postpartum depression, our relationship, & managing life with 2 kids

[@k.c.4735]

Derik's answer about The One basically shows that he falls more in love with Sarah as time goes by, and that's something everyone would love to have. Y'all are too cute.

[@lynnkornegay1898]

I like Derek’s answer about “the one”. It is about making a commitment and growing a relationship through ups and downs. Not magically finding the only person meant for you.

[@melbaburson7973]

Derek & Sarah, I'm not sure when I first saw Derek, but he was so cute! He always smiled & laughed about everything family. Watching your family became contagious. I can't say I have seen every video because I can't seem to figure out all of the time frames & where you are in your life. Nevertheless, I think you are both adorable & so are Jack & Sunny who is now 4 months old. Right now you are sitting on your porch/deck. I just saw you leave Hawaii so I'm not sure if you are in Sydney or Utah. Surely there are young adults your age who must watch you & learn from the way you have fun, love each other & interact with Jack & Sunny. I thought I saw a video where you had another baby girl. See... I get lost. Maybe that's because I'm 75! Lol! (Old people watch, too!) I appreciate the fact that y'all (I'm in Louisiana) have had the opportunity to do wonderful things that I would think most people haven't done. So to me it's been like I've done them by just watching you & seeing how much fun you've had & how loving y'all are. Thank you for your honest, loving, and sometimes tearful conversations with each other & with US! Growing up in Utah had to be a whole lot more fun than in north Louisiana. Some wealthier people here have gone to other places for fun. I have had a very nice life here, but it's fun watching all the things you do & how you take care of your children. I hope when they are older they will watch your videos & see how much they have always been loved! I know this is a long comment, but I'll probably never comment again. Just want you to know how much I think most people love you. Don't worry about the others!

[@marycatherinejobe4540]

I love you guys!!! And if people don’t like you, or can only leave negative comments, they should just stop watching you, and leave the comments off. I’m a believer in “If you can’t say something nice, say nothing.”. It’s very simple!! Sunny is adorable!! She looks so much like Jack :). And her hair is getting lighter… but she is so darn cute 🥰

It’s okay to feel sad and grieve the things that have changed. It is important to let yourself know your emotions count even if there is worse stuff going on elsewhere, or “it could be worse.” Crying is healing. Your tears allow you to process it all. Sending love and compassion to you both during these big changes. You are doing a good job. ❤

Y'all have eachother, a loving and supportive family, a job you can do together and a strong faith. Hold onto these things and eachother. You will be fine. Talk to your doctor for help with post partum depression. They can help at least a little.

[@laceyhowland3351]

I'm 20... I am from Illinois and have a almost 5 month old baby girl, and I have struggled so much with adjusting and postpartum depression that I'm ashamed with myself.. this video with you opening up just a glimpse about what you are going through helps..everything was great last year at the beginning of the year then in April 2022 my boyfriend and I lost our job (we worked in the same company) just a month after finding out we we were pregnant. Due to being pushed out by other people.. I had pre eclampsia at 32 weeks and was hospitalized until 34 weeks and induced.. she was born with fluid in her lungs from aspirating and was in the NICU for 3 weeks... I couldn't breast feed because I couldn't handle pumping for my baby that I couldn't even feed myself for 3 weeks. After she got home at 6 weeks she ended up getting pneumonia and rsv and was in the picu for another 3 weeks... We had moved and I picked up my blue unresponsive babygirl... She had flatlined several times because she had to be transferred to another hospital that was bigger with better equipment and it took them 5 hours. I had to watch them do CPR on my baby repeatedly lifeless on a hospital bed with a tube down her throat.. she's home and health now. 5 months and 15 pounds. Quite a short chuncker. The point of this was to say thank you. Thank you for being as vulnerable as you were for a few minutes about your postpartum.

