I feel like I’ve seen Nicole in so many stages in her life on this here RUclips…and this stage by far is one of my favorites. She’s never looked more beautiful to me! Watching her and her family just out here living really just puts a spark of joy in me….143 💞 blessings to you and your family!
I 100% agree. I remember so many times I said she was never gonna have a baby. Or when she said she was never gonna get married. But you know what it’s all about growing up stages in our life and just because you say something back then doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to change your mind and your opinion like so beautiful it still
The part where Jeremy describes the miscarriage emotions means so much. We rarely hear the husbands perspective. It means a lot that y’all shared this with us.
Miscarriages at 8 weeks. Kai born on the 28th and being 8 pounds even. It was all meant to be. I know you like Angel number 11:11 but 888 means “Balance- everything falling into place as it was meant to be” 💙
Yes! I believe in the angel numbers. I tracked ovulation & got a positive on 5.11 which is 2 months from our 11th year anniversary on 3.11.10 & I got the first positive pregnancy test on 5.21.21. I knew that cycle worked because of our numbers & she’s such a blessing 😭.
Why is nobody talking about how when she called J & the baby was crying that he didn’t call her to rush her , he tried to handle it without bothering her 😭♥️ you guys are so lucky to have each other! So happy for you!
Jeremy’s admiration when Nicole said “I would’ve cut off my arm and leg to get this baby” 💙 You can tell he understands her sacrifice and is so grateful!
We can clearly see Jeremy was the cutest baby ever because Kai is his twin and omg he's adorable! btw what a lucky little boy to have you two as his parents.
I literally wanted to cry when y’all were laying on the bed and baby boy was talking to you. Just melted my heart. I’ve been watching for almost ten years now… you have grown into such a beautiful human being. So happy that you still share aspects with us. Remember to soak in every moment 💕
This is a Gerber baby ... he has the absolute CUTEST face!!! You two are great parents and still so loving toward your cats. ❤❤❤ Congratulations to the happiest couple in Florida ❣❣
I’ve watched you for years. I’m currently going through my second miscarriage and was feeling very depressed. Seeing you play with your baby and talk about your losses makes me feel like there is hope for me. I really appreciate you opening up about such an emotional topic. It helps so many
I’d say both you and Jeremy are quite lucky to have found each other so young. You have made a beautiful little boy. So amazing and refreshing to see all the love
Idk why but when you were sitting at the target parking lot and started debating on whether you should go in because you were enjoying the quiet , it just hit me on an emotional level. I just started crying because I’ve been there. I’d literally find any excuse to go to the bathroom just so I could be alone. I had the worst ppd for like 2 years. It’s hard sometimes mama but you got this 💓
I started watching her when she reviewed a L’Oréal mouse foundation and ever since I’ve been hooked. Seen her in her old room with a pole, worked as a bartender, brief breakup with Jay, went red and now look at them! It’s insane to see them both grow their relationship and family. So proud of all your growth while still maintaining a humble and down to earth personality. Happy for you and you’re family ♥️ your OG subscriber
I know everyone is saying “hold on, it gets better” with regards to breastfeeding. But I only breast fed for 6 months. Called it quits and was SO happy once I was done lol and that’s ok too 🤣🤣 breast feeding isn’t for everyone and as long as your baby is fed ( whatever way you choose to feed him) that’s all that matters 🥰 you’re doing great Nicole and you look amazing 🤩 blessings to you and your beautiful family 💜
Nicole I’ve quite literally grown up with you. My husband and I started dating in ‘09, I started watching you in 2012, my hubby and I got married November 7 of 2020, and then we had our first baby girl November of 2021. I’ve so enjoyed going through all of life’s biggest joys right along with you. I wish you guys all the happiness in the world!
Jeremy has a heart of gold. I cried more than once during the story just listening to how sweet you both are. So incredibly happy for both of you. I've been watching since the red hair days 🥰 143....3!!! 💙💙💙
I really admire NICOLE & JEREMY so much. This story made me emotional. I never had a miscarriage but, I did lose my baby boy Devon a day before my birthday. He was only 10 months. I never thought I wanted to have another child and especially during this tragedy but I just wanted to have a baby so bad, made a better decision and I found my soulmate, got married, and waited 3 years and now I have a beautiful baby boy named BASH. Now we are having a baby girl named ZAMORA :) Keep trying and don't give up.
I love that she’s a normal mom and not like some of the other influencers who rush to workout and lose tons of weight that makes us normal moms feel like even more crap. Thank you for being down to earth and normal and we love you! I’m right here with you struggling to lose the extra baby weight
Birth isn't easy, whatever you went through or how your baby arrived. It is a rough ride, emotionally and physically and really tests yours and your partners character. Sounds like you both were lucky to have each other and your story was beautiful. Also can relate with the feeling of being tied down with breastfeeding. It's a hard but rewarding slog and there is so much emotion surrounding it. I quit at 6 months and was in tears. I'd had pumped 2 months worth of milk and my baby had that, I still felt guilty but now I look back I am so damn proud of myself. No matter if you did it for a few weeks, a few months or a few years it is hard work. You are doing the best you can and that is amazing!
100% can relate. I had twins thru IVF born at only 27 weeks. It can be so traumatic. And I totally understand on feeling bad afterward about not really understanding how precious life is and how much people go through to have a baby. Changed my view on a lot of things in life for the better!!!
I have grown up watching this women, working at a club to being a full blown mom. The uncontrollable tears that fell down my face as you told your story. I’m so so happy for you two ! Thats a cute freakin nugget !! May light shine through your home always 🤍🧿
"I thought I was gonna die" literally couldn't have said it better! I felt I died as well and woke back up when they put baby on my chest. Its why I only had 1 child and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. Not all birthing stories are the same.
