Katie, that sweet baby will come when the Lord says .Our second daughter was due Christmas Day but my water broke on November 19 .
I completely understand on the reason why you aren't sharing the due date of baby! I conpletely agree on you guys taking time with baby first and then sharing whenever you guys want! I'll wait for as long as I have to even if I'm just anxious but it will be exciting! Love your little family!
U know whenever you and Ben choose to share is up to you, too. It adds to surprise for us your viewers.
You have a beautiful family, Whatever you choose to share is up to you.
I had a scheduled induction due to a small window of my husband being home in the military and it went great! Was 24 hrs on the dot from the start of us getting there to when he came out. When we arrived I also had a male nurse/dr and he was AMAZING. He made my experience truly the best and it was not uncomfortable at all like I figured it would be. He helped me so much with everything, even with the first time to the bathroom, all the things and I am forever grateful for him!
Due dates are exact anyways so it shouldn't matter when you are due it's when the baby wants to be born. Whenever you decide is fine by me.
There should be a supplement that you can give Sunny to eliminate the yellow spots in the yard! I’ve seen it at normal pet box stores!
I had a male doctor deliver my son and I felt a bit uncomfortable in the beginning, but going along with what you said and it was perfectly stated that when you’re 10 centimeters dilated you don’t care let’s just get that baby here. Love, hugs and prayers to you for a safe and easy delivery and another beautiful healthy baby🙏🏼💙🧸💝✝️🌞🌸☮️♥️🥰❣️❣️❣️❣️
I was induced at 39 weeks with my first and it did end with an emergency c section. It was also my biggest fear, but I just came to say that it was honestly not a big deal at all, for me at least. I got to see her right away, I got to hold her the whole time that I was being stitched back together. Recovery was fine, too. Ice and walking helped the most!
I do recommend looking into things regarding a c section, just in case. I wish I would've requested a clear sheet. I did with my 2nd (planned c section), and it was so cool to see him come out!
Katie get a lawn care service to come out and they WILL make your grass look GREAT and you will be so happy you did. I love you and your family. You have a BEAUTIFUL family. GREAT PARENTS AND GREAT KIDDOS and can not wait until the baby gets here. The girls will be so sweet with the 6:55 baby. Perfect family, will you adopt me lol lol❤❤
Definitely worth the dog potty area! The rocks do get pretty smelly but there's a product called ez-clean that helps neutralize the smell on the rocks. Make sure you rinse it down often.
You gave me the confidence to homeschool my girls (also K & preK) & it’s been the BEST time! I had a male doctor for all 3 pregnancies, my 2 girls + a surrogacy, & I loved it. He was actually way more kind & gentle than the females I’ve had 😂
What I use for the stove stop racks and burner tops is I soak them in cascade dishwasher pods and Hot water then I scrub them try it out smells a lot less chemically and easy to clean
My daughter had an emergency csection bc baby heartbeat kept going down. Nothing to it. Just a normal csection after a normal labor.
Please check the lawn care out you will be so happy. We had 2 puppies and our lawn was BEAUTIFUL and so green. Just trying to help you have green grass and you want have to worry about it, just sit back and enjoy your green BEAUTIFUL grass.
Hi Katie and family! Long time watcher here and I absolutely love and respect your decision to not share your due date. I think it shows personal growth and that you are setting boundaries for your safety and well-being. As a viewer, I think you have grown up with grace and positivity. Yes you've been really open in the past but now you're growing and learning more about yourself and what you want as a family. Being a young mom with 3 almost 4 kids and a dog, I'm 28 and I don't know how you do it! I hope you continue to shine and glow and radiate positivity and do what you love when you want to do it and not when us viewers want you to do it. It's not our life it's yours and you know you best ❤️❤️
I couldn’t agree more with y’all limiting what you put on the vlogs. Definitely take your time with soaking everything in and doing what you’re comfortable with! As for induction with my first baby, it was great up until she was so big she ripped me at a 3rd degree. I had to be induced due to health reasons though. I did have a male OB and he was great up until the birth. My experience wasn’t the best but my experience isn’t everyone’s either. The male OB you’re seeing could be absolutely phenomenal. I’m currently 16 weeks with another baby girl and seeing a female OB this time and absolutely love her and her care. If I have to be induced, the confidence I have with her is a big stress off my shoulders. If you don’t feel confident with your doctor you definitely should switch. Best of luck with your pregnancy journey Katie! I’m just a few weeks behind you! ❤️
Girl you do and say what you want it's your business what you want to share 😊❤😊
Im guessing just to guess September 22nd. Whew! Lol. Itll arrive when it arrives. God Bless yall. Love watching ❤
I was induced with all three of my boys and I never had any problems. I never went into labor on my own and with my last two I had high blood pressure so they wanted to induce me. It is nice to be prepared especially when you have other kids. I had a girl doctor with my first two and a guy doctor with my last. I was a little worried at first too but I honestly think I liked him better than my girl doctor. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy ❤
Katie we love you and the Lord is with you and this beautiful baby EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY 🙏🏼💕
I was induced and it was good knowing when it was happening and had a pretty good labour as I too had kids at home just do what you think is right for you ok and enjoy the bonding time you have with baby x
you will share when u are ready.....we get it!!!! I hope all goes well for you!
