It was so emotional seeing you so vulnerable, Devin. No cracking jokes. No funny faces. Just real, raw emotion, especially when you whispered to Hunter "I'm scared." That took me out! And then seeing Hunter being strong for you but equally as vulnerable. It was just all so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us ❤
They have milked this pregnancy every single day. So weird when she took out the long hair and the long fingernails. I was expecting her to then take out her teeth and her leg. She put make up on midway through labour. What will be interesting is what will they use for videos now?? They are not interesting at all.@mariewood9239
When she was praying/reading over you/y'all I could feel the peacefulness. It was so beautiful. Her voice/tone was definitely the right one. I've said this in many of y'all's videos y'all are that couple, the love between y'all, the compassion, the just being there for each other is so beautiful. God knew what He was doing when y'all got together. P.S. The kiddos are so lucky to have y'all for parents.
Such an amazing birth story. So proud of you Devin! I had a similar experience with supposed to be going in to be induced the next day but I didn't want to. I asked my friend to pray and few mins later my water broke. I went in that night. God is so good!
I did not know about the shakes until I watched my sister give birth to her first child! Crazy. I love how your doula was telling you not to fight it. That was very educational!
I love how you mention pain with a purpose. It's so different from other types of pain. I've had 3 babies and my last I delivered early (but complications so it was rough) and I can still say as someone who gets kidney stones I'd go through 10 births over one stone. Lol. Pain that doesn't have a purpose is much scarier and you just know it's "wrong". I never felt that wrongness when in labor. Tired of the pain, exhausted, wanting it over asap, sure, but it's very different when the pain is there for a reason and it's the normal process. I hope this helps some expectant mommies to not worry so much. ❤️
This does help, thank you! I’m past my due date and going to give birth any day now, and as someone who has had kidney stones twice during pregnancy, this gives me hope that if I can endure that, I can give birth!
@@sarahsherman5516 I bet you'll do great! I have been quite literally on the floor vomiting and banging my head into the cabinets with stone pain. My epidural failed for my second pregnancy which lasted 36 hours (no sleep). I pushed forever too and I was tired and ready to be done but I never felt that doom or panic I feel with stones. I'd have gratefully accepted death with my stones a few times. Definitely didn't feel that way during labor. It can be hard but it will end and I think your body and brain know that. With stones I think the whole body panics because something is very wrong so it's a hugely different dynamic. Hang in there! I'm sure it'll go great, and you'll be so in love after you won't even remember what it was like really. ❤️
Maybe do a day in the life with a newborn? Like how often you’re up, how often you’re snacking, how healing is going, etc! When I was a FTM I loved watching those lol
His facial features and side profile is so perfect but my word I see Ivy like crazy in him majorly. Celebrating and praising God for safe smooth delivery. I’m so proud of you both and I’m beyond thankful his sugar didn’t cause him to be out in pediatric and your sugars controllable by you. Love you guys always and never so excited to see a video until baby brewer! Then so excited
So glad everyone is home and doing great. My daughter is diabetic and wants to have children someday, so this is very educational and inspiring for me. And your family is absolutely beautiful. Love y’all!
Posterior babies are facing front. That leaves the back of baby’s head pressing on the tailbone..:hence back labor. I had 4 like that, so going hands and knees and trying to get babe to turn to face back is the best way to use gravity (his body is heaviest), in your favor. Congrats guys! Hes precious and I cried with you as he was born! We are a big ole sisterhood of mamas! ❤😊
You did great! Your hudbsnd has so much love snd respect. I finally say his tfue vulnerable side and he was the bed husband and new daddy helper for you all around. I can see how the Dulla helped. I'd never heard of that before. So proud of youd both!
With my oldest (3) i was stuck at 6cm for 11hrs (we were spin to spin). Was in labor for 41 hours. Finally got the epidural at the 36hr mark. Pushed for 2.5hrs. Tore to a 3rd nearly 4th degree she was 9lbs 8oz, in april 2021 and then did it all over again in april 2023. Still got the epidural, was in labor for 15 hours. Pushed for 26 minutes and she was 9lbs 3oz lol. Congratulations Cordle fam! He's so perfect!
