Long time no see...

Hi All!
I'm back! Well kind of... 😆.
I am starting to create content again, but easing back into it slowly which I'm sure you can all understand. I have a list of videos I want to film longer than my arm so rest assured there is plenty of stuff to come!

It’s so cool that the letters in Oryn all appear in Bryony as well.

[@Caitlin312]

Very cool😊

[@charliep123]

Good job spotting that, I never did!

[@Cernoise]

Yeah, when she was explaining how she chose the name, I totally expected her to mention that. 😊

[@natashalee7607]

You should be so proud of yourself. A mortgage, your own business, and raising a baby as a single mother. You are an inspiration ❤

[@Merrybethable]

The way you explained your attachment to the children who you have cared for was really beautiful. It really shows your heart and your passion for making the lives you touched better for them and preparing them to connect to the parents who will love them for the future. I have watched your story for many years and seeing you do life in your own way has been an inspiration.

[@TitianTopsyTurvy]

It's so lovely to see you again. Oryn is absolutely the most beautiful baby and you've given him such a precious name! Best of all, you look so well Bryony. I must admit I was a little worried for you because you'd had such rough times during your pregnancy. You looking so obviously well, happy and relaxed (even when you're missing your little one) is truly wonderful! Congratulations to you and Oryn's Grandparents. I'm so happy you're feeling up to filming some videos for us again and excited to hear all about your continuing journey. ❤

[@middleoftheroadmama]

Breastfeeding, hands down is THE hardest thing I've done in my life. But I'm happy I pressed through and got to nurse all 3 of my babies. You are one strong Mama!

[@GeorginasJourney]

I loved how you answered the foster question as I often see people imply that biological & adopted children are loved & belong, but foster children aren’t, so this was lovely to hear from you 💗

[@jgr_lilli_]

Welcome back Bryony! I have been eagerly looking for updates on your Instagram. After the difficult pregnancy you've had, it's great to hear that you're enjoying your time with Oryn! He looks so so cute! I look forward to seeing what direction you will take this channel.

[@heathermanly7188]

Welcome back. Thanks for sharing a pic of little Oryn. For your audience who feel like we have been on a journey with you it is lovely to see one pic of the little one.

[@Orlak3lly]

She does on Instagram too

[@talithabrooke6460]

She's very active on Instagram - pictures and videos posted on her feed and story frequently x

[@1Cosmic_Squid1]

Congratulations on your little one! I'm so happy you're both doing well, he's gorgeous and I'm just so excited for you.

[@samiatbalogun4541]

Parenting vs fostering.... explained beautifully!!

[@SunflowerBudgeting]

Congratulations! I think the maternity leave that you have is amazing. Here in the US, the most that women can get is 12 weeks, 6 of those weeks paid. I have been currently putting away money every payday to prepare for my second baby because while 6 of those weeks will be covered, I feel safer having extra money especially because the hospital bill will be a few grand at least. I wish I could easily stay home for many months with the baby and I also wish my husband could take time off work as well but he will just be using PTO (Paid Time Off) that he earned until he has to go back. He may only be able to take a week off.

[@painterscastle]

I'm a Foster carer most have been teens youngest was 2. I've fallen in love with everyone. People say oh I couldn't Foster because I couldn't let the go almost as though I'm cold or hard letting them go. But it's heartbreaking. We need to love them they need us to love them how else will they learn to love and trust people.

[@leeking6898]

Bryony you look absolutley glowing! So glad to see you doing so well, welcome to the world Oryn!

[@elecktrastorm9916]

Congratulations on the new one. You look very happy and relaxed.

[@sylviaonthego9549]

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.

[@Anna133199]

Beautiful name! Beautiful baby! Congrats. So glad to know you're doing well.

[@lizziebeggimbo]

Awww he's so cute. Congratulations

[@HayleySulfridge]

Omg i feel you on the “your OWN child” question. My husband and i practically raised our godson, and people used to say that to us. Wait until you have your own, etc. I still loved him just as much and attached to my own in the same way!

