No need for embarrassment. Every labor and delivery is so very different. Love your honesty.
Thank you! 😊
Please don't use castor oil out of plastic bottles, castor oil is used to pull impurities out of your skin. Castor oil also pulls plastics out of containers. Dark glass bottles. Not criticism just health info. Congratulations when baby girl comes. Love your channel.
You got this, Mama! No need for embarrassment. We’re excited to meet her when the Lord says it’s time. ❤
I, a 75 year old grandma, love your content and beautiful life!!! Baby will be here soon and she'll have a wonderful, blessed life 🙏🏻 ❤️
I just respect you for not filming your delivery experience like other RUclips's do. I am older and feel sharing every experience in your life cheapens it. Not EVERYTHING needs to be shared and I love what you do share and appreciate it. God Bless you.
Don’t be embarrassed that can happen to anyone. Praying for you and your precious baby to have a safe delivery and both be healthy.
My favorite verse when I need encouragement is Isaiah 41:13. It reminds me that God is able and He is always with me.
Oh you poor sweet lady… just know those of us who watch your channel care for you deeply! We want you to rest & do what you need to do. Kristen You are the most genuine, honest & humble (human) content creator I know.
The Lord has His arms wrapped around you through this & that sweet precious baby girl will be here before you know it. We will be praying for a fast easy delivery. Take care of yourself and we’ll see you soon. 🙏🏻🤗😘
The end of pregnancy is just not a fun time. I so remember thinking OK enough already. I just wanted a baby. All the waiting just makes the end result more special. That baby is coming when it is ready and you will all be more ready to jump with joy. God has a sense of humor.!
👵💜Kristen, we are friends, don't ever be embarrassed! My granddaughter went into the hospital to be induced in July 25 and she just delivered a beautiful healthy baby boy at 5am today July 28. That was.almost 3 days in hospital. Babies have their own timetables. Such a great 'shower'.
Girl we ride the life wave with you. I dont mind watching pre recorded content. You all need breaks too and I dont think people understand that you literally have your own show that you film, edit and put out there and it’s not like a TV show where you record for 9 weeks and get a break. Oh no no, you work nonstop and to give yourself some back up content you are allowed to pre record. If it confuses people, thats a them issue. My youngest is 13 almost 14 and I remember the wait and the weird contractions that come and go. Only God knows the timing. ❤ I know you have had your new little girl by now and she is precious. Rest and be well 🫶🏼
Dear sweet Kristen there is no need to feel embarrassed. You are a bright shining light in this world. Your husband is a total sweetheart
Dear Kristin; I went two weeks over with my first! My mother took two weeks off from work so she could be with us, every time someone saw me, they said, “Haven’t you had that baby yet”? The night we put my mother on the plane to go home, I went into labor!! Moral of the story; babies come when they are ready! Do not be embarrassed, please. We love you and all of your precious babies!!
Oh wow!!
Hang in there Kristen! God’s got this, and you and baby in the palms of His hands. The diaper shower was such a nice surprise! You are blessed in so many ways. With each contraction, thank Jesus for His incredible blessings!
Rest & fluids are both important and as moms and homemakers we forget to take care of ourselves. I was happy to hear your Dr told you to rest. You were doing a lot in that last video. We get so caught up in getting ready and getting it all done that we forget what our bodies are going through to grow a baby and then to heal. I dont do the “resting thing” well either but I’ve learned to listen to my body.
You should not be embarrassed about something you can’t control! The baby will come when it is ready … so rest, take care of yourself and all the best ❤️
Yes! Thank you!
Prayers for your family and new baby.
🥰🙏 just another note to say you are in my prayers, not for the first time. Please don't be anxious, easy to say, but you are in God's hands and you have a very dear family who is so precious to him.🥰🤗
I'm a 70 year old MomMom. Prayers for you and sweet Baby. You are keeping it real, that's why we watch and love you! Blessings!!
Don’t be embarrassed! I had false labor with my 8th baby!! 😅 I was SO sure I was I labor! But the baby stayed nice and comfy for another three days! I woke up that third morning with really strong contractions, and I delivered him within the hour! In the fullness of time, your baby will arrive! Every pregnancy and delivery is different. Congratulations! 🎉
Kristen, you have nothing to be embarrassed about! Babies come in their own sweet time. Try and let Josh take over and rest when you can, you will need your energy for when that sweet baby comes. I love that you are so honest about your life.
