I caught my husband having an affair with a 19 year old from work. Ten days later I found out I was pregnant. So I did it all alone. All the diaper changes, all the feedings and I remember the unbelievable exhaustion. When I see such a loving couple that shares these responsibilities it makes me realize all that I missed! But I’m so happy to know a love and respect like you two are showing exists. My “baby” is 29 now and she’s a beautiful human. We made it! ❤
You are incredible! Well done to you. My story is not as sad as that .. but I've been sitting listening and watching and recalling that I just didn't have that level of support either. My husband took a call straight after my first child was born (from, I suspect, a girlfriend from his workplace), raced from the delivery room to go watch a rugby game (2nd child) and decided after the second day (3rd child) that I was handling things so well, he could return to work (left me with a newborn and two young children to care for, two days post partum). I breastfed exclusively, no pumping all those years ago, and so he didn't ever get up to any of our babies during the night or do much at all throughout their infancies. Instead of feeling sorry for myself (and angry at the memory of him), I've just been thinking "Wow, I WAS amazing". Happily divorced haha! But you, are spectacular to have gone through everything alone. That is just next level of difficulty. I hope life is good for you now.
@@scrapper900 my mom reared four girls as a single parent in the 60's and 70's. She was an incredible mom. Worked a full-time job, accepted no help from government except Food boxes. I will turn 68 in Oct. The man I am dating raised his 3 kids as a single dad. That is what he is known as. Some people in town knows him as the man that worked at the building supply place in our town, but everyone knows him as the man with the 3 kids. Now, helps raise his grandsons. That's alot for a 72 years - old man. Lawson, you learned at the feet of your dad how to be a man and a father. Just keep doing what your dad taught you. Keep putting God first, your wife and your marriage next. Everything else will fall into place.
@@scrapper900 Your daughter will look back when she is 68 years old and think, "I made it, Mom, because of you, I made it." Sounds like you are a Proverbs 31 lady.
@@scrapper900 these are great stories. My mom raised me as a single parent, but not by choice. My father died suddenly when I was two months old, and my mom was left with no help to raise two adolescents, one preteen and an infant on her own. My two older sisters were wild and refused to help. They basically showed me the path of what NOT to do in life. My mom said she was so lucky that my one sister and I were so laid back. My mom went to work (thank goodness she had an accounting degree), sent me to daycare and was the best. We are very bonded. She had me very late in life so she is now 97. She is a great mom and grandmother to my daughters and has lived with me most of my life. She helped with my children, and now my husband and adult children are happy to help her in her golden years. She is amazing ing.
Amazing that people are telling her how to heal. She just pushed a human out of her tiny body. Im glad that Lawson is being so gentle with momma and assisting her. Good husband points Lawson.
Lawson, thank you for highlighting the importance of taking care of the mother. When she feels good and well taken care of, she will be able to be that great mother for the baby. Post partum is so hard on a woman's body, and it's so important to recognize that and take care of baby, yes, but also take great care of the momma.
Tiffany, after breastfeeding four children, including twins, let me tell you that if you over-do the bottle the baby will definitely give up the breast. After I found this out, I wound up having the breastfeeding experience I truly wanted. The others gave up much earlier than I wanted because I gave some bottles. If you don't do any more than one per day it might be ok, but don't go over that at all. It looks like Lawson is a great Dad and he participates in all of the other important ways so he doesn't need to feed him more than once a day and not even that if you want to exclusively breastfeed. I made it easier on myself by feeding the baby in bed and letting him stay there afterward. You both seem to be doing a great job. Bless you.
I know Dad is very excited and the love is overflowing for their first child. But as a few others have mentioned, please let Tiffany talk. Even when she does begin to talk he almost always interrupts her. Otherwise a very loving , husband and dad! So happy for you both!!
@@noorbohamad5796 It's better to teach and train someone to be the right kind of person from childhood than it is to try to "fix" someone who was raised poorly and grown up to be a less than great adult.
Another fantastic video. One thing I really love is how much praise and affirmation Lawson gives to Tiffany and how much practical help he gives. As a UK ex-Midwife I have seen so many women heaped with love and affection throughout pregnancy, only to be sidelined when the precious baby arrives. On top of that is the fact that most women will feel grief for their lost freedom when they realise just how little they have, that is entirely normal. In addition there are big physical, hormonal and practical issues to deal with. So a great big thank you to Lawson for repeatedly bringing it back to encouraging and supporting Tiffany. God bless you all xx
@@stephaniehenderson6631 Yes, everyone is kind when you’re pregnant! Once baby is born, the visitors hurry past you to see your child. Of course, new moms are so proud of baby. But it would be nice for a new mom to be asked how she is doing!
Tiffany you are doing great. Such a positive attitude. It took me a full six weeks to heal and return to normal activity. I felt like I was either eating, sleeping or nursing. Beautiful, healthy baby. Lawson’s a good man! You are blessed.
