Thank you for talking about postpartum depression. So many ladies are ashamed to admit they have it. You are beautiful inside and out. I've been watching you 6+ years.
You look fabulous! Noelle is adorable enjoy your day!
I am so blessed to have found her. ❤❤
It's so hard when your kids are small. As a fellow brunette, I'm so happy that you changed your mind about going blonde. Embrace your dark hair! You're a gorgeous young woman.
yes she wouldnt look right as a blond, and that duo color was just bad. she is so beautiful with her regular dark long hair...her hair looks healthy again, the duo color looked very fried and straggly. its amazing how much hair can make a difference. julia roberts with s shgort short cut in the pirate movie-ugh, then her long hair in pretty woman-holy mackeral gorgeous! hair can make sucj a difference.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. You are such a beautiful lady. Glad you kept your natural color of hair. Many Blessings to you.❤
@@hippychic7546I agree, blonde ages you. That, the thin eyebrows, and high bangs are the classic 90s starter kit🤭
L ok if it
Bethany - you are very wise for your age. I think your many viewers will love the fact you are so real, honest and up front with your life - I am sure you have touched many women who are facing the same thing. Thanks for being you!!
You are absolutely gorgeous in that dress! You do look more grown up, but don't ever forget your own personal style. Sometimes a graphic tee is just what the doctor ordered.
Being aware that you need that is step number one! All the things you are trying sound like you’ve got this! I’m a mom of 5, all grown now with 2 grandsons ages 4&7. I have one left at home (autistic 18 y.o.) I’m still trying to fit in self care! It IS important!
For all the women who aren't moms (and might not even be wives) who are struggling with life, struggling to keep up with self care, struggling with no one willing to help ... I hear you. You are not alone.
Agreed! It's important for us to take care of ourselves as women period. ❤
Thank you for pointing out that going to the store alone is not self care for parents!
It is for me....I like alone time. No one hanging off of me, demanding, yak yak yaking. It helps me breathe for a little bit so I can concentrate on what I'm really at that store for and make smart decisions.....not all willy nilly coming home with half of what I need. When I have the kids/hubs in tow, in 5 mins I'm close to tears and just want to go home!! We do what's best for each of us individually learning by trial and error what helps us to improve, grow and make things better for our families, ourselves.
It’s not totally self care, but I do enjoy going alone. But it don’t happen very often. My husband works 6 days a week. I actually just switched to delivery because going was such a chore.
@@therealkathytinclerpick up is your friend
@@caseydarliiing I like strolling through the store shopping....alone. Don't wasn't any 'pick up to be my friend'....what? LOL
I appreciate her pointing that out also. She’s basically saying that doing necessary errands are not the same as self care, not the same as time alone to relax and focus on yourself.
However, sadly making a common sense comment will attract all kinds of negative comments saying things such as, “well it is for me!” “I get to focus on myself fully when I grocery shop, so I disagree with you!” Etc etc.
For crying out loud. Instead of people finding common ground in the opinions of a creator they have to focus on contracting everything. The “yeah but” people drive me crazy
Girl I’m 37 and my kids are grown and Im tired. I can only imagine how you feel..hugs
Bethany...you. are.BEAUTIFUL...
Thank you for sharing your true self & being so transparent w/your viewers, I hope one day you'll know the impact you have bestowed on so many..I've loved you so much as a creator, how you keep it real w/your tried & true hauls for us potential consumers & now how you've just opened up & extended yourself even more is so admirable..many blessings to you & your family as you start this new chapter in your life & continue on your journey...and TY for letting us be part of it❤
YES, I LOVE BETHANY & FAMILY, THANKS FOR INVITING US IN.
I recently found out that biological kids are likely not in the cards for me, and I’m so thankful to hear a mom be grateful for her kiddos and not take them for granted. Love your channel ❤
A gratitude journal is a blessing for me and to help me focus on my blessings, is one of my favorite quotes, “EVERYDAY MAY NOT BE GOOD BUT THERE IS GOOD IN EVERYDAY”. Thanks for being you and for being a blessing to so many.
