About Sierra and Stephen IRL
Hey friends! I’m Sierra Schultzzie and this is my vlog channel with my husband, Stephen. We started vlogging 5 years ago to document planning our wedding and growing together as a young married couple, and the channel has now really become our passion project. We love creating travel vlogs, disneyland vlogs, showing behind the scenes of creating my fashion and lifestyle videos, and all the little ups and downs of our unfiltered, real life. We loved documenting our journey trying to concieve and getting pregnant, are now so happy to be sharing our experience as first time parents to our daughter, Grace.

@coffeewithconnie2862 3 месяца назад

can you guys PLEASE do a q+a style video on Stephens perspective on helping/being present with helping with a newborn? watching this video a lot of women are going to realize how much their husbands dont help/ say they cant help because of breastfeeding but Stephen seems to always try to fill your cup. and you for him as well! we need a video on partner sharing duties and advice on pouring back into your partner.

@moda78z 3 месяца назад

Yeah, Stephen is wonderful. He took off work with Gracie too. They make such a great team. ❤️❤️❤️

@meaganl124 3 месяца назад

Yeah I second this! I mainly don’t want kids bc being a mom feels so unequal to being a dad, even if the dad wants to step up, society kinda forces you back into standard expected roles in a lot of ways. So having more assurances of men actually pulling their weight would help hahaha

@FunGameGirl97 3 месяца назад

My grandmother told me they didn't really have breastfeeding clothes back when she was a young mom, so one thing she was very sad about was her loss of style cause she only wore a button-up shirts. So when she saw me with my son and how I just wore my everyday clothes and would just lift it up and feed on the go, she was so happy and proud with how unashamed breastfeeding was nowadays 🥰

@mandymckk 3 месяца назад

I’ve been really impressed lately with how well you balance talking about and showing your experience with parenting without showing the kids all the time. You’re never shoving the camera in their faces and are very purposeful about what you show and don’t show of them and their lives. They’re adorable and we love seeing them but respecting their privacy the way you do is so important. I know that was a goal of yours when you became parents, so wanted to say I notice how well you’re pulling it off! Also love when Stephen vlogs!

@skylarberry3754 3 месяца назад

My sister and I are 3 years apart and I think its the perfect split, we were close enough growing up that we could do the same things once we got a little older but enough apart that we got to be independent as well. She was also a senior when I was a freshman and it was so nice having my big sis drive me to school that entire first year ❤

@kestradarowski3439 3 месяца назад

My oldest 2 are 13 months 13 days apart. They are best friends. It was hard at first to just manage time with each, especially the oldest. But I can’t imagine not having both of them. Then there’s a 4 year gap between my 2nd and 3rd. Which was really great because the oldest 2 were HUGE helpers. I am now pregnant with my 4th. My 3rd and 4th will be 21/22 months apart. And my oldest 2 will be in school. So it’s going to be interesting to see how it goes.

@buddiesdog 3 месяца назад

I have a 2.5 year old and an 8 month old. I personally found going out with 2 kids during the newborn stage fairly easy because baby just slept the entire time. I also did a lot of baby wearing. It got harder once he was out of the newborn stage and took regular naps. Now that he's bigger and sitting independently it's getting easier again to go out with the 2 of them because I can put him in the cart or in a stroller more easily.

@cherylmark1503 3 месяца назад

@fionashaw9097 3 месяца назад

Not sure what set up you have, but for pumping in the night I highly recommend getting a huge pile of pump parts and a mini fridge that you keep in your room. That way you can sit up in bed, pump, put the milk in the fridge in the pump bottle, pump parts in a bowl, and back to sleep - you hardly have to wake up at all.

But I also keep hearing that it goes way better than you're expecting before you're living in those moments so I guess we'll see what happens!!

Here's a hack for leaking that has done wonders for me; do not take the stickers off the nursing pads, put a little nipple cream on then the pad on without sticking it to your bra and it should stay on your nipple. I never leak any more and the first month I was constantly soaked, my shirts, bras, etc. I would have to do 2 laundry loads per day and it was stressful, and this is amazing. It keeps me dry during sleep, which I didn't think was possible in the beginning.

There is something to be said about our reaction to crying as humans, once we understand that sometimes babies just cry, and there is nothing you can do about it, and that it doesn't make you a bad parent, that really makes a difference. Not sure if this is a hot take, or if I am just off base, but we need to be more understanding of parents with children who are crying.
