Having a 4 month old right now.. needed this video so badly! You keep me sane right now, I swear. Sleep regression, clinging like crazy, mood swings, hurting back and arms… no time for yoga, showers, errands… yet everything’s still so precious and exciting ❤️
same here
Wow me too
Omg same here right now. It’s so nice to hear I’m not alone in this.
I love how you talk to sage and explain everything to her even though she can’t really respond or fully understand. I feel like it just sets a great precedent for communication and the relationship in the future!!! You’re doing a great job I hope you’re so proud of yourself 💖
I have a 4 month old and I really needed to see this because my baby is NOT normal. He’s suffering with GERD and is also teething so I am a complete mess.
I’m happy you were able to enjoy this stage a bit more than I am able to
WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE TWO BACK TO BACK VIDEOS FROM YOU; SO SOON?! Idk, but I’m here for it!😅❤️‼️
She’s one of those babies that is just a perfect combo of her parents!! Can’t tell who she looks more like! 😊
Aww 🥰
I totally relate with you when you said “They sense when you are trying to get something done” 😁 because even I have a 4month old baby girl and she loves to be entertained all day.
Thank you for always keeping it so real! I have a 4 month old too and I swear you’re the only one I’ve watched who is honestly about life with a 4 year old. Our daughters are so much alike. So fun going through this journey with you!💗
That makes me so happy to hear ❤️❤️
I agree!! Nikole and Matt have been so honest and real even throughout the pregnancy and beyond, makes it so relatable. 👍
And it's so refreshing and this is from a mommy of 5. Being a mom is a full time job no matter if you have 1 child or 10 children!
@@hersevenpillars : Agree👍
Thank you for being real. I also wanted to tell you that you’re doing a great/awesome job with mom life!!
My 5 month old loves to watch Sage in your videos. Helps keep her entertained while I am working in the kitchen. We both enjoy your videos
Totally with you girl.. I am with 2 month old girl and almost 3 year old boy all day and alone when my husband's gone to work.. it's a lot of juggling. I used to try to do everything around the house and keep up all day but then I realized that I get burnt out and exhausted after running around without any break. So now, I'm trying to go easier on myself and try to enjoy the time with the kids and get some shut eye or yoga stretch when kids are napping to re-energize myself. Housework can wait till later.. Self care is definitely a huge priority especially as a mom because we need the energy to take care our little ones! Love these type of vlogs :)
I’m amazed at how you do all this! Thanks for the real look into motherhood during this day and age.
I’m learning about Lifespan Development right now and I am loving watching Sage’s progression & pointing out her milestones! 👶🏼 🎀
I can't get enough of cutie patootie Sage. She's growing so quickly. Just love your videos. You're so relatable Nikole and so honest and transparent. You tell it like it is.
My son is 3.5 months and girl going through all the same stuff. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s exhausting but I can’t imagine my life any different without him now.
The shot of you holding Saje, drinking your smoothie and Cashew - that’s real life with a NB during a pandemic!
Haha
Huhu
Ok 👌
1+1
Ooooo
I’m here for ALL YOUR VIDEOS👏🏾❤️ Love what life IS REALLY LIKE vids because you don’t cover up the ‘real’ moments parents face with just the calm moments ❤️👏🏾😅
Thank you!
This video is so relatable i too have a 5 month old daughter .. at first i too used to think about house chores all the time like cooking laundry and cleaning and i was over stressing myself cuz i couldn't do all the chores so i realized its exhausting for me so i planned stuff which was more important and get that done while she's asleep and leave the rest cuz giving my daughter all my attention and giving myself some rest n peace was imp too ..
I love how you share the reality that babies cry. You’re a great mom!
Thank you for this! I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. So lost how to balance life as a wife and new mother. Everybody's telling me I should be doing this or that but not showing me how it's done. I had no clue! And now that my babe is in sleep regression and won't let me put her down for naps (sleeps on me), it's even harder. Thankful she sleeps well at night at least.
I have been watching your videos since I got pregnant and now my son is 2month old. Taking care of myself is the last thing I do but after watching your video, it made me realized how important it is to take care of myself for my mental health. My son is supper clingy and need all of my attention all the time but I will try to meditate while he is napping. Thank you so much!
