Im 100% a single mother with minimal supports and i had 3 little ones under 5 years old all by myself. They're teenagers now and i look back and i dont remember or know where the strength & patience came from. ❤ love you guys.
You guys are so thoughtful. Your answers are wise. But It's clear this is a very hard time for you; i'm sure it'll get easier in time. Know we love and respect you both!
Loved the content…always love hearing you share your lives. Hated the camera situation. Very quickly in I had to set the iPad aside and just listen. The back and forth was dizzying but also you were talking to each other and we couldn’t see that - how your faces change when you look at each other.
Hi! Idea for Drew to understand how long it is until London (this helped my niece and nephew on count downs until we see each other again): make a paper chain of the days "until". Makes each day fun. Have fun!
Seriously really do feel the vibes are just a 🤏 off, not sure why, nor is it ANY of my business, but in all seriousness i just wanna say yall are truly amazing humans! ❤
Thank you so much for your testament of focusing more on GOD's goodness and greatness rather than concentrating on yourselves. I truly love your faith and your commitment to family. May GOD continue to bless you and your family and your work.
Thank you Shawn for saying spouse. When we fill our spouses needs they are much more open to filling our needs. This in turn flows to our children. Love your podcast!!
Your spouse was there first and they will be there after the kids grow and leave. Its crucial that you maintain a strong happy and healthy bond as a couple so you can provide a safe and loving environment for the kids to grow in. It helps them see what a good relationship is and sets them up to be happier healthier people.
I hear you. I had 4 kids under 4 (4, 2 1/2, and twin newborns). You really learn how important family help is then. Have fun! This craziness doesn’t last long!
Our little one had “colic” so bad. It was so tough. We tried everything. Ties fixed, elimination diet for 8 months for me, CST, chiropractor and we got a little relief, but it remained. Toughest thing I’ve ever done. Still a fussier guy than most, but it took about 10-11 months for it to lift for the most part. Love to you!!
I hope y’all work out whatever is bothering you. It is very noticeable in this podcast. Congratulations on the new baby and many more happy years together!
You guys are truly ministering to the needs of others right now. This is a huge impact full episode. Thank you for being honest and vulnerable. Not only showing that side but offering a leg up with practical suggestions that make a huge difference. We felt this is, and here's how we navigated it. It's not a small thing. Thank you. Thank God❤
SO excited to see that y'all are back!!!! I appreciate your genuine and raw update on where you are at 11 weeks into being a family of 5. I look up to you both so much and it's nice to know that even couples that are incredible parents go through struggles of their own. Thank you for sharing that. God bless you both.
Andrew, the small shift with the kids has been something I have been working on for a long time. The phrase “yes and” is quick and efficient and definitely something I will be put into practice. Appreciate you and your wisdom!
My pediatrician asked the same question except he said how are you? Are you getting any sleep. I said yes I’m fine. He looked at me and said…no you aren’t and no you aren’t getting sleep. I gathered from what he said that I must look like a wreck. My son had colic for over 6 months. It’s a very rough ride…but I promise Shawn it does get better. In time it will seem like only a dream. Hang tight…life will get back to normal. Bear will grow fast and he certainly will grow out of the colic…perhaps even quicker than my son got over it.
Shawn, you have the cutest little face! You lost your pregnancy swelling, you look fabulous! You two are doing a phenomenal job with your 3 babies and your marriage 🥰
So excited for more episodes with just Andrew and Shawn! My husband and I are slowly making our way through them. You have a lot of great things to say about family and marriage. Love the Biblical approach you guys have. Blessings to your family!
I did 5 days in labour with my first baby (he's 12 now) & far out what a marathon!!! I went into labour early hours of monday morning & he was born 2am Saturday morning!!! Also pushed for 2 hours.. Hectic times. You look amazing Shawn!! Hope you're enjoying those bubby snugs. I deeply miss them. Mine are 12, 10 & 7 now!!
Hi Andrew and Shawn, As a December baby please take some advice for Bear when he gets older. Do a 1/2 birthday for him for his school friends. For when he gets into school age all of the school friends are away on winter break. Just invite his school friends. Then have a small family party on his birthday.
