Video

Was just thinking I hadn’t seen a new video recently. Hope you and your family are all doing well. ❤

Oh my god! You were one of the first youtubers I watched in ELEMENTARY school and now we are both mommies! I can't believe I found you again!

So very sorry Laurient. I had a threatened miscarriage with my first baby. In the end, all was well. I truly hope that you conceive again, bless you. Love from Susan in UK.i

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏👏 Awesome.

A laser level, or failing that, a regular 4 or 6 foot level is extremely helpful with keeping multiple items lined up perfectly. 👏🏽👏🏽 on the light inserted in the shelving 👍🏽!

How big is your space? You did a great job!

New subbie here. Lovely office space. Here for ideas.

WOW! After I watched the video about your miscarriage, I said the same thing you said about it now it may be possible for you to bear a bio child. I totally see that happening for you in the future and I look forward to seeing the announcement when it happens. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for sharing the name of the liner.

Praying for strength daily. You have a beautiful family and God’s timing is everything 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

❤

Looks great!

I can definitely feel your pain. I miscarried a year ago and sometimes it still hurts until today even thou ive had successful pregnancies in the past. I pray that God blesses you with a miracle my heart goes out to you! 🙏🏽❤️🌈

Great basket ideas!

Cute baskets!

I'm so sorry, Mama. It's so painful.

So glad you were able to enjoy your weekend. Remember you are stronger that you will ever know.

Always love 😅 your videos.

My son will be 13 in a month and he’s still going strong with the Dinosaurs 🦕 also. His whole bedroom is dinosaurs. He’s laid next to me reading a book in Dinosaur pj’s 🤣. Xxx

this seemed like such a happy day for you. i affirm, you will get your rainbow baby. keep taking care of yourselves and your beautiful family youre building. and yes, i attest, those dollar tree dove lotions are the TRUTH. im actually frustrated they dont come in a larger container at pther larget stores!

😞I am so sorry ,I had a miscarriage 13 days ago. IT'S so painful emotionally and physically , GOD BLESS 🙏

That's the spirit! Many times we forget to focus on what we have and focus too much on what we don't have. I do that too. Many times I focus on what I don't have and forget to be grateful for what I do have. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and my mobility is limited but my mother is bed bound and can't do anything. When I look at her situation, I am so much better off than her.

You are incredibly blessed that you have two children even if they are adopted. The baby you miscarried is sad, but you still have your other two babies. Remember back when you were disappointed with adoptions didn't go thru? Now you have two children. Consider yourself blessed. Some people never get babies, not even through adoption.

after 10 years of infertility i got pregnant with 2nd iui lost my baby at 17 weeks i understand your pain so well its unfair its so tough. God bless you stay strong.❤

It is not fair. I'm so sorry. 💔

I am so sorry I had a miscarriage at eight weeks and that pain that you subscribed is 100% accurate.

So sorry for your loss😢I lost my son at 13 weeks gestation, when I should’ve been in the “safe zone”on Jan 4th 23 it was a missed miscarriage so when I had a ultrasound to find out gender he had passed and we had no idea until that moment 😢 it was the hardest most heartbreaking thing I have ever gone through 😭my heart goes out to you and Mike !infertility sucks ! I have PCOS and have been there . I am praying so hard for a miracle rainbow baby for you ❤

I am so very sorry for this loss. I am praying for you and Mike.

I’m really really sorry for your loss, I’m praying for y’all and that you get your miracle third baby.

💞🙏🏾💞😭 wish I could hug you.

I’m so incredibly sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing this emotionally raw video. I know it will help someone going through a similar situation. I hope you are able to take it easy and are surrounded by love and support.

It happened to me as well. 15 years of infertility and I got a positive test next day I lost it. So sorry

Laurient, My heart and prayers go out to you and Mike for your great loss. Sending you a great big hug.

This is so heartbreaking. I also had a miscarriage a few months ago. It would have been baby number 2. I miscarried very early on. Maybe 4-5 weeks but it was heart breaking still. So sorry mama 😢. Sending lots of love to you and your husband ❤

Im sorry that happened to you. Its cruel and heart wrenching. I am 6.5 years into secondary infertility and i went through this exact thing last year. I had such hope then it was ripped away, each month now is just another sad reminder. I feel your pain. Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray God gives you strength.

May the Lord give you confort. Lots a love all the way from Europe.

So very sorry for your loss. I am in the same boat as you - 8 years of infertility, adopted two children and have accepted that being pregnant is just not something I will experience. If I ever turned up pregnant, I am sure I would feel all the fears you did. I am so sorry they came true. 😢

I am so sorry for you. ♥️ sending all the positive and encouraging thoughts.

Looks like a good time. Thx for sharing the place

Looks great!

Very nice 👍🏽 I love the new look 😊❤❤

We are currently going through an adoption.....we just got the phone call from our lawyer 😢 my wife and i are devastated

Lover the video! It felt like I was watching someone I know and I love that you didn’t try too hard.

Love! You've inspired me with my own office glow up! ❤

It looks so beautiful!! Good you! I’m officially inspired.

Lol on hanging the frames… I was wondering how you were doing that.. the frames should have came with a paper grid you putt on the wall to mark where to hang them… for me that’s the only way..

The term primary parent in and of itself is a subjective term. This isn’t just in parenting, but whenever you have 2 or more people working together on anything, people are going to prioritize differently. If they prioritize differently, of course they are going to consider their contributions superior. Both people need to understand this is a subjective interpretation of the situation and of the duties on both sides. When you are doing your part of the parenting and household work, try to think about why you do these things and consider them more important. I find that usually the “why” is garbage and completely irrational. My wife thinks SHE will look bad if the house isn’t clean or if the kids forget a school assignment. That’s garbage and crazy. I think if the yard looks unkept or if my kids misbehave are a bad reflection of ME. It’s garbage and crazy. We let imaginary people and situations dictate how we act and what we do at home. If you seriously think about it deeply and not superficially for 5 seconds, you can see this in your house too. The big problem here is that usually the woman claims to be “primary parent” because of a situational reason and nothing more. No one carries the mental load. The term “mental load” is garbage too. It’s self inflicted and both parents do it. It’s what YOU choose to spend your mental energy on. You may be thinking about meals and homework. Your partner may be thinking about how to be sure the kids grow up with self confidence and self love because they had an abusive childhood and want to break the cycle. You see them outside wrestling and having fun, but he’s teaching his little girl how to get out of choke hold and teaching his son to be a protector and not a bully. This is as important to him as feeding them is to you. He probably saw you had that part covered and decided to make himself useful in a different way instead of just being the backup help to whatever the “primary parent” subjectively sees as more important. Both individuals need to see it’s a matter of perception and subjective determination and stop trying to be the “more important” parent which is what the people who call themselves the “primary parent” are really doing. It causes anger, bitterness, and divorce. Do better looking at it from others’ perspectives instead of saying “I want to come back as HIM”. I bet if he’s anything like you and hasn’t introspectively looked at the entire situation from all sides, he probably says the same about you. “I’d love for my job to consist of putting the laundry into a machine that does the hard part for you and bending over at the waist to put the dvd in the dvd player (don’t even have to do that anymore).” That’s a complete asshole thing for him to think and say right? Well… it’s basically what you’re doing, but in reverse.
