Loren.. I love your videos! && your sweet kids are precious. Would you consider doing a video on managing your finances on a teachers salary with five young kids? You seem to make it all work and I need all the help I can get!
I went into preterm labour at 24 weeks and I 100% know how scary it all is and also so stressful when you have nothing ready. You just don’t expect anything to happen so soon. The doctors managed to stop my labour/contractions with medications and luckily we are now 33 weeks pregnant and baby is still happily swimming in my belly :) I hope things go well for you and wishing you the best of luck xx
Praying for little Cruz to stay in just a little longer and for you all to find some calm in your hearts. I can't imagine how terrifying it all must be, but have faith, everything will be okay. 💜
Hello, my baby was born at 33 weeks after a placenta abruption. I found it really hard to produce milk and put a lot of pressure on myself too. Keep at it! Stay strong! Your baby is blessed to have such a loving mum! Xx
PLEASE don’t reuse the kiinde bags! There’s no way to completely get all the moisture out & they grow mold so easily & you can’t see it. Please please please don’t reuse them. Also the light up nail clippers are a pain 😂 the plastic around the metal clippers just gets in the way but that’s where the lights are. We threw them away & bought the regular ones.
Prayers going out to your family! We got the same Ubbi diaper pail in chrome and can't wait to use it! Oddly the Ubbi diaper pail was something I was really looking forward to getting 😂 BTW I worked in the infant room at a preschool for the past year and a half (currently on maternity leave) and one of my favorite "bottles" was the Kiinde Twist because they warmed up so quickly and were so easy to dispose. The only downfall to them is that you'd probably go through a lot unless you plan on just breastfeeding rather than feeding from the bottle. (:
Can you give us a house tour? I know safety for you kids is something that’s important so maybe just don’t show us the layout of your house, but you can show us each room and how it looks and it’s decorated? I didn’t check to see if you already have a house tour, lol. But maybe you can do one when you reveal the nursery? Btw, love his name!! Cruz is unique and such a cute little name for a boy. Good luck and I hope you get to carry him for as long as your body can! 💙
I know you’re dealing with baby Cruz in the nicu but I have to say thank you for sharing about the baby dome. I just had our 4th and my oldest (6) starts soccer next week and this will save my sanity! Praying for your family! I’m glad I found your channel💙💙💙💓💙
You’re welcome. I love that I could help you 💙⚽️ I know all about how busy it is to have a baby with older kids in activities. I think it’ll help out SO much when they need a break from the stroller. I’m actually snuggling my baby boy in NICU as I type this. He’s doing even more amazingly than we could’ve hoped. Thank you for the prayers, Briana. We hope to bring his little self home soon... &, even sooner, get his CPAP off and all this tape and be able to see is little face for the first time, and be able to feed him. 💕 All of that should be very soon, Lord willing.
pink after blue that makes me so happy! I’m so glad you got to cuddle your boy! God is good He makes all things work together for your good! I can’t wait to see where Cruz is a year from now!
White noise sound maker, the breast milk collector cups, and the baby monitor camera. Your video was awesome! I now have 87 items in my registry thanks to you. How’s your little Prince doing?
I’m 28 weeks pregnant and went in to, is it called labor? In Sweden it’s like, I’m not IN labor but I hade to check so everything was okey. And it was, I’m so nervous and I can understand it’s hard for you to, hope the baby stays I little longer. For both of us ❤️💙
I remember this time so well with my daughter while I was pregnant and then when she was newborn with all the baby products. It makes me have baby fever so bad. 😅
SOOO my little one is 8mo old and I'm ordering her the lucy darling baby book! Does she already have a baby book, yes. Is it as amazing as the one you have, no. :)
I just cannot believe some of the comments. They are not only nosy but accusatory of why you are having another baby. Also saying you should not have to buy anything because you have 4 other kids! First off you should not have to explain why you are having a baby or why you bought more things for Cruz when you have had 4 other babies. Jenna is still a baby and is using all the baby things she needs. I had 8 and needed new stuff for each baby my babies in total are over 18 years apart. Every year new and improved items are coming out. Congrats on your new baby boy.
Cradle cap is extremely common. Only two out of four of my babies really had it, but I think one time I had to remove a little from Jenna’s head and it never came back. It’s tiny pieces of skin on the top of their head that look a little scaley but are a little oiley-feeling. It is something that naturally happens from the oil production of their hair follicles. It’s not caused by anything you do or don’t do, it just happens sometimes. You can peel it off but it will come back and kind of flake in their hair. Like I said in the video, warming up some oil at home and putting it on their head and letting it soak, and then scrubbing it off after a few minutes with the hospital scrub brush is the best method I’ve found for getting rid of it completely. In some babies it will come back, and for some it’ll be gone. No matter what you do hygiene-wise it could happen to your baby. It doesn’t harm them, it just kinda looks unsightly.
Out of my 8 babies like 5 or 6 had it also my granddaughter who I babysat as a baby. The best time to scrub it off is when the baby is sleeping. Then as soon or if it returns do it right away before the whole head gets it again. Baby oil is what I used. My youngest is 15 I have 8 almost all grown kids. Plus my grandkids are 12 and 8. There are so many amazing baby products I would have loved when mine were little
We are having our 4th boy soon. I personally got use out of the wipe warmer. I did pour water on it once a day so it didn't dry the wipes out or I would use a blow dryer to warm wipes up. My babys always hate diaper changes when very little. I also used a blow dryer at the changing table to dry their bum off since my kids got rashes super easy the first 3 months. Nipple cream (Lanolin) was the beat diaper cream ever. I've tried everything possible.
I highly recommend u packing the fan u bought in ur hospital bag for the birth... I find hospitals too hot n stuffy especially during labour... I also recommend some items on amazon called “little Leo”... There bibs r amazing n the company is run by a RUclips momma n daddy... I’m so happy ur home again n Cruz is still cooking... I’ve got everything crossed he stays that way too Hunnie... Just take it easy as much as u possibly can (easier said than done I know)... xxx
Try rubbing alcohol to get the stickiness off. I’m curious why you had to hurry up and order the items because he would have been in the hospital for a month or two? All of your items you picked out are very nice looking. I really like that stroller. I pray that baby stays put for a few more months.
You should check out earls family blog the have a company they started with baby products I think the baby bandanna bibs and car seat cover or breast feeding cover. I think it’s called leo co it might be in there description
What did you do with the stuff from other babies?? You bought so many new things... And so much new plastic just because it is not the right color????? Hmmm. It makes me uncomfortable....
I donated it to other families or sold it to Once Upon a Child when we were done with it after we had a miscarriage after Jenna. We didn’t buy anything because it wasn’t the right color - Jenna still uses everything that she has, so we bought our favorite products we need for both of them (wipe dispenser & diaper pail) again in a diff color for Cruz’s room.
5:43 “I’m sorry if you hear my kids...they’re here...and they’re awake...” 🤣 best comment ever
I’m getting so many ideas! 🎉🎉 great finds! The dresses are wonderful!!
Still praying for Cruz. He is getting so big. Thanks for the update.
Loren.. I love your videos! && your sweet kids are precious. Would you consider doing a video on managing your finances on a teachers salary with five young kids? You seem to make it all work and I need all the help I can get!
Where do you teach? I know teacher salaries can vary so widely.
You’re an amazing parent! Cruz will be so thankful and grateful to have you as his mom! You bought many amazing items. I absolutely love your dresses!
I went into preterm labour at 24 weeks and I 100% know how scary it all is and also so stressful when you have nothing ready. You just don’t expect anything to happen so soon.

