The 1-2 transition gets SOOOOO much easier! I have a 3 and 2 year old and the first 6 months were really tough, but now each other is the first person the other asks for every time they wake up ❤ they’re little best friends and stick up for each other. It’s beautiful.
The situation with James sounds exactly like the first months when I brought home my baby girl with my older son. I cried so much and felt so guilty. It turned into neutrality, and eventually an amazing bond. Now she’s 16 months and he is literally obsessed with her. They are best friends and never want to be without each other. It gets better ❤
You carry yourself with such beautiful grace, no matter the circumstances, challenging or easy peasy, you always think of others and mention that they may have been in the same situation or not, and that it’s ok. Your grace, faithfulness to the Lord, and humility are such beautiful qualities. God Bless you and your whole family.
Why did your mama’s kiss bring tears to my eyes? 🥹 I hope my daughter and I are always close & I can kiss her on the cheek when she’s all grown up just like I do now as a toddler 💕
Wait YOUR HAIR!😍 Around 15:20, you almost forget your hair is in a pony and it looks like you got a cute mom chop!!! And I LOVE it!!! You could totally pull it off and I’d love to see you try 🤗
@KristinJohnss Happy Mother’s Day! Also, I recently graduated college and wanted you to know how thankful I am for you being someone who has helped me come this far. You have helped encourage and motivate me. Your genuine self is a blessing. THANK YOU for being someone who has helped me come this far! God bless you! 🕊️✨🙌🏽😊
You saying I can go to the gym for 30 min with a bottle and Marcus and it’ll be ok was what u needed to hear! Thank you! Also, I would love to see a video of how you and your mama cultivated such a beautiful mother daughter bond, I think so many of us really need a video like that! ❤
Kristin having a Cath Kidston bag just makes sense! Not sure if it's well known in the US but it's such a popular brand in the UK and suits you so well!! Also Amelia is gorgeous ❤
Kristin I really hope you see this comment and find it hilarious!🤣 I have a 4 year old son named Camper we first heard the name on your channel & loved it so much but our 8 year old doggie is Mila Jane hahahaha did we name our kids after each other’s pups?? Hehe
Love that your second pregnancy and postpartum journey was a better experience this time around. I also felt the same way, I think knowing what to expect helped so much vs being a new mom. My oldest son was 4 going on 5 when I had my second son and he was over the moon with his little brother. Now that they are 6 and 20 months they are inseparable!
Why did I start to cry when your mom immediately gave you a kiss on the cheek when you were talking 😭💛 so sweet. So happy for you Kristin and thanks for sharing. I love the podcast and love how you always shout out God and Jesus whenever you can.
I have a little girl who is 3 years old and my baby boy was born March 1st. When you spoke about the transition I couldn’t help but get teary eyed because we went through something similar but just like you said - things are getting better! God bless your family ❤
Love how you and your mom have a special bond. Me and my mom unfortunately don't have the best relationship. So definitely will make sure me and my daughter are close
My mom said the transition to two was the same as yours. I'm the younger sister to my older brother- 2 years apart. The first day mom and dad brought me home from the hospital....my brother looked at me and said, "send her back!". He then clubbed me over the head when he saw my mom nursing me for the first time and said, "DON'T BITE MOMMY!!" 😬😆 OOF! The boys don't always take too kindly to us little girls coming into the story. They get over it after a while.
Aw I miss your videos and your vibe. I just know if i met you, you would be the sweetest! Btw, I was unaware of the book you published!!(clearly im behind and need to catch up)... when i seen it online i ordered it asap, it's so youuu!! ..and it now has a special place on my book shelf❤Happy Mothers Day!
My son had a good transition to having a little sister. But i have many stories of siblings struggling. It is very hard for parents to handle. It will get even better, just wait!
Happy Mother's day to all the moms and moms-to-be 💐❤️ Amelia, to me, looks more like baby Marcus and James used to looks like baby Kristin. ☺️ She's so precious, my heart!!
Yay Amelia! So precious and plump, we love to see it ☺️ it’s so funny / coincidental we named our first born James also and if/ when we have a girl we are going to name her Millie. ❤ Love you Kristin! Glad to see you on TH-cam again❤
I think it really depends on age and temperament. My 4 year old boy didn’t miss a beat when his baby brother was born but I felt like he could understand what was going on! But all feelings are valid in those little ones, it’s hard going from all the attention to a lot less.
I brought home my baby boy in March and I have a toddler as well. I agree with you that bringing home the new baby was the hardest part, my toddler was not happy about it and I could feel he felt some type of way. I would cry bkus I felt like I betrayed him 😢
I’m pregnant with baby boy #2 and my first son will be turning 3 right when I have this next one. My first is such a mommas boy and is very much an only child. Haha! He sees his cousins all the time that are his age and I do all I can to get him involved in classes or take him to places to be around other kids, but I’m genuinely nervous about what the transition is going to be like. He actually loves looking at babies, but the second I’m holding one, he cries and says “I don’t like that.” Knowing your story and that you’re content with him being a the point where he kinda ignores that she’s around makes me feel a lot better about how I’m projecting the transition to go down. Haha! Who knows, he may surprise me, but Im kinda doubting it. I have two sisters that live by me both pregnant right now and due any minute (dream come true), so I’m hoping having 2 other babies around a few months before his brother shows up at least warms him up to the idea of me holding someone that’s not him. Haha
It’s been 7 years since I gave birth, but one thing I’ll NEVER forget was the crazy bleeding after giving birth and having to wear a diaper. I’ll never forget the nurse helping me change my diaper and the moment I stood up I fainted. I never hear moms talk about that after birth 😅
Just a fun little fact, the word Vuori which was on your hat means mountain in Finnish. 😂 love your work ad been following for years! love from Finland ❤
Amelia was breaking the fourth wall when you were talking about how stressful it was with James and his lip tie. 😂😂 I think she was saying "mom... enough breastfeeding talk" 😂 (since you said on "that's the point" that you talk to much about it... idk I'm pregnant so I love to hear it!)
Wow a stranger in your own body. That’s exactly how I feel about my third baby. (Two weeks old!!) My first two I gained 27-30lbs but my third I gained 50lbs and I feel disgusting. I love love love my three babies and I’m happier postpartum than I was with my first two but my body is just like oh. Wow. I’m trying not to stress though
My first was only a year and a half when I gave birth to number 2. It's pretty sad to think she wasn't even able to express what she was going through.
Was going to name my daughter Amelia until my partner told me he would just end up calling her Amy for short. Nothing wrong with the name Amy but just no 🥲 we ended up naming her Charlotte. Also my mother’s name was Jayne so my sister named her daughter Rory Jayne 🩷
Amelia is such a cutie!! To anyone out there hoping to be a mama one day I'm praying for y'all and sending so much love ❤
I needed this... we've been trying for 6 years now. Thank you.

