Mayaaaaa👋🏽💓 I’m usually a silent watcher but commenting this in hopes that you see it. I’m a young 25 yr old mom/wife here and lemme just say it absolutely gets so much easier! I had my first at 19 and absolutely didn’t know what i was doing. Now I have a 4 yr old, 3 yr old and new baby due in July🥰🥳 when it got to the point of my older ones getting big enough to comfortably be outside baby we was OUTSIDEEEE! It gets to the point where we leave my husband home and me and the girls are out the door lol! No need to have all hands on deck. So to any mom also here who sees this the reward is absolutely on the way! I literally love being able to do all the family activities together and not stressing about the chaos🫶🏽
I love this!! Yesss, I can relate & testify! ❤
@@daaiyahdavis literally the best feeling!
I needed to hear this 🥹thank you for sharing .I have a 4 month old and been hoping to just get to the point of feeling like I have all my ducks in a row.
@@Nokuthaba_M trust me with my new one on the way i know it’s about to be war😂 but knowing what’s at the finish line, it’s just a matter of pushing through the tough part first. Everything will be smooth sailing for you in justttt a few months you got this💓 only a matter of time and prayer 🫶🏽
Oooooff. I have a 14 month old and BAYBEE it takes is 2 hrs for her and I to get out the door and then hoping and praying I have everything to keep her entertained while out. We rethink going to restaurants and some outdoor places because she’s a super active, curious toddler. Thank you for giving me hope because this ain’t for the weak. 😅
I remember one day I was taking a walk with baby girl by the lake in downtown Oakland where i live & I didn’t know how but either God or she sensed my energy me grieving my old life, but this homeless lady just approached me & was like “ Girl your baby is so beautiful, u ain’t missing out on nothing” & was like damn that’s what I needed to hear 🥰💕🌸😁
God is good 🥳
This was so beautiful and what I needed to see
Girl I grieve my old life too. My baby girl is 7 months now. It’s ok to grieve. Let’s just try to enjoy these moments because they will get older
I’m 31 and 6 months pregnant with my first baby! I’m so excited but extremely scared. I needed this❤
You'll do great! Just trust the process and take things as they come ✨️ I'm also due around July
Same same!!! Good luck momma! My due date is July 28th 💙
I wish we could have a group 🥺 I’m 6 months now
Saving this for when I have my future baby 😅♥
Literally, years later but this video is saved
Maya, our sons are one day apart with biblical E names. My son’s name is Ezekiel 🩵
What a handsome name ❤
Awww... that's my son's name ❤❤❤
The prayer at the end 🙏🏾🩷🩷🩷
Yes Absolutely 👍🏾 ❤❤
My baby is 1 month old and you're right, the nights are sooo looong! I love how you said not to let being a new mom tear you down as a person bc having no idea what you're doing will definitely make you question yourself. Esp when your baby is screaming and crying for 2 hours at 3am and you have no idea how to help them 😩
This video had me in tears 🥲 I'm a single mom to an 8 year old princess and I love how authentic your content is. Your prayer spoke to me so much, thank you 🤍 may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family x
Absolutely 😢😊❤
The maturity and wisdom God has given Maya ❤wow… I pray for more grace and strength and peace. His hands be upon you Maya!
Absolutely, amen 🙏🏾 God is good! His timing is ALWAYS on time. Thank you, girl. 22 with a 2 month and sadly unmarried but fighting tooth and nail for my boyfriends/farther of my child closer to the God I was raised to know but strayed twice away from. Barely above water with all the things ,currently happening, in my life but when my eyes look to the Heavens…never let go females. Never lose your sight. Take it and run with it. I’m thankful I can still continuously grab Him but the years of not having Him in my life it’s showing.
Jesus is good. He puts such a beautiful glow upon His children. No other man can compare, not even our husbands. I thank you girl for taking a hold of Him and not letting go.
I am loving the consistency. whether it’s 1 hour long or 10 minutes, I get excited every time😊💕
Pray for me maya on my journey of trying to conceive and it hasnt been easy🤍🙏🏽
Praying for you friend💗
It will happen. Believe it and it will. It took me years to have one and it happened naturally and was a healthy pregnancy at 41. No issues baby healthy as well.
I NEEDED that prayer! Thank you 🙏🏽
One thing you gon do is pray us through! 🙌🏽🙏🏽 AMEN!!!!
