd baby she’ll be here in 2 weeks or less 🤰🏻🎀
I always enjoy your videos. Quinn is so adorable I know I say this every time but she is doing so well and it's all because of you Cara, you feed your baby the way you want to. I just love your dog too. 🐕💙👶💕
Thank you sooo much for always being encouraging!❤️
You’re doing a great job! I’m amazed. You’re very well organized and I’m sure that helps.
Thank you!!😊
Quinn is so adorable! I love her precious smiles!💜
her smile 😻😂 she’s so perfect 🥺🥺
Her smile is the sweetest ❤️
Soo I'm watching all of your videos from the beginning, and I hope it's not weird that I'm going to comment on older videos..
James is one of my favorite books of the Bible! I'm so inspired to read Bible verses to my baby girl 🥰 Quinn in her Llama pjs 😍😍
Firstly yay love when you upload, secondly your editing is amazing.
You and Quinn in the opening scene pull at my heartstrings and later on her little giggle/squealing sounds. Makes me want a baby so bad but that's definitely a thing for the future.
At least I can live vicariously through your beautiful family.
p.s you look so amazing for recently giving birth :)
Aww you are seriously so sweet! Thanks for the nice comment!💕
@@CaraJane No, thank you for sharing such beautiful moments in these videos.
Instead of the citronella candles, you might want to try getting some citronella plants and spanish lavender plants for a "cleaner" option, and your deck will smell amazing 24/7..
My sister just told me about citronella plants today! So crazy! I definitely need to get some of those! Thank you😊😊
I really admire the consistency of your schedule. I’m a first time mom to a 2 month old and it’s really hard for me to set a schedule and stick to it. I kinda wing it everyday lol also Quinn is growing so beautifully!
Aww that’s so sweet! I definitely don’t feel consistent sometimes but I do try! I feel like I’m just winging it a lot of the time too tho haha!😊
She's so cute it hurts!! Seems like she always had little smile on her face! I love seeing her grow! Oh and your second baby Ace is really cute too haha.
Moms are angels
she is so freaking adorable! BABY FEVER! Love her🤍🤍
Quinn is sooo cute😍shes growing up soo fast. Editing on point👍
I love that nightgown!, and you’re doing a great job, thanks for the real perspective.
Thanks, Katie!!💕
I am due at any time now. I love this video, and the fact you do bible time with her. Thank you for sharing.
Aww she is so adorable!! I love you pray over your baby and read the bible! I love James 1 too!
Aweeee!! She's such a happy babyy!! ❤❣ tooooo cutee. She's beautiful. Bless your beautiful family. And I wish you guys the best in everything.
Thank you, raven!!❤️
Quinn is so adorable. Could you do her morning and night routine. I love your videos and you and Quinn. Her little smiles are so cute.
Yes I have that on my list to film!!😊❤️ thanks, robin!!
Quinn is so adorable! I love all the nice pictures and the beautiful music and cards in all your videos. My videos are never that nice!
You’re so sweet! Thank you!!!
i love your editing!! it's so beautiful & aesthetic! you should do a makeup/hair video! people would definitely watch that! :)
Aww thank you!! I’ll put those on my list!😊
@@CaraJane yeah!
Her editing is A1 👌
I love when you do a day in the life/a week in the life! Great video! Quinn is too cute!!!
I love it too!!
Yay! So glad you like them!!
Thank you so much for sharing! Ive been struggling with breast feeding & was nervous about using a breast pump but your routine incorporated the whole process and actually helped me to get started💕 All the best to you & your lovely family!
New subscriber! I love that you read bible verses!! I have a newborn and I didn't know what to do with him besides feeding and sleeping 😩. Thank you for your video.
Yay welcome! Congrats on your newborn! And yes, it can be hard to know what to do all day with them sometimes!❤️
I’m 17 weeks pregnant... I’m learning a lot of tips and tricks to take care our future baby from newborn baby vlog... Thanks for Sharing this video...
Congratulations! I'm sure you'll be the best mom! ;)
@@CaraJane Thank you
She is soo tiny!!What a cute tiny little bug awww🥰🥰
She is so adorable!! And I think she looks like both of you!
If you don’t already have one, boppy makes a waterproof cover. I keep mine on underneath the cover, and it’s been the best thing ever for spit up and blow outs
Oh I didn’t know that! Definitely need one of those haha! Thank you!😊
This makes me so much more excited 🥺 one month left 🙌
Congrats!!! SO exciting! ;)
OHMYGOD! She's gotten so big!!! I'm so proud of her! Go Quinn, go!
She’s growing so fast!!😊
I know how small she was when she was born. I'm just happy that she's healthy. That's all.
She is such beautiful baby, and you are a great mom! It is true they grow way to fast! My son was also a preemie (8 weeks early) and weighed only 3lbs 1oz.
