Oh!! to hear that little boy say, "I love you" and be so proud of himself for saying it.... my heart just leapt! What joy your little ones give this old Gramma,
I love the fact that you want to give all the children equal chances in life. Children deserve that. I couldn't imagine spreading my time thinly and overlooking the needs of even 1 child. This little girl is like the cherry on top.
I honestly love that you’re considerate of the attention you’re able to give your kids. I feel like a lot of parents just want a lot of kids without realizing how much the children can suffer. Good on y’all 💚 Ps: nothing is wrong with big families I just think it’s not meant for everyone🤷🏻♀️
I'm the youngest of 7 and something else I like to point out is if you have a lot of kids close in age then there is a chance there will be lots of grandbabies being born around the same time in the future. Between the 7 of us there are currently 19 grandbabies. We all want help from our mom and its a lot for her if I'm honest.
U know, I’m not a bit surprised that Rachelle wants only the right amount of kids that she and Justin will be able to give much attention to! I think she’s absolutely right!! Especially for them. I would never expect anything less from Rachelle!! I watch a LOT of family vlogers on UTube, regularly. About 15!! (I’m retired). Out of all of those, in my book, Rachelle is the BEST MOMMY, hands down!!! U CAN TELL, she loves each child, VERY DEEPLY, and that the children and Justin are her world! I’m so happy for them!!
@Nansbbgrand No, they each have 2-5 kids of their own to take care of as well as full time jobs. Their kids are in activities after school too. They definitely have their hands full. They do help with carpooling the kids that are around the same age to their schools or activities. My brother and one of my sisters live about a half hour away from the rest of us which isn't too far, but also is a distance to factor if you're trying to work an early morning job or anything and want them to babysit. We also don't all work the same shift. My oldest sister passed away a couple years ago so my mom is raising her twin boys as well. I know that isn't the norm, but even before my sister passed my mom was constantly busy trying to help everyone.
Wow, I can't believe how much your belly popped out! It seems like just the other day, your belly wasn't that big.🤗 I'm so excited for baby girl to come.🥰💕
Totally relate even as a non-parent about having multiple kids and wanting to make sure they all get equal attention, and when you talked about their baby books It made me remember my own mum. She was a teen mum, and I got all the attention because it was just me and her. My dad wasn’t in the picture. I have, SO MANY baby books, photo albums etc, I think I actually have the most out of anyone in the family. I was also the first grandchild on both my mum and dads side of the family so I was just completely doted on for the first few years of my life. When my mum had my brother, things obviously changed. I have at least 20 different albums and books and whatnot full to the brim with stuff. My brother, has one little photo album. One. That’s it. I think it’s great you’re trying hard to make an effort to make sure each of your kids gets an equal amount of care and attention and you’re lucky to have such an awesome, attentive and loving husband who is such a wonderful father.
I am so excited for the months to come, been watching since before brynn. The family has flourished through the years and I can only hope to be as good as a parent as you guys are. 🤗💕💜
I absolutely adore this video...You guys are so genuine and i love how much you take each child into consideration ( of course as a parent you always try to but i hope you know what i mean) Also, the fact that you guys have gone through IVF and have conceived naturally after is wonderful and so inspiring
For as far as I can remember, I wanted a big family and for me it was 4... When my husband and I met, we talked about it and he said 4 or 5 (so I knew he was the one ;)) We have 4 wonderful children, 2 boys + 2 girls, all healthy and thriving, but I couldn't get over the fact that we were done... Suddenly, 4 didn't seem like a big family and I was so sad and really sure that we would regret not having a last one... We discussed A LOT and so many tears were shed... We finally agreed on having one more and we got so lucky by getting pregnant on the first month!
You just know. It’s so hard to explain but when you know it’s the last one you feel complete and you can’t imagine having more💁🏻♀️ I have 3 and after the last one I got my tubes tied because I felt complete and I also was ready to have my body back. You will know when it’s the last one once you have the feeling of not really wanting to have more.
As the oldest with LOTS of younger siblings (2 brothers, 2 stepbrothers, a stepsister, a half brother, and a half sister) the quality alone time with parents was the biggest thing I missed from my childhood. I love that you’re putting thought into giving that quality care to each kiddo. (I wouldn’t trade them for the world but it was just a downside!)
Well and not to mention the fact that if people DO sit and think about it, you've always teased that you wanted 5 kids and you actually have 5 kids.. one's just an Angel and that's okay.
I actually found out this week I have a cyst on my ovary and while it could be nothing of course, I thought of the possibly that it could mean I have PCOS. I don't have experience with it or have family with it but I did grow up with someone who suffers from severe PCOS and has had extreme difficulty getting pregnant. The thought did cross my mind "what if this would cause infertility for me?" and that's when I knew I was done having kids because it honestly didn't bother me. I'm 10000% content/satisfied/happy with my 2 kids and now know for sure I am done having kids.