Betty
Congratulations on adding Noelle to your family. You seem to be on the right track in a lot of ways. I could have used this video years ago. My kids are 20, 17, and 11. It does go by so fast. Enjoy all of the little things.
My mom and me and my sister sang all the leaves are brown during our walks when we’re kids ❤️
I didn't suffer,but I'm a nurse and I have empathy gor those who do. You are a breath of fresh air. Thanks I really enjoyed it. You really put a lot on my mind about self care. You rock!!!!
Glad you are taking care of YOU! You are great parents. I love love the hair! You have beautiful hair.
I like the sign up behind u in the salon it says “shut up, you look good” lol got a kick out of it because many woman find it hard to believe they look good or accept a compliment.
🌺
Having a husband that supports you and is helpful is very much a blessing! Being mindful of that is a beautiful thing. You have a beautiful family ❤
Thank you for being so honest. I had IBS after the birth of my daughter. This was 45 years ago. Not one Dr said it was due to the pregnancy. I have learned through the years what to eat and what not to eat.
I love your dress and the way you’ve done your self help care. Keep up the great job Bethany.
They say the postpartum time frame is 5 years.... I can't even.
I believe it 😩😂 my daughter is about to turn 5 and I'm BARELY feeling like a human being again
It is one of the most rewarding and special times of your life too my oldest is almost 7 it makes me sad and happy and my twins just turned 1 and man I tell you holidays are so much more FUN! Also you quickly realize the world doesn't revolve around and how special you can make your children's life
I had two sets of twins in 18 months!! 😅 so I guess my postpartum time was 10 years? Sounds about right!! My babies are 9 and I'm exausted!! My kids are now 17,16,11,11,9,9.
I for sure believe this. My son is 4.
you are so beautiful. your honesty, and your approach to regular life is so real. life long lBS here, it’s unpredictable. stress is a huge factor. if it gets severe follow the FODMAP diet, but it’s most important not to overeat at a meal and really pay attention to being regular, because it’s often the contrast in your body between periods of C and D that triggers an episode. also if you’ve had to take antibiotics for anything, it ruins your microbiome. try to eat fermented foods, yogurt with live cultures, etc rather than just take supplements. try to avoid imodium, it really throws off your natural body rhythms. also try to avoid artificial sweeteners. all your positive actions really show. it goes so fast with kids, before you know it the baby will be in school too. you’re great parents, god bless your beautiful family.
My husband was more than supportive but I still struggled. The hormone imbalance during and after pregnancy is real. It is so important to do some self care.
Me again. The Gratitude Journal literally saved my life. Just putting down such simple things such as breeze blowing through the trees, or the smell of roses in my yard. The journal makes you look for the small things that are in our every day life. It changes your outlook on life.
Your daughter is so adorable. ❤ And you look great! 🥰 I'm 43 with no kids but I feel like GOD has everything happen for a reason. ✝️ I have a niece and 3 nephews which I've been there for since the day they were born and I love them more then anything in the world. 💗💙💙💙
Great video, great advice. I’m 70 and I couldn’t give better advice than you gave today.
Don’t lose your identity, take time for you and hubby to spend time together. “Easier said than done”. I truly feel that being a mom is a miracle and a blessing, while being the hardest job on earth. You are doing a great job. Noelle is precious. God bless you.
