Hi guys! This video is 2 days in one video (the second day I show my morning routine!) I hope you enjoy!❤️ Also, I'm so sorry I haven't posted the past month. I wanted to take a small break to just focus on my family and being the best mom I could be, I hope you understand! 💗 Also, the video was filmed a couple weeks ago, William is now fully healed and walking!🙌🏻 and Bennett is doing SO well. I am feeling so happy and so much less anxious and overwhelmed. Thank you all for always being so supportive!

[@danazzimmerman5534]

Completely understand❤️ your boys are precious

[@kathycunningham6677]

Of course! Your children are number 1 and you’ve been thru enough. God bless your family.

[@lucychampigny1944]

We all understand! Family first ,we all are glad you and yours are doing well ,amen .welcome back!🙏🎉🎉

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

Saw this comment after I posted mine. 😀 I'm glad to hear that William is doing so well. Bennett too! ❤️

[@dianabenefiel541]

You are doing a great job!! One day at a time is my best advice.

[@sreec8014]

This reminds me “giving birth is not a big deal, even animals do it, but being a good mom is tough”. You are a good mom. Take care of yourself and may god give you strength.

[@julieforest7033]

You are the true meaning of what a awesome mom looks like ~ 💗

[@LaurenMidgley]

That is so sweet of you to say, Julie!! Thank you!!❤️

[@patriciavogelsperger9645]

You really are amazing. God gave Bennett to you because he knew you would take such good care of him. I hope William heals completely soon and that your life gets a little less stressful......you deserve it. God bless you and your family.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you so much, Patricia! I appreciate it so so much! William is now fully healed and walking, thank God! ❤️🙏🏻 I am hoping we can have just smooth sailing for awhile now!😅

[@mssandybeach1]

You never know what you can do until your babies are involved then Superwoman Momma breaks out.. You are doing an absolutely fantastic job!! Rest when you can... 👶👦🌷

[@judyfarmer2962]

Lauren, I was wondering where you were. You have sweet boys and the baby is precious. You’ve been through a lot but God is good and has blessed you. You are a good mommy.

[@karlavedder3139]

Bless your heart. Prayers for you and your family.

[@Brittany_J]

OMG girl, I don’t know how you’re still standing. All 3 of my children came early. The oldest and youngest were only 5 wks and 2 wks. My middle child was 8 wks early and in the NICU for 11 days. I can’t even imagine what you’ve gone through w both you’re kids especially at the same time. There are many blessings in store for you is all I can say. You are truly the epitome of strength!

[@nicholecenter9909]

This makes my heart happy, just seeing the baby home, he looks like he's doing awesome

[@thestoryofus6840]

Such an amazing mom. You should be very proud of yourself. Your two little boys have a worrier for a mom. God bless you and your family.

[@belindahawj4474]

Found your channel at 4am because I'm 38 weeks prego and couldnt sleep. So glad Bennett is home and William is doing well too. Made it til the end of this vid and still was praying throughout for both your babies full recovery.

[@progressongs4346]

Hi Belinda! We wanted to wish you the best with a successful delivery of your little one (which we assume is happening pretty soon, how exciting!). We also want to share a resource/fun activity with you that we think you and your little one will love: singing along to our nursery rhymes. Our songs aim to teach children about diversity by focusing on different races, cultures, familial makeups, and more. We hope you join us.

[@suzannevigil1963]

Bennett is getting so big, precious little boy. You are an amazing Mom.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you so much Suzanne! I appreciate that so much❤️

[@AshleyMonaghan-1973]

Wow I haven’t seen these older videos. You are super mom! Just amazing how well we’re able to tend to both boys at the same time.

[@aga6w]

It's inspiring to watch how you organised your time with your kids. My son was born in 26 wee and we spent 111 days at NICU. He is on oxygen like Bennett. We are 3 weeks home. I'm looking forward to see more day vlog videos. Maybe it will help me to get our routine finally 😂

[@jessicaparker2938]

So happy to see you doing well with both your boys home. Bennett looks great, glad he's slowly getting off his machines! You are a great mom and so inspiring for all NICU moms! ❤God bless

[@Shimweadely]

May the Lord keep supporting your family and I pray for your baby to be healthy 🙏❤️

[@tracyhicks7933]

Bennett and those smiles! He melts my heart.

