Am I giving birth anytime soon? Nope! Am I going to watch this entire thing? Yes 😁
😂
Same!! 😂😂
I think a Trahan-Pham baby is something that internet isn’t ready for, but we’d all love to see.
And yes, I’m a guy watching Jess’ video because she and Gabe are amazing.
Same 😂
relatable.
A tip for shifts- you have the right idea for baby #2! We have found it works really well for me to get up with the babies to breastfeed and let my husband sleep.. because him being well rested makes him so helpful during the day. I got to nap while baby napped, he would make me food, do things around the house, and then help with our older boy when we had baby #2. Then he would do some skin to skin for bonding. I know many people feel like the night time shifts should be shared, but this worked out really well for us!
really glad to hear that!! 💛
💯
Completely agree! And if there are couples who share night time duty and it works, that's great, but at most I'll ask my husband to do a middle of the night diaper change. He's still getting plenty of uninterrupted hours, especially since we go to bed earlier now.
Same for us! The first few weeks he would get up to help me since I was still figuring stuff out and was healing from a tear and all that, but once I got the hang of it he would sleep through the night. Then in the morning he would take her after I fed her for a few hours so I could sleep, come back for me to feed her then take her again. So we both got a good amount of rest!
your demeanour is SO calming. i love it
from watching you a few years ago to now I love how much more comfortable and confident you are in front of the camera! It makes it feel like a big sister chat! hope everything goes smoothly this birth!!
awww I appreciate that!!! 🥲
26 year old mom of 3 here 👋 my biggest tip for doing feeding shifts is to either have hubby take baby for first shift of the night, immediately following a feed (usually around 8-9pm) and go to bed early for a couple/few hours, he can stay up with baby until 10/11 and then bring baby to you. Alternately, if you prefer to sleep in he can take baby immediately after a feed early in the morning, around 5/6 and you can sleep in a couple more hours! This makes it so you get a few good quality hours of sleep every night but you don’t have to pump! And he gets to sleep through the night while you handle feeds. That’s what has worked for us! Best of luck 🫶❤
oh I like this!!! thank you!!
This is exactly what my husband does for my exclusively BF baby and it works great for us!! ❤ i also put a sound machine on in case she cries so i don’t startle awake
This is so helpful thank you!!
No baby here but I am curious to understand better, in the late night shift or early morning baby is not sleeping at all after the feed? Or is it helpful that the dad does it because the baby care like changing/ rocking can be long and make you feel you have no rest between feeds?
Expecting my first baby and this is such a good idea that I will consider! Thank you for the tip!
The best thing I did my third trimester was prep muffins, pancakes, and bfast sandwiches to keep in the freezer. I was so sad when they ran out 😂
Praying for your delivery and postpartum ❤
def what I plan to do!!!!
that’s so smart because i feel like everyone preps/people bring you dinners but i found breakfast things sO much more helpful!
My lactation consultant gave me a tip to cut out little squares of wax paper and to put them on after applying the nipple cream. This helped to keep the cream on you instead of just absorbing in your bra. This helped so much! Good luck with everything. You got this!
GREAT TIP!!
This video is so helpful! I want to make sure I'm prepared for baby but also I'm a minimalist so I don't want tons of baby clutter. Theses are great tips!
this plan looks sooo good thus far, jess girl! i am so excited for you and your family on this next step of your journey. love you and be safe. you're in my prayers.
Thank you for posting, Jess!!! 22 weeks tomorrow with my first, and am starting to research alllll the things, so it’s nice to have your perspective! 🤍✨
I love your vlogs! Praying for a healthy baby!
you’re amazing!! I always look forward to watching your videos! I hope everything goes well with your pregnancy🩷🩷
Hi, Jess! I really enjoyed your video. I’m a college student, I saw it upload earlier in the week when I was studying for finals. I saved it to watch for when I finished all of my classes and was moved out and back home. Thanks for helping me relax and do some self care after a busy semester❤ I appreciate what you have to share!
