Me and Taylor were pregnant at the same time. Due date one week apart... I watched all her vlogs and always compared her pregnancy and her experiences to mine. I called my son Eren and she called her son Levi?! I can’t stop laughing this is so amazing for me 😂
Time does fly really fast. Taylor is literally glowing. You can see it in her eyes how extremely grateful she is to be granted the opportunity to finally become a mother. All the best of luck to your family, Taylor! It’s definitely good to see that you are doing well.
Don't think too much. For the chinese name "shing4" doesn't mean supporting, helping..."fung1" doesn't mean the leader of an army but it does sound good in chinese
@@lowbfung Gathered from Taylor at 2:41, they took the advice for the gold aspect from the 2 naming masters; Tom at 2:47, both characters belong to gold; Tom at 2:59 & 3:08, the meaning of the *pronunciation* (tone) of the first 2 words from his example, 乘風破浪 (sing4 fung1 po3 long6, which original meaning is to follow the wind and break the waves. Then, it also used as a metaphor for people with lofty aspirations, not afraid of difficulties, and forging ahead bravely), is quite meaningful... I guess Levi's Chinese name characters are 鋮鋒, which match Tom at 3:11, sing4 doesn't mean anything special (I agree, if it was 鋮), and 3:19, fung1 is like... means the tip (edge) of the knife (so that's 鋒) 😀 Since Tom mentioned more than once *the pronunciation of the words* , I think he's using words with gold aspect and good meaning from the pronunciation of the words to name Levi's Chinese name... just guessing here 🤓
Levi is a great name! Made us think of AOT.. Everyone seems to be naming their children super unique names (Midnight, Wolfie) so this was a pleasant suprise
Levi looks like the perfect blend of you and Tom, he is so cute. I love the name Levi, he suits it so much and it is so unique. I personally love unique names or names with strong stories behind them because it makes the names feel more loving and impactful. Also I loved Carol’s recipes on your Instagram, I made a few of them and they were delicious! She seems so sweet, it’s so nice that you and Tom got help from someone so knowledgeable about baby care and you got help with recovery in a healthy and caring way. I can’t wait for the break down video of it all. You’re doing great Taylor, your hard work and love for your son is so admirable, you truly are a fantastic mama!
Really respect your decision to have at-home care. One you're providing a job opportunity and two you're realizing what you need. Not many can afford it but that just means people can see this as motivation if they are attempting to have that goal to become an entrepreneur. Love that her and you are sharing information with us so we can gain these insights/knowledge.
Taylor I’ve been watching you for 6 years and I cannot explain how much it warms my heart to see you living the life you have worked so hard for and deserve. I’m not alone when I say you have made such a beautiful impact on my life. We are rooting for you and your wonderful family Taylor!!!! sending love ♡˚✧₊⁎
@@danaberries sorry but I have to say this because this isn’t the first time I see comments like this. Not every Asian or in this case half Asian person that looks “cool” has to become a Kpop idol. Cool ≠ Kpop idol. It’s a bit weird. The entertainment industry is not as sparkling as it looks. Of course, you could never know what Levi will pursue when he grows up. Whatever it is I hope he will happy. I hope you don’t take my comment the wrong way.
@@danaberries I have a friend who was a trainee, basically got cut by her company for dating. Idol culture is brutal, the stories I've heard from her are really dark. You can even see with what happened with Big Bang, and the Burning Sun scandals... It's nothing like what it's chalked up to be.
Levi is just adorable he's so handsome! He's lucky to have such beautiful parents congratulations Taylor & Tom. Happy 9th birthday 🎂 to Rosie! I love Rosie ❤ 😍 💖
Levi is such a nice name. When you announced his name I immediately thought of Levi Ackermann too and then subsequently you mentioned him I was like O.O Hahaha Anyways, love the meaning behind both his English and Cantonese names. So happy for you and your family and I know both you and Tom will be amazing parents to baby Levi. Sending you lots of love and support! Take care
I am just blown away by Taylor’s growth. Right after she had the baby I re-watched some of her past videos; her Japan time in baby doll and Rosie, vlogmas in Canada, moving to HK from Japan, her trips with Elbowsan to France. So much has happened, she has matured so much, become so real and enriched and has created a magnificent life overflowing with love, overcoming her personal adversities. Its impressive. She did herself proud. A proud mama who handles things like a lady😊
I think it's so wonderful that you are integrating traditional Chinese aspects into raising your baby. I'm mixed race, I'm half Thai, and its absolutely a gift that my mother instilled in me the importance of my Thai culture. I grew up in Thailand and moved to the U.S. at the age of 7, and was so shocked how 'Americanized' the other Asian kids were. Their parents wanted them to fit in, but in doing so, they lost a lot of their cultural background. My American cousin married a half Chinese man, and he has 0 knowledge about his own family's culture or language, which is a shame, because Chinese culture is one of the most interesting and influential cultures.
