In today's vlog we hang out at home, take a trip to Target, dye some Easter eggs, eat some Olive Garden take away and talk about how were doing now that baby Oliver is almost one month old. Spoiler alert: it's hard lol. We knew it would be but we wanted to talk about how we're feeling and the realities of going from 1 child to 2. We hope that talking about this can help at least one person in some way, thank you for giving us this space to talk about those feelings. Thank you for spending time with us at home and thank you for watching, we'll see you tomorrow with a new vid!

The biggest tip that helped the most help for us with 2 is not blaming the baby for making him wait for things, and also tell the baby he needs to wait sometimes in front of Jackson. “Oliver i’m with Jackson right now” “Oliver lets be quiet Jackson is talking” sounds silly but GAME CHANGER

when Oliver is a little older we need a series where Jenn picks what you do at the parks. Can make it a date night, A nice vlog, And you get to do all the fun things your missing. I'm only 21 so i can't imagine what you guys are going through but you got this! Keep all the love and positivity and you will continue to grow as a person and kick even more butt than your doing right now.

@mlou4444 Год назад

Speaking as a Kindergarten teacher for 16 years, I think it's great to let kids learn to lose at home with you. I have so many students where adults, with the very best of intentions, change the rules so their child never loses or is upset. Then they get to school and have an absolute meltdown when they lose a game with their friends. It's just too important to them. The sooner they learn winning and losing are a part of life and it's not a big deal either way, the easier the transition is. You're doing a great job! I always feel bad about how much pressure parents put on themselves to do things the "right" way. There are lots of different pathways to get to the same destination. One day this will just be "remember that time we got through that, that was crazy!"

First off let me just say you are killing it Jenn! Mothers never get the credit and the recognition that they deserve but one day a year! I couldn’t imagine everything that you have on your plate along with the daily duties you have going on, having to be a mom, a wife, a video editor, a chef, a cleaner, the laundry lady, so basically Wonder Woman! My heart really goes out to you! I really appreciate your openness and vulnerability with all of us. Even though reality is you are talking to a camera, we are here listening to you, and trying our best to empathize with you! Please never apologize for not having a video up or needing to take a day for a break to recoup and handle the daily stresses that come your way. Those that care about you and your family will always be here when you have the spare moment to join us! YOU ALL ARE DOING GREAT TRACKERS! We applaud and stand behind you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

When you’re in the middle of so much, working from home (which is by no means easy,) having a newborn and toddler, staying home 24/7, is not easy. Your feelings are completely legitimate and not silly whatsoever. It’s super stressful, and knowing that behind the scenes, it’s not perfect, but you and Tim are both doing the best you can, and that is killing it! Hang in there and know your friends & family, viewers, and the universe are sending positive vibes, love, and hugs!!! ❤❤❤

Jackson (with his food struggles) is likely trying to find a way to control something in his life as he adapts to change. Earlier, someone suggested giving Jackson a choice between two (available) foods. He can choose one of what is offered, not just have an open "what do you want". Maybe that will help. You guys are wonderful parents.

@dottyauriemmo400 Год назад

My son was a very picky eater. We tried the two option idea and it was a game changer. I think he felt like he had a little control. It just made dinner time after a long day so much more tolerable.

Jenn, as someone who struggled with ppd and ppa I just want to remind you and tim to review signs of ppd and reach out to your Dr. You guys were my lifeline when I was deep in the trenches and glued to the couch and pump 20 hours a day. When I felt like a failure I could see y'all thriving with a baby just a few months older than mine and it gave me hope. Remember this time is so short, and that's bittersweet but you're gonna get yourself back! I hope you can schedule time with some friends or go get a massage or something. You've got so many people rooting you on.

@JennyCoe Год назад

Jenn, I'm glad you're discussing the hard parts because it can feel incredibly isolating when you're home alone and looking at other people's Instagrams and social media. It always feels like you're not measuring up. You definitely are! There are always going to be days when the baby's crying, the toddler's pushing your buttons, and everything feels a mess. It's okay. Rough days makes the good days feel even better. With Jackson getting into the picky phase, it's definitely going to add another layer of challenge but give him 2 options at meals of things you have on hand and you guys will get through it. ("You can have chicken nuggets or a grilled cheese. Taco is not on the menu") For toddlers, too many choices is as bad as no choices at all.

