Ugh the constant rotating wheel of tidying never ever ends! I swear the moment something is clean, my toddler touches it and we are back to square 1 😂

[@karbear26]

Love the color of the cabinets!! I get nauseous and cold when I’m super tired! Lemon cheesecake sounds yummy!

[@emilyblossom2769]

His big beautiful eyes are ADORABLE. So cute

[@rebekah3483]

His smiles are so precious! I'm so happy for you and Oryn! He's absolutely amazing! 😊❤

[@rebekah3483]

I too, get nauseous when I'm tired! Most don't understand this, but I can 100% relate!

[@brilliantbutblue]

Me too!!

[@karbear26]

I definitely can relate to this!

[@1Cosmic_Squid1]

Oh my god, my people! Seriously though, no one relates when I tell them but I sincerely get sick to my stomach if I don’t sleep enough/woken up too soon.

[@madtingz2288]

I feel like this is a common thing? No?

[@brionyhall4250]

Watched this while sitting with my “one day” box, full of baby clothes and books I had from my toddler years. I’ve got IVF early next year (5 years failed trying). Vlogs like this just help put me in that happy place, I can’t explain it

[@naomi5495]

Such a lucky baby; can tell he is so loved. Recently read a study that said than people are double as likely to suffer depression if ferritin (iron stores) are under 50 (over 12 used to be considered normal so it might not be mentioned if blood tests find “low normal” ferritin) and my mood seems to exactly follow my ferritin status so I’m convinced this is not considered enough.

Long time watcher - probably about 10 years! And I’ve got a 7 month old. Love watching these videos of you and Oryn! I also struggle to get enough iron in my little one. I’ve found that, in addition to meat, adding lentils to recipes helps a bit! Making soup? Add lentils. Making purée? Add some lentils. Making rice? Add some lentils! Love and support from Canada. ❤

[@meganrausch8396]

Smoothies are great too, it's how I get veggies in my son. I blend a ton of spinach with broccoli, banana, milk and/or yogurt

[@callunya]

Love the kitchen remodel! The copper handles look fabulous with the blue and the counters look so much better! So exciting.

[@gravic48]

Feel so privileged that you share some of your family life with us. Thank you x

[@yumyum215]

I love the kitchen update! Its so pretty and bright

[@nikncon1]

What a handsome boy!! You are such a good mom.🥰🇨🇦🥰

[@delphinium5555]

Beautiful to see such an attentive Mummy. All credit to her.

[@kalaniblake8699]

He looks so much like you, it's so cute to see a mini-me!

[@justathumb]

awww Oryn is such a sweetie! he's your little twin! i remember having a SIGNIFICANT dip in mental health when i was tapering off breastfeeding - right around 8 months actually. can definitely say once i got my period back and breastfeeding was completely over, my hormones were in a much better place and i felt much more stable. i think you almost have a bit of an oxytocin withdrawal when they start weaning. thanks for sharing him with us! 💙

[@hx1487]

You know, sometimes I'm not even interested in what you are saying, but listening to you talking is so relaxing that I leave the video on while I'm doing something else

[@mashupmind2011]

Love your videos im not a mum but have followed since precious stars days. Well done on solo motherhood and oryn is soo handsome. Love your videos

[@rebekah3483]

The kitchen looks great! I love the colors! Question: If you just got new counter tops how will the new breakfast bar counter top be? Are you going to have to have that part done AGAIN?

[@alexandrarocha4519]

You do such a great job taking care of you and Oryn! I love watching these videos! Much love ❤

[@bethanycognion7704]

I think it's some ptsd from the depression you had in pregnancy. I have moments like that a lot. When something happens that triggers a memory or situation for me I will feel off for a day or 2. If it's a really bad trigger it can throw me off track for a week sometimes. I hope everything continues up and up for you and Ory!

[@amymcclelland310]

I think post natal supplements are important for good mental health. Maybe try omega 3, zinc, magnesium, B6 to maintain good brain health xx

[@dog_vanlife]

You're child is adorable, and I happy for you!

[@aidenalamo6262]

You are a very good mum!

[@_caram_]

Your Kitchen cabinets look amazing! 💙💙💙 Oryn is a cutie pie with Beautiful eyes. 😍

[@irismeeow]

wow the kitchen looks so nice

[@thecookingandcleaningmom5878]

sometimes baby blues will show up around month 6 postpartum, but can show up later as well. Just a suggestion.

[@leifyla]

With the cloth nappies in Australia could someone buy them and send them to you? I would be happy to help with that if it could work

[@macbump]

24:01 make sure your iron levels are ok!

[@rebekah3483]

I hope this ok to ask... what kind of work calls do you have? Is it like sponsorship things or management team calls...? I just have NO IDEA about this line of work so I was curious. 😊

[@katarinagrbin5580]

Oryn is the cutest little baby boy l have ever seen 🥰

[@claudiajade624]

Yup my bubba only likes fruit/sweet pouches too 😋

[@genie121]

Awww watched her tampon video days - alwahs knew she'd be an excellent mum xxxxx

[@macbump]

For foods, just wait until he’s a bit more than 15 mos, and he hits a slum of only eating chicken nuggets and fries, or pasta, or burgers. Yup almost all kids hit that kind of slum… 😅😅

[@panda-rama2646]

Has his eyes always turned in, or is it just him looking at the camera? Just curious, my 2 older kids did that and by 2 they both had glasses. Just something I thought I'd point out. Love your videos

[@laurakinsella1692]

I wouldn't be able to cope with the sparkle it would be too exciting ADHD

[@Salbertsson]

Do you have any tips or tricks to getting a baby to sleep through the night? My daughter is almost a year old and still wakes up every 3-4 hours 😮‍💨

[@Lola-mk5qu]

What do you do for work? c

[@tuttamarie48]

You were talking a bit about foods and I know you at least used to be vegan or vegetarian. So I am wondering: what was your thought process behind feeding Oryn meat and not raising him vegetarian?

[@DubbelCC1]

❤

[@laurakinsella1692]

I love your dark blue top

[@CharlottesWeb27]

I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, but as someone who is Autistic/ADHD I can't help wondering if you are also Autistic? It would explain the blips in your mental health too. Maybe just something to look into to see if it resonates at all with you? Oryn is getting so big and so mobile, you're doing great with him!

[@jezabell]

I thought the same

[@CarlieMaria28]

Get Oryn tested too if you get tested. It can run in the family.

[@preciousstarsvlogs]

So when I was pregnant my psychiatrist did actually do a referral for this as she thought it was possible I was on the spectrum, but it would be very mild if it was. I was sent a form specifically for girls but even as I was filling it out I was thinking "this doesn't sound like me", and sure enough I didn't even hit the criteria to have a full assessment. The mental health stuff only really hit me in pregnancy and a little after, so I think that's more likely baby related than anything else.

Ffs stop trying to diagnosis people

[@CharlottesWeb27]

@@rebeccaa2097 No one was trying to diagnose anyone, which is why I said "Maybe just something to look into to see if it resonates at all with you?"
