“Good job, sis!” “Thank you!” I can’t deal with how cute they are. 😍

[@kendraatkins]

Serenity Price the cutest!!

[@laineybugger]

June calling Violet “honey”. Oh my heart ❤️

[@laurenparish9333]

You are a saint ... I made my husband take 6 weeks off after my c section . He drove me crazy by the end .. but it was a life saver !!

[@amanda123303]

Kendra your doing a great job! Your babies are beautiful! Can’t believe how big Owen is.

[@kendraatkins]

Mandy Steele I know so huge!

[@Ericar109]

The girls talking to each other at the table and the coconut dance was the cutest thing ever.

[@danielledutton8192]

Andrew with the girls literally melts my heart into a puddle! So precious! ❤️

[@barbaragraves2330]

Your a super mom Kendra. I love your little family. I have a set of twin grandchildren. They are 10 now and is a boy and girl. When they were 3 months old my son became a single dad. He and they babies moved in with us and we helped him for 5 1/2 years. I became like their mom in raising them. I was mid 40's and working outside the home about 45 hours a week. I think your children are so sweet. Boys are different and you will gave a very special bond with Owen. So glad your feeling better. Take care.

[@lauraaguilar2094]

The baby is so cute and so alert he already looks like a big boy, so adorable!!

[@paisleyplaid4074]

Owen is so chill and adorable. The girls are so sweet! Your family is precious. Prayers for a full recovery!

[@rachelmatatall1576]

He legit looks like he is three months old sitting on the couch all by himself! 😂😂

[@kendraatkins]

he is huge haha

[@Blessedmessmamato4]

I thought the same thing!!

[@natatatt]

How the heck is he only 2 weeks old lol. He's adorable though.

[@madisenlabrum7343]

Rachel L'Esperance I thought the same thing! How they’re all just chillin’ w the two week old like that-big guy! And my guy was that same weight at that age but he looks so much bigger it’s crazy!

[@heatherg994]

Can you vlog forever so that I can see the girls as teenagers... I feel like they’re gonna be a handful in a good way and I need to see it. 😂 that coconut part had me laughing.

[@kendraatkins]

Heather G 😄😄

[@Lizramos10]

You’re amazing Kendra!

[@rachelb399]

He’s such a chunk!!! I love it. Congrats! My baby boy should be here any day now so I’m living thru you for now :)

[@stevi3546]

“Don’t see me!” 😂 that was the cutest! Glad the girls are starting to adjust a little. This is giving me some insight for what I have to look forward to when I have a newborn and an 18mo next month!

[@TheReekers]

15:33 - “good job sis.” “Thank you” So. Friggin sweet. ❤️❤️❤️

[@andreaj5881]

You’re doing an amazing job Kendra!! Owen is such a sweet boy! The girls had me laughing with their coconut dance 😂 Praying you heal quickly! I know how hard these first few weeks of older siblings and a newborn is- God knew you were strong enough to handle it with grace, laughter and a bright future ❤️

[@lilysgram5886]

You look great! Owen is adorable and so aware. The girls are so cute. Owen is so big and so chill. What a beautiful boy. 💖 Best wishes for a speedy recovery. 💞

[@katedellostritto6914]

You are an inspiration on so many levels! Loved this vlog ❤️

[@kendraatkins]

Kate aw thank you so much

[@tarynminahan6766]

Love you kendra!! You’re doing so well

[@Mama_Madsen]

You bvb are not alone for sure! My daughter was 3 when my son was born and she went through a tough transition period for a bit. You have a beautiful family, God bless you all!

[@lindamorgan8672]

Owen is adorable!!! Poor thing didn't like his bath though!!! I love listening to your girls! They are so smart and so verbal! You are handling things so well!!! Keep finding time to take care of you!!!

[@mindy9756]

LOL! "He loves his golf" I get it.

[@seeambergo08]

Y’all are such a sweet family. Love watching your videos. ❤️

[@serena3194]

take it easy Kendra, take care of yourself first before anyone else. a happy mama is a happy family!

[@elitsaandreeva7579]

Like how you manage to do everything,you are one of my inspiration ☀️☀️☀️

[@kendraatkins]

thank you so much!

[@joyfulinhope1210]

It’s good to see you feeling better, but remember not to overdo it, mama! 💕

[@tajughouse7760]

Such a beautiful family ❤️stay blessed

[@Crystal-ky4yd]

Hes adorable Kendra! Congrats 😍❤️

[@Megan-ec5lx]

What a cute little chunk! And he is blessed with such sweet big sisters! ❤️

[@jamielawson8085]

Awwwwww sooo cute that little man is...so happy for u all❤❤❤ get well boo

[@lsmith7144]

You are doing awesome!! The older ones are just used to having you to themselves. They will get the hang of it. I tried to just pick one thing I could do each day with my older that was special with just them. It all works out!

