I still remember your emotional moment when you were trying to get pregnant and your worries about how it was taking longer than you thought. Then your pregnant announcement. And now you’re a mother. Your life is now forever changed and things that were so easy before require a different type of management. But, very much worth it. Blessings of good health to you both.
Congratulations, your baby is beautiful. 🧶👍🏻🇬🇧
"Oh my gosh, what have I done," said at some point every mother in the history of the world. 😂 You're not alone and your little Edvin is just adorable! Loved this episode! Thanks for sharing him with us!
So happy for you both.
I cried when you finished your gorgeous wedding dress, and cried again when you had your beautiful bundle! I'm 68 years old and you absolutely inspire me in so many ways! Love you so much!
As a former hospital maternity RN, I want to thank you for your honesty regarding your feelings related this new chapter of your life!! It must be such an overwhelming scary feeling when attending to your crying newborn, when you are also simply new to handling a baby, you've just been through surgery after a labor with complications, and you are still healing yourself. Then we can mention how exhausted women can be after delivery....while dealing with everything else at the same time. It's a lot, and you likely are handling things far better than you think. It's going to take time to adjust to your new lifestyle, and just remember to give yourself grace. Congratulations to both you and your husband on this new blessing in your life together. Your husband's demeanor (being relaxed), is probably a good balance for you! ENJOY this time.... stay hydrated and nourished, and remember....the 'body heals best at rest' (or so says one of the nuns at my nursing school back in 1990!!). 🤭 💕
I so so wish the nurses that took care of me and my newborn baby a year ago would have had your attitude. We need more people like you in healthcare ❤
@@Celebrinthal You words are so kind - thank you, but sad at the same time. 💕 When I suddenly became permanently disabled, I found myself accepting my new life to the best of my ability. Each time a new doctor/discipline became part of my medical team...the one thing that 'got me'....was answering the question....'What was your line of work?'. It brought me to tears every time for what seemed the longest time! I missed my work in a way I didn't even try to explain. It's been almost 9 yrs now....& my eyes are watery just thinking back to how much I thrived on being an advocate for 'my mom's and babies'. All I can do now is encourage people to utilize their resources to the best of their ability and be proactive - for themselves, their loved ones, and their community. I am discovering for myself how exhausting that can be - and was! I'm just older now!! I'm relocating to a new state this summer, and with that comes my new medical team with new health insurance. It will be exhausting - but it will take one foot in front of the other (literally!!). Hang in there! 👍
Oh and your jumper looks fab on you. And don't worry all your feelings are totally normal and valid ❤
I had four caesareans and my wound got infected one time so I sympathise ❤
@@kimbo500I too became suddenly disabled. I had a wonderful career and the last 7 years was when I felt really needed as a nurse-I became a Hospice nurse and it was my passion. When I was told I couldn’t work anymore, I cried and still do. Became so depressed I lost an enormous amount of weight and felt useless. Now I watch sweet people’s life. I just discovered her channel and she’s so beautiful
@@MJB550 All the best to you, especially during those most difficult days that creep upon us! 💕
Congratulations!! Baby is absolutely beautiful. Take it slow and don't put any pressure on yourself. New motherhood is hard and it's a huge adjustment. Plus you had major surgery. Take it day by day. We'll still be here. :)
So true. Perfect advice. It is hard.
Yes, we'll be here waiting patiently.
Exactly! Get rid of pressures, taking care of baby is #1 priority. I'll watch extra ads :)
The crying in the evening… we call that the “witching hour” in the USA. Mostly it is gas or reflux. Make sure you get the burps out and help him toot by rubbing his belly and bringing his knees to his chest and give a little push. It helps release the gas. Also, you aren’t feeling your husband’s chill because you have hormones that are a result of birthing a child. It’s your body’s way of preventing you from abandoning your child and ensuring you meet his needs. You literally have some of your baby’s DNA in your brain. Give yourself Grace. Lots and lots of grace.
Some brilliant videos of this technique here on You Tube. Worked brilliantly for my windy ones.
Hello!