Oh my goodness Nicole 😢4:50 I was in tears thank you so much for sharing your authenticity of being a mother. I just recently been through a kidney donation surgery swap with someone in California. My mother, sister, and I have been fighting a kidney disease for the past 6 years after a few days after our grandmother died and having to learn to perform our mom kidney dialysis at home. I am currently healing from my kidney donation surgery from the University of Chicago and Medicine, and you reminded me one of the reasons why I donated my kidney. One of my wishes in life is to share the joy of having a child and sharing that with my mom of being a grandma in my child’s life. 👵🏽 ❤ Thank you this is by far my most favorite RUclips video because I am a C section baby myself and I can’t thank my mother enough for all her pain, tired nights, and sacrifices. Your family gives us an idea of faith and to not give up in our dreams after your challenges of miscarriages. 🥹 I hope 🤞🏽 nothing but the best for you and your family! ❤❤❤🎉
I also had a miscarriage for my first pregnancy, the way my midwife put it to me is your body is trying to learn. So even though it didn't happen this time, she said it will happen. And I'm so glad it did for you. I'm currently 25 weeks with my second pregnancy and hoping for the best! thank you for telling us your story, I know it's personal but I wish more people would.
I had an emergency c-section with my first and do not regret it because he might not be here otherwise. And chose to have c-section for the second. No Regrets!!! I’m curious to know how y’all’s family is LOVING baby Kai?!??😍I can only imagine grandma’s!!!!
Nicole I have been watching you since day one and I can honestly say you are one of the realest people I’ve watched her on RUclips. It is so heart warming watching with your baby. You have come a long way and I am so happy we get to continue to see you grow not only as a person but as a momma and wife. Much love to you guys
The "I can stand" had me cracking up. Totally something I'd do. Congrats to you both. I've been watching you for like 10-11 years and love seeing you all here at this "place". Congratulations x1,000! ... Watching you interact with your nieces I knew you'd be great.
Thanks guys for the tears. I’m 8 weeks and some change postpartum and I’m crying. He’s the cutest baby ever. You guys are the cutest family. Congratulations and baby makes everything so worth it.
Tell me why I am crying, I have been following you since you had red hair. I feel like we have lived with you guys all of the stages and I feel so proud and happy for you guys ♥️ Baby Kai is the cutest 😍
This is insane , watching your growth through the years on youtube is astounding. From 10+ years ago and now to being a momma 🥹 this is a huge moment! You sharing your birth story/miscarriage story will give hope and more insight of what happens in life. The baby is Jeremy’s twinn literally omg! The cutest bundle of joy. I had 2 babies the first wasn’t so bad but the second was traumatizing lol. I share my story as much as possible as i am a oversharer🤭 but you did it and we are proud of you! Always on those days that you feel like you cant do something always look over and see kais beautiful face. The strength and courage to keep going is resilient and we love u Nicole ! May you keep receiving many blessings and more 💕 your doing great hunny 🥹
I went through all the emotions in this video with you. It’s so amazing how parenthood changes a person. I use to be so inmune to other peoples feelings and now I’m crying for anything 😅 congratulations Nicole and Jeremy and thank you for sharing such a deep and private conversation with us! I’ve had a natural and a c section birth and let me tell you! I have a new appreciation for cesarean moms! It’s double the work and pain but our beautiful babies make it all worth it 💙 Always remember that no matter what you know what is best for your child and you’re doing the best job! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Xoxo sending all the hugs and blessings! Your baby is SO HANDSOME! I have two boys and they’re my whole life!
Kai was 8 lbs on the head and your miscarried babies were at 8 weeks both times. God had a hand in that! God bless you and your family! So glad to see you are all doing well!! XO beautiful baby boy!! ❤️
I’ve never hit a notification so quick on my phone 😂 I’ve been waiting for this video! I’m so happy to see your journey of you and J dating, engaged, married, and now parents. You both deserve all the happiness. Just raising an overall good person as J said in one video. It’s exactly what we need in terrible world. Love you both, Godbless you both! Now I’m watching the video lol ❤️❤️
i’ve followed you for so long and i remember saying that i was sad you didn’t want to get married or even have the thought of kids but the glow that you and jeremy have had this past year is so incredibly beautiful to watch and may god continue to bless all of you ❤️ you both have done and are doing amazing and i literally cried through this vlog. congratulations 👏🏼❤️
Your little boy is perfect!! And I’m excited to have a little boy. I’m pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m having a boy! I love how real and honest you are! Because it is hard and being a mom puts a toll on your body. You and Jeremy are doing an amazing job!
Such an amazing beautiful story. And he is his daddy’s twin. Ugh, watching him makes me wish my kids were that small again. I do not need anymore… oh how I miss these days. Congratulations to your beautiful family!💙
I’ve never related to someone so much in my life .. I also had a baby boy this February , I really felt when Nicole said since then it’s felt like one long day because that’s exactly how I feel .. keep going mama you’re inspiring us you gave me some form of peace knowing I’m not the only one going through this so thank you for that ! 143
The glow on your faces is undeniable. I always knew you both would make great parents. We’ve seen many years of teamwork on the vlogs. Also I didn’t know an epidural could fail. New fear unlocked. Sending you all the love for you to ride all these waves of new parenthood You guys are doing amazing and love for baby boy Kai just oozes from you both. All my love ! 💛💛💛💛💛💛
I want to thank you for being so open and honest about your stories, both TTC/miscarriages and your birth story. Everything you went through is painful and traumatic but can be SUCH a help to us women who have gone through similar things. Not every TTC journey is easy and not every birth story is easy either, but so often that's what you hear about, the easy stuff. Thank you for being so open and sharing with us. So happy for you and J!