I mentioned in another video that you didn’t need to pick up Tiffany to get up the steps and I apologize for that. I of course didn’t realize that your Mom had given y’all that advice. I never had that problem, but I see how it could affect some women. Y’all are so sweet and loving towards each other and baby William. The love oozes through the screen. I’m so happy for both of you with the birth of this precious baby boy. Please keep the videos coming.
Wow, good job. It is so nice to see humans will take accountability for mistakes. We all don't know other people's walks. You are a breath a fresh air for apologizing to them. Thank you for being a good human.
I can see where you were coming from as most of the videos have show lawson doing everything for her, including moving her legs off bed .it's a fine balance recovering, but having to do things yourself .
That’s so awesome that her parents got a place nearby. What a blessing! Y’all are great parents already. 😊 I love how involved Lawson is. Changing diaper’s!
You two are doing GREAT!! It took me back to when I had my first. I was 19 & had no idea how to take care of a newborn. I was so scared. But God gives us something, as Mothers, and quickly my lil man and I were in tune with one another. I blinked and now, he’s 36 with a family of his own. Enjoy it!! ❤
❤I was also 19! And then 363 days later had another lil boy! My husband has a Norwegian background so big head n chest. 1979&80 were all natural, LaMazze childbirth yrs. Then we had our 3rd 4 yrs later. They have given us the greatest gifts in our grandkids!🎉❤
Lawson you are doing an amazing job as a husband and a new Daddy! Tiffany is so blessed to have you in her life. I don't think people are necessarily trying to be mean but rather concerned about Tiffany. Every woman is different but after almost a month she should be completely back to normal. Tiffany you look very happy and look like you are starting to feel better. Baby Will is adorable.
I have given birth 4 times ❤ I had an epidural with last 2 which made birth so much earlier with my 3rd child but it didn't work on 4th. I didn't have a good nurse that night because she didn't believe me which made birth so hard n painful! Mg 1st daughter passed at 16 months old and several miscarriages. Little William is absolutely adorable and precious ❤ yall are so good with him!! I absolutely loved the video and picture yalls had taken with him laying on guitar while Lawson was singing was the most precious thing I've seen ❤❤❤❤
Will is truly a cute newborn. Lawson, you are a great daddy and a kind and loving husband as well. Don't pay any attention to negative comments. Your conversation flowed beautifully and neither one of you spoke over the other. You two are going to be wonderful parents. You already are. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! ❤Claire (Bobby's wife)
Sorry, I disagree , first thing I noticed is that he dominates the conversations! He talks way more than her and interrupts her a lot. But that’s just who he is and she’s very patient with him and doesn’t seem to mind! Best wishes for them and their new life as parents of a precious baby boy!❤❤❤
You all are so cute and little Will is adorable. I know Tiffany is probably doing the majority of feedings because she is breastfeeding. Lawson, you are a great helper to Tiffany, she is very blessed. It’s very evident you all are both great parents who love each other and Will very much. May God continue to bless you both. 💙
He definitely looks like Tiffany but has Lawson’s nose. Y’all are such a happy beautiful family. Praise God everything has worked out wonderful for your little family. ❤
Will truly is a blessed little boy with such amazing parents.. I have to say you guys make it look easy… I can’t wait to see Will in a month or two just too see how much he has changed and grown.. Tiffany you look Fabulous.. Lawson you are an example of what a husband and Dad some could learn a great deal from you….
I love how enthusiastic Lawson is with his support and regard for Tiffany and that it's clear that you both appreciate each other and make a solid team. Don't let those negative comments darken your days. Not everyone is respectful in their way of communicating and they're missing out knowing that giving grace unto each other makes life less stressful.
Some people like to argue saying that because you are in the public eye having been on television and cinema, etc that you put yourselves out there open for judgement and criticism. They fail to grasp that that doesn't apply to all aspects of your lives. Beyond that, being rude and aggressive about it is totally inappropriate.
I was also a very small woman. Having my first baby and needing to have stitches was worse than everything. The incision was huge. I honestly could barely move and developed a horrible infection on top of that due to difficulties in delivery. I would have been so happy to have true help..This was back in the days where they did not give epidurals! Nobody even had a breast pump..I was in very hard labor for 34 hours due to baby being posterior. Take care of yourself Tiffany! I would love to hear more of your story… you are so kind and patient!
It's such a blessing that you are surrounded by all your sister in laws that have been through this too. 40 years ago when I had my first I remember I couldn't walk and had to sit on what they called a donut for weeks! Your doing great!
Please talk to your vet about your post dinner workout with Duke. As I remember, running or jumping around is not recommended after eating as it can cause a stomach twist ( I think they called it). Tiffany, you are such a great Mom and doing great! Lawson, we all wish we had husbands like you. Honestly, you two are inspiring. And Will is precious, perfect and such a blessing. Be kind to yourselves.
