Life Update // Where I've Been, Baby Sleep Regression, Losses, Health Issues, & More | Jessica Elle

[@ranchwifelife4041]

Please tell Chaz that we are praying for him and his family, and we are so sorry for his loss (and yours! I can’t imagine losing my father in law). I started getting anxiety after my second baby. I was just doing too much already, then threw another baby in the mix and didn’t slow down on any of my priorities. It became overwhelming. Glad you are taking all of the right steps to feel better and making your family your top priority! You are one of my favorite you tubers and I am glad that you are back!

[@kathrynpowell2430]

Hi Jess, lovely to see you again. I suspect, like me, you are a perfectionist. My new mantra is to be ‘perfectly imperfect’. Striving for perfection can be very damaging on so many levels. Be kind to yourself. I am so sorry you are struggling at the moment and pray that your health issues resolve. Much love to Chas. Nothing can ever compare to the grief of losing a loved one. Take the time you need. We’ll still be here... xxx

[@sallysweetman4854]

So great to see you back again, life is tough with Covid and two babies, I'm glad to hear you're getting support to manage all the things, I've been there and it's hard to accept but once you do you won't look back! Well done! Sending lots of positive thoughts to you and your family!

[@lauracampion6781]

Good to see you back! Your advice about rough seasons are spot on. Those seasons come to teach us something, although we might not see it at the time. Praying for you and your family. ❤️

[@abbeymariegeorge9613]

I will definitely be praying for you Jess! You are such an inspiring person and you're always so positive! I'm going through some hard things too, but I know things will get better soon. I am in school to become a teacher also. I got my bachelor's degree in early childhood education last year and am currently working on my master's degree in special education. I will be graduating this year which I am excited about! Know that you and your family are definitely in my prayers! You've got this, you're strong and things will get better! And I really love your videos!💕

[@juanitasanchez7]

I understand, you have to do what is best for you and your family. I'm sorry for your loss, I will be praying for you and your family. God bless you!

[@mariewhite9299]

So glad to see you back! I’m sorry about your FIL, that is difficult alone without all you’ve had going on. I’m happy to hear you take a breath and admit, it’s okay to not have everything together. I see videos sometimes and they stress me out that I’m not good enough as a mom. We can’t do it all and shouldn’t! I’ll be praying for good health your way. Stay strong mama.💕

[@brigittebosshardt]

Love hearing your experiences. We’re putting our son in part time daycare and you don’t hear enough about it and the benefits!

[@laurabaerg8095]

Oh Jess, that is so much to deal with. You and your family will be in my prayers. Thank you for feeling safe enough to share with us. Please keep us posted on your test results as well as how Jace is doing. Sending my love, hugs, and prayers your way! ❤️

[@gracefullyliving8678]

I’m so sorry you have been going through a rough patch and you are so right when it rains it pours. It’s so great that you took a step back and really took care of you and your family needs because that’s most important. So glad your back and keeping you in my thoughts. ☺️

[@djsgurl1230]

So wonderful to see your beautiful face! So sorry about all your struggles and the loss of your father in law. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

[@JL-lo2hh]

Oh honey I am so sorry that you guys have had a rough start to the year! Bless your heart. I am praying for your family! As for the thyroid issue... I have 2 family members that have had those and they are both fine! I'm also praying for your husbands job search! That is so stressful. Take care of yourself my dear!

[@brandeellamb]

I don’t know how this happened but I feel like it was meant to be I found your channel. I was about to go to bed but opened KZbin and your toddler sensory play video was suggested and I have 13 month old so I was excited to check it out and stayed up to watch. Afterwards I was curious about your channel so I came to see what kind of videos you have and watched this first even though I know nothing about you to be updated on. I have had thyroid issues since I was 13 and at 25 I ended up being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It was terrifying at first but I was in good hands and after a simple surgery and going on thyroid medication everything has been perfect for 9 years now! If you want to reach out to someone who has been through thyroid issues and can give you some peace of mind, please feel free to reach out! I also live in Florida and can recommend a great endocrinologist if you want a second opinion if your in the same area by some even crazier chance.

[@thankmel8tr201]

Lol the internet keeps track of your data. That's how you came across her video. Lol

[@babykaay7725]

awe mama 💖💖💖💖 ive been praying & thinking about you guys so much!! you are seen & heard, you have encouraged me to go get my thyroid checked. i have had hypothyroidism my whole life but i have been having all the symptoms you’ve been having too, and my mom died in December too. 😭 i’m right there with you. i wish so much wellness on you guys & healing

[@desireediaz5331]

I’m so sorry you’ve been going through so much. You and your family comes first, so please focus on that. We’ll be here for you when you return. Prayers and love going your way.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mckenziehayden6682]

I felt the same way when putting my daughter in day care but I have had the same experience, it has been such a blessing for both her and me! She adores her day care and learns so much 😍

[@mckenziehayden6682]

Also totally agree about feeling stressed when the house gets out of hand 😢

[@chelseamarie5567]

Praying for your family! You are a rockstar. Please keep us updated on your health! 💕

[@lilyalvarado9756]

Praying for you! I had postpartum depression and anxiety and felt so fatigued and unmotivated all the time, it was the worst! I’m so glad you don’t have that and am praying your thyroid issues get better ❤️ you’re doing great mama! Hang in there!

