Wow your video just went off the rails 😔

Hi! Where did you find this dress or similar dresses?

I bottlefed my daughters. They were very easy to wean. No temper tantrums. Bottles can be hidden. Breasts can't.

Safe delivery. All prayers for you and baby❤

I like Annabelle with nickname Annie. I also love the name Katherine, but dislike Katie.

And the Minecraft shirt your son picked can always put a long sleeve shirt underneath if he wants to wear it on a colder day

I think it’s supposed to go from silver to the fun color when the sequins are flipped

Your list is super cute love Abigail here are a few more ideas Hazel, Lydia, Audrey, Stella, Violet, Lilith, Helen, Clara, Mabel, Pearl congratulations and I’m sure you’ll have fun finding the perfect name for your new bundle of joy 😊 can’t wait to see what you name her

ICYMI: Baby has been breech for weeks, and measuring very large due to my gestational diabetes. Because of this, the midwives transferred me out of their care at 36 weeks. We've had two ultrasounds since then, one that revealed baby is measuring 8lbs 6oz and was still breech. The second ultrasound showed that after a week of trying all the things, baby had finally turned head down. Unfortunately she's also grown even bigger, to the point that neither the midwives or the regular OB feel that it's safe for her to be delivered vaginally anymore. Her weight isn't the issue, but her chest to head ratio very much is and the chance of shoulder dystocia and injury to her and/or me during birth is very high now. After research, time, a million questions, and prayer, baby will now be arriving via c section at 39 weeks. This is a very terrifying and humbling experience for me. Please pray peace for Joe and I and that the surgery will be smooth and uneventful, and that our girl will be perfect on arrival and able to keep her blood sugar up without outside help ❤️ It'll be a while before I'm uploading regularly again, but I will be back!

Love your channel! Have you done or can you do a bedtime routine and/or also include how to coordinate bedtime for all the kids even with their different ages? Do they all share a room and then same bedtimes? Just curious how you make that work. 💓💓

Definitely going to use that bible set up tip!

That's way too old to begin weaning.

Get your baby or toddler their own amazing play kit here: lovevery.pxf.io/753MgV I love how Loveevery designs their kits to be SO specific in meeting kids at their stages of development. The Realist Kit is for months 19, 20, and 21, and Lucy May loves her new toys so much!! This takes the guess work out of what toys she's ready for next (something I stress about a lot!). These kits would make a perfect gift for Christmas this year for the little ones in your life. Visit the link above to check out what kit would be right for your child! *Link is affiliate =)

I have twin boys one does not care and does fine my other boy!!!! He even cries when I leave for a second and leave him with dad he’s been like this since birth…. Idk what to do I tried it all the good bye kiss and hug and good bye.. the prep talking the day before and the sneaking away he cries and throws a tantrum. The daycare dose t let me leave of he’s crying aggressively;( help please I really need to go to work. I also tried the gym. And they gave me my money back because he won’t stay 😢

I'm muslim and a new homeschool mom. I totally agree with everything you said. So much evil and immorality these days. I don't want my kids indoctrinated. I want to raise kids who fear God and put God and being a believer first and it is so difficult to do that if they go to public school.

I wish that I watched this video when my child was first born. I did some of these things intuitively but others I didn’t even think of. But thank you for making this - It’s a must watch for new moms

Thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing. We recently started printing out recipes and need to get a binder to keep them in order

Jessica , this is really beautiful! My grandmother died 17 years ago at 85 years old. She printed a cookbook using a copy machine and a binding machine including hand written recipes from my great grandmother and great aunts , she also included stories from relatives from the depression period. The cook book really is a treasure. What a great momma you are.❤

Thanks for sharing! By the way your budget book video is really helping me. The set up really works for me, thanks again!☺

Thanks for stopping by today!! Side note: if it seems like I didn't share many dinner recipes, that's because my camera stopped recording when I was filming the dinner section and I didn't realize til I was neck deep into editing. I promise I have more dinner recipes than this on hand! *Dinner recipes I didn't get to share* Taco soup Creamy tortellini Cheesy meatballs Family Curry Chili Chicken pot pie Sheperds Pie BREAKFAST MUFFIN PDF: file:///C:/Users/jessy/Downloads/Cinnamon%20muffin%20recipe.pdf FAMILY CURRY PDF: file:///C:/Users/jessy/Downloads/Curry%20recipe.pdf

Sending you positive vibes!!!

In my toiletry kit 👇 ▪️Big pads ▪️Hairbrush and scrunchy ▪️Deoderant ▪️Tucks pads (iykyk) ▪️Combs to squeeze in myhands during labor 👍 My favorite electrolyte is from @perfectamino Body Health. Their watermelon flavor is THE BEST. Not fizzy. The flavor is very gentle and not gross and overpowering like a lot of electrolytes out there. I drank these electrolytes through my entire 3rd trimester with my last pregnancy AND post partum, and I'm doing the same thing this time. I can't recommend them enough. (Not sponsored at all. They are seriously the best.) ➡️ All 3 of my babies have had trouble latching at birth and two of them had trouble latching for several weeks or months after birth. I've learned to tune out the noise of people judging me using a shield and just do what it takes to be able to nurse my babies ❤️ What else would you pack for a birth center birth? #pregnancy #birth #4thbaby #birthcenterbirth #hospitalbag #birthcenterbag #homemaker #housewife #momof3

Telling your kids this gives you an opportunity to discuss self regulation. "Remember when you were feeding upset and had to take a break from playing, that's what mom needs."