Oh thats cute getting Cooper on board with the workout. What a fun way to keep him entertained while youre being productive
I am 60 years old. Thank you so much for this. I am not post partem, but what you said applied to me. I need to do things like you said exercise, plus doore to take care of myself. You encouraged me to try to do more. Taking walks ,listening to music. Plus do things like making friends. I love you and your channel thanks 😊😊😊❤❤❤👍👍👍
She looks like her brother. She so precious. 💖
I'm a grandma, so I am way past this season of life. However, I truly enjoyed this video. I love your honesty and openness about everything. I enjoy that your generation, unlike ours, does take time for self care as it's so so important. Just because you are a momma doesn't remove the fact that you're a woman. Your eyebrows look amazing, hair is gorgeous, and with the whole makeover, you look beautiful. I certainly hope Matt took you on a date. 😉 Oh, and your accessory is just downright adorable. 😊
I have 3 and I can SO relate. I had to go right back to Active duty Army and it literally almost killed me. I ended up having to medically retire due to heart failure because of paripartum cardiomyopathy. Self care is SO IMPORTANT. Thank you so much for sharing!
(Hey! We're the same age! 😁)
16:50 For real, because I have so many friends who struggle to get pregnant at all.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for your service❤ Take care of you and your health, because you deserve it.
Thank you for serving!
I'm a military spouse with 6 kids! The struggle is real and military life is hard as it is!! ❤
@@6kidsagluegun thank you and your spouses service.
Theres a song called Turn around slowly that i first heard when my first daughter was a newborn. Its a beautiful song that ive kept on my playlist ever since. My daughter is 23 now. I did turn around slowly while my kids were little, but time still absolutely flew by.
I used to make cassette tapes for my kids with me singing all different kinds of songs and I would also talk to them in between the songs... they loved that so much... they would listen to it every night and ask for "mama, more lullabies please!" My kids are now 29 and 23. They will never forget it!
That took guts being so honest. You helped alot of people
Real life! I know you have helped someone out there with this heart felt video.
Now that you bring up this part about being alone I am pretty much alone with no one but my dog to talk to 24/7. I’m disabled I can go out and drive but I have zero friends it is very very hard. I use to talk to my parents 2 times a day for an hour or so but both have passed now. It’s nice to see someone get through this. I didn’t have much help with my kids when they were little yes I’m married but he’s not around much. Your video brought up feelings I forgot I had. Thx for your honesty
You sound a lot like me, but I divorced my husband which at first was great, I thought I'd get healthier and for a while I was. I returned to work and immediately started having issues. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis plus a really messed up ankle, and I'm twice the weight I should be so life is hard. Unfortunately eating is something I can still do easier than exercise or chores. I do have a few friends but not someone who comes around and supports me anymore.
Im sure this video has helped a lot of women! Postpartum is very challenging. Big key is to TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF N SELF CARE! I admire you so much! You look great! Thank you Bethany!!
You made me remember about when my now-adult sons were in lower elementary school and I was asked to join a PTO meeting. As I walked out the door, my husband said to not volunteer for anything (because 1 was positively maxed out with those Irish twins and career). I still don't know how it really happened, but during that meeting, I somehow emerged as Second Vice President, and responsible for designing and writing the school's monthly newsletter! 😅
More women need to talk about this. My daughter works full time, has a 4 month old son and a 6 year old daughter. She does exercise which helps her so much. I'm so glad to hear you are trying to make your life better for YOU. Hugs to you
Exercise is about so much more than being thin, I wish I could tell everyone on earth how it helps my mental health.
My baby just turned 12 months and man I feel exactly what you are saying I litterly just, did my eyebrows too and it makes a big difference makes you feel good about your self
You look so beautiful and your giving young mothers information they need and to love yourself and make changes gives you the energy and glow you need as a mom and wife. Be blessed and continue to take care of you. I’m 71 years old and in my young motherhood no one told us that. Love 💕 your you tube channel!
I love that Pepper was doing her own version of a plank 😂
I firmly believe that Postpartum is not talked about enough. My son will be 22 and my doctor NE ER talked to me about it. It's a conversation that needs to be had. I went through horrible Postpartum. I felt guilty for bringing my son into this world. Along with other things. This is awesome that you talk about this!!!!
