Things are getting hard... ⎮ Home Birth, Postpartum Cart, Baby Haul

[@jelissafrank5858]

I remember people kept texting me asking if my daughter I was here. I had to send a text to set boundaries 😂. Nobody wanted her here more than me I didn’t need a reminder. Praying for a safe delivery.

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Yeah I figure that could get frustrating! I’ll probably do the same 😂

[@courtneyjordan8772]

You’re so prepared! Have you and Kyle talked about the signs of postpartum depression/anxiety/psychosis, and what you’ll do if you start to feel any of them? It can be a pretty brutal time in the trenches. I wish I had talked to my husband about these things before the baby came since it can be hard to think clearly when you’re exhausted.

[@elliejohnson8146]

I love this reminder! 🤍

[@nancydroge7682]

Kian, You are so well organized & prepped in every way! Each time Kyle came in the room, the joy between the two of you was impossible to miss! (Your son is already so blessed!) It has been such an honor being invited into this very special season of your life journey! Keep guarding your beautiful heart! My husband & I are praying for you & Kyle & for a blessed delivery of your little one! Also, praying for Handsome’s tail. I feel so bad for him!

[@ShannonCombs-mz9fc]

Your husband is spot on about not sharing the due date with the world! My baby came 10 days late and everyone kept messaging me. It can be a bit overwhelming and feel like people are too involved in the experience. Prayers for peace of mind no matter how your birth goes! You got this!

[@emmajacquet5178]

Kian I highly highly recommend getting some flushable PH friendly wipes for the bathroom. It’s so so good and feels so nice and refreshing to be able to properly wipe everything down after using the bathroom because things are so messy all the time. I would used my frida bottle, then a flushable wipe and then I’d put healing products on 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ninamarie2428]

Kian you are so prepared and so organized!!!! I am so impressed by you!🙌🏼🤍

[@gabriellapavlov3308]

You are so wise to not say the due date. With my 3 people from church or family would text me everyday asking if baby was here yet. It was good intentions they were excited! 1st baby was one day “early”, 2nd was c section & third was vbac 10 days “late”. It’s so stressful when people ask because you can literally NOT control it. It’s such a beautiful mystery that no amount of modern science can predict. God made it that way if he wanted us to know He would have made it known.

[@alekk6956]

Love the earth mama spray! Used it for both my babies. You definitely need that! Also get some lavender essential oil to put a drop or two in your peri peri bottle for postpartum. Good luck!!

[@kdmalanna]

I will never forget the day I turned 37 weeks with my first pregnancy, it’s like you said.. a switch flipped and I suddenly went from happy and easy going to very irritable🥲 at the time I thought maybe it was a sign labour was coming? But he wasn’t born til a day after my due date. Try and give yourself grace, the end of pregnancy is really hard physically, mentally and emotionally, even if you’ve been having a great pregnancy. Sending you love and prayers for a smooth labour, delivery & recovery. You’re stronger than you think🤍

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Yes definitely need to slow down and give myself grace during this time. Feeling very sore, emotional, and moody 😅

[@2beautiful2bawkward]

Good Luck Kian with the last few weeks of pregnancy. Pray peace, rest, and safety into the final stretch.

[@Elizabethmarie1313]

Great video!! I’m pregnant as well, 19 weeks 🎉 these types of videos help so much…it’s so nice that all my favorite KZbinrs have either had kids recently or are pregnant and it helps me to feel so much more prepared!!

[@RW86424]

Same here! I love it

[@luccianaborn6629]

As a mom of two, you are very smart to keep your due date to yourself. Once you get to the very end, it can be very emotional. If you go late and you’re uncomfortable just want to go into labor already it does not help at all for others to remind you that your due date has come and gone very unnecessary form of stress good for you! Praying that you have a very safe delivery and an overall good experience. Remember that God has his hand on you and your baby always❤

[@Amandagee00]

Oh you’re so close to birthing that sweet boy!! We didn’t share our due date for our second and it was so nice just being in our little bubble. (My first son came 10 days “early” and my second was 3 days “early”.) Those last few weeks can feel so long, but trust me he will be in your arms SO SOON!! so excited for you and Kyle!

[@Ohwell32]

Hi Kian! Your videos are always so relaxing. It seems like you're well stocked. I would suggest one thing: buy yourself some individual freezer meals. Try to get healthy ones. If you're ever alone and need a meal but don't have energy to cook, they will come in handy. Have a good day.

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Yes that’s definitely on my list to have lots of food prepped! Thankfully Kyle will be home to cook for me too 🥰

[@Ohwell32]

@@Kian_Wolfgang That's great. I don't know much about home births so I don't know what you'll need for that. Your midwife or doc will let you know what you'll need. You seem pretty ready. I'm glad your hubby will be there to cook for you. That will be a blessing for sure.