[@Megan_Ashley]

Don’t stress about your video content!! I’m just as happy with your vlogs as other content!! Maybe even more so because it’s always relatable lol You’re doing amazing! ❤️❤️

[@neryy.8694]

You are amazing and a trooper for having to go through what your going through now and all and staying optimistic. ❤ I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old and a 1 month old. And this 3rd one is definitely different as far as she rather take my milk from a bottle than nurse 24/7 like her two sisters. So having to keep up with my milk supply and pump amd clean is absolutely exhausting. Thankfully I healed from my first c-section pretty quickly and smoothly. So kuddos to you for all that your doing. I know motherhood is tough but we get through them for our babies. 🥰

[@heweyangel]

Take your time girl! No need to rush into videos, we understand. You are one strong mama!. Your boys are adorable!!! Glad to see you are all doing well.

[@melindabiddy7165]

You are such a superhero in my book! God bless you moma!!

[@patriciacaughey5122]

You should be so proud of yourself. You are doingcan awesome job. I hope Will has a speedy recovery. Your family has been through alot. Prayers to you all.

[@athomewithnika6459]

awww i am overwhelmed with cuteness😍

[@caseybrown1774]

I made it until the end. I have never more proud of anyone as I am of you Lauren. You have been through so much yet you are still as sweet and beautiful as ever.When Bennett smiled my heart leaped he is just so cute.Both boys are such loves!! Remember to try and take some time for yourself each day...❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@green542]

Yes I made it until the end. I am so happy that you are back and you are doing a great job with both boys, Things will get better. God only gives you as much as he thinks you can handle lean into him when times get hard, he is there for you.

[@Missgiuly92]

Hey Lauren, just wanted to tell you how amazing you are with your boys ❤ I am going through the same journey with my little one Margherita, who was born at 28weeks, 4 months of NICU and now at home with oxigen. The preemies are warriors and need Special care 🥰 Sometimes (for me more than sometimes) can be overwelming, but their smile and they little improvements are all worth the hype. Lots of love from a mum that really understands all of this ❤ Ciao from Italy

[@NiNitosix]

I teared up watching you love on Bennett. He's a cutie patootie! So thankful that you are all home and doing well.

[@nitabailey8673]

Hope everything started going good for y’all you have been thou a lot praying for y’all

[@auroreturpin5352]

So happy to see your video up! And so happy you took some time to just be with your family. Having a newborn is already a challenge but with everything that happened I can only imagine how you felt! Thank God, everyone is ok. And Mama you are AMAZING!!! They are so lucky to have you as their mom.

[@oliviasward24]

You are such a great mom, Lauren! I Can’t believe everything you’ve had to go through recently and hope things are starting to look up for you. Looking forward to your patio makeover 😊

[@ashleystewart8931]

Happy to see these updates I literally cried in your labor story the whole time! Bless you and your family mama!!

[@shelby4684]

I definitely cried a lot throughout this video. Seeing your precious baby brought back so many memories of our time in the nicu with our baby. My angel never made it home👼🏻 8 years ago and it feels like just yesterday we had to say goodbye to her. You are such a kind spirited person, your love and care for your babies is everything!! My first video I’ve ever watched of yours and I loved it!! ❤️

[@erikag405]

🥺🥺🥺 im so sorry to hear that. if you dont mind may i know why your angel never made it home? Im pregnant too and im excited but also so scared that something might go wrong 😩 just praying that all goes well with my pregnancy and all moms out there. God bless you and your family

[@shelby4684]

@@erikag405 Thank you for your kind words and congratulations to you!!! We found out at 22 weeks pregnant, she had CDH congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Basically a hole in her diaphragm where her organs went through and went into her chest cavity. Her heart was pushed to the other side and one of her lungs didn’t develop right because of everything in the way that wasn’t supposed to be there. She had surgery to put things back in place and was on an ecmo machine to oxygenate her blood since her lung was so bad. My babies poor little heart couldn’t keep up! It was rough!!! She lived 2 1/2 months. 😭 Nothing I did while pregnant caused this. It just happened and it is way more common than what people know. The best advice I can give you while pregnant is DONT stress!! Your baby will be perfect!! ❤️

[@erikag405]

oh my 🥺 poor angel. Atleast now she’s up there soaring and living happily. You too deserve to live so I hope you’re doing well now. I can’t imagine the pain you and your angel went through. As for me, I’ll try my best to keep the stress level down although sometimes with all the hormones its hard. Stay blessed. God and your angel are watching over your family. ❤️❤️❤️

