I love how much you show that parenting is something you do together. That it is not just on the mum. That time of for fathers is important. Most people always say, yes it is important but you guys are actually showing it and it seems like you truly life by that. Grey is adorable, I wish you all the best!
I couldn't agree more with Rich. When we have our baby I couldn't stop thinking how amazing single parents are, and how tough must be for them. Congratulations guys! ❤️
Also TOTALLY agree that the focus shouldn't all be about the birth when you are pregnant! The birth.. you get through.. it's the "after" that broke me!
Jessica T so true. It’s the after that’s so much tougher since it’s so life changing
Totally this! My biggest criticism of NCT is that it really focuses on the birth which actually is such a small part
Totally agree. Birth was easy compared to the after. It breaks you. Such a huge life change
@@danipietro4762 yes, it breaks you... Especially if you have twins 😂😭
@@stern2221 omg I honestly don't know how you coped with twins, you deserve a medal 🙌 I barely got through the day with just 1 baby. You are an absolute superstar.
In Germany the midwife comes to your home every day after birth for at least 14 days. Its a missive help with feeding and all other issues regarding you and your newborn. I am so glad I had that help. 💕
In Croatia we have a nurse coming to see you for months. Also after C section you will be staying in a hospital a week.
It made a huge difference for us, especially with the feeding. I think otherwise I would've had problems with the feeding, but she kept correcting me each day and made breastfeeding go smooth
That's amazing. We don't have that in Canada. Other than regular doctor's appointments to check on the baby after they're born, you're on your own.
Oh yes, I also loved the daily visits from our midwife. Helps so much with all the feeding issues and In can still text her now everytime I have a question and my baby is already seven months old.
If you have a midwife you will have a few visits.
Who cares if you’re rocking! There’s a baby! She is so cute! Congrats! 🎊🍾🎉
And you will rock for years - even when she's grown. You will see a baby and start to sway....
I love the fact that you're always keeping it real when obviously you are knackered of having a newborn. Wish you all the best for your little family!
Omg when you were giving her a bath and “Don’t worry baby” by the Beach Boys was playing i BURST into tears! She is SO precious 😭😭😭😭 congrats Lily and Rich!
Louise T especially as it was the song we walked down the aisle to 😭 so special ❤️
OMG!!! I'm super happy for your little family Lily! I think I'm ready to cry whilst I watch your video, we missed you soo much!
Of course you are complete naturals. As anyone who knows you would expect. Congratulations guys. Welcome to the gang Grey! ♥️
@@SR-ql9he Caroline is right - they are naturals! They are dealing with all of the challenges (and there are always challenges in parenthood - always!) so well - and are loving it! They are amazing! X
@@SR-ql9he I get the concept very well - but unsure how that fits here? Lily is known for being incredibly honest on her channel and this video was completely honest and open about how they are going. I think it's pretty obvious they are already fantastic parents and I wish them all the best on their journey :) x
The biggest congratulations!! Never clicked on a vid so fast, you make the most beautiful family 💕 Sending all the love x
Ahhhhh Grey Lunaaaaaa, she's soooooo sweet! Also, Rich is a star and só supportive!! Also, lóve his hair. Sorry, totally off topic. If Grey has both of your hair genes, she's blessed! Thx for sharing Lily (and Rich), take care with éverything! 😘
So wonderful to see the gorgeous Grey and to see how happy you both are. It's really nice to see a parent 'team' that are there for each other during what can be an overwhelming time. It looks to me like you are all doing incredibly well.
Congratulations Lily, you're a champ! I'm so glad you're sharing even a snippet of your experience ☺️
Definitely more support needed we found the first two months the hardest . Our baby had colic and our baby wouldn't be put down in the day , we had good family around us to help as we found that more tiring than doing night feeds . U are all doing amazingly xx
Thank you Rich for speaking about the support portion of bringing a baby into the world.
There is nothing in life better than little newborn baby snugs. Congratulations to you. Grey is such a cute little baby.
Welcome Grey! She’s lovely 😍😍
Absolutely agree with what Rich said about there not being enough education around what happens after birth, our little girl is 6 months old this week and we totally didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into!
So adorable! Learning more of wonderful husband you have. Happy first fathers day, Rich! Congrats to you both. She is beautiful and a lucky girl to have you as parents.