Something that really helps, is try and keep him awake a little bit before he goes to bed. One of my girls had their days and nights mixed up so I started keep them awake before bed and that really worked. 😊
You two are just adorable and little Will is absolutely beautiful yes beautiful ❤... congratulations and Tiffany you are looking amazing ... love ya both ... God bless you all
If little Will sleeps a lot during the day but awake a lot during the night, try this: During the day: wake for 3hrly feeds (get baby up, feed right away, back in bed within 45min - 1hr max). After the late night feed - 10pmish just leave him to wake naturally and feed when he wakes. Once you regulate the day time like this it won't take long and he will be on a lovely routine and sleep longer stretches at night. It seems strange to wake a baby if sleeping but the ideal is that he feeds 3hrly during the day (or more if needed) so he gets more calories so he can learn to stretch during the night. I've done this for all 6 of my children and my children have done same for the 10 grandchildren...it works!
After having my daughter by emergency c-section she weighed 4 pounds 0 ounces so we got no sleep for 2 years. Now she’s 22, graduated college, got her first apartment and has her first “real job.” We are super proud. Never wish this time away. I understand the lack of sleep is difficult so I want to share with you both what my OBGYN told me and my husband at that time. He said it’s extremely important that you take turns getting up. You have to let each person get at least 4 hours a sleep and then swap. Leave the bedroom so you don’t wake your spouse. Thats my only advice. Congratulations to you both.
So happy to see you guys doing amazingly well ❤❤❤So good to see how well you take care of each other❤ You can tell you both have some amazing parents ❤I know they’re super proud of you both ❤Keep up the amazing job, and yes definitely enjoy every single second ❤❤❤It flies by entirely too fast❤❤ May God Continue To Bless You And Your Family ❤
I am so excited for your little family. Just enjoy, because they grow up too fast. I have 3 son's and all are now in their 40's. My husband was a great helper when he was home, but as a Navy man I was alone a lot with my boys. God bless you all.
I have to say what you both expressed about caring for your spouse through this life changing time was beautiful. So many tips and opinions can be said about parenting but you were partners first and it's great to remember and acknowledge that. All the best,
Tiff you look so good! Your hair is beautiful (prenatal vits?) Lawson you are super hyper bruh! I love the way y’all are working together and loving your baby! He’s a cutie!
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous family. Its not something you have to do,but so sweet to share with your fans. Love your honesty, you are both such genuine people and baby William is gorgeous,a real mix of you both.
I pray for a partner as supportive as Lawson. What he said about your partner going through all this new stuff and give no sharp answers or remarks, so important I love what Erin said about planning something to look forward too. I would definitely need that too. Great advice
Lawson you are such a great husband and a daddy ! The way you take care of Tiffany is so special and how you really see how much a woman goes thru to bring a child into this world . Tiffany will soon feel better . Will is a blessed baby to have Tiffany and Lawson as parents .
Lawson ive never in my life aeen such a devoted husband and Daddy. I pray God pours out more blessings than your hearts can hold. Will is precious and Tiffany looks stunning 😍
It's so funny what some people use and others don't. The Madella hnd pump and my Hakka pump were Life Savers for me with both my kids. I recommend them to everyone. You guys are doing great!
Tiffany and Lawson...you two have created such a beautiful (handsome) little baby boy. I love how you take care of each other and how you are sharing the responsibilities of Will. Lawson you are developing such a strong bond with Will by holding him and loving on him as well as feeding and taking care of his needs. I do believe it's just as important for both parents to take care of the children. I think you are both doing an amazing job. Tiff you look amazing and you are truly a beautiful soul. 🩷❤️
I’m so pleased to hear that you’re seriously considering adopting. So many babies and children already here who need good loving forever families like yours. ❤
@@Sabouma28 They said it themselves. Just acknowledging. I don’t think it detracts in any way from their precious newborn son. Why don’t you leave the comments for the content creators and find something better to do with your own time. Comment was not intended for you
I agree with you Lawson everyone heals different. Just like everyone raises kids different. No one should be saying what you should or shouldn’t be doing. Every new parent learns as they go. William is so cute. You and Tiffany are a cute couple.
Tiffany you truly have never looked more beautiful!!! Stunning! What a glowing mamma! Lawson, what a precious dad you are. You are so caught up in the excitement of being a dad, you were more than prepared for this. Love you guys ❤
I'm so impressed with the team work you all have shown during this process. The love is so strong between each other and toward baby Will....great job !
Im sorry, William is barely a month old and someone, or more than one, has asked if you're having anymore? Geez!!! Let them recover, enjoy this one and get used to being a family of 4! (Can't forget big brother Duke!)
Exactly. When someone asked me if I was having more after my first, I was like no way. Not having anymore. 2.5 years later we had our second and then I was done.
It's not offensive if you believe each child is a gift from God and a blessing. Only in the world is it considered a burden. It's a valid question. And they don't seem to mind either.
Lawson and Tiffany you are both so beautiful, and the way you’re taking care of your newborn baby! I personally love to see Dawson loving on Tiffany and taking care of baby William! ❤
Lawson you are such a sweet husband and father, this is such a special time of bonding between you and Tiffany as well as the baby! God bless you sweet people and we will remember all three of you in prayer❤️😇👵
You are all precious. You have good values and keeping God in the front is so important. My best advice is enjoy every moment. The day to day can seem long, but turn around and your babies are grown. You are blessed. 🙏🙏🙏🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love this couple, and i admittedly agreed with some before about Lawson being a bit smothering in the hospital.... But now i see a different "dad" in Lawson wheres he so relaxed. Blessings to yall.
