  • Visit www.squarespace.com/flyingthenest - It's about time our Toddler meet our little newborn baby for the very first time and just say things got a little bit emotional at the first meeting of her baby brother.
    This week was a bit of a tough one as straight after the birth of our second baby, I unfortunately had to stay in hospital for a whole week further delaying new mum Jess heading home to see her firstborn Hunter.

    Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.

    ❤ This episode brought tears to my eyes. As a nana to 3, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to have your toddler meet her new sibling. You did all the right things, greeting Hunter alone before introducing her new brother was so wise. As a mother myself, I know how hard it was to be apart that long from your toddler, so I cried too!
    Well done, parents of two children! Without realizing you were showing other parents how to do this best!

    I love this family so much as I've been watching since you realised Hunter was on the way. I burst into tears seeing Jess's reunion with Hunter 🥰😭😭 Hunter's already an excellent big sister. Heartwarming to see. You two have raised a very mature and loveable daughter and we're all proud of all of you. :)

    This video made me so emotional, cried through half of it. It reminded me of the time when my baby sister was born. I was 2 years older than Hunter now, so I might remember a bit more than her but still the fact that she will be able to watch all of that, that's so sweet. She looks like she's doing an amazing job. I am so happy to see you all happy and together. I truly wish the best for you, I'm so glad I bumped into your channel back in 2020 when the only way I could travel during the pandemic, was with you

    I really appreciate that you guys kept pointing out that a C-section is a major surgery. As Americans, we're taught that it's no big deal and women are shamed for not instantly recovering. Reminders like this help combat that taught instinct.

It reminded me of when I first got to see my oldest boy after giving birth and how big he seemed all of a sudden. He just grew up overnight and it was so overwhelming. I hope you've had a speedy recovery since birth. Your little family is the sweetest x