[@sto515]

It’s so so normal for you to have postpartum depression or even depression with everything that you have been going through. I’m so glad your baby is ok, healthy and back home with you. Please don’t be hard on yourself, it’s ok and totally valid to be feeling everything that you are feeling. Take it one day at a time. I wish the best to you, your baby girl and your family ❤

[@trinity2502]

Oh girl I just want to hug you and tell you you are doing a fantastic job mama! With all on your plate and your bf’s plate and such a journey for your baby in first few months you are my superhero!!!! Just know that if you will continue to struggle with it, definitely seek help by talking to your obg and then see if medicine helps. I had my girl 3 years ago. When Covid broke out and she was 6 months. I remember I was so joyful at birth. I wanted more kids and then hormones adjusted, fatigue set it, isolation and furlough during Covid and I fell into before I could realize it even. Now that I have more good days than bad, please be sure to seek out other mamas in support groups, obg (make sure they take you seriously) and then you ask for help. Know you are not alone. You are my absolute hero for how you got your baby taken care of even with all the obstacles. Great job mama!!!!! ❤

[@sairachiodini]

We’re having our first baby this summer in July. The thing that helps me not panic as much is always hearing that they aren’t tiny forever and those hardest parts at the beginning are only for a little while. Take your time with baby number 3. When it feels right, go for it and I pray that it works out for you quickly when you’re ready. I’m already 32 so I also have to think about my timeline with eventually wanting baby number two, but I know we will proceed when we feel ready as well. And more people love you two than not. Remember… the more people who know you, the higher the odds of running into negative, judgmental people. They do not represent your fans and the people you help with your videos all the time. You’re appreciated.

It gets easy when they start to talk and are able to convey what they want and you are able to explain more and more.

My second child didn't sleep for the first year of her life whereas my my first child slept through the night from 16 weeks and with my daughter I was falling asleep on my feet so my partner suggested a night nanny. Best thing I ever did. I put her down after her bath and then she took over. I could take a shower and go to bed and sleep knowing my baby was being well taken care of. I made sure to pump enough during the day to take that anxiety away.y nanny went above and beyond I'd get upto a clean kitchen a tidied living room, folded laundry.

I was a single parent from when my daughter was around a year old which is when she started sleeping through the night. I enjoyed single parenthood just me and my babies. They're grown now in their 20s and successful and most importantly happy. If any of your friends have a baby who doesn't sleep I'd definitely recommend a night nanny.

You guys are so awesome. Life is not a party. It’s a journey with ups and downs. The ups are easy to handle, but it is the downs that define any relationship. So many of us quit and run if anything gets even the slightest bit rocky and hard and that is so sad because that is what shapes you. Learning how to handle hard times is essential to not only your mental health and well being, but also affects the impact you have on everyone around you. One thing I have learned in my long journey through life is that God is real and I wish I had realized this much earlier so that I could have leaned on Him during the turbulent times instead of on my own understanding and that of man’s which is so flawed and keeps changing with time. Gods truth has never changed since He created the world, and once you come to this understanding you will experience an inner peace like no other. It is a life long journey that is impossible to make without Him. He came to this world fully human in order to redeem us as Jesus Christ so that we could be saved because we cannot save ourselves. You are in my prayers.

[@donnac1279]

1st...let me say thank you for sharing your lives with me. I follow Lo & Tanner also. I'm 65, retired and it brightens my day when any Beeston make a post. All of your babies are so precious. You are a blessing to more people than you realize. I think y'all do a great job with your videos. I don't usually post comments, but felt you should know that your audience is more than just people your age. Keep up the good work and hang in there, it will get easier. God has blessed all of you with beautiful children ❤️🇺🇸

[@adnyl6288]

Agree..I'm 61 and love all the Beestons. ♥

[@debbyscroggin9175]

I am fairly disabled my back doesn't allow me to do much anymore in my late 60's so I love watching you two and your kids I love seeing people in love and the kids are icing on the cake. I love watching you with the Beeston bunch that is a lovely relationship too and so nice to see with so much hate and violence. Just keep doing what you are doing and you will make us happy. I too had endometriosis but I was trying to have a baby in 1974 and to here weren't all the medical advances that we now have and I was never lucky enough to have a baby. So watching you just makes me happy

[@MJB550]

Amazing, scanning through your comments- I see different age groups! That’s awesome. You have managed to capture the hearts of all ages. Just remember, your acts speak louder than words. Being grounded in your faith shines through! Also, I do believe Derek has grown several inches since you first started your channel! Wishing you well!

