    My youngest is 11 and I still cry thinking about the feeling I had knowing she was my last. It truly is a grieving of a stage of life. Kim you are so relatable, genuine and real. You are helping so many women and families by just being you.

    First of all, people say you look great because you do. It's not about the size of your clothes or how much concealer you wear...it's that glow of meeting your newest love, of loving selflessly. I don't know who needs to hear it, but all new moms look great!
    I've had lots of babies, and my last turns 4 this year. Watching this video is bittersweet. I'm so glad I did though, because I can relate to so much and I'm nodding along with a friend. I love how often you say every mom and every baby is different. Learning how to take cues from this new human instead of following a book was the most important thing I learned how to do.

    I love this! I’m 61, and if I lived close, I’d bring meals, do laundry, play with the older kids, and whatever else I could do to help. This video reminds me that even tho I do not live near you, I live near plenty of other new mamas who would appreciate kindness. Thanks to you, I’ve reached out to some that I think may need a bit extra help. Also, big question on my mind….how is the DISCO van coming along? Would love an update!

  • @staceyrogers6125
    @staceyrogers6125 Год назад +41

    One thing I realized with my first was that during pregnancy everyone is so focused on how you're doing and feeling and they want to know about you. Once the baby's here they literally only ask about the baby, unless it's a mom asking because they understand, of course. That was so hard to adjust to. Love your energy and real life in your videos! ❤️

    I had no idea you had HG pregnancies! Mine keep getting worse. I have had 4 pregnancies with just 2 living children. My last pregnancy I was in the hospital every week for fluids until they ordered me a PICC line for home health because I couldn't keep meds or anything down orally. I need all IV for about a month. I lost 50lbs in less than 60 days. I was in multi organ failure, admitted twice for 5 nights, 6 days both times. Missed my man's birthday and 4th of July, watched fireworks from my hospital room. But luckily I made it and baby made it out alive. Somehow she ended up being 9lbs 2oz at 38+3. I was induced due to preeclampsia. I'm so glad you can manage it and you're an inspiration!

  • @crisbauer1820

    I had my first baby when I was 20 yrs old. She is now 33 and has 6 brothers and 5 sisters. Collectively, I was pregnant for 9 solid years. I loved it and hoped it would never end. But here I am in my 50's, my baby will soon be 12 and I still remember the smell, the warmth and the softness of baby's skin. I say, Embrace, capture and enjoy every moment you have with your children because they grow up so fast and soon be out on their own. Blessings to your sweet family and keep up the good work Kim. Your babies are beautiful and You are awesome!

  • @shalesalejandro
    @shalesalejandro Год назад +20

    People say you’re beautiful and look great because they know how hard the newborn phase is and how much you’ve gone through. They want to encourage you and help you feel amazing even though you’ve been spit up on, gotten no sleep, and have done nothing more than feed the baby and change diapers. ❤️ Life is a miracle and also so much work. I think women often feel like their failing even though they’ve accomplished so much. You’ve been an encouragement to so many. Let them attempt to encourage and compliment you ❤️

    Kim I’ve always considered your long freezer meal videos my favorite, but I so loved this one!! You’re just the cutest thing when you are just talking about whatever pops into your thoughts! I chuckle every time. I’m waaaay out of my post partum days, but I’ll sure tell ya what, I wish I’d had a friend like you when I WAS in that season of my life!!! I had no one at all either and I was very young. I had zero clue what was going on. I still consider it a miracle that my daughter survived!!

    I had the exact experience with my first child. I had him at 23. My husband is military so we aren't by anyone we know so I didn't have a support system. I had HORRIBLE postpartum anxiety and in my heart I knew I was going to die and my baby wouldn't be taken care of cause I was the only one that could take care of him. But thankfully I got into therapy and got stuff figured out so when it started happening with this one I was prepared and knew that it was normal. Bless you for talking about it.

    • @joanna0988

      I had my first at 23 and got postpartum anxiety badly as well. The crazy thing about it is that it's just our brain doing the right thing by focusing on potential dangers and wanting to protect the baby however it's on overdrive and feels terrible.

    Omgosh I vividly remember (18yrs and 4months ago), my Georgia was 3-4 months and STILL a cryer, especially if overstimulated. I remember having had a ling day visiting in laws- got home & husband’s friends stopped by to see the baby. I literally started crying when the guests were on the sofa and passing my baby around to their 10yr old son as my baby was crying & that mom just kept saying it was “ok! Babies cry!” And they wouldnt get the hint and LEAVE!!! I was NOT a people pleaser after that! I grabbed her and went to another room and just cried because i wanted everyone out of my house and i wanted family naptime!

    Kim don't worry about the spitting. In German we say "Speikind Gedeihkind" means "spitting child thriving child". It was so true with my second child. He grew as weed and spitt a lot (for month, until he ate solids).

