keeping myself busy during the hardest month of the year

[@tracymontgomery1266]

Maybe having your mom come visit in May for like a week would help not only distract you but give you that extra support that you could use emotionally as well as with the kids. You two have such a special bond that I so wish I had with my mom. Never think you’re a burden by leaning on her

[@karencummings8242]

March is my difficult month. Forty four years ago I had a stillborn son. It still feels yesterday.

[@kimrothe]

I know what you’re talking about, February is hard for me. I lost my son at 25 weeks gestation 34 years ago. It does get easier as the years go by and isn’t as gut wrenching as the first 5-10 years. Hang in there Rachelle, sending my love and thoughts and prayers your way.

[@RachelleandJustin]

I am so sorry Kim!

[@joyfurnish8412]

Sending prayers

[@kimrothe]

@@RachelleandJustin thank you Rachelle. Like you, it was my first pregnancy, and we were devastated. We were 23 years old, in the Army and stationed in Germany (so very far away from family) and it was a very hard thing to go through. It took me 3 years before I was ready to try again, and I ended up getting pregnant on my son's 3rd birthday. I think he was sending me his handpicked sibling and letting me know everything would be OK. We ended up with 2 daughters and a son, and my son was actually due on his brother's birthday 9 years later (February 16th), but he wasn't born until March 3rd (15 days overdue LOL). They are all adults now, oldest daughter is married (will celebrate 1 year in June), so now I'm just waiting to become a grandma (hopefully in the next year *fingers crossed* ).

November is the month for me !! 🙁70 % subchrionic haematoma , 19 weeks 😢 blood transfusion they gave me the wrong blood

[@debbiekotch6006]

I love that you are so in love with your children. such a loving Mom and Dad!

[@RachelleandJustin]

I adore them!!!!

[@gingerartist]

My daughter was recently stillborn after a long period of infertility. Seeing you surrounded by your babies gives us hope. I hope your pain becomes easier with time ❤

[@perfectpikelet1444]

❤I always wondered if you used the Swan blanket you made for Brynn for the other kids? You were so proud of that. 💞 You can add to the outside edge of the quilts yearly so when they leave home it is a full size. You can get their photos printed on material and also add the to it. I cannot believe how fast time has flown and how big the kids are getting. Such gorgeous individual little people 🥰

[@tabithamorris6160]

I agree momma, April and October are the hardest months because I gave birth to leon in April and lost him in October. And this October would be 6 years without him. I've followed you since your pregnancy with brynn and seeing you gracefully grow your family gives me hope one day I'll have a rainbow baby

[@nuriaborges4754]

Crafting is super therapeutic and relaxing to the mind I’m just the same Crafting and gardening are my happy place . Anything that brings you some sort of enjoyment while life is challenging is great and healthy ❤

[@letashatyler5038]

Keep your head up this month you got this brynn would be so proud of the wonderful mom you have become I hope you get to bring all the kids to the cemetery this year and keep with your tradition hopefully when your mom comes to visit you all can go that’s gonna be an emotional vlog as the month of may one’s always are but as a huge fan of your family I’m still praying for your continued healing and wishing you nothing but love an support during this time ❤ happy birthday brynn ❤

[@c.hristina.j]

Ive been here since your transfer before Brynn, and i just wanted to say; the transformation you have gone through over these years has been amazing to watch. It is easy to see how great of a mother you are, and it just makes my heart so full to be able to be apart of yalls lives even if its just through these videos. ❤ wishing you lots of comfort during this month, and just know you are super loved 🥰

[@melissadesimone559]

Could you do a dedicated video of how to make a blanket? I’d love to make one for my little boy, but I have no idea what I’m doing lol

[@brenna.husnik]

Thinking about you guys this month and sending love. 🫶🏻 I know may is a tough month for you. Buuuut, excited for you to have your mom in town & to go camping, that should be full of wonderful memories. Also, can’t wait to see how the boys’ quilts turn out! You’re so creative Rachelle! I admire that. ❤️❤️❤️

[@RachelleandJustin]

Yes!! I can't wait for June!!