Your beautiful baby bump ,your absolutely glowing ,love your clothes x the boys are so cute , there talking is coming on so much. Emma is the cutest , and is so funny .
Seeing Asher laying on the bed for his echo just brought back so many memories for me. My daughter (almost 29) was born with hand and heart defects. She had open heart surgery when she was 6 years old!
Rachel , I know you had mentioned that you had embryos left to try for baby number four before you found out you got pregnant natural. Have you thought of what your plans are with the embryos? Wondering if you could speak on that. I know people with infertility whom don’t have any children search for that perfect little embryo. Maybe an opportunity to give someone else the chance to become a parent. Also a great way to educate other people that are experiencing similar situations.
I'm currently pregnant with my last baby as well. it's #3 for us. I wanted for but I've had a ton of medical problems before and during this pregnancy so we made the decision for me to have a hysterectomy (endometriosis sufferer) after this baby is born. so I can have some normalcy to my life back and be as pain free as possible so I can fully enjoy the children I did get lucky enough to have. it's definitely been a struggle knowing it's my last and I've felt like I've reached and grabbed at every opportunity to cherish every tiny little moment this time!
Hello Brittany! I seen your comment and finally somebody that suffers from endo like me haha I haven’t really found anybody suffering from endometriosis just like me… but I was wanting to let you know that a hysterectomy will not cure it either… there is no cure… I had to have 18 surgeries done on just my stomach, and I had to have a hysterectomy when I was 19 right after I had my son “ my uterus and cervics was falling out” it was either the hysterectomy or me risk dying and I have 2 kids I needed to be here for 💜 so unfortunately I had to make one of the hardest decisions at only 19 and I did lupron to which is a form of chemo used to cure prostate cancer… well that didn’t work either and neither did the hysterectomy… then I continued to hurt really bad and bleed for months straight and i go back to the dr and my vaginal cuff was completely open so they had to cut me 3 times on my stomach and hip bone to hip bone and now I’m 19 surgeries in and at stage 4 endometriosis… and I hurt worse now then I did 😭🤦♀️ so go over ALL of your options before you choose hysterectomy if it’s only to try to minimize your endometriosis! Cuz taking hormone pills, the hot flashes ect SUCK lol I would get a second opinion!!! That’s what I should have done to but unfortunately it’s to late for me but it’s not for you 💜
@@marciacarson6688 because of me having multiple other medical conditions there isn't many medications I can actually try to help the pain, I did try the oralisa but I only lasted for 5 days on that before I stopped it myself or I was gonna end up dead or hospitalized in psych. I can't be on any birth control. in 2019 I had a lap to have some of my Endo removed but I actually got worse after that. I know a hysterectomy won't cure it but it's really become my last option. last we knew my Endo didn't extend past my pelvis, most of it not even on my uterus but on my pelvic walls. I'm pretty sure right now I have lesions attached to a nerve in my right hip. I'm also expected to deliver a premature baby, I've been in and out of preterm labor since 19 weeks I'm currently 32 weeks and Dr doesn't think I'm making it much farther. my hysterectomy has been 100% my decision that I've been pushing on my Dr not only because of my Endo but because of other medical problems and the fact that I won't be able to have anymore kids without risking their health. with me not able to use any form of birth control, medications for Endo, plus the pain I'm in every single day a hysterectomy has just become the best option for me.
@@marciacarson6688 Hi Monica, I really hope Brittany read your response. I’m so sorry for everything you’ve had to endure. It sounds absolutely horrible going through such a painful experience as yours. I can’t even imagine what you’ve had to deal with throughout your life! By reading your story, I hope your quality of life will improve. Take care, Get well soon!
I just started working this week as a cardiology technologist (I do EKG’s) and work with echo techs! Asher did such an amazing job, what a sweet strong little boy!💗
Rachelle and Justin your both amazing parents to your gorgeous brood. Rachelle your blooming and looking great. Looking forward to baby girl’s arrival. Lots of love to you all xxx 😘
Rachelle your such a wonderful mommy that you wana be able to give each kid the same amt of time your kids are very lucky to have you and Justin as parents ❤
That’s exactly why we stopped at 3. We wanted to afford to travel and be able for each of them to do multiple sports or activities. Even with 3 it’s nuts to get everyone to practice and get everyone’s homework done!
