Your new mum role fits you so perfectly, Jess!! 🥺 Makiah brings out the best in you and Gabe and we’re living for it 💛
😭💛
Super adore your little family! 🫶🏼 Thank you for sharing snippets of your life’s happiest moments 🥺
Please know that it’s okay to go through what u go through!
Being a mum is never easy but find support in your community, especially ones who are mums your age or going through the same thing as u.
You’re doing well Jess!!❤
thanks for sharing ❤ you’re doing so great !!! pls continue to share your light with us ❤
Jess you wasss so meant to be a mum! Girl your amazing !!! We all get them days and we are with you! My little man 9 months. I literally only blinked. Hope your all well ❤
you're literally so sweet 🥺
You look so cute jess 💛
What do you use for your hair?! It always looks so shiny and nice
never knew that seeing you as a mum would be my favorite version of you. 🥹🫶🏻
Same 🥹 so wholesome
Omg I was saying this to myself too
Same, I melt every single video 🥺
Literally warms my ❤️. I figured she’d be amazing, she’s always been material with milo too 😊
Me too 🥹❤️
Shes 2 months old already? big girl growing so fast 😭 i still can’t believe you’re a mom now. Bless you and your fam ❤
As a older mother myself, Jess soak in every moment you can. I sit here thinking back to my babies and they grew up way to fast. Before you know it they are grown living away. I reflect back on all the memories that is stored in my brain and heart. You look beautiful and being a mother is the best gift God gives us.
Omg!! That part of the video when she talks about worship is exactly how I feel whenever I am just worshiping and being in His presence. It's so peaceful like you can just feel His protection and that instantly calms you just like the baby is fully trusting that the mother is protecting her🥺💗
Might sound weird but you sharing your breakdown really helped me. My baby girl has been here a little over a week and I’ve had about three of those lol The pumping struggle is REAL. And you’re right; it’s like the best time of your life but some days are more of a struggle-bus than others. So grateful for your willingness to share your journey! You’re a terrific mum. 💗
As a new mom myself ( gave birth in April!!) I will tell you- it DOES get easier! Those first months are tough and definitely a huge learning curve. You are doing amazing and it's normal to feel everything you are feeling!! Being a mom is such a huge job but it's so rewarding! You got this girl
Confirmed! I also gave birth in April. Things change from month to month.
They are right!!! I had my in Feb! The first 3 months were sooo stressful! But it gets so much better and easier!!
I have a 3&4 year old and I think it gets harder 🤷🏼♀️
I also gave birth on April. I agree with her regarding feeling lonely at times having to taking care of your child on your own while husband away doing work.
It's nice knowing. I am not the only one going through such phase.
Omg Jess motherhood looks so good on you 🥹 you are literally glowing I couldn’t be happier for you. I know it’s difficult but you’re doing so much better than you’re feeling. Always rooting for you ❤
I absolutely loved this! You put it together in such a beautiful way and it’s going to be so special to one day look back on when Makaiah is bigger 🥹 you are an incredible mom! Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable during a more difficult time. You’re so encouraging and kind and you shine for Jesus through your actions and speech in such an authentic way ❤️💐
Aww Jess…I’m a first time mama too and my baby is currently 5 and a half months old…and it does get really hard sometimes. My husband is a “blue collar worker” so he works a really hard, physically demanding job with LONG hours. My baby is also just a more needy baby, if I set him down for anything he screams and he refuses to nap alone…because of this I’ve had many breakdowns because it feels so hard never having a moment alone. That being said, being a mom is also the best thing I’ve ever done, I love my baby more than anything in the world and I wouldn’t change a thing! I just wanted to tell you this to let you know you’re not alone❤️ You’re doing great.
Hey, I'm also a first time mom to a 5.5 month old baby. I couldn't put her down at all without her screaming and then tried taking her to the chiropractor. It changed so much, she would sleep on her own, nap without being held, and could be content on her back/ play mat for a long time. I'd highly recommend it!