[@mariahhhh-wc2hj]

Yes Kendra it’s those older ones I have a 5 year old & 2 year old the oldest is always the one testing my patience 😂 I’m due in late September with baby #3 we’ll see how things go

[@catwmn14]

“It’s stars honey! I got you your favorite present!” Omg 😍🥰

[@Sarah_JandE]

I completely agree with some of the other commenters.. I have a 2.5 year old and a 9 month old and OMG my 2.5 year old can be so intense sometimes.. he is so needy! Some kids also have small regressions as well which is annoying. But it will definitely get better. He loves his sister now but at first it was rough.. you are such a champ taking care of 3! 💕

[@graceheilman1378]

Ugh, so sorry about your back. I pulled my shoulder muscle during my C-section from the shaking and just being so tense. It was almost one of the worst parts of recovery cause it hurt to hold/nurse my baby. Coconut dance is gold 👌🥥🥥

[@cindygray8322]

Owen had that milk drunk look and then broke into a gorgeous smile! ahhh

[@jessicaschurman7906]

omg the girls talking to each other is the cutest ❤️❤️❤️

[@jennifery3553]

Owen is so cute and you make motherhood look so easy! I had my twin boys when I was 40 and they're almost three now. We contemplated having another baby since my window was closing and I didn't want to be the oldest mother alive. But then I ended up nursing them for over two years and I didn't think I could handle another child. Hearing you talk about having one baby makes me wish I would have just gone for it.

[@cocoxo4024]

You look fantastic Kendra ! You are doing a great job 💗💗💙

[@kendraatkins]

coco Xo thank you!

[@neemanaomi]

U look fabulous Kendra and your cutest kids is everything!😍 Baby boy is definitely big wow💙

[@kendraatkins]

neema Naomi thank you!

[@isabelc.m9593]

I can't cope with their chats and cute little voices. too adorable

[@MsJmp1981]

You’re such a patient mom❤️

[@allisonhaley3957]

I love that line!!!! I say it so much!!

[@ericaleemynatt]

Loved this! Baby Owen is adorable and the girls are so entertaining. I have a scheduled c section in 2 weeks and I’m so nervous 😬

[@susanedwards3502]

You are doing a great job!!!👏🎀🎀💙

[@beam8250]

Kendra, You are looking so gorgeous after having your precious, Owen! Please take good care of yourself. Slow down, take it easy. You're doing a lot for all the trauma your body just went through. Your labor seemed intense, and you need to allow yourself to heal. Hire help if you need it 💘. I'm coming from a place of love. I promise I'm not judging you in any way. Blessings to you all!

[@jaygee1544]

Good to see that you’re doing better. Definitely had the same issue with my daughter when my son was born. She was the only child for 4 years and it was a shock when her brother was born. We just divided our time evenly when baby napped we would do everything with her.

[@hindisa7823]

I have twin 2year old And a 4month old baby so I can relate. It’s very challenging. But we are amazing and we get thru it. It’s hard and they’re days where I can’t function and can’t deal with the tantrums but I always say.. tomorrow is a new day!🙏🏻

[@kendraatkins]

Hind Isa so so true

[@SummerMarie25]

He’s so beautiful 😍 your doing great mama♥️

[@emmauusitalo9281]

You are not the only one with the toddlers being the difficult ones. We just had our forth baby and the older ones have all different tantrums at the same time haha but we just trying to figure things out just as you guys! Hope you feeling better and you recover soon. And congratulations to your family and baby Owen.

[@zoyakingston4755]

Gorgeous family♥️

[@JDA4]

You are doing amazing! I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old, so I can somewhat relate. I can’t imagine doing it with (2) 2 year olds! Your family is beautiful and precious. I really enjoy watching your videos. Btw, when I came home with my baby, my oldest (22 months at the time) had a major sleep regression. She was very clingy to me and held meltdowns when I would leave the room. It all settled down when the baby was 1 month old. Hang in there! It’s totally normal and it gets better. 💗

[@kendraatkins]

J D-A thanks so much 💗💗

[@karinwtfont]

“He loves his golf!” Bahahaha...and I can tell you are thrilled about it! 😉

[@kendraatkins]

karinwtfont 😬😬

[@120mitchmd]

You’re awesome!! Definitely hard dealing with a toddler along with a newborn.. it’s a constant battle and test of patience 😏

[@kendraatkins]

it really is!