As a type 1 diabetic since age 9 (I’m 32 now) hormones control our blood sugars SOO much!! Congrats on Sweet baby brewer !! He is darling & I hope your sugars even out soon♥️☺️♥️
I was an OB nurse years ago! It was my favorite thing to do, but I really dislike when people say epidurals slow down contractions because for the most part, they relax you and baby moves and you progress. Your body lets everything work the way it’s supposed to because you’re relaxed. My experience 95% of the time you progress because your body and mind is more relaxed. One more thing…you did amazing! Women are so hard on themselves. I praise you for going in with the attitude that you can do it but it’s OK to have an epidural. Absolutely right God gave you what you needed he gave you what you prayed for and what you asked for. That is beautiful! You have a healthy, happy boy and at the end that’s what matters.
I love hearing about your faith and how God has been involved in all aspects of your lives. I appreciate that and it makes it so much easier to relate to you guys.

How about Brewers health regarding his glucose levels? I remember you guys were worried about him possibly going into NICU because of the high doeses of insulin and sugar levels he was accustomed to. Love you guys❤❤
hi I'm from Finland and I've been following your channel for 4 months and Ivey is wonderful she makes me smile on sad days. I have ADHD❤🎉 and Baby is cute😊❤
Oh I loved this so much! My first is a girl and was 4 when we had our son. All of this reminded me of them. He came into the world so peacefully and his sister was and still is such a wonderful big sister. 0-1 is definitely so much harder. 2-3 was for us too because that was a 9 year gap 😮. Blessings to your beautiful family! 🥰
I went deep into birth world with my first kid I don't remember anything after a certain point (unmedicated) so it's great to hear a story and you remember everything! Congratulations 🎉❤
i’m due in october and your birthing vlog was so beautiful and brought me to tears! I can only pray my labor is half as beautiful as that! I do have a question: what did you use to count your contractions at home??
His birth was so beautiful!! You done so amazing giving birth to him❤❤ Literally God gave you your hearts desire with his birth even if it didn’t go as you planned. Girl it was so beautiful and it was definitely God that helped you get that far❤ I personally think y’all will have more kids and y’all are just absolutely amazing parents ❤❤ God put y’all together to for a reason ❤🥹🥹🥹🥹
Love you guys. So amazing and positive. I had our first child last year June and we had everything planned just for everything to go out the window and ended up with an emergency c section. But thing I learned was have a plan for not only if things go right but if they go wrong too! You guys are amazing! Love watching. Be safe! ❤
Loved this! Thank you for sharing!! Really interested in your postpartum journey - if you struggled with baby blues or PPD/ how your placenta capsules have helped/how you decided to try that, etc.!
I have to say my second son also came out so peacefully, was such a peaceful little baby and then he came out of that little baby coma...and now we call him the chaos baby 😂 he is so feral and just insane...will be interested to hear how sweet baby Brewer grows and changes!! Congratulations to your family!!
I’ve been struggling thinking about if I can handle having another baby. My son is almost 2 and is my whole world. But I struggled very much with post partum depression for a while and nervous about going through it again. I’m sure a lot of us would love more little updates about going from 1-2. ❤
With my second daughter, I was scheduled to be induced on valentine's day 2022 due to her being on the larger side; however, I went into labor naturally on Feb 4th at 37 weeks and she was born 7lbs 7 Oz. Although I had to have an emergency c-section, my second experience was calmer due to me knowing what all was going on vs. my oldest daughter. I just didn't know what to expect.
I just had my second too, 2 months ago and I feel like we both had so many similarities with our labors and baby. My second is wayyy easier than my first lol Glad everything went well for ya’ll!
I love you being faithful and being so faithful in gods favor and that u know that u were in gods hands!!! Your baby is so cute and I am so exited to see brewer grow up as the little brother!! I love that u did a Q+A about birth cause I feel like there was so much that people say about birth!!!
With my first baby I stalled at 9.5 cm for FOUR hours. I didn’t get an epidural but I sorta checked out because of the pain until it was time to push. I just had my third baby a few days ago and it was such a quick process but still very painful during pushing. The epidural is a give and take. I’ve had all my babies without an epidural but I wouldn’t call my births peaceful. They were intense! It’s all up to our preference on how we want the experience to be.
Hearing how proud you are of going to 8 cm then got a epidural, makes me proud of myself girl, I didn’t know any different and all the nurses were shocked probably because I was only 21 but I thought pain was normal lol because it is, but you know lol they never pushed an epidural on me but I knew something was wrong so I didn’t want to diminish the feeling I was feeling( it was horror) anywho all to say even though I had an extremely traumatic birth I’d do it again and this is sooo so so encouraging how darn cute you got a boy and a girl how cuuuuuuteeee
Wouldn't you want them to keep something of that baby personal! Knowing the Internet y'all will be asking for his SSN and address! Yea exploiting a baby for cash!