I think limiting your family growth for the reasons you stated is realistic & mature. Soooo many family vloggers having babies to keep views up & money coming into their channel is just disgusting
I just had my 4th in September 2021 & tied my tubes after. Some days it does make me sad that ill never feel another baby growing in my belly but like you said it came down to me being there for all my kids equally & also my body was so tired lol my last pregnancy was so painful . so now we're complete ❤
Oh my God you're so big now good to see the baby bump, praise and breathe again you're so full of energy I love it God bless your family ,,,, love and wishes be your way,
I got pregnant with our first but lost it at 14-1/2 weeks, gender unknown. Then we had our first child (born male) followed by our daughter almost 3 years later which was the spacing I wanted. I had always wanted 3-4 children and my now-ex husband wanted 2-3. (We are both the youngest - me of 5 and him of 3). It took us two years of discussions before we finally decided to have one more baby and our son was born early and came 2 days before his sister’s 3rd birthday. Our youngest was a little monkey and brought so much laughter and more joy to our family. I was definitely done after our 3rd living child was born. They are all in their 20’s now.
You should definitely look into getting a firebox or something to put all of those keepsakes in just in case something happens you won't lose them. Makes me super nervous seeing it just in a closet area.
I remember when I found I was pregnant with my 2nd child I felt sooo guilty because my daughter was only 3 months old I would cry everyday because I thought I stole my full attention from her . It’s the worst feeling . I wouldn’t change anything of course! You look beautiful Rachelle . ❤️
You & Justin have an AMAZING family & my prayers 🙏 are always with you. Even though you don't know me but I have watched your videos for such a long time & whenever I need a pick me up for whatever reason I automatically go to your channel . You two are AMAZING parents & the children are awesome . You are truly blessed on so many levels & good luck on the upcoming arrival of baby girl, praying 🙏 for a healthy baby girl & much love to your whole family.
I am the youngest of 4 2 boys and 2 girls and I always thought it was perfect! We have always been so close and me and my sister are best friends and my brothers are best friends!!
you are making such a strong decision but i think you are right..i have problems giving all the attention to my single daugther cant even think about having 4 (i regularly deal with depression so thats why) but i have immense respect for you but i do have a question what are you doing with your frozen embryos ? is it an idea to put them up for adoption, that coud make another couple struggling with infertility happy but im just giving a suggestion. i support your family through thick AND thin!
Rachel you are amazing, I wish I had your knowledge when I had my kids especially when I had my first at 16. Your kids are so lucky to have such a beautiful and wonderful mommy 🥰
I'm doing the journal between mom and me my son is much older than asher and Reuben but it's still something maybe to look into maybe when they are 3 or 4 a mother son keepsake journal I think they have one for moms and daughters too
I have to say that you & Justin are such awesome parents 🥰. Sorry I’ve not been posting but after losing my brother & then 2 months after I lost my husband, I’ve kind of not been watching very much at all but I’m now trying to catch up on the important videos I love to watch and your family is right up there in my top choices xxx
I think our parents back in the day for baby books wasn’t a big deal 😂 mine and my husbands baby books hardly have anything in them but for my daughter I wrote everything! Lol
I must be allowed to say that you are an amazing mummy. Your children are truly blessed to be born into the family you and your husband have created for them ❤️
we all have our own reasons and i love hearing all perspectives. I always wanted 3 kids and currently have a daughter the same age as Emma and plan on trying for baby #2 next year then plan on having another a year after that and then being done. I could also see myself having a 4th like 10 years later.
Some people may not know, but you will have a total of 5, not 4. The only difference is that Brynn is not earthside, sadly. That may be why you also feel so complete with this being your last baby. Even though she’s not physically in your arms, she’s still your first and I know you and Justin do stuff and have stuff that reminds you of her. It looks to me like Brynn (and God) sent this baby girl to complete everything. But, you’re also correct, we never know what God will give us! He performs miracles every day, as you well know! 😉
Wheeeee! You can reeally see Baby Girl popping now!! I’m gonna stick with my TOP Girl’s name for this one.. I think it it’s perfect with Emma, and even the others, too! “Erin”! 😄😘👌♥️💗👶😃👍
My sister had 6 pregnancies her 1st born was a son 2nd baby she had to end the pregnancy cause the baby was not healthy 3rd pregnancy was a boy 4th was a boy but the haert stopped at 13 weeks also had to end the pregnancy then at last she got pregnant with twins a boy and a girl. She is so in heaven with the twins and 4 babies is her best number of babies.
Justin's sister moved ? The baby girl is listening in there thinking what a good mommy I'm gonna meet 💗 can you get more into the book story of you and share more on that book
Oh!! to hear that little boy say, "I love you" and be so proud of himself for saying it.... my heart just leapt! What joy your little ones give this old Gramma,

yes I would love to hear your thoughts too. I was about to ask the same question. Please answer.
My thoughts exactly. Life begins at conception and all deserve that God given life.
She’s done a video on this. They will be donating what’s left
She already did this a while ago, it's in the title so you could look it up :)

you are making such a strong decision but i think you are right..i have problems giving all the attention to my single daugther cant even think about having 4 (i regularly deal with depression so thats why) but i have immense respect for you but i do have a question what are you doing with your frozen embryos ? is it an idea to put them up for adoption, that coud make another couple struggling with infertility happy but im just giving a suggestion. i support your family through thick AND thin!
