We got a huge surprise of learning we are having twins at 20 weeks pregnant at out first ultrasound so it was going to be a huge change for our 3 year old. I always told him about the babies and included him in hearing their heartbeats and picking things out of them. Also I got a big fun gift for him from the twins when I brought them home from the hospital and that seemed to really help out with the transition he felt very loved that they loved him enough to get him a toy. It's been 8 months now and he absolutely loves his siblings we have had no problems and I'm so thankful for that. Hopefully your transition will go smoothly!!!
I knew I needed to prepare by 38 weeks because I went into labor with my 1st at 38+2. I didn't pack deapite knowing I should and my water broke at 2am at 38 weeks exactly. I didn't realize we were doing all of the lasts. We but ly oldest to bed and next time we saw her she was meeting her sister. It is such a sweet time!
Omg the cuteness overload almost made me cry. I'm going to blame the pregnancy hormones. I'm so happy for your growing family. And the pending arrival of sweet little Baby Bo!💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙
Watched you guys all through my pregnancy and we named our 4 month old son Bodie (Bo for short), which makes it so cool that you're naming your son Bo! I'm hoping he looks just like his momma, it's only fair! Best wishes in welcoming your newest family member
All the best with delivering and welcoming baby #2!! I’m due with my first child (boy) in 6 weeks and anxiety and excitement are building up equally haha. I’m looking forward to your newborn/1st year videos as I am on a similar timeline. I’ve been really enjoying all of your videos. I’ve learned so much, so thank you for that! ❤
Thank you guys so much for the videos - I have watched many and plan to follow you along. I’m 39 weeks currently and if not popping on my own - induction next week! My hubbie and I are docs too (hospitalists). It is really nice to see your perspective. I hope more docs are willing to share their experiences with others as well :). Appreciate the videos and good luck with your new addition! ❤
Hope delivery goes well for both mama and baby. I also have 2 under 2. Even though it’s rough sometimes we wouldn’t change a thing. Cece will be such a loving sister I can already tell.
Congratulations 🎉! I am mama of two boy is 8 months old and my daughter is a little bit over 2. They 20 months apart and first months was challenging but also really rewarding. I hope everything will goes well for you guys.
Congratulations!!! You were both so helpful and informative during my first pregnancy in 2021. I loved following your first pregnancy journey alongside you. Now my daughter will also be 2 and I’m starting to warm up to the idea of baby #2. Sending well wishes for a healthy delivery, baby and recovery 💗
Congratulations! I watched your first pregnancy videos last year while pregnant with my first. I'm not quite ready for a second so I'm excited to get a glimpse of what to expect through you guys :)
I wish all the best for you guys!!! I've been following you since last year throughout my pregnancy. Now I have a 3 months old little sweet girl🥰 Your videos have helped me so much to get informed and still do! All the best for the delivery and welcoming the little boy❤
I cannot believe you are at the end of this pregnancy! I’m so happy for you guys and can’t wait to hear about how his delivery goes. I’m hoping for a second baby, we’ll see how it goes for me. But I am so excited to hear about your transition from one to two! Best wishes!!
My son just turned 1. I sort of wonder if having a newborn would be less horrible the second time around. It’s rough and I don’t think people just come out and say that enough. Good luck and congrats on your new little one!
Good luck Guys! I hope all goes well. I love you a lot and watching you from the very beginning 😍 hugs from me, hubby and our beautiful 8 month old girl ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don’t know if you’ll see this before you guys go into the hospital, but I was curious. Did you get the same breast pump this time or switch it up? We had our first little girl just after you had Cecelia so it was so helpful to follow along with your pregnancy and get a preview into what was happening next. Our baby girl is now 17 months old and we just found out I’m pregnant with number 2! I’m super excited for the newborn series. I think that will be extremely helpful for me to help jog my memory of those early days. Congratulations! Thank you for all you do and can’t wait to virtually meet baby Beau!
I’m expecting my second end of March. I’m hoping she is a good sleeper like our first daughter. Our age gap is larger between our two kids, at 6 years apart.
Cece is Kirk's twin! Best of luck to everyone for induction. I am likely being induced at 39w (end of March) with our IVF baby, so this is all so helpful!
I’m 19weeks and 4days I just found out I have to get a C-section at 32 weeks . Do you have any advice for me this will be my first baby and I’m having a boy
I'm due end of April, looking forward to your updates with your new baby! We're having a boy as well and still divided about whether to circumcise or not. What is your opinion?