I just checked your channel last night to see if you had posted a “Yesterdays” that I might’ve missed- was super excited when I saw this this morning! I never thought about being a mama either. My son (now 2.5 😭) was a surprise but the best one I’ve ever gotten. I’m obsessed with him. Motherhood looks great on you!!
So so sooo happy for you 2! You are amazing parents and truly deserve the joy of parenthood. Kai is too cute! I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks and I had a stillbirth at 34 weeks but I’m super grateful for my 2 daughters I do have here on earth with me. Rest In Peace to all of our angel babies ❤️
My first baby was a C-section due to her being sunny side up. My epidural wore off at 9cm and I swear I thought I was dying! Worst pain ever! She’s 16 now and the chillest, easiest kid ever. I also had 2 successful VBAC’s and amazing epidural experiences with those births! Congrats again to your beautiful family. I am certain the next time you do this, it will be a different birth experience for you! Kai is the cutest, and seeing you both as parents is a joy to get to be a part of! Been watching you for almost a decade now; the grown up glow up is perfection. ❤️❤️
Ma’am. I’m a section mom and ain’t no body telling me I’m not mom enough. I’ll show you my battle scars! Don’t play! 😂😂 But in all seriousness Nicole, I couldn’t be happier for you and Jeremy. I’ve been watching you since your 1st what’s in my bag video, and I’ve been hooked ever since. In my head your my friend and we talk alll of the time. Lol! Enjoy your beautiful family because it does go by super fast. My baby will turn 2 in July and I still remember my C-section. Xoxo!!!! Btw, you look great!
I have watched your video for so many years and seeing you guys with Kai melts my heart. Your both are amazing parents. It’s fits you so well. Nothing wrong with a C-section. Healthy baby is what is most important. ❤️
I breastfed for 3 years. I fed my baby any and everywhere and didn’t care who saw. I give thanks to the breastfeeding support groups that I was apart of.
I’m just catching up on your videos I would watch when I was younger and I’ve took a break from RUclips for a few years. I remember when you would talk about not wanting to get married or start having kids, but seeing you guys grow into a beautiful family is amazing. I’m also pregnant with my first and I love hearing others’ pregnancy stories. So happy for you guys!! 🥹
47 min!!!! Yessss!!! Love you and the family. Your baby is sooo handsome. ❤ I been following you since day 1 and you are still my all time favorite channel to watch. I rewatch your old videos all the time. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. God bless 🥰
Nicole, I’m an OG subscriber; you, Carli & Chloe were my outlet when I was in grad school. I remember for so long how much fear you had of getting married - and then you and Jeremy did it twice…and how children were never a priority to you, and now you have the absolute cutest YT baby! He’s adorable! Congratulations on this new phase of your life together, it’s been beautiful to witness! God bless y’all!
Through out this entire vlog i was just in awe! I started watching Nicole when I was a junior in high school and I don’t think i’ve missed a video since. I’m 27 now, and the first thing that came to mind when I started watching this was, 2012 Nicole would be baffled if she saw 2022 Nicole hahaha Motherhood looks SO good on you ❤️ So happy for you & Jeremy!!!
Welcome to motherhood I’m two years in and my house has never been spotless since I gave birth 🤣🤣🤣 but it’s such a beautiful journey. I’m so happy for you Nicole ♥️♥️♥️ baby Kai is the cutest ♥️
I’ve been watching your channel since day one. I just love seeing you as a mother. It’s so beautiful to see how much your channel has grown and changed over the years. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I breastfed until 9 months and pumped until just recently so he's about 15ish months and it was so much harder than I ever understood... I bought a 3 pack of nursing tank tops on Amazon like a white, black, grey and I'm a big busted woman pre pregnancy and they were great for me! I hope postpartum is treating you well. Make sure to take care of you as well, mamas can't pour from an empty cup. ❤
I'm crying at you talking to kai like I've been here since 2013 and just watching how much you've done and how much you accomplish is so heart warming ❤ to watch your family grow is the best privilege you could give us, I'm loving every part of it ❤
As a labor and delivery nurse I have to admit it makes me so happy for you to share your story! Being able to encourage other women regardless of how they delivered their baby! A true blessing from God either way! Congrats to y’all! 💗
Hearing you talk about BFing… exactly how every mom feels. I went 2 1/2 years breastfeeding and it was HARD. Once I stopped I started to feel like myself again. It’s draining so no judgement as to when you feel it’s time. Only you can decide.
It's been exactly two months post my 8 week miscarriage. There are days i seem fine and days where the pain is unbearable because I got ahead and made promises to my baby, which i couldn't keep. Seeing you surrounded by your family and love is giving me a glimmer of hope for trying again sooner rather than later. I hope to dive into this journey again with an attitude more like yours, more resilient. Blessings to you and your family 💗
I had the same thing happen!!! Epidural didn’t work, long labor, failure to progress that ended in a c section. I’m so happy for you both and your beautiful little boy. Thank you for sharing your story 💜
So Amazing to see you guys in this new chapter in life. My baby is 8 months, first time mom here and I can relate so much. Also a c-section mom and proud of it, because thanks to that decision I have a healthy baby boy. This is the hardest job I’ve ever done but the most amazing. Looking forward to updates on you guys. 😘
I pretty much had the same birth story and my postpartum journey has also been the same. This has been incredibly validating and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story! I could go on forever about the similarities and how helpful this has been for me to see and hear. Thank you so so much!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us!! I totally remember you saying you never wanted to get married having kids wasn’t a thing for you and watching you be this mom and wife is the coolest thing 🥹❤️ 143!!!! I hope you don’t ever feel pressure to post or vlog anything, take your time. Having a baby & rasing a kid is HAARDDD! No matter how prepared, or excited you were it’s effing hard! Sending love and positivity 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Nicole, breastfeeding will get easily the older he gets! I’ve breastfed all 3 of my babies and my youngest is 6 months. She is going much longer between feeds so I feel like I have a bit more freedom lol! Keep at it mama, it’s so worth it & you’re giving your baby the best thing ever!
