Life As A New Mom | November Vlog 

I love how you can tell that Jenn's family loves sharing Korean culture with Ben because he is so appreciative and respectful and curious about it.

I was like "who is that teenager walking down the stairs behind Jenn" and then I remembered your mum has some amazing youthful genes 🤣 You guys are so cute to me, you look like twins 😍

Ngl teared up when Ben said that this was exactly the way he wanted to spend his birthday :') you have a beautiful little family and it was so sweet to see your family meet Lennon!

It's so beautiful to see 3 generations of your family celebrating ben's birthday... circle of life... this video has been so heart warming and lovely to watch. Lennon is so cute. Becoming a mother is something that really scares me for some reason, but seeing you so bravely go through all these changes and seeing all the love that Lennon has brought to your family, I don't feel so scared anymore. I send you guys love with all my heart

Dear Jenn, As a mother of 2 with little help, I was desperately searching for routine because I feel like it would help me make sense of everything. Order in chaos. In truth, every child is different and they are going through transitions just like you. Every 6 months or so, their routine will change. They will start sleeping longer at night at 6 month old, then God forbid they get sick, and boom, sleep pattern needs to be re-established. Just take it month-by-month, and read about their developmental milestones is what helps me the most. When they are teething, when they recognize faces and etc. This is the slowest and fastest journey rolled into one. Just enjoy the journey! Thank you for sharing some raw emotions about this phase of your life!

It's so heartwarming as a long-time follower to get to see you grow into this new chapter of your life🤍🤍🤍 (also, as an autistic person myself, I'd say "autistic people" is actually right. People in the community seem to prefer it rather than people "with" autism).

She said “It’s like my body did a software update” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 dead ☠️ Jen your seriously the best! The most real, raw, honest and sweet amazing young momma! ♥️ the video

As a teen, these vlogs teach me so much and really normalize motherhood, which is one of my dreams. Thank you for making it so accessible 🥰❤️

Yes. Your routine will change as his needs will change. I will never say "it gets easier"...it gets different. All stages of being a human is a challenge. As more people get involved in his life...schools, actives, etc. there will be a level of social dynamics that will be fantastic and so crappy as well. Social Media...I am so glad I did not grow up with this.

Not me crying over my bowl of pasta when grandma was explaining how she made the tiny slippers 🥺😭

The part of the video when your grandma was describing how she made the shoes made me cry! My great grandmother recently passed away and it breaks me that she won’t be here for when I have kids. But it makes me so happy to see you have so much love and support! That little baby boy is so loved and cared for!!! Thanks for taking us on this journey with u Jenn 🥺🥺🥺🤍

I love Ben’s enthusiasm. So refreshing! He’s the best gift receiver!! I wish I could have this family life, but that season of possibility has come and gone. 🥺

5:55 to answer your question (as a mama of boys, a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old) A routine for us was able to develop when the little ones were able to get on a more steady sleep schedule, when their routine was more predictable. Around 3 months is when it happened for us with our first boy. (don't get me started on finding a schedule when you have 2! haha Still trying to figure that one out) You'll find your groove ;) You're such a good present, self aware, ever growing mama! The journey is part of the fun as hard as it may be! sending love and support for your little fam!

I always appreciate your candid and transparent representations of everyday life. Much love to you and your lil' family 🥰

Your baby is so cute and you are a beautiful and great mom💖

As a first time mom, I think getting a routine comes with time. As the baby grows each month, each month I brought a few things back into my routine. The 4th trimester is just survival. Thank you for showing us Lennon. Hope you are doing well. Lennon is growing wonderfully. I'm glad you are taking time for yourself, mama!