Our church families are such a BLESSING…..the community aspect of our Christianity is so important. Some say “I pray and worship on my own. I don’t need CHURCH”. Read the Epistles if you believe this 😉
Praying for a healthy baby and momma!😊
I’ve been praying for you and your baby’s health every day. I know it’s hard, but you’re a very strong and determined woman! You have this girl 💕🍼👶 Love you
Prayers for a healthy baby and delivery 😊
You are a perpetual delight and I love your videos. They feel like a visit with a sweet sister in the Lord. Prayers from a Canadian Nana! 💕
I’m 33 weeks pregnant with my fourth too. Just a little encouragement - remember, God is with you and never leaves you. Lean on the Holy Spirit to be your help and to lead you each step of the way. And God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind. Stand on these scriptures and other promises God has and keep reading them, saying them out loud. God’s Word is powerful and will sustain you. Blessings to you!
You're a trooper Kristen! ♡ Don't be embarrassed & thank you for the diy's! Will be thinking of you and wishing you a short, smooth labor & delivery! What a wonderful, loving surprise party!! Love from Kansas 🌾🌻
Ohhhh nooo ! You must have felt so discouraged. Keep your chin up because your little girl will be here in her own time! I love your videos . Prayers for your family.
Praying for a beautiful and peaceful entrance to the world for your baby girl!
We are all praying for you 🙏🏼 little baby girl will be here before you know it 👶
It's smart to pre record content so you can get your well-deserved postpartum break. I'm newer to your channel, but I love the vibes here, and I'm excited for you and your family! I've had 4 babies too, and it's unpredictable every time. There's no need to be embarrassed ❤
Welcome aboard!
Praying for you. Also this came to me while watching and I feel I need to say”Remember god knows what you can and can’t cope with even if we don’t always agree. Just know he’s with you in this time of anxiety, frustration, discomfort, joy, happiness, and new beginnings ❤”
Plus cast oil taste awful and I was violently sick taking it 🤮 never tried it for the other four after that😂
Can you imagine how many different women you’ll be able to support and truely say ‘I know just what you’ve been through’, when they share their birth stories with you in the future? I mean, you’ve experienced almost every kind of labor except a c-section❤ I’m looking forward to seeing you without the baby bump, and to hear that you’ve got your breath back😄 be blessed Kristen🙌
Good luck Kristin have. Safe delivery 😊❤xo I
Sending prayers for a safe delivery and a healthy and happy baby!
Love that you keep it real! This 37 week pregnant mama, needed the reminder. Babies come when they come.
No need to be embarrassed, this is how life goes and your willingness to be so open and honest is really refreshing. Love your natural skin care ideas and would love to see more of this in the future. Love your channel and your lovely family. God has you, this precious little baby girl and your family in his hands, may he continue to bless you all. Sending lots of love and prayers from AZ.
No need to be embarrassed.. I totally thought I was in labor many times. I bet you’ll be on your way soon ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻💕 Enjoy these summer days with your girls 😘😘
Thank you so much!!
Oh that’s precious a baby shower I feel you really deserved this you’ve had a ruff time with all the illness at the beginning ! If you need time off I will come and look for your videos don’t you worry 👀 I had contractions before I had my last before it happened !
My best friend is also an OBGYN and it is truly so special to have someone who cares about you and your baby be apart of bringing them into the world. I’m so grateful for that special bond we all share!
God is Sovereign and your dear baby girl will come when she is ready.😊
Prayers for a healthy baby, and for your delivery to be quick.
I’m a 71 yr old that throughly enjoys watching your videos. You abound with sweetness❣️ I have 3 daughters with children of their own and my life is full of love. Watching your videos brings me back to my days as a young mother. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with all of us. God Bless
Every baby is different! No need to be embarrassed!
With my 1st, they scheduled an induction 1 week after my due date...and he still didn't come! They suggested a cesarean, and I declined. I was embarrassed too because everyone spent 2 days at the hospital and it didn’t happen. On the 16th day past my due date, they told me I couldnt wait any longer. They induced again...didn’t work. They finally had to break my water and get things going. All that to say, they will come when they are ready. I also felt like I was going to be pregnant forever! 😂
Prayers for you, your family, the sweet baby girl, and the medical team.
