    Olivia, PLEASE do not hesitate to let us know how we can support you. What helps most? Watching your YT ads all the way through? Clicking links you share? Saving your instagram posts? Let us know what helps and we will all try to do it! I can't even imagine the cost of having a baby in the NICU for that long, plus your new home.... 🤍🤍🤍🤍

    Olivia, it’s okay to not share what you don’t want to share. It’s okay to take a break and go silent without explanation. Your family needs the best you, but most importantly, YOU need the best you. Sending love and prayers 💕💕🙏🏾

    I don’t even know how to word what I want to say, nicu mom here (we did 6 weeks with one twin 8 weeks with the other) and the way you have carried yourself, balanced yourself, fought for your girl, I mean I have had the utmost respect for you and your husband this whole time. It’s not easy to watch this because I know your pain because I have felt my own and I just want to hug you, tell you your incredible and your family is so lucky to have you as their rock!

    Girl I was crying 5 seconds in. This journey is so close to home for us. My 34 weeker had so much harder of a time than doctors thought she would. Congratulations times a million for bringing that girl home!!! Closing the nicu chapter is a breath of fresh air. Time for a much better kind of chaos 🎉❤😂

    My heart goes out to you and your family! You don’t owe anyone an explanation. This is your life and you do what’s best for you and your family! As a mom I can’t only imagine, I’m in tears and praying for your family! God is with you and your baby girl, she’s such a fighter 💪💗

    Cried almost the whole video 😭 as a 2x NICU mom to a 33 weeker & 28 weeker, I could just FEEL the relief of her being home now. You said things so beautifully explaining the roller coaster that is the NICU. So so happy that y’all have your family all together 🩷

    Congratulations on bringing your baby girl home! Just know that you sharing about your beautiful medically complex baby girl made me smile and cry and I’m glad you shared your story about Soleil. Your strength throughout this difficult time shined through this video. I’m a 2x NICU mama from Central California and my almost 3 year old son is medically complex and was life flighted to Ohio where we actually lived in the children’s hospital for 374 days until we were able to bring him back home last year. He has a G-Tube too. Don’t stop sharing about your journey. There are a lot of medical mamas who can stand with you and give you support. 😊

    As a NICU mom myself I cried this whole video. I only stayed 12 days in the nicu with my baby girl (who is now 3 ) so I cant even imagine what you went through. I remember the day we got to leave thinking its my turn! Watching your video makes my heart explode seeing you guys get your turn to go home! I am so happy you have your baby home! This is just the beginning. Your baby is so lucky to have you guys.

    My first baby was a NICU baby. This video brought it all back. The way it felt to be discharged without my baby. Coming back everyday for rounding and having to leave her again. The feeling of finally bringing her home 😢
    My heart is with your family.

    Let us know how we can support you! I had a 26 weeker in December and spent 90 days in the nicu! That last day was SOOOO Nerve wrecking!! Never knowing if you’ll actually get to go home! That breath of fresh air when you get in the car to take your baby home! I can’t believe he’s been home for almost 5 months at this point! It’s such a blessing! 💖💖💖

  • @jordanlusk-hunt7917
    @jordanlusk-hunt7917 ปีที่แล้ว

    I never understand people who say things like that. TH-cam is wonderful and we love hearing stories and seeing a piece of your life, BUT it's your life! You are so strong. NICU moms are the toughest people. Sending your family prayers and love. So thankful you were able to bring your baby home. God knew you could go through this journey.

  • @meaganrohler3636
    @meaganrohler3636 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You’re so strong, and your baby girl gets that from you!🩷 Take what you need. Time, social breaks, counseling, rest, anything you can to help yourself and your family positively. There is no one way to experience trauma and the hard and beautiful things in life. 83 days feels like a lifetime, but now your lifetime together is about to begin.🤗 You’re in my thoughts and prayers!

  • @daniellegreene6674
    @daniellegreene6674 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow this really touched me. Our baby was in the NICU for 3 months as well. When you said that we don’t give enough credit to how strong and resilient kids are I felt that so much. Its so true!! When I slow down and think about how much she has gone through it makes me cry. One of the nurses who took care of her is now a part of our family too, and Im so grateful for that.
    You and your family are so strong and I admire you all so much ❤Thank you for sharing this part of your lives with the world. I understand its not always easy to do so.