It depends from person to person. Some people feel gifted and profit having experience in two different cultures and languages but for others it can be difficult and even more complicated. Especially when not one language is properly spoken but constant mixing.
Well not everyone asks to be born into the situation they're in, it's not something we can control. I couldn't control the fact I was born into a household where my mom's culture wasn't exposed to me. Does that make me less of a person? I don't think so, but your comment kind has underlying tones of superiority and judgement, which are not understanding towards other people's situations.
@@MsPaulisa im assuming it’s 承鋒 (pronounced as “sing4 fung1”, sorry if I butchered the official Cantonese spelling thingy, I did look it up but could be wrong x) I’m assuming that’s the way to write the Chinese, I could be wrong as there’s various ways to write Chinese names that sound the same! But based on Elbow-san’s explanation, the first character has the ‘carrying’ meaning and the second has the ‘gold’ aspect to it!
So happy for you! I’m going through infertility with my husband right now, and watching you gives me so much hope. He’s so precious! Beautiful family 🥰 I love your channel ❤️
The evolution from "Elbow-san" barely showing up in just a few videos, to now chants of "🎶Elbows high, and bounce, pat, walk" as he comforts their son, Levi. What a journey.
Taylor, it’s so amazing seeing little Levi after joining you on this journey. I love the meaning behind his English and Chinese names. Can you show us the Chinese characters for his name? (I was hoping they’d pop up on the screen when you revealed it!)
Chinese speaker here! I believe the name is 铖锋. It is the same phonetically as those letters in the proverb they talked about but not quite the same meaning. The first character represents pure gold and accomplishment. The second character is a more commonly used one in boy's names and like they said, represents bravery. Hope this helps!
@@georgisalmini1211 So the romanization is actually different with mandarin and cantonese since the characters are pronounced differently. In mandarin, it is romanized as Cheng Feng (which is how I typed the name out using the pinyin keyboard). In cantonese, like how they said the name in the video, it is romanized as Shing Fung.
I love that you named him Levi!! As AOT watchers, we are obsessed! Skims were also my bestfriend postpartum and I found that taking acv supplements have helped with my weight loss! I use the one from baby blues and they are amazing!
I’m a huge Attack on Titan fan, so the second you said “Levi” I was like, “Like Attack on Titan Levi?!?!” I love it :) and I love that Chinese culture puts a lot of importance on it. Both his names are awesome, and I hope he grows into them.
Having flash backs to your sleepover vlogs, prank video calls, and silly fun DIYs 6 years ago. We both got married around the same time and now we’ve both got our little ones 💖 it’s been such a neat experience to go through these big life changes along side you, thank you for sharing them with us!
Aww, Levi is adorable!! Love the name as well. My sons name is Brett. Short and sweet! I love how the Chinese culture focuses on the healing of the mother as well as the wellness of the baby. A healthy mom is definitely super important!! A very balanced mindset. Love it!
I love hearing how to chose his name! My grandparents immigrated to northern Manitoba in the 50s. I grew up in Canada but they gave me a Chinese name. I was born in an airplane on September 11 1989 and they chose Poi Sun
Everything you are experiencing is so incredible, your family is lucky to been able to afford the nanny and even the fortune tellers for the names, such an interesting journey. Very happy to see you both parenting and living the dream, this is absolutely how raising a child should look like: love, companion, guidance. Wish you the best!
He’s so gorgeous! And I’m so happy to finally know your sweet boys name. Levi I love it. I also think it’s great that he has a Chinese name as well. Your life may be messier and crazier than ever but that’s okay as long as you’re happy ❤️
Definitely feel you on the roller coaster! I’ve been waiting to adopt children for 3.5 years. We finally have been placed with two lovely girls. Love starting a family!