I'm a new mom as well. my due date was on the 28th of February and my little boy was born on the 7th of March. All the struggles you shared (from being pregnant and giving labour) are so familiar and recognizable. Was nice to see your belly grow alongside with mine and knowing I'm not alone. Thank you for sharing your story, I would like to hear some more about it :)
That proud smile when you were holding the baby in that first clip after the birth... such a great moment.
Your sweater is perfect, you are perfect, your baby is perfect! I love that you are being so open about all of your feelings. I think most people skip over all of that, and other women need to hear it! I even teared up a couple of times. You look beautiful. Being a mother is a hard job, but you are going to do great!
And Juki and Viggo appear to be perfect too. You all are beautiful.
For tummy pain : or uncontrollable crying:
Gently rub his stomach, also you can hold him on his tummy with your palms on his tummy, him face down - in your arms and gently sway ...
It helped with my 2nd baby, 1st baby I had not figured it out just kept rubbing his tummy ...
Your doing beautifully mama ❤
I remember when my first son was born. I took one look at him and wondered where this little stranger came from. The first few months can be a bit chaotic but gradually as hormones settle and little baby systems get used to breathing on the outside instead of the inside, it all comes together perfectly. Congratulations to you both. He's really beautiful.
Congratulations to you and Juki at the birth of your beautiful baby boy. Juki couldn't have picked a better birthday present for you! Happy birthday to you also. Your birthday will never be the same again now that you're sharing it with your son. You're very fortunate to have your extended family assisting you at the time when you most need it. Thank you for taking us along on this very personal journey and for wearing your heart on your sleeve and sharing your most vulnerable moments. You're a lovely young woman and I'm so happy for you. I wish your new little family happiness and good health going forward. How are Viggo and Luna adjusting to the little newcomer? I share your love of cats. They're the best! ❤🌷🍀
Congratulations!!! I knitted a million proyects when I was pregnant, just like you haha! Take your time to find your new "normal" and get use to be a mom. Thanks for this sweet and personal video ❤
Congratulations! He’s adorable! Remember…..the days are long, but the years are short. You may not experience that feeling yet, but later on you will. I remember my two daughters separate births (also C Section), they are now 41 and 42 years old!! It’s hard to believe! So happy for y’all.
Llongyfarchiadau. Congratulations in Welsh. I remember the waiting on my 1st. She was 2 weeks late! Now 4 children later, there are lots of knitting, crocheting and sewing things to do for them all. Take care and make sure you rest when the baby sleeps x
Congratulations from Chicago,IL. So appreciate that you have shared this special event. Please take time to rest and enjoy the baby. In the meantime we will be happily knitting ❤
Congratulations!!!
With no surprise the baby is beautiful. Your honestly is so valid. It’s challenging without a doubt. Every baby is different and you will get your own rhythm. You’re still in charge don’t forget! Expose him to all the normal household noises and voices and he will learn to sleep very comfortably in his own. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for including us in this journey! I remember following you a while back when you did self portrait videos ❤ great seeing how life has changed over that time
I remember being very lost with my first and the post-partum pain, hormone fluctuations, sleepless nights, general newborn ignorance, as well as [failed] attempts at breastfeeding. I'm happy that you are able to talk about your experience, and I could see the struggle behind the beautiful smile on your face. Don't feel pressured to have everything under control. Having a constant (knitting) in this new life is super important and a blessing! Don't forget that you are you, not just a mom ❤ take care and blessings! He's a cute little person 💕
Kika!!! I teared up when I saw you all as a little family and leaving the hospital with your family there❤ enjoy the early days (though they can be stressful) the baby stage goes by so fast! Your little man is beautiful ❤
I remember being absolutely terrified thinking about going into labor, then giving birth, and then going into overthinking overdrive…all of this while standing in a department store and crying and then a couple of days later, I had my little miracle. And life was never the same in the best way possible!
Congratulations Kika and Juki!