I really relate to what you said about changing as a mother becoming less type A and more flexible. Kids really stretch you out to experience more and experience better in the moment and on the fly, it’s pretty amazing. I’ve grown so much as a human from those everyday challenges to slow down and be free in my day. I have five kids and I’m just a year out from my fifth baby, but in my early 30s. Rather than routine, I prefer the word rhythm. We have a rhythm to our day, filled with what needs to be done but not a specific time it needs to be done in and that helps us to be flexible, especially with homeschooling and having so many kids/baby. Babies’ needs and schedules change so often in the first year and as I’ve had more children I’m so glad I’ve not forced myself or my baby to follow a strict schedule. We nurse when baby is hungry, we nap when baby is showing signs of tiredness or falls asleep in the carrier, we work around baby’s needs which are all do-able in a baby carrier and they sleep longer, have easier access to breastfeed as I’m getting work done and taking care of other kids. It is easier now as nursing and naps happen less often after a year, it will probably be easier for you once you understand how long Lennon can go between naps to fit things into those periods, even when you’re alone. The sacrifice of certain routines we held previously are WORTH IT for the new rhythms we practice together. SO worth it. It’s that round trip thing you mentioned! I’m so glad you have your mom to help you and that you’re taking care of yourself so well mentally and physically in the fourth trimester. You prepared well, now enjoy your baby to the fullest as you already are! These days are long but months/years are so very short.

I cried when he said “this is exactly how I would like to spend it. With my family”

This is so heartwarming to watch, Jenn! Thank you for sharing snippets of your life with your family. It's reassuring for those of us out there who are thinking of starting families of our own! Sending lots of love to you, Ben, and Lennon!

You’re so lucky to have Ben and your mom. My heart goes out to women who have to do this on their own. I can’t imagine how difficult that could be!

I’ve literally teared up watching you and Ben being so sweet together and the fact Lennon gets to grow up with parents who just genuinely love each other. Xoxo

jenn's beauty is timeless. imagine being a great mom , lovable wife and a kind human being

I love seeing you grow as a mom, Jenn. I have a 2 year old and it’s hard to say when I got back into a routine because our babies will always be changing, especially their sleep schedules and personalities. The moment you feel like you’ve got a routine down, it completely changes the following week or month and you’re back to figuring out what works for you, baby, and your partner. What helped me is accepting that i may never have my routine back & instead, learning that life is just about adapting. As long as I can incorporate some semblance of me-time in the day through journaling, meditating, moving, it helps, even if it’s not a routine & like you said, always give yourself compassion bc parenting is difficult and NO ONE has it figured out, we all learn along the way & enjoy the moments as much as we can bc they will never be this little again. As he gets older, you do get more sleep (and then they have sleep regressions later on but eventually they sleep through the night again) so that’s something to look forward to 😅 Best of luck to you and Ben, you are doing great and us moms have been there/going through it with you 🤍

The part where you talk about how you smell him on lennon and how him smell you on lennon and how cheeky can sense that made me teared up.it sounded like another definition for love❤️

i have been LOVING ben’s spilling the tea videos! kudos to both of you for continuing to challenge yourself and expand your reach despite having a newborn 🖤

Beautiful scene of your extended family. Mom of a 4yr old and a 2 yr old here - yes, you do settle into a routine and you change it every few months for the first few years with new changes (dropping naps, adding a sibling, etc.) sounds overwhelming but it’s not. I would absolutely say the hardest part thus far was the first few weeks with first baby. You seem to be very gentle with yourself which is great.

always so great seeing the IMs treat Ben so well as a member of the family! i mean celebrating his birthday with jenn's grandparents? come ON! how it should be!!

Ben is so simple & appreciative. A new hat makes him so happy!! My heart warms

Jenn, I’ve been a follower since I came across your Clothesencounter channel because I just loved all your eye makeup looks then I began to love just being part of your community and watching you meeting Ben, moving back to LA, living through your long distance relationship with Ben, your engagement, vlogs, your book recommendations, travels, wedding.. now your growing family…. I don’t know why but I feel so proud to witness you going through life changes…. As I suspected you are doing amazing and you are very lucky to have amazing support around you! Best wishes and love!

