    I’ve been where you are (4 kids in 7 years 😊). I’m praying all goes smoothly for you. You are right on with the meal prep! The nicest thing anyone has ever done for me was when a lady at church threw a frozen meal shower for me before baby #4 came.

      A frozen meal shower: such a clever and useful idea!

    I sure could have used something like this 46 years ago when my son came via unexpected C-section. I never was around little kids, never around other women having babies so I was completely in the dark . I also didn’t have a good relationship with my mom and I think having her around would have been more stressful. Unfortunately we lived in a 2 bedroom trailer with very small rooms so it was difficult to have anyone come stay with us. To make matters worse we were in an area that was extremely isolated and very far from the military base we were stationed at. I would have had to go through another C-section for a second child and that was something I know I couldn’t take. My baby making days came to a screeching halt after #1. Congratulations on #4! May God bless and keep your family in safety and peace! Blessings on this new little wonder so fearfully and wonderfully made.

    I loved this video! As a pregnant mom of a bunch of littles I love watching this type of videos but most are of first or second time moms who are sweet but focus on details I don’t have time for anymore. Your prep is more relatable and practical so very fun to watch.

    This is the video I needed! I am due with #4 in November. I have a 7, 5, and almost 3 year old. Majority of the yt videos on prepping are moms with one or two kids which is great but I'm in a different season. Thank you so much for this! I think out of everything, the meal prepping is what I need the most advice on. I'd love if you would post that video on freezer meals and snacks. Congratulations on your sweet baby!

    I did the exact same meal prep for 1 months worth 36 years ago with baby 3. Makes life so much easier if you don’t have to stress over what to eat if there are healthy meals ready to go.

    I am having a fifth in early December. With each baby I though I got everything figured out but then something new always came up. Last baby had a horrible rash that wouldn't go away for two weeks despite all the 30 different creams I tried. Finally Honest all purpose balm healed him within days. I am like you I just focus on essentials. We always had a one story house so it made everything a bit easier.

    Oh my. I'm preparing (very slowly!) for my first. 21 weeks atm. I had no idea quite how much is needed. Anticipated all the things for baby, but not for myself postpartum!
    Already struggling with where to put everything after wardrobe removal and assembling new ones, being in a relatively small house with Mum and our shared ton of art/craft etc supplies! It's very overwhelming!
    This has been a great help!
    Thank you so much for sharing. I hope everything's been as smooth as possible for you and your beautiful family!!! ❤️

    I'm expecting my first... and this all made me feel so overwhelmed. Wow. I do like the suggestion of having meals prepped in advance. That one will be fun and easy for me. Thank goodness I have a great partner, and I don't have to organize all the rest completely alone.

  • @lissaharre
    @lissaharre 13 дней назад

    I’m about to have my 5th baby in 11 years and this video was so helpful! I completely forgot about postpartum care. 😂 Which is the same mistake I made with my first baby. Having tucks, pads and a peri bottle in the bathroom before you go to the hospital makes coming home so much easier. Also, having changing supplies and snacks next to where ever you’re going to camp out in your first few days is so helpful.
    I load up my nightstand with nipple cream, spit rags, diapers, wipes and SNACKS! The first week after you get home can be peaceful and relaxing or you can be running back and forth from the nursery to the kitchen to your bedroom. Set yourself for a great postpartum experience before you head to the hospital!

    I drive a Honda Pilot, and I have 5 car seats in it. My 10-year-old is out of car seats, so he rides in the fold down seat, the Diono Radian 3R is a fantastic way to get 3, 5-strap harnesses in the 3rd row. Good luck with baby 4! I did 6 kids in 9 years! It’s a roller coaster, but it’s one of those that are so fun to ride!❤

    I brought my own swaddle with baby #3 and got weird looks from the nurses but I didn't care because I was not going to toy with that tiny hospital blanket anymore! I'm doing it again with #4, due in 6 weeks.
    I'm doing much the same things you are. Setting up for baby #4 is less about arranging cute baby things and more about setting up my house and routines so a baby can easily fit right in to our flow. Good luck on your delivery!

    Congrats by the way! I had to pump right after I fed my son every few hrs. Every 2, then 3, then 4. He was a preemie with a partial tongue tie. He didn't fully empty me either. At 6mos we stopped breast feeding due to a total milk allergy. My friend had to wear the guard & could only do it for about a month, the 1st was lactose, & the second wasn't emptying her either because of her shape. Hence the need for the guard.

I also never had to be worry about it being lost. I had to wear my daughter to get anything done, especially dinner. I LOVED every minute of it! I was always holding my babies.