I want to be a mom 😊 God spoke to me about it last year and I’ve had dreams so I look forward thanks for the info 🩷👍🏾
Hey Maya! I am a 25 yr old mom and wife with an 18 month and currently expecting my 2nd in September 😄. I loved this video and agree to EVERYTHING. you said. I am such a planner and always looking into the future and having my first really made me slow down and just soak in the moments. Now that I am pregnant with 2nd wayyy sooner than I expected ( but of course God makes no mistakes 🙏) I am starting to be even more intentional about being in the moment 🥰Blessings
I’m so glad I came across this video ! We’re expecting our first on 8/31 , a baby boy . I needed to hear this thank you 💙
I’m 20 about to be a first time mom next month. Thank you so much for this video❤ so incredibly helpful and kind
MAYA YOU ARE SOO REAL AND TRANSPARENT 💞💞💞🫶🏾 I loveeee you sis and I always say that I wish I had you when I had my first son but I’m soo grateful for everything! My son is about to be 5 and my daughter about to be 4💞 and you are soo right experience is truly the teacher! & My next will be a different experience now that I have that leg in motherhood 🙌🏾💞& This makes me soo excited to have my third When God declares it to be that time! 🩷
Amen Maya!! This video came at the perfect time. I am 24 years old and expecting my first baby any day now. Thank you for your transparency and thank you for your prayers. I love you gowl ❤️❤️
Amen! I’m new here! I have watched a bunch of Mom to be videos while trying and preparing. The exciting time has officially come and I’m so grateful God placed me on your channel! This video and the baby essentials video was hands down the best I’ve watched. I knew there was something different about you like a light and the prayer at the end confirmed that. Thank you for your prayer. Many blessings to you and your family❤️🙏🏾
i needed that prayer in the end, thank you Maya 🩵🙏🏽 your prayers in your videos are so moving and i feel The Holy Spirit 💞
Maya that was so beautiful. Thank you, Thank the lord that I have you in my life because I can’t imagine this life without you. Please, I beg you, please don’t forget how amazing you are. Thank you Maya, thank you! I’ll keep you in my prayers!!! Thank you, thank you,thank you.❤🙏🏾
My beautiful daughter 🥰
You’re so right about overconsumption babies really don’t need much!!
❤ immediately grateful for your prayers and friendship.. thank you Maya for the encouragements.. I do love my daughter Journey.. I'm ready for my son.. mother hood is much more amazing with an honest companion being the present non negligent father.. stress hurts but finding happiness isn't difficult when being righteous with God..
I can't express how much it means for you to acknowledge that bonding with your baby doesn't just happen right away. I feel so validated and it really helps with my mom guilt. My baby is also 4 months, and I would LOVE for you to share your methods with getting baby to sleep through the night. Love you! ❤
Praise the Lord for you! I’m a first time mom of a 2 month old and this was sooo refreshing so thank you! ❤
Hey Maya. I love watching your videos. I really needed to watch this video. I’m 5 months now and first time mom. I’m doing a lot of stuff out of fear, so this video really helps. Thank you for posting and being yourself. 💯🙏🏽🤎
You are an inspiration to so many young moms out there...shoot old moms too... Take good care Maya😊
Ahh! A thank you for this video! We are trying (and completely believing for) baby #1 and I’m saving this🙏🏾🙌🏾
That prayer was powerful and needed! Currently, 32+3wks pregnant with my 1st and feeling behind on everything (buying stuff, setting up rooms, reading materials, house Reno's, etc). So I received this video at the right time! Thank you sister, God bless ❤🙏🏾
Needed that prayer, thank you so much. ❤️
Very interesting. I am a mother of three grown girls and two granddaughters. I love watching you, you're so loving. God bless you and your beautiful family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That prayer!! ✨✨
Thank you Maya 🩷🫶🏼
Your prayer at the end had me teary eyed! Thank you SO much for speaking the word over so many of us, it is so needed. My first baby is due in a few months and I’m starting to feel nervous, but your videos are so soothing and encouraging. Thank you for shining the light of Jesus so bright on this platform. ❤
Maya maya maya!!! I love love love love love your videos!! 🥰
I LOVE YOUUUUUU BEAUTIFUL MAYA!!!!!
I miss your faith based podcast episodes you did with your husband, will those be returning?
Just came across this video, i am a first time mom and girl it has been hard! but thank you for this video please upload more videos on motherhood
I needed to hear this😢 thanks MY💕 AMEN
Yessss Maya!!! You better pray girl. I’m 22 and going through some rough parts of pregnancy and that prayer truly spoke to my soul❤ The Lord is using you so mightily to touch women and mothers. Thank you!!
Thank you this is all I can say... You really lifting me up thank you and God bless you
Circumcision tips: As a Jew we circumcize our boys after 8 days of birth (if all is well, no jaundice or premature birth etc) and the mohel (guy who performs the ritual Jewish circumcision) told us to put pure shea butter on the gauze between diaper changes and if able to just soak bottom half of the babys body in warm water, without getting the ambilical cord wet. This helps speed up healing. You can just let the gauze fall off in the water then when baby is dried off put clean diaper with new shea butter covered gauze on the wound and your good. Just expect the second and third day after the circumcision that the baby will be fussy and in alot of pain.
Maya Girl. You have no idea, this has helped me so much. I’m a soon to be mom, I’m due in September and just been overwhelmed. Thank you for this 🥺💕
Found out yesterday I'm going to be a mom 🤰🍼so I knew I needed to get on your channel and watch 😅thank you 🙏
Thanks Maya !!! Needed this
Blessings to all of you, mothers & mothers to be. Be strong and courageous.