I’m also married for 3yrs now and we’re still wishing for a child. Seeing you both went through the same struggle and now have your own little angel, motivates me not to lose hope. By the way, I’ve been a huge fan of u & Rosie that I even bought my own toy poodle last 2018. Her name’s Yuki & she’s now turning 4. She’s been our little joy ever since.🫶🏻
Now I'm not a huge fan of babies/children, but your son is one of the most ADORABLE babies I have ever seen. He's so calm and, I don't know how to explain it, but he has a wise look in his eyes. Congratulations both of you! Wishing you happiness and health ❤️
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy 👶 I remember feeling the same when we "graduated" from our IVF clinic (here in Australia) and said goodbye to the staff, leaving with our baby girl. We finished the roller-coaster ride that is IVF in 2020 with baby girl number two - our lockdown baby 👶 😊
Little Levi is turning into a beautiful chonker. Mom is feeding him well! Love the name, glad to see you're doing well! And happy belated b-day to sweet Rosie!
I was actually crying through the whole video because I'm just so happy that you and Tom finally achived this miracle. I wish you the best of luck and you are gonna be the best mother little Levi could wish for.😊
I’m so happy a lot of the care was focused on you, Taylor. Mama is extremely important 🤍 i wish both of my previous pregnancies and births were more centered on me when it came to support and healing, but I know better now on my third of what I need and what isn’t exactly necessary for ME to do after just having a baby. Hi baby Levi 🥰
So happy for you! I struggled with infertility myself, I know how heart breaking it is when you just want a baby and it's so easy for other people. It took me 8 years to get pregnant. I had completely given up and adopted a child when I finally got pregnant. I had a boy too. Congratulations!!
Happy early Mother’s Day, Miss Taylor. 💖 Congratulations on being a mother, and Happy Birthday to Rosie. 👏🏻🐶 It takes time to get back to regular life, as well as adopting a child.
I’ve been sooooo looking forward to this! Don’t apologize for anything. You are a busy mother, wife and business owner. Cherish this time, they grow up so quickly! Thank you for sharing with us… I’ve been wanting to see more about your 30 day confinement!
I remember watching your videos in middle school, getting up early every morning before school to catch your videos as they dropped. Seeing your videos now makes me so emotional , and i always look forward to these baby updates now! I’m happy to see where you are now after all these years, and hoping your happiness continues long after
I cried when you danced him on your lap, you look so happy and you deserve motherhood so, so much! You and Tom are wonderful parents. I've followed you since your Japan days and I can't explain how emotional it makes me seeing you all so happy :')
Levi is one lucky boy to have such wonderful parents. He is the most perfect beautiful boy I have ever seen. I named my daughter Victoria Breanne which means "victorious warrior" and it came to mind when you explained the meaning of Levi's names. I also have an Elijah and a Solomon. So happy for your family.
This internet auntie is even more in love! The name is just perfect, both of them. You know when you look at someone and the name just fits? That was it for me. Congrats for everything, and good luck on the next part of the ride
13:57 Literally started crying here because it's just so amazing to see you both love this little human 💛 It's really common for it not to be this way in this world, so I'm just so happy for this little bean. Love you guys 💛
It’s so strange how this whole time I never thought about his name or that we didn’t know it yet I was just excited to see him here after the long journey so happy for your family I love seeing snippets
honestly Levi is the sweetest looking baby! He just looks so peaceful and adorable the entire time. I'm so happy to see you with him and I just know that baby is going to be amazingly loved his entire life.
Levi is soooo cute and you are so amazing and incredibly strong spirited!! I think that if I had to undergo everything you did, I would not want to try again. I wish you all the luck on baby #2!
My son is half Cantonese and half white, also named Levi! It is such a perfect name. He does get “Levi’s” like the Jean brand from some of his Cantonese family but it is nice and easy to pronounce!
Based on the descriptions, I'm guessing the characters are 承鋒! If so, love the contrasting stroke counts and blend of sweeping and straight strokes. And that it's a homonym with the 乘風破浪 idiom!
Great names! I must say that this whole thing, the Chinese confinement, is so, so interesting to me - I'm really looking forward to your vlog about it. Wish I could have had that kind of care after my 2 births!