William is so blessed having parents like you both, he's going to have such fun and happy life. He is so cute. Tiffany you look amazing. I wish your little family all the happiness in the world. God bless and take care. ❤
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Brings me hope to know that there is still good and kind people in this world. You guys are amazing and Will is beautiful.
You guys are doing a great job. Love this vlog and Lawson’s so gracious with his words and reminders of keeping comments nice and positive. You truly have a sweet soul. You are a true reflection of how sweet your parents are . It’s a very simple request folks. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. 💕💕💕💕💕
Such a beautiful family will is absolutely adorable. do things at your own pace. I think it’s great how much lawson is helping and I know a lot of people said that he didn’t let Tiffany talk, but he’s just excited. Tiffany looks absolutely great. You will be able to get to sleep soon normally by two months they are sleeping through the night, which is such an awesome feeling, try keeping him up during the day so he sleeps better at night. I think you guys are doing just great. Every family is different so there is no right or wrong way to do things. May God continue to bless your family.
He's so cute and beautiful! I can't believe how much his looks have changed already! It's so fun to watch them develop into their own look and person. ❤️
It has been 40 years since giving birth to my first baby and I still remember the postpartum struggle. It hurts to do simple things and everything takes a long time to accomplish. You keep moving slow. I can say the next births are sooo much easier.
Helping the baby pass gas is important for their comfort. I didn't know it for mine, but definitely saw the good results in my grandchildren. There are many videos to teach you how. Babies often sleep a little longer after passing a good amount of gas.
Tiffany, my first baby (a big boy!) weighed 8 lbs 11 ounces. When I asked my Doctor how many stitches I had, he said "Oh from A to Z! 😂😂 I was small like you, and my babies were all big. It took several weeks for me to heal from those episiotomies! I did stitz baths for weeks after each delivery. You take your time! Lawson is right, everyone is different! The important thing is to heal and not overdo, so you can take care of sweet baby Will! Great job guys! ❤❤❤❤
I love when Lawson sings to his lip man please do it more often. Tiff slow down in the scheme of life this time you'll never get back. Take lots of you time when you can. Baths , have a massage , go to a wonderful salon and have your hair washed and styled. Pamper you if you can.
Will is already changing so much. Some of the pix you showed, I thought he favors Jace a lot. He's precious and beautiful. Love how attentive you are Lawson to Tiffany and baby Will.
Tiff,I had a lot of stitches after the birth of my sons and I was walking really really slow. I totally understood when I saw you leaving the hospital. Kelly Joe gave you great advice.
I think you both are doing awesome. Tiffany you are so fortunate to have a Lawson . Lawson you are absolutely correct every person is different we each have different experiences. I know you adore each other and that’s all that matters you love your baby and you love each other.
Oh I know why Tiffany was walking slow because my first child almost split me in half. I got an episiotomy and I tore a bit so I was walking really slow as well. You are wise Tiffany to take it easy and Lawson, you are nailing this father thing and being a big blessing to Tiffany. I'm so blessed by watching you all and I'm very happy for you.
I am so happy for you two! Cute little family! I actually had guessed 7 lbs. 4 oz 19.5 inches long born at 3:15 Pm or something like that ;) My 1st one I was up for almost 24 hrs then up early after only 5 hrs of sleep and up all day with visitors but my 2nd one we were up for over 48 hrs it was crazy mayhem.
@@glendamc6040 How would you know what "a big family" is in Bonnie's mind? I seriously doubt she's suggesting 19 kids like Lawson's mom had. In my mind, (for example) based on my own family, a *'big'* family would be three kids! LOL. Besides, Lawson said in the video, they plan to ADOPT as well as have at least one more naturally. :-)
I've always heard 3 at the most with a C Section. I would hope that they would adopt 3 or 4 Older Kids like 4 years old and up because most People want babies so, It'd be nice to adopt a child that may be thinking that they aren't going to be adopted. 😊
Lawson, you are so smart and so Godly. Keep it up! Tiffany, I've never seen a mom so brave. You truly were and are amazing. Will is going to be an amazing man because his parents love God and will teach Will to love him as well Tiffany you look great already. You've done so good. I love you guys and all the Bates family.
Tiffany pregnancy has really agreed with you! You are even more beautiful. Lawson you are so in with everything. Will you won the lotto with your parents. Welcome to parenting. Love your journey. Ty for sharing.
