[@samanthamcnamara7682]

As someone who is adopted, it’s so cool to hear you guys say you want to adopt. You’re able to have natural children! So many people adopt as a Plan B…and for a child to know that they weren’t a last resort but actually planned for is such a blessing.

[@Merbella]

B stands for blessing 💗

I’m able to have children naturally but I want to adopt! I want to give a couple children a family and a home❤️ I want to have two to four kids of my own and adopt two more😊

[@mackennaregoord4738]

I could definitely see Matt being a girl dad. Him buying cute little dresses for her, and doing her hair in pigtails, learning to do different kinds of braids so he can do her hair for school however she wants it, maybe learning makeup when she’s older. The whole shabang 😂😊🥰

They didn't say they got the approval from their doctor; they said they needed to get approval from their doctor which was super busy. So she could be waiting for the approval for an induction until her water breaks.

[@dawnhayes1231]

Mom of 4 here and a bit of advice about breastfeeding. Take it or leave it. I am 💯 for women choosing whichever is best. I have suffered with depression and anxiety all my life and I had postpartum really bad so I chose to bottle feed because lack of sleep is a huge trigger of my D&A and this way my husband was able to help. I guess I am just saying that if you feel you are having any emotions and feel overwhelmed it’s ok to take care of yourself and there is no right or wrong with BF. Can’t wait to meet the little dude! 💙 👦

[@amyt6254]

I agree with you completely, Dawn. Women should do what works for them. For me the hormones produced during breast feeding really helped my clinical depression. That is just what happened to work well for my particular brain. I felt the best I have ever felt during breast feeding. It’s great getting extra sleep worked for your postpartum depression. Every woman is different, and we should have the opportunity to figure out what works best for us.

[@Crismsu11]

I agree! I chose not to breastfeed for that very reason-so that my husband could help out more with night feedings because I feel terrible when I don’t get enough sleep. Even then, it was still rough until we got him to sleep through the night. Boy, that was a day to be celebrated! Haha 😀

[@MattandAbby]

Such great advice!!!

[@heatherpahl6927]

@@MattandAbby Just see an IBCLC in private practice *before* problems get worse, and it'll all be smooth sailing 😊

[@Uhohzwugfszju]

@@heatherpahl6927 it won’t always be smooth sailing. Some women go to all the appointments and do all the tips and tricks and breastfeeding is still extremely difficult or not possible. I can’t tell you how many babies with failure to thrive I’ve taken care of solely because the mother was so afraid of formula and thought breast was the only option, even when it wasn’t working for her. Let’s all set realistic expectations for moms.

[@armadillodog0794]

I’m so excited to see little dude! 😁🥳You two are going to be the best parents! You’re so kind, and I’m positive you will teach little dude to be just as kind and respectful as you are. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful journeys with all of us!

Abby, thank you so much for your transparency about your body image during pregnancy. I’m 16 weeks pregnant, and this has been a struggle for me already. It’s just a huge relief to know I’m not alone. ♥️ You two are so sweet and you’re going to be fantastic parents!

[@charissemillet1450]

Watching your pregnancy content has made me feel so grateful...grateful that you, baby, and hubby are happy and healthy. But also grateful that I had such an easy pregnancy with my daughter. I literally had a partial day of "morning sickness" early on, and smooth sailing through birth. The only time I felt discomfort was a few days before I gave birth. I was on the couch, watching TV with my husband, and I suddenly got an intense pain in my lower pelvis. Tears streamed down my face as I looked at him and said "It hurts" A couple days later, we welcomed our beautiful daughter into the world. Love you guys! Looking forward to whatever baby content you're comfortable sharing with us 😊👼👨‍👩‍👧

Hey guys, I’m a birth doula here, and I just wanted to hop on a say, I have seen SO many beautiful home births! The midwives that attend are all very knowledgeable and trained. They bring so much equipment and are ready for emergencies! They can do anything except a c-section. I chose a home birth bc I’d seen the different between stark sterile hospitals and being at home and trusting your body to deliver, (of course with a midwife there to be safe!) and I wouldn’t have it any other way!! Not trying to be negative at all! But there is so much judgement out there about home birth, so I wanted to share a little about it with you guys!😘😘 love y’all so much!!

Girl, this is so so so relatable. I had my first baby last September and my second is due this September. RIGHT when I was getting adjusted to my new post baby body, I found out I was pregnant with baby #2. As happy as I was to be pregnant again (I’m a weirdo who loves being pregnant) I was pretty bummed to feel like all of the weight I lost and all of the comfort that I finally had in my new skin would be changed again due to another pregnancy. But I will gladly sacrifice my body for my babies!! They’re such a gift!

I don’t love being pregnant as much as I will love being a mom!🥰 There’s no guilt in not enjoying it.

Q

[@melodyrose2269]

I love being a mom(daughter is two months old now) but I will say that I do miss life before being a mother also😅 being a parent is tough and it’s hard on both parents! I have barely slept for two months and I miss being able to sleep😂 I miss being able to read whenever I want also lol reading helps me relax but with a baby you don’t have that much time anymore. Enjoy the pregnancy because life changes so much after they arrive. So things that you’ve always wanted to do! Go out and enjoy things because I hardly get out anymore and have a good support system also! If you need a break take that break because you are not just a mother you’re a person also! I have to take breaks or else I’ll have a ton of break downs but I love my daughter to pieces and I wouldn’t trade her for the world!

[@acpan1988]

So happy for you! I breastfed my babies(4 of them) but my husband did all of the other night duties. He got up and got the baby all ready for me while I went to the bathroom. He also sat up with me when I needed support. If the baby fussed, he would get up and try to resettle them by burping them, changing the diaper or finding the pacifier, because I am convinced that if the baby smelled me coming they assumed I would feed them. We did add a bottle feeding at 6 months so dad could be involved and give me a break. To this day, he is still the one who responds to the kids in the middle of the night.(our youngest is 14 years old) Best wishes to your family!