Omgsh… I’ve followed you since before your red hair. Seeing you talk to your baby made me tear up. You’re so beautiful!! And I love this part of your life right now.
I can relate to everything you said about breastfeeding. I breastfed for a year and it was not easy at first but as they get older they go longer and they start doing solids too. It gets better! About the baby weight I was one of those moms that actually gained while breastfeeding. Now that my daughter is about to be 2 I’m finally able to dedicate more time and energy to that. Your doing a great job and Kai is adorable.
So precious!! Thank you for sharing. You are a great mom, and Jeremy is a great dad. And of course, Kai is literally the cutest baby ever. I love watching y’all ❤️
Thank you for being so real! Showing your room just made me look around at mine(I also have a 2 month old son & a 5 year old daughter lol) & say oh ok so this is normal lol. Looks just like yours & it made me feel like I’m not failing, thank you!
Been watching you for you years. Love the relationship hubby and wife and baby Kai. It was so moving and full with love. God Bless these happy parents!!!
The first 4 months of breastfeeding for me were the toughest, I wanted to give up so bad because I too felt like I was stuck at home because baby wanted boob or I was plugged to the wall 😩 I PROMISE it gets better, word of advice other breastfeeding mamas gave me is “don’t give up on a bad day, give it up on a good day to avoid all regrets of quitting” and it’s true, I gave it up shortly after 12 months and to be quite honest I wish I would’ve lasted even a little longer. Breastfeeding is rewarding as hell and once you finish you will miss it, you’re doing everything right. You got this mama!! 🤍
wow this is sound advice. I'm two years in and i don't even think about it or feel it half the time lol, but I am a little weary from doing it for so long. I have thought about quitting on bad days...the time will come but i'll make sure it's on a good day. thanks girl
So true. Just push through. We're so strong and are made for it. Its also super rewarding. My son is 2 and a half and we're still going. He's super healthy and so bright 🥰
You are an absolute NATURAL when it comes to being a mom. You and Jeremy are doing amazing and it’s so sweet to see the joy you have with Kai and being a family. You’re doing awesome mama & papa 👏🏻 👏🏻
he is the cutest!!! like literally a perfect face!! He is so lucky to have you and Jeremy as parents, you seem like such good people! wish you the best
This baby is too f***ng cute! Thank you for sharing your journey. I miscarried alone without the support of my bf at the time almost 18yrs ago. Those moments never go away, sometimes it just really good days and you forget and then other days hit and you breakdown. Jeremy is an amazing man for always being your #1 supporter no matter what you decided. I hope every day with that cute little man of yours helps your heart to have more good days than bad. 💗
Been watching you since 18ishh im 29 now I love growing with you !!Seeing you be this mumma bear now just brings my heart an overwhelming amount of joy 143 Nicole and Jeremy you guys are doing a phenomenal job with EVERYTHING 🤗❤
I've been watching your videos for a long time, and I need to just say that you are such a precious Mommy. Motherhood suits you 100%. You're doing so great!! Your son is so freaking adorable! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. ❤️
I feel like I’ve seen Nicole in so many stages in her life on this here RUclips…and this stage by far is one of my favorites. She’s never looked more beautiful to me! Watching her and her family just out here living really just puts a spark of joy in me….143 💞 blessings to you and your family!
I feel the same way! I smiled the whole time watching her absolutely glow talking about baby! So sweet! 143!
Yes! From stripper poles in her bedroom at her moms house to domestic bliss with her own baby. The internet is cool.
I smiled the whole time watching this video and I thought the same thing we've seen her in different stages but this one is so special to watch.
Same!!! It’s so crazy to remember her in her perfect red hair telling us the latest stories at the bar to see her married and a momma! I love it 😻
I 100% agree. I remember so many times I said she was never gonna have a baby. Or when she said she was never gonna get married. But you know what it’s all about growing up stages in our life and just because you say something back then doesn’t mean you don’t have the right to change your mind and your opinion like so beautiful it still
The part where Jeremy describes the miscarriage emotions means so much. We rarely hear the husbands perspective. It means a lot that y’all shared this with us.
Miscarriages at 8 weeks. Kai born on the 28th and being 8 pounds even. It was all meant to be. I know you like Angel number 11:11 but 888 means “Balance- everything falling into place as it was meant to be” 💙
This is an amazing observation! I also didn’t know it meant that.
I noticed the same thing! And she wouldn’t dilate past 8 centimeters!! He’s the most perfect baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That’s insane!! I had 2 miscarriages at 8 weeks and my daughter was born the 28th as well 😳😳
#8 has followed me as well. With my bday my kids bday and our anniversary, it’s crazy!
Yes! I believe in the angel numbers. I tracked ovulation & got a positive on 5.11 which is 2 months from our 11th year anniversary on 3.11.10 & I got the first positive pregnancy test on 5.21.21. I knew that cycle worked because of our numbers & she’s such a blessing 😭.
Why is nobody talking about how when she called J & the baby was crying that he didn’t call her to rush her , he tried to handle it without bothering her 😭♥️ you guys are so lucky to have each other! So happy for you!
I feel like no one is talking about it because that’s how it should be? 🤷🏽♀️ he is the dad ❤️
That is how is should be but more often than not its not how it really is! He should get his props for that 🫶🏼
Jeremy’s admiration when Nicole said “I would’ve cut off my arm and leg to get this baby” 💙 You can tell he understands her sacrifice and is so grateful!
seeing her as a mom and wife is so beautiful. ive watched her for so many years and im just so happy for her
We can clearly see Jeremy was the cutest baby ever because Kai is his twin and omg he's adorable! btw what a lucky little boy to have you two as his parents.