This video has given me so much joy today! I needed this more than you can imagine. William was born on my grandson, Jayden's 10th birthday! It seems like yesterday that our kids were babies (we had 3 under 3 years old). Now, they are all in their 40's with families of their own. Childhood is such a short season. Savor the blessing of making memories together as a family each and every day. You will cherish those memories in your old age. God bless the 3 of you always. With loads of prayers, love, and gentle hugs from Donna Gulyas in Florida. 🥰🙏💙
You guys are so precious and especially little Will 💙😍 Lawson, you are an amazing husband, how you’ve been caring for your bride is beyond words. God bless you all on your new journey 🙏🏼
thank you so much for sharing, I know you're such an inspiration to new parents, I love that you're sharing everything, not just the positive, but as you see babies, our sacrifice with sleep, won't get much sleep until after a year, basically, just got the last and can't wait to see little William grow
Always Always Always love and enjoy your videos baby William is so adorable and handsome. Tiffany you look great and Lawson you have always been so helpful

Yes she is. And I love that Laseon can't stop smiling and his laough makes me laugh every time.
Lawson’s comment about giving grace and everyone being different was so classy 👍🏼👌🏼 The internet can be brutal with judgements
It has been my experience that people who have no children are the ones who consider themselves to be experts. J/S

You two are doing GREAT!! It took me back to when I had my first. I was 19 & had no idea how to take care of a newborn. I was so scared. But God gives us something, as Mothers, and quickly my lil man and I were in tune with one another. I blinked and now, he’s 36 with a family of his own. Enjoy it!! ❤
❤I was also 19! And then 363 days later had another lil boy! My husband has a Norwegian background so big head n chest. 1979&80 were all natural, LaMazze childbirth yrs. Then we had our 3rd 4 yrs later. They have given us the greatest gifts in our grandkids!🎉❤
Lawson you are doing an amazing job as a husband and a new Daddy! Tiffany is so blessed to have you in her life. I don't think people are necessarily trying to be mean but rather concerned about Tiffany. Every woman is different but after almost a month she should be completely back to normal. Tiffany you look very happy and look like you are starting to feel better. Baby Will is adorable.
I have given birth 4 times ❤
I had an epidural with last 2 which made birth so much earlier with my 3rd child but it didn't work on 4th. I didn't have a good nurse that night because she didn't believe me which made birth so hard n painful! Mg 1st daughter passed at 16 months old and several miscarriages.
Little William is absolutely adorable and precious ❤ yall are so good with him!! I absolutely loved the video and picture yalls had taken with him laying on guitar while Lawson was singing was the most precious thing I've seen ❤❤❤❤
HES SO BEAUTIFUL - REALLY ENJOYING ALL THE UPDATES - GLAD YOUR SHARING HIS LIFE WITH US!!! 28:36
Will is truly a cute newborn. Lawson, you are a great daddy and a kind and loving husband as well. Don't pay any attention to negative comments. Your conversation flowed beautifully and neither one of you spoke over the other. You two are going to be wonderful parents. You already are. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy! ❤Claire (Bobby's wife)
@@bobbycoleman9457 I think Lawson talks alot, but that’s just him! It doesn’t seem like Tiffany cares, and maybe she doesn’t want to talk that much.
@@paulasaxon6238Tiffany somehow doesn’t really seem less talkative than Lawson
@@noorbohamad5796 when she’s been on other vlogs, she doesn’t seem to talk much - but as an actress she is totally different.
Sorry, I disagree , first thing I noticed is that he dominates the conversations! He talks way more than her and interrupts her a lot. But that’s just who he is and she’s very patient with him and doesn’t seem to mind! Best wishes for them and their new life as parents of a precious baby boy!❤❤❤
Tiffany you look absolutely beautiful. Motherhood has you glowing. Lawson you are doing such a great job caring for your wife. Good job Dad.
Your transparency is so refreshing. God bless your precious growing family.
You all are so cute and little Will is adorable. I know Tiffany is probably doing the majority of feedings because she is breastfeeding. Lawson, you are a great helper to Tiffany, she is very blessed. It’s very evident you all are both great parents who love each other and Will very much. May God continue to bless you both. 💙
Beautiful little family. People need to give Grace. Everyone has an opinion but that doesn't mean it needs to be shared. Many Blessings
My grandpa was William Daniels and passed on July 31st last year. Watching you have your William Daniel almost a year later...all the feels. xoxo
So sorry for your loss 😢
He definitely looks like Tiffany but has Lawson’s nose. Y’all are such a happy beautiful family. Praise God everything has worked out wonderful for your little family. ❤
Will truly is a blessed little boy with such amazing parents.. I have to say you guys make it look easy… I can’t wait to see Will in a month or two just too see how much he has changed and grown.. Tiffany you look Fabulous.. Lawson you are an example of what a husband and Dad some could learn a great deal from you….
I love how enthusiastic Lawson is with his support and regard for Tiffany and that it's clear that you both appreciate each other and make a solid team. Don't let those negative comments darken your days. Not everyone is respectful in their way of communicating and they're missing out knowing that giving grace unto each other makes life less stressful.
Some people like to argue saying that because you are in the public eye having been on television and cinema, etc that you put yourselves out there open for judgement and criticism. They fail to grasp that that doesn't apply to all aspects of your lives. Beyond that, being rude and aggressive about it is totally inappropriate.