I needed to hear that ❤️ self care is more important then a clean house
Dear Nikole, thank you so much for sharing your motherhood journey with the rest of us. My first is currently 3 months old and my husband got Covid with pretty bad symptoms last week, so I was on my own with our son for 5 days in a row and felt so miserable and exhausted that I didn’t even remember what to do throughout the day. Like what activities and since I had a cold too, I really just let myself go. Thank you for keeping it real and setting such a great example of parenting with Matt. I watched a bunch of your videos the other day and pulled myself together. Made myself a nice smoothie, ordered fresh groceries for salads and healthy meals. Enjoyed really good quality time with my baby and reminded myself that everything is well. I also took some time to do some forearm and wrist stretches after watching you do yoga since I got nasty mommy thumbs on both hands and have been putting off taking care of myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You really helped me pull through these past few days and reminded me that a wholesome approach to life is the way to go. It’s not just survival anymore. Even prior to this your videos always inspired and motivated me. So a huge thank you again.
Ah I just got all the feels u took me back to how it was with my daughter 😭💗 just trying to take care of yourself and baby as a new Mom is soooooo hard! Now I have 2 under 2 and that’s a wild ride lol my son is 5 months thank u for motivating me to move my body more bc wow I need it! Love watching u and Sage ❤️💗
Nikole, I absolutely love these videos. The day in a life videos and routine videos are my fave. Sage is so cute!! You're such a good mommy!
This is what we all were waiting since you announced that you were expecting. 4 months old cutie pie 🥰 Sage is super cute !!
You’re so sweet! So happy you’re enjoying the mommy vlogs ☺️
I've been watching you for a few years now. As a dog mom and a ftm to a 4 month old baby, it's nice to see how similar our days are and it's not just me who struggles with baby and multitasking #momlife
Love how relatable your vlogs are!! My go to watch when feeding my 3 month old 🥰
4 months was when each of my babies went from waking 2-3 times per night to waking every hour-it lasted a few weeks- I vividly remenber that sleep regression years later.😱
As a mom of 2, now the baby is 4 months I can say enjoy this easy times 😊
My oldest is 7 and the newborn - baby stage was by far the hardest stage so far. When you don't sleep and your baby cries a lot...it can make you feel broken. I could handle tantrums and everything else as long as I didn't wake up every 1-2 hours anymore and did not have to deal with incessant crying.
Glad to know there’s light at the end of the tunnel or should I say sleep lol
My 4 month old is soooo clingy. I decided to go work and a daycare and have her start with me (in a different classroom) just us I’m super broke and stressed at home. I’m also sleep deprived. I love being with her and I’m so scared because they don’t give babies one-on-one attention like I do at home. Mom guilt is happening !! 😭😩 Watching this video was so relatable.
Please also do make a video on how you improved sage's sleeping time and all other measures taken to deal with her sleep regressions.
I love your videos. You have the most realistic “day in the life taking care of baby” videos ’ve seen on UA-cam. Your experiences reflect what I am going through with my 11 week old right now and I feel a sense of solidarity when I watch your videos. I get tips from you too , like putting baby in the bouncer while I shower. Can you do a video where you talk about or show how you work full time with a baby? I’m heading back to work and I’m nervous.
I'm watching this now with a 3 month old miraculously napping by himself atm (he usually needs to be held to stay asleep). It's so comforting to see you showing just a normal day in your life with Sage when you're by yourself at home and that it's not always perfect. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in this and there are many mamas out there who are all just trying to do our best to take care of our little ones. Thank you for showing us snippets of your life 😊
Did you do anything different? My baby only naps on my lap and I am desperately trying to put him to nap on his crib (but he refuses).
I really appreciate you taking the time to film these kinds of videos. I'm 5 months pregnant and since watching your pregnancy journey it's really helped me feel more calm and confident. I especially like the fact that you keep things real and share your experience with us. So many of my friends who were pregnant never really shared any valuable information and just keep saying how great everything was. My pregnancy hasn't been easy and very enjoyable but I'm thankful for all the Tipps and tricks that I can learn and I'm making the best of it. I can't wait to meet my little girl 💕. Keep up the great content, its wonderful 😊.
