    Struggling with just one baby who is now about to become 2 months old having gas problems. What no one tells you is how isolating motherhood is even to the ones who love spending time alone. I had to call my in laws over just to have some company while my husband is at work.

    It can be really isolating to have a hard time as a parent. I don’t want other parents to struggle, but when they do, it’s really reassuring to the rest of us that they honestly share it. Thank you for sharing both the great and the hard with us.

    Thank you for the video, I found out that investing is not for everybody, you just need a strong stomach too see your portfolio go down. It might be wiser for a novice to start with copy trading investing, but it is not easy. To invest in growth stocks it is another level, definitely you need to know what are you doing.

      From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

      She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

    Thank you so much for your videos! They’ve really helped prepare my husband and I for our new baby, (born just yesterday~!). I was wondering however, if, when you get the chance, could you do a video on recovering from C Section? My water was broken, and I was Dilated to 7, when the baby suddenly flipped from head down, to breech, so while I was all prepared for healing from a regular delivery, I’m a bit lost when it comes to c section, other then realizing that up and down and bending is ouchie. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, and good luck with your family!

    I love it😂parenting is really, really hard! You can’t explain it fully until you’re in it. I discovered you guys on Instagram during the pandemic & love the content. I really wish that these videos were around when I was pregnant and my kids were little. I appreciate that you’re giving your perspective and your trained doctors. I can’t follow most advice on pregnancy and having children from some random stranger on the internet unless I know they’re qualified. Especially health and wellness advice! Same goes for any examples of any subject I’m looking for. I’m not going to get advice on how to change the oil in my car from a midwife I’m going to ask a mechanic. Common sense! Congratulations on your new baby as well. I have been behind on Instagram but was on RUclips and though wow I hadn’t seen you guys in a while. On my tv I have your channel so now I’ve added you to my phone. Thanks for the hard work putting these together while working demanding jobs, raising two babies and handling life in general all throughout a global pandemic !🥂🤗cheers

It's incredibly difficult at night when I'm tired, husband is tired, but she is not. Shes been awake for the last 2.5 hours now and I have no idea when she'll be ready to sleep.