How exciting! Congratulations! 👶❣And would you believe it? I'm late to the Kutovakika party, so I started at the very beginning a while back and am finishing my very last video today. I so appreciate all you've done sharing your wonderful self with the world. Bless you and thank you!❤
You had a lot to catch up with! :) I did too. Came for the knitting but loved the creative photography content as well. And Kika sharing her life with us! Congratulations dear Veronika :)
Hello, Kika! I just watched this video again because I miss you, your projects, your city, and your travels. Also, congratulations on your beautiful son. I look forward to your return.
Congratulations! Thank you for the videos. I'm an Oma now & remember the days of exhaustion & little ones. Now I have time to sit & knit while I watch & enjoy your videos. There is time in life for all things that are meant to be. Time for the little one, time for knitting and love and life. Blessings to you and your family.
Super wonderful mom!!! ❤❤❤
I wish I could be fluent in English to express all my feelings about this vlog and write you all things that came in to my mind!!!
I’ll try to do some.
You are doing so, so great!
I’m very happy to see you taking a little bit (at least) care of yourself! And also, that you are going out sometimes! That’s very positive! For you, specially!
Those emotionals and questions you do to yourself are sooooo normal, and I’m again very happy that you talk about those! Because it is a kind of “forbidden” subject to talk about (as we could not feel this, but we feel!!!).
But it is what we feel. And that’s ok! That’s ok!!!
And whene we born as a mom… It is a big change. But it doesn’t mean that this new life is not good. It’s just different from the life before. And that is ok!
My dear, keep taking care about you, given you some “warm” moments.
Every mom cames with no book, no instructions on “how to do this, how to do that”… and we are finding our way to do the things.
But be sure, to you (repeat this always, always)…. YOU ARE DOING THE BEST YOU CAN.
And you are doing amazing!!! Believe me!! I felt this (your energy) from here, from Brazil!
A big and warm hug to you! You are SUPER!!!!
With love, Renata
Congratulations to you and Juki. Your life will be so complete and wonderful as every year goes by. So great to finally know your son is here. Enjoy every stage of his life. Hope you will keep sending new knits and hopefully a new book. ❤
I was directed to you. was OB/nursery/NICU nurse in US for a long time, remember struggling to help make birth and recovery special. 34 yrs ago when had son was on bedrest until 31 wks when went in hospital,33 wks had CS,3 days later was discharged with baby in NICU. Only knitting until his discharge to fit 4#13 oz baby. His father left when it got complicated so was 20 yrs til had time for knitting. Life ebbs and flows like tide,ride the changes floating not running to chase. Good luck
Oooooh congratulations!!!
Kika , Well Done ! this is the most exhausting and the most amazing time of your life... your first born. Enjoy it. Wishing you well. Don't worry about not knowing what to do.... we were all the same. You and your hubby will get there .xxx
YEAH❣️❣️ I have been waiting for this video…in fact, I just stopped at 7:18 because I was bursting to tell you how happy I am for you🎉 and, Yuki (sp🙄) and your new baby❤ Congratulations, from South Carolina, USA🌞. I am a fan! You are a lovely, talented young lady and I so enjoy being part of the Kika experience. Love and Best wishes to you all.❣️🥰🌺🌴
Congratulations Kika 🎉🎉🎉 it’s great to see your maturity in approaching things, new responsibilities, new life.. self understanding in the out loud processing of the emotions.. seems very normal, human.. and your designs are great as ever 🤗
Be kind to yourself as everyone becomes adjusted to each other. You love the baby before he’s born but it just takes some time to get to know him as an individual. Soon, confusion will turn into utter understanding. Every squeak, gurgle, burp and the dozens of different cries will suddenly become a whole new language you and your husband will understand perfectly.
Somebody w/ talents like yours…..you should never be bored. My mother taught me never to say the word bored.I’m 73 and am never bored. I’m a cross stitcher, embroider and quilter and sewer, so I always have projects to work on. Good luck w/ baby #1. I went 3 weeks over my due date in 1974! Those were the days!
You really had some of that famous “nesting instinct” in the last few days! I’m glad your baby arrived safely and you are ok. Remember: Raising a child is a marathon, not a sprint. One day of parenting disaster will be followed by one of triumph. Hold onto your wins. You got this!