We all love you and can't wait to meet her! ❤
Aw I’m so happy you got a special surprise baby shower. What a sweet loving husband and church you have. Thanks for sharing your diy skincare, how do you use the castor oil for skincare? Praying you have a smooth delivery, remember to pray have faith and trust in the Lord to carry you through 💖
😮Prayers for you, baby and family with the birth of the new little one. May you know the peace that passes all understanding. God bless.
Love you Kristen! Praying for you and the sweet baby! Keep trusting in the Lord and be patient. God’s timing is perfect always❤️
Bless you, please don’t be embarrassed, your baby will come when she’s ready to so take care and rest up 🥰
Congratulations to you and your family. Babies come on his/her own timing. Thar's for sure. Your skin care products look lovely. Prayers for a wonderful time of getting to know your precious baby girl. Now you have 💗💗💗💗!!
Kristen you know those babies come when they want to come not one minute sooner! It was a while ago (45 years)🤦♀️😂 when I had my daughter and I could swear I had a 10 month pregnancy. That was the first and the last time😂, because my husband promised me he would have the next one🤣. Those pains are no joke and I can see why you thought you'd deliver. Anyone would think that. And I didn't realize RUclips was so harsh on continual content. When the system gets powerful it seems like all compassion goes out the window.
I'm glad you showed how to create natural skin care. My daughter and I have been on a kick recently about staying away from chemicals. So this will come in handy. We're all rooting for you. It will be over soon. You're so close now, Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I always look forward to seeing you. Be well and stay safe😘❤
You do you and don't worry! Every baby and labor is different ❤
Take care of yourself and your baby. Remember to let others help you in all ways. Blessing to you and your lovely family.
So glad that your friends and hubby threw you a diaper shower! Each child is a blessing and I am glad that they were there to celebrate the happy upcoming event with you! Will be praying for you in the next few weeks.
Sending love, & prayers for an easy and as painless as possible birth to you sweet Kristen. Waiting patiently for a healthy beautiful baby girl. Hugs to all! Baby girl is so lucky to have 3 beautiful big sisters to help care and love her as well. ❤ ❤ ❤
You are a wonderfully sweet and beautiful woman! As so many have said, your baby girl will come when she’s ready and in God’s perfect timing. Have a safe and easy delivery, Kristen! Such a beautiful shower from your church family.
Hopefully for now you had a healthy baby girl and you are doing good. You shouldn’t be embarrassed a lot of women have false labors. Looking forward to meeting your beautiful baby.
Kristen, I so appreciate you! Hoping that your feeling of embarrassment didn’t stick around long! We can all learn from your creative & admirable way of handling challenging circumstances! I love that Josh is taking care of things that normally you prefer to handle! And, I totally resonate in that though some of our husbands don’t always do those chores like we do, we so appreciate their loving efforts! 😉 Thank you for a peek into your beautiful surprise Baby Shower at church! ‘Thrift Funds’ … perfect gift for you! 💘 My prayers for you & your family are on-flowing! ❤️🙏🏽✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sweetest Kristen,
Our Lord's timing is absolute perfection. Hold on to Jesus . Your blessing will be here before you know it. .
Many prayers and blessings,
Robin
Kristen, I would wait for you to return and not give up . I also watch a momma from England who took off 6 months and returned. Love watching you and enjoy your content. Hugs from this Grandma in Maryland.
Hang in there! With my 3rd child, I experienced contractions like you, went to the hospital & later they sent me home ( so much for an experienced mom 😂) a week later, my daughter was born....sending prayers your way!!
Blessings upon blessings! Hope your spirits brighten up as you await the arrival of your beautiful baby. May the Lord being health and healing to you. I look forward to seeing the baby and learn what name you chose. ❤ God bless.
Every labor is different. Don't matter how many times you do it, it can always be something you've never experienced before. I did this with my second daughter and had predromal labor. I thought for sure I was going to have her and didn't.
It happens.
Rest, take care of you! I know it's hard, think of it as self care time. That helps me. I'm also a person that gets down when I have to sit and rest.
Just a few more days girl! You're looking beautiful by the way!
