Man. Sad that someone’s story has to have a trigger warning. Life doesn’t come with a trigger warning! Y’all are such an amazing family! I appreciate u sharing your journey with us.
Exactly. Be a grownup and then...just dont watch. This is real life and something a whole family is living through. Thosr people are ptobably the same people.. aww i best not say. Just turn it off and be a grown up and stop bring control freaks could be said to those humans
@@andreakelly8701 UNFORTUNATELY not everyone has common Sense enough, Even less than that,..So its posted,they can risk it or be smart😂
I am grateful for the trigger warning. I have a hard time seeing babies suffering! So I’d like to say thank you to her!!
Right?! TH-cam is REALLY prickly about certain content. This is a beautiful video. I find nothing triggering about it. Just a beautiful family.
I agree ❤
You have the voice of an angel when you speak to your sweet baby❤
I recently found your family and Sebastian’s story. And I was just over come with emotion. I am a 60 year old Grandmother and the two of you as young parents have been thru so much! You guys are such wonderful parents and Sebastian is such a beautiful little guy. I actually now find myself going on TH-cam everyday to see how he’s doing. Thank you for sharing Sebastian’s journey. I feel part of the family. Bless all of you.
Same here, I’m 68 i have grandkids, but i watch every day for Sebastian and keep them in my daily prayers.
Thank God for grandmas like y’all ❤
Keep telling your story. Your an inspiration.
I appreciate the warnings because parents have grief and pain of loss...to see your beautiful boy who has survived is a blessing to many, but a heartache and reminder to other's of their loss as their baby did not survive like you sweet one.
I agree & often such trauma causes PTSD so there is no control of the horrendous suffering these symptoms cause at being triggered. Being able to dodge these triggers while still supporting other parents channels is important.
He definitely has his daddy’s beautiful hair! You’re a gorgeous family! God bless you!
The only thing this video triggered was my heart strings. He is beautiful
I had chills watching this. Thank you for telling his story. He has given me a whole new look on life
I'm literally crying... my son Ayson died while I was pregnant with him, I delivered him still born at 6 months pregnant.. there is no pain like losing your child. I can't begin to explain it, but I'm glad you're beautiful little man pulled through, and you get to know the love that you can only get from being a parent. God bless you.
I understand your pain.. much love sent your way xx
Stephanie, I truly understand your pain. My Son passed away 10 years the 8th. I still can't talk about certain things. I can't use certain words. If I do I am afraid I will start screaming and never stop.
Sorry for your loss @Stephaniehovgaard5714
I am so so very sorry.
My wife (before we ever met mind) lost her son as well while she was 6 months pregnant with him. We always light a candle, we’ve released floating lanterns,bought even tiny keepsakes like a baby outfit etc on his birthday. But sadly his real dad didn’t care. So when I met her and she told me, I just said “Well I guess he is our angel boy then” and he always will be. Just bc he’s not here doesn’t mean I still can’t step up and be someone for him. And my wife doesn’t have to be alone each year his birthday comes around. And my wife gained a daughter that I had when I was 19. We met when my daughter was 15 and she just turned 25 in March. We are lgbtq and we are both very lucky to have what we have. An angel boy watching over us and our beautiful daughter. I’m so sorry for your loss ❤ Always know that your son is always with you.
I had brain surgery at 5 days old. So thankful sebastian is doing so well
There’s nothing in this world like the birth of a baby. Just seeing you speak about the moment Sebastian was born and how your face lights up is so heartwarming. 🥰
Wow..what a story ! I’m so happy your little precious baby is okay now. Brings tears to my eyes ! I commend you both for being such amazing parents.
I came across this video and all I can say is wow! First of all thank you for sharing your beautiful baby boy! I commend you guys for your strength throughout your whole journey. Sebastian has left me speechless. He is truly a fighter and he has made it known that God put him on this earth and he is meant to be here, make no mistakes about that. May God continue to bless you and your family ❤️
Wow, what a story, ive been watching you all for awhile now but had no idea how traumatic his first months were. God has truly blessed you all and blessed the world with amazing medical professionals! ❤
I feel for Geo, needing to provide & support his family & being torn with the need to be there with his baby & wife.