He is one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen! And it’s nice to have a sort of helper/nanny with you, especially when your mom isn’t their to teach some stuff. Congratulations again❤️🥰
I love how your mindset focus is in "becoming" and not in "bounce back". There are many things in life that change a person, and though I've never been pregnant it's obvious that after that experience you never go back to the person you were before, so it's crazy how society portrays "successful" moms to go "back on track" immediately in mind, energy, body, pace of life, etc. as if they did not become a different person after bringing an entire new human to the world. So excited to see this new phase on your life Taylor.
This is so bittersweet! I’ve been watching your videos back in the old days and can’t believe I’m crying this much for a stranger 😭. WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A SWEET & HUMBLE HUMAN BEING!!! ☺️😘🥰
I love his english name, im also obsessed with naming my kids as meaningful as possible because i want their names to really represent them. I just didnt quiet got his chinese name tho 😁
If you look in the description box and scroll down you will see a box that says “Follow along with Transcript” “Show Transcript” I think, and if you go to where they say his name they have it written. Hope this helps!
Chinese speaker here! I believe the name is 铖锋. It is the same phonetically as those letters in the proverb they talked about but not quite the same meaning. The first character represents pure gold and accomplishment. The second character is a more commonly used one in boy's names and like they said, represents bravery. Hope this helps!
I really like the idea of confinement method. It seems like it would be an ideal way to help and heal mothers. And everyone could need a little help at the start with something as big responsibility as a baby. And the name Levi and it’s meaning is really meaningful and a really solid name. I’m so happy for you and your family.
Hi Taylor, I don’t usually leave comments but I feel like I have to let you how happy I’m for you. Baby Levi is absolutely adorable! So happy for you and Tom 🥰🥰
It's crazy how much you have grown into such an inspiration for so many people! I have been watching your channel grow for almost 4 years now, literally had "taylor r" at the top of my RUclips search history from being so inspired by your lifestyle. Thanks for being so authentically you
I really appreciate the explanation for both names, they're so thoughtful and they both have a really nice ring to them! I'm glad to see that things have been good for you and Tom, your happiness is pouring through the screen and we love to see that
I love that it feels like when all his names are combined you'd think of the saying 'You Have a Heart of Gold' He absolutely will- bringing so much joy and light in your lives! Wishing youwellness and happiness🌟✨🌈🥺🪙😇
I had a strong feeling that his name was gonna start with an L! I was thinking maybe Liam, Leo.. I literally said "ah! ☺️" in my living room when his name showed up! It is the best name I can't get over it! ❤️
I had my first son in January and his name is Levi too!! Attack on Titan is what made my husband and I think of the name as an option in the first place also!
Awww tay. Now you’re a mom 🥹🥹 cute baby following you since you used to dress up as dolly . ❤️ I’m so happy for you and you still look so beautiful you never age you’re a goddesss Even Rosie 🥹😍
Aaaaawww Taylor, your boy is just so undescribably cuuute! Such a beautiful bundle of love! I really like his name! Really looking forward to your video about the Chinese ostpartum care ...but don't feel pressured, just know, we are very interested and patiently waiting here. Enjoy your time together! Happy belated birthday Rosie!!!!🥳
it’s sooooo bittersweet isn’t it?- i remember i cry when i went for my checkup at the fertility clinic post partum. knowing i wouldn’t see the ladies there for awhile- and having the ultrasound & no baby because he’s already out of the womb!! such a roller coaster of emotions!!! 💙 love the meaning behind the name as well!! i’m from hk and move to canada- toronto and my husband born in canada - full irishmen 💫
AAAAHHHHHH HYPE HYPE HYPE I'LL EDIT MY COMMENT AFTER WATCHING Awww Levi. How cute! That definitely fits both of your energies. How you're a trendsetter with a chill energy, and Tom's adventurousness as well as being a hard worker. Love it. You're absolutely radiant. I know you're probably all over the place because of hormones and just feeling meh about your body but you look so healthy and happy.
Aw, you chose lovely names with great meanings! Glad you healed up well and were able to learn lots from Carol. I'm sure she was a great help for your recovery and to you and Tom in the initial stages of adjusting to parenthood and all it brings. Levi looks like he's growing well! 💕
Congratulations again, he’s adorable :) I’m 21 weeks with my first baby and I’ve finally decided on the name Max :) I had lots of names for a girl but boys names are so tough x
All babies are cute, but Levi is exceptionally so. He’s just so bright and sweet. For some reason the name doesn’t feel like a surprise at all. It suits him perfectly.