I definitely recommend the owlet.. when pregnant I didn’t really think about it and thought it was unnecessary but our little girl ended up being born premature so I asked around and the NICU nurses told us they are quite accurate.. once we did finally get to bring baby girl home it gave me such peace of mind, and honestly the ability to sleep well between feeds knowing that if something sinister were to occur, we would be notified immediately.. used for 10months and only alarmed once when she had RSV which we ended up needing hospital for anyway..
Loving these loooong vlogs! 💛💛
Loved that you kept changing backgrounds
The owlet raised my anxiety even more because of false alarms when the sock would shift in their sleep. But we also had a nicu baby so the false alarms were extra triggering for me. Totally support people who enjoyed it and want to use it, just personally didn’t have a good experience with it.
I have heard this but we used owlet and only ever had 1 false alarm! And I’ve always said I’d rather have false alarms than not know of a real one🥺.
@@dirtbk11 unfortunately I had quite a few false alarms but I think it’s great if it works for others!!
I’ve had one false alarm when my son’s cold feet were raised but I’ve also had two alarms that were real and we were alerted to my son unresponsive. I understand the raise in anxiety, my son being a NICU baby too but I wouldn’t have this any other way
@@michellecassidy6908 totally get that! I ended up donating mine to another nicu mom who I know got lots of use out of it. It just wasn’t helpful for me!
was feeling v anxious before bed and saw your notification. thank u jess :(
I’m so excited for baby #2!
Yay, my favorite CZcamsr uploaded 🥳🫶
Love love your vlogs!! Such great content and super helpful. Praying for you and a healthy baby💕
Yes, yes yes to baby wearing! I didn’t start wearing my baby till she was about a month old and I wish I had done it sooner. Like you said, I also struggled in the beginning with trying to get things done around the house and Caring For baby when her naps were so short, it wasn’t until I started wearing her, that I started to get more peace of mind and want so overwhelmed with trying to get chores done. It can be intimidating at first. I just watched a lot of videos and tried it around the house. I started out with the wrap which is great but can be a little annoying having to tie it and making sure it’s not too tight or too loose I tried the ring sling and I found those were so much easier to use in public. You can Quickly put them on and adjust while baby is in. Now that I’m pregnant with baby number two, I got a another carrier that allows me to carry my baby on the back now that the bumps in the way . My first will only be 13 months when I have my baby in August, so I’m sure I’ll be baby wearing a lot.
The number of times Jess repeated "hand-me-downs" is giving a gender reveal soft launch🤭
Also she said she earlier in the video... Maybe when talking about the swaddled I can't be bothered checking again
Not necessarily. she has a lot of gender neutral clothing items.
I feel like the fact the nursery is changing indicates it could be a boy! So who knows. I’m excited to find out!
You are so positive and so amazing, and such Kind hearted person! ❤️ you are doing so amazing as a mommy of 2 already 😇😊 I, myself can't believe how blessed you are with your beautiful family life your are growing - you give me so much inspiration and grace ❤️ thank you for always being there!
@@ThaisCarrilloshe has a baby girl nursery board on Pinterest so I think a girl
I’m currently 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my first baby! Watching this gave me some reassurance on certain things ❤️ Praying for a healthy delivery 🙏
ahhh congrats!!! you got this!!!!
@@JessConte thank you Jess! ❤️
Good luck! I had my first at 40+3, so I understand going late. You can do this 😊
Awww *-* You'll have your baby in your arms in NO TIME!! my baby was born at 41+4 and I was DESPERATE for her to come already, so just hang in there and enjoy some crafts or hobbys you like before they arrive! :) You've got this, mama!!💪
@@gwh2100 thank you 💗
As a mom of two young kids, I also had two years apart this was such a good video!! I agree with everything you said Jess!!! Good luck to you and I can’t wait for you to enjoy the special moments that come with a second child being born ❤
So exciting!! I remember when I was planning everything for my daughter, who's just 2 months younger than yours, and seeing you go though this again is reminding me of that time! :) I can 100% recommend a carrier: Boba bliss. Suuuuuper easy to use, and COMFORTABLE!! it's like a hybrid carrier, easy to put on and off like the more sturdy ones, but super comfy like the elastic cloth ones. Everyone I know that's used it has loved it and recommends it!