[@patole1648]

Welcome back Briony! You look absolutely gorgeous, happy and full of energy, which is so great to see after such a tough pregnancy you’ve had. All the best in your maternity journey, the boy is absolutely lovely and I love the name! ❤ I am myself in the last day of 37th week and I am so eager to meet my baby girl already 🥰

[@Prehensile777]

He is adorable!! congrats

[@kpwxx]

Welcome back!! Lovely to see your videos again, looking forward to seeing how you continue to evolve your channel with new ideas too! So glad you and Oryn are doing well.

[@nkee5092]

Welcome back!! Yew! So pleased for you! I love the name - my daughter is 6 months and named Onyx, so I’m enjoying the O factor too!

[@Esztrkllr7]

It's so nice to have you back, Bryony! I literally just thought about you yesterday wandering when you'll come back. Congrats on your adorable baby boy! 😊💙

[@SCJ7100]

[@alexleese2349]

welcome back Briony . congratulations on having Oryn

[@said9088]

So great to see you! Love

[@Kuyjac258]

Welcome back(ish) Bree. Been keeping up with updates on Instagram but glad to see you here again too. Amazing video, as always

[@butterbean5544]

Oh my gosh, I’ve literally been watching your video as today thinking I hope you come back soon and here you are!! I hope you both are well 🙂

[@catepilarr]

I feel its a perfectly ok question, the one about how different it is to love your own child vs. a foster child. Its different in different ways for people and its ok to be curious. Also perhaps people who dont have the experience of looking after children at all just cant imagine what is it like to love the children you look after, so its natural they have this question about something totally unknown to them.

[@catepilarr]

I have a similar experience in looking after other people's children and looking after a child in the family. While I did think I loved the former as my own, the level of having a child in the family is a completely different level of love for me.And its not even my own child.

[@JAZZYGIRL1988W]

Welcome back!!

[@Rebecca-zp4gm]

It’s ok. Enjoy the time with him and cuddles too. Glad to hear about your mental health improving.

[@coressaclark6354]

Congratulations

[@AuntieEm1]

What a handsome little guy! Congratulations!

[@alexandrarocha4519]

I’m so excited ur back! I’m so glad that you and Oryn are happy and healthy! You look amazing! ❤

[@toya.asmr__]

Awww congrats on your beautiful baby💗

[@raigenhuss7030]

We are about the same age and have very different lives, but you opened my mind to fostering back when you first started. I can’t live alone yet, I have a roommate but once my career stabilizes, fostering is my plan. Thank you for always putting out amazing content

[@susi2502]

Such a lovely name❤

[@aWildSkitty]

Congratz and welcome back! I'm extremely fussy with boys names, I can count on 1 hand if that how many I genuinely like but I gotta say, Oryn is a name I actually like the sound of! A rarity! Good name choice! X

[@The3GMom]

Side laying BF is the bomb! Didn’t get it figured out until babe #2, but it was a lifesaver!

[@catherinecruickshank7450]

It's nice to see you back ❤

[@whitec1981]

I am so incredibly proud of you ❤

[@tashstephens]

YAy I'm glad ur back congrats on the baby🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lolipopPrincess]

You amaze me!! ❤ Your such an amazing mother!!

[@karinseaman4060]

I'm so glad that you're back (kind of) 😂 and that it's going well! I'm also a single mom by choice and my boy is 10.5 months.

[@jgr_lilli_]

Dark hair/skin and nordic heritage aren't contradictory! Scandinavia has an ethnic minority called the Sami, which live in the north of the country and traditionally live off reindeer farming. They mostly have dark hair and eyes and olive skin! Same with the indigenous inhabitants of Greenland, who are genetically linked to the Inuit of and other northern people. Sadly these indigenous cultures were repressed for a long time and they are still often overlooked when it comes to the general idea of what "Nordic" looks like.

[@ajrwilde14]

The Sami aren't Nordic they're a different group.

[@jgr_lilli_]

If you get around to doing it, I would love some cloth diaper content! Funnily enough your cloth diaper videos from years ago (like 2013-ish?) were what got me hooked on them!