I have you on my Prayers, God will see you through this, you are a Wonderful momma, I can’t wait to see your new baby girl, God Bless you and your beautiful family ❤❤❤
❤Hi Kristen, Every pregnancy almost always has false labor! No need to feel bad! You look so beautiful. That sweet little girl will be here soon. You dont worry about a thing! You are a great mom and wife and we all love you! What? a surprise shower! Oh so very special! Prayers sent to you to be calm and well and no cold for the arrival of this baby! I just ordered Lavender, Castor oil and Olive oil for my skin! thank you Kristen!❤
Hey I just had number 5 and did the same thing! Went to the hospital with early contractions, and didn’t end up progressing.
THIS IS WHY- my baby was sunny side up: My body was working hard trying to turn him.
I Spent some time on all fours laying on pillows and the baby turned, immediately went into labor (this was 5 days after I was in the hospital thinking labor had begun)
I’m super glad I went in to get checked, since I avoided the painful back labor that happens when babies present sunny side up. Try laying on all fours, supported by some pillows, to watch a movie to see if that’s what baby needs to get out!
You are so precious! My first daughter was a week early and my delivery was scary FAST! So when I was pregnant with my second daughter I went to the hospital twice believing I was in labor! So embarrassing… BUT, like you, I was for sure expecting another daughter soon and no one could take that away from me. You’re doing wonderfully and I will look at some of your older videos to keep your analytics up while we all wait for your next video with your new baby girl! Congratulations to your entire family! You are loved and Jesus is with you!
Good luck on a safe delivery and healing of your head cold. Remember to give yourself grace and relax. We have your channel
You are the sweetest, no apologies necessary. Good luck and God Bless this upcoming event. We are all soooo excited to meet her.
Oh Kristen, I can so relate! My 1st son was born early. I remember crying because I hadn’t finished reading my book about labor and childbirth. I had a miscarriage in between my 2 boys. Every pregnancy was so different. With my second son, I never feel good and I was a nervous wreck. I just knew he was going to be early because he felt so low. He was a week or more late! I was so ready! 😊 Praying everything goes well with the delivery!
Thank you for the natural tips. I use baking soda and coconut oil on my face twice a week for a gentle scrub. I can’t use essential oils as I’m allergic to most of them - particularly lavender. I’ve always wondered about castor oil but haven’t pulled the trigger on getting it, yet!
What a special treat to see you. I was crossing my fingers we would, somehow, knowing full well you should be resting and taking care of Lilly. Thank you for sharing your story and these recipes for homemade skincare. I am beyond THRILLED for your surpirse baby shower! Josh, you did GOOD! Love you and love just hanging out with you in your beautiful home!
I appreciate your candid remarks…you are sooo real. Praying your precious baby girl enters this world without pain for mama! Can’t wait to get your good news and pictures.
Love this video! A friend of mine was born very premature the patrician advised her mother not to bath her in water for several weeks but to wipe her down with olive oil. Let me tell you that baby girl is now a beautiful 65 year old woman that doesn’t look more than 40! So yes I think the oil scrubs are amazing. TFS
Can’t wait to meet your beautiful baby girl.
Can’t wait to meet the new baby, Kristen.
Take care until then and have a safe delivery and a healthy baby.
You are such a breath of fresh air. 🙏 For a speedy and healthy delivery.
Dear Kristen, I know you’ve had your precious baby by now because I’ve seen it all on IG. How sweet of your husband and friends to give you a shower. Thank you for sharing that oil and sugar scrub. I wonder if it’s too late for me to try it, at 66 years of age.
I always enjoy your content. ❤
What a sweet surprise Josh and your friends planned for you. Praying for you this morning.
I love your honesty and sense of humor. One day when this precious one is having her own baby you will have a wonderful story to tell her about how she tricked you and made your friends laugh along with you!
Kristen, you're such a natural at this. I can't even imagine making the product you use, describing the up coming delivery... God chose the perfect person for your Position! Thank you Josh for facilitating the Baby Shower. I love your Family. Continued Blessings!!!
Praying for easy labor and a safe delivery.
My 4th pregnancy was rough and really different also. I know what you're feeling. It's just a reminder that each pregnancy is differnet. Love your channel. God bless you and your family.
Oh Kristen, I can so relate! My 1st son was born early. I remember crying because I hadn’t finished reading my book about labor and childbirth. I had a miscarriage in between my 2 boys. Every pregnancy was so different. With my second son, I never feel good and I was a nervous wreck. I just knew he was going to be early because he felt so low. He was a week or more late! I was so ready! 😊 Praying everything goes well with the delivery!