@@vee3456somehow
sounds like victim blaming
@@noorbohamad5796 victim blaming?
I was also a very small woman. Having my first baby and needing to have stitches was worse than everything. The incision was huge. I honestly could barely move and developed a horrible infection on top of that due to difficulties in delivery. I would have been so happy to have true help..This was back in the days where they did not give epidurals! Nobody even had a breast pump..I was in very hard labor for 34 hours due to baby being posterior. Take care of yourself Tiffany! I would love to hear more of your story… you are so kind and patient!
It's such a blessing that you are surrounded by all your sister in laws that have been through this too. 40 years ago when I had my first I remember I couldn't walk and had to sit on what they called a donut for weeks! Your doing great!
And, Tiffany, you look AMAZING!!
Congratulations on z William!! He is just perfect and the two of you are inspirational!
Please talk to your vet about your post dinner workout with Duke. As I remember, running or jumping around is not recommended after eating as it can cause a stomach twist ( I think they called it). Tiffany, you are such a great Mom and doing great! Lawson, we all wish we had husbands like you. Honestly, you two are inspiring. And Will is precious, perfect and such a blessing. Be kind to yourselves.
Gotta wait 2 hours til they can play again
You are all doing wonderfully! Keep shaking off any criticisms. Wishing you joy, health (&sleep) 🩷
Something that really helps, is try and keep him awake a little bit before he goes to bed. One of my girls had their days and nights mixed up so I started keep them awake before bed and that really worked. 😊
You two are just adorable and little Will is absolutely beautiful yes beautiful ❤... congratulations and Tiffany you are looking amazing ... love ya both ... God bless you all
Tiffany, I wish you smooth, timely healing. Lawson, you’re a natural! The best to your new little family!
I love seeing how hands-on Lawson is as a Dad to a newborn. Congratulations to you both ❤❤
Does Lawson have a job/career that takes him out of the home?
If little Will sleeps a lot during the day but awake a lot during the night, try this: During the day: wake for 3hrly feeds (get baby up, feed right away, back in bed within 45min - 1hr max). After the late night feed - 10pmish just leave him to wake naturally and feed when he wakes. Once you regulate the day time like this it won't take long and he will be on a lovely routine and sleep longer stretches at night. It seems strange to wake a baby if sleeping but the ideal is that he feeds 3hrly during the day (or more if needed) so he gets more calories so he can learn to stretch during the night. I've done this for all 6 of my children and my children have done same for the 10 grandchildren...it works!
After having my daughter by emergency c-section she weighed 4 pounds 0 ounces so we got no sleep for 2 years. Now she’s 22, graduated college, got her first apartment and has her first “real job.” We are super proud.
Never wish this time away. I understand the lack of sleep is difficult so I want to share with you both what my OBGYN told me and my husband at that time. He said it’s extremely important that you take turns getting up. You have to let each person get at least 4 hours a sleep and then swap. Leave the bedroom so you don’t wake your spouse. Thats my only advice.
Congratulations to you both.
So happy for your family of three. BLESSINGS and PRAYERS ❤ Love getting to know the newest family member in your lives 🙏
So happy to see you guys doing amazingly well ❤❤❤So good to see how well you take care of each other❤ You can tell you both have some amazing parents ❤I know they’re super proud of you both ❤Keep up the amazing job, and yes definitely enjoy every single second ❤❤❤It flies by entirely too fast❤❤ May God Continue To Bless You And Your Family ❤
Bravo 👏 for feeding Duke fresh, healthy food. Duke will be happier and healthier, and you'll save a fortune in vet bills long term.
I am so excited for your little family. Just enjoy, because they grow up too fast. I have 3 son's and all are now in their 40's. My husband was a great helper when he was home, but as a Navy man I was alone a lot with my boys. God bless you all.
Y’all are doing so much better than I knew how to do as a new parent. I’m deeply touched by your precious care of Will. ❤
I have to say what you both expressed about caring for your spouse through this life changing time was beautiful. So many tips and opinions can be said about parenting but you were partners first and it's great to remember and acknowledge that. All the best,
Tiff you look so good! Your hair is beautiful (prenatal vits?) Lawson you are super hyper bruh! I love the way y’all are working together and loving your baby! He’s a cutie!
He is hyper. Makes me nervous watching him 😂. Chill out.
Tiffany looks absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous family. Its not something you have to do,but so sweet to share with your fans. Love your honesty, you are both such genuine people and baby William is gorgeous,a real mix of you both.
Thank you so much for the support!
You learn day by day what his needs are and sometimes they change each day. If you can, nap when baby naps .
I pray for a partner as supportive as Lawson. What he said about your partner going through all this new stuff and give no sharp answers or remarks, so important
I love what Erin said about planning something to look forward too. I would definitely need that too. Great advice
Lawson you are such a great husband and a daddy ! The way you take care of Tiffany is so special and how you really see how much a woman goes thru to bring a child into this world . Tiffany will soon feel better . Will is a blessed baby to have Tiffany and Lawson as parents .