The tone of the video was lovely. You both seemed v happy. Gray is delightful. Congratulations to you both! Xx
Happy Father's Day to Rich. She's absolutely beautiful. Congratulations again.
37 weeks pregnant and rewatching your lovely birth/newborn videos, and this time the sleeping on your back thing properly made me belly laugh! I CAN NOT WAIT to sleep on my back again 🥲
Congratualtions! With our first 10 years ago my husband had to go back to work after 4 days as he was self employed and we simply couldn't afford longer, I had a c section and suffered badly with PND with our second he had two weeks off and even though I had lost my Dad the year before mentally I was so much better. We are due our third boy in November and he is taking a month off. I really feel there is a massive link in support and mental health. My husband is lovely with our children and such a great support and seeing Rich so hands on and supportive bought me to tears...maybe hormones ha but he is an amazing man and Lily you look like a natural. Wishing you all a lifetime of health and happiness xx
Baby grey is so precious ! So true I found the after birth even harder than the actual labour . There needs to be more support with that . Xxx enjoy every moment theyre do grow up very fast xxx
I have been following you for for a few years now and it’s so lovely to see your lives on CZcams as a couple -married and now with a beautiful baby. Congratulations to you both. I had my babies many years ago and paternity leave just wasn’t offered and even now it’s not something that is available to all especially if you’re self employed. You need that extra support so you are v lucky to have Rich there to help in those precious weeks . My daughter has just had her second and had fantastic breast feeding support from her midwifery team which really helped. Just keep on doing what you’re doing and you’ll be fab parents. As you say life has changed forever in a good way xxxx
Congratulations what a beautiful baby and what a strong supportive family unit you are. Family is everything isn’t it! Having a partner who understands being a new parent is amazing to see and it seems you guys are in it together through and through, you really are a wonderful family, congratulations again xx
Rich is so lovely to say that about parents needing more support and I can tell you’re so grateful to have his help... so true what you both said. Mums get chucked in at the deep end and dads go to work feeling like they’re missing out and feel helpless. Hopefully something changes soon to allow dads to support their partners and children more. Your little girl is gorgeous, congratulations again ❤️
I have to say, I am not the “target audience” for this type of video, but I have been a follower for years and watching you and Rich do the “baby thing” in your own way is so great. I actually smiled watching this video (as silly as that sounds). Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing!
Congratulations. She is the cutest little baby I’ve seen. Happy Father’s Day to Rich on his first Father’s Day. Lily you did a fantastic job and you are a terrific mother.
All the best to you both! My daughter lost a lot of weight and really struggled with feeding in the first few weeks, which was a bit of a shock since she was my second and that part went fine with my son. All I can say is forgive yourself for whatever you are feeling and the decisions that you feel are best for you and your baby. When you’re in the thick of it, no one really wants to hear “you’ll get through it. Just wait.” But you will.
Congratulations Lily and Rich! Grey is adorable!
Lily, I love that you didn’t put on makeup or fancy clothes just to look good in your vlog. It’s so realistic ❤️ You’re such a down to earth person.
Grey is so cute, you guys look so natural, and honestly the fact that Rich could take plenty of time off is amazing. You’re right, is a team work, and father should have more time by law. I only hope when my time comes, my husband can negotiate take more time, in Chile dads only get 1 week 😢 but I know though that our family’s are going to be super supportive!
It really is a tremendous blessing for the two of you to learn to care for your baby together. I had my babies so many years ago when many fathers were not much involved with their babies. It was a lonely and confusing time those first 2 or 3 months especially. I am so happy for all of you that you have each other! Your baby Grey is adorable!!
Congrats!!! You both seem so level and calm about everything! Amazing!
I completely agree with you guys, myself and my husband both said in the last almost 3 weeks, we’ve found having a newborn such a shock, we definitely didn’t feel mentally prepared enough beforehand. And have said countless times, we don’t know how a single parent would do it, it seems near impossible.
Baby Grey is gorgeous, congratulations. Our Rosie is snoring on my shoulder right now, it seems she’s a bit congested too but we aren’t sure what to do about it?! Xx
Well done you two. She's one lucky little girl having you guys as parents....enjoy it all and feel free to cry and loathe life on the difficult days. XXx
This is such a treat! I was not expecting a video soon! So happy for you Lily and your family is beautiful
I love that last bit that Rich said. True about marriage, too! Everyone focuses on the wedding and not what comes after.
