    "Not the plan, but we're gonna surrender." Wow, what a beautiful way to describe every birth. 😍

      It started with Michael Scott memes sent everyday that passed and my labour would stop. Then it turned into a joke about how funny Michael Scott would be if he filmed a birth vlog. Then we found out it was Steve Carrels birthday that day and it was all too perfect 😂

    Congratulations to you and your little bundle of joy! Being born en caul is super cool and meaningful in a lot of folklore too, in my culture it's seen as lucky and as if the child is born with mystical armor to protect them in their life 🤗

    @umipack3182 Місяць тому +1

    In my culture borning en caul is very extraordinary thing. It means that the child will be special in his life. He will be close to the spirits and he will have a deep understanding about nature. He will do lot of great things in his life.
    I wish a lot of happy and healthy moments to you and your little boy! ❤

    such an emotional (and fun) Vlog ! you did that. En caul is very rare and so beautiful. so symbolic. All those who birthed unmedicated recognised that transition / despair phase and it only means one thing despite what you feel in the moment : yes you can, and baby is so close !! Welcome Landen, and congratulations Kalyn !

  • @SwissGal16
    @SwissGal16 Місяць тому +10

    En caul births are so rare and magical! If you google it, there’s so many lovely things said about it, like “Some cultures believe that being born en caul has spiritual significance and that a baby will be protected since they came into the world covered up by the amniotic sac that kept them safe during pregnancy.” I hope this is true for your little one ✨. The Office references were so unexpected and probably made this the greatest birth vlog I’ve ever seen. Well done Kalyn!! 🤍

  • @joym5141
    @joym5141 17 днів тому

    The Michael Scott memes were a delightful surprise and the fact that he was born on Steve Carrell’s birthday is just “perfectenschlag”!! (I hope you get the reference lol). I totally teared up at the emotion in your eyes and voice when you talked about Easton and Landen meeting for the first time 🥹 I’ve been following you since 2016 and I just love your journey. Congratulations mama ❤️

    I cried my eyes out - with joy! Seeing you go through this journey after having been following you for over 5 years now, I am just so amazed by who you have bloomed into. And sharing your birth experience has reassured me and given me that encouragement I needed to know that I can do it too ❤ you are and I honestly believe always will be a inspiration for me ❤ xoxo from Prague, Czech Republic

    Kaylyn! Congratulations! I’ve been watching you since my sophomore year of college and our lives have flowed so similarly, it’s like we are kindred spirits. My daughter is a few months older than Easton and my son is now seven months old. My son’s birth was at a birthing center, but he was ultimately taken to the NICU for a day so I absolutely understand your heartbreak amidst of the joy and surrender. 🫶 sending you and your little family so much love!