[@luc.tazmin.95]

Ahhh didn't expect to see you any time soon ❤ been loving watching you on Instagram story's xx

[@irenerucker1333]

🥹🥰 precious congrats...good lucky on ur new journey ❣️

[@lydiakies9053]

Welcome back! Enjoy your time with Oryn.

[@jodib5570]

Welcome Back!!😀

[@AngelsLieToKeepCtrl]

Welcome back :)

[@sarahdawn8114]

Congrats! So glad motherhood has been better mentally than pregnancy!

[@ptkake08]

Darn! We were almost bday twinsies Oryn, just one day off! Congrats Bryony!

[@TheGLOSSette]

I had a pretty easy pregnancy after first 12 weeks. Labour was crazy and also first 2-3 months post portum. It got better as she got older and i think i really started feeling that bond with my daughter when she was 3. She's now 5 and being a mother is amazing.

[@badirishdriving811]

So glad I could help ❤

[@colourfulbethany]

I wondered if you chose Oryn because it looks very similar to Bryony! A sweet connection between your names ❤

[@aprilkavanaugh8937]

Awe, he was born on my birthday!🎉

[@meowing1]

I love your baby boy’s name. My oldest is Onyx, and my youngest is Orion. Both boys

[@amyt6254]

Congratulations! How wonderful! I’m so happy for you!

[@leonidasreviews2912]

Nice to see you back on KZbin

[@Louise-zs9rl]

I also have celtic origins, infact I am more Irish gaelic than English! I was so excited when I you announced your pregnancy, because I just knew you would take to motherhood like a fish to water, and you have. So glad you are back ! 🤩😜

[@Pineapple_pizza64]

All I can think of is Orin from parks and recreation 😂

[@LilySaintSin]

I love him though!

[@clare1971]

Wow what a beautiful boy and you look great

[@CanisLupus1987]

We missed you,and he is absolutely gorgeous

[@thesparklingunicorn8543]

Congratulations 🎊 your son is beautiful

[@BeachCat369]

Congratulations on your beautiful baby ❤ I was wondering if you still use your Spooky2 & if you had any luck with it?

[@leahr2302]

i have watched you since i was a little girl. im 24 now and im so proud of you!

[@MinimumViablePicnic]

Great to see you back! My baby due any say, so I'll be watching your videos during night feeds I guess ❤❤

[@jgr_lilli_]

Congrats! I wish you a smooth delivery and a happy baby!

[@estelanavalenzuela311]

Glad your back your son is so cute

[@LilySaintSin]

Oryn is a beautiful name ❤❤❤

[@karancheetham8057]

❤

[@sam-jq5ol]

What is your primary line of work?

[@tarahmcintyretm]

Awww I remember when I first watched your videos 🥲 it's beeeen a long time lol

[@judyreynolds305]

I see a new level of maturity in you! Your relationship with your son has increased your confidence!

[@daniellenutter811]

I would love you to explain maternity leave when you're self employed a bit more. I am self employed and have no idea about any of this. I thought you couldn't take anything if self-employed and it's partly why I've been putting off starting a family.

[@cathyrodriguez1755]

Nice to see you again, baby it’s beautiful

[@tinasmith7890]

Your son is so cute. I wish all foster parents had the same attitude towards their foster children.

[@ladybird2222]

Congratulations 🎊 Bryony 🎉Lovely name xx

[@chloe--1374]

In France, foster carer are expected to not get too attached to the children for the birth parents not to feel jealous. That's the reason I couldn't be foster in my country...

[@nydiarevuelta562]

How great that the UK gives 9 months for maternity leave. In the US you’re lucky to get 3 months

[@ChronicallyCassidy]

Never realized British way of saying “schedule” is SO different than America

[@honeybear12513]

My baby was born on the same day last year! I may be biased but February 17th is the best day in the world 😂

[@carrisastone6633]

Love the name and spelling. Congrats. My sons name is orrin also. Love that is is unique but a great name he can grow into.

[@luc.tazmin.95]

My son's names Carson which is a Scottish name too! Orin was actually on our name list 🥰 can I ask if you found it hard to choose a name as so many names I would imagine you associate with another child? X

[@shaundraevans7559]

Lol my son's name is Toryn