I literally wanted to cry when y’all were laying on the bed and baby boy was talking to you. Just melted my heart. I’ve been watching for almost ten years now… you have grown into such a beautiful human being. So happy that you still share aspects with us. Remember to soak in every moment 💕
This is a Gerber baby ... he has the absolute CUTEST face!!! You two are great parents and still so loving toward your cats. ❤❤❤ Congratulations to the happiest couple in Florida ❣❣
Literally that face...beyond beautiful 😍
I’ve watched you for years. I’m currently going through my second miscarriage and was feeling very depressed. Seeing you play with your baby and talk about your losses makes me feel like there is hope for me. I really appreciate you opening up about such an emotional topic. It helps so many
I’d say both you and Jeremy are quite lucky to have found each other so young. You have made
a beautiful little boy. So amazing and refreshing to see all the love
Agreed! Every time I see them in a video I think how lucky they are to be so happy & in love for so long!
i might have missed it but at what age did they find each other?
Back in her late teens/very early twenties. He was DJ’ing at a club.
Idk why but when you were sitting at the target parking lot and started debating on whether you should go in because you were enjoying the quiet , it just hit me on an emotional level. I just started crying because I’ve been there. I’d literally find any excuse to go to the bathroom just so I could be alone. I had the worst ppd for like 2 years. It’s hard sometimes mama but you got this 💓
I started watching her when she reviewed a L’Oréal mouse foundation and ever since I’ve been hooked. Seen her in her old room with a pole, worked as a bartender, brief breakup with Jay, went red and now look at them! It’s insane to see them both grow their relationship and family. So proud of all your growth while still maintaining a humble and down to earth personality. Happy for you and you’re family ♥️ your OG subscriber
I love Nicole she’s so authentic and genuine humble. like other comments mentioned she’s been in so many stages but this one’s is her best one yet. 🖤
When you were talking to Kai, it melted my whole heart. Reminds me of me and my son 💜
That was THE sweetest!
I know everyone is saying “hold on, it gets better” with regards to breastfeeding. But I only breast fed for 6 months. Called it quits and was SO happy once I was done lol and that’s ok too 🤣🤣 breast feeding isn’t for everyone and as long as your baby is fed ( whatever way you choose to feed him) that’s all that matters 🥰 you’re doing great Nicole and you look amazing 🤩 blessings to you and your beautiful family 💜
Breast feeding is always best for baby though.
@@heyitsme881 fed is best, love. 😉
It’s true it doesn’t get easier and I drove myself crazy with it. Refused to give formula and it pretty much suffered through it
@@sing2mesmile4me93 I second this 😊
I have two girls 12 and 9, perfectly healthy formula fed babies. Mom’s emotional health is also important. Breast is best is a ridiculous statement.
Nicole I’ve quite literally grown up with you. My husband and I started dating in ‘09, I started watching you in 2012, my hubby and I got married November 7 of 2020, and then we had our first baby girl November of 2021. I’ve so enjoyed going through all of life’s biggest joys right along with you. I wish you guys all the happiness in the world!
Jeremy has a heart of gold. I cried more than once during the story just listening to how sweet you both are. So incredibly happy for both of you. I've been watching since the red hair days 🥰 143....3!!! 💙💙💙
I really admire NICOLE & JEREMY so much. This story made me emotional. I never had a miscarriage but, I did lose my baby boy Devon a day before my birthday. He was only 10 months. I never thought I wanted to have another child and especially during this tragedy but I just wanted to have a baby so bad, made a better decision and I found my soulmate, got married, and waited 3 years and now I have a beautiful baby boy named BASH. Now we are having a baby girl named ZAMORA :) Keep trying and don't give up.
I love that she’s a normal mom and not like some of the other influencers who rush to workout and lose tons of weight that makes us normal moms feel like even more crap. Thank you for being down to earth and normal and we love you! I’m right here with you struggling to lose the extra baby weight
agree, none of that fake stuff
Birth isn't easy, whatever you went through or how your baby arrived. It is a rough ride, emotionally and physically and really tests yours and your partners character. Sounds like you both were lucky to have each other and your story was beautiful. Also can relate with the feeling of being tied down with breastfeeding. It's a hard but rewarding slog and there is so much emotion surrounding it. I quit at 6 months and was in tears. I'd had pumped 2 months worth of milk and my baby had that, I still felt guilty but now I look back I am so damn proud of myself. No matter if you did it for a few weeks, a few months or a few years it is hard work. You are doing the best you can and that is amazing!
100% can relate. I had twins thru IVF born at only 27 weeks. It can be so traumatic. And I totally understand on feeling bad afterward about not really understanding how precious life is and how much people go through to have a baby. Changed my view on a lot of things in life for the better!!!
I have grown up watching this women, working at a club to being a full blown mom. The uncontrollable tears that fell down my face as you told your story. I’m so so happy for you two ! Thats a cute freakin nugget !! May light shine through your home always 🤍🧿
"I thought I was gonna die" literally couldn't have said it better! I felt I died as well and woke back up when they put baby on my chest. Its why I only had 1 child and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. Not all birthing stories are the same.
Same!!! One and done ✅
Oh my goodness Nicole 😢4:50 I was in tears thank you so much for sharing your authenticity of being a mother.
I just recently been through a kidney donation surgery swap with someone in California.
My mother, sister, and I have been fighting a kidney disease for the past 6 years after a few days after our grandmother died and having to learn to perform our mom kidney dialysis at home.
I am currently healing from my kidney donation surgery from the University of Chicago and Medicine, and you reminded me one of the reasons why I donated my kidney.