I have been watching since I found out I was pregnant at 15 in 2018, now I am almost 22 with 3 beautiful kids. I love you guys and will continue to watch until you decide to put the camera away for good! Go at your own pace and don't feel pressured by any one. God Bless your family and can't wait for next vid. Love from Ohio!
My induction was great!! Labour was 14 hours and his heart rate dropped but they just kept repositioning me. I pushed for about 30 minutes and he was out with help from the vacuum!! Beautiful 7lbs7oz baby boy!! Hes now 26 years old and gave me my first grandson!!
My friends daughter was permanently brain damaged by the 'vacuum' suction the doctor used to pull her out. She settled a multi-million dollar lawsuit and lifetime medical care and support. It wasn't enough for the lifelong damage it caused. That was 40 years ago, I hope they don't use that method anymore.
@@brendad940 omg!! I'm so very sorry to hear that!! I know it's very dangerous and I don't think they use it unless it's absolutely necessary.
With my second we didnt know the gender it wasnt easy not finding out but it made labour so much better of an experience it made it easier.
Also it is so beautiful going into labor on your own!! With my first I got induced & with my second I went into labor on my own 🥰
I also have pots so it didn’t change the pain levels or anything
Love watching your little family!
I had 2 different OBGYNs for both of my baby’s and they were both male. They were both so amazing, so kind and respectful and knowledgeable. They never made me feel like they were trying to mansplain to me and they made me feel uncomfortable. So that’s my experience! ❤ do what makes you most comfortable! Also as someone who had an emergency c section with my first, they did a really good job at making it not scary and making it a positive experience! Only one other person I know who was induced ended up needing a C-section. Everyone one else I have met has had vaginal births!
A due date is just an estimate of when the baby comes! I totally get your privacy with Ben, the girls and then family & friends. I plan to keep my last pregnancy more private! I’ve always share and I don’t even have a platform. That would be so overwhelming. You are allowed grace and respect as a human being and a newly postpartum mom! 💕 I’m excited for your family and this baby 👶🏼
I have a male doctor and I honestly love it. I feel like he actually listens to my concerns without being like “that’s pregnancy”. He’s also older so I know he has seen a lot and im not any different from anyone else. he’s so kind and makes me and my husband feel very comfortable!!
You do it on your time! It's gonna be amazing and being the last you may have, please savor it as long as you want! My kids are now almost 30 and 27! And oh boy did time fly fast!!!! Today we just made it to the 1st trimester of our very 1st grand baby! We are so excited!!!! so I feel you, just do for your beautiful family first post here last lol. My ob was a male dr and he jokingly wanted to take off with our daughter because he had all boys! With our son he was, I've got 4 and he used to play with sara on all the visits with her brothers appts. You just need to click with him maybe (your dr)!!!
Hi Katie, I have a 2 year old boy and he was born a week early by induction. I was nervous about that process because I like you, had only heard negative experiences about them. I had a male doctor start my induction by putting gel on my cervix to help soften and dilate it. My boy experienced the same thing as Addy with having his heartrate keep dropping. However, they think that was because each contraction was clamping on his cord somehow because that was the only time that it would happen. My doctor said that I needed to push him out or we were going to have to have a csection, but I was determined not to do that, so I pushed with all my might and he came out. I had a quick labour and it took me 3 pushes to get him out. I agree that it was the perfect scenario to have a date and time to be going into the hospital as it reduces the amount of nervousness and stress involved with the experience. I think if I was having another baby that I would have another induction if it was safe to do so.
i have had a male obgyn since i started seeing one, and he is absolutely amazing! i very very much enjoy him. he was there through both of my girls & my miscarriage between them. plus when i was induced, i preferred all of the male obgyn vs the females! they were more gentle doing things (checking me, doing certain things with my induction, more caring, etc). i would give him a chance and let your opinion form on having a male vs female.
my obgyn has also done both of my csections!
also when i was checked or them doing anything at all around that area by my obgyn or any of them in the hospital, there is always a female nurse in there!
