When my first grand baby was born I was so excited……I literally shopped every day for the perfect going home outfit ….we took 10 different outfits. It was the best

[@kris8863]

Love this video! My husband was just like Travis before our baby was born! He was the youngest, had never been around babies, and was very unsure about how to do things. So I came up with a plan that worked very well for us. The 1st week, he was my "assistant" and stood right by my side to watch and learn ...changing diapers, dressing the baby and swaddling...everything! The 2nd week I was his "assistant". He did great and was a very quick learner. This made it so easy and gave me peace of mind the 1st time I left our son with him alone 😆 he's a pro now for sure and sometimes does things better than I do. Prayers for your little family it's such an exciting time!

[@TravisandKatie1]

So sweet! ❤️

[@margarethicks8833]

As soon as you look in that sweet baby's eyes your whole world changes. Y'all are going to be great and I am keeping prayers going. Can't wait to see that sweet little Angel.

[@AboveAllisLove]

Having family that is there during and after the birth is wonderful. With my first both of our families were together waiting in the waiting room for the baby to be born. They had trays of food and were having a party!! It’s something they will never forget and neither will we. So so so special.

[@carolgorham1440]

So happy for you both. I'm so excited to meet Sweet Hailey. Praying for a smooth delivery and Psalm 91 over you. Blessings and Grace to you...Every Perfect Gift is from Above! 🙏💕

[@flyawaydutchie]

I am so happy for you. I’m 72 years old and was not able to have children so I live vicariously through you Bates girls as you have babies . I love watching how excited you are becoming as the due date draws nigh. We pray that all will go well and that the hospital will allow both mothers in the room at the same time.

[@Wkayjlamb]

Mama Bates is the right one to ask for anything baby I'm sure! Looking forward to your sweet baby girl's arrival!

[@ShilohShepherdmom]

Your guys' attitude toward the birth is so mature and healthy (and refreshing!). As long as Mom and baby come out healthy, that's all that matters. Expectations and elaborate birth plans often go south very quickly and then the mom feels like a failure or like she was cheated out of the "ideal" birthing experience. So much pressure and fear mongering about parenthood out there. Proud of you guys for going with the flow and focusing on what's truly important. (I too always mentally prepare for the worst, and I usually end up pleasantly surprised.)

[@Sunnydreamer1470]

I love how you talk about everything and laugh together! 🥰 Praying for a smooth labor and delivery! 🙏🏻

[@darlenecorcoran2892]

omg i love travis' enthusiasm for learning about babies! you got a good one there katie

[@rebeccamiller3012]

How sweet and exciting for you both, baby Hailey will be here soon!🥰 We just became first time grandparents to our oldest daughter and son-in-law, and we're so in love with him!! I was able to be there for his birth it was absolutely one of the most sweetest, fav moments in my entire life!!! I love being a mimi!! You both will be great parents!! May the Lord bless you all, and give you a very healthy baby girl and great labor and delivery with no complications!! I love e watching Christian families on here, it's wonderful to he able to keep up with you guys and your daily lives. Thanks for sharing it with us! ❤❤ My hubby and I love the Clark family's music such a blessing to our 💕!!

[@tlynn7043]

This is the most special time in your life. I remember picking the little clothes for my little one. Soak up every minute ..time goes way too fast. 💗

[@lesliemarshall557]

Once Hailey is born wrap her in a hospital blanket. Then Travis bring it home an give it to Remy to smell an sleep with a day or so before Katie and Hailey come home.❤❤❤❤

[@grannynoraswihart8565]

The baby’s first hospital hat with blood and goop is what my hubby took home for our dogs.

[@tesahutcheison7789]

We did this with our mini poodle he wasn't even two years old and so attached to me, but it went very smooth when they met.

[@donnacouch5797]

This is an awesome idea!!

[@nubybautista9814]

I love Travis! He wanted to wear matching pj with Hayley.

[@kathylezcano8793]

I love that idea that is so precious Remy would love that

[@bygrace24]

So glad Carlyn will be with you too 😊 she'll be a great support for you both xxxx

This is so exciting!! I’m praying for a smooth delivery & healthy baby & momma! My oldest was born in March almost 10yrs ago..🥹 Her name is Haley! When I watch this video and hear you talk about your Haliey it takes me back to when I was where you’re at and I get a tad emotional. Soak it all in you guys! The moments you’ve been waiting for are about to begin 🫶🏻😊🥰

[@lsolarin1]

Aww you are both just adorable! Having the first grand baby on Travis’s side is pretty special. You will make amazing parents. Congratulations to you both.