His Chinese name reminds me of the Irish Blessing; "May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields." There's several thousand variations to it but the basic jist is, it's a blessing for good fortune, health and many blessings upon your hearth (the fields could be your home, your country, etc). Also, he's such a cutie! And when he cried at 5:12 my one cat, Lou aka Mama Kitty, came running and was looking at me like "Mom? Do you have some explaining to do???!!!" x'D
I never comment but I wanted to say thank you . I started watching around the time I got my infertility diagnosis (low egg count) . It gave me an idea of what my road ahead was. You are one of my favorite creators on RUclips and make me really want to visit Hong Kong!
You're doing amazingly well Taylor, I'm so so genuinely happy to see you and your family grow, I've been watching your videos since your cute phase so you could say it's been a while and honestly, I could not be any prouder of you, and thankful that beside all the obstacles that unfortunately you had to go through, you kept fighting, you're incredibly inspiring and seriously, you're doing so so great, and also may I add, looking gorgeous as ever too. Keep it going Tay, you're a true Queen!
I wish I had seen your video when I had my kids. I spent to much time trying to “bounce back” I caused myself some serious mental health problems. It took about 4 years after my last child for me to start looking at my body differently. I really appreciate that you mentioned not wanting to use the word bounce back I’m hope this helps other moms recovering from childbirth
I still remember the time you couldn’t get pregnant. It’s wonderful to see your baby now! That proves that one can achieve anything, it’ll give hope to infertile people!❤️❤️
Me and Taylor were pregnant at the same time. Due date one week apart... I watched all her vlogs and always compared her pregnancy and her experiences to mine. I called my son Eren and she called her son Levi?! I can’t stop laughing this is so amazing for me 😂
omg congratulations!!!!! SO cute 🥺
Omg what are the odds 😂
the coincidence!! that's so cool
Nxxaww that's so sweet. Congratulations. Hope you and the baby are good
Hahahaha, it must be fate! Congratulations on your little bundle of joy!
Time does fly really fast. Taylor is literally glowing. You can see it in her eyes how extremely grateful she is to be granted the opportunity to finally become a mother. All the best of luck to your family, Taylor! It’s definitely good to see that you are doing well.
Aww that’s such a lovely meaning behind his name! I didn’t know it meant that🥺❤️❤️
Levi from attack on Titan took a whole different turn. Lol
Don't think too much.
For the chinese name "shing4" doesn't mean supporting, helping..."fung1" doesn't mean the leader of an army

Don’t know why I’m here or how I got to this comment but we’re Birthday twins! 💕
Everything you are experiencing is so incredible, your family is lucky to been able to afford the nanny and even the fortune tellers for the names, such an interesting journey. Very happy to see you both parenting and living the dream, this is absolutely how raising a child should look like: love, companion, guidance. Wish you the best!
I absolutely love the meaning behind the Chinese name, especially when you think of the journey you've had to bring Levi into this world.
this whole series has been so amazing, i really feel like Tay deserved an award for this - so informative but emotional and raw at the same time
He’s so gorgeous! And I’m so happy to finally know your sweet boys name. Levi I love it. I also think it’s great that he has a Chinese name as well. Your life may be messier and crazier than ever but that’s okay as long as you’re happy ❤️
what was the chinese name?
@@dreaming222 they Said it at 2:43 it Sounds like SHING FUNG
Definitely feel you on the roller coaster! I’ve been waiting to adopt children for 3.5 years. We finally have been placed with two lovely girls. Love starting a family!
You’ve always been gorgeous but lately you have this new glow that makes you look even more beautiful! Your skin looks great too!
I’m also married for 3yrs now and we’re still wishing for a child. Seeing you both went through the same struggle and now have your own little angel, motivates me not to lose hope.
By the way, I’ve been a huge fan of u & Rosie that I even bought my own toy poodle last 2018. Her name’s Yuki & she’s now turning 4. She’s been our little joy ever since.🫶🏻
You and mia maples make me think that Canadians have the most beautiful hearts ever
Yes! They are literally my 2 favourite RUclipsrs and they relax me so much with their wholesome content!! 🥰
Ok thank you. I was trying to think of who she reminded me of.
Most of us do!! But we do have our fair share of nasty people here in canada as well sadly.