I followed my public school,just did it all in home school. So i got the books and programs from school and weekly while i was out dropped off their work. We also joined 3 groups and did field trips and learning centers in our town
I had an induction with my 2nd baby for the basic reason of wanting the control of the day and my own doctor etc, and had a great experience! My labor was less than 12 hours, got my epidural when I wanted and was comfortable. We just basically relaxed until I delivered
LOL where my dog pees the grass is so fluffy and green.
I don't understand why people want to pressure you into revealing any info!! As someone who enjoys watching your family videos, it's all good, tell us whatever you want to share with us or not. Thanks for sharing whatever you feel comfortable telling us.😊❤
I had a male doctor and he was so incredible and sweet. He never made me fell awkward or anything, he was so much better than the one female doctor I had seen once.
Also I was induced but I chose to do the foley bulb and it was painful but sped things up so incredibly fast, since I have pots it was best for me to not use pitocin because of how it messes with your blood pressure
This is our 11th year homeschooling. My kiddos are 15 and 13. If you have any questions... I'd be happy to answer them.
❤❤take your time enjoy ur baby ❤❤
Would love any homeschool info, advice etc
I had a male doctor for both my kids and he was amazing so comforting very relaxed which made me very relaxed just let my body do it’s thing and I didn’t tear at all
I had a male doctor for my three children and he was great! I had an induction for the first 2 because my water broke early and contractions didn't start. My third was "natural" and I enjoyed being able to move around more easily. But everyone's body and experiences are individual. I do think that if it's possible to allow your body to go into labor naturally- hormonally and physically it is more ready. I can understand why you are torn between waiting for things to happen when they happen, or being able to plan the timing so you can be prepared and have child care all set up. Can you plan an induction date that isn't too far ahead of your natural due date and be as prepared as possible if baby comes earlier than expected? (Have stuff for the girls already packed and ready to go just like you get your hospital bag ready well ahead, just in case?)
A male gyno is what I had with all 3 of my babies! It was just fine. You get to know them, and it really didn't matter to me at all! Also induced with my first 2, it all went great! Had my third water breaking at home day he was due! Lol
I highly recommend Iuniversity prep! I did it in middle school and hs and it was incredible! But they do all grades k-12!!
My OB was a man. He delivered both my kids (both C-sections & 16yrs apart) - a great doctor!
I had an induction with my first son in Westminster co it was horrible it stressed me and my sons body out and almost ended in C-section but didn’t thankfully 🙏🏼with my second I started labor naturally and had him vaginally and it was the best experience I will never do induction again 100% ! I’m pregnant wit huh my 3rd so I’m hoping all goes well. I’m only 2 ish weeks behind you with my first girl so I’m excited for us both! Praying for a healthy birth and baby for us both
Have you thought about utilizing clover or a clover mix instead of traditional grass? Once established it’s more durable to pets and needs less water 💦
I've had 3 inductions that all went very well. My 1st I wanted to be induced because I was overdue, 2nd it was medically necessary, 3rd I needed to be induced because my babysitter was going out of town so it just worked with having other kids like you were talking about. With my 1st and 3rd I seen male obs they were both just as good as the woman I seen with my second if not better and made me feel super comfortable.
My OB was a male and I will actually be going back to him for my next pregnancy because he was absolutely amazing. I also had to have an induction due to preeclampsia at 37+6, my induction went amazing. I was in early labor for 16 hours and active labor for about 5 hours and he came out in 1 single push and he was my first baby! I had an amazing experience with my male doctor and my induction and I was also a person absolutely terrified of having to have an emergency c-section but thankfully everything went amazing.
My daughter had three inductions due to issues, bp, and she had good experiences with all. Good luck
Katie it's your and Bens Baby... do what you and Ben wants and don't let people stress you out that you have to do it their way! ❤
Of course we are excited to hear all the news but it's your choice when...🎉❤ God bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had a male doctor deliver 3 of my kids so male doctors are just as good as female doctors. And as far as you homeschooling the kids shouldn’t you put them into public school so they can make friends. If you homeschool them every year they will be stuck at home and not making friends which might be something you regret down the road that you didn’t send the kids to school. And as they get older they might decide they want to go to school.