You are so kind!
Lawson ive never in my life aeen such a devoted husband and Daddy. I pray God pours out more blessings than your hearts can hold. Will is precious and Tiffany looks stunning 😍
He’s just excited people. Tiffany is old enough & smart enough to speak for herself
It's so funny what some people use and others don't. The Madella hnd pump and my Hakka pump were Life Savers for me with both my kids. I recommend them to everyone. You guys are doing great!
Tiffany and Lawson...you two have created such a beautiful (handsome) little baby boy. I love how you take care of each other and how you are sharing the responsibilities of Will. Lawson you are developing such a strong bond with Will by holding him and loving on him as well as feeding and taking care of his needs. I do believe it's just as important for both parents to take care of the children.
I think you are both doing an amazing job. Tiff you look amazing and you are truly a beautiful soul. 🩷❤️
I’m so pleased to hear that you’re seriously considering adopting. So many babies and children already here who need good loving forever families like yours. ❤
oh stop it, they just had a baby...
@@Sabouma28 They said it themselves. Just acknowledging. I don’t think it detracts in any way from their precious newborn son. Why don’t you leave the comments for the content creators and find something better to do with your own time. Comment was not intended for you
@@Cullenore1-yet you still replied to him or her 2-so how does anyone how? when? from where? and how many to adopt?
@@CullenoreI’m guessing they’d probably wait until their newborn baby gets bigger older
I agree with you Lawson everyone heals different. Just like everyone raises kids different. No one should be saying what you should or shouldn’t be doing. Every new parent learns as they go. William is so cute. You and Tiffany are a cute couple.
Tiffany you truly have never looked more beautiful!!! Stunning! What a glowing mamma! Lawson, what a precious dad you are. You are so caught up in the excitement of being a dad, you were more than prepared for this. Love you guys ❤
Lawson is all in here. It’s time for Tiffany to recuperate so he is doing a great job. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy this time because it goes too quickly.😊
You guys seem so mature and relaxed as new parents….he is certainly a mix of the 2 of you. He’s a doll baby ❤
CONGRATULATIONS HE IS PERFECT. I LOVE HIS DIMPLE.
Congratulations, he is so adorable❤
I'm so impressed with the team work you all have shown during this process. The love is so strong between each other and toward baby Will....great job !
Im sorry, William is barely a month old and someone, or more than one, has asked if you're having anymore? Geez!!! Let them recover, enjoy this one and get used to being a family of 4! (Can't forget big brother Duke!)
Agree
Exactly. When someone asked me if I was having more after my first, I was like no way. Not having anymore. 2.5 years later we had our second and then I was done.
I remember just 24 hours after having our first son, mt sister in law asked if we wanted a girl next time🤦♀️
Yes! Never ask a woman who has just given birth if they want more children....
It's not offensive if you believe each child is a gift from God and a blessing. Only in the world is it considered a burden. It's a valid question. And they don't seem to mind either.
Lawson and Tiffany you are both so beautiful, and the way you’re taking care of your newborn baby! I personally love to see Dawson loving on Tiffany and taking care of baby William! ❤
Lawson, you are such an awesome husband being so hands-on caring for little William.
Lawson you are such a sweet husband and father, this is such a special time of bonding between you and Tiffany as well as the baby! God bless you sweet people and we will remember all three of you in prayer❤️😇👵
You are all precious. You have good values and keeping God in the front is so important. My best advice is enjoy every moment. The day to day can seem long, but turn around and your babies are grown. You are blessed. 🙏🙏🙏🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love this couple, and i admittedly agreed with some before about Lawson being a bit smothering in the hospital.... But now i see a different "dad" in Lawson wheres he so relaxed. Blessings to yall.
William is so blessed having parents like you both, he's going to have such fun and happy life. He is so cute. Tiffany you look amazing. I wish your little family all the happiness in the world. God bless and take care. ❤
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Brings me hope to know that there is still good and kind people in this world. You guys are amazing and Will is beautiful.
You guys are doing a great job. Love this vlog and Lawson’s so gracious with his words and reminders of keeping comments nice and positive. You truly have a sweet soul. You are a true reflection of how sweet your parents are . It’s a very simple request folks. If you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. 💕💕💕💕💕
Such a beautiful family will is absolutely adorable. do things at your own pace. I think it’s great how much lawson is helping and I know a lot of people said that he didn’t let Tiffany talk, but he’s just excited. Tiffany looks absolutely great. You will be able to get to sleep soon normally by two months they are sleeping through the night, which is such an awesome feeling, try keeping him up during the day so he sleeps better at night. I think you guys are doing just great. Every family is different so there is no right or wrong way to do things. May God continue to bless your family.
He's so cute and beautiful! I can't believe how much his looks have changed already! It's so fun to watch them develop into their own look and person. ❤️
Lil Will is just adorable and I do believe he is one blessed little boy. Y'all are doing great
Congratulations, he is such a little cutie!!! God bless you all in this beautiful new season of life!!!! 💙💙💙
It has been 40 years since giving birth to my first baby and I still remember the postpartum struggle. It hurts to do simple things and everything takes a long time to accomplish. You keep moving slow. I can say the next births are sooo much easier.