One of my wishes in life is to share the joy of having a child and sharing that with my mom of being a grandma in my child’s life. 👵🏽 ❤
Thank you this is by far my most favorite RUclips video because I am a C section baby myself and I can’t thank my mother enough for all her pain, tired nights, and sacrifices. Your family gives us an idea of faith and to not give up in our dreams after your challenges of miscarriages. 🥹 I hope 🤞🏽 nothing but the best for you and your family! ❤❤❤🎉
I also had a miscarriage for my first pregnancy, the way my midwife put it to me is your body is trying to learn. So even though it didn't happen this time, she said it will happen. And I'm so glad it did for you. I'm currently 25 weeks with my second pregnancy and hoping for the best! thank you for telling us your story, I know it's personal but I wish more people would.
I got a little teary eyed watching this. Dude I’m just so genuinely happy for y’all.
I had an emergency c-section with my first and do not regret it because he might not be here otherwise. And chose to have c-section for the second. No Regrets!!! I’m curious to know how y’all’s family is LOVING baby Kai?!??😍I can only imagine grandma’s!!!!
Nicole I have been watching you since day one and I can honestly say you are one of the realest people I’ve watched her on RUclips. It is so heart warming watching with your baby. You have come a long way and I am so happy we get to continue to see you grow not only as a person but as a momma and wife. Much love to you guys
The "I can stand" had me cracking up. Totally something I'd do. Congrats to you both. I've been watching you for like 10-11 years and love seeing you all here at this "place". Congratulations x1,000! ... Watching you interact with your nieces I knew you'd be great.
Thanks guys for the tears. I’m 8 weeks and some change postpartum and I’m crying. He’s the cutest baby ever. You guys are the cutest family. Congratulations and baby makes everything so worth it.
Tell me why I am crying, I have been following you since you had red hair. I feel like we have lived with you guys all of the stages and I feel so proud and happy for you guys ♥️
Baby Kai is the cutest 😍
How sweet is it that you have a rainbow on your shirt and Kai is just out of frame, just the top of his head
This is insane , watching your growth through the years on youtube is astounding. From 10+ years ago and now to being a momma 🥹 this is a huge moment! You sharing your birth story/miscarriage story will give hope and more insight of what happens in life. The baby is Jeremy’s twinn literally omg! The cutest bundle of joy. I had 2 babies the first wasn’t so bad but the second was traumatizing lol. I share my story as much as possible as i am a oversharer🤭 but you did it and we are proud of you! Always on those days that you feel like you cant do something always look over and see kais beautiful face. The strength and courage to keep going is resilient and we love u Nicole ! May you keep receiving many blessings and more 💕 your doing great hunny 🥹
I went through all the emotions in this video with you. It’s so amazing how parenthood changes a person. I use to be so inmune to other peoples feelings and now I’m crying for anything 😅 congratulations Nicole and Jeremy and thank you for sharing such a deep and private conversation with us! I’ve had a natural and a c section birth and let me tell you! I have a new appreciation for cesarean moms! It’s double the work and pain but our beautiful babies make it all worth it 💙 Always remember that no matter what you know what is best for your child and you’re doing the best job! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Xoxo sending all the hugs and blessings! Your baby is SO HANDSOME! I have two boys and they’re my whole life!
Kai was 8 lbs on the head and your miscarried babies were at 8 weeks both times. God had a hand in that! God bless you and your family! So glad to see you are all doing well!! XO beautiful baby boy!! ❤️
Love how Jeremy is so claiming and chill, can only imagine how he was during the labor. Congratulations on your new family
I’ve never hit a notification so quick on my phone 😂 I’ve been waiting for this video! I’m so happy to see your journey of you and J dating, engaged, married, and now parents. You both deserve all the happiness. Just raising an overall good person as J said in one video. It’s exactly what we need in terrible world. Love you both, Godbless you both! Now I’m watching the video lol ❤️❤️
i’ve followed you for so long and i remember saying that i was sad you didn’t want to get married or even have the thought of kids but the glow that you and jeremy have had this past year is so incredibly beautiful to watch and may god continue to bless all of you ❤️ you both have done and are doing amazing and i literally cried through this vlog. congratulations 👏🏼❤️
Your little boy is perfect!! And I’m excited to have a little boy. I’m pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m having a boy! I love how real and honest you are! Because it is hard and being a mom puts a toll on your body. You and Jeremy are doing an amazing job!
This is so powerful the way you are so open, healing and talking about your journey whilst helping others relate
Such an amazing beautiful story. And he is his daddy’s twin. Ugh, watching him makes me wish my kids were that small again. I do not need anymore… oh how I miss these days. Congratulations to your beautiful family!💙
I’ve never related to someone so much in my life .. I also had a baby boy this February , I really felt when Nicole said since then it’s felt like one long day because that’s exactly how I feel .. keep going mama you’re inspiring us you gave me some form of peace knowing I’m not the only one going through this so thank you for that ! 143
Jeremy is such a hands on dad, it's so nice to see. 💜💜
The glow on your faces is undeniable. I always knew you both would make great parents. We’ve seen many years of teamwork on the vlogs. Also I didn’t know an epidural could fail. New fear unlocked. Sending you all the love for you to ride all these waves of new parenthood
You guys are doing amazing and love for baby boy Kai just oozes from you both. All my love ! 💛💛💛💛💛💛
Parenthood looks great on y'all. This feels like a feverish dream.
I want to thank you for being so open and honest about your stories, both TTC/miscarriages and your birth story. Everything you went through is painful and traumatic but can be SUCH a help to us women who have gone through similar things. Not every TTC journey is easy and not every birth story is easy either, but so often that's what you hear about, the easy stuff. Thank you for being so open and sharing with us. So happy for you and J!
I just checked your channel last night to see if you had posted a “Yesterdays” that I might’ve missed- was super excited when I saw this this morning!
I never thought about being a mama either. My son (now 2.5 😭) was a surprise but the best one I’ve ever gotten. I’m obsessed with him. Motherhood looks great on you!!