Now I'm not a huge fan of babies/children, but your son is one of the most ADORABLE babies I have ever seen. He's so calm and, I don't know how to explain it, but he has a wise look in his eyes. Congratulations both of you! Wishing you happiness and health ❤️
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy 👶
I remember feeling the same when we "graduated" from our IVF clinic (here in Australia) and said goodbye to the staff, leaving with our baby girl. We finished the roller-coaster ride that is IVF in 2020 with baby girl number two - our lockdown baby 👶 😊
Little Levi is turning into a beautiful chonker. Mom is feeding him well! Love the name, glad to see you're doing well! And happy belated b-day to sweet Rosie!
I was actually crying through the whole video because I'm just so happy that you and Tom finally achived this miracle. I wish you the best of luck and you are gonna be the best mother little Levi could wish for.😊
I’m so happy a lot of the care was focused on you, Taylor. Mama is extremely important 🤍 i wish both of my previous pregnancies and births were more centered on me when it came to support and healing, but I know better now on my third of what I need and what isn’t exactly necessary for ME to do after just having a baby. Hi baby Levi 🥰
That's so true
So true, all women should be given this sort of post partum care, must be really good for the mind and body.
Just wanted to say I’m so happy you’re happy, from a 17 year old girl that loves you and has been watching since 12! ❤️❤️
So happy for you! I struggled with infertility myself, I know how heart breaking it is when you just want a baby and it's so easy for other people. It took me 8 years to get pregnant. I had completely given up and adopted a child when I finally got pregnant. I had a boy too. Congratulations!!
Happy early Mother’s Day, Miss Taylor. 💖
Congratulations on being a mother, and Happy Birthday to Rosie. 👏🏻🐶
It takes time to get back to regular life, as well as adopting a child.
Thank you Jerome! ☺️
I’ve been sooooo looking forward to this! Don’t apologize for anything. You are a busy mother, wife and business owner. Cherish this time, they grow up so quickly! Thank you for sharing with us… I’ve been wanting to see more about your 30 day confinement!
My dog just turned 9 too! We had a big birthday party for her!!! Happy Birthday Rosie!! 🎂
I remember watching your videos in middle school, getting up early every morning before school to catch your videos as they dropped. Seeing your videos now makes me so emotional , and i always look forward to these baby updates now! I’m happy to see where you are now after all these years, and hoping your happiness continues long after
I cried when you danced him on your lap, you look so happy and you deserve motherhood so, so much! You and Tom are wonderful parents. I've followed you since your Japan days and I can't explain how emotional it makes me seeing you all so happy :')
A confinement nanny. What a great idea, I wish I had one of those when my children were babies. ❤️
Levi is one lucky boy to have such wonderful parents. He is the most perfect beautiful boy I have ever seen. I named my daughter Victoria Breanne which means "victorious warrior" and it came to mind when you explained the meaning of Levi's names. I also have an Elijah and a Solomon. So happy for your family.
Aw you both look so happy! They way you both look at Levi is so heartwarming. 🫶
Im following u for years and im so happy to see u with a baby in your arms aww so cute
This internet auntie is even more in love! The name is just perfect, both of them. You know when you look at someone and the name just fits? That was it for me. Congrats for everything, and good luck on the next part of the ride
Levi is the cutest baby I've ever seen. He grew up so fast already!
13:57 Literally started crying here because it's just so amazing to see you both love this little human 💛 It's really common for it not to be this way in this world, so I'm just so happy for this little bean. Love you guys 💛
Can't wait for this 💖 Hope you and baby are doing really well, Taylor! Don't be silly about how "long" it took to do this video 🌟🌟🌟
It’s so strange how this whole time I never thought about his name or that we didn’t know it yet I was just excited to see him here after the long journey so happy for your family I love seeing snippets
honestly Levi is the sweetest looking baby! He just looks so peaceful and adorable the entire time. I'm so happy to see you with him and I just know that baby is going to be amazingly loved his entire life.
Levi is soooo cute and you are so amazing and incredibly strong spirited!! I think that if I had to undergo everything you did, I would not want to try again. I wish you all the luck on baby #2!
My son is half Cantonese and half white, also named Levi! It is such a perfect name. He does get “Levi’s” like the Jean brand from some of his Cantonese family but it is nice and easy to pronounce!
Based on the descriptions, I'm guessing the characters are 承鋒! If so, love the contrasting stroke counts and blend of sweeping and straight strokes. And that it's a homonym with the 乘風破浪 idiom!
