Laura, you are 14 short days post-op from a major abdominal surgery. (RN here.) You just spent nine months growing an entire, beautiful human! You are probably sleep deprived. Only having minor word finding difficulty, and making potentially short answers a bit longer, is demonstration of how wonderfully you are truly doing. Plus, you are working and making videos!! I am amazed by you two!! Thanks for another wonderful video to take our minds off of lockdowns and stress and too many ill patients. Take care and keep healing and resting when you can. The cobwebs will keep, as they say. LOL!!

Thank you for being a nurse, and for all you've done during this pandemic. I have several nurse friends so I know it's been tough for you all! You are blessings ❤️❤️

[@malliemargaret2895]

Jezi - Thank you for your work as a nurse. My Mom was a nurse for 30 years, so I know a bit of the hard things. I also heard so many people tell me what a wonderful nurse she was. I can tell you are skilled, caring and compassionate. You also know a great gardener, and person, when you see one. (Laura is always amazing, but especially now. I had a C-section and I know I wouldn't be posting a video after two weeks!) I hope you will do some self care. Please know you are appreciated!

Russell trying to complete for cuddling is too sweet.

[@traciesoliday2746]

So Benjamin adjusted to his new sister, but brother Russell is definitely fighting for attention 😂 They will end up the best of friends

[@YSLRD]

My cats were always obsessed with the babies. They tolerated everything even after the kids were mobile. The second birthday is about the time the cats started discipline.

[@traciesoliday2746]

When I had my youngest, I had 3 kitties. My female cat had no intrest, but my 3 Male cats were obsessed with him. My older make more so. We would find him always wanting to snuggle next to the baby. He passed away when my son was 2. After he passed my other Male cat became super protective over my son. He always had to have an eye on him. When he would be outside and my son would toddle off away from me, Henry would run to cut my son off or stop him from going to far. My son is almost 9 and the cat still follows him everywhere. It's such an amazing bond.

[@jeanbrewer576]

Benjamin reminds me so much of my grandson. He loved trains so much that he would play for hours lining up his Thomas the trains while watching the Thomas the train shows. I would tease him that watching Thomas is like watching paint dry. He would get mad and say NOT paint dry lol. He’s 9 now and watching Benjamin brings back those good memories.

I finally gave up shooing him away from her - he would sit on the arm of the couch and lick the top of her head - it would put her instantly asleep and he seemed to be really happy to help take care of her!

She is adorable! As a safety tip, when she gets older and starting to squirm, make sure you remove her headband when taking a nap . The head band can slip down and cover her nose. Please do not be offended, I have heard of babies being smothered by headbands with big bows.

You are correct I seen a lady in the store this happen to her baby the headband slip off her baby's head and was over the baby's nose she was not aware I seen the baby moving I let her know she just kept saying thank you so much for seeing this.I have learned alot from other parents.

Our century home is a Montgomery Ward catalog house that was shipped by train. During our home renovation, we learned that the house has double sheathing. They built houses to last back then! I think it's fun to look at old house plans, too, especially the old Victorians. Baby Samantha Grace is adorable! She looks like much older than she is. Benjamin was so cute wanting to help his Mama with the video. I bet he could help you sign off: "We'll see you in the next one." How cute would that be!

Not sure if you can grow them there, appears to be a northeastern tree- but I love the leaves in all seasons and I can picture a big swing off one of it's branches! Look at your baby girl, her perfect lil' face is the SWEETEST!

I get excited when I can get my husband to give his opinion on which bulbs to order. I’d love to see him plant a few containers:)

[@JeanTOM-qb5dm]

One plant per pot is a great way to try out a new plant that you've never grown before. Or sometimes I buy a 1 gal shrub on clearance, pop it into a 12-14" container with Biotone and good soil for a year or two to give it a really great new start. I have some lovely azaleas, dwarf spruce and boxwood planters on my deck that started out this way. A great way to allow a $3-$5 clearance plant to shine anew!

[@katie_lundberg]

Postpartum nurse here! Staples are almost never used now, internal dissolvable stitches are almost always used. Hospitals never really want a patient to drive themselves home for liability reasons.

Laura, I have learned so much from you! As an aside, we moved to the Boise area from Southern California 6 years ago, after 46 years of gardening there, so it’s like learning to garden all over. We’re loving Idaho and enjoying the garden challenge. Thankfully I found you a few weeks before Christmas. All of your efforts on record are the best Christmas present ever, a master gardening class, and my spirits are lifted! For anyone reading this a year later, and because you mentioned fungus gnats in this video, I just started using ‘Sundew’ carnivorous plants to catch the gnats in a small potted plant area in the house. It’s amazing how the two very small/young plants “munch” the gnats. I’ve been using them to guard my 6 Phalaenopsis orchids and a few other plants. It keeps down having to spray. I’m dying to find a standing pitcher plant (they are so cool), also carnivorous, but haven’t been able to put my hands on a big one, yet. I would bet Benjamin would be fascinated. Hopefully this will help someone a year later, Jan, 2022! Samantha Grace has surely grown and I hope you all have/had a grand time celebrating her 1st Birthday!