So so sooo happy for you 2! You are amazing parents and truly deserve the joy of parenthood. Kai is too cute! I had a miscarriage at 10 weeks and I had a stillbirth at 34 weeks but I’m super grateful for my 2 daughters I do have here on earth with me. Rest In Peace to all of our angel babies ❤️
My first baby was a C-section due to her being sunny side up. My epidural wore off at 9cm and I swear I thought I was dying! Worst pain ever! She’s 16 now and the chillest, easiest kid ever. I also had 2 successful VBAC’s and amazing epidural experiences with those births! Congrats again to your beautiful family. I am certain the next time you do this, it will be a different birth experience for you! Kai is the cutest, and seeing you both as parents is a joy to get to be a part of! Been watching you for almost a decade now; the grown up glow up is perfection. ❤️❤️
That back labor pain is really something from another planet. Unimaginable 🥴
Ma’am. I’m a section mom and ain’t no body telling me I’m not mom enough. I’ll show you my battle scars! Don’t play! 😂😂 But in all seriousness Nicole, I couldn’t be happier for you and Jeremy. I’ve been watching you since your 1st what’s in my bag video, and I’ve been hooked ever since. In my head your my friend and we talk alll of the time. Lol! Enjoy your beautiful family because it does go by super fast. My baby will turn 2 in July and I still remember my C-section. Xoxo!!!! Btw, you look great!
I have watched your video for so many years and seeing you guys with Kai melts my heart. Your both are amazing parents. It’s fits you so well. Nothing wrong with a C-section. Healthy baby is what is most important. ❤️
I breastfed for 3 years. I fed my baby any and everywhere and didn’t care who saw. I give thanks to the breastfeeding support groups that I was apart of.
I’m so happy you never gave up ! Keep going you are made to be a mom . Have as many babies as you can life is so beautiful with them
HE'S SCRUMPTIOUS!!!! What a cute baby!! What a good Mom! Been here through all your moves, marriage, daily vlogs and now a son?! 🥺
xx
Why am I crying happy tears as I watch your beautiful family!!! We have seen so much grow and change in your life, thank you for including us!
Bless you Kai, Jeremy's twin for real.
I’m just catching up on your videos I would watch when I was younger and I’ve took a break from RUclips for a few years. I remember when you would talk about not wanting to get married or start having kids, but seeing you guys grow into a beautiful family is amazing. I’m also pregnant with my first and I love hearing others’ pregnancy stories. So happy for you guys!! 🥹
47 min!!!! Yessss!!! Love you and the family. Your baby is sooo handsome. ❤ I been following you since day 1 and you are still my all time favorite channel to watch. I rewatch your old videos all the time. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. God bless 🥰
Nicole, I’m an OG subscriber; you, Carli & Chloe were my outlet when I was in grad school. I remember for so long how much fear you had of getting married - and then you and Jeremy did it twice…and how children were never a priority to you, and now you have the absolute cutest YT baby! He’s adorable! Congratulations on this new phase of your life together, it’s been beautiful to witness! God bless y’all!
Through out this entire vlog i was just in awe! I started watching Nicole when I was a junior in high school and I don’t think i’ve missed a video since. I’m 27 now, and the first thing that came to mind when I started watching this was, 2012 Nicole would be baffled if she saw 2022 Nicole hahaha Motherhood looks SO good on you ❤️ So happy for you & Jeremy!!!
Congratulations guys!!! You’re rainbow baby is so precious! May God continue bless y’all with amazing memories
Welcome to motherhood I’m two years in and my house has never been spotless since I gave birth 🤣🤣🤣 but it’s such a beautiful journey. I’m so happy for you Nicole ♥️♥️♥️ baby Kai is the cutest ♥️
I’ve been watching your channel since day one. I just love seeing you as a mother. It’s so beautiful to see how much your channel has grown and changed over the years. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I breastfed until 9 months and pumped until just recently so he's about 15ish months and it was so much harder than I ever understood... I bought a 3 pack of nursing tank tops on Amazon like a white, black, grey and I'm a big busted woman pre pregnancy and they were great for me! I hope postpartum is treating you well. Make sure to take care of you as well, mamas can't pour from an empty cup. ❤
I'm crying at you talking to kai like I've been here since 2013 and just watching how much you've done and how much you accomplish is so heart warming ❤ to watch your family grow is the best privilege you could give us, I'm loving every part of it ❤
I’ve followed you from your red hair days! A favorite video of yours! And this surpasses haha! Sending you all blessings ❤️❤️❤️
As a labor and delivery nurse I have to admit it makes me so happy for you to share your story! Being able to encourage other women regardless of how they delivered their baby! A true blessing from God either way! Congrats to y’all! 💗
Im about to be 23 in a few weeks and started watching you as a teen and now your a momma 🥺💖. Much love to your lil fam✨
Congratulations 🥰
“8llb honey baked ham” 😂 so so beyond happy for you! The most beautiful family
Nicole… do you have any idea how proud of the Both of you so many people are? Truly the Best couple out. Beautiful story. Congratulations.
Hearing you talk about BFing… exactly how every mom feels. I went 2 1/2 years breastfeeding and it was HARD. Once I stopped I started to feel like myself again. It’s draining so no judgement as to when you feel it’s time. Only you can decide.
It's been exactly two months post my 8 week miscarriage. There are days i seem fine and days where the pain is unbearable because I got ahead and made promises to my baby, which i couldn't keep. Seeing you surrounded by your family and love is giving me a glimmer of hope for trying again sooner rather than later. I hope to dive into this journey again with an attitude more like yours, more resilient. Blessings to you and your family 💗
So fun when they find their voice. 🥰 My “baby” is 29! Time flies. Love the videos.