Jéssica Bee she had her baby at 29 weeks
Great video and products!
Thank you, Rebecca!

I’m a new mommy and having my baby girl in August and this video let me tell you is so helpful!!! Thank you 😊
I’m so glad it helped 💕

Take care of yourself, get some rest, put your feet up. Dont worry about the swelling. All for a good cause. Great haul xo
I bet that was so fun for your boys! Yes girl on the fan! I live in Texas too so I feel your pain on the heat!
They did love it! Mama was in no place to help.
Praying for baby Cruz sending my love to you and your family 💙
Prayers going out to your family! We got the same Ubbi diaper pail in chrome and can't wait to use it! Oddly the Ubbi diaper pail was something I was really looking forward to getting 😂

Use rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer to get the tape residue off
so much good stuff! loved it.
You did a great job on this haul! Best wishes!
Keeping you all in my prayers ❤️ great haul 💙

Praying for Cruz, he is blessed by Jesus.
I’m due with my baby boy in July as well 💙. Loved your haul it gave me great ideas.
I’m glad I could help 💕
I’m so annoyed that someone disliked this video 🙄 she’s sets off such a humble nice mother giving good realistic advice

I’m soooo glad! 💕 What was your favorite thing?
White noise sound maker, the breast milk collector cups, and the baby monitor camera. Your video was awesome! I now have 87 items in my registry thanks to you. How’s your little Prince doing?
Baby Crockett LOL! Well I’m so glad you found some things you needed!
He’s doing soooo good! He’s such a little fighter. He just broke 3 lbs 🏆
To God be the glory!!! Rooting and praying for you all!
Loved this video! So happy Cruz is still baking!
I saved so many of these items. I don’t see the mattress? Which mattress did you end up going with? 😀
Helpful video! Thank you!
Hoping he stays in for a little longer! Loved your haul❤️❤️ you got some amazing things! Xoxo
Ryan and Rose sells a flat pacifier on their website that’s more like the one your other kids have liked.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
What kind of bed rest are you on? You mentioned getting home from work. Glad your baby is still hanging "in there"!
I wasn’t put on bedrest.
I thought you mentioned it. Good luck to you.
How did you end up liking the double stroller? That’s the one I’m leaning towards: I also wanted the uppa baby but it’s just sooo expensive.
We looove the double stroller. We still use it every time.
Hi Texas friend/mama 🌵praying for you and baby!
Thank you, Melina! 💕
pink after blue you’re welcome!

loved watching you video xxxxx
SOOO my little one is 8mo old and I'm ordering her the lucy darling baby book! Does she already have a baby book, yes. Is it as amazing as the one you have, no. :)
Praying for baby Cruz, Will you adopt in the future or is your family complete ?
Our family is complete 💕
Alcohol swabs work great for getting stickies off.
where did you order the milestone blanket from?
Amazon 💕 It’s linked in the description box. Please lemme know if you need help.
How much did all this stuff cost??

Yep

I’ve never had preterm labor so I’m sure there must be some stress feelings of needing to be prepared that I have never experienced.
How did you get 50 percent off?
It's 15% off when you do a Amazon baby registry with prime
Detachol, its like a skin safe version of goo gone.
Did you say 15 percent off or 50 percent off?
15% off each item
I hope Cruz is okay
Thank you for your sweet thoughts 💕 I’ve already filmed an update.