Thank you so much for this! Especially the prayer at the end❤
Girl, when I tell you the Thumbnail is really Giving YT. Like I’ve been on this platform I really do this for real😍😂
Come on prayer at the end! So necessary! Thank you! ❤️
Amen for the prayer! I receive, thank you! 🙏🏽💕
Binge watching your videos, because they are what I need right now😊
I can’t wait to be in love and have family Maya I crave it so bad❤❤ you are goals❤
I have two children 4 years and 2 years and I honestly forget these things. But looking back I have definitely experienced them all and I’m glad you mentioned this because we are preparing for our 3rd 🫶🏽 always great content
Thank you so much for this video and your amazing prayer 🙏 🤞🏽😘🥰
Mayaaaaa! Thank you!! That prayer was everything I needed ❤
This video literally left me in tears. Everything you said is 100% true & couldn’t have been put in a better way. Im excited for my second child just to show my growth from what I experienced with my first! Genesis and my son are exactly a month a part & I look at them as cousins 😆 after literally watching her grow up at the same time as him meanwhile practically going through the same stages! It was such an experience because I felt like I had someone there with me the entire time who understood just what I was going through. Even now at the toddler stage, I know all about the french fry and oatmeal diet. Its to the point where my husband knows who you guys are now haha! I love you Maya & thanks for the Prayer ❤ lord knows I needed it at the moment.
I’m so grateful have you apart of this journey friend🥹🤍
Currently 5 months pregnant 😩 I needed this thank you so much!! ❤️
Powerful prayer my good sis!
I'm due on 17th of April (sooo in two days) and this video HELPED ME SO MUUUCH
Thank you, thank you Maya, God bless your beautiful little perfect family 💕💕💕💕💕
Love you mama , wish I had a friend like you in real life.
🥹🩷🩵
God bless you and your family always ✨
First to comment🥹
And thanyou for the advice Mayaa💕
Due with my first in 7 weeks trying to prepare myself 😩 can’t wait to meet him!
The prayer at the end😩🙌🏾
Mayyaaaaa my girliee 🥰💜 MAMAS, you got every part hands down. I swear i wish i had all this info full tea when i had my daughter 3 years ago. But 100% on the next one i will have all these inna mi pocket! ❤❤
Girrrlll another thing too in substitution is Witch Hazel on your pads girl to help ease the sensitivity.
Myyyyy girrlll 6 weeekkks is well crazy to get down with my husband, my poor hubby was truly in the dog house because mi was nuh ready 😋🤣
The overconsumption tip is true. As a FTM and starting my registry straight up stressed me out at first. Amazon had all these suggested categories and i was just selecting away by the time I finished it was close to 200 items and with no real time experience it was hard to trim it down.
Baby due in the Spring! Thank you for this! 🙏🏽💕
Thank you for this video! I will be in full time school when baby comes. Hubby will be the full time dad so already guilting myself into not bonding and compensating with stuff! But 200$ should honestly be enough to get the essentials for a new born. Excluding car seat/stroller. In the end, It’s going to be okay.
Baby girl this prayer came at the time when I needed. I’m 35 with a baby 2 yr old girl and a 6 weeks old boy. My daughter isn’t coping well at all.
Thanks Maya this was so touching.
Everything came so quickly for me when having him and finding out i was pregnant i went to a appointment my doctor told me i was pregnant next thing i know i was being admitted m had him 2 days later still processing everything after being told i probably couldn't have children after trying for so many years so it's been a lot for me didn't have anything for him so i needed that prayer thank you ❤
Thank you so much for this video!! 😭🫶🏻 I’m almost 30 weeks now expecting my first baby, I’m beyond ecstatic but also very anxious between all the changes I’ve already experienced and know I’m going to endure in the coming months. 🥺 Hears others talk about their own experiences has helped so much. 💞
Love you girl ❤
This was spot on!! 4 months postpartum mom 👶🏽💕 👋🏽
Breastfeeding alleviates post partum depression symptoms. I breastfeed my son for 1.5 years and breastfeeding assisted t me.
I needed this video soooo bad!!! Thank you
Thank you for your kind words in prayer sis. I love you❤
As a older woman with adult children I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated this. Especially towards the end because there are different seasons of motherhood. Not all bad, and not the same for everyone but we share a similar bond as mothers. Right now I am going through a dark time with my adult children who have step away from the faith and are estranged. Mom guilt is real. And life is definitely your best teacher. So I deeply appreciated that prayer. It's only by the grace of GOD that we do what we do as moms, even in the dark and/or challenging times of motherhood. From pregnancy to adulthood. My help comes from the LORD. My hope is in LORD, and I am hopeful. I am grateful for the gift of motherhood. I am grateful for GODS faithfulness in my life and theirs, and the forgiveness the FATHER made obtainable for all through the life, death and resurrection of HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. ❤❤❤
Such a good video!! 😁God bless you and your family. I love that you always mention Jesus. ❤️🔥
Thank you for this video. My baby is 11 days old. This helped so much
I needed all of this!! And I loved the prayer thank you so much,, you are such an encouragement ❤