Those blue shoes are made with love. 💙😊

There is such a sweetness in your family, I swear it brings me so much warmth just seeing you interact with everyone that is close to you. I don't know what it was but I started crying when your family came to see Lennon and how beautifully everyone molds around a newborn. God, I loved this video, thank you for bringing the experience of motherhood to the front and helping us see the realities and the life behind it:,)

12:40 I'm not crying... So much love from grandma! 🥰

My heart just melts so much now

“With my family.” 🥺 Wholesome. ❤️

Minute 13, you’re surrounded by the best and most loving people! So blessed!

Sending you love and hugs 🥰❤️ It is really so precious seeing Lennon! Thank you for letting us be part of this beautiful journey!! Jenn, you and ben are doing great as parents!! ❤️ really so proud!!!

everyone in ur family is so beautiful 🥺

Really love how you used person first and identity first language when describing the show. You don't realize how many people appreciate that!

i love me some shimmery good ass jewelry 😩🤚🏽 this was a cute vlog. happy bday to ben!

Jenn when you announced your pregnancy I couldn’t believe it because I relate so much to you. I personally don’t know if I want kids similar to how you were feeling when you found out you were pregnant. But watching you go into motherhood and become an amazing mommy gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world ❤️.

This new life looks so good on you, Jenn! You are glowing and are killing it with balancing your own needs, Lennon's, and even Cheeki's. I'm so happy for you all :' )

I find her video's so calming that it relaxes me down when i feel overwhelmed

This video brought me to tears! So sweet and heartwarming. I started following you as ClothesEncounters back in like 2010 and seeing where you are today makes me SO PROUD and happy for you!! I love how your family takes Ben in so earnestly, the beautiful dynamic you and Ben have with your Mom, and the love that surrounds yall in general. You can almost see it glowing! I especially loved seeing a lil extra Cheeki today! She's just so adorable. 🥺 I wish you all the joy and love in the world. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🥰

I always look forward to watching your vlogs each week Jenn. May you, Ben and Lennon stay happy and stay blessed for eternity!

Hi Jenn! I’m currently a FTM with a 1 month old newborn. I just wanted to let you know that your vlogs seriously have saved me, not only when I was going through my pregnancy but right now as well with postpartum life. Knowing that someone can relate and share in your experiences & thoughts really helps you feel less alone. You’re doing such a great job with Lennon and you are an amazing mother, always remember that! Especially on the really hard days. Sending you, Ben and Lennon all the love 💙

Jenn you don’t have to apologize for the frame because all your doing is your task/job, and you don’t have to be srry for that. I’m so happy for this new chapter for your family 🤍🤍🤍

Appa's falsetto has me cackling!! LOL Love it!

Thank you, Jenn! It's wonderful to see how far you've come as a person, a mother and a family! It's also lovely to see your other relatives together! Sending lots of love back to all of you!

Jenn, you’re videos are so refreshing and help me keep thinking positive. It’s crazy how I used to watch you way back and now I have a little one like you. She’s almost 2 weeks now and she makes me so happy. I wish all the best for you😊

It’s so good to see more of Lennon now and looking forward to see more of this little cutie! So blessed your mum and Lennon are taking shifts with you to help look after Lennon so that you still can have some free time to yourself! It’s just so important for mums to have ‘me time’. Loving the design of the tea packaging by the way!

I love how beautiful minded jenn and her family is it really does inspire in soo many aspects watching Jenn’s videos seems like a warm blanket to me so much comfort

Not me crying seeing your family meet your son. 🥰 He is perfect. You are doing amazing Momma!

absolutely enjoyed this video! thank you for sharing with us your journey into motherhood. it’s so inspiring to watch you embrace change, and take on all the challenges that you’re facing!!! sending the most love to your wonderful family 🤍

Aww Jenn! Watching your vlogs is the equivalent of watching a feel-good movie. Love to see you, Ben, Cheeki, and baby Lennon doing so well 🥰

Your family’s a dream 💕 It really warms my heart to see your videos. Much love to you and your family, Jenn! ❤️

Wish u n Ben plus cheeky + lennon a blessed healthy n happy life

Your routine will change every 3 months until Lennon is going to a pre school. So excited, i watched you since i was in uni, and now im a mom of toddler.