Hey out there in the States. Thank you a lot for all the positive vibes from you and your family. I am praying for you two and your children, and all the things you'll need during birth!
Loved watching your video, Jess! I’m so excited for you guys and look forward to your next updates and videos!!❤️
So exciting for you! I loooooved my Solly Baby Wrap. SOOO soft and once I got the hang of it, I wore it ALL the time. Dishes, church, walks, everything. It was my absolute favourite.
I love you Jess, wishing you all the best dear ❤🎉
Ah I adore Bridget from Built to Birth!! 💛 I’ll be starting her course soon, so I’m really glad to hear you liked it!
LOVE her!!!
This is so very helpful especially for first time moms. Knowing what’s essential to buy and what’s not. I’ve been told by many experience moms that baby actually really need very little items and not much. This also helps keeps things very simple and not be overwhelmed by it!
Loving mummy Jess and the all that you share on your journey as a mum! Happy mothers day in advance ❤ and thank you for sharing all your resources and all you have learnt thus far.
Love love love a wrap to baby wear for the first 6ish months!!! Once you figure it out, it’s super easy to put on. Love love the ergobaby 360 baby carrier. SO easy to figure out. Just clips!
I love youuuu, Jess💓
I had a really hard day today, this lifts up my mood🌈
In my opinion, shifts don’t work unless your husband does not stay in the room. Mine took first shift and gave baby breastmilk bottles of milk that I had pumped during the day and usually one bottle of formula. I would go to sleep around 8-9 and pump right before going to sleep and then he would stay in the living room with the baby. Then he would roll her in around 1-2am and I would get up with her the rest of the night. He is a light sleeper so he went and slept in the other room so he could get uninterrupted sleep as well. It worked seamlessly for us. My baby did not have a good latch so I would pump after feeding her a bottle when she woke up the first time. I knew I did not want to have to pump through the night so I wouldn’t pump unless I woke up and needed to before she came in but I don’t think it even happened. I also pumped first thing in the morning. But if you breastfeed then you wouldn’t have to worry about the pumping and it would be even easier!
Jess, we will watch and enjoy whatever you put up! LOVED the longer video today! I’m 24 and single, NOWHERE NEAR having kids and I watched the whole thing. Been following you since you and Gabe got married and this just feels like a FaceTime ☺️🤍
Baby Beluga wraps are super soft and SO Easy to use! I also find they provide good back support! Lots of colours and patterns to choose from as well! 🤍
I highly recommend the babybjorn carrier! I absolutely loved this so easy to do yourself!
I haven’t even started watching this yet and I’m already so excited
A 30min video from Jess yesssss❤❤
love this video! wish you well for the rest of your pregnancy and for this upcoming birth 🩷🩷🩷 i definitely plan to take allll the pictures and homelike videos of the newborn days as well because i barely have any of my firstborn :( such a special time though!
I’m 37+2 days with first baby, and this is a total life saver def things I didn’t know about! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I would love to watch a video of you going through the stored baby stuff that you have!!
OMG I WATCH THE BUILT TO BIRTH ALSO! I loved her❤️
loooove her!!
i love the sakura bloom scout carrier!!! it’s beautiful and extremely comfortable
I love our BabyBjorn Mini!! Super easy to put on by yourself and very comfortable :)
I use the mobi wrap with my little one. She is 6 weeks old and I have been baby wearing since the first week. Putting her in the wrap infront of a mirror is what really helped me because I could see where to put her legs etc. Also, get Gabe to help you the first few times if you are nervous about manouvering the baby into the wrap. My husband helped me the first 4 times until I was confident enough to do it myself. I have just ordered the ergobaby omni 360, so excited to try that. Don't be intimidated by baby wearing! It really is so helpful and I love her being so close to me. You look amazing btw!! ❤
Jess, I have used the owlet and still currently have it actually. I really liked it. It gave me some ease after losing my first son and having my second son come into this world. I was so nervous that he was going to stop breathing in the middle of the night or even during the day. I do recommend it!