    Olivia. I couldn’t watch this without weeping for you and your family. You have had such a difficult season and I am praying for you and your family. You are such a strong mama and soleil is such a strong little girl! Praying for god’s ease over you and your family and for your heart to be at rest.

    Crying with you, Olivia! Happy tears that Soleil is home and has made it through!! Crying because of all of the hardships you have had to go through. I'm sure there has been rough, rough days , but man, you have handled it with such grace. To think you had to go through the mess of postpartum hormones, healing from a C Section, being a mama of 4, handling home, kids, dinners, LIFE is remarkable. All the mamas here will support you and your family in whatever we can do ❤ ❤ ❤

    I’m sorry you’ve had people who haven’t been understanding because of their own selfish desires and in this case that’s watching and anticipating each and every single one of your videos. I’m so glad your baby girl is home in her mamas arms and I just pray she remains a fighter. Sending you so many hugs and well wishes as you adjust to being a twin mama and having the girls together. May you be blessed ❤

    Literally crying as you were opening up and sharing how your baby almost left us and my heart breaks for you guys for everything you had to go through but WOW, her and you, and Jordan are so damn strong and are such fighters! I wish I could say just ignore the idiots because the people who have been following you and genuinely love you and your content are always happy to see anything you share with us because through this horrible ordeal you were still here and that says a lot and we appreciate you so much more!

    @alyssatonking9985 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am in tears watching this. I can’t imagine what your journey has been like. I’ve never had a baby in the NICU, but I do know what’s it like to leave the hospital without your child (my first was a full term stillborn). I couldn’t imagine doing it over and over and not knowing what the outcome would be. You are entitled to your grief and your process. Don’t let strangers on social media make you feel like you need to explain or justify your absence. Your family comes first ALWAYS, and some things are better kept private. Praying for your heart, mama, and your sweet Soleil.

    You guys are amazing parents. I wish you guys the best. I am a special needs mom myself and I totally get you, we didn't sign up to be special needs parents, God volunteered us and let me tell you its the hardest but most rewarding thing you'll ever experience it really is. The love you feel for them gives you all the strength you need to keep moving forward. One thing I do advice you is to take care of your mental health, my doctor told me, "your son will have special needs for the rest of his life and you will take care of him for the rest of your life, so take care of your mental health, so that you are strong mentally for this." I advice the same thing.

    I’ve been a follower for years, and I’ve had two pregnancies in nearly identical timelines as yours with Arlo and the girlies. I remember your post back before you delivered Arlo and so much was unknown about what the delivery experience would be with Covid..I felt so scared but felt so acknowledged when you shared your fears. This video had me in tears and I just can’t find the words to communicate the amount of support I’d like to share with you and your family. You are so strong. Your family is so strong. I can’t wait to follow along for the rest of your journey!

    Bless your family. You are both amazing. My son was in the nicu for only 4 days … though with a life time of complications… but just those 4 days has given me PTSD that I still can’t kick. I can’t even begin to imagine 80+ with 3 children at home. I’m happy to see your family together under one roof!

You are so strong and she is a MF WARRIOR!! Remember to always be kind to yourself. You are allowed to feel whatever enters your heart and brain. Some days you may feel sad, guilt, anger, frustration, allow yourself to feel those. Bless you and your beautiful family

    Hey girl, I bumped into you when my toddler was at the hospital and introduced myself. I'm so happy to hear baby girl is home. Our whole experience was so traumatizing too but feel the same as you, since my little boy is home nothing else matters. I can't believe people would expect more from you or say anything negative and I dont want to give any more energy to those things but know you sharing gave me some healing for my experiences too in the hospital with my little guy. All this stuff we go through with the kiddos is just the deepest stuff ever and being vulnerable about it allows us to feel like we're not alone and I thank you. All my love to all 6 of you! And a big kissy to Soleil!

  • @maribottinelli9814

    The fact that a anyone feels entitled to shame a mother for wanting to spend time with her family and deal with an extremely hard situation in private is crazy to me, im so glad the baby and your family is ok and that you have her home and I hope you know some of us who follow this story would never ask for explanations or demand you to share anything you don't feel comfortable with, honestly is great to see the baby home and that is the most important stuff. Hope you all the best and thank you for choosing to let us in to your life, all the love.