Jenn, these are the longest, loneliest, most isolating days. You are doing such hard work and it’s also so hard to feel like you can’t accomplish anything because you’re caring for Oliver. A shower feels like a major win, you get time alone! All I can say is that this WILL pass, routine will come together, you WILL find you itself again and your body will be yours again. Keep going, you’re really doing the hardest job and your babies are GREAT, this too shall pass. No, for real, it really does. ❤😊

Being mom to both a toddler and newborn is the hardest job in the world both emotionally and physically. It’s overwhelming. The best thing I ever did when mine were young is to schedule “me” time, even though I had every excuse in the world I couldn’t because I was too busy, just even pumping ahead of time having someone watch the baby and going to the parks for a couple hours or getting a massage or just going out to lunch with friends makes a world of difference.

My oldest was 1.5 years old and I was like 2 or 3 week into staying at home with them and I just burst into tears. I was like I'm just exhausted and never sleep and I didn't know what to do. My mom drove me home and had me nap while she watched the girls. You are doing amazing and it's such a big transition, give yourself some grace. I know almost all if not all the viewers completely understand and would rather you take the days yall need than feel overwhelmed.

This is so true. I always feel worse at my 6 week appointment.

@christenbuckler812 Год назад

JENN! Yes!!!!! More parents need to say these things. ♥️♥️♥️

@jacquelinezoccolillo9808 Год назад

Jenn you are so STRONG!!!!! By being honest and vulnerable about what you feel is your shortcomings is such a strong thing. ANY PERSON who keeps another person alive is “KILLING IT”!!!!! But where you are even more exceptional, is that you air it all and allow us to see it all (and judge it all). Praying for your continued strength and hoping there are MANY more “fantastic”days than “rough” ones.

Awe Jenn, I never hardly comment…I’ve been watching for 6 years and I felt I need to tell you both and Jackson, that your feelings are okay, they’re real, it is all okay. Thanks for sharing. You can only do one task at a time. As long as your family is feed, warm and safe, you are Killing it. GET A HOUSE Cleaner! When the house cleaner is there, pick a room and you and the kids camp out with the door shut….it’s okay! ❤

@beekind1940 Год назад

Jenn, your transparency about what real life is like really helps other moms and dads who are in the same chapter of life. You are a treasure.

@carlygee8866 Год назад

Jackson's emotions are super valid and totally normal developmentally I'm glad you guys are supporting him navigating this new change its a big transition!

@meredithladdison2989 Год назад

Your vulnerability is so touching. I cried with you. All of us moms have those days that we struggle with and don’t feel great about ourselves. Thank you for sharing. You are killing it because you are honest and open. Keep doing what you are doing and don’t be afraid to cry-it definitely helps.

Oliver's grumpy face in his car seat had me in stitches 🤣 7:27

That was a real face of disapproval, wasn’t it 😂

@nikkijohns3868 Год назад

It’s been many years since my 2nd child was born but I can still remember how hard it was. Trying to get a toddler to sleep while explaining that the baby isn’t staying up and she’s going to sleep soon too. Totally forgetting what your partner looks like as you both try to deal with a child each. It definitely gets easier and you’re doing an amazing job ♥️♥️

@lorettastone91 Год назад

There is absolutely nothing to apologize for with being open and honest with what you’re feeling. I struggled with postpartum depression & anxiety after my son was born. The best decision I made was talking with my dr. I wanted to be the best mother possible to my son and enjoy my new beautiful life . Don’t blame yourself ; you’re killing it! Thank you for having such an awesome channel, I have enjoyed watching you guys for years. All the best!

@samryan8948 Год назад

Hearing Jenn say that you are doing great right now means so much to me. This was probably the most motivating video and I am thankful that I watch you guys. Thank you so much

@tonip.3251 Год назад

You are so right, Jackson! The purpose of the waffle is to give us a way to eat butter😊

@JohnAJohnson Год назад

You guys are great. I'm sure those parents out there appreciate your transparency. You guys are such good parents, its a pleasure to watch. I'm sure most wish they grew up with that type of support...even getting to choose what you ate for dinner doesn't happen in most families. Keep it up ;)

@douglaswild3852 Год назад

Your honesty is refreshing. Hang in there and be kind to yourself. 💗

@hillarycopeland1973 Год назад

Sweet Jenn 💕 sending you hugs. I wish I was there to help you with those household chores so you could relax. Thank you for being authentic. It truly is so hard and not enough people talk about it. The mom guilt, sometimes anger, guilty for getting angry and overwhelmed. You are in my thoughts. I’ve been watching for about 10 years now and have enjoyed seeing you guys become a family ❤ my 8 year old son loves watching Jackson and now Oliver. My husband and I joke a lot “dang we wish we were Jackson”. He is so loved by y’all it is clear!