Loved the babydink carrier from Australia, it’s so easy to use and my baby loved it!
I have the ergobaby breeze babycarrier. It is very easy and has 3 settings from newborn to bigger baby. My baby has been happy in that carrier from birth and still is at 9 months! It is also very easy to use alone without help. Good luck!
Owlet is amazing!!!
Also I have all three of the Chekoh carriers! Used the wrap so so much and now use the clip carrier. My son ONLY naps on me in the carrier (we have tried everything) anyway it’s cute but the carriers are life changing and it’s also so cute!
Boppy carrier is the BEST! It’s a hybrid of a wrap and a firmer carrier!
I have a baby carrier from stokke! I love it and it’s easy to use!
Love your channel ❤
The owlet is AMAZING!!! Definitely gives you peace of mind. My first baby was stillborn so when I had my son 5 years after I was so paranoid something would happen to him like SIDS and a friend of mine gifted me the owlet and it saved my sanity ❤
I love the tush baby with the carrier attachment!! Definitely for babies 5+ months but it’s so comfy for both of us!
Loved seeing this video. Breastfeeding is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Congrats on being able to do 13 months!
Absolutely love the owlet! It gives me such a peace of mind when my baby makes a weird noise. You get live HR and O2 levels. It is super easy to use and the baby doesn't mind it. You don't have to worry about waking the baby to check on breathing. I have also found it useful now that the baby is in the nursery, because an alarm will go off if the baby is moving too much. I honestly don't know how I would sleep without it.
I loveddd the boppy comfy fit for the first few months bc it’s similar to a wrap carrier but so much easier to use and not intimidating at all haha. And then I love the Tula for a more structured carrier when they’re older and it sooo comfortable and supportive of your back! And once again, so easy to use!
The boppy carrier is by far my favorite!!! It’s so easy to use and it’s like a wrap! So baby loves it too! I recommend the evenflo dual ride shyft! It’s like the doona but better in my opinion! There’s more room to grow and has this sensor on it for the heat!
The ergo baby embrace is the best baby carrier! It is so easy to put on and is a soft structured carrier.
The marsupi carrier with velcro fastener ist for sure the best and easiest carrier. I tried all the others and also felt overwhelmed.
I am so exited for you guys and wish you all the best ❤️
In regards to baby wear buy the moby wrap! It’s the best thing ever, saved me with my baby I could get soooo much done and she would contact nap in it while I washed dishes or whatever I needed to get done. They show you different techniques on CZcams for different ages and she loved it at every age 🥰
I’m expecting my first baby and this helped me so so much!!! I can’t wait for more videos to help me out and ease anxieties
Love these!!!! Not planning on having a baby anytime soon but I’m still watching lol!!!
baby bjorn “mini” carrier is AMAZING!! solly wrap is very comfy and form fitting to your body & baby however, its not as quick/easy
Momcozy with the fixed back! Super easy and my kid absolutely LOVED IT
Artipoppe baby carrier is THE best carrier. My baby melts into it and it’s the easiest and quickest baby carrier to put on! The fabric is amazing quality hence the price, but it’s machine washable and they have the cutest styles!
I have looked into that one but wasn't sure if it was worth the price! 🙈
How do you feel this one does once baby is 20+ lbs??
Baby wearing is a game changer!! We used the Boba wrap a lot when our babe was 0-5 months (we still sometimes use it). We splurged and got the Wildbird Aerial carrier-absolutely amazing! We had an Ergobaby one and it was super confusing. The Wildbird is comfortable and so easy to use. I can put it on by myself front and back wearing, it’s amazing. I’ve heard good things about the Artipoppe too!