I just love how real you’re keeping it! Great video!
i just want to say that i literally watched your whole video with my 2 month old on my bed. she was so concentrated and loved watching sage :-)
i loveee your channel!! your thumbnails are adorable!
If you and Matt are comfortable, could you do a video about stories when you were dating?
Hey Nicole, love your videos! It'd be great if you could recommend some meditation videos you use. You look so peaceful when you meditate! Thanks 😊
I like ur sentence about sage being your priority !!! Very well done !!! I was so hard on myself with my first kid and wanted t make sure everything was perfect and organized but trust me if you re rested and take care of yourself first this will impact positively and all the rest of your memenbers !!! It’s the best time investment ever !! You will c !! Things would get harder once they grow , but u will appreciate every second of it !!! Good luck Nicole !! Kisses from Montréal
Also, I think it’s really great you’re reading to her! I’ve read that at 4 months babies that are read to can start developing the foundation for language and may, over time remember the words you read to them.
My daughters love watching your videos with me now because of Sage💚. When you were saying how she is safe on the counter while you make your coffee , my 6yr old was like " yea yea that's ok, that's what you did mommy " with my now 2yr old. The shower too ! Lmfao parents understand trust me ! I had to sing through my quick showers so my babies didnt freak out lmfao . YOU ARE DOING GREAT !!!!!💚💚💚💚💚💚
It's crazy...I watched this before I gave birth and am watching now when my baby is 4-months old....My impression before was "oh that doesn't seem bad" lol. Now, I just feel your struggle throughout the whole video and kept thinking "damn she must be so tired"! I mean dont get me wrong, you're killing it! But like..it is absolutely a struggle and I have so much more respect for moms!
Loved this video, the chair was so funny when you said the disclaimer, meanwhile me with the same chair, I am so doing this so I can finally wash the dishes lol
I struggle with his naps too, I’m in between napping with him, finally eating or cleaning the house. What I’ve been doing lately is napping or eating and taking my vitamins. In the beginning the house was near spotless and dinner was done before my husband came home and I want to go back to that but I got so exhausted and I almost never ate enough. With breastfeeding not eating is really bad. My husband told me, if he’s sleeping you are sleeping or eating.
Also,
My baby got overtired today. The cat sneezed.
Chaos ensued lol 😂
Sage is really an adorable child ❤️❤️❤️
Your baby is so cute
Is it safe for your baby to sit at just 4 months? My doctor says babies can sit at six months of age, not earlier, it's not safe for their spinal cord.
She's so cute and so alert
At 31:00, I love your introspection regarding being a Mommy. You love it, it's wonderful and you've got to talk about it! :) Makes me happy to hear those things!
When you said folding laundry wasn't your favorite I looked up and glared at the two baskets in front of me. 🙃 Love your videos!
Sage is just so adorable 😊 I love her bright eyes and smile!
Currently a mom to a newborn baby girl. This is so helpful.
How did you train Sage to sleep on her own?
Please make a video regarding body Image during pregnancy and post-partum!
You seem so confident and happy and it's very inspiring!!!!
Mine are 4 and 7 and so far I always have lilked each new age the best. 😍
You're amazing doing so many things well. Also very inspiring and creative. Love watching your videos so much!!! 🥰❣️❣️❣️
Question! I saw that you’re very into the non toxic lifestyle do you also cloth diaper? If you do I’d love to hear your routine and how it works best for you! If you don’t, then no worries!
I have a 4 month old baby. Thanks for keeping it real!!!
It’s so good she falls asleep on her own and takes such long naps such as two hours!! I don’t know why you just don’t do your yoga stretches etc in that window instead of when she’s awake especially when whe obviously wants attention! (Btw I know this video is old but I have a nearly 4 month old and it’s not even close to that :D)
This is so relatable! Especially when your showering 🤣 I love it!