This this this! It’s just a process! My girls will be best friends forever, I know it ❤
Literally the ONLY TH-cam influencer I get a genuine smile when a video is released. Thank you!!
I still cannot get over how she is just a carbon copy of James!! So adorable
Yes looks like shes holding James lmao i would love if my babies both look alike cuz i love the way my 1st born looks

I’m about to have my first baby, and have always loved the name James. And seeing your cute little boy just solidified it’s the cutest!💗

I almost spit up my lunch when you said “mostly he just ignores her existence.” 😂😂
You’re doing an amazing job momma! ❤️
Happy Mother's Day 🤍

Same story but my brother never got over my existence he’s 30 and I’m 28 and he still wishes he was an only child

Amelia is so cute!! I laughed so much when you said James just basically ignores her existence haha! God bless your beautiful family 🫶
We missed you!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I love this video I also cannot believe how much she looks just like James!
Happy Mother's Day!!💗
Always always love seeing your videos, Kristin!! ❤ you’re a great mom and I’m so glad you are starting to find a new rhythm with the new addition.

hey girl- Loved the video!!!😀😉 Amelia is just so cute!😁 Have a blessed night🥰

Totally recommend a breastfeeding consultant or doula. That helped my postpartum blues so much ❤
Can you link the gray sweater you’re wearing? Looks soo cozy
And that's the point!
💐💛🦋✨ Happy Mother’s Day!
So adorable. what a cutie 🥰
Love this!! Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Congrats on your little princess!
the way i knew she was having a boy and then a girl 😭🫶🏼
Kristin, you are darling, sweet, kind and doing a wonderful job! Jesus loves you!!!🎉

James’s twin!! So gorgeous!
Your mom is so cute. 🥰
What a beautiful baby all that hair❤
Thanks for sharing 😊👍
Gorgeous baby girl!!! My baby girl was born on the same day as James and her name is Mila 🥰
Totally relate to the nickname thing, my daughter’s name is Marceline and I kept saying her nickname would be Mara but we call her Mar ♥️
Home tour sissss😪😪😪
Wow a stranger in your own body. That’s exactly how I feel about my third baby. (Two weeks old!!) My first two I gained 27-30lbs but my third I gained 50lbs and I feel disgusting. I love love love my three babies and I’m happier postpartum than I was with my first two but my body is just like oh. Wow. I’m trying not to stress though
I’ve missed sooo many chapters! I didn’t even know you were pregnant again😅 congrats!
Where’s ur sweater from? It’s so cutee
Another baby with a head full of hair 😍😍
My 5th baby was my biggest 8lbs 4oz as well and baby number 6 is on the way .
Does anyone know where Kristin’s storage cabinet is from?!
My first was only a year and a half when I gave birth to number 2. It's pretty sad to think she wasn't even able to express what she was going through.
Is the “permanent house’s” home tour posted yet?
I literally thought you were holding James, she looked exactly like him!
Wow. My 2.5 year old has the same night sleep as Amelia. He's never slept through the night.
Sweet ❤
would love if you mentioned any postpartum supplements!! Your hair is stunning after both babies💖
does anyone now what happened to their house? Are thry living there or is it a different house?
Was going to name my daughter Amelia until my partner told me he would just end up calling her Amy for short. Nothing wrong with the name Amy but just no 🥲 we ended up naming her Charlotte. Also my mother’s name was Jayne so my sister named her daughter Rory Jayne 🩷
❤❤
I was just all baby
Women are incredible 1000%
God is so amazing, too. He knew what he was doing
Even though ThreadUp doesn’t ship to New Zealand, I still absolutely love when you do ads with them. Seeing your style gives me so much inspo 😍
It’s been over 3 years and the hormones haven’t regulated …. Sadly it doesn’t always go back to “normal “
Kristen why are not using Instagram,?
💔💔💔😍😍😍😍
Did she share her birth somewhere?????
Im confused :(