Lol!!! My “”BABY””! is 29 also. Parents enjoy those baby years. Time Flies💕💕💕💕💕💕
I had the same thing happen!!! Epidural didn’t work, long labor, failure to progress that ended in a c section. I’m so happy for you both and your beautiful little boy. Thank you for sharing your story 💜
Hi Nicole !!! Your little human is so adorable I always show my mom and she’s like aweeeeee. I miss your yesterday’s vlogs 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
So Amazing to see you guys in this new chapter in life. My baby is 8 months, first time mom here and I can relate so much. Also a c-section mom and proud of it, because thanks to that decision I have a healthy baby boy. This is the hardest job I’ve ever done but the most amazing. Looking forward to updates on you guys. 😘
I'm dying at the *honk* "not in the mood" 😂
Also Kai is so cute 🥺
Omg same here. I was the same way when my girls were babies lol
I pretty much had the same birth story and my postpartum journey has also been the same. This has been incredibly validating and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story! I could go on forever about the similarities and how helpful this has been for me to see and hear. Thank you so so much!
Baby boy is getting so big 😍 he looks just like Jeremy! He's so special congrats on such a beautiful baby ❤️
Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us!! I totally remember you saying you never wanted to get married having kids wasn’t a thing for you and watching you be this mom and wife is the coolest thing 🥹❤️ 143!!!! I hope you don’t ever feel pressure to post or vlog anything, take your time. Having a baby & rasing a kid is HAARDDD! No matter how prepared, or excited you were it’s effing hard! Sending love and positivity 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Nicole, breastfeeding will get easily the older he gets! I’ve breastfed all 3 of my babies and my youngest is 6 months. She is going much longer between feeds so I feel like I have a bit more freedom lol! Keep at it mama, it’s so worth it & you’re giving your baby the best thing ever!
Breastfeeding does get so much easier!
@@adrianagauna that first month is pretty rough sometimes but after a while you both catch on!
@@lydiah7184 the first two months I’d say are the worst, but I’d take it one day at a time & time goes by so fast 😩😢
My absolute favorite since day one. i have been watching you from the very beginning and it's been awesome. super happy for your beautiful family!
Kai with his shades on, oh he definitely belongs to you and Jeremy. you guys are so beautiful, congrats again 😎💙
Omg the part ab the dad notebooks in the hospital. That is such a sweet/serious thing. Make me get so teary!
He’s such a cutie pie, u literally gave birth to Jeremy lol!! I’m sooo happy for you guys!
Omgsh… I’ve followed you since before your red hair. Seeing you talk to your baby made me tear up. You’re so beautiful!! And I love this part of your life right now.
I can relate to everything you said about breastfeeding. I breastfed for a year and it was not easy at first but as they get older they go longer and they start doing solids too. It gets better! About the baby weight I was one of those moms that actually gained while breastfeeding. Now that my daughter is about to be 2 I’m finally able to dedicate more time and energy to that. Your doing a great job and Kai is adorable.
So precious!! Thank you for sharing. You are a great mom, and Jeremy is a great dad. And of course, Kai is literally the cutest baby ever. I love watching y’all ❤️
Thank you for being so real! Showing your room just made me look around at mine(I also have a 2 month old son & a 5 year old daughter lol) & say oh ok so this is normal lol. Looks just like yours & it made me feel like I’m not failing, thank you!
Been watching you for you years. Love the relationship hubby and wife and baby Kai. It was so moving and full with love. God Bless these happy parents!!!
Omg never clicked so fast!!! Can’t wait to watch the rest of this!!! 💕 much love your guys way! ❤️❤️❤️
Right
Girl, for real hahaha I did the same!
The first 4 months of breastfeeding for me were the toughest, I wanted to give up so bad because I too felt like I was stuck at home because baby wanted boob or I was plugged to the wall 😩 I PROMISE it gets better, word of advice other breastfeeding mamas gave me is “don’t give up on a bad day, give it up on a good day to avoid all regrets of quitting” and it’s true, I gave it up shortly after 12 months and to be quite honest I wish I would’ve lasted even a little longer. Breastfeeding is rewarding as hell and once you finish you will miss it, you’re doing everything right. You got this mama!! 🤍
wow this is sound advice. I'm two years in and i don't even think about it or feel it half the time lol, but I am a little weary from doing it for so long. I have thought about quitting on bad days...the time will come but i'll make sure it's on a good day. thanks girl
So true. Just push through. We're so strong and are made for it. Its also super rewarding. My son is 2 and a half and we're still going. He's super healthy and so bright 🥰
You are an absolute NATURAL when it comes to being a mom. You and Jeremy are doing amazing and it’s so sweet to see the joy you have with Kai and being a family. You’re doing awesome mama & papa 👏🏻 👏🏻
he is the cutest!!! like literally a perfect face!! He is so lucky to have you and Jeremy as parents, you seem like such good people! wish you the best
This baby is too f***ng cute! Thank you for sharing your journey. I miscarried alone without the support of my bf at the time almost 18yrs ago. Those moments never go away, sometimes it just really good days and you forget and then other days hit and you breakdown. Jeremy is an amazing man for always being your #1 supporter no matter what you decided. I hope every day with that cute little man of yours helps your heart to have more good days than bad. 💗
Really enjoyed this vlog, you both look like you’re completely in love with your new journey as parents. Bubs is adorable. ❤️❤️❤️
Been watching you since 18ishh im 29 now I love growing with you !!Seeing you be this mumma bear now just brings my heart an overwhelming amount of joy 143 Nicole and Jeremy you guys are doing a phenomenal job with EVERYTHING 🤗❤
Congrats on baby boy, he’s such a cutie 💙
I've been watching your videos for a long time, and I need to just say that you are such a precious Mommy. Motherhood suits you 100%. You're doing so great!! Your son is so freaking adorable! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. ❤️
