  • Yes... we took our newborn on our annual extended family lake trip. Was it challenging, of course it was. But did we have fun? YES!!!

    I’m a first time mama as well and my baby had SO many blowouts the first few months. I tried switching her to the next size up diapers to see if it would help. And it helped SO much! She rarely had blowouts after keeping her in a bigger diaper! Just a little mama advice!❤️

    • @omairaaortega
      @omairaaortega Рік тому +3

    It is so hard in the beginning, you’re right, to do things like this. There is so much to remember and the thought of it going drastically wrong can be overwhelming. But once you are there, it’s always worth it. The sweet memories are worth the stress beforehand. I have found, as well, that with every trip, it gets easier and easier. You guys are rocking it, just like we all knew you would!
    Pumping on a boat! That’s what motherhood is all about. 💗 Go Matt and Abby!!

And this trully surprises me because all of my friends are having babies but they seem like they are living the worst, literally, and I just listen to them complain ALL the time. As I said it must be hard, but you are finding the balance with this new life! I hope and pray you continue to be this happy and much more!!

    When we first started a family we lived a 12 hour drive away from either of our parents.
    I was very homesick pretty much all of the time so I (yes, by myself) took a trip back home about every 3 months. Our oldest is 10 and the trips back home have slowed because they aren’t needed like they were then. With that being said, trips were much, much, much easier when the kids were younger! They just enjoyed playing with their toys and having their snacks and looking at the scenery around them. We took many longer stops and kicked a ball around at parks, or rode scooters, but now, they aren’t as content. Trips with younger kids are much easier in my experience. 😄

But it's so refreshing to see a young new dad being the one to lead the videos and to be interacting with his son. I just just see the love Matt has for Griffin is so true and he shares such open and honest moments. I'm here for it. Lol I want a baby so bad haha the little matching outfits, griffin looks so precious. I'm already a night owl so I expect to be up at 4am with or without a baby one day haha. 🙃