Love you 2! Seems Andrew's vibe is a lil low/off though having a newborn is tiring so maybe it's just all a bit much right now but either way just wanna say yall are awesome you're great & whenever times are tough just know it's a moment & moments pass & we all have up/downs & all that matters is you're doing your best! Stay strong Stay You & know you're much loved! ❤
I love that you plan to do some outreach for the single parent! My daughter is 19 now so we made it, but it was so hard in the early days! I didn't always need physical help, but I always needed an emotional support system and that was lacking. I would love to see a retreat for single parents where they can go with their kid(s), and be able to take classes together, but have a break to disconnect from parenting and reconnect internally with onsite child care. A week long hybrid stay that allows time with your child and time without to breathe and learn how to do it all.
My daughter’s 2nd child had severe tongue ties. He cried all the time, had such difficulty nursing and caused a lot of shedding tears. Once all of his ties were addressed he changed into an amazing easy going baby. He’s now 18 months old, very easy going and very snuggly. Shaun still give yourself some time to heal. The inside takes up to 6 months to heal so relax still and lean on your friends and family!!!!
Love you guys ! Very real … 4 kids, husband, couple dogs, big extended family here married 32 years Always prioritize your children when they are children. It’s truly such a short time in the big picture. They only really really need you for a short time. When they are old enough to understand space and time … there might be times when you can change that prioritization. That doesn’t mean don’t intentionally make time to be a couple. Make time for each other as a couple because there isn’t any greater gift to give to your kids other then a loving husband and wife (mom and dad) I promise the consistency, the schedule, the intentional teaching , praying … it works. All ours are adults and really genuinely good humans that wasn’t by accident. You’ve got this
I am a mother of 4 and I had 3 daughters and one son, and I had a tough time with raising my children my girls are grown with their own children now and my son came a bit later he'll be 14 next month and he's such a a great boy. I think you guys are doing amazing with your family and each other we all have some really tough times and it will take a toll on you when you feel like u can't even go on in life.... Then 10 minutes later you calm down and look at your babies face or your partners face and smile it makes you feel so much brighter inside and out and all giddy feeling so it gets better and easier, hang in there. You guys are doing amazing keep it I love to watch y'all's journey together and it's awesome to see how much you guys love each other and actually do enjoy each other ❤ I am only 41 yrs old idk why I thought I had to tell y'all that but yeah lol
I prefer when you film it the original way, but love your content regardless! Thank you for being real and honest! It is clear how much you love each other! It stems out of your love for Jesus!
Read the book: Daughter of a King to Drew. The message is so beautiful and the artwork is stunning. Love your videos and messages! Much love to you both from Canada 🍁
My daughter had colic. We put her on Nutramigen. Colic went away. Found out later she had reflux to her kidneys. She is fine today with a daughter of her own. Tough tough time with the colic and kidney issues.
I'm thankful that it is OK to be vulnerable in the time of your Generation. Sharing experiences with others is a great tool. At the time I raised my family WE, as a Generation, hid our weaknesses & challenges. IT is imperative to be a Warrior, as life is hard & difficult, while also joyful & victorious. IT is also OK to express tough times. There is much to be learned from truth & gain knowledge from shared experiences 👍
The filming I swear I’m dizzy and feel a bit sick to my stomach too much back-and-forth. I feel nauseous from it. I don’t know I felt like I was on a roller coaster but you guys are the bomb Diggity. ❤️
Always prioritize your spouse first, because your kids need to see their parent’s united. When you’re happy, that passes onto them. Good answer to you both!! ❤❤
I’m pretty sure I told you guys it’s like a bomb exploding in your life after the 3rd we had 3 under 5 with the 3rd born Dec 16 it was a magical Christmas my favorite one ever! After that the explosion happened listening to you guys takes me back and makes me laugh our kids are all grown and their 30’s and we have raised 3 great men, you guys are doing great I love how you reach deep to keep your relationship strong marriage has seasons raising kids is not easy one day you’ll look back and wonder where the time went🥰
Loved the close up but it’s difficult when the camera goes back and forth. Maybe sit closer so can have close up together? Anyway love how you love God. Me too!
