    Mom just take your time. It takes 9 months to grow a beautiful baby so take a year to heal body and strength. My doctor was so cool he said women should give there body a year to get back to where they were. You look awesome. Prays for all.

  • @lesliedavis6081
    @lesliedavis6081 Před 2 lety +1

    I love that you do what is best for your baby, regardless of comments from others. You are outstanding! Your body just gave birth to an entire newborn human! I pray you are giving your body PATIENCE and your mind and heart GRACE that you need as you heal and adjust to life with a five year old and a newborn. May God richly and sweetly bless your home and your lovely family!

    Gee, I wonder how Zander survived without all the advice people give you, lol. You are a wonderful mother. Zander will always be such a great big brother, I just know it.

    Yep Xander, sometimes us grownups would like to cover our ears and run to a corner, too! 🤣
    Lexi is already changing so much and getting cuter by the day!
    Xander is going to be such a great big brother. I can just see him always looking out for her, just like a mother hen🥰
    Great video👍🏼
    God Bless🙏

    Beautiful baby, beautiful family, beautiful mama! Thanks so much for sharing about your life during this crazy, special time. I’m due with my third (will have 3 kiddos, 4yo and under) in just a couple weeks so this video was inspiring to me. I’m praying I get a Lexi baby!! 😊
    And I just want to add - be kind to yourself about the baby weight. You are breastfeeding and so loved by your family no matter the size. Give yourself grace and don’t get discouraged over it while you’re doing so well managing so much ❤️

    Your husbands face when he holds Lexi , he looks absolutely besotted. Zander will be fine, he’s doing so well it’s hard for him to share mum and dad but he will get there. Just remember you are not alone your Heavenly Father is with you all the time xxxxxx

    When our baby was in the NICU this year, our nurses would often lay a rolled up swaddle the same way you did and she seemed to really liked that.

  • @meglamerato4251
    @meglamerato4251 Před 2 lety +1

    Your flowers look beautiful! Such terrific nieces are such a blessing.
    My son also nursed every 2 hours. Now he is 6’5”, so apparently his constant need to nurse was because he was growing an incredibly huge body! Our daughters were better sleepers.
    May God continue to bless your family !

  • @jasper63689
    @jasper63689 Před 2 lety

    I'm in my 60's and I remember well, I was exhausted and only had a 4 year old. It took me about a month to feel better and get my energy back. I learned to sleep when that baby slept and I went to bed early at night. I made supper early in the afternoon and kept for evening and that helped because by that time I was pooped. Baths, dishes and a load of laundry and I was done. Just remember that when she gets a little older she will nurse longer as she will regulate her milk supply. Hang in there mama! And Congratulations!!

    I did the roll of the towel with my babies. I'm old fashioned with alot of things. Yes, I remember those getting stains out of gowns and outfits, from the blow outs!That is exactly what I would call it. Don't push yourself. She is precious! God Bless and lots of love from a Grandma in Cali 🌺

  • @levetamcclellan8551
    @levetamcclellan8551 Před 2 lety

    I think you are very smart in letting her sleep that way, my baby was asleep on her back and got so strangled from spit up that she quit breathing , at two months, called an ambulance and hospitalized to find out that her esophagus flap didn’t close, so then we had to have her sleep upright at an angle, and had to give her baby cereal to thicken her formula, and another thing, I think it’s so crazy that people bind their babies up, they are born out of the womb to grow and move and stretch, babies can’t move, it reminds me of the Chinese women use to bind their feet, please don’t give me hate mail over my last comment, it’s just my belief

  • @karenokleson975

    She is, of course, adorable!! She’s very calm!!! And you look amazing!! Use this time to recover without feeling driven and remember that you deserve this season of rest. If you push you’ll pay later. I’m the queen of “resting makes me feel lazy”. God made our bodies to have good rest! So no pressure, ok?

    • @theMennoniteMom

    Love your content and how your life is just real! You have had life experience, and many ups and downs we can relate too.

God bless you and your family!!!

      @theMennoniteMom  Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you for that. It means a lot as that's a big thing I dislike... but I hard balance to find... is when we portray life just perfect when it's not. Yet it can be difficult to know what to share and what is oversharing with the hard things. So thank you.

    Oh Xander. He's a sweetheart. With some very normal thoughts about wanting things to go back to the way they were. Lexi is a darling baby but I think you are handling the issues perfectly. It will change of course with every stage Lexi goes through. Both kids will be just fine. I got a lump in my throat when daddy was holding his little girl and she was looking up at him. Precious beyond words.

    My husband's sister is 5 years younger. She grew up adoring her brother. He, on the other hand, like Xander, remembered the "good ole days with much fondness. Lol! They haved shared many similar interests and talk weekly. It's an interesting sibling dynamic being 5 years apart, but they're quite close.

    You are so fortunate to have your family so close, my mom had passed and my other family was so far away so I basically was on my own. She is so precious