  • @amandawells35
    @amandawells35 Год назад +3

    I've heard so many times that zero to one is the hardest and yes, I knew nothing.. yes, it was hard but I got to sleep! I only had to worry about me and the baby. I had no other obligations. I could sleep when she slept, I could shower or eat whenever I could fit it it, etc. 2-3 was the hardest!! I had one in school, and one older toddler/prek (but not in preschool), and the newborn. You got it exactly right- you have laundry and cooking and cleaning and errands and school events.. I ended up back in the hospital because I did too much too soon.
    One piece of advice I'd give new moms is DO NOT let anyone pressure you into having visitors at the hospital! Or even for the first week or two. It's a rough go at first and I've regretted each time letting visitors come to the hospital, come to my house the day I come home from the hospital, and almost every family member coming the first week we are home. You both need sleep to heal and time to work things out and form a bond.

Moved to a new state right before giving birth. Had no support. The books really didn’t prepare me AT ALL for how hard pp would be and I had major ppd and ppa. I will say it’s better now and I’m learning so much but man is it the hardest thing in the entire world whether it’s your first kid or 5th, what an amazing thing it is to be the sole provider for your little one.

    He’s so precious, Kim, and I love that he was cooing and visiting with us too. Also, he looks like you tossed Alex into the dryer. He’s just a miniature version of daddy. So, so sweet❣️

    Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts so off the cuff and honestly. So many of these topics aren't spoken to as they should. Even explaining to people how I would rather just exclusively breastfeed goes around and around. Pumping is 100% a pain! Love hearing your story and I think you're gonna help so many first time moms

    You have a beautiful family. You are so helpful sharing your story. I am retired and still enjoy hearing all this information from the “guest” stand point. Nice tips to remember and incorporate.

    I'm 39 years old (will be 40 when baby girl gets here, God willing) and 14 weeks pregnant! My youngest son turned 16 (Edited to add: years old not months old!) this last week. I'm totally starting over (we had NO baby supplies!) and with a girl this time...never had a girl before... I'm so excited. I thought that part of my life was over but I didn't want it to be! Just think... terrible two's will hit when my youngest is 18 years old! But that's okay. I'm loving it. I'm charishing it. I'm so very very grateful. If I could talk my husband into another after this, I would but I don't see that happening lol So (now that first trimester is over) I'm trying to enjoy every minute. Currently I'm waiting for the first kicks but not wishing them on too quickly because this is likely the last time I'll be impatient for first kicks! I wonder what the transition is going to be like for me now 🤔 will it be akin to first baby or will I jump right in like a pro? I guess I'll find out soon enough!

    This is so relatable! I've had 4 kids in 4 years and don't even know what it's like to not be pregnant anymore 😅post-partum has many challenges. Love how you're giving yourself grace & looking at the positive side!

    Oh Kimberly! We can only imagine how many women you are helping when you talk about the realities. Of course it is amazing and a miracle, but it is also messy, painful, exhausting ,rewarding, idolating, scary... Wolfgang is adorable and I wish you and your entire family continued health and happiness. Always enjoy watching the channel.

    I think it’s so sad how you are always entertaining and surrounded by people, yet no one offers you help. I would be cutting people out of my life left and right.
    Also that Oprah video saved my sanity after I gave birth to my twins. I randomly remembered seeing that interview years and years previously and I searched for it and studied it. It SAVED my sanity and helped me help my children. Amazing.
    Also - you are looking good Mama, and Wolfgang is wonderful. But I wish you had true friends and family around you. You deserve it. Love from Iceland.

    Absolutely loved this! I’m about 4 weeks out from my due date with our first and of course have been hearing all the horror stories from women about childbirth and post partum. Loved that this seems to be really relatable. Can’t wait to try your tips for putting baby to sleep and definitely going to check out the frida mom post partum kit.

    Thank you for the video! I am currently 2.5 months postpartum with my 2nd, and this video is spot on. My first time round I was on the struggle bus FOREVER, this time has been easier but harder in other ways. I feel like the world doesn't talk about postpartum life enough. You rock, thank you !!! P.S. I do watch your videos in the early AM when I'm feeding my little one 🤣.

    You are SO INCREDIBLY RIGHT when you say 0 to 1 is the most WILD, most difficult transition. Holy cow. I just have no words except I wish I could go back and hug myself in those first several months. I look back and KNOW that I'm a freaking superhero for getting through that time.

    I had five; they are 31, 30, 28, 22 and 19 now. They are all amazing humans and we have a close family. Looking back now though, I wish I had spent more individual time with each one. We did our best and devoted ourselves to them but did not concentrate on the individuals. Just wish I had done it! You are very wise to see the importance in that.

I'm sorry you don't have more people like you in your life to spoil you rotten!! When I talk about you I always say "my friend Kim..." 🤣 You're a great mom, person, and friend!

    My gran (mom's side) had 10 post-war era in Belgium EU; 10 is a lot. A lot a lot. My gran always thanked her big garden. They did not have much or a big house. The boys had a room, and the girls had a room, but the big garden actually saved her. It was her answer to everything? "Go play in the garden" (when they weren't in school or doing homework).

    I love watching you, especially right now. I had baby 3 on October 3rd and this postpartum has been so different . You made a statement that the most important thing you can do is take care of the baby. I needed that! You make me feel better about all the things I'm going through.
