Everything you opened up about should seriously be talked about more. I was shocked with my kids about how hard postpartum and breastfeeding is. Love your rawness and gracefulness. Also every time y’all laugh I can’t help but to laugh. Your joy is contagious.

[@jenaya_laila2442]

You guys really help me look at family and children in the right light. You make me believe in Family and love again. My mother hated having me and always made sure to let me know how horrible it is to have children. Thank you for showing me a another side to it...💗

[@tmalloy9]

I came back to watch again, because this is one of my faves. But I’d also like to say, after having four, that each pregnancy matches the child inside. Just as Stella is sweet and calm, so was her pregnancy. Ditto the energy Ozzie has and all the directions she goes in each day. I noticed this on the third one. They are who they are from tininess.

[@smallfootprint2961]

So glad you're feeling better and things are getting back to 'normal' for you. I only had 2... many years ago, but I remember it all, and there were complications on top of the regular discomforts. Thanks for bringing reality to the birth, and post partum periods. Nice that Tanner wants to be involved, and is able to bring his experience to the discussion. So important.

OMG!!! You're the first ever to say that you were pregnant for 10 months instead of 9. Everyone that I have ever talked to, or just talking, people keeps saying yeah...you're only pregnant for 9 months. So thank you for saying that. CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!! Yes Ozzy, that means you 2. CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby. Ozzy, what do you think about your baby sister? I wish that I could breastfeed my kids when they were babies. But I couldn't. I tried breastfeeding with my first child, but I was getting burns almost a third degrees burn. Not kidding. I was holding ice packs on them so that they would cool down and not getting blisters, but I did. Also, thank you for talking about what you and Tanner went through with the pregnancy and birth. I bet you guys helped a lot of people. Thanks again and CONGRATULATIONS Everyone!!!

Calendar months are nine for pregnancy, Lunar months are 10. Both are correct.

I had my next kid at 18. I had a totally different mind set through the pregnancy and labor. I decided I was going to have her with a calm soul. Just 8 hours of labor, 2 pushes and she popped right out!! I love y'all so much😘❤️

One thing people rarely talk about in pregnancy is how amazing pregnant sex is! Yep, and after birth, the pain is ongoing: repairs, hemorrhoids, sore nipples, after pains. Tylenol really helps when hemorrhoids act up, and helps with after pains and nipples. Just take as little as possible.

First births are usually hard because you don’t know what to expect! My experience was hard went in past due date on Sunday for help and didn’t have him till Thursday at 3:00 for a c-section.. Had five epidural try’s one finally worked after tears and anxiety and it was horrible experience I didn’t try again till six years later and a girl then eleven months later a boy! They were so easy and I had the best nurses and doctors! I prayed constantly and it relieved my anxiety so much! Love you guys me and my husband waited till marriage too!

Hi, one question I was hopping get asked you, was, how Ozzy, is dealing with a new baby sharing with mom and dad's attention? I saw when you bring Stella first in the house, how exited Ozzy looked holding/kissing her little baby sister but would like to know doesn't she feel a bit jealous her sister at all? I know you guys give her all the attention in the world but kids sometimes are kids and feel overwhelming the new addition to the family... Ozzy is a dream child, I enjoy watching her and please include her and ask her questions what she feels about Stella and so on...Thank you for sharing!!!

Don't feel bad if you have to stop breastfeeding at all Lo, I also had really bad mastitis, Mt nipples felt like they were on fire. The pain was incredible. I felt so awful stopping, but after a month of trying and bawling my eyes out every feed, I had no choice and it wasn't good for the baby to continue. And I had a tonne of milk, so I donated it to the bub ward at the hospital. At least there were a lot of grateful mothers I could help out instead, my milk was put to good use. Anyway guys, I agree the pushing is the easiest part and contracting during feeding really bad and unexpected. Take care of you all, Danielle from Australia.

[@latessaallison1228]

My last son was 32hrs of labor with no epidural. And I agree with you 1000% pushing is relief. Your body knows when to push and when the Dr says don't and your contracting and trying to hold the baby in fighting your natural body signs that's pain. Also with all 3 of mine I never got milk and wasn't able to breastfeed. Never had the soreness or.anything. so kinda sad kinda happy thing lol

I'm on baby 5 right now. Due in just a couple of weeks. I think all the hurt your body feels up to labor isn't nearly as bad as actual labor. I can tell you right now, I am in more pain right now sitting on a soft chair than I am pushing out a tiny human.

[@sstacyss]

My daughter woke me up through the night until she was a year old. At first it was every two hours and then a couple times through the night. I was so exhausted as a mom and it’s why I didn’t have more with her dad. He never helped me and it makes me sad she has no siblings. I left him when she was 3 and life moves quick but very thankful for my built in best friend for life.

Congratulations on both of your beautiful girls! My husband has been saying he wants a boy since we had my daughter but he has recently told me he would really love to have another girl.