[@ashleyi7911]

So exciting !! I was concerned as a new mom too about how I’d know when it was really time. Everyone kept telling me “you’ll just KNOW” and I was like what’s that supposed to mean ? How?? But indeed I did. I was afraid of them sending me back home and we were 1.5 hours away from home to the hospital so I really didn’t want that but they admitted me shortly after observation and checking me and all. Most of the time, you will just know. So happy for you guys.

[@michelleespinoza8071]

Congratulations! 🎉 I would definitely pack more than 3 outfits for baby girl, usually there is a lot of spit up and runny poops that dirty the outfits quickly. I would think maybe 5-7 just to be safe. Prayers for a safe and fast delivery, and healthy baby🙏🏼

[@cjohnson3550]

Excited for y'all!🌞 Praying with for a smooth delivery and recovery.

[@cherylmiller7208]

It's nice to make baskets of goodies for the labor room nurses and the floor nurses for everything they do for you. Just a suggestion. Good luck on your precious new bundle of joy that you both have created! God bless! 🙏💗

[@janetlrye1742]

Y’all are so sweet!! Can’t wait for baby Hailey! Praying everything goes smoothly and we have a healthy baby and Momma!!

[@Goldnmom]

Super cute video and so cute to see how excited you both are! Travis, you did a great job for your first time swaddling but just remember you need to wrap up the arms in the blanket too, babies want to feel secure, they look like little burritos!

[@anniehessing-violinist]

I love how much you include your mom and how you included calling her!! Also, the nursery is adorable!

[@angelwolfe6728]

Those outfits are adorable! Can’t wait to see the baby shower! Every new mom deserves to be showered with love!!

[@aprilbridgman2073]

So excited to see Hailey!🥰 Will be praying for Katie’s labor and delivery.

[@Tammylamb777]

Helpful tip. I had multiple house keys made. I put one on with every set of our car keys. That way when you leave the house you know you have a house key. Unless you walk out without your car keys which unfortunately has happened with certain family members. Praying for you guys. ♥️

[@user-yy4ej3qg6z]

Thank goodness for moms, for their advice and having an extra key. Prayers your delivery!

[@theresadavis4885]

This will be the most rewarding and greatest adventure of your life!!!! Enjoy every moment. It goes by so fast!!!!

[@candlegirl1973]

You guys are going to be great parents!!! Don't be anxious, God has you in His hands!!!

[@audrey_f23]

Travis’s hoodie would match the robe and swaddle!! Definitely take it and have cute matching pictures!

[@randomroz545]

Yep you have your priorities straight! Epidural is great, but I don't recommend induction if possible. They're not fun! But best laid plans, you're right to go in with that exact attitude! That would be awesome if the moms could be in during delivery, especially Travis's mom since it's the first grand! Hopefully the rules will change! I hope our state doesn't go bagless, what a pain! Glad you were able to get into your house, maybe installing a keypad entry would be nice! So exciting! Enjoy this time before baby girl arrives, it's a super magical time! Thanks for sharing!

[@lisabowman5848]

🕊&Blessings, love the baby burrito🫔 Travis

[@Nunyabusiness82777]

So exciting! It went by fast! Sending ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@onthelakes]

Take way more snacks than you think you’ll need for after you have the baby! I feel like I was up for about 2 straight days after having the baby… so at night while I was sitting there feeding the baby I was snacking on candy and chocolates ❤ definitely recommend!

[@sarahsibert5548]

Yes!! I was so hungry after I had my baby lol

[@kindnessmatters4068]

💯🤍 Snacks are so yummy after birth lol. My nurse brought me a huge slice of brownie and I gobbled it lol 😆

[@anaychaker7344]

So Glad And Thankful 💗CARLIN💗 is coming to be with you !!! 🙌 Enjoy time together going places ( not too far 🙂) but things y’all want to see and do before the baby arrives and STOCK 😀 the house with everything you’ll need ahead of time . 🙂 Prayers and blessings for a wonderful delivery . 🤍🙏🤍

It IS such a blessing to have a good family like that! Y'all will be GREAT! Can't WAIT to meet baby girl!!!!! 💗

[@juanitawalker4836]

You both will do just fine. Your doing a great job with everything so far. Travis, don't worry about not knowing what to do, you will find out the same way every new day dose by learning on the job...lol.. You will do just fine. Katie, you got this girl. Way to go on getting ready for the hospital. Looking forward to seeing baby Hailey born. May our Lord bless you both in everything you do and keep y'all safe and healthy.