I'm going to start with Shaun, I know you may not always feel great, like beauty wise, or just as a female, I love seeing you undone. You don't need make-up, you are naturally beautiful, which I get told all the time, and it's always like ah huh thanks. I mean it though. Although you do look great, I always enjoy your hair. I'm a single mom of a 10 year old boy, and it is incredibly hard, but I have made it through because of my family. Also he is an incredible son. He is there for me too, which really make things wonderful. I'm sure you guys have been incredibly stressed, tires, and just adjusting. Obviously I'm not in your daily life but from all the videos I see from you too, I bet you guys are still doing amazing with all the new things. I really enjoyed FamilyMadeLive, I would love to be at the next one. I love that y'all help give back too, and to go back to one of your other videos, I'm ready for a missions trip with my son. Definitely want to know if you all will be opening that up! 😊 Thanks for your honesty, encouragement, and just constant content that I can't wait to watch.
Congratulations on your precious baby! My father also passed away Dec 26, 2022. We miss him so much but he is home with the Lord and he had 96 good years here on this earth.
I don't know if you need to hear this or not but you both are doing a wonderful job! You are both hands on and love your children. God loves you and knows exactly what you need. I wish I had more of what you both had when my children were young. The mama guilt is so real! Let it go. Talk to someone who isn't in the throws of everything. I my self have had a little of everything. From pushing my first child out to pushing out a child that had passed away to having a C-section for twins. One of the twins did not live after 2 weeks. I had lots of questions. What did I do what should I have not done. But God. He guided me through the whole thing. Showed me He decides who is in my family and slowly I started to feel I didn't do anything. God was bringing me into my family. Sorry for the long post. It hurts my heart when young families when they are so worried and scared about certain things. I just want to be that mama bear and tell you it's going to be alright! You're doing everything well! Loved getting to know you both better! Will be praying for peace in your hearts as well! ❤️
Having a colicky baby is one of the hardest things I've ever gone through. I was not planning on breastfeeding my daughter, but she refused bottles so I literally had no choice. She also had a very stubborn tongue tie that had to be revised 3 times, she was super colicky, and had very severe reflux. It is so hard because you just want to take all of their pain away but there's nothing much that you can do other than wait for them to outgrow it. It was so hard on my relationship, at times I thought we wouldn't survive having children. I was reading that your brain processes having a colicky baby the same way that it does going through a trauma - I don't know how accurate that truly is, but it wouldn't surprise me! I honestly thought I'd be one and done because she was such a tough newborn. Here I am, 27 weeks pregnant with #2 while also having a 12 month old already. I am crazy! And stressed. But also very excited
As a 79 year old who was the oldest in 8 years of four……I definitely got lost in the shuffle early. My personality allowed me to be self sufficient, which in turn lended itself for my parents to grow closest to my siblings until the day our parents died. It was me that they trusted to care for their needs, but it was my siblings they craved otherwise to be with……
Maybe it’s because I’m still a single woman and don’t have kids of my own but the lack of concern for Shawn is a little disappointing. Mom is the glue for so many things, I hope that both her family can offer her some time to do something joyful, and that she can also learn to forgive herself for taking the time to do something for her. Thinking of you and hoping you’re well ❤
I had 4 c- sections! The last c-section I had my tubes tied. The medical aspect of more than 2 or more c-sections the risk goes up quite a bit! I'm glad I did that, but it isn't for everyone. So you both wanting more children? I mean by fostering or adopting?
My baby #4 was12/21. Big party Christmas Eve. The day I came home. Baby was passed around like a 6 pack of beer. LOL. Now, 40 years later, things are calm.
I really enjoy your podcast. I’m much older than you and I’m way beyond the childbearing years but I think you guys have very good knowledge and are very good and well spoken in the subject. However, today I noticed there’s something just a little off I can’t put my finger on it.
Love ur podcast. I have some positive thoughts about death of g Family members but im not sure how to put it do its not lengthy. U are doing a great job snyway with ur children. Keep ip the great work.
I have found that with my son (18) , he responds better when I get very quiet and just stare at him . He realizes that I am not happy with something. It took years of learning not to yell and argue with him. I really wish that I would have been able to do that when he was much younger. I feel the impact of that is huge for our current relationship. We have grown to be much better with communicating. I believe that part of his earliest years the yelling was a product of his dad and my relationship with each other because he was a yeller and I feel like I fell into that as well. Ever since our divorce,I am blessed that my relationship with my son is truly completely different now in best ways possible.