What house deep cleaning company did you use?
Rachel you are amazing, I wish I had your knowledge when I had my kids especially when I had my first at 16. Your kids are so lucky to have such a beautiful and wonderful mommy 🥰
Both outfits look SOOOO cute with the bump 😭❤️
Cute outfits!
Love watching your family
I'm doing the journal between mom and me my son is much older than asher and Reuben but it's still something maybe to look into maybe when they are 3 or 4 a mother son keepsake journal I think they have one for moms and daughters too
It has been so wonderful watching you grow your family!
Yes for sure! Going from 4 children to 5 is absolutely exhausting!! The biggest transition by far for me! 😮💨
What is your plan for your remaining eggs. Are you going to allow someone to adopt them or will they be destroyed?
can you do a video going through each kid’s “story of you” book?? just a walk down memory lane for all of us if you ever have the time ❤️
Hello I’m never this early & can’t wait to see baby girl !
You are a great mom❣
I think whatever you can afford and comfortable for you. You made it through twins you can handle it.
I love thread up. I ordered one of the boxes that they pick for you.
I just ordered mine for my baby boy ! I asked you a few months ago what ones you used ! I got the green one I’m so excited !
I have to say that you & Justin are such awesome parents 🥰. Sorry I’ve not been posting but after losing my brother & then 2 months after I lost my husband, I’ve kind of not been watching very much at all but I’m now trying to catch up on the important videos I love to watch and your family is right up there in my top choices xxx
I think our parents back in the day for baby books wasn’t a big deal 😂 mine and my husbands baby books hardly have anything in them but for my daughter I wrote everything! Lol
Looks great!
Love your fireplace 🖤
hi! do you have a link for those memory boxes? or a size? thank you!
I must be allowed to say that you are an amazing mummy. Your children are truly blessed to be born into the family you and your husband have created for them ❤️
And you will have so much fun with your new baby
Hello from Tuscumbia, Alabama
I enjoy watching y'all on TH-cam
we all have our own reasons and i love hearing all perspectives. I always wanted 3 kids and currently have a daughter the same age as Emma and plan on trying for baby #2 next year then plan on having another a year after that and then being done. I could also see myself having a 4th like 10 years later.
I would love to see a video of their books and what items you saved and put in their boxes.
I love the overall's !
Hi there hope you don't mind me asking but do ThredUp ship to England? Thanks so much.
They don't, only america and canada
Some people may not know, but you will have a total of 5, not 4. The only difference is that Brynn is not earthside, sadly. That may be why you also feel so complete with this being your last baby. Even though she’s not physically in your arms, she’s still your first and I know you and Justin do stuff and have stuff that reminds you of her. It looks to me like Brynn (and God) sent this baby girl to complete everything. But, you’re also correct, we never know what God will give us! He performs miracles every day, as you well know! 😉
this is amazing! you are such a great mom 🥰
Awww your belly!! Its so adorable! 😭 I want a 4th baby so bad!!!
Wheeeee! You can reeally see Baby Girl popping now!!
I’m gonna stick with my TOP Girl’s name for this one.. I think it it’s perfect with Emma, and even the others, too! “Erin”! 😄😘👌♥️💗👶😃👍
My sister had 6 pregnancies her 1st born was a son 2nd baby she had to end the pregnancy cause the baby was not healthy 3rd pregnancy was a boy 4th was a boy but the haert stopped at 13 weeks also had to end the pregnancy then at last she got pregnant with twins a boy and a girl. She is so in heaven with the twins and 4 babies is her best number of babies.
Asher looks SO MUCH like Emma!
Technically you both kind of won because overall you have five kids but you have four on Earth!! 💚💚💚💚💚
Sweet Rachelle it's only thr second week in March! We can still get some cold weather! 69 year old California native!!❤😊
i love thred up!
I love you Rachelle
I'm 20wks pregnant with baby girl #5 ..this is definitely my last 💓
good afternoon rachelle can you let me know if thredup would post to the uk thanks x
God bless
Can't wait for baby girl to arrive and see if she will be a cute red head as well.
Will you guys be doing a name reveal before she is born??
Where is your purse from? 😍
What do you think you will do with your other fertilized embryos?
just a random thought but i think it would be best to have their memory boxes in something fire/water proof! you never know what could happen
Justin's sister moved ? The baby girl is listening in there thinking what a good mommy I'm gonna meet 💗 can you get more into the book story of you and share more on that book
Where are those grey pants from ?? I need !
Rachelle, what kind of dog is Beau?
I think it just seems like fate or kismet that the final baby girl came about the way she did.
Its good to have one on one with the twins
Wow I’m literally surprised on how close you are halfway through your pregnancy..
What are you going to do with any leftover embryos?