What a relaxed happy loved up vibe, I got from you both. Totally agree with the support and aftercare in he uk., and for me the overwhelming sense of responsibility that lands upon you, when your laid in hospital by yourself with a newborn. Good luck and best wishes. Welcome to the world baby grey xx
Congratulations to you both, Grey is beautiful. Was so excited to see your video this morning xx
For someone who doesn’t use Instagram and only follows you on CZcams, I’ve been really looking forward to seeing you and your new baby; Grey.
Congratulations, and thank you for sharing her with us Lily and Rich, she’s absolutely beautiful! X
Go guys look Good for 1st time parents Sleeping wise.
I don't normally comment on videos but a huge huge congratulations! She's ridiculously cute!!
Also Rich, good for you for speaking up about extra support needed after baby is here. It's crazy right?! Single mum here and your comments made me well up. There's ups and downs for everyone in motherhood/fatherhood for sure, but the single mum recognition doesn't go unnoticed. Keep up the good work :-D XX
Congratulations to you both, she’s gorgeous. I agree so much with everything you said. The only way I feel like I’ve got through 18 months with a baby is that it’s completely teamwork with my husband and I. I have so much respect for those doing it on their own xx
Don't let people's judgements stop you from being the mum and dad you want to be. If the dummy helps use it. There is nothing wrong with it. It's better then thumb sucking cause when the day comes to take the dummy away you can. You can't take their thumb away. She beautiful. Congratulations
Congratulations! I loved that you addressed the focus always being on birth and labour. I’m a Postnatal Midwife and I see everyday the shock of new sleep derived parents, the steep learning curve of breastfeeding and mother crafting (the fourth trimester!).
What a wonderful thing to see, the two of you working together. I had a terrible experience with my ex husband and I left when my son was a few weeks old. Have been a single parent ever since, he’s nearly 4 now. It’s just nice to see someone promote the idea that men can and should be just as involved and responsible as women, in their child’s life and upbringing. Mazel tov xx
That’s so true ‘even when you think you know you don’t know’ that’s exactly how I felt at first. The fog will lift soon and it will come with a whole set of new challenges but one day you’ll look back on the hardest of early days and still feel so happy. My son is 5 and I’m still surprised as the weeks/months go by Xxx
Rich made me cry he’s sooo caring and understanding 😢😢 my second little boy is 3 months. I understand the struggle. you will get to a point where it becomes a bit easier very soon!
Huge congrats guys. You both look so content and I love how real you’re being in this video whilst barely scratching the surface about details of being new parents. Enjoy these early days 😘
Our first baby is 8 weeks old and it’s so true about the lack of advice about after birth. The night sweats and all the things like how much your shoulders and arms hurt after birth from learning to feed and pushing, no one ever told me about those parts! You both seem to have taken to parenting like absolute naturals. Grey is beautiful ♥️
Thank you for your honesty! I just had our first baby as well and found that there wasn’t enough to prepare us for newborn life. I was shocked at how much there was to know and how much support we needed. It’s so important for people to be mindful and aware of this stage and the support that parents need! Congratulations Grey is beautiful!
Happy first Father’s Day Rich!!! Baby Grey is absolutely adorable and you guys are the cutest parents ❤️
Congratulations! And Rich looks so happy, it's extremely cute😊 🎊👶🏼
Love you two, Grey is so beautiful and lucky to have you as parents!!
Im so happy for you. You and Rich look like the dream team. You've been doing so good with being so honest and real about being pregnant and being a new mom. And you guys speak in "We" Which i love. Little Grey is a dream. Bless your little family Lily (still cant beleive my favorite youtuber is a mom now) xx
What you say at around 9 minutes about the preparation of what comes AFTER the hospital and you get home with the baby is so true. And important. I felt the same and I am in Austria...
I'm so thrilled for all of you! Congratulations on bringing a beautiful little girl into this world. Her life is already blessed with such wonderful people she'll call Mom and Dad. Such a beautiful little family! Yea!