[@Lupesanchez12]

Glad to have you back. Missed your videos. Hope you and your family recovery from any hardships. I am deeply sorry for your loss. ❤️😢

[@teresaqiao5071]

Hi Jess, I watched your videos during pregnancy and learned a lot! Really like your video. Please do take care of yourself, will pray for you and your family.

[@carrieweinstock2734]

Praying for you and your family and hoping for good news with your health issues. You are juggling so much now. God will see you through this!

[@LifeByDevyn]

So very sorry to hear what you and your family has been going through this year. Sending prayers your way! So glad to see your face again on here 💖

[@lindsaybauer6295]

Hi Jess, I have missed your videos!! Especially since I enjoyed being 3wks behind you in pregnancy and know that my daughter and Jace are so close in age, I have wondered how you have been doing. I will be praying for you about your nodules on your thyroid, that is really scary and I can't imagine how you must feel. Condolences on your father-in-law's passing, that is such a hard time too. Mine passed away shortly after we got married 5y ago and it was really rough. You have certainly been snowballed with everything piling on top of you, but you are right, the most important thing is to step back and look after yourself first. Hugs💕

[@jurgitamataciunaite2437]

You made a good decision to take a break. Prayers for your family 🙏

[@laurenhenderson8003]

So happy to see you back on KZbin. It sounds like you've had a load on your plate and you absolutely did the right thing taking a step back. I suffer severe anxiety and moderate depression so can totally relate to some of the things you touched on. I just wanted to say though that on rough days I actually watch some of your videos because your sunny personality and attitude to life definitely gives me a bit of motivation to get things done. Hope you feel more like yourself soon and praying your thyroid issues are resolved soon too xx

[@jennifernoble3271]

love you! since the classroom diva days ❤️ glad you’re back! praying for you

I also just have to say, you look as beautiful as ever!!! Love your channel and look forward to seeing more of you and your lovely family in the future. We’ll always be here waiting for you ❤️

[@sarapnina]

OMG Jess, you were the first person that i followed on youtube. I was pregnant and wanted to learn something. But you were always so fun and bubbly that i stuck around! Yesterday my baby turned 1. I cannot believe that so much time went by. I have missed your videos and i am so sorry for the things that has been happening to you. I hope you keep sharing and i hope to see the videos that you filmed on the last months, even though you dont have anymore "2 under 2" because i want to catch up. I wish you and Chazz and Eliana and baby Jace the best and I hope you stick around 🥰

[@blackriflehomestead]

It’s so good to see you back here! You totally deserved a break and I get needing to step back from something. You have been through a lot! I feel like I was in survival mode for several months last year with postpartum mental health. Still dealing with stuff now even being pregnant again so this was a good reminder that it’s okay to take a break when I need it. 💗💗

[@katlynakers2216]

So glad to hear from you! I’m sorry you’ve been having such a rough year. Praying for you and your family! 💕💕

[@corrinathompson5039]

We have similar situations and personalities with two under two and wanting our house clean and everything perfect. I have type A personality as well (past teachers in us). We’re due in a week with our second and I’m so nervous for this season. I also have thyroid issues. Hope you get better soon 💗 One thing that is helping or will be helpful when baby girl comes next week is I now have a house cleaner cause I have cleaning OCD and hoping this helps my anxiety with that.

[@patriciaguerra2008]

I am sorry to hear about Chaz dad. Sorry for your loss. My husband lost his dad too 4 months ago. I dont know much about thyroid but will keep you and your family in my prayers.

[@malissac7966]

I had similar symptoms that you are experiencing. I had nodules on my thyroid, they were cancerous. My entire thyroid was removed and the surrounding area was treated. Although it was a scary experience, it was treatable and I’ve been in remission for 12 years😀

[@Kpachm]

Oh I am so sorry to hear that you have so many stressful things going on!! ❤️ ❤️ I have missed your videos so much.

[@hopecrump8738]

I for one would love to see the older videos you filmed but haven’t posted yet, I’m going to have two under two this summer and could use some motivation/inspiration! Hope you’re doing well, thinking of your family💜

[@RAE.ofSunshine]

Thanks for being open about your thyroid issues. I turned 30 recently and suffer from chronic fatigue. We've also been unsuccessful TTC for two years so my PCP suggested getting blood work for thyroid. She said everything is good but I asked for a referral to a specialist for a second opinion. I think my level was like .22

[@amandajs21]

Hi Jessica! This year is also been way worse for my family. Praying for your family and Chaz with the loss of his dad.

Take a KZbin sabbatical and your return will be an inspirational story like all your other amazing content!! You are very loved!! ❤️

[@nicholewalker8592]

How are you and your family?? I hope you are doing well. Miss your videos.

[@treyjoyner7768]

Jessica, I've missed you shooting and posting more of your videos. You finally got back onto KZbin. I like millennial mommies just like you. I totally forgot Elliana's 2nd birthday which was about 1.5 months ago. I totally forgot your baby son's name is Jace. I wanna see your future vlog about Elliana's 2nd birthday.
