Heidi drives herself to the hospital. I love it! 😂

[@dozensofeggs1608]

That’s what I was thinking most of the time the husband drives

[@finleyhill521]

Lol that's literally what I was about to say

[@toomanyboys]

And carried her own bags in!

[@mariadennis5247]

… and she carry her own bags. 😂

[@fivemjs]

That was so me with our third. I got all cute and walked in for my scheduled c-section all calm and crap. With the previous 2 it was hectic. Something about that 3rd…

[@madelynfranklin7076]

After having two babies of my own I can't watch a birth video without crying!! 😭💗 Birth is SO special!! Praise the Lord and thank you guys for sharing!! 💗

[@jessicapederson2006]

The beauty of labor and being laid on mama's chest is the most precious thing ever!! It is the best feeling in the world especially after all the pain!! 🥰

[@Purplepola]

I've been watching a ton of your videos while on maternity leave with my 3-week-old, and they've been giving me a great laugh when all I want to do is cry. We're working through some breastfeeding issues and near-constant fussiness, but this video helped bring me back to that feeling of pure innocence when you meet your new baby for the first time. I know I'm late to the party, but congratulations on this little bundle and thank you for your honest yet entertaining glimpse into parenthood.

[@Penny-ts5ec]

Hope all is going fine, take care of you a well!

[@bww6798]

So precious, and Heidi you looked absolutely beautiful through the whole process! Congratulations!

[@Saxonna]

Beautiful work, Heidi! Also, that pic of dad proudly smiling with Otto had me tearing up a bit. 💕

[@masuganut2082]

I’m crying. Takes me back. Thank you for allowing us a peek into something so personal ❤️

[@freebygrace1]

I am a midwife and I just loved your birth story. I went out with my husband in his 1971 International Harvester Scout to induce labor. It didn't work, but nevermind that. When you said, it's a 1992. What could go wrong? Lost it! But as I watched you work through the early mundane parts of a "planned" induction, I could just almost guess where it was going. When she said, "I feel pressure everywhere," I was hoping her provider would make it in time, as I have sped for so many fast babies in my career. I was so proud of/for her! Watching women give birth without meds so beautifully when that wasn't the plan... amazing. She is one strong mama for sure. It's been a couple weeks since I caught my most recent babe, but this video made me miss it. Congrats, Heidi. You rocked that birth! So happy and proud for you!

[@peterpan05]

Now that you have comments back- CONGRATS ON THE NEW BABY!! Love your videos!

[@DenisJava]

Awesome! He came quickly. Similar to my second pregnancy. I was induced, and in about 4 hours BAM we had a baby boy! Otto has a lot of hair! He's adorable.

[@PLarsen-ox6qo]

I had a natural birth with twins. This video brought tears to my eyes because of the pain and exhaustion in Heidi's eyes but the sweetness of snuggling the baby. It's amazing how the baby heals the Mom and the Mom heals the baby!!!

[@rebekahvanslooten6004]

Thank you both so much for sharing this. I'm only 22 weeks, but I'm crying watching this and feeling so excited to meet my daughter.

[@barbbrammer1156]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the love and respect you have for your wife!

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

I watched this before two years ago, and just watched again. It still brings tears to my eyes. Thanks so much for sharing, Heidi and Taylor. Y'all are amazing - and so's your nurse! 💖💖💖

[@conniehokanson908]

You two are just too real. THAT is why people love you and want the best for you. I love Otto Oskar. Sounds Scandinavian.

[@clancycreations]

I’m older and have had three kids… I have to admit that I have hospital room envy! This was awesome! 💜 Had an emergency C-section with second and planned one with 3rd due to complications. You rock, Mama and Daddy!

[@lilapeterson]

He's so BEAUTIFUL. AND YOUR FAMILY IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL TOO. CONGRATS.

[@tamikoanderson3076]

Awwwww This is LIFE!!!! Spectacularly BEAUTIFUL 😍. Heidi you are a hero. Families 👪 are the best.

[@Anonymouslyhighlyopinionated]

Yes, I felt this to my core. The pain from baby’s head hitting my cervix then BOOM! Too late for an epidural. You go mama!!!!

[@OlichkaNesterova]

Watching this at 32 weeks I'm so impressed that she did her hair. My arms go numb from brushing my teeth 😳😳😳

[@Penny-ts5ec]

Hope all went well! Blessings

[@ToniRichter11]

I know right! I’m 24 weeks and some days I can’t screw open my water bottle cap. Go Heidi! She’s a champion and so are all pregnant ladies!!!

[@kylennpetersen4407]

I'm 36 and 4 and this pretty much made me cry... I'm so ready. Congrats ❤️

[@sarahruiz6553]

Awww happy for you. Hang in there! Those last weeks are hard! Currently nursing my 3 month old and I still remember haha

[@NfernalMilkshake]

Legit cried seeing Otto with Mommy for the first time. Congratulations!!!