As a soon to be mom of two, I love my Ergobaby Embrace. It is so soft, folds up small to fit in a diaper bag, and has stretch so you can "bounce" the baby while you walk. After trying a few different carriers, this was a favourite! It is also easy for me to get on and off on my own, which was a big plus. I hated the bigger wraps, I could never figure them out on my own.
Artipoppe is hands down the best carrier. It’s expensive but worth it. I also loved the solly wrap for when my daughter was first born.
Hope you and your family are all safe after the Nashville Tornado, sending prayers to those affected :)
Lovely positive video and I agree with you on many things :)
Hey Jess :) it was so nice to watch this, I’ve been struggling with not having many friends recently and I always feel like we’re on FaceTime when I watch your videos 🥹🩵
For the love of Jess and her family, I'm watching this till the end, plus I'm getting tips for when I get a baby in future❤
Hey Jess !♥️ I just wanted to say that you don’t have to be so hard on yourself ! You learnt with your baby while growing, you really did so well! It’s honestly so inspiring, especially because you were able to acknowledge the small things to fix for baby number 2. Taking care of a baby is a bit scary especially with all the unknown but the fact that she is who is she is, is because of all your love and support and attention to the finer details ! You are such an amazing mom, you really inspire me and I can’t wait to be a mom because of you! ♥️
Baby wear recommendations from a mama of 4 ❤
I loved the Solly wrap for the newborn days for when you need to get things done around the house. It'll take a few times to get used to the the long fabric and ties, but I really love how cozy and comfortable it was for baby and I.
We loved the baby bjorn carrier for when we are out and about. Super easy and fast to put on, only 4 clips 🥳
When you had your first babe, I had my 4th around the same time. So sweet to see you go through it again with baby #2. Congrats and so happy for you guys ❤
I also watched Bridget Teyler during my pregnacy and gave birth to my first unmedicated in June 2023. Like you, i also had a quick and smooth labor so I'd definitely go unmedicated again for my next. Highly recommend Bridget to anyone. Wishing you a healthy and smooth delivery 💕
Medela pump is actually really good, was using it myself too
I loved the babybjorn air carrier! So easy to do and I felt so secure with it. And doing it on my own was a breeze!
Tik tok was the best for showing how to baby wear! I had a baby bjorn carrier I loved, the boba and moby wrap were both great and so comfy, and then an ergobaby one which wasn’t as comfy or supportive as the baby bjorn! I really want the artipoppe carrier for my next baby because we baby wore ALL THE TIME!
I struggled with finding a baby carrier as well! Mostly in finding one my baby liked. The one I ended up liking the most was the Ergobaby Embrace carrier. It was comfy for both of us and not too difficult to figure out!
The Ariel buckle baby carrier from wild bird is a godsend! You can wear them in it from newborn until they’re nearly 1! It’s adjustable and super easy. I will say, I used the moby wrap for the first few weeks just because they’re SO little. I loved that one too! Just took practice
ahhh thats actually what I had, the Moby! but it was so confusing for me hahah maybe I just need to practice more beforehand 🥲
@@JessConte i agree 100% it’s not easy! I practiced a lot before my son was even born because I was so nervous about it 😅 Once you get it, it’ll be like second nature!
We have the ergo baby carrier and I LOVE it. It is a little pricey but they have deals. My son is almost 18 months and I still use it sometimes. You can sidewear, backwear, and frontwear (forward-facing and front-facing). I found it had plenty of padding so it was super comfortable. It has a hood on it to protect against the sun or if he was asleep to keep the sun out of his eyes. It also has a carrier pack on it for things like a wipe and diaper or anything else you can fit in there. :) It also has different widths for legs depending on age so it doesn't hurt their hip or joints.
I’m currently pregnant with my first! I’m so nervous! I love the recommendations in this video gives me peace of mind on knowing what’s needed or helpful!