[@andywest7934]

I hope things get better for you guys. As you know, sleep will get better, and things will get a rhythm to it, and there should never be any pressure on you guys to "perform" for the crowd. You do your thing, and people can watch or skip it. No matter what's in your video, you will always have people tuning in to watch because they are interested in your life and what you have to share. Good luck

[@juleswick]

Yes it’s OK to cry! It’s always ok! You are NOT alone and I hope you 1. Feel better just kinda opening up and sharing what’s on your heart. 2. I hope you know how much you’re helping people just by talking about these things. There’s so much “perfection” on social media that it often leaves me feeling less than. I NEVER get that vibe from you guys. I enjoy your content so much and enjoy you guys even more 😊. Sending love and hugs to you both! 💖✨

Ok . . .to be honest, I watched your 'shorter' clips and thought you were almost like the other family living in Hawaii who travel the world! But now that I've been watching some of your longer videos, you guys ROCK! Father Beeston seemed to me like a real surfer dude ( in Australia that's means your a flake) but you man have a head on your shoulders . . .word. And Mrs Beeston is amazing . . .that clip of your reaction to Jack meeting Sunny for the first time FLIPS me out . . .you are sooo ooo genuine and gloriously beautiful on the inside. I'm ashamed to admit as an Aussie I have little tolerance for Americans, but watching your family puts me to shame. And you're not all 'God is great and crap' which is really really really refreshing. Loving your interaction with your adorable kids and with each other, sigh wish I was as fortunate as you are to have found your 'bestie'. Best wishes and keep those postings coming . . .can't get enough. p.s. I never comment totally beneath me but you're worth it. lol Love Lisa from Australia. Have you visited yet, saw in one clip you were planning . . .did you make it yet. Hope you love our country I do but I'm biased (4th generation Ozzie Ozzie Oi Oi Oi!)

[@TexRobNC]

I hadn't heard about this hair thing until this year, and I'm 45 years old. Some people who are really crazy about their "genes" will freak out if they have a kid with different colored hair. I forgot where it was, I heard a story about someone saying they couldn't marry some girl because she'd mess up the color of the hair that all the family has. Some people are weird!

[@nancyhowell4505]

My mom had auburn hair all her life of 86/87 years other than her temples. Dad had deep dark brown hair, I called it black, sprinkled with gray. I was blonde (golden to ashy) until all of it became snowy white, 1st white hair at 19yrs old, all white by 45-50ish. 🤔🤷‍♀️

[@jesse5658]

It's so ridiculous. Not to mention her hair is already blonde-ing up. My Uncle and Aunt(both blue eyes, very light brown/dirty blonde hair) had all babies that looked the same until the last. She had dark hair when born. But it eventually changed to blonde. Like very very few adults(idk the %) are naturally blonde. They may have started out blonde, but it almost always darkens as you age.

[@margarmargar1871]

I thought it was blond hair 1st then turned darker.

[@kimberlyhyde3040]

I’m a blonde, that was born into a family with all dark brown hair, my parents, sister, brother, aunts,uncles, grandparents. I have one cousin with blonde hair that’s a few years younger than me. My daughter is a blonde and my son a brunette. Both my grandkids are brunette also.

[@Gamer_Mama_0611]

My dad had beach blonde hair up till being a teenager, then in young adulthood his hair turned brown. Hair changes.

[@donnadingman9159]

I think the more you focus on how chaotic things are they're going to remain chaotic and become more stressful. Try not to focus on that. Take your focus away from that. Focus on the positive, focus on how really fortunate your family is, focus on what really makes you happy.