@@frenchy1987 are you kidding me? They were talking about his middle name before he was born. Are you saying they are exploiting Ivey too? Wow, what a way to take something nice and turn it into a federal offense.
@@sunnygal57 it should be a federal offense! Please just go and learn more about family vloggers and what it does to the kids! An what the pedos are doing with the content
I just gave birth to my first on 8/1 and if I had been in a hospital I would have gotten an epidural but I was at a birth center…. I was stuck at 9cm for FOUR HOURS, so I feel ya!
0-1 kid was easy peasy for us. Granted we had both raised a child for several years prior. I raised my ex's from newborn to 5 years old when he finally pulled her from me and told her I wasn't her real mom. So technically I became a mom at 18. That was hard, I'll say that. We were not in a place to be parents. Anyway. All I wanted was a child. All my life. Got married and got pregnant with our son. So easy. I LOVED it. 1-2 was pretty easy as well until my husband left to work out of state. I fell pregnant with number 3 when our second was only 6 months old. My husband was working in another state. Only home maybe 2-4 days a month. Horrible. A blur for me. Going from 2-3 was so so SO incredibly hard. Shew. Dad came home almost 2 years ago and never left again. Our babies are 4,5 and 8 now. Much easier but still challenging for sure. Congratulations! Y'all's family is simply beautiful
💝Happy for you guys both your little ones are so beautiful and sweet!!! SO appreciate your updates on how your sugar is doing and how the both of you navigate watching you . Because a diabetic has to have help just in case they have an extreme sugar level high or low . It can be emotional. So I really felt my heart break while you were having “HAPPY TEARS” 😢, not just new baby blues but diabetic mood swing too 💔💔, bless your heart ♥️!! Hunter has been terrific and amazing husband and dad . He is a new dad of a son now . I think he will be the best role model any boy ever had !! Much Love 💗 THANKS , by the way I don’t think I heard Brewers whole name ?
I had all back labor, and I wanted to jump out the window. It was the worst. Never got past 1 cm. Finally, I had C-section. I hated being pregnant because I couldn't keep food down for months. I went to 41 weeks and gained 63 pounds. Baby was 8-1/2 pounds, 21 inches long. I never had any more kids either.
My first was natural it was intense. My second, I labored at home for as long as I could and then got and epidural and slept until it was time to push. Best experience ever.
With my first, I was due on a Sat. my water broke the Sun. night. My Dr. wanted to induce the Mon. but because I didnt want to be induced I planned on going in the Mon morning to see if there was any progress. I went in the Sunday night as was only at a 4. Baby was born on 9:30 Mon morning. My second was due the day before my mom's birthday and selfishly I didnt want him born on her birthday. I settled on an induction a few days prior. As much as an induction helped with planning ahead for my other son to be taken care of. I kind of regret it. I feel bad like my baby maybe wasnt ready and I just forced him into the world. He was fine post birth but there was a scary second right after being out. I love my doctor but definately felt pressured into being induced both times.
I had the shakes ! I do believe the more educated you are the less anxiety you'll experience. If I would have someone explain to me the shakes were normal and I am safe... that in itself would of made a huge difference! Not to mention sometimes you gotta put oxygen on and all I was told was "your baby's heartbeat is dropping because your O2 is low" never any information to make me feel comfortable or ease my mind so yes EDUCATE EDUCATE EDUCATE yourself. Ask your Dr/Midwives/Nurses/doulas Every and any question you can think of and if they get bothered by it explain your anxiety because no healthcare professional should be offended or bothered by someone wanting Make their Labor and Delievery a stress free experience.
Congratulations on you birth and new baby bubdle! How you mentally prepare yourself for natural unmedicated labour? Did you read or listen to any coping methods like Bradley or Christian hypnobirthing or Lamaze classes? ❤
My goal was to have a natural home birth. I also got stuck at 8cm for about 6 hours. We then went to the hospital since I had been laboring for 26 hours, got an epidural and pictocin so I could sleep. When I woke up, he was ready to be born. The pain prior to the epidural was quite doable, until yeah I started feeling afraid since we weren't progressing and I was going to have to travel that way. But our little man was born vaginally, safe and healthy, also 7lbs, 5.8 ounces, 20.5 inches long.