Hey, just a small advice. Try white noise! You can find 10 hours long playlists on TH-cam. Place him down and play white noise, it worked wonders for my daughter. She’s 5 years old now and she is my bestie. It gets easier, I promise ❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable with us. We love you so so much! ❤
Mumming is beautiful, hectic, tiring but oh so rewarding. We may look in the mirror and see our tired eyes but our babies look at us and see their entire universe 🥰 Parenthood looks beautiful on you both! God bless xx 💕
I cannot believe Makaiah is nearly 2 months already! Never forget that you’re doing amazing Jess and you’re absolutely bossing parenting. I can imagine that parenting can be overwhelming at times, especially as a first-time parent, but you’re trying your hardest! Be patient with yourself. You and your baby are both learning new things each day. Sending love and positive vibes 🧡
she's older than 2 months now
Never been this early before... You're doing great Jess!! Watching your old videos where you've been speaking of your 'future daughter' makes me happy and emotional for you!! You're doing great mamma💜💜
Being a mom is hard. Trust me, we all go through it. Even though it’s tough. Ik Makaiah appreciates it too. You’re definitely not alone
Is so crazy, I have been following since long distance and it’s so emotional and sweet watching their love and the baby, their new life together! Can’t wait to see more❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🙌🏼🙌🏼THIS being so real, raw and vulnerable! Being a new mom is HARD. No matter how much you prepare. ITS SO different when the baby is actually here. You’re exhausted, stressed, lonely. But at the same time so blissfully happy and full of love! My …”partner” of 10 years left when we found out I was 5 weeks pregnant I chose to proceed with the pregnancy & have done it completely by myself ever since. It is the hardest and most rewarding thing I have ever done! YOU GOT THIS MAMA. 💙💙 sending you so much love.
I’m so sorry you are struggling. We have all been there, I promise it gets better! My mom told me many times, “it’s just so much to ask of a woman. Giving birthing, recovering, feeding, not sleeping.” As helpful as partners can be, it’s okay for it to feel hard. Thinking of you ❤️
have been following you since i saw the engagement video and it's has been so incredible watching gabriel and you, not only grow into better individuals but also as a family, with milo first and now with makaiah. 💛
may your family always be blessed.
Genuinely seeing you grow is like seeing my imaginary older sister grow. Had me tearing up like I’ve known you my whole life🥹💜 I mean I have but you get my point😂💜 Love you Jess! You are the most amazing mum!
Loved this so much. Hope that Gabe's family is staying safe.
Seeing you emotional brings a whole new level of love and appreciation for you. Seeing you as a mother is my absolute favorite
I just want to say you are doing the best job as a mum. For my husband and I’s first baby I was so emotional. I felt bad for having certain feeling and thoughts. It’s completely normal. I wasn’t regretting anything I would never change being a Mom. But the adjustment was like anything something new. And all things are a bit hard for awhile. You have to learn to adjust and adapt to new routines. And it takes time so do not worry or feel bad for having these breakdowns sleep deprivation is a real thing too. My baby didn’t sleep through the night until 6 months! I adjusted and those feelings did get better. And guess what… we got pregnant again 3 months postpartum! Lol it was planned but of course it was a whole new type of adjustment. My first born (son) is now 1 year and 5 months and my second baby (daughter) is 5 months. We are adjusted with having two and while there will always be things we will learn as we go, I am in such a good place. And I owe that all to God and my husbands and family’s support. It really does take a village to help raise a baby. I cannot stress how those date nights and self care time for yourself has helped. Praying for you Jess. You are already handling this so so good! Major accomplishment with the breastfeeding! I tried for the first time with baby 1 and I struggled so much I developed mastitis and ppd hit really hard I was unable to follow through :’( but that’s okay! God taught me specifically during that time that sometimes my plans don’t work out and even though I didn’t understand I knew that he was going to help me with the unexpected change, even if it wasn’t what I planned for my son I knew I needed to give it to God and let Him do a work in me and be open to what He might be teaching me during that time. God made you Makaiah’s mum, it wasn’t by mistake. He knew you and Gabe were perfect to be her parents here on this earth. With love