Wao that is an amazing testimony... He is truly a warrior. God has given him life maybe even beyond what the Doctor's might have even predicted. I wish him a long healthy life... God Bless your Beautiful family...
God brings all souls here on purpose. Sebastian is here to teach others kindness, love, compassion and that all lives have a soul,purpose.
May he live a healthy long life ,,, n may u see his happiness together ,, lots of love from Pakistan ,
What a blessing he was born at this time. The medical people knew the best thing to do and there was equipment to do it. Bless you all. No triggers except so thankful you all made it.
Life is precious
My daughter had her first heart surgery at 24 hours old for trilagy of fallow she passed away Dec 20th at 18 months of age
God blessed Sebastián he is doing great today 👍 👌
I’m so sorry for your tragic loss.
My younger brother was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, decades ago.
His first surgery was at five days and he had to be flown to a university medical center many hundred miles away.
I was too young then to understand, but he was in surgery before my parents, who had to fly commercial, could get there.
I hope your little girl got to enjoy her brief time here and I am sure she was loved.
My brother was loved and will be always missed.
Youre such a beautiful family and I admire your strength so much and I hope you never have to censor your story for TH-cam. Your story is inspiring and important. I cant imagine finding out my son needed heart surgery let alone so quickly after giving birth. Thank you for sharing with us ❤❤❤
I will have to agree, he was an adorable newborn. Loved this vid, thanks for sharing.
Watching this one word just stands out: STRENGTH that your family of three had and your support family!
Real life should not be a problem, with what we see on screens, etc on everything, but the warning is enough. This is an encouragement to other families, a miracle
It’s so wild to me that you can do surgery on such a tiny baby. Life’s miracles 🥰
Thank you for sharing. I my son was a preemie and then had his kidney removed at around eight months due to cancer. It’s been hard. My husband had heart failure, I had surgery too around that time and then I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis too. It’s been a hard few years. Coming though all this I found you guys on Instagram and I have loved watching him grow. Beautiful baby and family. ❤️
I hope your family is well ❤
Thank you for sharing your sweet little miracle baby’s story. I couldn’t stop crying :’( . God truly was & will be watching over him. He is soooo cute. May God bless his little soul & your family. He’s going to be ok xo sweetheart!
Thanks for sharing this with us! Sebastian is a little warrior! May God bless you all.
Oh my goodness Stephanie. Our experiences are so similar. Listening to your story brings back so much of what we went through. We lived at the hospital too, and we too got a call one morning early to get to the hospital to only see them rushing our son to surgery, nearly same story, my son was also hand same exact color, I’ll never forget it. Ever. God bless y’all.
Well all I can say is he's in good hands with you two!! God is good!!
I just now found you guys. Your story is amazing and Sebastian is beautiful. I watch the 2 videos on his birth but the second one still said to be continued and I looked but I couldn’t find another one. I would love to hear the rest of his story. Thank you
Why is a video of an innocent child be a trigger? Keep up the great work.
Suitable? Viewer discretion? This world has gone mad. God bless you and your family for sharing Sebastian’s story. Its heartwarming and sad and happy and heartbreaking all in one. If that’s going to “trigger” then don’t watch!
Life comes all different ways. Thank your for telling it the way it is- no candy coating. Appreciate you sharing.
Wow, I can so see them racing my 29 year old son down the hall. Screaming and crying running after him. My family stopped me.
Another time in the intensive care unit they had sent everyone out. People were looking in the door windows saying someone had crashed and it was my son at the end of the hall.😢 I feel what you are going through and praise God for our children’s life’s. Continuing to pray for Sebastian. So glad he’s home and your great parents. 🙏❤️🎄🙏❤️🎄🙏
God picked the perfect mom, its obvious how much you love him.
GOD is with that litte baby boy. GOD BLESS HIM.
Your boy was a beautiful baby! That hair and he was so tiny, easy to see why you fell in love with him (other than being his mom and dad, that’s a given) it’s hard to take your eyes off a baby that is born with all that hair. Congratulations on your son.
God im in tears when you got there to see him being rushed to surgery. I feel that emotion
Sebastian is teaching us about resilience and CDLS.