Helping the baby pass gas is important for their comfort. I didn't know it for mine, but definitely saw the good results in my grandchildren. There are many videos to teach you how. Babies often sleep a little longer after passing a good amount of gas.
Y'all are doing amazing as parents and Baby Will is so cute!
Tiffany, my first baby (a big boy!) weighed 8 lbs 11 ounces. When I asked my Doctor how many stitches I had, he said "Oh from A to Z! 😂😂
I was small like you, and my babies were all big. It took several weeks for me to heal from those episiotomies! I did stitz baths for weeks after each delivery. You take your time! Lawson is right, everyone is different! The important thing is to heal and not overdo, so you can take care of sweet baby Will! Great job guys! ❤❤❤❤
So sweet! In my opinion, Kelly Jo would be the ultimate person to give you the very best advice. She’s a pro at all things baby! ❤
I love when Lawson sings to his lip man please do it more often. Tiff slow down in the scheme of life this time you'll never get back. Take lots of you time when you can. Baths , have a massage , go to a wonderful salon and have your hair washed and styled. Pamper you if you can.
Great advice
Will is already changing so much. Some of the pix you showed, I thought he favors Jace a lot. He's precious and beautiful. Love how attentive you are Lawson to Tiffany and baby Will.
I mistakenly said Will favors Jace, but I meant to say Trace. The lower part of his face, cheeks and mouth reminded me of Trace.
Tiff,I had a lot of stitches after the birth of my sons and I was walking really really slow. I totally understood when I saw you leaving the hospital. Kelly Joe gave you great advice.
Thanks for sharing. Love hearing how Lawson takes care of his family!!
I think you both are doing awesome. Tiffany you are so fortunate to have a Lawson . Lawson you are absolutely correct every person is different we each have different experiences. I know you adore each other and that’s all that matters you love your baby and you love each other.
Oh I know why Tiffany was walking slow because my first child almost split me in half. I got an episiotomy and I tore a bit so I was walking really slow as well. You are wise Tiffany to take it easy and Lawson, you are nailing this father thing and being a big blessing to Tiffany. I'm so blessed by watching you all and I'm very happy for you.
I am so happy for you two! Cute little family! I actually had guessed 7 lbs. 4 oz 19.5 inches long born at 3:15 Pm or something like that ;) My 1st one I was up for almost 24 hrs then up early after only 5 hrs of sleep and up all day with visitors but my 2nd one we were up for over 48 hrs it was crazy mayhem.
I think you both should have a big family. You both are awesome people , and would be awesome parents
Stop it...Why would you want Tiffany to breed continuously....
@@glendamc6040 How would you know what "a big family" is in Bonnie's mind? I seriously doubt she's suggesting 19 kids like Lawson's mom had. In my mind, (for example) based on my own family, a *'big'* family would be three kids! LOL. Besides, Lawson said in the video, they plan to ADOPT as well as have at least one more naturally. :-)
I've always heard 3 at the most with a C Section. I would hope that they would adopt 3 or 4 Older Kids like 4 years old and up because most People want babies so, It'd be nice to adopt a child that may be thinking that they aren't going to be adopted. 😊
He is adorable and you two are great parents.
Lawson, you are so smart and so Godly. Keep it up!
Tiffany, I've never seen a mom so brave. You truly were and are amazing. Will is going to be an amazing man because his parents love God and will teach Will to love him as well
Tiffany you look great already. You've done so good. I love you guys and all the Bates family.
Tiffany pregnancy has really agreed with you! You are even more beautiful. Lawson you are so in with everything. Will you won the lotto with your parents. Welcome to parenting. Love your journey. Ty for sharing.
This video has given me so much joy today! I needed this more than you can imagine. William was born on my grandson, Jayden's 10th birthday! It seems like yesterday that our kids were babies (we had 3 under 3 years old). Now, they are all in their 40's with families of their own. Childhood is such a short season. Savor the blessing of making memories together as a family each and every day. You will cherish those memories in your old age. God bless the 3 of you always. With loads of prayers, love, and gentle hugs from Donna Gulyas in Florida. 🥰🙏💙
Lawson and Tiffany you guys have a lot kind and efficient family to help you
You guys are so precious and especially little Will 💙😍
Lawson, you are an amazing husband, how you’ve been caring for your bride is beyond words. God bless you all on your new journey 🙏🏼
I love you guys for your true realism and your vulnerability with confidence too your smashing this as a team
thank you so much for sharing, I know you're such an inspiration to new parents, I love that you're sharing everything, not just the positive, but as you see babies, our sacrifice with sleep, won't get much sleep until after a year, basically, just got the last and can't wait to see little William grow
Always Always Always love and enjoy your videos baby William is so adorable and handsome. Tiffany you look great and Lawson you have always been so helpful
