20 weeks pregnant with my first baby. His name is Sawyer, and I am so beyond excited to meet him, but very nervous because I feel like I know nothing. I LOVE THESE videos! They are beyond helpful, and just so fun to watch you and your beautiful family. We also have two large dogs who are our babies, so can I hope they handle sawyer as well as Cashew does Sage! ❤️
She’s adorable, I’ve always found you make all the noise as usual, run vacuum anything so they get used to sleeping with noise, it made such a difference for me, Cashew is so cute with her 😀❤️🍼🐶
So cute!!! Keep the noises going! As long as you don’t keep it super quiet every time she is sleeping as she grows she’ll be good and sleep through it all!
Sage is the sweetest baby ever! Pee, poop, projectile vomiting, crying and lack of sleep. Welcome to parent life. It's all worth it. Cashew has a new sis. now I am hooked on your videos so much. I am dying to be a grandmother. I love seeing all the things you have for Sage. My boys are 27 and 24 so I have a lot to catch up on. I also love the fact Nicole that you promote healthy eating and exercise.
Okay this video is really cute and I love the journey I’ve seen you guys on but PLEASE TELL ME WHAT DIFFUSER YOU ARE USING BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO COOL AND I NEED IT
My son is almost 5 wks, also strawberry blonde hair. It was like this for us up til wk 3, we had to transition to napping in dark room with white noises.
S as good tip I learned is never change your normal day! Regardless of the noise, she might wake up but if you keep it up, you won’t ever have to tip toe around the house!
Never been pregnant but I'm glad you mentioned the Frida line. I use it myself for heavy periods and other issues down there like UTIs which I'm prone to. Definitely a worth product line. 😊
When I was going through the postpartum stage at the very beginning in the hospital I felt like the peri bottle that they provided was not enough water! So I used a rinsed out Gatorade bottle and that did the trick lol!!! Little hacks to make the healing stage a bit easier & repurposing things haha
Nikole! Been a long time watcher of yours, and just had to share my happy news that we are pregnant! Can’t wait to binge watch all your baby videos now xo
My one tip is don’t get your baby used to being held while sleeping!! I didn’t ever put mine down in the first two weeks during the day basically & now she’s two months & still expects to be held while asleep 🙃
@@carlypickard4962 I agree... I just wish I put mine down sometimes cause now she won’t sleep on her own & you aren’t supposed to sleep train until 6 months. Like if your baby is crying I agree hold them but they can nap on their own if they are content & I didn’t even do that 😅
@@olivia_ismyname Fair enough when they get a little older but her baby is only a week or so old here so perfectly fine to have all the cuddles! Cherish those moments,my kids are 8 and 5 now and I wish I could have another day to hold them as a tiny baby haha xx
@@olivia_ismyname I used to play music, hold bubs until they are almost fully asleep and then set them down. Then the music lulls them to sleep. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries, but you get there.
She is absolutely adorable!!! Congrats on being new parents. I use the valor as well but never put it on sore muscles. I use the deep relief or the ortho ease. Those are great too
Cabbage leaves are also good for a forceful letdown if you have one that's what my dads sister in law told me. Mine was very forceful for a while due to having to pump so soon and my son would choke on my milk.
Really enjoyed this video ❤️❤️ I'm 38 weeks today and can't wait to meet my babygirl 😩 I'm also currently experiencing cramps and stuffs like that but I'm jus super excited 😀😀
Ok my FAVORITE parts were how you 2 greeted Cashew when she came home, TOTALLY MELTED MY ❤️! It’s so important to make our furbabies feel extra special so they won’t think that she will get pushed aside because you have a baby now! My other favorite part was when Cashew first met Sage.....SOOOO ADORABLE! Cashew is going to protect her baby sissy! ❤️ CONGRATS AGAIN! 😊
