I also make simple living, minimalism, and slow living videos as well!
You just shine/ carry yourself differently and it’s so beautiful to see you transition into motherhood. Thank you for sharing Connor’s beautiful birth story ❤❤
oh thank you 🥺🤍
Cash is an absolute angel to have never left your side. He mustve been so anxious when you left for the hospital, and so relieved and happy when you came home, and with Connor, Ohmigoodness. Such a good boy!
I think about that too 😭 my sister grabbed him right after we left, thankfully he loves being with her kiddos!
I'm 37 weeks and have been hesitant to watch birth vlogs, but this was so inspiring and has motivated me to continue with my plan for an unmedicated birth! Thank you for sharing your story and putting out such positive content
I hope you have a safe delivery ❤
How did it go?
Immediately clicked. Thank you so much for sharing this with us ❤
of course, such a special story to tell 💌 appreciate you!
Congratulations on your beautiful baby! Thank you for sharing him with us. So happy for you!
Thank you for sharing with us! I would love to see the vlog from November!! You are glowing, mama!
I second this! Would love to hear your thoughts in the days before 😊
You are so incredibly inspiring! So rare to hear unmedicated birth stories, but the peace and confidence in God in your story is amazing. And your son is precious! Hope you all continue to do well! ♥️
My son is 2, but this brings me back! The feeling of meeting your baby for the first time and them lying on your chest is so surreal and amazing. One of the happiest moments 💕 I’m so glad to hear your birth experience went smoothly! You have so many amazing memories ahead of you! ❤
Wasn’t expecting this video so soon after your last one. Love your editing style, it’s so relaxing and calming. It’s honestly so nice to hear an unmedicated birth as many videos I watch they get an epidural ❤
thank you so much ❤ really believe all births are special in their own way! grateful for our story, a joy to share 💌
So happy you’re back! Two videos in one week you’re killing it mama! We would love to see that vlog from November btw 🩷
I have seen a lot of Birth Vlogs, but your's is the most genuine and sweet, congrats on baby Connor ❤
So happy for you! Babies are a GIFT and this whole process is a MIRACLE!
SO BEAUTIFUL! Teared up multiple times 🥹 Seeing God through your birth experience all makes it extra beautiful!!
Very special to hear your story! I am a first time mum too, my due date was the 10th of November! Soo very special to see this.
We had to be a bit more patient until the 22th of November before we could meet our Son!
And dear god what is mothership a rollercoaster. Love, overwelmed, feeling in charge, feeling definitely NOT in charge, crying, laughing; everything I experience in a average morning ☀️
We rock mums!
Not me bawling at the exclamation of “my baby!” 🥲 your family is so so loved! ❤
It’s so amazing to have you back! We missed you 💗 So glad you and Connor are doing well ✨
thank you so much Lauren 💗
Thank you for sharing Connor's birth story. Your videos are always so calming, and I'm so glad your back and that everything went well for you.
The drive was the worst! That’s when I felt the most contraction/cramping and of course with each one I was leaking. Thank you for sharing this!! ❤❤ Connor is precious!
OMGGGGGGG you’re back ❤❤❤❤❤ so happy you took the time you needed to enter this new chapter in your life. I truly missed your videos! So comforting. My favorite creator to just feel peace and happiness!
Thank you for sharing you and Connor’s beautiful story! Motherhood just fits you so well ❤
So happy for y’all! 🥰❤️ so glad you’re back and took that time you needed!
I am 20 weeks pregnant today and let me just say that this video was so encouraging to me!! I am planning on having a hospital birth, but not many people in my life have had a positive birth experience in a hospital. So I was getting kind of nervous about it. But just hearing how you were able to feel safe and comfortable in the hospital and have an unmedicated positive birth experience gives me hope! Thank you so much for sharing and I'm glad that you and Connor are doing well!! 🥰
Congratulations on your beautiful son, Michelle and Aidan! ❤ and thank you for sharing 😊
this was such a beautiful video, I was tearing up with the snippets of your first moments with Connor. Thank you for being honest and real about your experience. I knew God would bless you with good health. Congratulations to you Aidan, Cash and Connor ❤❤
You’re a rockstar!!! What a beautiful bit to story, too. You talking about that moment when they placed him on your chest and staring at him all night bereft me back to my babies’ births almost 11 and 8.5 yrs ago. Such amazing memories to cherish for a lifetime. ❤
My baby turned 1 in January and this brings me back to when I had him! I miss him being so tiny but every stage is so fun and different. Your son is absolutely precious! You are strong and you got this! Sending you so much encouragement and warm wishes. ❤
Such a beautiful story, I’m so glad to hear overall you had a good experience💛 Thank you for sharing this with us. It is so sweet to see you and Connor together💕
I would totally watch a vlog from November😅
Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️ You have been so missed, and it’s so good to see you back and glowing more than ever! 💕

Jervis Campbell’s Eden has helped me through a hard season before. It’s a special song and I loved hearing someone else feel encouraged by it. Congratulations! 🤍🤍

Michelle, it is so great to have you back! Congratulations on you and Aidan’s beautiful baby boy! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and intimate birth story with us. I can’t wait to see how you grow and transform into motherhood! 🌸💕
What a special time...trust me you'll never forget. My baby of four is now 20 and hearing you, it all comes rushing back. God is great! Bless you 3❤ 4 with Cash..what a sweet boy watching over you❤
Incredible job Michelle!! ❤❤ and congratulations to you and your sweet family
Beautiful story. So cute about Cash there with you. So glad your hubby & everyone gave you such support. Congrats! ❤
Connor is so precious. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Blessings!
this is so special Michelle ❤ God is so good and so faithful! you're such a cherished treasure 💌
I just started watching your videos during your pregnancy… and it was so beautiful to hear how you welcomed Connor into the world! Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Loved this Michelle! Thank you for sharing such an intimate moment with us. 🤍
I'm 22 weeks with our boy and this made me excited to give birth! thank you for being so raw about your experience! It's so refreshing to hear a positive birth story.💛
Never clicked on a video so fast! So happy for you & your healthy baby boy, thank you for sharing this with us. You’re doing amazing! ❤️
Oh, Michelle! This is just the sweetest. Congratulations! Connor's birth reminds me of my first. Water breaking and spending a long time pushing. Way to go, mama! I had my second on the 16th of November so it was fun to be pregnant following along side (video wise lol) you. I hope you are doing so well and enjoying every second. I remember how sacred and special those days were with just one. Cherish every minute, but also know that it's okay to be sad and frustrated still sometimes. And to sometimes grieve your life and the ease of things before baby. Those are totally normal things that I wish someone had told me. The dishes will get clean, the laundry will get done. Don't stress over them now. Hold your sweet boy and enjoy it all! Congratulations again! And thank you for sharing this beautiful experience and transition into motherhood with us!
Thank you so much for sharing with us! What an encouraging story - I’m so impressed you weren’t medicated! And so thankful you didn’t tear, I prayed specifically for that because I’ve heard it can be so terrible. Praise God for your sweet baby boy! ☺️
Amazing story! So happy to hear you had a great experience and of course Connor makes it all worth it!
Such a joy to see you back here ❤ Thank you for sharing such a precious journey with us. So much light to you and your beautiful family ✨
Congratulations Michelle! Thank you for sharing this precious journey with us ❤