I think if you go back and forth, make the transition faster. Not the slow fade to the other person. Similar to how Matt and Abby edit. I do enjoy the individual shots!
I prefer when you shoot in a wider shot so I can see both of you two together interacting.
I don't mind a few close ups but I really like to see them together.
It's a different vibe
Im 100% a single mother with minimal supports and i had 3 little ones under 5 years old all by myself. They're teenagers now and i look back and i dont remember or know where the strength & patience came from. ❤ love you guys.
I like the close ups but like to be able to see y’all sitting together instead of the back and forth shots!
😮
Dying to previous things.... sounds so harsh but it is soooo true once kiddos come along. explained SO well!!!
I had my daughter on the 23rd, brought her home Christmas Day, what a wonderful gift.
You guys are so thoughtful. Your answers are wise. But It's clear this is a very hard time for you; i'm sure it'll get easier in time. Know we love and respect you both!
Loved the content…always love hearing you share your lives. Hated the camera situation. Very quickly in I had to set the iPad aside and just listen. The back and forth was dizzying but also you were talking to each other and we couldn’t see that - how your faces change when you look at each other.
Andrew , you got the whole package with Shaun ! She is smart , talented and beautiful inside and out . Take good care of your baby momma .
Colic is so hard on everyone but especially on momma. Had one that had it for 4 mos!!! Hang in there!
Shawn, you look STUNNING! ❤
Shawn, you look AMAZiNG!! Being a Mom looks good on you. Be blessed!
Hi! Idea for Drew to understand how long it is until London (this helped my niece and nephew on count downs until we see each other again): make a paper chain of the days "until". Makes each day fun. Have fun!

I am in awe of the communication and prioritization of things that you all do. You live with such intention it is inspiring. Thank you
Yes we all have ups and downs with kid babies you just have to count your blessings especially you two because of all you already have
Great podcast! My first child had colic for weeks. It was rough! Praying things continue to get easier!
Close up okay but maybe a split screen so we can see you both at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
I hope y’all work out whatever is bothering you. It is very noticeable in this podcast. Congratulations on the new baby and many more happy years together!

Loved the up close camera view super intimate!
I love that you plan to do some outreach for the single parent! My daughter is 19 now so we made it, but it was so hard in the early days! I didn't always need physical help, but I always needed an emotional support system and that was lacking. I would love to see a retreat for single parents where they can go with their kid(s), and be able to take classes together, but have a break to disconnect from parenting and reconnect internally with onsite child care.

Very real …

Always prioritize your children when they are children. It’s truly such a short time in the big picture. They only really really need you for a short time.
When they are old enough to understand space and time … there might be times when you can change that prioritization.
That doesn’t mean don’t intentionally make time to be a couple.
Make time for each other as a couple because there isn’t any greater gift to give to your kids other then a loving husband and wife (mom and dad)
I promise the consistency, the schedule, the intentional teaching , praying … it works.
All ours are adults and really genuinely good humans that wasn’t by accident.
You’ve got this
This is so good . I am screenshoting for myself
I am a mother of 4 and I had 3 daughters and one son, and I had a tough time with raising my children my girls are grown with their own children now and my son came a bit later he'll be 14 next month and he's such a a great boy.

Good to see you so back! Great video ❤
Baby #4 was 12/16, which took us to having 8,4,1,and a newborn.. years later I still remember the insanity 😂
I had 18,11, and a newborn lol and now 20, 13, 2 and gonna be a newborn. 😅❤ Lord have mercy on me.. 🙏🏻
I prefer when you film it the original way, but love your content regardless! Thank you for being real and honest! It is clear how much you love each other! It stems out of your love for Jesus!
Read the book: Daughter of a King to Drew. The message is so beautiful and the artwork is stunning. Love your videos and messages! Much love to you both from Canada 🍁

LOVE YOU GUYS VERY FORTH COMING. YOU'RE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE 😊 HONEST IF ITS HARD DIFFICULT YOUVSAY SO. BLESS YOUR FAMILY🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Info was good but the camera needs to stop going back an forth especially because they are looking at each other answering!!!
Someone went overboard on the atem mini😂
I liked the screen where we could see both of them. Or maybe a nice mixture of zoomed in and zoomed out.