Great names! I must say that this whole thing, the Chinese confinement, is so, so interesting to me - I'm really looking forward to your vlog about it. Wish I could have had that kind of care after my 2 births!
He is one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen! And it’s nice to have a sort of helper/nanny with you, especially when your mom isn’t their to teach some stuff.
Congratulations again❤️🥰
I love learning the meanings behind names, especially when there is a cultural meaning. Definitely worth the wait to find out your son's name!
cant wait to hear him speak and hopefully “KENNNYYYYYYY” will be his first word 🥰
Aaaaahahaha or "oi oi oi mate mate"
Little warrior Levi embodies everything it took for him to be born. Beautiful baby warrior
It's almost that time in the States, so Happy Mother's Day, Taylor! And welcome to the world, Levi! Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
I love how your mindset focus is in "becoming" and not in "bounce back". There are many things in life that change a person, and though I've never been pregnant it's obvious that after that experience you never go back to the person you were before, so it's crazy how society portrays "successful" moms to go "back on track" immediately in mind, energy, body, pace of life, etc. as if they did not become a different person after bringing an entire new human to the world. So excited to see this new phase on your life Taylor.
I LOVEEEE BOTH NAMES!! They suit him perfectly💕💕
Aww yay! We think so too 🥰
I didn't catch the chinese one. What was it?
@@MsPaulisa feng
@@seajay2157 ok, thanks
This is so bittersweet! I’ve been watching your videos back in the old days and can’t believe I’m crying this much for a stranger 😭. WE LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!! YOU ARE SUCH A SWEET & HUMBLE HUMAN BEING!!! ☺️😘🥰
I love his english name, im also obsessed with naming my kids as meaningful as possible because i want their names to really represent them. I just didnt quiet got his chinese name tho 😁
Me neither! I wish she wrote it 😕
I could not hear the name either
If you look in the description box and scroll down you will see a box that says “Follow along with Transcript” “Show Transcript” I think, and if you go to where they say his name they have it written. Hope this helps!
Chinese speaker here! I believe the name is 铖锋. It is the same phonetically as those letters in the proverb they talked about but not quite the same meaning. The first character represents pure gold and accomplishment. The second character is a more commonly used one in boy's names and like they said, represents bravery. Hope this helps!
Please make a video in the future about products you bought but can't recommend and what you bought later on and love, would be super helpful :)
Awww when I heard Levi I immediately thought of Levi Ackerman! What a great name, and what a meaningful meaning, as well as his chinese name
I really like the idea of confinement method. It seems like it would be an ideal way to help and heal mothers. And everyone could need a little help at the start with something as big responsibility as a baby. And the name Levi and it’s meaning is really meaningful and a really solid name. I’m so happy for you and your family.
Bless him!! He's got the sweetest face!
Thank you ❤️❤️
I’m already so excited for the next video.
Hi Taylor, I don’t usually leave comments but I feel like I have to let you how happy I’m for you. Baby Levi is absolutely adorable! So happy for you and Tom 🥰🥰
It's crazy how much you have grown into such an inspiration for so many people! I have been watching your channel grow for almost 4 years now, literally had "taylor r" at the top of my RUclips search history from being so inspired by your lifestyle. Thanks for being so authentically you
I really appreciate the explanation for both names, they're so thoughtful and they both have a really nice ring to them! I'm glad to see that things have been good for you and Tom, your happiness is pouring through the screen and we love to see that
I love that it feels like when all his names are combined you'd think of the saying 'You Have a Heart of Gold' He absolutely will- bringing so much joy and light in your lives! Wishing youwellness and happiness🌟✨🌈🥺🪙😇
I loved the name Levi !! When he grow up he will watch AoT and he will LOVE his name !
He looks like such a happy baby. Please do a video about your most used baby items and what you think you wouldn't get it again
I had a strong feeling that his name was gonna start with an L! I was thinking maybe Liam, Leo.. I literally said "ah! ☺️" in my living room when his name showed up! It is the best name I can't get over it! ❤️
So proud of you and Tom! We prayed for Levi and here he is!
Love that name! I was going to name my son Levi from AOT but then I had a daughter 😂♥️ I name her Charli (Charlotte)
My friend has a daughter named Levi and it suits her so well! And now I kinda consider it a feminine name because of her lol
I immediately thought of Attack on Titan! Also plays into fashion - Levi Strauss! So cool 😎 happy for you both!!