God, what good news. It turns out that I haven’t been on the channel for so long, that your baby has already been born.. I sincerely congratulate you and wish you happiness in motherhood..🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for bringing us on this journey with you. So amazing to share this with you. I am so incredibly happy for all 3 of you. Your baby is adorable!!❤ You did so great!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 All the stuff your sharing about the baby is very typical and normal, you're doing wonderfully!!
I had my twin boys 4 days before my birthday. And we celebrate every year together. I love it. Best birthday gift ever. But you’ll see as a mom how much more you’ll think about his birthday than your own, because you’ve gone through the labor and birth and you obviously don’t have these memories of your own. Our children’s seem much more significant.
“Oh my gosh what have I done” - said by every mother since the dawn of time. And said more than once…..way more.
Give yourself grace and time. And down the road, grace, time and forgiveness.
Best wishes to you all ❤
I looked at the red cardigan and thought that’s a nice sleeve length for a summer-y cardigan 🤷♀️
Welcome to the world, little one. ❤️ I hope you are enjoying motherhood. It looks good on you.
Oh my goodness he is precious!! What a beautiful boy. Good job mommy!!
Oh my God..
I remember being 16 and watching u every day.. you were my comfort RUclipsr.. I lost u somehow in life.. I got u back.. and you are already having a baby.. I'm so happy for you.. you cannot even imagine how much happy and proud of you.. sending u love.. you really made my day
thank you for sharing the birth of your baby. The main thing that I gained from having a baby was that I think you become less selfish with your life. Enjoy your babe while this age as they grow up very quickly.
You’re so lovely. Take your time. It’s the biggest change. He’s very lucky to have you as his mummy xxx
I jealously wanted the baby to arrive on Feb 20, my birthday, but early march is fine too! Congratulations ❤gorgeous baby
Hi, my birthday is on February 20 as well, just sending you greetings! 😊
Sounds like you and I had a very similar birth story. You’re reminding me how it took a while for me to realize how scary the birth was…but look at your beautiful boy! You look very grounded and positive. Hugs and well wishes to you all!
Oh My what a roller coaster thank goodness your both fine, he's absolutely gorgeous! Oh I rember those days, I went through very simular things I also had a c section and a boy😊
Congratulations on your son's arrival, a great video with just the right amount of all the important things. You sound so normal for first time mum.
Many congratulations and speedy healing. Beautiful baby and beautiful knitting.
The amount of knitting you do and things you accomplished simply amazes me.
congratulations 🎊 ❤
Congratulations to you and Yuki. What a beautiful family you have. Although time goes by slowly some days, one day you blink, and it's 30 years later. No one ever gets to the end and says 'I wish I had worked more'. Cherish the moments.
Congratulations and God’s blessings on your family!
I remember when you took a lot of pictures, you could do some of that with your baby, so thankful you are blessed with him.
Great news! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊! Enjoy!
Congratulations. Enjoy these early weeks, they are like time stands still and you will remember them forever.
What a pleasure to see you again!!! Congrats! ❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful pair of parents for this little handsome human! Congratulations! Wishing you all three love, health, and luck in your life! Lots of love from Greece
❤best wishes to you and your little family. As an old mom, I thought I’d share a bit of wisdom that was shared with me that helped in the first weeks after birth. Your body is shedding all the pregnancy hormones that you no longer need, and it can make your emotions feel overwhelming. A roller coaster. So know you’re not alone, and we are thinking of you. And after about the 2 months mark, things will settle into more of a routine. You’ve got this! 🎉
Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy. Just go with the flow and don’t second guess yourself, you’ll be surprised how instinctively you will respond to your baby when you don’t overthink your response.