Cant believe I'm saying this but, your hair looks beautiful today...😊thats all
We have a Lily, Barrett, and Beau 😊. So sweet!
I highly recommend ‘Loving the Little Years’ by Rachel Jankovic for your family and your fans.
Just had our second! IT is sooooo hard! You guys are doing great. It gets easier as you know! Just remember that and accept the chaos.
The filming I swear I’m dizzy and feel a bit sick to my stomach too much back-and-forth. I feel nauseous from it. I don’t know I felt like I was on a roller coaster but you guys are the bomb Diggity. ❤️
Like being able to see you both!
Always prioritize your spouse first, because your kids need to see their parent’s united. When you’re happy, that passes onto them. Good answer to you both!! ❤❤

Bear shares a birthday with my youngest daughter… December babies make things a big crazy lol
I lost my Mother 12/26/03, it never gets easier 😔 I miss her so much every day ❤
Great podcast but the going back and forth was distracting and I would rather see both of you talking to each other.
Yep I'm an angel parent it hits different .
Keep prioritizing God each other then the kids
Shawn you are beautiful!!!

Love the content ❤️ but the back and forth was harder to watch than looking at both of you at the same time.
Maybe it’s because I’m still a single woman and don’t have kids of my own but the lack of concern for Shawn is a little disappointing. Mom is the glue for so many things, I hope that both her family can offer her some time to do something joyful, and that she can also learn to forgive herself for taking the time to do something for her. Thinking of you and hoping you’re well ❤
I had 4 c- sections! The last c-section I had my tubes tied. The medical aspect of more than 2 or more c-sections the risk goes up quite a bit! I'm glad I did that, but it isn't for everyone. So you both wanting more children? I mean by fostering or adopting?
I’m a 12/12 baby and I’ve loved it ☺️❤
Any signs of post partum depression? As a Veteran with CPTSD, we can talk, if you want.
My baby #4 was12/21. Big party Christmas Eve. The day I came home. Baby was passed around like a 6 pack of beer. LOL. Now, 40 years later, things are calm.
Shawn, thanks for being transparent about hormones and a colicky baby.
I like the close up shots but I’d personally prefer a clean cut instead of the fade transition
I GET IT!! IT FEELS LIKE YOURE SEALLOWING A BALL!! IT HURTS..😢 ALL THE TIME
Much prefer the wider camera angle with you both in it!
I really enjoy your podcast. I’m much older than you and I’m way beyond the childbearing years but I think you guys have very good knowledge and are very good and well spoken in the subject. However, today I noticed there’s something just a little off I can’t put my finger on it.
Love ur podcast. I have some positive thoughts about death of g
Family members but im not sure how to put it do its not lengthy. U are doing a great job snyway with ur children. Keep ip the great work.
I have found that with my son (18) , he responds better when I get very quiet and just stare at him . He realizes that I am not happy with something. It took years of learning not to yell and argue with him. I really wish that I would have been able to do that when he was much younger. I feel the impact of that is huge for our current relationship. We have grown to be much better with communicating.
I believe that part of his earliest years the yelling was a product of his dad and my relationship with each other because he was a yeller and I feel like I fell into that as well. Ever since our divorce,I am blessed that my relationship with my son is truly completely different now in best ways possible.
Found the Drawing Tablet or Painting area for a daily opportunity to draw/paint in one spot‼️
I want to see you both on camera at the same time.
My B day is the 11th of December !
I think if you go back and forth, make the transition faster. Not the slow fade to the other person. Similar to how Matt and Abby edit. I do enjoy the individual shots!
lOVE YOU GUYS! Just a little feedback. This format was hard to watch. It made me dizzy. lol
Good video but I hate I those huuuge mics covering up your faces. Can't they be moved back a little? Glad y'all are getting to come up for some air!
No, no, no….going back and forth is not working for me !!!! There was no feeling of togetherness. Cannot continue to watch, sorry.
Where is Nash? I miss seeing him
I like seeing you both at the same time.Maybe just a cluse up here and there.Andrew,you look very sad 😢
I was born the day after Christmas 30 years ago so my mother gets it
Soo hard to watch this video with the nonstop switching. 😢
Close up is good, but the flashing back and forth is too much...
I don't like the fading back and forth. It feels unnatural vs cuts