Sagey is just absolutely BEAUTIFUL ☺️🥰❤️
Sage so pretty ..I really enjoy your videos with sage
So so cute vlog. You are so real mama. Thank you. Im so in love with you ❤️ I have some mental issues since my son was born (2 1/2 y ago) so my daylife philosophy is verry simmilar to yours. Take care of yourself mumy. You are perfectly imperfect (in the best way)
Hi Nicole I love you so much you have tough me to be healthier in one of your videos you were talking about living in Toronto I actually live a couple of minutes away from you hahaha I love u 😍
the way she was staring at me at 5:17
Aww baby Sage is so adorable 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for sharing 😉
Jajajaajajaj i love your sincerity and humor!! You’re doing great mama!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 mu daughter is 2 years old and i think this stage is my prefer, but i’m pregnant again and can’t wait to hold a litlle baby on my arms again.. I don't miss sleepless nights so much 😰 anyways!! Sage is adorable!! ❤️🥰
Congrats!!!
My baby girl is 6 months old and at this moment, I REALLY cannot imagine how you mamas handle pregnancy with a young child and after baby is born. RESPECT! Congratulations nevertheless 😊
It’s so nice seeing this! My 4 month old is in the clingy stage and can’t wait for it to end 🙄😆
I laughed when you were excited it was 15 degrees then I realized you are probably referring to Celsius lol
Thanks for keeping it real!!!!! Happy weekend from Colorado!!! :)
Great vlog! What is the smoothie product you used? Do you know if it’s available in the USA or just Canada?
You are a really good Mommy!💕
Love your content !!! I watch you and Jessica Braun , and Sarah religiously ! Also can you mention what water jug you use for your oil diffuser to fill the water ? Thanks so much!!
Aww she loves those kisses! Sooo cute! Shes so alert and aware of things too❤️
I love watching your videos..! Lodssss of love to both of you ❤😊
Lol on the Yoga shot. thank you for sharing all.
Hi I think the mention of the baby carrier is missing : )
I love going back to your videos that are my baby’s current age! Love to see a mom going through the same things as me and the similarities and differences between our babies 🥰
haha I do head and shoulders song and my 6 month old LOVES it 😊😍
Nikole: it’s gonna be like 15 degrees outside! We are definitely going for a walk!
Me being from California and being freezing cold when it’s 60 degrees outside: 👁👄👁
I’m sure she meant 15 degrees Celsius
She's Canadian so its in Celsius not Fahrenheit. I think 15 degrees in Celsius as about 45 degrees in Fahrenheit
I'd like to start getting into meditation what do you use? Laying down with the headphones and computer sounds like a great way for me to get started. Let me know. Thank you.
"the struggle, the struggle" 😂😂 I feel you
I'm having postpartum
I don’t remember which video I saw it in but thank you for recommending cucumber in smoothies. It’s great 👍
That baby very cute
Sage is so cute and please when u get some time ,please do a video on black bean rice
I don’t actually know this recipe
@@HealthNutNutrition okay np..have seen this n youtube videos..but ur style suits me a lot.so thought of asking you..
Hi there! Sage is so cute. You may want to look into hip positioning in baby carriers, it looks like Sage may need a wider base to better support her thighs and hips. The international hip Dysplasia Institute has some good info online about positioning. I only noticed because it’s something I’ve been mindful of with my baby!
Hey i love the necklace.. where is it from???
Soooo cute ❤
Where did you get the pink baby chair from? From how many months can babies sit in that?
Nothing wakes a Mum up faster than a 💩 diaper!! There is something about it that ignites the senses😷. The headband is super cute on you. Thankyou for sharing all Sages little milestones, those bubby situps will build abs on her. Have a great weekend. 👍
I love your spring cleaning videos I’m so keen 😍
I wonder how you have so many things bouncer 2 swings etc and yet keep your place neat
I have no bouncer and no swing and my place is messy 😆😅😅
Hi Nikole ! Thanks for your videos, love you! What meditation tracks do you listen to ?
I know I’m a year late but I have a 4 month old now lol. I’m crying at the part about washing her 3-6 months clothes cause I thought you were going to say they no longer fit her 😭 (my 4 month old is wearing 6 months already! 😅 sometimes even 12 months!!!) makes me so sad cause she had so many cute clothes she never got to wear 😢
Is it just me or realistically I never dress up my baby unless I go out?😂
The showering is so real 😂😂
Ugh this video brings back flashbacks to when my first was this age 😩 It’s so tough! Now with my second he will play with his hands and a spot on the toy matt for ages while I tend to my first who still demands constant attention 😂 #firstbornproblems
I’m a kid but love your vlogs❤️
What baby carrier do you use?