So happy for you all. Congratulations
Your baby is beautiful. You're looking radiant. I'm sure you're going to enjoy a regular routine sooner rather than later. Enjoy. He will be growing up so quickly. 🫶🏻
Congratulations! Time will fly by, as your little one grows! Be kind to yourself and try to enjoy every moment, rest when you need and be flexible with your time right now. Beautiful baby❤
My due date was March first, but my baby girl arrived 2 weeks earlier. After 20h of labour at home, I gave birth in the car on the way. Every birth is different and I enjoyed getting to know your story. Before you said "perfect sweater" I thought omg this is perfect! I want to make it too 😊
Hugs from your fellow newborn mom
Such a beautiful baby. Congrats. 😊
Congratulations Kika and Juki. What a lucky baby to have you as parents
Wow so was the baby born on the same day as your birthday?
If so then the baby must be your greatest birthday present ever!!!
If not then the baby must be the greatest late birthday gift ever!!!
It was born on the day after her birthday.
Congratulations to you both. I had caesarian sections for both my children. Take it easy,do as your doctors advise,after all you've had major surgery and an infection. One day you will wake up and everything will have fallen into place. Take care of yourself xx
I only found your channel yesterday and I have watched a few of your videos. Congratulations! Enjoy this new little person and thank you for sharing your life with us. I am looking forward to one day knitting some of your patterns.
Congratulations on becoming parents to a sweet little boy. This is a new chapter in your life, enjoy every moment. Work around your own schedule. Work and knitting will always be there but your baby is only small for a short time. Thanks for all you have already done for us as knitters with your beautiful patterns.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! So Excited for you to Welcome Baby Home ...^_^...
Thank you for being so candid about your experiences before/during/after your whole journey! So much of the harder parts go unsaid because we all worry about seeming ungrateful or negative about motherhood, but it really can be such a rollercoaster in the beginning. You are doing a wonderful job!
Наконец! Устали уже ждать, поздравляем. Это чудесно!
@beekeeper785ib. i think the translation may sound different from the intended comment
You’re doing great little mama! Congratulations to you and your husband! Your little son is so precious and beautiful! ❤
Wonderful news congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations. I feel all your emotions even though it’s been over 50 years since my babies. ❤
HOW IRONIC OF THIS NEWS BECAUSE I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT YOU A FEW DAYS AGO. MOTHERHOOD DEFINITELY FITS YOU WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL BABY. HAPPINESS IS - - - THE THREE OF YOU = FAMILY❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Kika and Juki!!! I'm amazed you got a video out just after having your baby! He is beautiful and you will be a great mom :) I would love to see a video about your pregnancy/labour. I feel like you are so honest and you share the good and the bad which is refreshing.
Congratulations and welcome to motherhood 🎉those feelings of missing your old life will continue to linger, especially as new challenges arise BUT you will also adapt to your new normal and as the saying goes: The days are long but the years are short! Be gentle with yourself and do not ever feel like you owe it to anyone to post and create content. Some days will be great and others quite tough h it that is motherhood and you will thrive in your new role. Congratulations and enjoy these early years as a mom because before you know it, your little baby will be almost as tall as you and not needing you for everything and you will miss, even the toughest day as a new parent. Cheers to you and your gorgeous new little family 🫶🏽🥂🥰
Congratulations to you. Being a mom is difficult physically, mentally and emotionally. Give yourself grace when things get overwhelming. Congratulations again!
I have never seen such beautiful maternity sweaters! Congratulations on your beautiful baby ❤
Your honesty will help Sooooo many new mothers! Be blessed!
So good to see you here again! Congratulations on the birth of your little boy! Will you share what you named him?
I’m so happy for you and your husband!
Wishing the new family a lifetime of health and happiness
Congratulations!! Baby is sooooo.... beautiful.! 💕👍👍👍
Your transparency and honesty is so lovely and helps viewers like me to remember what it was like to be a new mother for the first time, for some of us decades and decades ago.. please know, it’s okay to relax and just go with your intuition, and not feeling like you “must do this, or that” because the only things that really matter are love, food shelter and washing up. The rest of it, isn’t so important and can wait.. and we will wait for whatever creative things you bring, whenever you feel like it. Much love ❤
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎊 👶 Getting pregnant was a process 4 you and I appreciate how honest and transparent you were about that portion of you & hubby’s life. Giving birth is such an emotional experience; every birth is different. The crying phase will pass; you R NOT alone in thinking “ what have I done.” U learn as you go and as he grows. Share WHATEVER you want regarding little one’s birth. CONGRATULATIONS once again SUPERWOMAN! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You have a beautiful glow about you. This little wonder of god is so special. Motherhood is a wonderful thing. Nothing in life can compare to a woman giving birth.
