Shout out to all the dads that are doing it alone as well - for any of the reasons you mentioned! 💙

[@Nicolelelagreen]

YESSS! Amen to that!

[@elizabethunger9190]

I have a wonderful husband that is an amazing father but he works 50+ hrs a week and commutes 3-4 hrs a day to work. He also works 6-7 days a week so I’m parenting alone most of the time. He’s gone a month straight working with no days off before. I’m also pregnant with our second so it’s been a challenge. But I still feel blessed to have such a loving, hard working husband and father for our babies.

[@jasminefaraj8979]

Ohhh nothing compares to the feeling when daddy is finally home. Praise the Lord for his safe travels

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Haha yes!!!

I was about to be a first time mom this year, and I was so excited..so I started following your channel. Then I lost my baby just last week (I was almost 7 weeks). Now this video just popped up and I'm losing it. I love your videos BTW and I wish you nothing but the best!

[@sumstoner]

Everything is going to be okay. I'm so sorry for what your going through right now but nothing is your fault. Your so strong and your going to get through this too.

I love how you let him help you. I have an 11 yr old and I wish I would have done this with her. Cause she doesn’t care too much about cooking. I am 30 weeks pregnant and I definitely plan to let him be involved at this age. Anyhoo I love your videos. You are great. Thank you for making them.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

It’s not too late to start! Def great to get him used to it before baby comes because it’ll come in handy for sure!

[@Oneblessedhome]

I have a 1 month old baby boy and a toddler . I am a stay at home mama and my husband works full time and is starting his own business with soccer coaching. He is out of the home a lot or if he is here he is working in the office. So I have a lot of respect for single mothers as well 💕🥰

[@Nicolelelagreen]

You have your hands full!! I’m sure you’re doing amazing and praying for strength on the hard days!

[@cvskult]

Just found your channel. Will have a 21 month old and a newborn come august. Appreciate you sharing.

[@justineolson8044]

your little moment with jace made me tear up 🥺 makes me think i need to also really enjoy the moments with my son before he’s all grown!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Awww 🥰

[@paigealexandriax]

Oh my goodness, Jace is such a cool little toddler haha those last few minutes as awaiting for his daddy to get home and his excitement hearing the door unlock is so cute. Reminds me of my toddler. Also, LAUGHING OUT LOUD at Jace crying for mommy immediately. It was Richie’s face and your “BOY”, for me. So relatable 😂🤎

[@SRODNY]

Ugh, I love you. Thank you for that intro, I needed to hear that. ❤

[@amandavivero5865]

Oh my gosh I totally teared up when you said there will come a time when you won't be able to play airplane ride like that with him again! It's so true. Sometimes I have to snap myself back into reality and savor all these beautiful moments. My oldest will be turning 5 this year and she's already becoming a sassy teenager, lol. I became a full time SAHM in 2021 when I became pregnant with my 3rd baby and it definitely has been a challenge. My husband also works out of town and is only present with us on the weekend but I am so blessed because he is 100% hands on, always has been. I definitely identify myself as a single mom for 5 days out of the week and I cannot imagine what it would be like if I didn't have my partner in this. KUDOS TO ALL YOU MAMAS WHO DO IT ON YOUR OWN! You are resilient!✨🤍

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Hey mama! Thanks for sharing as I know a lot of moms have a similar situation. You totally have your hands full which makes it hard to be in the moment a lot of times. It actually takes intentionality to remind yourself daily. God bless you and your beautiful family!!

[@KrystenStrunck]

I love your videos. Im currently 21 weeks pregnant and when baby is born my son will be 2 and a half. Your videos are so helpful as far as ideas and just seeing someone else go through the same. 😊

You got this! So glad I can help!

[@alairvega7684]

My husband is very hands on when he’s home, but our youngest is not even 2 weeks old and my son is 19 months and his grandmother died and he had to go thr funeral so I was home alone with the kids and he’s been working a lot starting his own business. Needless to say I’m EXHAUSTED with everything going on plus newborn life but so thankful to have a lot of support

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Aww mama sounds like a LOT! I’m sure you’re doing your best and praying for extra strength over you in this tough season!!

[@rachelnagtegaal1790]

I’m not a single mom but I feel like it often since my husband is a new farmer/business owner so I definitely resonate with this !

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Yes! So difficult for business owners! Praying he gets to a successful point where he’s able to be home more and to help 🧡

Married to a missionary here so I totally get it. My husband is gone for at least a weekend once a month. It’s a new thing for us, he was previously a nurse, and it’s been so hard adjusting especially with having 3 under 3 and no family close.

