[@laurawilliams6981]

I love how you don’t appear too worried about having to have a C-section. You truly seem so thankful for the life Gods given you and trust He will work it all out for your good! Praying that continued peace for you!!

[@MM-rt6mg]

Exactly! A healthy baby is what matters!

[@Mamabear_29]

Yes! This❤ I almost had to be rushed to the hospital for a C section from the birth center because my babies shoulder/arm was stuck and I had been actively pushing for 5 hours....but God gave me the strength to get her out after 6 hours of non medicated pushing!!❤❤

[@nanrottkamp5817]

Don’t let anyone tell you what’s the best way for your baby. I had c-section and was great. I also had a natural delivery. Every delivery is different and the simple fact is you get the best gift everno matter what. . So, you let that little guy do what he needs to do and don’t let anyone scare you.

[@annemariedelaney5295]

Happy 4th Allison, Brandon & Palmer 🇺🇸🍓🇺🇸❤🤍💙🐕 Enjoyed seeing this great video, Palmer is such a good dog, I love seeing him and he looked so cute with his neck scarf. So much fun seeing the watermelon 🍉 😋 contest, yes so funny. Peace to both of you.☮🍓🇺🇸

[@jeanieturner5183]

I love watching you as your precious baby boy will be joining you soon. I am 76 and am becoming a great grandmother of a rainbow baby girl in September. My granddaughter is very high risk so please keep Ashley and her baby Stella in your prayers. I know you understand since this is your rainbow baby. Praying for safe deliver for you and my granddaughter and very healthy babies. God bless.

[@rebeccaware2157]

lol 😊 the way you’re casually talking to the camera and Brandon’s casual wave to us makes me feel like I’m really in your kitchen having girl time! 🥰

[@MM-rt6mg]

I love how relaxed you were about the possibility of a c-section. I’ve seen so many women panic and use at home methods to try to turn their babies and it is so dangerous. So happy you had the attitude you did.

[@meksu7385]

She's probably wasn't worried because there was still plenty of time for baby to flip! Some don't flip until labor even :)

[@Mamabear_29]

​@@meksu7385yes my daughter was breech position for the entire 3rd trimester. my midwives had me do many different positions every day to turn her safely. 😊❤She turned last minute 😅

[@ChristianPatriotGrandma]

I am so excited for you! There is just nothing that compares to carrying a child and becoming a mother. You are absolutely radiant, and I love the spirit of gratitude that you always display. Palmer is so precious, I so enjoy watching him in these videos. You are so talented and put things together in such a fun and beautiful way. As far as the cake, it looks like maybe you could have doubled the recipe for that size pan, but I’m sure it was still delicious. Thanks for sharing these videos, I look forward to them. P.S. the lipstick you wore at the end looked so pretty on you. God Bless

[@silverlimosine]

I’ve had both a natural delivery and a planned c section. Both were awesome, but my healing was actually quicker with the c section! Every body is different and you’re gonna do just fine (and baby too) no matter how he gets here!

[@KWilliams22]

Definitely ❤

[@rebeccarendle3706]

So adorable. Love the flags and music while you were crafting. Wonderful memories made. So glad the baby turned around. But don't worry if you need a c-section. I had an emergency c-section after over 24hr labour and my baby started getting stressed. So glad we have modern medicine to come to the rescue. My second child had to be a planned c-section after the complications and emergency of my first child birth. You are up walking the next day and feel fine within a few days..just not allowed to lift heavy things for several weeks. I have never met someone whos "birth plan" went according to their ideal plan. Just relax and go with the flow.

[@Mamabear_29]

Love this comment ❤ I wanted and planned/started off in a tub because I wanted a natural water birth. It didn't go as planned and I ended up having her on a birthing stool😅 fun fun lol

[@abbybranchuad]

Your videos inspire me so much to just enjoy life more, and to do more things that I love❤

[@jmat269]

This was the coziest fun vlog !!! I watch every video and love them but something about the colors of the 4th and the activities was just so comforting and fun to view ❤️🤍🩵❤️🤍🩵

[@Crystal-ie2mb]

The 4th of July prep looks so pretty and your cafe Americana gathering/set up was adorable. The sign you made was beautiful, and looked so fun! Loved all the patriotic decor! Palmer was ready for the bash in his cute themed scarf! ❤️🤍🩵I’m enjoying the baby updates! So happy for you 😊.