[@danazzimmerman5534]

Your boys are precious! They are blessed to have such a sweet mama❤️

[@leticiagarcia2526]

Your videos have truly brought so much light and hope to my life. So proud of how strong you have been in this process. My baby has been in NICU for almost 4 months now, she was born at 24 weeks. But watching your journey has helped knowing there are a lot of moms going through similar situations as well. Thank you 🤍

[@LaurenMidgley]

Oh my goodness Leticia, I hope she is able to come home soon! What a little miracle she is! How is she doing?? I’m so glad that my videos bring you joy!❤️ I promise one day the NICU will be a distant memory! I hope she gets to come home soon!🙏🏻❤️

[@wandapagan4124]

You’re amazing and Bennett he is Gorgeous love his smile💕

[@arie6358]

Bennett is adorable!! 🥰😘❤️ Way to go Mama you’re doing amazing!

[@jen8491]

I watched to the end (I always do).The boys are getting so big. I'm glad they are both doing good. You look great.

[@terrinelson6812]

You are precious! And a great mom so keep those sweet boys as your 1st priority. We will all be here when your life returns to a new normal! I love your blogs and videos.

[@marshadietcokea6410]

I get what you mean about missing your boring life. I too have a child with medical needs and it sucks some days!!! You can’t just pick up and go. You have to make sure you have all their special items. It’s very hard. I too miss my old boring life. Much love!!!!

[@donnawilson729]

You definitely have your hands full. I hope things settle down for you and your family. It may be difficult, but don’t forget to take care of you too!!! Sending love and prayers!!!

[@torisearcy2825]

I stumbled across your channel last night and started watching videos! The first one was the video you first filmed after having your baby. I just watched your recent video (this one) and I had a baby boy in December, my little boy is wearing the same exact outfit as your little boy in this video! I literally just started tearing up watching how much progress your little one has made! Continued prayers for your sweet little one! You are one strong Mama! ❤️

[@laurensawyer330]

You are Super Mom! I'm so glad William's leg is healed & that Bennett is doing so well! ❤ You have 2 beautiful boys!

[@kathycunningham6677]

Hi Lauren, You’re a fantastic mom and you’re doing an excellent job. You have 2 beautiful boys who need your extra attention now so us subscribers understand. Love the idea of the storage unit for Williams books etc. looks great where it is. You have my support and will always be there to watch what videos you can post. Take care. My prayers are with you, your husband and your boys. Have a fantastic and blessed day.

[@katies5658]

Serious Mom goals girl. You are such an inspiration! I don't know how you do it. 💙

[@anallanes02]

Loved watching your video with Bennet. I remember those days with my daughter. She was born premature as well, but she weighed 1lb. 14oz. We brought her home with 3lb. 14oz. So tiny and scary. Luckily she did not need a monitor, although I requested one and the doctor said no. Sometimes the leads come off because the baby moves and you will freak. She doesn't need it. She even had heart surgery, but he said no. He is so big and chunky. Adorable. Enjoy the moments. Thank you for sharing these moments. Hugs, Ana

[@jewel8077]

Feed him lots of yummy milk and just watch how fast he grows and develops! My mom and doctor told me with my two that were small and they grew and their brains developed so quickly! Try to keep his butt really dry inside the crease after you use wipes with a towel and keeping him dry will eliminate the rashes completely. God bless you all! So precious! Your amazing!

[@ThisBlessedMess]

I was so happy to see a video from you! I have missed your bubbly personality, but I totally understand you taking a break! Girl, life is nuts for you right now, take all the time you need! You are doing such an awesome job though! Bennett is adorable and William is so handsome. Prayers that things will settle down for you and your cute family! ❤️

[@GrowingUpGantt]

Having a baby during this pandemic is difficult, something that I was not prepared for even after doing it 3 times before. Having a baby during the pandemic and a baby with lots more needs plus a toddler with a broken femur, unheard of girl. You are a super woman! I TRULY admire you. Your level of patience, and determination is just wow 🤩 So if no one has told you lately, you are AMAZING! So glad you did decide to get that cart, it looks like you’re definitely getting good use out of it 😉

Amazon sells these liquid drips calls SweetLeaf Sweet drops. They have different flavors and they’re sweetened with stevia..you could try adding that to your almond milk to slowly replace creamer.