I have the best male OBGYN but you have to do what makes you comfortable!
omg you can get these “dog rocks” to put in sunny’s water bowl to avoid lawn burns! they have them at petco!
katie i loveee your shirt !! where did you get it from??
I was induced with my first baby, and it was such a good experience hospital wise! Also, I had a male dr for both my pregnancies, and i actually liked him so much better than the female one I saw when he was out
Ben look up the dog porch potty. They have a bunch of different ones but you can put it in the corner of your yard like you said and they actually make cute ones so its not a eyesore.
I only had a male doctor, and it was great. Also, my first baby was induced, and it just made the contractions harder.
The baby thing makes sense!!
I had male OB deliver my first baby, which is a daughter. My Doctor was very welcoming. And to me, he seemed very calm as he help me deliver my child. Overall, it was a good experience with a Male OB.☺️
For my second I agreed on an induction that I didn’t want and my baby still came on his own time and we had to get everything taken care of during contractions. So even if you pick induction have a back up plan!!!
Enjoy every minute of this pregnancy and the anticipation of whether it's a boy or a girl!!! Seriously it's your baby 💗💗💗
So I've had 3 babies. 1st and 3rd induction. 3rd my induction was done by a male. The balloon. And he was fine super nice. At delivery I had female midwives. And my child delivered via induction took it fine and all a okay!
Congratulations again!
I have a male OB right now, he delivered my son last year and then he’ll deliver my baby at the end of the year and honestly I love male OBs I feel like they just are better bc they try to understand.
I'm having my 4th in June. Literally the Dr is only there for the baby to come out. So my concern is always with who my nurses are. I could careless who delivers me unless one of the Drs on the staff had a horrid reputation.
But the nurses are who is with you the most.
i had a induction with my second baby for growth restriction reasons and it went great so smooth i was 38 weeks exactly.
Hope when all the kids are in school that you can take them on field trips across the country to learn about history and science 💛
Katie better one spot than everywhere. You can train them to go in one spot.
My doctor that delivered both of my kids was a male and he was fantastic! I had a different primary doctor with my first pregnancy, but he ended up delivering and I actually switched to him as my primary after that! I was induced with both of my babies at 41 weeks and the second at 39 weeks. I had two wonderful and successful inductions!
Katie, I had the same male Dr. with all 4 of my kids. He delivered mine and all 5 of my sisters. I went to see my Dr.…. I was only 16 weeks along and I saw another Dr. that particular appointment… anyway, I was told my Dr. that I originally had (and who delivered all my other babies and my sisters 5) was retiring! I about lost it. I actually kinda felt betrayed. It’s not like I was his only patient but that’s how I felt. Literally 6 days later my water broke. I was only 17 weeks along. I was flown to Seattle (about 45 minutes south of me) to a level 4 NICU. Do you know that the very next morning my Dr. … the one who was retiring showed up at the Seattle hospital! He explained why he had to retire so abruptly (he had heart problems that forced him) and just sat there and held my hand. I was so scared and didn’t know my or my babies future. He talked to my doctors and then came back and explained to me what it all meant. It meant so much to me. I was able to stay pregnant until 23 weeks and 5 days when my daughter was born. He even came to see me after she was born and after my daughter was able to be held he made another trip to Seattle so I could get my picture with him holding another one of my precious babies so I had all 4 pictures even though he didn’t deliver her. The reason I told you this story is because men doctors can be sensitive if not more sensitive. It meant so much to me and I will be forever grateful. My daughter will be 15 in May and I remember it like yesterday.
I run my grates in my dishwasher and the caps. They turn out beautifully not problem at all.
I have a male gyno and I love him. Hes the best. And I trust him. Definitely worth a try.
All the parts where Katie raked are going to grow lush and green! It's a Mama growing baby thing!
How do you know the homeschool program are accredited? I want to homeschool my kids
There are multiple different things that you can put on your grass to help absorb urine and protect your lawn.
Find a classical conversations group near you!!! It’s amazing. It’s once a week. They cover every school subject minus reading. I’m doing it with my 6 & 4 year old.
They make a dog treat to help nutrlize the dogs urine, it worked great on my lab, can’t wait to see baby!!
I only had 2 children but they were both delivered by my OB who is a man and was wonderful. Loved him
The scrub daddy paste cleaner is non toxic and does a good job for my stove top
I had a scheduled induction and my stubborn baby decided to come on her own. My water broke the day of the induction so maybe you’ll get lucky?