[@BratKatUzar]

Just cried like a baby ♡ this was so wonderful and beautiful!

[@poppytzu5014]

Heidi is so beautiful !! I love your family and you guys make me smile every day ...well...I'm smiling through tears on this one. God Bless you and keep your precious family always.

[@Kenasba]

I literally cried haha 😂 congrats! Heidi is warrior!

[@theedgeofcorrie]

Awe 🥰🥰🥰 I had my son at PVH almost 12 years ago! It looks exactly the same! The delivery rooms were soooo lovely! And the surf & turf meal we got before we left was amazing ! Glad you guys had a great experience as well!!

[@amieparham7657]

I have had one natural unmedicated birth with pitocin and it was no joke! I'm so glad it was a quick labor though! Quick like that is so awesome!

[@neelsnprayer]

That brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful. ❤️Congrats to you both.

[@kclee4538]

I love this video so much! I’m early pregnant with our third and (Dear Lord, the hormones!) I teared up watching Otto on your chest. Three is a scary thought, but there’s nothing like that moment when they put that new baby in your arms.

[@cf-kw5qo]

I delivered my 3 rd born 100 percent natural , he weighed 9 pounds 10 ounces , it was amazing ! But baby number 4 I had an EPIDERAL

[@pammiasmr9068]

Otto is adorable. And I can't stop thinking of those tendies, is the air fryer really that good?

[@beckyburke5433]

T thx k

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Yes air fryers are pretty good at roasting vegetables and crisping all of those frozen goodies like chicken tenders, fries and such.

[@meredithgrubb7027]

U have to get one. I used to have one that could cook at 30 lbs turkey and my dome broke, i was sad.

[@ninasmith3743]

You guys picked THE BEST soundtrack to this video! So emotional & moving! great Job Heidi! Having my first with the epidural and the other two without. I was coaching you on like Go Heidi you got this!! Yeah girl! So proud of ya ❤️ Good luck on the new baby too!! May you have the most beautiful birth ever! I'll be praying for you cutie 😘

[@abbyjoy4785]

I have never seen such a brand new baby! Congratulations! He's so beautiful!🙂

[@ultimatepitviper]

I'm seven and a half months pregnant and when her contractions started my hormones came in and I instantly cried. Hearing his cry is is beautiful.

[@beccaO0906]

Everything was beautiful! My son is 3 now and my daughter is 9-months... This brought on a flood of emotions and (sort of) makes me want another ha. Natural birth for the win! :)

[@amandabowmer88]

That was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story, I cried! He is so precious!

[@Angelica-go5ml]

Congratulations! Heidi should do a video to responds doubts about breastfeeding. Just an idea 💡. Good luck, Beautiful Family! ❤️

[@paulam3988]

My second son was also born at that hospital! The birthing rooms are crazy nice! And MCR in Loveland too. That's where I had my 4th baby. The views of the mountains are incredible from there!

[@jessicapederson2006]

I laughed for most the video and then my eyes filled with tears of happiness- giving birth is soooo painful but most rewarding thing ever. All 4 of mine were inductions and all 4 were no pain meds or epidural. Baby #4 was my longest labor of 3 days from induction time.

[@Pilar475]

I cried 🥺❤️ Congratulations!!

[@Tantejuju65]

Just rewatched this...love you guys!!!

[@lisam8044]

Thanks for sharing and makes me relate sooo much when my 3rd was born i was so exhausted and she says "i have to look at him first" i am amazed at how ypur husband is so caring and even though his body doesnt go through anything he tries

[@KB-rv9yc]

This was so beautiful I cried during the delivery

[@phillipcole7657]

That.was.beautilul you guys. Awesome mom and dad there. You guys are special. Life is an amazing and beautiful thing. Thank you for taking us along.

[@insightinspiration9922]

Wonderful! It's always a miracle, no matter how often you experience it. Already looking forward to doing it all over again.

[@ArtGirlJan]

I am teary. You two are such good parents.

[@tinamench4255]

Congrats on the baby. So cute 😊

[@ashleym3144]

Congrats your baby is beautiful and he will grow up to be a brave strong and alot more.

[@susanwest6601]

One of these videos showed up on my feed. Best videos ever. I am now binge watching. You guys are funniest ever

[@nataliacups6802]

Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy Otto

[@AmbrielSJoy]

This was absolutely perfect! Love your work and this was consummate!💜

[@whitneyelseman7489]

I think you are the most adorable pregnant lady ever!!

[@perrijohnson9627]

Love Otto’s name!!! Good job giving birth naturally!