@samanthaquebec6247 Год назад

All of us mom have those days. You are rocking it.

@lauram3620 Год назад

Jen, I feel you! My kids are much older (15 and 9) and I still have those days. I totally agree, sometimes you gotta take your wins where you can get them. Parenting is a wild ride. Don’t be afraid to ignore a chore for some you time, it’s just as important if not more so. Sending all the good vibes!

@lisafelix5848 Год назад

Thank you for your honesty. This is why I love watching your channel….you both are so genuine. Never feel you have to apologize to us because you are having a rough day and not able to film. You are knocking it out of the park as a parent (as is Tim) because you wake up each day with your children being your first priority. We all have rough and emotional days. Know we will get through it the best we can. ❤❤.

@alisongriffiths5836 Год назад

Your honesty is admirable, Jenn❤️Take it one day at a time, it’s a big adjustment to go from a family of 3 to a family of 4. You got this🥰

@thisqueencancook Год назад

❤❤❤❤❤❤take it easy you guys!!! Your audience(including myself) is "ride or die" strong...... and so are y'all!! Take your time!!!! We are all here to lift you up and support you......... just like y'all do for us❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #keepswimming

@heidiblondieprincess6814 Год назад

Awe Jen, I wish I could reach through the screen and give you a big hug. It will be ok and you’ll be out doing fun things as well very soon. You’re doing a great job don’t ever doubt yourself sending virtual big hugs instead ❤❤

@dmjosh86 Год назад

My wife and I appreciate your honesty. Just remember we’re all imperfect and we’re all just trying our best. We appreciate you guys

@SimplelilSteph Год назад

Jen!!!! I can’t thank you enough for being so open about your emotions and sharing your personal feelings with us. Mental health is so important and I feel as though it’s not talked about enough. I appreciate you for being brave and talking about your struggles with us. And as a single mama of a 2 year old girl, I really appreciated you telling us that we’re all killin it out here too. I hope your bad days are few and far between!! Much love to you all

@louisegalczynski5902 Год назад

Ahh big hugs to all of you - it must be incredibly tough and your body is doing amazing things and still healing from the birth. Never apologise for not putting up a video - we all know what you’re coping with. Hopefully everyone will fall into a routine soon and Jackson will get used to being an older brother. I think you’re all amazing ❤

@Kim-dw6gu Год назад

I think you’re also doing something VERY healthy by talking it out. Sending you well wishes

@carlahall6586 Год назад

Jenn, you're amazing and you ARE killing it. Thank you for being so open about your emotions. My favorite thing to say when going through it is that two things can be true. You can be happy to stay at home to take care of Oliver but have all the FOMO. I'm definitely look forward to seeing Jenn's first day back at the parks, but I love the home vlogs just the same.

@LetsMakeSomeMagic Год назад

Hey Jenn, I just wanted to say thank you for being my "mom friend" today. I was feeling incredibly isolated and like I didn't have a pal in the world this morning. I struggled to find the gumption to keep pushing through the day today. I put on this particular vlog in the background while I made my toddler his lunch (which he then proceeded to throw onto the kitchen floor) and it was actually kind of refreshing to know that I wasn't alone. A lot of people only show the "pretty side" of parenting. So thank you for making me feel like I wasn't alone today. I hope that your days do get easier real soon. I can absolutely relate to lack of personal time. It's been over a year now and I feel like the only time I'm ALONE, is when I grab milk and eggs from the corner store. I only have the one kiddo so far, so I can hardly imagine how tough some days can get. Sending love and rooting for you from Canada! - Cheryl

@sierrastarcher016 Год назад

I haven’t become a mom yet, but just from what I see in your blogs you’re doing great. Always marking little victories (even if it’s only one thing like a chore) helps you feel accomplished and like you’re trying your best. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤️❤️

@chantellsimmons9926 Год назад

Good morning from Canada 💗 I just wanted to say that Jenn is an amazing Mom, and all any of us can do is our best. It’s tough… going from one to two kids is not easy and there are definitely bad days. Being there for each other and listening without judgement helps so much🌸🌸🌸🌸 Sending all the mommas out there and Jenn specifically, a huge hug! We’ve got this xo

@francesbauer4683 Год назад

Jen....you are the best!! Here you are helping others feel good about themselves when you are feeling down yourself. Give yourself all the time you need to get your strength and stamina back. Having a baby and a toddler is not for the faint of heart!!! Even on hard days, your boys have a loving, caring Mom ❤️. Know that you have a lot of people thinking of you and sending hugs.