I have had all men deliver my three girls and I saw one male OB and he was decent. I’ve always been induced. But with my last I was only 38 weeks 6 days. Already dilated to a 5cm. I’ve always wanted to go into spontaneous labor 😅I am such a planner and having lots of kids! I have always had a good induction with my three pregnancies. I’m SO scared of a c section and especially emergency.
10/10 recommend a male OB if you’re comfortable with trying it. I had 2 male OBs for both of my deliveries and pregnancies and loved the experience. I felt like because they weren’t so callused about “woman pregnancy pain” they were faster to sympathize and listen as they don’t “really” know. They were both much more gentle than the few visits with a girl were. I never felt uncomfortable and neither did my husband.
I had to go to Labor and delivery triage with my daughter to monitor her because of low fluid the doctor I saw then was male and then when I went to have my daughter a few weeks later I had to have a c-section the doctor was a male then as well. My primary doctor was female but it just didn’t work out for her to be there those days. I have to say the male doctors were GREAT and so respectful ! My experiences were amazing and my recovery from my c-section was so easy ( I know is not always the case but was for me)
I got fake grass to put down in the corner of my yard and put a small white fence around it. It stayed green and you just have to keep up with picking up the poop and watering down the pee.
Both of my kids were delivered by my family dr who is a man and he's great. Never had any problem with him.
I was not induced and the baby heart rate kept dipping so it can happen in any delivery had a male for my first and was the one I liked the most
We did artificial grass in the back and it’s so nice to have it look nice year around. And we have dogs. Game changer
This is exciting! I am so excited that we don't know the gender or the due date. You shouldn't share anything you don't want to. ❤❤❤
I had a male dr for my first and I had a male midwife who was brilliant, I had multiple dr with my second and my dr was on long service and wouldn't be back before I was due but on the day I had him I had who ever was on call which turned out to be a really good female gynaecologist
Why do you have so much gravel in the backyard? Why not all grass? J curious 🤔
Their HOA required it. They had strict rules on the perimeter of the yard and such
I think it’s totally ok to not share specific and just give a general time, like which month.
My parents have turf that comes with a dog and child safe chemical that cancels out the dog urine smell! Would definitely check that out 😊
I didn’t necessarily have an induction but my water broke and I didn’t progress anymore so they gave me Pitocin. Baby was stable most of the time throughout the labor. But that being said, when I went in he was head down face down.. then the doctor realized later on (after starting Pitocin) he flipped around to sunny side up. I’m not sure if the Pitocin is just so unnatural that it freaked him out or what. They told me to keep laboring as is and eventually I stopped progressing because he was stuck… instead of putting me for an emergency C section they had me push for four hours and while I was pushing we lost his heart rate. He was not with us for 2 minutes.. it was the scariest moment of my life! Now all that being said I don’t know how much of that was Pitocin.. natural occurrence.. and or doctors error but because of that series of events and having to have reconstructive surgery because of it I have to have C sections for my future babies. But if I was to be able to have another one “naturally” I would not get Pitocin again personally. That being said my labor was very not the normal and you’ve had three healthy and safe deliveries so you more than likely will be fine! I’m also not saying this to scare you but just to tell you my experience. Whatever decision you make is completely up to you and is what’s best for you and your family.
My opinions on male dr. I had a male dr with both of my pregnancies. He was great but I will say if he is good at what he does don't freak out bc he is a male. Honestly us as pregnant mothers have a closer relationship with the Dr's nurses than the actual dr in my opinion. And also I was Induced with my second and every experience is different. If an induction works best for your family I can almost promise you this one will not be like addie's delivery. This whole pregnancy is different than yours with addie. I wouldn't stress too much about it and just see what will work best for your family. I know you are a planner so for your mental health an induction might help you be more at ease near the end.
Pet stores have this liquid drop u can put into Sunny's water and it kills the acid in her pee and won't leave yellow spots. I have 2 dogs and it works great!!
I had two different male gynos and induced twice. I personally didn’t have a problem with either . It’s really just your preference.
Hi! We sent you an email a few weeks ago! Have you seen it? Looking forward to hearing from you! 💜🥰
I used a male doctor for my two girls and couldn’t see myself using anyone else! I used to not want to use a male at all, but I can’t imagine! I also got induced with both of them and they were pretty good experiences. The process was pretty slow, but both girls were perfect the whole time and labor and delivery went smoothly!