[@Maiju86]

I highly recommend the book (or audio book) called Peaceful parents, happy siblings. It's true that the older sibling/ siblings is/are the most difficult part of taking baby home! In our case the first month was the worst and then it got easier.

[@megandanielson3981]

I have a 4 month old and my 3 yr old has been awful! The baby is easy! Glad to hear I’m not the only one!

[@jennaglora1038]

I don’t have twins but my boys are exactly 2 years apart and when I had the baby my 2 years old took it very hard. Meltdowns like crazy but it does get better with time just hang in there ❤️

[@PrettyBalanced]

Walking to your appointment? I love it! Go you!!!

[@themainestead]

I love keeping up with Kendra and her adorable family so much!!! Such an inspiration to my husband and I starting a family in the hopefully near future!! We are starting a channel!! ❤️❤️

[@alianasser4823]

I clicked soo fast I love you guys 💗

[@kendraatkins]

aw thanks!

[@IwillloveU4ever10]

lovely life🌟

[@largefamilychaos1837]

My girls were the same it's getting better. My baby boy is 5 weeks old now. I feel so bad for you with your bladder. I hope you heal well.

[@4dayc]

Beautiful family 🥰

[@LostInWonderland05]

I think pushing and the c section definitely caused the difficult recovery. You basically did both types of labor and it put your body through the ringer. Remember to take things slow. Feel better soon!

[@catmama54]

Wow you are Wonder Woman and I can’t complain of being tired. How you still look so pretty with all you endured,amazing. Beautiful children but they have good looking parents.

[@kendraatkins]

catmama54 aw so nice of you

[@LostInWonderland05]

Taking one baby to the drs office sounds like a dream! Twins are no joke! lol

[@april7104]

He is such a cute little chunk!!

[@jamielawson8085]

Omg so funny the twins have me laughing. The Coconuts lol! Soooo cute

[@preppingmama]

I have 7, and it takes about 6-12 weeks to get adjusted to adding a new baby. During that time, there are a lot of issues with older kids. Totally normal part of life! It will even out.

[@AlexinWonderlandVlog]

“Hitting golf balls at his leisure” 😂. You have more tolerance than me hahaha!!

[@charnedumont3620]

How are you driving so soon after your c-section?? Looking fabulous Kendra :)

[@vernagates7263]

Congrats on your cute baby boy

[@jessicaclark8588]

My 22 month old has the same reaction, major melt downs and just moody for a few weeks after baby. He has been so sweet to her it was everything else. But it didn't help he is getting his 2 year molors on top of it all. But dont worry it gets so much easier. She is almost 2 months know and he is back to his normal happy self:)

[@AshleyRae18]

the girls are hilarious 😂❤️

[@shahinhaider2712]

Beautiful family nice vlog 💖👍

[@khay_66m]

Oh my the 👭🏼 obsession of coconuts🥥👈🥰 Simply hilarious. Your looking good Kendra and wee Owen is looking chunkie good too! Bless🙏👶👭🏼💙

[@kendraatkins]

Khalda M ya what’s up with the coconuts haha

[@khay_66m]

@@kendraatkinscute the way they say it.🤗

[@jessicaa5189]

Take it easy girl!

[@monaalshami9213]

Congrats on your baby boy he is so cute , plz can you tell the name of your baby wrap it seems so comfortable for summer

[@melissavictorino6399]

My oldest daughter is 7, my son is 5 almost 6 and I just had a baby girl this past February and she is 5 months old. I thought I would have harder time with my son who is a huge Mommas boy when we have the new baby but it was my oldest daughter who had some coping issues! Nothing big but you can tell she wanted more attention and always had to one up ;such as if I would say to the baby “ pretty girl” then my oldest would say I am pretty first! But she grew out of that pretty quickly :) Now both kids are in love with her and she absolutely loves them and to watch everything they do!

[@aliciakobialko1718]

I have a 2 yo and 2 mo, my 2yo is definitely harder. She's had some of the same issues adjusting but we've come along way in 2 months!!

[@rachelcole3908]

Your baby boy looks like he’ll be the calm little easy-going guy to balance things out, since you have two hilarious crazy girls. 😊 that’s my prediction. This vlog was so sweet!

[@kendraatkins]

Rachel Cole I sure hope so!!

[@maryamaziz3367]

Do you like the mamaroo swing? If you've ever used the Fisher Price swings is it better than it?

