Chelsea, if you brother in going to add some shelves to the current closet, he might want to get the curver at the top of the closet correct. A 3/8" thick plywood or something of that nature should work for the taller vertical legs of the new shelves. To get the correct radius, arch of the railer, he can use upper cabinet where the key hooks are. He can use some cardboard to get the correct and then have a template. Just a thought. Will

SUPER helpful. Thanks for this tip!

Congratulations! This is so exciting! Don’t worry, babies are little and portable!

[@FreeandSimple]

They start out little but if this one is anything like their dad they’ll end up not-so-little!

[@moondancer5115]

Congratulations guys!! Very exciting!💕🙂

[@FreeandSimple]

Thank you! It sure is!!!!!

I got tips! Totally doable. We traveled back and forth for our daughter's first year, starting at 14 weeks. My biggest piece of advice is to just be patient. There will be lots more stopping (at least that was our experience) and it can be frustrating, but changing my expectations helped A TON. Y'all got this!!!!!!

[@FreeandSimple]

WE WANT ALL THE TIPS!!!

@@FreeandSimple Where are you stopping in Michigan? Ann Arbor? It's been far too long, Jim.

@@paulhile89 We'll be in Frankenmuth for pretty much the whole summer. We'll be practically neighbors! And yes, far too long. Let's fix that!

@@FreeandSimple Amazing, amazing. Yes - let's get together. I'm leaving my job to be a full-time writer / stay-at-home dad this April, so we're flexible and excited. Open invitation to come garden with us at our community garden and take anything you need/ want.

[@airstreamvagabond]

So excited for you guys!!! Love the bassinet in the corner idea! I guess you could always consider converting the closet to an open baby room?

[@FreeandSimple]

Ha, maybe. But then where would our clothes go?!?! Naked Airstreamers?!

[@airstreamvagabond]

Free and Simple ..... lol military fold everything! We learned how to fold tiny and it’s given us more space than the standard folding. By changing the way we fold, we were able to dodge being naked airstreamers 🤣

[@FreeandSimple]

@@airstreamvagabond Military fold = Mari Kondo fold? We tend to keep our clothes folded pretty small but really are just running into the frustration of the hanging closet thing being a pain in the ass!

[@rebornsnuzzles2573]

This is the perfect idea! Baby room over closet anyday!

[@FreeandSimple]

Congrats! I know nothing about babies in small spaces, but others on KZbin do.

[@FreeandSimple]

Thanks Joanna! We came from a one bedroom in NYC and people have babies there all the time, so this can’t be that hard, right?! We just don’t get all the amazing takeout options. ;)

My advice co-sleeping. My son is now 18 but he never had a crib. Worked great. He moved into his own bed at like 2.5 years. It made night nursing so much less stressful. Also if you can find a midwife or a doula. I loved my midwives (it was a midwife practice).

[@FreeandSimple]

Thank you! We’re meeting with a midwife in a couple weeks and will be connecting with a doula next!

[@Jessica_Bennett]

Congratulations again and thanks for answering my IG question! :)

[@FreeandSimple]

Thank you! And you’re welcome!!!!

[@WLotus]

Y'all are cuuuuute! I'm looking forwarding to seeing how your adventures evolve with a baby in tow! Also, nice way to close there. LOLOL!!!

[@FreeandSimple]

Thanks Wanda!!!

New to your channel. Congratulations on your new little one!!

[@FreeandSimple]

Thank you! And welcome to our channel!!

[@rebornsnuzzles2573]

Maybe consider drawers instead of shelves.

[@FreeandSimple]

Hmmmm, good idea!

[@rebornsnuzzles2573]

@@FreeandSimple I never can keep shelves straight!

[@wanderingwanda9869]

Congratulations!! Sorry absolutely NO tips regarding baby or children, but since I don’t have children lots and lots of advice on how to raise your child. As many people with no kids often do. :). Congratulations!!

[@FreeandSimple]

Ha, thank you!!!

[@discoveringlockenest8420]

Congratulations! We are expecting our 10th grand child in August! We look forward to your continued adventures but “hold on to your butt” cause you ain’t seen nothing yet! Thanks for sharing! And remember, never, never give a kid in loose diapers a ride on your shoulders! Never!

[@FreeandSimple]

Ha, that is VERY good advice!!!