I know you wrote this for Jess, but as an expecting mom of my first baby, this gave me so much encouragement and helps me to know challenges will arise but God is with us and baby. 🤍
Jess Talking To Kaia Is The Cutest And Sweetest Thing Ever! ❤
God Bless The Trio!🤍🧿
Thank you for making these pregnancy and mum vlogs! It so interesting - I know all mums go through it differently but so lovely to hear your story ❤️
Great update Jess 😍 Being emotional is 100% part of the job description, but these new feelings also help in deepening your connection with God. Glad you're safe and sound back in Nashville. Enjoy settling in as a family of 3 🌻
I want to say it gets SO much better! We had a ROUGH time with our fist. it was such a shift... But then gradually gets better and easier and normal. And definitelty after 19 months was the biggest shift imo. And now we have a second thats already 1,5 XD
I love the realism in this! I am also a new mum of a current 2 month old & its definitely comforting knowing that other mums are feeling the same on some days. Please update this routine each month so I can follow along with my son also!! Bless 🤍
Hun Ive been watching you & Gab since you both met! You guys are amazing & from experience in the mom life your doing amazing girl keep rocking!!!! I had my daughter Isabella Rayne on 12-28-21 & She had me up every 2 hours. It got to the point I was sleep deprived, I literally looked like a zombie. I got so overwhelmed I had a meltdown which included balling my eyes out but with all that i love being a mom and id do anything for her. She's definitely spoiled as shes my first daughter 🥰. I even watched both of you while I was pregnant especially when i felt a bit stressed id watch some of your old vids. Tell Gabe he's a great dad & rocking it. You guys are amazing & with that beautiful baby girl she just makes the puzzle complete. Kiss baby from Isabella & I keep up the great work & stay rocking! Much love from Michigan, USA!!
Awww bubba, you are doing such an amazing job as a Mumma and I am so proud of you in every single way! Love you and miss you so much already xx 😘
My favourite family on the internet ❤️ sending love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Babe you’re doing amazing. Cry all you need, it’s a great way to release those overwhelming emotions! You’re an incredible mum. You’ve got this love ❤
This is so sweet 🥰
That’s crazy that it’s already two months for y’all!!! Y’all are doing amazing!
🤍
Watching you cry made me so emotional 😭💜 you are so pure! I know you had to make a lot of sacrifices and it gets overwhelming but I hope you know that having those days is totally okay and you are such an amazing mum!!🥺💜
Jess, thank you so much for sharing your season of motherhood with all of us. Seeing you as a mommy to a precious little girl is so very beautiful. May the Lord continue to pour unconditional joy and laughter into this season of your journey. Your little girl is absolutely so, so beautiful and already deeply loved by many all over the world. 💛
You're an amazing mother Jesse!! ❤️ thank you for letting us know how you're feeling. Just know we all love you and we are here for you Jesse! When i first became a mom, the first few months was hard doing things on my own as well since my hubby was always there every day. Now with his work schedule is crazy I've had to learn how to do things without him some days and it showed me how much as a mommy we can do and how strong we are! Praying blessings over you and your family! 💕
Oh mama ❤😢.
I’m four weeks postpartum with my 3rd baby.
Hubby back to work. I felt u there in the car you’re doing your best .
Congratulations, I hope everything is going so well💛
Your dad sings so well and his voice is so soothing
Do you know what song is that?
You are literally the most beautiful and purest human ever💜🥹
It is so normal to have a random breakdown as hormones have been all over the place with being pregnant and giving birth and being a new mum. It’s normal. I remember the first 3 months being harder and then it got easier. That was my personal experience. And also, thank you for showing love towards us single parents. It is so life changing to have a baby and to do it alone is a different kind of rollercoaster. I am so glad you have Gabe. You are both amazing parents! 💖 I can tell that little girl is so loved!
I love you Jess, you’re doing an amazing job at this mum gig ❤❤❤
Oh Jess. My heart broke to see you cry. I hope you have lots of support in TN ❤
your hair looks soo shiny! It might be a hard phase now.. but nice to see you well and healthy! Love your vids
Motherhood is hard! And just because something is hard and challenging doesn’t mean it’s bad or we don’t love it. Remember you are only 2 months old as a mother! You know just as much as she does lol you’re doing amazing!