[@kristataylor9172]

Lol. Your girls yelling “coconut” is so funny because my dog is named Cocoa, but we call her Coconut, & as im watching this, she hears them yelling that & looks at my phone all confused 😂

[@TheRavensNest]

Oh I totally agree withnthe fact that it's not the baby that is the major struggle, it's totally the older kids! I gave birth to my third 11 days ago and sure, she needs to eat a lot around the clock, she wants to be skin to skin always and whatever, but my 2.5-year-old is the one struggling and the one we struggle with! He is throwing tantrums left and right, being super mischevious and it's so obvious this is a hard transition for him. For our 6-year-old it's pretty much business as usual though. I really want at least one more but right now I can't imagine willingly having a baby this "close" to my youngest again. 2-year-olds are so much fun but so hard! Also, just wanted to say - you go girl, you're doing such a good job! ❤

[@stmw-mo2]

Aww bless him not liking his bath, my boy was exactly the same but now at 11mnths he's a right water baby, loves his bath time and making a splash with the water x

[@kendraatkins]

Mrs L C ya the girls hated baths when they were little

[@aminaali622]

Wow, you’re handling postpartum so well hun! My experience was similar with my eldest when i went to hospital to deliver my second. I think it’s especially hard for kids with stay at home mothers, they aren’t as use to being cared for by others. Btw, do you ever request Andrew to help out around the house? Does he ever do the cooking, cleaning up or laundry?

[@mattiemontgomery989]

Where is the adorable wooden soap/lotion stand by your kitchen sink from?

[@YoursTrulyKarissa]

So I have twin girls who just turned 3, I’m also 2 weeks post partum via emergency c section... you are totally right that the toddlers are who are struggling! My oldest who is 9 is totally good. She just loves the baby and helps but the twins.... they are just extra lately 🤦🏼‍♀️ hang in there mama!!

[@sharminrahman8038]

Yes the older kids are the problem not the new born. My boys are 2 years apart, and oh dear the toddler tantrums. It's hard to stay sane. You are doing awesome Kendra.

[@SB-dk1ty]

I have 2.25 year old twins and a 2 week old baby, I’m relating to this video so much! My twins have been the hardest and my newborn is a breeze 😂 my twins have been having way more tantrums/getting cranky at each other way more! Please tell me this stage passes 😂❤️ sending you love! Xxx

[@leonelaportillo9652]

I know this might be so sour , but what helps me with UTI is drinking a glass of water and pore limes and lemons inside the juice and the actual 🍋

[@yvonnerodriguez6099]

While I was pregnant and before my twin boys were so good and they listened and everything ran smoothly and once I had their little sister they just didn’t want to listen or stay still for a just a few seconds and just being more rebellious in a way and more because I was with the baby and they weren’t given much attention and time and I was by myself taking care of them but they started settling down now we’re having a routine setting in place so it will get better

[@siyuan962]

Congrats on baby! We’re having baby boy due later this year and I have 18mo old twin girls. Ur super mom doing it on ur own!!! We’re thinking about putting in a pool and I was wondering if ur girls ask to go in all the time and if so how do u prevent meltdowns when you don’t want them to go in?? Thx!!

[@LizBy021]

You should do a video on unexpected c sections. I’m due in sept and so scared of the idea of a last min c section. I wouldn’t know what to expect, bring with for recovery, have at home to help ease recovery ect

[@meredithf6837]

Kendra, do you have a postpartum belly wrap/binder? I swear it saved me after my second c-section. Prayers for healing! My kiddos are 2 years apart and our baby is difficult, but our son is by far more difficult! I totally sympathize 😓

[@grandmaouimette]

My daughter was 22 mons old when I had my son. She definitely needed more of my attention.

[@reneeca5696]

My oldest son who's 6'1" now and 9 lb 10 oz on his due date (!) was always in the high 90th percentile-one time he was off the charts for both height and weight! But, that bath scene! He used to scream just like poor little Owen, in the beginning, it gave me such anxiety every time he needed a bath, lol!🙄

[@RainyJo715]

Oh my goodness, I can’t get over how big he is! He really did look like a 3 month old sitting on the couch..lol I think that’s probably better for you that you didn’t have a V-back.;) That really stinks about your bladder! I never had any after contractions after either birth, but I have a friend who said they were horrible. Crazy!! My kids are a few yrs apart too, and my oldest was a helper, by choice. I really think that helped her to feel important with the new baby, and I never noticed any jealousy. :) I loved the girls talking to each other! Omg’sh, they’re so cute, sweet, and funny too!😘 Hope you’re feeling better soon!! 🥰

[@kmw3108]

I have a 5 year old boy and a 10 week old girl at home, I definitely find my son is way more needy then my daughter. And they always seem to need something at the same time so that becomes a bit tricky!

[@cciieerraar32]

Can you make a video on breastfeeding and pumping..your routine, struggles, advice??? My baby was born just a couple days after Owen and I’m having such a hard time with it!!