Hi! I’m sure you are getting all kinds of tips... BUT You spoke about your stomach. For a tummy I used a light waist trainer to put everything back to normal after birth. My doctor suggested it and now I’m smaller then when I started. It wasn’t like Kardashian type. But a thicker band material, so everything would go back into place. Since your hips separate. It kind of puts them back together is how my doctor explained it. Got mine at target.
Omg...she is so cute...u r lucky if she sleeps through sounds...my baby girl is 16 months old and we have to maintain dead silence when she sleeps...and its hard...we have so many birds where we live...day time naps are struggle...hopefully she sleeps same
It’s a really good habit to say to her ‘sage, noise’ when you’re gonna make a loud noise. It was so helpful for the vacuums, hand driers when you’re out and about etc! I still do it with my 4 year old!
Wow !! So precious ! loooove watching you become first time parents! You’re both excellent parents i’m sure! Can’t wait to see more of your little angel! Cashew’s great!!
Congratulations 🎉👏! Sage is adorable and so cute! I can't believe how good you look both during and after pregnancy! Hope Parenthood has been well on both of you these past days! I can definitely see Cashew and Sage's bond grow so close!
If you had to “choose” : What would you say was more difficult : 1. 1 year lockdown with no money 2. Or 1 year as a first time mum I’m trying to understand the difficulty so I’m “ready” . I had a terrible year (as most people) but life didn’t give me a break . So I’m like if i make it alive 😂 maybe i will make it as a mum . As you understand I’m scared because everyone is telling me forget sleep ,forget your life , forget your friends , forget your relationship with your husband, and the list goes on .
We use cabbage leaves to DRY UP our milk! Just FYI :) Oh and baby falling asleep while you talk WILL change. She will grow and be curious and start fighting naps but its so sweet to watch them grow and learn!
Wow you are such a natural at being a mom. You prepared well and are doing all the right things that most new moms discover a lot later. Baby sage is such a cutie. Lots of love to the the baby and healing vibes for you
You're doing so good! You look so relaxed and not like you just gave birth at all. For a lot of people the first weeks are quite stressful, full of insecurities, harder than they expected, maybe even a little disappointing, also because of the lack of sleep. But I don't see that in you which is so beautiful.
There's a really good recent episode of the pregnancy podcast all about how to raise a baby with a doggo. A ton of great tips for how to make sure your pup still feels loved (just to be clear this isn't a criticism of what you guys are doing at all, I just thought it was a great episode.)
Hi .. I’m first time mom n 37 weeks pregnant.. when my baby delivery no body will help as a new mom .. only my husband.. may i ask? Are this video when u are 1 week after delivery? Do we will be able to do everything on our own as usual like cooking and take care baby and do some chores ourselves?? Thankyou so much 🙏🙏🙏
Congratulations!!!!! Loving seeing your content! Matt is doing great! My husband also did skin to skin, you two are rocking parent life ! Sweet cashew is being so great with baby sage ! 💜💜💜 as parents watching your newborn all day never gets tiring!
I’m about to have my 3rd baby and I’m still scared.. 🤷🏼♀️😐 my children are spaced apart not close in age at all. So it’s been 11 years since my last baby.
Beautiful baby with a beautiful family! Like you, i make many pancakes at one time - and wrap some in parchment paper inside a Ziploc bag for later). Have lately been adding extra eggs (for enhanced protein) & yoghurt, (instead of milk or water)...the yoghurt makes pancakes supper fluffy and spongy (even when reheating after freezing!) Worth a try?❤🌺
Oh my gosh, Cashew resting her head by Sage and just staring at her was the sweetest thing!!💖💚
Cashew laying her head down next to her like she was keeping watch was the most adorable thing. So happy for you guys. God bless