Hard doesn’t mean bad, I LOVE that 💛💛💛
Watching this makes me so excited for my little one to come soon! I love watching your videos. God bless you, Gabe and your beautiful daughter! And it’s ok to be emotional and have these break downs. You’re now a mother and it’s not always going to be roses and rainbows but know that you’re doing great! Your world is now Makiah and that’s such a beautiful thing! ❤
Awww Mama 🥰❤️ sending prayers and big huggs to you and your beautiful family ❤️ love you girl but yeah whenever you feel any time postpartum just talk to someone ok 🥰❤️ and cry and pray love you GOT THIS my beautiful ❤️
I only saw a few minutes of your life as a mom, but don’t worry Jess… you’re doing amazing, both you and Gabe got each other’s back and that’s what parents supposed to do. wish you nothing else but happiness and great life❤
It's a huge adjustment to have children. The mothers are the one that breastfeed/ give a bottle for the most part. I know some husband's help when they can but as a mother we feel a huge responsibility. I was completely able to relate by giving single moms the credit they deserve! I am a stay at home mom and my husband has two full time jobs. There are days when I am home most of the time and I have a 4 year old and a 8 month old. I go through waves of emotions and it's hard to find time for myself. Listening to worship. Reading the Bible and prayer have been so much help 🙏 us mamas are in this together. You can and you will go through this gracefully Jess 🥰
We all believe in you 🙏 ❤️ you are an amazing mum and children are a blessing from the Lord. Just soak in his presence constantly.
Aww Jess you’re such a sweetheart and a great mom! I have admired you so much from girlfriend to fiancé to wife to mom you have always inspired me! I love you so much, you’re a super mom💕💐
My delivery is in just few days.
Your videos are so helpful.
Love you jessss.🌍❤️
Thank you for showing all the raw emotions. Love the authenticity🧡
Not me over here being so emotional during this whole video. Pregnancy hormones 😅 seeing you as a mom singing to your daughter has been so sweet! I’ve been following you since your wedding video so getting to see this season of life is beautiful!! 🤍
Jess!! God bless you sister! I am a momma of 2 now and this brought me to tears, because every emotion you’ve had was very real in my life and thought I was alone in 🥹 It’s a mixture of overwhelming joy and gratitude. And the sense of surprise of “wow I’m a mum🥲🥲🥲”
I pray Strength in the name of Jesus!!! I know it is hard! No I am not a mom but I do understand that it is hard. it is going to be ok!! I am praying for strength for you two!!! Just do what you did just put on your Worship music and just feel the love of Jesus!! And I am praying for peace over your mind and heart!!! I know when you need Jesus the most He will be there and When you don't need Him the most He will still be there!! Just be praying!!! Remember your priceless Jess and that you can do it!!! I know it's hard but you have Jesus to give you the strength you need!! You and Gabriel are amazing and special!! God bless you guys!!🙏🏻😄💖
You were made to be a mom, Jess. 🥹❤️
Awww I'm tearing uppp😭😭
Oh honey it gets soooo much easier. My daughter is 5 years old and she is my bestie!You’ll be able to do the same things you used to do before having her pretty soon.❤
Ohh your breakdown is bringing me to tears🥺
Hi Jess 😍😍 love you 🥰 you are doing your best ... ❤️❤️
I've been waiting 😭 love you guyss so much 💕
Happy Saturday Jess! Have a blessed weekend. Your baby girl is adorable!! 🤍
aaaahhhh finally some stress relieving video 😩✨ looking so pretty mumma jess! 🤍
Oh I feel this so much. I gave birth to our first child 10 days ago. I love being her mom but I absolutely feel you in the roller coaster of emotions- breaking down in tears for no real reason other than the drastic chance in hormones and feeling overwhelmed. My husband is going back to work on Monday as I’m writing this and I know I’m really gonna have to lean into Jesus during this season. I know I’m not even 2 weeks into motherhood, but I am just starting to realize how important it is to take care of myself first. I can’t take care of my baby in the way she needs if I’m not caring for myself first. I’m saying this to myself too, but have some grace on yourself mama, you’re doing an *amazing* job ❤️
Always happy to see an upload from you ☺️💛
Your daughter is so precious 💖

Sending you love, Jess. You're doing great❤
My husband works a full time job and I stay at home with our daughter, he doesn’t get home until around midnight so I am alone for majority of the day. I have had so many breakdowns in the last 3 months but I am so so so grateful I am able to stay at home with her. I wouldn’t trade being a mom for the world but sometimes the littlest things seem so big and the overwhelming feeling takes over haha. Things definitely get easier as time goes on and I’m trying to learn that she won’t be this small forever so even when it’s hard I’m cherishing every moment because one day she won’t want to be rocked to sleep etc. can’t believe makaiah is already 2 months old and our daughters are so close in age. I can’t wait to see them grow up together ❤
I don't have kids but I do really enjoy watching you and Gabe a lot I think that you are an awesome mom and I think that I'm as women I think that even not just as a mom I think that they expect a lot out of us but you know we are meant to tackle the world but life can be hard but I think that that you will get through it and I like seeing the happy side of you
I relate so much! Being a mom is absolutely the best, but the emotional breakdowns when you get a little time to yourself are so real. I really appreciate you showing that. I love that saying it’s so true it really does fill a empty space you didn’t know was there! ❤
You got this Jess!!! You are an awesome mother. Enjoy her! 💞
This made my heart so happy🥰❤️ you're doing amazing Jess!