How could ANYONE with a human heart or soul NOT L❤️ve this lil guy at first sight!?..Stay AMAZING MOM N DAD! With all the fanlove and ESPECIALLY what surrounds Sebastian at home,and outside support .
TO ME anyway should feel Honored by being in such SPECIAL PEOPLES LIVES❣️
❤️LOVE FROM MINNESOTA Sebastian 🌈❤️ & Mom n Dad!
Thank you so much for sharing Sebastian's story! What an amazing strong little boy...💙
I think you and Gio are pretty amazing as well!!! I hope you guys have a Merry Christmas 💓🎄🎅
All three of you are so incredibly strong ❤
Sebastian is a cute little boy and his eyelashes are awesome and i know how much he means to you. You will nurture him well and he will thrive.
My granddaughter was born with HIE which is brain damage. She was in the NICU for her first month of life. She is special needs like Sebastian. She has epilepsy and CP and GI issues now so she has the low muscle tone too. She just turned 1 this past march.
He has come so far. God is truly amazing.
I wish I could have half the strength that Sebastian had as a newborn or for that matter the whole time in utero. He is a fighter that precious little boy was a gift from God. God bless all three of you you’re all a bunch of fighters. God bless you and your little family and please tell Sebastian that he is a very loved little boy what a blessing for all of you. 🙏🏼❤️
I admire your strength, your an awesome mom and so is Gio❣️It’s incredible how you explain everything you’ve went through without tears coming out! Hope God keeps blessing your little one🙏🏻 Can’t wait for part 3🥰
Happy Holidays 🎅🏼

Steff I lost a baby it has broke my heart I really appreciate that you thought about other parents that have went through the pain of our babies.thank you so much I been trying find your videos of earlier videos seems I missed alot
You have such a beautiful family. Little Sebastian is too cute!! I had a premie myself that spent quite a bit of time in the NICU and even after all he went through he’s 30 now! Keep your faith and love each other that precious little baby! ❤️
He is a strong lil man tht is for sure...
As I was watching this, I cried. Happy and sadness. I can relate to a lot of it. I had emergency c-sections and both of my babies were NICU babies. I barely saw my babies either. I know the feeling of wanting to see and holding my baby but couldn't. You guys made a beautiful boy! Thank you for sharing! P.S. I love his scar on his chest, I have the same one! I had open heart surgery and have a cool scar on my chest just like Sebastian! 🤗😍
Thank you for sharing your story. It hurts my heart that you went through this but I’m happy Sebastian has such beautiful parents. God Bless you all! ❤️🙏🏼❤️
You've been through so much, I'm sending you all lots of love xx
Stephanie and Gio, I say, “Tough shit” to those people. It’s life. Life is sometimes tough, messy, and complicated. He’s a blessed and lucky boy to have you two for his parents.
Sebastian does look like his father!
Thank you so much for your straight by sharing this personal story! I can’t imagine the pain and stress you’ve felt going through this. You have such a stronger little boy, he’s definitely a fighter. God bless y’all and hope you have a Merry Christmas! ❤️
I have recently found your videos and I feel every emotion as a mom and as a grandma I am so amazed at how I feel the love and such a beautiful sweet family you are God bless you all
My middle son was born at 24 weeks. 2lbs 3 ozs dropped to 1 lb 13 ozs next day. You said the same thing I said about Steven...he looks like a little ole man! The memories at the NICU you never forget. He will be 35 in July 2023 and will be a Dad to #3. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us Sabastian's journey. He's a very handsome young man. May God continue to Bless you both and watch over you all. 💕
I'm new to your Channel I think you're awesome you your husband Sebastian is the sweetest I just want to hug and kiss him I see when he's aware of things and I wish there weren't those kind of people out there that say ugly things but you handle it very well God bless you and your family keep up the videos I love watching Sebastian grow and you two grow with him...
He is a miracle from the Lord!
Stephanie, you are so GRACIOUS. I couldn't be that good... if people can't deal with real life, don't watch. Love your videos. Thank you for the info so much. ❤
Thankyou to you and Gio 🤗. For bringing Sebastian into this world 🌍 He is an amazing little boy.