[@jazlinshai777]

I’m so proud of Heidi I literally cried

[@fu_raha]

My brother-in-law takes his tool box everywhere and fixes things as well 😂😂😂

[@KM-nq7ez]

Is there anything more beautiful in this world than the birth of a child? 🙏♥️🙏

[@tabz83]

I literally wish I was your neighbors & we became best friends. Not in a weird way. Lol I love you both so much

[@bekabarry3159]

Congrats!!!! I just LOVE you guys

[@TheNerdistheWord]

It’s crazy how everybody’s birth stories are so different. I don’t have contractions until right when the baby is ready to come out so we run to the hospital and writhing a few hours, an epidural and a couple minutes of pushing and the baby is out. The contraction pain is the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. Second is kidney infection and kidney stones.

[@laurasmith2958]

You are a trooper. I had labor with my first one 3 days, induction. Didnt work very well.

[@annettetaylor7331]

Gosh! He’s a gorgeous boy!

[@Tiffany-cr9bc]

I am 40 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I just want to meet my baby!

[@melsbiggestcrybb]

Did you have him/her yet?

[@Tiffany-cr9bc]

@@melsbiggestcrybb yes! They finally took him c-section on the 7th!

[@CMBauer]

Congratulations!!!

[@muchadoaboutkovu]

Oh man the part where she’s getting th crazy contractions I feel it man. No epidurals for me for both my kids and I am now on my third pregnancy and I get moments of just anxiety thinking about this. But then her holding her baby made me remember it’s so worth it.

[@koriingram2701]

Love his sense of humor

[@jenb8009]

He's beautiful! Congratulations!

[@jennalynwentz1021]

You guys are gonna be amazing parents

[@wyndideakins5921]

Hi! I love all your children's names. How did you come up with them or decide on them? Thanks.

[@shelleyditommaso]

My daughter is 29 and it seems like just yesterday I gave birth to her. It's such a powerful thing we get to do. ❤❤❤❤

[@rachelknapp7271]

Y’all’s story is amazing!

[@lmoconno7516]

So beautiful, thanks for sharing that part of your life.

[@juvi6787]

What an absolutely wonderful video!! :)

[@sharonjohnson1304]

That was so beautiful!! Great job Mommy!! Well done Daddy!

[@meredithgrubb7027]

This actually made me cry.

[@killerangel4160]

Very sweet video! I tore pretty bad with my first, was stitched up and my body didn’t heal correctly so I had to have another surgery and multiple procedures over the course of 10 months. I was in so much pain I couldn’t even walk the first 4 months after childbirth I was in tears. I’m pregnant with baby #2 I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to do a natural birth again or if I’m gonna have to have a c section from now on. I’m glad your birth went well and baby looks super cute:)

[@karenjohnson5634]

Oh no! That’s terrible! I hope you will have an easier birth this time around!!! ❤

[@akritisrivastava7420]

so cool so handsome baby god blessed to him

[@kleecase]

Her: "Did you bri g your wig?" Hi : "No. Should I have brought my wig?" Me: **loosing my sheet**

[@elizabethbednarcik3311]

So beautiful I’m crying!

[@annalise197]

Maybe it’s not a good idea to have the pregnant woman drive the car… but it’s amazing 😂

[@jonathanhall7903]

I'm 55, married, never had children. I cried.

[@meejoohwang8494]

Congrats! Otto is such a handsome boy ❤️ wait Heidi, what was that blue tube thing you had over your face while you were in labor??

[@jomiddleton4225]

So awesome thank you for sharing

[@Olivia-jy9jf]

Thank you for sharing your babies beautiful birth.💕😇💕🔆💗

[@aholst20]

Haha, I had all three of my babies at that same hospital where you had Otto! I also just saw your packing for the hospital video that mentioned how things were done at the previous hospital--no feeding dad, no food during labor, etc. Wondering how much a great hospital (that even serves you steak and lobster after you have your baby!!) played into baby #4. (I know I was ready to swear off pregnancy forever, but then I didn't mind the hospital experience at all.)

[@phxpndl]

She is such a trooper🤩👌🏻

[@dorothea_walland]

Heidi for president!! i had the contractions like her with my third, too, those are just so evil. for a week... i know how you felt, sister!

[@momono6247]

Oh my! So precious! LOL! Too much!

[@sueinthecity1279]

Congratulations!!! God bless

[@littlelana696]

Omg I can’t believe he actually brought the air fryer 🤣🤣 I thought that was a joke from the hospital packing video

[@joycemaynard2519]

That got real REAL quick!

[@DesireeGauges]

My husband had the worst farts during one of our kids birth. She actually told him he needed beno, he claimed it was sympathy gas 😅

[@koriingram2701]

That’s your message your other two children are cute I would like to see you guys on KZbin more often you guys are funny like to see more

[@littlebopeep4716]

Congratulations!!! What a beautiful little boy!

[@katiegeorgeripia]

After our first my partner keep kissing me and my reaction was. .. Hey hey 6 weeks at least lol... We all laughed so hard

[@evelina6923]

Congrats!! He is SO CUTE

[@karuk72]

Soo cute.. love this video

[@alex_1984_is_here]