THAT breakdown is all of us girl at least u have a valid reason , im literally crying for no reason daily but that donut and music is the right way to go about it
So proud of you mum you’re doing such an amazing job makaiah is blessed to have you💛💛🥹
wow, your dad.... such an amazing voice. Please do a duet with him.
You're doing so great Jess! Don't apologise for what you're feeling, feel all the feels, it's totally normal, everything will be okay :) such a precious video, all your videos make me smile throughout, your little family is just pure happiness to watch, thank you for sharing this special time in your life with us 💖
Jess, this was such a beautiful catch up 🥹❤️ You’re so right, seeing sweet Makaiah so peaceful in your presence is such a reminder of how we can lean into God’s peace and presence in every moment. Thanks for sharing your heart!
whenever my husband isn’t around to help me with my baby i genuinely feel for single parents out there. it is so hard to do on your own and i cannot imagine how you do it. 💪🏼
you’re so kind and sweet, and watching the way you and gabe raise makaiah is just so beautiful. the world needs more kind-hearted people like you! 🥹💛
I feel like I grow up with you, Jess. So happy to see you glowing in this new season❤
You are an amazing mother Jess ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh I'm weirdly excited for snow in Tennessee and seeing you guys decorating for Christmas and everything coming up 😭💛
Sooooo excited for Christmas & Christmas vlogs 🙈
Fav human showed up 💛
i love you guys
I just love how real you are! Every mum has their break down days but at the end of the day we’re only human and can do our best for our children. You handled it so well and mummy life looks so perfect on you! You and gable are doing such an amazing job and having the best support system really helps! Such a beautiful family 😭💛
You’re so relatable now that you’re a mom thank you for being real and raw about everything going on in your life.
May our Heavenly Father bless your awesome family. Your precious baby is adorable! You are so beautiful in and out, love your authenticity and strong Faith in Jesus 🌷✝️💝
My daughter is 2 1/2 and I'm having another soon. I want to let you know that it's okay to shower and let makaiah chill on her own for a bit. Like I know you know that, but once you let yourself overcome the anxiety and allow yourself the little luxuries like a shower on your own, it feels so good. Even if she's grumpy, she won't be grumpy for too long, and she'll probably be fine once you pick her up, you're still allowed to have your little luxuries 🌼💛 (depends on your mind state, but even if my kid was grumbling i could just block it out and enjoy my shower)
Please don’t give me wrong. I love Jess and Gabriel. But I got the feeling re-watching her break down 1:05 that it had a bit of a cry for help feel to it. Like, “I didn’t get a chance to shower, I didn’t get a chance to eat yet, it’s 1:30 in the afternoon, he just gets home, and he got me a doughnut for my breakfast.“ And then following with she relates to single-parents. I truly feel for her. She did it in a very respectful way of course. She was being sweet about it saying she does love this, and She’s happy, but it seems as if she’s really hurting. Praying for you Jess! ❤
I’m also really glad she left that part in. Very real and genuine moment it felt like
So happy that you’re documenting this whole journey!🥰 I can’t wait to do this on my channel one day too!
I love you Jess! 🥹 what’s the camera you used for the pictures?
HI JESS
Yay so happy you posted!
You’re SUCH a good mum already 🤍