[@isabellalacy9901]

My baby was breech. I found out later that the Chiropractor can do some things to help them get head down.

[@Mamabear_29]

Yes!❤I went to my chiropractor while I was in early labor! So helpful

[@hisloveiseternal1]

Me too!!!! And definitely went afterwards to heal faster

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

[@leeann1110]

Don’t feel bad about getting decor for a 4th of July celebration to day before…. my husband went shopping for a grill, tent, outdoor table and food the night before we had a 4th of July bbq!

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

We were winning with our last-minute sales! 🤭🍒🇺🇸

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them 💫

[@isabeltigse9185]

Hi Allison, you look spectacular ❣️ july the 1st i got to celebrate Canada Day and 4th of july. As I am in Orlando Florida visiting the Disney parks. The 4th of july celebration was beautiful here. Wishing you the best on your growing family❤

[@cccook1037]

I had 2 c sections as well. I really felt good afterwards. I was in my early 30s and really had no issues. Occasionally 21 years after the second the scar is still itchy.

[@sarahharradine]

Such a cute celebration!! The contest made me go cut up and eat some watermelon 🍉

[@kayeherrera3821]

Your craft idea came out so darn cute I love it Your such a great party planner love what you do another one in the can be well beautiful lady 😊😊 great couple 😊 plamer is a wonderful puppy 🐶

[@paigeyoung4041]

Those little puzzle pieces you got for the kids can be used to make 3d cube sculptures. My kids love them. Probably starting around age 3.

[@laceyhenry4617]

You are adorable!! 😊 Try to avoid a c-section if at all possible!! ❤️ Lots of docs are so eager to jump to a c sectionin the US but the recovery was so much harder for me than all my 5 natural deliveries. Prayers for a healthy baby and mama!! 🙏

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Thank you so much for the prayers - means a lot! 💛

[@StellaGazar]

Its very personal experience!! Everyone is different. I recovered from c-section in a second. Advice like this is not needed. You can only speak for urself.

[@silverlimosine]

Have to disagree with this - a c section can save lives of both mom and baby. This is coming from someone who had both a natural delivery and Planned C-section.

[@SunshineHaitch]

I think it’s so important to not put pressure on yourself and the main thing is a safe and healthy delivery whatever method is used. Baby decides sometimes and that’s fine. I had 3 c sections and didn’t find the recovery difficult at all. Just wanted to add my perspective. You’re amazing Alison and can’t wait to see your adorable family grow.

[@anabelabraganca6439]

Congratulations You look lovely and I like the fact that you look so relaxed and happy. Bisous 😘

[@joennahenderson7324]

Hi Allison this is when I hear your viewers that always see your videos I am very happy to see you happy and full of joy and almost there to have your baby I hope we are praying that your baby will be part of your video song because I know that your joy of spending the time with your baby will be a beautiful time for us to see your videos that we can be part of your family because it brings so much joy to me to be able to see that you came out pregnant after all and expecting a baby and I wanted I've been praying for you and I would like to be able to be part of your family seeing your family grow as three now would be really beautiful God bless you hope and pray that we will see be able to to see your baby on your videos also and see the beautiful blessing that God has given you

[@elliejhnsn]

Those DIY flags are so cute!! 🇺🇸

[@l.devonclenney2317]

Does anyone know where she gets her baking items they all look to be ceramic and they're all so beautiful. I would love to have a set. I've seen her muffin pans and now the quiche dish and I was just wondering where she bought them

[@yasmina7457]

I wonder if baby boy name will be related to the Sun!! So cute :) Allison is glowing!

[@LindsayD228]

I know your breakfast is over now and it was so cute, but just so you know for the future, the coffee is an Americano, not Americana. ☺️

[@basketballprincess34]

I believe it was just meant to be a play on words since it was for the 4th 🙂

[@ALLISONBICKERSTAFF]

Did a little play on words for our theme! 🤭🇺🇸 really could of gone either way though!

[@barbarakelly9396]

I thought coffee is forbidden during pregnancy.