You have such a way with explaining things I just love listening to you! You are doing amazing and having family help is such a blessing!! As you may know it takes a good few months to feel almost normal but it'll be your new normal and a new you and it'll be beautiful!

You’ll make such a great mom your personality is so caring and your always there for people-and your very thoughtful 💜been here since day one your account grew so much I’m so proud of you

I’m 18 y.o now and following you since i was 13 ! I grew up with you and learned a lot from you ! Lenon is lucky to have you and Ben with him 🤍 bless you all ✨

As a fellow dog mom, I'm happy to see Cheeki getting some quality time in this video :) This is kind of random but it would be so fun to see a 'day in the life' of Cheeki as a new sister video!

I honestly can't believe how many videos you're still pumping out while in your new mom phase. Always love your videos and appreciate how much work you're putting in, but also hope that you're taking time for yourself and your family as much as you need! But I love that we can see Lennon's facial features as he's growing and omg he is the most beautiful little boy 😍🥺

You're doing a wonderful job, Jenn. Lennon is extremely blessed to have you as his momma! Also still killing the vlog/video game 💪🥰

Jenn! I love and appreciate all your new momma and baby content! I’m expecting a baby boy in March and have so much anxiety, but your content is helping me a lot in just preparing myself.

Every time I watch you all I want to cry. The love just bursts through the screen. Thank you for sharing such authenticity. 💜

it's so nice to watch you getting old with your loves ❤️

This video is so calming to watch! I love you video jenn and congratulations to you and ben! best way for me to wind down after a busy week of school/ work. Having you show us your raw side is why I love watching you, you're so natural and its so relaxing!

Y'all are such a freaking beautiful family! Y'all got over here tearing up at your wholesomeness!!💛💛💛😭😭

This is so wholesome,Jenn! Glad you’re having such peaceful moments :)

I feel very proud to see you as a MOM.....Love for you and your precious little bundle of joy!!!

Why is this the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen😭 😭 😭 love you, your little family, and your videos Jenn 💕 just wanted to say that you’re doing a wonderful job transitioning life and you deserve the credits!! You’re always a motivation and watching blog videos like this soothes my mind. Sending loves to your family 🥰

you guys are so perfect, it makes my heart happy. And you're doing so amazing as a mother Jenn!!! proud of you

For us a routine started around 4 months with regular nap schedules 9am, 12, 3pm and then bed at 6. Just follow your babies lead and you will naturally find yourself getting into a routine 😌 sending love, it’s so heart warming watching you go into this new chapter and I love how you keep it realistic for the viewers 💕

I just can't! Your videos warm my heart 😌😌

GIRL please link the hot tea infuser bottle o: so cute!!!! (Also so happy for you in this new and beautiful era of your life 🥺🤍)

I have an 18 month old and we got into somewhat of a routine around the 4 month mark because I went back to work so we needed it. Honestly, my daughter just consistently started sleeping through the night for the last month and I feel somewhat normal again in regards to sleep and because I just stopped nursing last month also. It’s different for everyone but I can say it will pass and feel like it flew by even though when you’re in the middle, it’s the longest day or night ever because of how tired you are. You’re doing amazing!

Im loving these vlogs.Its so wholesome to see!Jenn is literally glowing.

I'm so happy that you are well, you really give me good vibes at every video. Send you all the best wishes and i hope your lil family grows well and stronger than now. Take care! 💕

Seeing you guys transition into this chapter makes me tear up😭 so happy for you guys🤍 sending strength your way!

I love this new person you’ve become. I’ve watched you throughout the years and at times would not be able to relate because of your type A personality. I felt like I wasn’t doing enough but I understand how silly that is haha. You’re awesome.

These vlogs are helping me mentally as I am preparing for triplets and I am freaking out!

I’m just so so happy for you 🤍 seeing you grow into this beautiful mom has been a pleasure, wish you all the best things ❤️

Thank you for uploading Jenn!! 😭I am not a mom but the new chapter in your life encourages me so much as I am still in the process of being a young adult who has new responsibilities. Your vlogs are a bundle of joy!! Sending love from PH. 🤍