This video made me so genuinely happy! She is so cute!! Congrats :-)
Grey so adorable. Love Lily saying " they'll get over it" total mummy mode xxx
To see the bond between the three of you is soooo touching ❤️ all the best ❤️
My other half is self-employed and had work commitments that mean he didn't have Paternity Leave with our first born... You are absolutely right when you say there should be better after-care and support in place! Most women are so well looked after when they are pregnant, when delivering a baby etc... I even think you should still be offered support and checks throughout the first year! Generally there could be so much more... The hardest job you will ever do, obviously the most rewarding, but still so hard! Love that you're being honest and open about both the highs and lows xx
Congratulations! I love that Rich is being so supportive! I literally high fives the TV when he was talking about how he should be involved with helping you feed etc. Love it. Breastfeeding is hard but it does get better. By about 8 weeks with routine etc it all starts to feel a bit more normal.
Totally agree re the support. So much of the midwife appointments focus around the birth rather than how to cope in those first couple weeks. I was knocked sideways by how challenging feeding was and it had a huge effect on my mood at the beginning. I’d even been to a breastfeeding class beforehand, which made it all seem so natural and easy. No mention of the potential infections and how to deal with them/prevent them. I managed to get through it and actually ended up feeding for 18 months, but so many of my friends didn’t stick with it (which is obv fine), but I think they would have if they’d had more information from the start. Anyway, so happy for you both - keep up the good work, she’s clearly thriving xxx
Huge congratulations to you both. What a stunning name love it. You can do all the pre planning but nothing can explain the experience. It’s so tough the first six months but your doing a great job, be kind to yourselves and each other. Sleep deprivation is the worst. Well done on sticking with the breastfeeding, Lansinoh is brilliant and they do beads that you can put in the fridge/freezer they are heaven. I have written about our first few months if you fancy a read whilst feeding x
Thank you for this “first” video of your new little family, you guys are sooo cute, I’m so happy for you !!! 🌈❤️☀️🍀💕
I can totally agree with the time after the delivery being the hardest a bit of a rude awakening. I’d also agree that here in the US as well we could use some better guidance on feeding and what to expect after the baby arrives. It’s a rough couple of months in the beginning but it gets easier and a tons more fun! Congratulations! 👶🏼🎉
I’m also currently in the newborn bubble! My little girl was born 22/5 and we’ve just hit the 4 week mark. You’re so right: I can’t even begin to think about anything else, and leaving the house feels like such a mammoth task. Thank you for posting this video! It’s nice to tap into someone else in the exact mindset as me and just find that reassurance.
Grey is just the cutest little baby ever!! Thank you for the taking the time out of your busy schedule to say hi and introduce her to us! Congratulations - I'm so happy for your little family xx
0:26 Has to be one the sweetest pics on CZcams. Congratulations.
OMG... you two are just too cute... and Grey is simply ADORABLE... that first shot of her in the pink and think chubby cheeks 🥰 Feeling the Baby Fever bad ☺️.... so true that there needs to be more information and support for the After Birth
Congratulations! Yes it's the post-birth "stuff" that isn't focused on and it's that "stuff" that often couples struggle with and which can really test your relationship. I did mention in your birth-prep video to focus on what comes after, as of course the birth is very important but the focus some people place on it and everything being "perfect" for the birth compared to focusing on a safe delivery and more focus on the YEARS of "stuff" ahead as a parent and/or a couple has always puzzled me. So lovely to see you battling this as a team. The first few months will seem like a roller-coaster but you'll look back on them fondly, particularly in terms of that first baby newborn bubble. Enjoy! Best wishes from Australia.
Grey is so cuddly and gorgeous and you both look so happy! Massive congratulations! Having a baby is super tough, I agree about all the stuff the happens after birth. I had twins and I just couldn’t get over how much things changed literally in one day. You going from being pregnant to suddenly being this tiny person(s) total support. You cant just learn how to change a nappy one day, learn feeding the next day, figuring out the cries the following day. They come out and it’s just “go! Keep this/these human/s alive!” The first few months were a total haze for us. It really is such an amazing time though, I love being a mum and wouldn’t change it for anything int the world but man, its super tough!
Had a smile on my face the whole time while watching this video. It's so lovely to see you and Rich and Baby Grey. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations on the birth of your lovely daughter. Enjoy these precious days together time goes so quickly. It gets easier with time and patience.
Major congratulations and as most new parents say, "now my life is fulfilled" - peace, love and blessings to your family.