  • @mmercer93
    @mmercer93 ปีที่แล้ว

    You have dealt with this devastating experience with so much grace and dignity. I admire how you have protected your family and especially your daughter. The internet does not need to know the details of her medical condition. Just because you are a content creator does not mean the people on the internet are entitled to the innermost details of your life or your family’s life. I am a NICU mom. Both of my babies (not twins) were born at 32 weeks. They are now 9 and 5. It is still the hardest thing I have ever experienced. Sending you so much love and support.

    Sending you so much love, forget all the negative comments. I'm a mother of a daughter born premature and has cerebral palsy and was in the NICU for awhile, take a deep breath, God will be with you. It will get easier, my daughter is now 32 years old and had so many obstacles and surgeries, she now just had a child of her own and she is an amazing woman. Just love every moment and stay positive and it's ok to cry and decompress. Just know there are many of us that have been through it and you have such support. Love to your family, a beautiful family you have.

    Don’t ever hesitate to share things because of others “triggers.” You’re the one living it and shouldn’t have to tip toe around your reality because of others choosing to watch your videos. You also shouldn’t have to feel like you have to shield Soleil because it’s not your “typical” birth/life story. Everything can be so polished on social media and obviously it’s not always like that in real life. We welcome Soleil with open arms!💕

    I’m so glad you are giving those who have a special needs child or NiCU babies a voice. Both of my boys (now 3 & 5) were taken from me to a higher level NiCU hospital because of a stroke/cleft palate or premature.
    I really feel for you…the ptsd is real and so is the grief. I’m glad you mentioned that because it is like a death of a child you thought you would have.
    It’s so hard with my special needs son (he’s non verbal autistic) but inspires me daily and I give long hugs to both of them all the time.
    Therapy is still a must but it gets a bit easier. Comes in waves and I understand the isolation. Some of my friends I lost because they couldn’t relate to my ongoing depression for a long time. I’m glad you are talking about it.
    ❤❤❤ Your journey will help others going through it too, especially those in the thick of it. That’s been my mission too, to try to help those locally going through a similar situation. Our hardships will eventually become or testimony.

    God bless you all. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for what you are dealing with. I’ve been in your shoes and you and your family come first. Take care of yourself and your family. The rest will fall in to place.❤

    I can understand what you're going through my nephew. His wife, her baby was in the Nick. You and it was a lot for her and I would talk to her. And it wasn't easy so I understand what you have dealt with. I am glad the baby is home with you.❤🎉

    I haven’t been staying up to date but I’m going to back and replay all those sponsorships. You did everything you had to do. I’m sorry people gave you grief over that. Ugh this whole video just tore my heart up. Praying for you all

    Balling. 😭💖 Soleil is genuinely stronger than so many of us could ever be. I'm so happy for you all. I just want to say that Christian is so sweet, it's so wild to watch him grow up on here. I've been here since you were pregnant with him and he's just grown into the sweetest little boy and it makes my boy mama heart burst. Thank you for sharing your life with us, you owe the internet nothing and you've been through so much in your life are so strong to share all of that on here. Sending so much love 💖

    Am so happy that you can get your baby home. Praying for you and your family. I truly don't understand how people can complain about how other people live😢. It's so mind blowing. I mean if you dont like her content don't watch,its so simple. Bringing other people down is never good

    My goodness, Olivia. Please don’t feel like you even have to explain why you haven’t been as active on social media. At the end of the day, this is your life and your family’s life not all of your subscribers. I will be praying for you and your family, especially, for Soleil. May she continue to fight through any obstacle. She is truly such a warrior. Sending you and your family a big hug. I’m so happy for you all to have your family together at home. 🤗

    You and your family are soooo strong. Medically complex children are so beautiful and strong. I joined a Facebook group for families with trach children to help me get through times with my own medically complex son. He was also trach and g-tube. Knowing there are other families in the same situation really helps. Sending you lots of love and prayers.

    🥹 both of my boys were NICU babies for a short amount of time. It will always make you cry, at least for me it still does. Caring and loving your kiddos makes you a good mama. The relief of graduation day is very emotional, ups and downs. You've got this, you guys are doing an amazing job. And such beautiful children ❤