[@Ohwell32]

@@Kian_Wolfgang I was a bit sleep deprived yesterday or else I would have remembered paternity leave is alot longer than it used to be. lol

[@emilypierce3143]

Im due the 18th of July with my daughter so i appreciate these videos 😄🫶. Im excited to see if our kiddos end up coming on the same day.

[@heather6404]

Just had my first baby in May and she was late by 2 days. You don't have to share the date, but not many babies are born on their due date 😊 praying for a safe and positive delivery! We also shared our due date with everyone and not a single person asked if she was here yet. People know that babies are gonna come when they are meant to, and that a lot of first babies take a little bit longer to bake ❤

[@BSmeansBlueSalad]

Learned that halfway through this pregnancy. Saying that the baby is expected mid July when due date was calculated as July 2nd helps keep me sane.

[@heather6404]

​@@BSmeansBlueSaladah you're so close! Praying for a great delivery experience for you 😊

[@lovelycienna5]

I think it’s actually so good that you aren’t sharing the due date, for the exact reason y’all talked about! Just rest in the time you have left in your pregnancy and God will bless you with your sweet baby boy soooo soon ❤️

[@Patrizia.Isabella]

Hi Kian! I’d love to know more about how you prepared for the baby, how did you educate yourself on all these things you needed to know before baby gets here? Google, Books, KZbin videos? Which were your favorite? Also a video on all essential things that you need to know while you’re pregnant or when baby gets here. Focus on your rest and baby’s well-being and maybe if you have time down the line, when baby is a little older, I’d love some videos like this!! You are going to be an amazing mom, many blessings to you and Kyle!! 🥰❤️

[@ashlynroltgen6709]

Love this so much kian!! Praying for you and your sweet family

[@Laurapetes]

I love how Kyle was so sure of the decision to not share the due date, like he thought it through so much 😂 he’s right though and it’s sweet to see you guys in this season!!! Congratulations ❤️✨

[@koxy2343]

With the Newton you down put a mattress protector or sheet on. Defeats the purpose of the mattress itself

[@ericaisblessed5]

You got this Kian! Praying for a safe delivery and healthy mom & baby! 🙏🏾💖

[@AriannaAcosta]

Stool softener is a mussstt - even if you feel good still use them so you don’t get hemorrhoids especially with a natural birth, lots and lots of bedside snacks that are easy to open and have lots of protein, also I haven’t used these but heard great things about nipple shields so you can still feel sensation on your nipples after breastfeeding for a while! Also maybe bibs on the cart for daytime feedings! Your doing great 🤍🤍

[@chantellejohnston3008]

10000000% ! A yummy natural boost of fibre (to aid constipation) is kiwi fruit, skin on, run under water and eat like an apple.

[@arielfonseca7148]

Oh just to second some other comments, I would order the earth mama perineal spray asap. I used it with both my babies and if i had to pick one cream or spray to go with my pads, it would be that one! No dermaplast necessary

[@karagrace643]

This gives me the worst baby fever lol! Praying for these last moments as you wait for your sweet baby, Kian ❤

[@miaroman9320]

Kyle’s advice is just the best!

[@keannaprice]

I agree. 🤍 Humbled heart.

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

The license analogy was on point 😂

[@Ohwell32]

Hi Kian. You are well prepared it seems. You can add familiarizing yourself with reading up on how to sterilize baby bottles. You will probably need that for when you need to pump milk. You're doing great on your preparing.

[@bonniebrown5102]

I'm so impressed on how prepared you are! My only suggestion is to have someone help you get you bedding protection on a week or so from your due date. I planned to have a hospital birth with my second child and my water broke naturally when I was resting on my bed in (what I thought), was just early pre-labor. We didn't have time to get the bedding stripped and in the wash before I left for the hospital so that was kind of not fun to deal with when we got home from the hospital.

[@rachaelhopper6097]

I didn't want to tell strangers my due date either! It's like... strangers do not need to know that information BUT also its is an ESTIMATED due date for a reason. Baby's are not alarm clocks and will come when they are ready. I kept telling people the end of April or the end of Spring to get around it!

[@jessicafranzen2211]

The story about the guy with the road rage reminded me of the intrusive thoughts immediately after I gave birth… it can be sooo scary and hard and is VERY common! Nobody told me about that kind of anxiety in postpartum! Maybe it could be good to look into some ways to talk yourself through those sorts of things so it doesn’t come as too much of a shock and overwhelm you ❤ something like that happening with your baby in the car would have absolutely sent me over the edge 😢

[@beltranalmendrarociodejesu8384]

your videos always feel like fresh air Kian!