[@autumnhoward1276]

Katie you look radiant!😍 I can’t wait to see just how beautiful baby Hailey is going to be!💗 Praying that you have a really smooth labor and delivery, and that mama and baby stay happy and healthy throughout!🙏🏻 That first outfit is really special. Loved the little lamb one with the magnetic snaps. My daughter brought my first granddaughter home from the hospital in the same outfit she’d worn home from the hospital 27 years earlier! The pictures of them side by side are absolutely priceless!🥰

[@whitneyroman1645]

A tip on working the doona.... It helps and makes it smoother if you have the handle in the upright position while putting the wheels up. Pull the handle and slightly push down on the front wheels and glide it down to the floor as you do it. It will become so easy to do it. You become an expert pretty quickly!

[@kristybeck3494]

Much love to you guys, a piece of advice from a mom who had 3 c-sections - don’t overpack. You will not feel like packing up/unloading/washing/putting away ALL of those things when you get home.

[@debrajohnson7611]

As lotion to your bag for baby. Put it on a wipe and it cleans the first sticky poop diapers wonderfully. I learned it from a nurse with my second child.

[@victoriatalentino549]

Katie please wash all of your stuff and Hailey's stuff before you go to the hospital! You want it all to be clean and free of any germs from all the hands that have touched it all. Not to mention it's so satisfying to wash and fold all her things for the first time! ♥️♥️♥️

[@mindymudge7247]

Congratulations, so glad and excited for you both. Wonderful you have great family support. God bless you

[@keriterry5481]

I had an awesome L&D nurse that told me the easiest way to know if I was in labor was to drink a bottle or glass of water and if the contractions got more intense it's more than likely real labor. If they ease off it was false labor. False labor is most of the time caused by dehydration. Hope this helps! Wishing you the best!

[@alexandriapruitt151]

100% recommend getting a key lock box and putting a spare key in it.. get one that mounts so you can put it somewhere in the backyard!!!

[@cindygreetham210]

Travis- always let her change your mind. That’s true & sweet love! ❤😊

[@tiffaniewilbur6873]

I can't get over how much Katie looks like Alyssa now that she is pregnant. Can't wait to see baby Hailey!

[@barbgardner5549]

God knows the perfect timing for when baby comes. I went in 6 weeks prior for a non stress test and was told I was not going home until I deliver. Had c section and will not share the rest of the saga. I was a planner and control freak at one point but could not control this. No bag packed,no nursery,no crib,etc. Had to call girl friend to bring in her car seat🤣🤣God's grace was abundant. Infants do not need much. Bureau drawer worked fine for a few nights. Enjoy this time.

[@bethanymckay2203]

You were at my mom's church in Texas! She was the beautiful lady who also has POTS. My kids were soooo happy that their Grammy got to meet y'all! My mom was so in love with the fact that y'all are so sweet! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TravisandKatie1]

Aww it was nice to meet her too!

[@evekrueger701]

I have happily added your little family to my prayer list. Katie if you will call out to Jesus He will help you during your "moments" of bringing your little girl into this world. ps. Don't forget to breathe. 😉

so happy for y’all! do you have a link for your hospital bag? love it!

[@inglis7086]

New Zealand is now into it's 4 year without single use supermarket bags - it was a pain in the beginning but you learn to purchase nice sturdy fabric bags and you just put the bags inside one bag if you get my meaning and have them in the boot of the car - do some bags as part of your channel and sell them to people who want them - do the dog on some and some nice flowers and a some manly ones as well - I have around 10 fabric reusable bags including one that is for cold/fresh and frozen food

[@lindafarmer5503]

Really enjoy watching you because you are a sweet couple love you both 💗 God bless you both and your families ❤️

I haven't seen someone beautiful glowing when you congrats to you and your family wish you and your family happy

[@rebeccaturner5113]

I never had a birth plan. I just went with whatever labor threw at me. My 1st baby was smooth labor no problems. 2nd emergency C-section with placenta abruption, 3rd smooth planned C-section. You are correct, just go with the flow and healthy baby and healthy you!

[@godisinthisstory3533]

You guys are beautiful😍 God bless you Katie on your birth/delivery! Healthy mama and baby at the end of this. When you started talking about delivery and all that stuff towards the end of the video I got anxious hearing you, because I’m 19 weeks and it’s crazy to think that I’m about 4 1/2 almost 5 months away as well..but prayer can take away all worry and fear and putting are trust in God🙏🏻

[@Karinabell09]

I’m praying for you that everything goes smoothly for all of you, I agree make sure that you bring the blanket home so she can smell it so they can get used to the baby smell

[@KalynJewel]

They make a door knob with numbers so you can enter a combination and it unlocks your door! Even on a back door just in case. So handy!

[@beachgirl0668]

I'm so excited for you guys! When I had my daughter they brought her into me (she was sleeping in the nursery)early morning and it felt like Christmas morning. I was induced since I was a week late. That was almost 31 yrs ago.