Kristen I was so sure you would have had your sweet little girl💕💕💕. Please never be embarrassed we all know babies come when they are ready and in God’s timing. Sending prayers for a smooth delivery and sweet baby girl arrives healthy💕🙏🏻❤️
As always I love how real you are…all of the things no one says but are so true. Praying for you and your family…you got this!
I’ve been making my own facial oils for years and not only is it better for my skin, but it is WAY more economical! I use olive oil for removing my makeup. Then I moisturize with a mixture of olive oil, coconut oil, sea buckthorn oil, carrot seed oil and rose oil. I add lavender essential oil also. They’re the best skin products I’ve ever used.
I am so glad I found your channel a few months back. You are so real and down to earth, an amazing person, amazing mom and I can’t wait to hear your birth story with this new little. God bless you and your baby. Prayers for I a safe delivery and healthy baby. God bless🩷🙏🏻🩷
The love from the church is just overflowing. ❤
This is so relatable to me right now!! I’ve been thinking I’m going into labor for the past 2 weeks and I even started my maternity leave thinking for sure my baby would be here this weekend. It’s now Sunday night and no baby. With my other 2 pregnancies once contractions started it was go time so it’s been very discouraging to experience contractions that are not leading to the real thing. Makes me feel like a first time mom even though this is my third. Ugh!
Any baby born to your family is one lucky baby! Go get ‘em’. Hugs🌸
Praying for a easy labor and delivery
Kristen don’t worry the baby will be born when our lord wants it to be. So please be patient and you will have a blessed and a wonderful delivery our lord will be there with you. Please keep us posted and may god bless you and your family.
Lots of love dear sister in Christ, from Australia. Im so sorry to hear how much pain youre still in, though im so glad for your friend Katie's experience with mums and bubs. Keep remembering God's faithfulness to you and your family, how He brought you thru the last 3 pregnancies and differing deliveries. He will do it again. Have prayed for your anxiety and that God will give you peace. That expectant joy will replace worry, and thanks for your lovely church family and your crew. That however God works out the next couple of days, that they will be encouraged as their prayers for you are answered and He will be honoured.
You are such a wonderful, hope filled person. Thank you for the joy and inspiration you share with others. Even when you’re frustrated, you still find hope
Kristen, you're a GEM! Can't wait to see baby girl #4. Aww I'm so happy they made a diaper shower for you, so glad you made this video!
Kristen, I have been thinking about you and checking back to see baby news. Everyone has situations like this. Both of my babies were 3 weeks late and both delivered by emergency C-section after days of labor due to wierd complications. I didn't want things to go that way and allowed it to emotionally traumatize me because that was 35+ years ago and back then you were "expected: to deliver by lamaze, no pain meds. I am glad that fad passed and it's not like that anymore. Praying for you to have her soon, fast and easy and look forward to videos of her whenever that time is. Take care!
Baby will be here soon. Thinking about you and prayers for a beautiful delivery.
Dearest Kristen, sweet lady, let not your heart be troubled. The baby will come when she’s ready. You have such a beautiful family and what a sweet husband Josh is. No need for embarrassment. As other readers have mentioned and you’ve experienced, each pregnancy and delivery is different. Love your content, honesty and your stories. Can’t wait to see your precious little angel. Stay strong and keep your eyes focused on the end result.
Prayers Kristen all will go smoothly and as God prepares for y’all new blessing feel better soon also 🙏
You’ve got this Kristen! Never be embarrassed we’re here for you❤
Dearest Kristen, from my first viewing of your videos, which could be a year and 1/2 ago until today,
I have looked forward to watching every one of your videos, and have even introduced my daughter to you, as well. Everything about you is beautiful; your personality, sense of humor, style, Everything, but mostly your love for Jesus continually brings me back for more! The Lord God Almighty bless you, your new baby and entire family keeping you close to His loving heart. Praise be to Jesus for All He has done. Your are so precious! Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you for sharing so much! It’s Super encouraging for me as I enter my third trimester with my first baby.
And I think it’s super smart of you to plan videos ahead and release them so you can take a properly maternity leave with your new little love. 💕
I look forward to your videos every week and enjoy your content so much!
Praying for a safe and speedy recovery Kristen, and a health baby girl, you both are in God's hands 🙏🙏. What a beautiful and loving baby shower, Josh and girls did a great job!!👶🍼☺️ I love your videos, and I will watch all of your videos while you take a nice maternity break.