I had my first son in January and his name is Levi too!! Attack on Titan is what made my husband and I think of the name as an option in the first place also!
Awww tay. Now you’re a mom 🥹🥹 cute baby following you since you used to dress up as dolly . ❤️ I’m so happy for you and you still look so beautiful you never age you’re a goddesss
Even Rosie 🥹😍
Aaaaawww Taylor, your boy is just so undescribably cuuute! Such a beautiful bundle of love! I really like his name! Really looking forward to your video about the Chinese ostpartum care ...but don't feel pressured, just know, we are very interested and patiently waiting here. Enjoy your time together! Happy belated birthday Rosie!!!!🥳
it’s sooooo bittersweet isn’t it?- i remember i cry when i went for my checkup at the fertility clinic post partum. knowing i wouldn’t see the ladies there for awhile- and having the ultrasound & no baby because he’s already out of the womb!!
such a roller coaster of emotions!!!
💙
love the meaning behind the name as well!! i’m from hk and move to canada- toronto and my husband born in canada - full irishmen
💫
Hi Taylor, Tom, Levi and Rosie!
Beautiful story and family.
You will do fine after Carol leaves...don't worry. 🥰
I love the name Levi Taylor and Tom.
He looks like a healthy baby...he is going to be pampered.
I can't believe that Rosie is a senior...63.
AAAAHHHHHH HYPE HYPE HYPE I'LL EDIT MY COMMENT AFTER WATCHING
Awww Levi. How cute! That definitely fits both of your energies. How you're a trendsetter with a chill energy, and Tom's adventurousness as well as being a hard worker. Love it.
You're absolutely radiant. I know you're probably all over the place because of hormones and just feeling meh about your body but you look so healthy and happy.
Aw, you chose lovely names with great meanings! Glad you healed up well and were able to learn lots from Carol. I'm sure she was a great help for your recovery and to you and Tom in the initial stages of adjusting to parenthood and all it brings. Levi looks like he's growing well! 💕
Congratulations again, he’s adorable :) I’m 21 weeks with my first baby and I’ve finally decided on the name Max :) I had lots of names for a girl but boys names are so tough x
Max is cute for boy or girl.
I love the name Max is remind me of Maxime is a french name
I started watching your videos once I started my fertility journey.. The way you handled the highs and lows was always a strength for me
Congratulations again, Taylor! Your son is so cute, and I couldn’t be happier for you all. Your videos are always calming and informative. 💗
All babies are cute, but Levi is exceptionally so. He’s just so bright and sweet. For some reason the name doesn’t feel like a surprise at all. It suits him perfectly.
His Chinese name reminds me of the Irish Blessing;
"May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields."
There's several thousand variations to it but the basic jist is, it's a blessing for good fortune, health and many blessings upon your hearth (the fields could be your home, your country, etc).
Also, he's such a cutie! And when he cried at 5:12 my one cat, Lou aka Mama Kitty, came running and was looking at me like "Mom? Do you have some explaining to do???!!!" x'D
LEVI like Levi Ackerman I'm completly in love with this name. Such a good choise!
Such a cool name! Welcome to the world Levi❤️👶🏻
I never comment but I wanted to say thank you . I started watching around the time I got my infertility diagnosis (low egg count) . It gave me an idea of what my road ahead was. You are one of my favorite creators on RUclips and make me really want to visit Hong Kong!
You're doing amazingly well Taylor, I'm so so genuinely happy to see you and your family grow, I've been watching your videos since your cute phase so you could say it's been a while and honestly, I could not be any prouder of you, and thankful that beside all the obstacles that unfortunately you had to go through, you kept fighting, you're incredibly inspiring and seriously, you're doing so so great, and also may I add, looking gorgeous as ever too. Keep it going Tay, you're a true Queen!
I wish I had seen your video when I had my kids. I spent to much time trying to “bounce back” I caused myself some serious mental health problems. It took about 4 years after my last child for me to start looking at my body differently. I really appreciate that you mentioned not wanting to use the word bounce back I’m hope this helps other moms recovering from childbirth
I still remember the time you couldn’t get pregnant. It’s wonderful to see your baby now! That proves that one can achieve anything, it’ll give hope to infertile people!❤️❤️
