How I’m Really Doing… Q&A | The 2-3 Transition, Potty Training, Mental Health, Sex + More 

“I can’t sit until my house is in order” is so relatable and is honestly a blessing and a curse 😂

Thank you for your light! Seriously! I’m in the trenches of two kids, one toddler and a four month old and it is HARD for me right now. Connecting with you as a mother in postpartum is refreshing and life giving. Thank you for sharing your testimony of knowing that with gods grace we as mothers are infinitely more capable!

We have a 2 year old and a newborn and it's hard to find time for the 2 of us or just do something as a family with our other family members who don't have children or have 8-10 years old children. It must be very chaotic for you and you must be very tired but I can just imagine them being like 3-5 years old and playing together and having so much fun. It's the hardest it's ever going to be for you. It's all worth it when you watch them grow and be friends

I am in the trenches of the first trimester with no. 2 at the moment and my little girl has been so sweet and honestly makes resting so easy( as easy as a toddler can) but I definitely wonder how I am going to do this the number of times we hope to with the number of kids we want 😂 but then I remember how much I loved being pregnant once I left the first trimester and I’m hanging on to that and looking forward to the newborn bubble while still trying to soak up my daughter while its just the two of us! Your videos are always such a good reminder that seasons are just seasons!

I was the same way about my first baby with not holding him enough and now feeling badly about it. I held my second and third a lot more. It is beautiful what you said about how you are getting through things due to your relationship with Jesus. That's wonderful.

I am currently pregnant with my 3rd baby! I have 2 boys and I am now having a girl 🥰 I’m also a Christian so this video was really nice to watch!

I definitely needed this video. Same age gaps as your kiddos, our third will be here in 2 months. I’ve been so SO anxious about how things will go postpartum - but seeing you so calm and confident in the Lord just refreshed my soul. ♥️

Feels so special to watch this while I’m rocking my 7 week old for her nap 😊 not many of my friends (okay none) can be with me in these quiet moments, so it’s fun to have a buddy with me chatting in this season. Appreciate you!

Glad to hear your perspective. Especially as I'm sure you need a break from a baby every year, as amazing as the sibling friendship is.

Enjoyed the video very much!❤

I love how you shared about talking to Holy Spirit to guide you through the challenges of everyday momming! Barely any time to sit down and just be in the Word. So this is very relatable!!

Hey Beth! New subscriber here! Love your channel and all that you represent! You are such a kind hearted person and a wonderful mom! 😊

Completely agree, a good carrier with 2 under 2 is a MUST! I have no idea what would I do without it. So, if you want to have your kids close in age, definitely find a good carrier

Lovely video Beth, you just seem like such a sweet person, I know exactly what you mean about the heartbreak of her potentially being your last baby. I just had my “last” baby, she’s 3 months old. I have a 2.5 year old son also, I feel so lucky to have got my boy and my girl, I have a lot of reasons why I feel I need to close this chapter but I think my heart will always wonder about that third. My postpartum baby blues were very intensified by the idea of her being my last baby. On the other hand, I remember just before I got pregnant with my baby girl, I took some convincing to get pregnant again as I was content with my son and was enjoying things getting a bit easier. I have hope that that closure may come with time. I also worry about ensuring the children I do have get as much as attention from me as possible as they will eventually grow in to adults with their own lives and complexities (hopefully nothing too intense). Good luck with everything you seem to be doing amazing 💖

I have the Mabe carrier too, and the bottom band is adjustable!! In the video it looks like you have it at the widest point. It can be in-velcro'd and scorched in and re-Velcro'd! Still might be tricky with a newborn but anyway try cinching it in! It really helps!

My first two are 13 months apart and I totally agree with what you’re saying about them being so little that they’re more adaptable! Now my boys are 6 and 5 and baby boy #3 arrives any day now. I’m curious to see how the big brothers do! I’m hopeful but prepared for jealousy.

I feel like we have so much in common! My youngest is 5 weeks old and I have three under three too 😊 I totally agree about two kids feeling so easy now especially if I only have the oldest and youngest 😂

Yay! ❤

I have no fewer than 300 videos in my watch later, but yet I saw that you put a video out and clicked immediately! You're one of my favorite RU-vidrs!

Would love a video specifically about what your work is like doing freelance marketing, I think so many moms would be interested in a way to provide income without having to leave kids

Like you, my first 2 are close in age and buddied up right away. It made having a 3rd really easy. We had our 4th with a bigger gap (not by choice) and it has been a lot harder because my 3rd was used to being the baby. We really wanted to give them a buddy like the first pair have, but it didn't happen and the 3rd and 4th are more at odds than we'd like. Long story short, I think it would be ideal to have two pairs close in age. Just my two cents!

I agree with the spacing, but not complete family yet. Our third was born just 6 days after our oldest turned 3. We know there’s a fourth, but we’re in a crazy stage of life this summer 😵‍💫 Close in age is so fun though.

The band on the carrier scrunches inwards for newborns :) you just have to un-Velcro the band and scrunch it smaller! Hope that helps ❤

Have u tried standing diaper changes to help potty train

Next make a vlog on how to put a newborn to sleep from crying to falling asleep, thanks

Do you lock your kids in their room for quiet time? Mine comes out every 5 minutes it’s exhausting!

When is the potty training addressed ?

So sad about your first child and not holding her enough/sleep training 😢