Lots of blessings.🥰🥰
Congratulations on your baby! And yes, the first few weeks with your first baby are hard, There is no getting around that. My love to you and your family as you learn that. Please give yourself space and love - you will not be able to do everything you did before, but you will have a new love in your life.
Congratulations on the baby coming!!!
Future video request when you are ready- can you do an instructional video on how to adjust a neckline on sweaters? I also like mine looser but most patterns do not give options for that
Oh, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations!!! The little baby-boy is so cute! I am proud of you! Enjoy the time, they grow up so quickly. My daughter is already 27. I'm looking forward to all your news.
I can’t tell you how much watching your videos, especially the pre-birth and now mean to me. I’m weeping as I write this. I’m 65 and never have been pregnant. I’ve always wondered what it’s like. I’ve hoped that my adult nieces and nephew would have children (I am an only) but it’s not in the cards. Your openness to sharing has been so kind and generous! Thank you sweet Kika! Love from Oregon!
I am so happy for you! I am a new mom and just gave birth to a son in March 13th as well (via C section as well). So happy for you and your son. Wishing you the best in your recovery. I enjoyed all your videos through my pregnancy and always thought we’d be due around the same time. I am very new to knitting so enjoy all your videos and hope to have the time to knit some of your designs in the future when I’m not so sleep deprived. 😅 So happy for you!
I'm so happy for you Kika! I cried a bit seeing you with your son in the hospital. Lots of good emotions. I hope that you are recovering well and taking good care of yourself while you heal. I'm so happy that you and the baby are healthy and happy
Congratulations on the birth of your precious baby! My husband, who passed away 4 years ago, was a doctor and he delivered the children for a Finnish friend of mine, Paivi, when we lived in northern Minnesota. Watching you go on this pregnancy journey brings me back to that time. 💕😊
Omg yay! I was just thinking about you & wondering how you, hubs & bubs were doing! So great to see yall are doing well. Congrats mum & dad ❤❤❤
Best 2 bits of baby advice i was given, was.... "everyone will have an opinion & how they think things should be done. Itll drive you nuts but take it in & file it away - you never know when that random advice will pop into ur head & help at 4am!" And...."routine routine routine. Itll make ur life & babies life easier & bubs more settled if you have a routine".
Now the most important thing is to look after yourself, take it easy & just enjoy ur time bonding with baby & dad! Its a really special time, especially with the first when its all new experiences & learning! Just remember that every mum has been in that same position of having bubs & not being sure what to do - but so long as bub is warm, clean dry bum & fed you are doing fine!!
I remember the overwhelming feeling of not only "omg what have i done" to "how do i do XYZ??" to feeling so much overwhelming love that ur chest hurts - which can take a while (i had PPD so took about 6 months for that real bond feeling for me) & thats ok too!
So long as you are looking after yourself youll do just fine! Plus theres plenty of ur youtube family out here if you want any suggestions on anything & how we all did things with our babies! Im so glad that everyone is safe & well ❤❤ big hugs & love to you three ❤
Congratulations to the new mum and dad, and welcome to the world, Little Prince!!!
Congratulations! Be kind to yourself, it takes time to learn this new mommy role! One thing I learned is to remain flexible because things changes constantly. There will be times when it’s harder, not going to lie but things will work out. You seem to be well surrounded which is super important. Trust your gut.
Hi Kika ! Thank you for posting this vlog. I think it’s normal to think « what have I done ? ». Life changes with a baby for sure. Time eases things and what helped me (apart from getting as much support as possible) was to remind myself that my babies wouldn’t be so little for ever. Take good care of yourself 🩷🩷