Your hubby is a natural! You can tell he’s going to be an awesome father
I’m so impressed with how much energy you have!
So cute!!! Keep the noises going! As long as you don’t keep it super quiet every time she is sleeping as she grows she’ll be good and sleep through it all!
Will you share your labor story? It's so nice of you to be caring about cashews needs too. And she looks so gentle around her.
Sage is the sweetest baby ever! Pee, poop, projectile vomiting, crying and lack of sleep. Welcome to parent life. It's all worth it. Cashew has a new sis. now I am hooked on your videos so much.

Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested 😘😘😘😘
SHES SO CUTE!! This is my daily dose of serotonin
I feel like she was MEANT to be a mummy! She’s so good at it. And she looks like she still has energy 😂😂
Your right
Omg cashew is such a good girl. Just staring at her little sister. It's the cutest thing ever!!! 😍😍🥰🥰
This brings back memories! She is so tiny and those newborn cries 🥰 Congratulations!
I have been with you since the beginning, and now the start of a new beginning.
Okay this video is really cute and I love the journey I’ve seen you guys on but PLEASE TELL ME WHAT DIFFUSER YOU ARE USING BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO COOL AND I NEED IT
Aww the individual attention you guys give Cashew is so heart warming!!💕💕 🐕
OMG! Cashew is sooo in love with her new sister. The way she looks at her.. 🥰
My son is almost 5 wks, also strawberry blonde hair. It was like this for us up til wk 3, we had to transition to napping in dark room with white noises.
Congratulations Nicole and Matt on your sweet bundle on joy. May God always bless and watch over Sage.
S as good tip I learned is never change your normal day! Regardless of the noise, she might wake up but if you keep it up, you won’t ever have to tip toe around the house!
I love how inclusive you’ve been with cashew!!! So cute together!
Sage is sooo adorable and such a cuttie!
Cashew is playing her part as a good "sister" and you're doing a wonderful job as parents💕
Thank you🥰
She’s beautiful, enjoy this time because it goes by so fast. Your killing it already, being awesome in motherhood!
Words cannot express how happy I am for you guys!! Sage is precious and you two are already great parents!!!💖💚😁
Never been pregnant but I'm glad you mentioned the Frida line. I use it myself for heavy periods and other issues down there like UTIs which I'm prone to. Definitely a worth product line. 😊
Beautiful family. Parenthood agrees with you both. Congratulations!!
Awwww she is so pretty ! Seeing Cashew meet her for the first time brought tears of joy to my eyes!
🧡😊🌿 Lots of love 🌿😊 🧡
Btw you and Matt are the sweetest parents lil sage is so lucky!
The best dog and baby. Best friends forever! ✨😀 Cashew was like my baby, I’m protecting her ❤❤❤
When I was going through the postpartum stage at the very beginning in the hospital I felt like the peri bottle that they provided was not enough water! So I used a rinsed out Gatorade bottle and that did the trick lol!!! Little hacks to make the healing stage a bit easier & repurposing things haha
I can’t relate enough to this! I have 3 😂
What are the peri bottles for?☺️

CORRECT
I’m sorry but you can’t spoil a newborn baby. The first two weeks of their life’s they should be as close to mama as possible!
@@carlypickard4962 I agree... I just wish I put mine down sometimes cause now she won’t sleep on her own & you aren’t supposed to sleep train until 6 months. Like if your baby is crying I agree hold them but they can nap on their own if they are content & I didn’t even do that 😅

Ughhhh that mint green onesie is PRETTYYYY 😩🥰. I love Sage and Cashews interactions it’s too cute!

cashew has got to be THE cutest name for a dog
You’re looking radiant!
Can you share where you got the white bralette you’re wearing in your post-shower routine?
Looks like one American Eagle has.
Are you planning on posting a labor/delivery or birth vlog?
You're doing so good! You look so relaxed and not like you just gave birth at all. For a lot of people the first weeks are quite stressful, full of insecurities, harder than they expected, maybe even a little disappointing, also because of the lack of sleep. But I don't see that in you which is so beautiful.
omg Cashew is so sweet to his lil sis
You're doing such a good job! My sister is being induced tomorrow! I'm so excited xxx
Such a special moment! Enjoy🥰
cashew is such a sweet puppy
Do you have a recipe of your amazingly looking pancakes in your cookbook?
There's a really good recent episode of the pregnancy podcast all about how to raise a baby with a doggo. A ton of great tips for how to make sure your pup still feels loved (just to be clear this isn't a criticism of what you guys are doing at all, I just thought it was a great episode.)
She is Beautiful. And she will Sleep through loud noises if you don't make everything quiet they get use to it.
I love sage’s headband, where did you get it?