Thank you! Omg so sweet! ❤️😊
@@CaraJane
When I was watching your video, I was like "wow," Quinn really looks like her daddy! ❤
I love these vlogs so much! I can’t wait for my baby girl to be born! 🤍
Awww so exciting!!! I bet she’ll be adorable!💕❤️
Remember that your daughter is already hearing and recognizing your voice while in utero. It is never to soon to speak lovingly to her!
I have that same swaddle and it’s the best thing ever!!
Definitely thought you were putting strawberries in your eggs at first. 🤦♀️ Thank you for sharing this! So helpful to see what your schedule looks like at this age!
Another great video! I enjoy your videos because there is a variety of things to enjoy...cutest baby:) cutest dog, sweetest couple and I love you sharing your food prepping. Something for everyone! Thank you for what all you put into your videos!
That makes me so happy! Thank you!!!!❤️
Omg I remember those blowouts! I've never had my own kids but I worked with infants at a daycare.There was one time where one of the babies crawled over to the tree on playground and just exploded on it..yes the tree.Its terrible in the moment but funny later! 😄
Just found your channel and I’m going to be a FTM in a few weeks so I’m obsessively watching your videos 😂 Anyway just wanted to say thank you for this day in the life one because I was not going to get a boppy pillow, but when I saw how you use it to sit up your girl when feeding playing etc I was like oh yes I need one of those!
Aww hi! Congrats on your baby! Glad you enjoyed the video, and yes...I couldn’t live without my boppy haha! 😊💕
she is a happy baby but she is also the cutest baby ever.
I agree haha!❤️
haha i am actually shocked that you replied and i am on my crome book and i can not figure out the imogies haha
@Yo Opp yeah haha
She’s such a smiley baby 😍
Yes she is😊😊😊
Hey Cara!
Just finished this this video while pumping! I totally feel ya when it comes to exclusively pumping. It is such a full-time job! Happy that I can make Leo milk, but it would for sure be so much easier if I just could breastfeed or give formula. But, I will continue as long as I can because, I know it's best for him and his little immune system too! When it comes to the pump and washing the parts everytime, you are doing it perfectly! I wash all of my stuff every single time too! It is the most safe and sanitary way to do it! Okay, enough about the making milk life haha! I loved your video, Quinn is so precious! Love all her little noises. She does AMAZING at tummy time! That neck strength is sooo good! We slack at doing tummy time too, but our babies will get to everything and develop just fine on their own terms! You are such a good mama and I'm so glad I found your videos! Hope all is good and well, love you guys!
All the best,
-Clarissa 😊❤🥰
You always leave the most encouraging comments! Glad I have someone to relate to out there haha! Thank you so much, Clarissa!❤️
@@CaraJane Oh my goodness, you are so welcome. You are the sweetest! I am always here whenever you want to talk! I don't have any form of social media but snapchat (social media isn't for me), but if you want to add me, you totally can. cleeclee2013 is my name on there. 😊
Aww thank you!!
@@CaraJane ❤❤❤
Personally, I think you're right to clean your pump parts after each feed! Made my skin crawl at the thought of not doing it! There could be who knows what bacteria, if left all day!! Oh my goodness I've heard it all now!! Sorry but this has shocked me!! haha As in the U.K we seem to sterilise EVERYTHING!! OK off my soap box lol It was great to have my fix of Quinn's gorgeous smile today!! Also she's doing fab with her tummy time!! Much love to you all & stay safe Jacq from the U.K
Haha well thank you!! We think we’re making the right choice by staying on the safe side😂
I finally have found someone with the same name as me!!
@@jacquelynlemieux Hey how fab !! Are you a Jacqueline ? lol Much love Jacq
Jacq Winstanley Haha yes! I’m a Jacquelyn but I go by Jacq and I haven’t met another Jacquelyn/Jacqueline that goes by just Jacq, it’s always Jacque/Jackie! So i’m very excited!! Much love to you as well!!
@@jacquelynlemieux I've never met another Jacq either!! and I hate Jackie in any form, even though my older relatives still insist on calling me that, as that's what they called me as a child, that or Jacqueline, which I don't mind BUT NOT Jackie!!! haha LOVE how you or I should say lol your parents spelt Jacquelyn!! Much love Jacq
Quinn is a beautiful baby. She is such a good baby! Growing like a weed. God Bless her and your sweet family!🙏🏻💞
I have a preemie and exclusively pump as well. It took a couple try’s to get the coordination down but I pump at the same time I give my son his bottle. Saves me so much time especially at night. I just position the boppy off center on my hip and he lays in front of me like I’ve seen you hold Quinn and his feet rest on my chest but he’s laying on one end of the boppy instead of the center. Hope that makes sense.
I do the same
Quinn is so beautiful!! ❤️🥺
Oh my gosh, I looked back at the vlog the first time I was interested in your youtube,, very real, fun, and so cute. At that time I watched while I was pregnant. I hope you all are always healthy and I always wait for your other vlogs.
Hai! From Indonesia...😁
She looks just like her daddy ❤️