And you look amazing and she is just precious. ❤
I love your video’s. I have IBS and it’s not talked about enough. Popcorn kills my stomach. Bell peppers, lettuce. Be careful about using the water flavoring if it’s fake sugar that could hurt your stomach to. Please never stop talking about real life.
Same girl!! ❤
Celiacs and IBS gal here 🙋🏻♀️ having flare ups constantly is the worst! It’s really hard to maintain a good “healthy “ diet when it all causes issues. My main triggers are gluten, dairy, garlic and tomatoes 🙄
My husband helps a lot especially in the afternoon and with the dishes and I'm also currently 8 months pregnant and he has been a tremendous help he is such a blessing.. He helps so much with our oldest daughter.
Happy Wednesday beautiful ❤ you are absolutely right we don’t make time for ourselves 😊 she’s beautiful so precious baby girl 👧 thank you for sharing I enjoy it have a wonderful week ❤🍁🌈🦋
That cinderella song 😢 is such a tearjerker! My daughter is 15 now and I just heard that song this year for the first time.. ohh it just stopped me in my tracks and I just visioned how fast time has passed made me so sad
I have IBS-D extremely bad. There isn’t one food that sets it off and I never know when it’s going to happen. Sometimes I can’t even make it to the bathroom. I had this since I was 15 years old when I started with this. I’m 58 yrs old now. It has been a terrible time needless to say.
You are such a special person....thinking of ways to help us all...❤❤❤❤❤ you look incredible....
Yes, love that your babies will have that memory of you singing to them.
Yup I feel you on that thanks for sharing. Moms are always last in line . When is your turn you're to tired to do anything for yourself .
Totally enjoyed it. Currently going thru post partum depression I wish I had the energy to get myself together since I am always blahhh. Anyways I enjoy watching all your videos.
Proud of you! & OMG!!!.. Let me know if you need a babysitter!!! A living doll!
You are so beautiful and your crafts are amazing! Postpartum is not talked about enough and moms need to take care of themselves. Thank you for sharing!
YOU LOOK AMAZING! 😍
AND I AM FLOORED! All this time I seriously assumed you were in your mid 20s. 😛🤷♀
Your hair looks really healthy and it's beautiful but I bet a up-dos would look so pretty on you too.
You're right, you are blessed and I pray you continue to be blessed beyond measure. MUCH LOVE TO YOU!
♥🙏
You are on the right track taking care of yourself. After motherhood, it is so easy to lose your own identity. You are a daughter, wife, mother, sibling, cousin, friend, but you need to be you first❤️
It’s so nice to hear someone say how grateful they are for what they have , I say thank you each night for what I do have and work towards what I don’t have ❤
I have IBS and it does control so much of my life which it can be very depressing. I know how difficult it can be. You are beautiful and such a great mom. Praying for you.
Awesome Bethany, that was a good video watch. Thank you.
I appreciate that you are encouraging self-care. I watched your video while lifting weights. I am 60 years old and still need to hear the message about self care. I love your new look and I love your t-shirt look too.
You are an amazing lady I love watching you my kids are 15 &10 I lost myself I don't do anything for myself just the kids and my husband but seeing this today makes me no I'm going to take back a little bit for me thank you so much for keeping it real
I empathize with your feelings, it's been 23 years since I gave birth, I remember having depression after giving birth when no one talked about it. and now that I'm in my 40s, I've been having depression, but I'm doing many of the things you're doing, and they're working for me. and also talk to someone who, even if they are not going through it, can understand how you feel, helps.