You are both awesome parents and also both so inspiration ❤️
Thankyou for sharing Sebastian 🤗 with us all
Much Love 🌹 and respect to you both
Sending love always
Omg to go through so much being so little. My heart goes out to both of you n your family. I can't imagine what your life was like. Hugs
God bless you and your husband and the precious little boy he is truly a miracle l pray for your little guy and family during this difficult time you're truly amazing
We have a small miracle baby as well. My sister delivered her son nearly 2 more early. Yes he was 💯 blue. It took 2 weeks to get a diagnosis. A doctor from abroad finally found the problem my sisters water was leaking and his lymph nodes were not fully developed . He stayed for months in the nicu ? Had his lymph nodes been blocked he could not survive surgery so lucky he didn’t need surgery. He was behind in size but he ia an amazing nephew who has written 1000 songs and open d for Jewel . He is like Sebastian he is an amazing young man.
Thank you so much for opening up your lives and sharing your beautiful story.
Thank you for sharing ,your story IS just about unconditionnal love,so inspiring💜❤️💙💚
When your precious boy smiles its so precious. Light up a room
Nothing wrong with the the content I had 2 babies with health problems so glad yours is now well
Sebastian is too precious, his little face is so cute 😊
Is part 3 up? Can't find it. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. You both are so strong.
Thank you for sharing, God bless you all. He has beautiful eye lashes
Sebastian, your so special❤❤❤
So much for such a tiny kid to go through. I truly believe if they are to live then we support that. All of us are in God's time.
Thank you for sharing your families journey with us. Your amazing parents and he is an amazing child. God bless you all.
The only pictures I have of my daughter whilst still alive look so much like Sebastian that I had to do a double take. Thank you. Is there a part 3?
Thank you for sharing your story your experiences.
I went through the same thing with my son. So much emotional trauma. I look back and think how did I do it!
You guys are true inspiration ❤
He is truly very beautiful and so are you and your family
I hope you both have or will get some counselling. The trauma you have both been through is huge. I admire your strength and that you never gave up on your little boy. The journey your are on is only for the very special people of this world.
I see Stephanie on video a lot more than Gio.
It struck me how emotional and nervous his speech is here.
I watch with captions only and most sentences have at-least two “like,” which is more noticeable with captions.
It’s cute that Sebastian looks very much CdLS, but he looks like his father, too.
I wish I could keep my tears from dripping on my phone❤️
You are correct it is your life. I had my son born with birth defects heart murmur. He was 8 lb 4 oz. 21 in long. They did surgery on his heart. He didn't make it through the 72 hrs after in icu. He passed at 14 days old. 😔 bless you all
I’m positive it’s a hard thing to do but I would love to hear the triumphant outcome of baby Sebastian’s story. My grandbaby was a NICU baby. And I tell you what they work miracles in that ward. I would love to hear how that baby boy fought and won!
Tough days but brave n hope Sébastien is so cute
I've had two heart surgeries. I have DiGeorge. I'm so glad he's doing great!
Sébastien looks so much like his daddy
Yeah Nicu was very strict, and yes it is for safety reasons. For my children I had to have their shot records in order for them to see their baby sister. Our daughter was in a NICU as well, born early because I had a dangerous illness with my pregnancy that could kill her. So I had to have a C-section and she was breech. 😬 Im happy you both share your experience, and be very real on it. Your baby is a handsome. 🙂
How ridiculous & Stupid is the social media world🤦🏼♀️. They put up violence, gross & Disgusting videos,,,,,,,BUT , parents can’t put up a Beautiful story of how their baby was born!!!!!!😳 this world is NUTS!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS ALL 3 of you🥰🥰🥰
So precious
You guys are amazing ❤️
This is life Stephanie. We each have our own birth story. So sad this is “trigger”. We are so sensitive. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I think Stephanie and Gio are very caring to prepare with a trigger warning.
If you’ve lost a baby in NICU, this is very, very hard to watch.
Can't imagine. Its a hard life for all. My sisters disabled, caring needs are for all his life. For some families these kids don't grow up and be independent its a lot of sacrifice for parents whole life. Its a lot my mother is elderly now and struggles now with the needs of my sister. 27 yrs of 8t.
Feel for you both. It takes a lot of your life caring for a permanently special needs child.
God is with all of you God bless you all I love that little boy and I know you do too is so beautiful