[@amandabee2246]

Omg yes the like cloud of sadness that followed you when anniversaries are coming up it unreal. You think your "okay" but then that hits you and it's like it just happened.

[@rachellevandekolk5385]

Would love a video on how to make the quilt!

[@JayeGause]

Sending you and your family hugs and prayers this month. An idea for the boys quilts batting... Hobbs brand has a fusible batting, you won't need as many pins to put it together and it's pretty easy to quilt; you could likely get a baby crib sized roll to do both of them. You could get it online and I think even Amazon has it. Can't wait to see they boys quilts put together.

[@stephwilliams7654]

I lost my son in June of 2012. So June is my hard mouth. Sending you hugs

[@Pamela-el9yv]

May is also the hardest month for me. My sister and my mom both passed away in May!!! I feel alot of anxiety in this month so yes distractions are a Godsend!! Blessings to your lovely family!!

[@lianeobrien9339]

Your mom sounds incredible!! We love mom! 💜💜💜

[@LittlestPea15]

December is hard for me. I havent had any children but i lost my Grandad 5 years ago, dec 13. It was very hard and I was only 9 so i didnt really understand it. Loss is hard but im glad you guys are doing ok.

[@VinVlogger]

We love you Rachelle!! ❤

[@jeanneivey9284]

My children loved theirs. My daughters was stolen when she was in her 3rd year of college, very sad time. My son still has his. Very worn. My daughter is 44 son is 40 end of May. No matter how small they get the kids will love them.

[@Cathy1223]

My daughter’s preemie little girl passed away May 7th last year after being here on earth 4 months! She was in NICU the entire time as doctors felt she needed to come at 28 weeks! She had a rare congenital disorder! She was beautiful with a big personality! A smile to even brighten the day of her nurses! She was a little stinker from the beginning! I miss her and her mommy and daddy are really missing her! The reminders of last year are popping up! The emotions are tough! We are praying for my daughter to be blessed with a healthy pregnancy and baby to stay here on earth with us! I think of you often when I think of Autumn our precious one in heaven!

[@ATW45667]

Been following since you were pregnant with Brynn, I never comment, but I just want you to know your emotions are valid, and we're here for you guys. I have gone through my grief of losing my best friend since and just want you to know that she is remembered!

[@puglover7985]

I kinda know your feeling. Havent lost a child. But a sister. I was San only child for 6 almost 7 years. My mom had my sister at week 26. She lived for 30 hours and i became an only child again. December is hard. Especially new years (sister born 29th. Died 30th) even tho this happens in 2000 i still think about it when that time comes around. Miss you sis. (I got a brother in 2002 so not an only child. But he almost died too) he thankfully survived and is now 21. Getting married next year. 🎉😀

[@brittanyking206]

🥰 awww love when your mom is in town! Love your family & videos ❤ What jean shorts are those that you had on in the beginning of the video when talking about the skin care?? So cute!

I’m super behind on videos and just catching up! But I spend 300-400 on groceries per week for my family of 4!! It’s ridiculous and that’s even with getting some things off brand some weeks we don’t have to get the full haul but it’s ridiculously expensive these days for anything!!

Hi Rachel, I love watch your family and I know that you are a Christian. Please do not raise you kids with Pokémon and Witches. Those are for fase gods the prey in to the Christian households Remember the Commandment you shall have no other gods before me. I love you and your family so much, just be careful what you bring into your house.

[@Littleangel_-jp4xb]

Agreed 🎯

[@Libz]

Please stop telling people what to do, especially with their religion. I guarantee you she doesnt want or need your unwarranted opinions.

[@Libz]

"False Gods"?? Says who?? You?? Lmao

[@perfectpikelet1444]

Kids need to use their imagination, the kids do not know what Witches are and Pokemon are animated characters. DO NOT preach to people who may hold different Christian values to you. How the run their house and bring up their kids is not in the dark ages like your beliefs.