That’s great Bethany your new aspirations to become more social and exercising! Girl I’m still working on that sleep situation! 😂 Your dress is cute! Noelle looks so much like Cooper… 😊 I know another sibling set where the little sister looks so much like the big brother! ❤
I love listening to you on this video !! Such a beautiful young lady you are ! I watch your videos anyway but it’s nice to get to know you. I am 65 yrs old now and what you said about time going so fast…..it does. I can’t even grasp the fact I’m 65 already. My kids are in their 40’s now, grandkids in their 20’s !!! Where did the time go. My mom sang “ You are my Sunshine” to my brother and I, and I sang it to my kids and grandkids. Moms is gone now, but when I’m sad or depressed, I hear mom singing that to me and I feel better ! I started journaling as well, really helps me work things out and make me realize how my life is good and staying grateful and grounded. I do my best to stay active and take care of myself. I want to age the best I can. I never believe how old I am, sure don’t act my age ! I also love how you brought up all these old songs from the 60’s and 70’s…..my time growing up. Absolutely loved seeing this video, made my day ! ❤
Yes thank you not enough people talk about how hard it is being a mom/ parent. It is the best thing in the world but it it also hard and an adjustment. I'm still trying to find a balance and me time. I have a 1 1/2 old daughter and omg I listen to that's so Cinderella and I was in tears. It is so her and I love Cinderella. Mio or liquid IV type of flavoring helps me drink more water.
It is hard being a Mom. Self care is also taking care of your family. You look refreshed.
My kids are almost grown now, but I remember when they were little like yours. It was so difficult to find time for self care, but it’s so important to keep stress under control and to be the best mom you can be. I like the song Time Stand Still by Rush. It’s about how fast time goes by and wishing to pause it just to enjoy it more in each moment. I think they wrote it when their kids were young like yours.
I feel the same way my kids are adults now so it’s my time will still be there no matter there age ❤ we’ll always be parents
I don't have kids, but for those who have family or friends that do check on them to make sure they are ok. When my friend had her baby i went to her home and watched the baby and her five yr old so her and her husband could go out. It's the little things that make a difference.
I started getting better with my mental and physical health and self care more recently. My youngest is 13, and it is still a struggle. My kids are completely worth it, and they are worth my best.
Don't let what others say about you or your life make you feel like you are not doing enough because it is your life and as long as you care and you do all you can do even when you do it later it really is all that matters and if you are not pushing yourself to be what others say you should be then you will be happier being yourself and doing it your way and your family will be happier also
I struggle with this very thing. I put so much pressure on my self to do and be more and it’s never enough. I’m learning how to be content with who I am, what’s important to me and where I focus my energy. It’s hard for me not to look around and say, she’s doing so much more than you, what’s your problem.
Thank you for sharing with us. I am not a mom, but I have IBS, so I feel that pain. I also have PCOS and cervical ectropion which cause issues for me too. It's nice when people share and talk about this kind of stuff....we all should support one another and make sure no one feels alone. I think sometimes people feel like they are not allowed to feel bad about what they are dealing with "because it's not as bad as what some others have to deal with"...but it's good to spead the message of self care and supporting each other cause everyone struggles sometimes and it's ok to talk about it and do things for yourself.
I also struggle with self care. Thanks for the reminder that it’s ok to put my own needs first sometimes ♥️
I’m so proud of You Bethany ❤ I’m a 60 year old Mom/Grandma who’s watched you since before you were married! So it’s been awhile! And yes, I’m So very proud of and happy for you 😊
God is so good. My favorite video of yours so far. Thank you for sharing. Jesus loves you (us) and not taking His blessings for granted is so important.
Thank you for sharing those songs that you sing to your babies. I want to start this with my baby. Another great one to sing to them is I HOPE YOU DANCE
I'm so happy you're getting out of the graphic t shirts & opting for more adult clothing. Thank you for sharing such an important topic with us. I want nothing but happiness for all of you !❤🙏
i dont mean to give un-solicited advice, but if u havent already, i would really recommend asking ur doctor about gallstones/gallbladder disease or polyps. so many times issues with the gallbladder are mis-diagnosed as IBS, especially with women. wishing you well!
Bethany, thank you for sharing. You both look gorgeous.
I had serious ppd after my 3rd baby. My husband would leave for work I was happy and smiling. When he got to work 30 minutes later I was in tears 😭😢 thank you for sharing your experience with all of the mommies with ppd. God bless you and your family.