Congratulations to you both and Happy 1st Father's Day to Rich. Love how he is showing how much he is involved and so supporting. Well done Lily sorry you've had a few rough time's, but all worth it now to have her in your arms. So welcome Gray and may your life be full of love, health and happiness. xx
Congratulations little family. Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Cheers to all the adventures to come and learning new parenting things each new day. Thanks for sharing. You 2 are the cutest parents. Elizabeth Stevenson, Wisconsin, USA 🇺🇸
Congratulations! Totally agree there is way too mucubfocud on labour and not enough on what to do after especially feeding the baby. Breastfeeding was by far the hardest part for me and some support would have really helped. You are doing an amazing job x
Happy Father’s Day Rich! You both look happier than ever, she’s such a cutie. Welcome to the world Grey!
Lily you are an amazing mom. You both doing a great job! And I fully agree with you in every aspect of your video. I am a new mom as well. My husban had only 2 weeks of from work which most we did spend in hospital. It was such a shock when this time passed so quick and i am on my own for a whole day since than. It feels very much like i am a single mom. Only on a weekends we are like a real family. Little advice: if grey has an issue with her eye, please use your breast milk to clean her eyes. She might have blocked tear tear docked. Do it few times a day for a week and thia issue should despair. Breast milk is doing wonderful things!
In the Netherlands you get a nurse in your home the first 8days for 7 hours a day to lurn you everyhing about your baby, breastfeeding and stuff. I have so much respect for you woman who dont have that.
She's beautiful! And you both look incredibly happy. It is so nice to see both parents talking about the experience together and the fact you both shared the importance of being there for each other, lifting each other up when you need too. The fact Rich is able to show how eager he is to get stuck in is refreshing too. (I know it shouldn't be as I know most fathers will be like this but you rarely get to see fatherhood in such a way)
Lots of love to you all!
Congrats Lily & Rich! Grey is perfect. Welcome to the world, baby! Happy Father's Day, Rich.
She’s gorgeous! Congratulations. Just want to say how much I love how real your instagram updates have been, love the honesty❤️
Congratulations. The first 6 weeks are hard for breasfeeding then it gets so much better. I joined Facebook breastfeeding groups that really helped me for advice and just not feeling like I was on my own. Also they have a what to wear for feeding page that's fantastic. Enjoy her it goes in a flash but they grow into amazing little people ❤️
It was so nice to see this video pop up. Take all the time you need with Grey and Rich, we’re not going anywhere. I’m glad you’re all doing well. I have enjoyed your insta posts along the way - what a journey it has been already!
Congratulations new Mom & Dad!!! She's adorable. Happy Father's Day Rich!!!
Huge huge congratulations again. She is absolutely beautiful and so cute. I am sure you both together are the most caring parents. Wish all three of you lots of strength, peace, and love.
Conguatulations Lily, Rich. Excited for you both. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Same feeling as when a good friend shares their new little bundle of joy.
Congratulations on your little beauty Grey - she’s so adorable! Enjoy every minute holding and cuddling with her - it goes by so fast!🌸🍾🌻👶
Congratulations on the arrival of Grey Luna. She is as cute as her name 💗💗 Great point Rich made, bout the support after. in Australia there is a show called 'The letdown' and it shows the realistic side of parenting, with a bit of humour. 🤣🤣Give it a watch you would relate to some of the things as parents 👶🏼
I'm genuinely so happy for you both! You're rocking it as parents! And happy Father's Day as well!
You two are soooo preciousL. Baby Grey is adorable! Thank goodness for your family. You two are very lucky! I can’t wait watch her grow up❣️♥️❣️
OMGosh, that child is going to be the spitting image of you. We see so much of your nieces and nephews that I could totally see them in that first shot of Grey. She’s a beauty!!!!
Congrats! The first three months were a fog for us. It felt like a second went by but like 900 years because of the sleep deprivation. It is intimidating to get out with the a baby, but I definitely recommend it. Even if you walk outside in the garden, it will be good for you to get out. And YES! My husband and I kept talking about how there’s so many books about being pregnant and labor, but nothing afterward. We are the first in our friend group and family to have a baby, so we went to the doctor ALOT and I’ve googled so much haha
Thanks for mentioning just how hard it is after the birth. The reality of life with a new baby can be very tough in the beginning. So thanks for mentioning that’s it’s not always sweetness and light. I agree that there is not enough awareness/preparation for how hard it actually can be.
What rich said at the end about support, and aftercare.. so true and totally agree.
Our daughter Billie was born last year on May 16th. Lovely! Welcome Baby Grey!