Not trying to supplement the doctors' opinions here- you'll likely get some word on this next week in their leaving the hospital/first days at home video next week- but the prevailing opinion from US doctors these days tends to be that it carries very little or no medical benefit and is solely a cosmetic thing. Outside the US and some religious communities, circumcision is fairly uncommon. doctors tend not to perform them in Europe unless there is an acute reason to, for example.
Why would you induce electively!I am a product of induction for no medical reasons. I am the only child of 6 with asthma, food allergies and stomach issues. Not to mention low birth weight. Every day in the womb is adding to a healthy baby outcome. I realize in some cases this is necessary. However I'm a firm believer in letting labor begin naturally. When the baby and your body are ready. Just my personal opinion.
The arrival study. They did a video on it. 39 weeks, a baby is full term. Full term used to be considered 37 but they have changed it to 39 knowing all of the growth that still happens. So, some people feel like any longer is not necessary. Many doctors actually feel this way. And even waiting after 42 can cause it’s own issues. If she goes into labor naturally, she won’t get induced. That’s what happened with her first pregnancy.
It seems wild to me to question an evidence based medical decision with a personal opinion. Questioning an evidence based medical decision with other published studies of data, yeah. But statistically powerful peer reviewed studies vs anecdotes is such a harmful equivalence to try to make.
Congrats and best of luck to you all! Thank you for all the work you have put into your channel providing a great resource to us all! It’s a treasured resource and I appreciate you all so much!
Hi, is it a must for RH- mother to take Anti D at 28 weeks during her 1st pregnancy or its ok to take after giving birth only. As my doctor said, its first baby ever take after giving birth if baby is +
Congratulations!!! I'm getting induced next week with my first baby (IVF pregnancy) at 39 weeks. My husband and I are excited and terrified. Wishing you all the best!!!
Wow Sarah, I have been watching your series since the end of 2021 when you had Cecilia and I am currently 37w2d with baby no.1 and the baby is in transverse lie which was a big bummer since I was gearing up for natural birth...did yoga...duck walks throughout pregnancy.. learnt hypnobirthing....still having difficulty wrapping around my head that I might have a c section next week if the baby doesn't change positions. Currently trying everything out there to encourage the baby to move (ECV not done in my city at least). Hope you have a safe and amazing birth just like Cecilia's and I will be watching your newborn series. We'll really need that
My wife is doing her 39th week induction for our first baby next week! ☺️ We’ve been watching your guys videos and as soon to be first time parents I must say they have helped us so much!
Sending you lots of love for a safe delivery! I have a strong feeling he’s going to be a more calm baby /child then cece was. They really do have distinct personalities. Much love! Take care beautiful people.
Congratulations. Your videos were so amazing to have with baby #1. I'm also 38 weeks with a 16 month old and it feels nice to know we aren't the only parents excited but semi terrified of what to expect with a 2nd coming any day.
Hi y’all! Praying that you all are enjoying new baby and transitioning well. Haven’t really checked thoroughly, but do you have a video on introducing solids to babies? If so, I’ll search 👀 🔍 if not, I hope you all consider it. I would love to hear from you both on this topic. Thanks and blessings. 🙏🏽
Wishing you all the very best! Thank you for sharing your such a super cute family! :) xxx I’ve really enjoyed your videos, best wishes Vicky from England
I'm sooo excited for you two! It's almost been a year since I had my son and your videos were so helpful when I was preparing. You are the reason I had an elective 39 week induction and it was so positive and peaceful. I plan to do the same when we choose to have our next baby!
I have a scheduled c-section next week with my second child, a boy, and my daughter is almost 2 years old now. So similar and so relatable. Thank you for sharing your journey and good luck!
Oh my. I'm sitting here watching this with my one week old. My first is almost two as well and he definitely adores his brother. Wants to hold him ALL the time. Only thing I'm afraid of is the days after my husband goes back to work. He only gets two weeks and he's such help with the toddler.
I just love these doctors. They're so down to earth, informative and always smiling. I love their honesty. Thank you for the great videos! You''ve helped me get ready for my first baby over the past few months (she's due in a few weeks). 🥰
Congratulations! I hope birth #2 goes smoothly for you! I'm only a few weeks away from my first myself, and have found watching your videos very reassuring/useful! :)
I have a question. My wife is pregnant and we went for the first doctor's appointment today. The doctor said that she shouldn't do ANY exercise until 12th week. No gym, no walking, nothing. However, they didn't say any other reason that, "it may cause miscarriage". My wife has always exercised and everything seems normal (other than estrogen level was a little bit low). Do you think the doctor is simply giving bad advice?