[@ArtWench]

One of the best things you provide is a very positive view of marriage and family life. There are so many things which attack traditional marriage and family, turning a lot of people away from commitment and happiness. Videos like yours show your audience how wonderful having a loving spouse is and how miraculous having children with that loving spouse is. Sarah, keep focusing on the positive. Our hormones really go nuts after we have a baby and it takes awhile for things to settle down. You are doing great. You have two beautiful happy and healthy children who you keep fed, bathed, entertained, and sheltered. That is no small feat!

[@debbiecarpenter5876]

I love watching your young lives unfold. You both have so much to come. My mom passed away 3 weeks ago, she was 81. I wish I would have had more time with her. Its hard to believe how fast the time goes. Enjoy and love each other as much as you can. Because we get no 2nd chances to express how much our families mean to us. Live your lives to the fullest. Remember to say I love you everyday. Never forget why you chose each other.

[@corimcewen4536]

I am a single grandma of 15, live in Southern Utah and am thrilled to watch you guys as I feel like I am included! My kids and grands live all over the U.S. and we are not able to have much screen time with each other very often! My oldest grandson is on a mission right now and is more accessible to communicate with than the other grands!!;).

[@b_sus87]

Sarah I don’t know if this helps to hear, but how you’re feeling in this season of life is normal and valid. I’m a few years past you w my family, but have kids the same age gap as Jack and Sunny. When my son was born it was rainbows and butterflies. Less than 2 yrs later the addition of our daughter unexpectedly rocked my world. It was stressful, chaotic, and kind of isolating. Despite a beautiful healthy little girl I always wanted- I struggled w PPD. Going from 1 to 2 is rough, but I want to add that ime it’s the hardest transition. Things DO GET better. Routines make a comeback after the newborn stage and that light starts to creep back in. Before you know it you’ll be in the most blissful stage of parenthood and it will make all the struggles all worthwhile. You’re doing an amazing job 💗 P.s- there’s no shame in seeking help from doctors, or your husband.

[@janellee250]

I can’t tell you how watching your precious angel babies lift my spirits so I’m just praying that you show Sunny girl and her interaction in each day like you did with Captain Jack because man oh man does it make me smile and laugh! Your babies are the most adorable littles on you tube……seriously, so thank you for sharing their cuteness with us. I could seriously just watch Sunny staring off in space for an hour because she’s so darn cute! It was the same with buddy too when he was that little. ❤

[@hoptoit5910]

You know Sarah if you are struggling and having a bit of a hard time you don’t need to make less of it.

You are a beautiful family. Your attitude is wonderful. We need more positive thinking folks in this old world. At 71, I've seen a lot of life and know that it has its ups and downs.

You are both so cute and are in a busy, stressful time of life with two little ones and a lot on your plate so no wonder life seems overwhelming. You seem to care about each other and it is good that you listen to each other. I have been married for 55 years which does not make me an expert but one thing I heard that helped me and still does is : “ it is better to be kind than to be right”. In any relationship. It makes me mad that people are critical of you guys…. If they can’t anything good they should not say anything at all!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! so MANY reasons I love your videos is you avoid politics and religion. My views on both are strong and I know if you try to preach or teach you’ll alienate half your viewers. You’re positive people who are often in the throws of complicated situations everyone can relate to, and we are shown an example of handling things without being violent or rude or overly assertive. Being a good example to your kids and the rest of society who maybe didn’t have the best example at home.

I once had post partum blues.. For first time mom its noraml because we literally do not know what to do. Even if you attended classes of some sort before delivery, its still different when time comes. I remember feeling down and having fears of the unknown, and I just dont like the feeling that "you dont know what to do" . If there is one thing that i have learned from that experience is that you cannot keep it to yourself. You must talk to someone and definitely need the support of Derek. Always remember that your mind should be stronger, its in your mind and you have the power to stop it and overcome it. The only person that can help is yourself, if you welcome and wallow upon it then you will really fall in that pit. Post partum blues last a month and untreated postpartum blues can lead to post partum depression, as early as possible, it needs to be cured. Just sharing thru my experience, so that others will have the knowledge on how to deal with it. Most importantly pray to he heavenly father, He is the greatest healer and comforter. Godbless your family.