Wow what a sacrifice! And 3 under 3, can’t even imagine. Praying for protection over your husband and strength over you day to day!

I’m a SAHM with a 2 month old and an 18 month old. we’re slowly getting into a routine while my husband is at work. I haven’t found a bath routine yet because it’s tough finding time between my newborn who’s cluster feeding and my toddler who’s in a growth spurt and also having a regression

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Oh mama you’re going through it all at once! I don’t blame you for having a hard time with baths. Sometimes I just bathe baby girl during the day while Jace is napping because there’s no other time I can get to it 🤪

[@henri7120]

Literally thank god you posted, I audibly said YESSSSSS

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Lol love it!

[@abs9593]

My daughter is 11 weeks and my son is 20 months. I am struggling SO hard to establish any routine because I feel like neither babies cooperate. My son is very high energy and very busy, so I have to just baby wear my daughter and try my best to keep up with my son while also keeping the home. I woke up with anxiety today over just having to make it through the day because yesterday was so hard. I know it’s just a season though

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Awww mama sounds so hard!! Praying for this season to pass quickly and for strength everyday!

It’s interesting to see your routine but as you say it’s not always realistic and that’s good that you mention this. We’re all doing our best & our babies are so different too. I have 1 son coming up to 2yrs but when he was a newborn no way would he be happy without wriggling his way out of the bouncer 😂😅 well done for doing this all, you are hawt mama 👍🏻🙃

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Haha thank you!!

I am a 24 year old mom to an almost 3 year old and almost 7 month old daughter. My boyfriend works overnight and sleeps most of the day. He'll put the baby to sleep for me so thats nice. But it's definitely hard.

[@RaisingRosas]

Love your videos as usual! I have a 6 week old and a 2.5 year old. Naps have all bern contact naps, and my toddler doesn't nap anymore..Sooo it's so difficult to put my newborn to sleep without my toddler constantly waking him up

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Omg toddler doesn’t nap anymore 😬 I think Jace is reaching that point soon and I’m so nervous. Praying for strength over you!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Do you mind sharing where the children’s museum is? I live in the Chicago land area and always needs ideas for outings with my daughter!

[@thelimelife5418]

Hey girl (: I’m from Chicago also and have a 2 year old , where is that museum ?

[@bayleygardner1280]

Question as a soon to be first time mom- Is it actually necessary to have a really dark room for babies to nap in during the day? The curtains I have in the nursery and in our bedroom are not blackout and each room is quite bright. Love your content btw!!

[@ceciliamuniz8936]

No, as a matter of fact just live life normally during the day don’t stress about the lighting because then baby will become a light sleeper and from my experience things need to get done during the day and you don’t always want to tiptoe around baby. Baby will be used to normal day time activities during their nap time to the point where you don’t have to stress about trying to keep it quiet. Just rock baby to sleep as you would, play some white noise or something else, take a nap or get things done, and be stress free. So if someone happens to knock on your door or ring the bell it wouldn’t bother baby. Hopefully this reached you in time.

[@ceciliamuniz8936]

This also helps if you plan on having a second in the future as then you wouldn’t stress out about your firstborn being too loud for the baby.

[@RehnellBlackett]

Hi Nicole, when you did this video how old was your toddler and newborn? We are expecting our second in two months, our first is 11 months atm lol. Thanks for the video.

[@evegem8978]

How do you make it work to give attention to your toddler while also having to attend full time to your new born. (Breastfeeding full time) I’m missing my toddler and I know she’s missing me aswell as now I have to divide my time in attending my newborn. I feel like my 2 yo is having more melt downs lately.

[@NatasaMontu87]

My husband is a mechanic in the navy and is gone for about three to four months ,then comes home for two months and off he goes again.I have got a 5-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl.. Thank God for my parents,or else I'd be a crazy person 😱 I mostly miss him at nights when i stay up trying to put my daughter back to sleep (what is happening at the age of two and they get so difficult to sleep through the night?)and I could use dad's help so that i can get some rest..🥺🥺

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Thankful for your service! And so happy to hear you at least have your parents to help! But yes I’d imagine you miss him a ton. Praying it gets easier soon 🧡

You shouldn't leave a 4 month old in carseat by herself.. Carseats are angled perfectly on a stroller and car but not ok the floor. On the floor the baby can stop breathing by the angle and this happened to my 7 month old and thankfully we were there take him out and it was so scary.