All of this can be very true 😢 Although sometimes consuming such social media can help you aspire towards your goals, it can lead to frustration and sadness. Even at times confusion as to what goals you want to work towards. Taking a step back can offer a lot if perspective.

Babe which day care you worked coz the one I am leaving my child in they don’t let me in to settle my child . They just want me to leave my child and don’t ask them questions 😒

Great advice! I love the taking of intentional breaks

Comparison is 100% the thief of joy. And when you spend all your time gazing at things you can't have, you're comparing. ➡️ Gadgets other moms are using that are way out of your budget right now. ➡️ Clothes other homemakers wear on a daily basis that make you feel like your own wardrobe isn't as lovely or nice. ➡️ A house you can't have because you're not in a position to buy yet and you're still living the apartment life (🙋‍♀️) ➡️ Another mom doing something you don't have the skill, time, or capacity to do right now, but wish you did. (Like baking, cooking from scratch, sewing, homeschooling...you name it.) And it hurts. But it's a hurt we do to ourselves by allowing ourselves to look-by following social media accounts that show us these things every single day. Bitterness, envy, and discontent can take root fast and none of them will help you be in a position to have that thing you want yet. 👉Look at your life! A younger you dreamt of this. Be glad ❤️ Unfollow social media accounts that make your thoughts go dark and your heart ungrateful. Continue to ask God for the things you want, but be okay in the waiting and start listing the wonderful things He's already said yes to in your life. Don't let yourself stare at things that aren't for you right now. #contentment #homemaker #homemaking #sahm #housewife #momof3

Start looking at Walmart clearance, towards the end of every season they start marking stuff down, im an avid clearance/thrift shopper and can find much better deals at Walmart because how can you pass up 1.00 for a pair shoes, shirts, pants, etc. 90% of my 2yr old daughters wardrobe is Walmart clearance.

I just told my husband pjs are ridiculously expensive. Hopefully my daughter won’t grow out of pjs before Black Friday. Walmart usually sells them for $6 on Black Friday.

My neighborhood has a Buy Nothing Group and most moms that live close by we all just switch things around 😄

The first half of this video is my planning process 😊 If you want to skip to the haul, go to 7:50 Thank you for watching!!

Thanks for sharing, a great well-thought out system. We’re going into spring here, and I’ll be doing the similar for our kids clothes. I’d love to see a video on your other seasonal changeovers - I think you mentioned your clothes and things for the household?

I love your planning process. You did great. We live in a small town and we have 2 church thrift shops where kids clothes are .25 -.50 cents . Good brands that I like hanna anderson, LL bean, j crew kids. Maybe you can find a church thrift shop around your town. ❤

Great tips!

Wow, your 30 weeks belly is like full-term belly 😮 do you feel heavy or uncomfortable with that?

Wow thats a sumo baby 😂😅

Thanks for sharing Jessica, and God bless the upcoming arrival of your little girl. I have 3 little ones (4, 2 and 9mo), and we’ll probably have more to come, so it’s interesting to see what others use for their babies. I love the idea of the bassinet with a cover, I’ll have to look into that if we have another baby. I love the sleep suits that have legs; my kids have all hated being restricted while asleep/in bed, and if you did end up cosleeping, should be the safest option. I 100% agree about the minimal clothing for kids, we do similar. It really reduces the overwhelm of washing, because it can’t pile up! We used a pillow similar to the snuggle me one for laying baby down while we move around the house, as it’s easy to move. I also wouldn’t leave baby alone asleep in there though, I don’t think it’s super safe.

Wow, good for you with sticking with breastfeeding even though you have challenges. I think people give up so easily when nursing is hard. Mom and baby need to learn how, really. Im a mom of 8 and all have exclusively breastfed some till 18 months a couple till over 3 years. My youngest is 7, so this gave me baby fever . ❤ praying for you.

Hi Jessica, will you wear your baby (baby carrier/sling)? Also, do you think you will use a double stroller since Lucy is still young? Thank you for sharing your setup 🙂

Thanks for bearing with me for today's video! The quality is not as good as usual because my camera was having issues and I thought my husband's phone could do better. Not so much lol! But I still thought it was good enough to share. Thanks for being here!

Thank you,

How old should my kid be before they start Headstart?

This really helped me. Thank you.

Paper budget person as well, and tried other budget templates but they didn’t seem to work because they were too specific or not specific enough. So I just use a notebook and layout as I want!

I just realized I can’t declutter the toy room with the kids 😅 I also only ever wash my hair in the middle of day, everyone melts by 5 or 6 pm here. My fav thing is also to make lunch at 10 am and then eat it for the rest of the day 🎉

I'm not getting any breaks while kids nap at the moment, and I'm finding it really hard. When the baby goes down the older 2 still fight like cats and dogs. When I get a breath I prioritise rest, but it's hard not to feel resentful. This phase will end, but right now it's very trying.

Im sure it wasn't malicious at all, but its ok to bring up possible feelings of disrespect calmly at a later time. Clear communication makes for a happy marriage.

Thanks Jessica🎉