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

aw thank you!

[@Breyerluvr4eva]

I didnt have any of that stuff for after the birth of my daughter. I actually had a peri bottle that I never opened because I just used the one they gave me in the hospital. I did buy diapers though for the bleeding. Luckily, I didn't have any tears at all though so I think that's why my recovery was so easy

[@katelynnmonty3853]

Kian, I just want to say - you look so beautiful pregnant. I'm not sure how you're feeling, but I loved being pregnant. Wishing you the best birth

[@trinitybell945]

Mom of 3 here, padcycles were a waste of time! Lots of melting & dampness down there!

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Some people say they love them and others hate them 😅 guess I’ll find out with my first where I stand

[@michelleharris1783]

Handsome might have limp tail. If so, it happens when retrievers work out too hard or swim too hard (our labs have had it quite a few times as they are our duck dogs)! Hoping that’s all it is, and if so, he should be back to normal in a few days 🥰

[@Corinthians--ek4kt]

Kian will you be using the pool as well? GOD BLESS ❤

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

My midwife will bring one! I think it would be nice to give birth in the pool, but we’ll see where baby wants to be delivered!

[@Breyerluvr4eva]

Please in your homebirth video talk about kyle and his reaction to you wanting one. My husband wouldnt get on board. I really want one (preg w #2) but I can't force him to be okay with it, of course

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Kyle was hesitant at first but really trusted me and my preferences. I think him being a part of my doula’s birth class has also made him even more excited. I have heard the documentary “the business of being born” was what helped some women’s husbands understand things better. I haven’t watched it yet.

[@Breyerluvr4eva]

@KianTilton I have watched it but my husband hasn't. We even had a consult with a home birth midwife but he just was so paranoid about the "what if" praying for the next one he'll come around...

[@ourhinikerhome]

I definitely recommend lots of regular sized pads, i only needed the large/diapers for 3 days then just normal pads 🙏🏼

[@aubreyleo9889]

Do you plan on filming your birth or atleast making a video with parts of it in there? Super invested😂 ive never seen someone i follow do a home birth and i think thats an amazing decision you have made! Very powerful! ❤❤

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Yes hoping to film as much as possible without detracting from my experience!

[@magnolia7322]

Hey Kian!! I’m not 100% positive but I’m pretty sure the breathability of newton mattress isn’t going to work if the Mattress covers aren’t breathable either! I did the same thing and got really cute covers for our mattress then read you have to get the ones on newton for it actually to work 😂 again not totally sure im a new mom still and second guess myself often (don’t recommend) but I would look into it! I just got the covers on newton to be safe!🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

We got the newton mattress protector to go with it! Do the sheets matter too? I figured you can breath through any sheet right? Haha

Is that good for the baby clothes?

[@karalyneirene1591]

My dogs tail would do that if he spent a lot of time in the water. It pretty much fixes itself but I think you don't want it to go too long. Its called wet tail- or at least that's what my dog had!

[@Kian_Wolfgang]

Yes good news is was just swimmers tale and he’s gaining mobility day by day 🙌🏻

[@karalyneirene1591]

@@Kian_Wolfgang Yay! 😊

[@kristenbussey5137]

Baby clothes sizing is just as goofy as adult womens sizes. My baby boy just turned 1 and some of his 3-6 months still fit, some of his 12 months are too small. Usually 9 months is the sweet spot for his size but not always. So if you have an outfit you love even if its way outside his age try it on him! You'll be surprised how much use you can get out of them - of course every baby will grow at a different rate but sizes are definitely inconsistent in my experience

2:25 when is the full moon? My sister went exactly 2 weeks early during a full moon. Full moons tend to cause people and animals to go into labor when they are close to their due date.

My son was seven days late. ❤

[@eowynfan17]

So I got emotional yesterday because we finally caught the armadillo that has been digging up our yard, but they sure do have cute faces. My hubby hooked it up to the exhaust pipe on one of our cars, since it’s apparently the most humane way to euthanize them…it was just depressing knowing it was happening. I’m 19 weeks with our first baby tomorrow, so my hormones are all over the place.

[@hopenoland6656]

Do you plan on filming your home birth? I hope you can relax + rest as much as possible before baby comes.

Yes, what you have is much (cleaner) than derma blast you don’t need it with what you have and I wouldn’t put the sound machine by the babies ears and let him sleep in the quiet. It’s good for their mind. And you don’t have to share your due date like Kyle said the babies gonna come when he comes. The doctors are not always correct on the due date, most of the time they’re not but I bet he comes a week early.👶🏻🩵