The solly wrap was my favorite when he was a newborn but since around 3 months I’ve loved my wild bird carrier!
I found a wrap was best for a baby until like 4/5 months. It wasn't too hard to learn, there are lots of video tutorials that are super helpful! I have yet to find a structured carrier that i liked from there!
Also, vtech has been great for baby monitors, and I have one that doesn't use wifi (which i prefer)
the owelette sock is an absolute game changer !! it provides peace of mind when baby is sleeping & will alert you if baby’s oxygen level or heart rate is out of normal range ! it’s absolutely incredible. definitely worth the money!
The ember mug that you showed is 100% worth it!! It helps so much during postpartum because I had a tendency to forget my coffee or tea. It has different Temps too so you don't burn it 😊 as for wraps, the Mushie wrap was my favorite!! Definitely reccomend, it's sturdy and easy to use. I still use it with my 15mo!
We’ve been doing baby wearing nonstop for almost a year now! I’ve tried over a dozen carriers. My favorites:
- Newborn: Solly wrap (because you can tuck baby’s head in and still use both hands)
- When baby has more head control: Boppy comfort chic and ergo baby embrace
- When my baby outgrew the boppy and ergo baby embrace: Wild bird aerial (good for up to 45lbs)
Carriers are awesome for contact naps because baby can be napping on you while you get house work done!
I had my son a week after your first & I’m pregnant now as well! 💗 The Baby Bjorn Mini is the easiest to use until they grow out of it, afterwards I would look for a soft structured carrier (currently on the hunt for one as well) because the structured Ergo Baby that I had was not as comfy or easy to use on your own!
I loveeeeee wraps with newborn floppy babies! They make doing things and holding them soooo easy! Then once they are bigger and can hold their head up I LOVE the Ergo baby carrier. It’s soooo easy and once you have it all set up to fit you.
wraps intimidate me and I wish they didn't!!! thats what I tried with baby #1 🙈
Yes to babywear! My baby was a Velcro baby and I had to baby wear to allow for contact naps :) I found in the newborn stage the wrap ones are the best, I got the konny flex which was very easy to use!
LOVE the Owlet it quickly tracks their sleeping pattern and gives an accurate prediction of when they’ll wake up. You can set it to alert you for anything and there’s a specific alarm sound built in that goes off in case their heart rate or temperature drops/spikes (its something we faced and I promise you it is a sound that’ll wake you up and send you on your feet) It’s incredibly accurate at tracking their movements and sleep activity and we didn’t have a baby monitor so this gave us such a peace of mind. The alarms goes off in your phone and also where you charge the sock which also plays lullabies if it either senses that baby is coming out of REM sleep or the sock isn’t placed properly. I appreciated the way it’d send messages such as “Your baby may be uncomfortable” or “Your baby may be too warm” “Your baby is awake! Time to say hello😊!” It also gives cute little “baby is 3 months today🎉 they may start to….”. Highly recommend it to everyone.
Highly recommend the konny baby carrier - didn’t have it with my first but it was a game changer for baby 2/3… it goes on like a tshirt so is quick and simple to throw on and grows with them so always feels secure even from teeny tiny.
I had my first a month after you had Makaiah and I feel the exact same with everything you pointed out for the second baby.
You realise that buying all of the things recommended by everyone can actually be overwhelming - having to figure out how to use everything and store it and clean it! I’d like to go as minimal and simple as possible for my second because it’s less work!
Regarding carriers, I personally like the wrap carrier for a tiny baby. Once my girl got to around 8 months, it wasn’t as comfortable any more and I felt the same way as you with the big bulky carriers, they’re pretty uncomfortable especially for at home. I didn’t end up continuing with baby wearing so don’t have any recommendations unfortunately.
Solly baby wrap is awesome for the newborn stage when it’s warm out. Or the ergo baby. Love both! Definitely put them on a few times before you baby wear and then it’s easy and second nature!
I love love lovee watching your videos❤
