The situation with James sounds exactly like the first months when I brought home my baby girl with my older son. I cried so much and felt so guilty. It turned into neutrality, and eventually an amazing bond. Now she’s 16 months and he is literally obsessed with her. They are best friends and never want to be without each other. It gets better ❤

[@Brittanywithaney]

This this this! It’s just a process! My girls will be best friends forever, I know it ❤

[@lilyw9324]

Amelia is such a cutie!! To anyone out there hoping to be a mama one day I'm praying for y'all and sending so much love ❤

[@Mary0712-q2t]

I needed this... we've been trying for 6 years now. Thank you.

[@Brittanywithaney]

The 1-2 transition gets SOOOOO much easier! I have a 3 and 2 year old and the first 6 months were really tough, but now each other is the first person the other asks for every time they wake up ❤ they’re little best friends and stick up for each other. It’s beautiful.

[@Amanda-mw9su]

Why did your mama’s kiss bring tears to my eyes? 🥹 I hope my daughter and I are always close & I can kiss her on the cheek when she’s all grown up just like I do now as a toddler 💕

[@emilyatwood8467]

I still cannot get over how she is just a carbon copy of James!! So adorable

[@saintamerican6105]

Yes looks like shes holding James lmao i would love if my babies both look alike cuz i love the way my 1st born looks

[@krist1203]

Literally the ONLY KZbin influencer I get a genuine smile when a video is released. Thank you!!

[@rachelcappello9767]

You carry yourself with such beautiful grace, no matter the circumstances, challenging or easy peasy, you always think of others and mention that they may have been in the same situation or not, and that it’s ok. Your grace, faithfulness to the Lord, and humility are such beautiful qualities. God Bless you and your whole family.

Happy Mothers Day! 🩵🩷🫂

[@mariavelazquez7532]

Love that your second pregnancy and postpartum journey was a better experience this time around. I also felt the same way, I think knowing what to expect helped so much vs being a new mom. My oldest son was 4 going on 5 when I had my second son and he was over the moon with his little brother. Now that they are 6 and 20 months they are inseparable!

[@mariahshawanda94]

Aw I miss your videos and your vibe. I just know if i met you, you would be the sweetest! Btw, I was unaware of the book you published!!(clearly im behind and need to catch up)... when i seen it online i ordered it asap, it's so youuu!! ..and it now has a special place on my book shelf❤Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mother’s Day ♥️

[@emily_ambuehl]

I’m about to have my first baby, and have always loved the name James. And seeing your cute little boy just solidified it’s the cutest!💗

[@abigailromero7376]

aww motherhood looks so good on you kristin ! you inspire me to be a mommy one day !

[@roekinn]

My mom said the transition to two was the same as yours. I'm the younger sister to my older brother- 2 years apart. The first day mom and dad brought me home from the hospital....my brother looked at me and said, "send her back!". He then clubbed me over the head when he saw my mom nursing me for the first time and said, "DON'T BITE MOMMY!!" 😬😆 OOF! The boys don't always take too kindly to us little girls coming into the story. They get over it after a while.

[@JessicaNicoleSearcy]

Same story but my brother never got over my existence he’s 30 and I’m 28 and he still wishes he was an only child

[@AshleyAquilina]

Love a video from Kristin!!!

[@fernbeck-cab5388]

I have a little girl who is 3 years old and my baby boy was born March 1st. When you spoke about the transition I couldn’t help but get teary eyed because we went through something similar but just like you said - things are getting better! God bless your family ❤

[@meaganmccullah8882]

You’re doing awesome, Kris

[@chelseatracy5546]

I love this video I also cannot believe how much she looks just like James!

Happy Mother's day to all the moms and moms-to-be 💐❤️ Amelia, to me, looks more like baby Marcus and James used to looks like baby Kristin. ☺️ She's so precious, my heart!!

Heck yeah sleeping so much in the night time!! Life saver!

Yay Amelia! So precious and plump, we love to see it ☺️ it’s so funny / coincidental we named our first born James also and if/ when we have a girl we are going to name her Millie. ❤ Love you Kristin! Glad to see you on KZbin again❤

[@meganhanawalt4397]

My daughter is 10 weeks on Wednesday and her name is Mila Jane! Amelia is so cute! Happy Mothers Day!

[@hisloveiseternal1]

Totally recommend a breastfeeding consultant or doula. That helped my postpartum blues so much ❤

[@TheYoungBaker]

My son had a good transition to having a little sister. But i have many stories of siblings struggling. It is very hard for parents to handle. It will get even better, just wait!

[@jessicasievers3213]

I think it really depends on age and temperament. My 4 year old boy didn’t miss a beat when his baby brother was born but I felt like he could understand what was going on! But all feelings are valid in those little ones, it’s hard going from all the attention to a lot less.

[@jeanettekakareka]

Amelia was breaking the fourth wall when you were talking about how stressful it was with James and his lip tie. 😂😂 I think she was saying "mom... enough breastfeeding talk" 😂 (since you said on "that's the point" that you talk to much about it... idk I'm pregnant so I love to hear it!)

[@marisolmartinez674]

I brought home my baby boy in March and I have a toddler as well. I agree with you that bringing home the new baby was the hardest part, my toddler was not happy about it and I could feel he felt some type of way. I would cry bkus I felt like I betrayed him 😢

[@RAQWILL09]

Your mom is so cute. 🥰

[@Sidtrav2017]

It’s been 7 years since I gave birth, but one thing I’ll NEVER forget was the crazy bleeding after giving birth and having to wear a diaper. I’ll never forget the nurse helping me change my diaper and the moment I stood up I fainted. I never hear moms talk about that after birth 😅

[@annie5593]

James’s twin!! So gorgeous!

She’s the most beautiful baby. So precious. Many blessings to your family. My name is Jane♥️

[@mckennaknapp8040]

I’m pregnant with baby boy #2 and my first son will be turning 3 right when I have this next one. My first is such a mommas boy and is very much an only child. Haha! He sees his cousins all the time that are his age and I do all I can to get him involved in classes or take him to places to be around other kids, but I’m genuinely nervous about what the transition is going to be like. He actually loves looking at babies, but the second I’m holding one, he cries and says “I don’t like that.” Knowing your story and that you’re content with him being a the point where he kinda ignores that she’s around makes me feel a lot better about how I’m projecting the transition to go down. Haha! Who knows, he may surprise me, but Im kinda doubting it. I have two sisters that live by me both pregnant right now and due any minute (dream come true), so I’m hoping having 2 other babies around a few months before his brother shows up at least warms him up to the idea of me holding someone that’s not him. Haha