Good for you. Now is the time. I'm an old lady (83) and wish I had done this when I was young.
Your hair and brows, dress, shoes, all of it looks beautiful! 😁
I am an introvert too. I couldn’t do the PTA. Too much for me. The Mom’s enjoyed small talk and I just couldn’t do it.
What I did do is volunteer for this one event where I was able to teach kids a craft. I liked that. More up my alley.
Thank you so much Bethany for sharing your experience with postpartum. So many ladies deal with this (in silence) and don't realize what is happening to them. While people are so quick to judge a woman for feeling the way she does, they don't understand she needs help and little empathy. 🙏
I'm so glad you are taking care of yourself. Take it from someone who always put herself last it takes a toll. Remember you are worth it and take care of yourself.
You are blessed to have a husband who helps. My daughter was 2.5 years old when our twin boys were born and my husband had the attitude that his sleep was more important because he made the most money. The boys didn't sleep through the night until they were 6 years old. I would get up with them 9 times in a night and went to work the next day.
Thank you for this! This is so relatable.
Hon, have you checked side effects of vitamins or regular meds ?? A lot of every day meds or vitamins can cause your symptoms. Hope you get some relief. Love you and your show.❤
Wonderful video, I wish more moms understood this. Society tells us tha being a mom, especially if you are a SAHM, is just totally giving up on yourself and that is such a terrible thing to make moms think so I love seeing positive things like this. For me, one of the things that I really like to do is focus on my skincare and I'm in love with the Korean 10 step routine, it works wonders!
And you are so right about what a huge blessing it would be to have a partner that helps you out; I've been in and out of the hospital most of this year and I just come home to a huge mess so I have to stress over how to clean the house while recovering from surgery and what not because I get no help whatsoever so it really is a huge thing.
Noel trying to "eat" you was my favorite part of the video! She's so beautiful! Love watching your videos!
The dress makes you look very professional. The baby is getting so big
You look absolutely stunning. I had postpartum depression with all 3 of my kids. I think I had it worse with my 2nd one. I would cry so much. I am so happy for you. Congratulations again for your beautiful daughter and family. God Bless.
My baby is 15 days old and this video hits. My postpartum hit me so hard that I had to discontinue breastfeeding so I can treat my mental health needs. After my baby and I were released from the hospital (nicu) a few days later I was in the ICU. I didn’t rest after my C-section and the level of guilt I felt for having to be I the icu was insane. Thank you for bringing light to this topic. Love you!
Loved the video. My best friend and I go grocery shopping together every Friday. It make a mundane task so much fun. I also listen to music. It heals the soul.
Thanks for being real!!..I’m the opposite I’m a very social person..but I’m taking care of my grandkids so I don’t get out of the house enough ughh I need to change that!..thanks for the inspiration ❤
I love this! You are sooooo right! Good for you! Thanks so much for sharing this!🥰🥰
Brittany good for you! That dress is beautiful!
Perfect for taking the kids to the Dr. Going to a PTA meeting. Etc! Good for you about focusing on self care! You need to take care of yourself, so you can take care of everyone else you need to. Being a young mommy it’s a big job just in itself and you have a full plate. It’s wonderful to know your husband helps out so much but one thing to remember is to carve out some just mommy daddy time just the two of you enjoyed watching this video even though I’m a retired grandmother.
I LOVE that you posted this video!!! Thank you!
Thank you for making this video. This really hit home for me. You are amazing Bethany
Beautiful video thank you for doing this we all need to hear this my baby is 4 years old and I still struggle to look good on occasions
You touched on everything I'm dealing with in my life! Thank you! I'm not alone 🤗
This was such a wonderful video and we all have so much to be grateful for 💜
Do what is best for you. By the way, when I hear MOM I have to find out what my kid needs. He is grown now and even when not with him I hear MOM in public, have to stop myself from asking What! You are spot on about the little things matter the most! You got this!
