- This video talks about the labor and delivery of the baby I had a few months ago. If that is not your thing, click away. I use this platform as kind of a living journal and I wanted to tell the story while I still remember all the details and I also wanted this story to have a place to live until my baby is old enough to hear it.
Life has been so crazy! I'm more tired than I've ever been IN MY LIFE and I'm finally to the point where I'm really enjoying being a mom! it was a HUGE adjustment for me and an even bigger learning curve.... keeping a tiny human alive and healthy is a lot of work, and its defiantly a "learn on the job" kind of situation!
I don't know how I forgot to mention that 2 days after I was discharged from the hospital, I woke up in the middle of the night coughing up BLOOD! I was literally just like "how is so much happening to me all at the same time, I need a break!". So I spent the day in the ER getting checked out, only for them to tell me that I just had a lot of fluid and swelling from the labor and delivery and I just needed to get up and walk it off *like a champ*.... that was the worst $1,000 ive ever spent. but im glad it was just that and not anything more serious!!!
I also forgot to mention that 3 weeks after my back gave out, I started feeling better and then all three of us got PINK EYE! what the heck?!?! I haven't gotten pink eye since I was a CHILD, like we are talking 25 years ago... the eye doctor said that it was going around and spreading like wild fire. He said that he has seen more adults for pink eye in the last month than he has seen in his whole career! There was no way we were going to escape it...
Any way..... Baby boy, I love you! This video is for YOU! - Навчання та стиль
I came for your sewing and cosplay content, but I stayed for your energy and positive attitude. Take your time and enjoy being a new mom! We'll all be here ready and excited whenever you post a video 😊
I so appreciate you choosing to respect your child by not showing them or using them for content, I've had to unsubscribe from some of my favourite creators because they used their children in ways that I as a parent found abusive 💔
I've never clicked on a video so fast! I'm so glad you and the baby are OK! Also F that nurse!
Thank you!!!! And that nurse was so out of line! One of the other nurses heard me complaining about a nurse and asked what happened, turns out Roxy doesn’t vibe with anyone at the birthing center 😂😂🤦🏻♀️
First, take ALL of the time that you need before making videos. You just had a baby! That's a huge physical and mental adjustment, and there's no reason to rush it, most of us will all just be patiently waiting for you to come back when you are ready. Secondly, I am so so glad you are choosing not to put your son out there and make him the focus of any content. Yes, I'd love to see baby pictures, because I'm sure he's the cutest, but that choice to protect him from the Internet is such an important one and I'm glad you're making it.
it hurst my heart when people say mean thing about my silly crafting creations, I don't think I could handle it if people were being mean about my baby! lol and its just not fair to him, he can't say yes or no about his image going up on the internet, and I want to protect him from any and all weirdos on here!! but really, he is the cutest little guy ive ever seen!
The biggest gift you can give yourself and your family is to prioritize wellness and rolling expectations way, way (way) back.
Sharing stories like this is SO IMPORTANT so thank you for taking the time to be candid :D
I think it's so important to share experiences with each other! especially when considering something so impactful as pregnancy and child birth! im glad you liked the video! I was hesitant about whether or not I was going to share at all, but im so glad that I did!
He won't stay little long. ENJOY THE TIME! Baby crackles are the sweetest. Take care of you and you'll be a better mom for it. I look forward to seeing what you come with. Sending Mom hugs from Virginia - Pam K
his little giggles are what I LIVE for! thanks for the mom hug!!! I needed that!!!
You can make whatever content you want or no content at all, we'll be here for you. Take care of yourself and your newly expanded family. You've been through a lot and need to recover. I hope each day is better than the last and you feel like yourself again soon. ❤🤗💐
Congratulations and don't be hard on yourself. You had a little human emerge from your body. Take it easy no one else matters except that little bundle and you. ❤😊
Congratulations!! I'm so glad to hear that everything turned out alright. You guys are rolling with the punches like champs, and you're 100% right to only share baby pictures amongst family and IRL friends instead of with the entire internet. I'll look forward to more of your videos whether they cover cosplay, things you make for the baby, your own perfectly-sized clothes for yourself, etc. :)
Lexie....I adore you. Your energy and the way you talk fast really got to my heart. It makes me want to give you a big hug. You are going to do just fine as a mom!
Such a crazy story though omg the things mamas go through though! Makes us realize how strong we truly are!!!
I love how you mentioned you still need your mama! Mine drove 7 hours to get to me but she had to wait because she wasn’t allowed in the hospital since I tested positive for covid and I was SO SAD and I couldn’t have her see me when I got admitted afterward so it took me 6 days before I could go home and see her and I missed the moment she met him too but we did video chat. We always need our mamas though 😭
I got so happy to see your new video notification pop up!! I’m in awe watching this … what a story !! I’m glad you’re uploading and take your time and we’ll be here ready to support you!
Congratulations on your baby!
I'm so sorry the birth was so traumatic. I learned A LOT after my first child's birth.
I hope you feel comfortable being able to take as much time as you need and find projects you really want to make.
Thank you for all your content. ♥️
Congratulations on growing a human, and going through a traumatic birth. Im so proud that you picked up the phone and got help, recognising the signs. I think because you are a chronic pain warrior like me, you build up a pain threshold. The process of birthing a child in traumatic circumstances has likely triggered a flare up. You may even now experience pain in different ways.
Anyway, i just wanted to say you're amazing. Take all the time you need to settle into this season of life. You may not feel like your under the water now, but youre not ready to get into the boat either. Just get used to swimming, somedays treading water, somedays paddling, somedays sitting on the shore. The boat is there, you can see it. It will still be there when youre ready to get on.
Enjoy motherhood. Lots of love, and gentle healing hugs from your fellow chronic companion. Xx
First: congrats with your little man en second, giving birth is and stays a miracle! Third: Being a mom is bloody hard work! I know, I've giving birth to two sons and will never forget the pain and al the rest! I'm now a grandma, mutch easier. Take your time, I'll keep following you in what you do in the future. 😘👍
Once you feel better, i found baby wearing in a stretchy wrap helpful while trying to sew. 💙 Congratulations on your little one, its so clear that hes so loved!!
he used to LOVE the stretch wrap that we have, and now he HATES being contained lol he is growing up so fast!
@@AlexandriaLayne Isn't that just how it works?! Haha 😂 maybe a jumperoo or activity center?!
@@bethwaechter8927 we got him the kick and play thing (purple monkey song thingy) and he LOVES IT 😂😂 I can stick him in that thing and he will play and entertain himself for like 20 minutes! It’s awesome!
Congratulations on your baby! So glad everyone is now home and safe and happy!😊
I love your attitude, energy and bluntness about everything. I look forward to seeing you make stuff you're really excited about when you're ready😊
Congratulations! You’re a Super hero!
I had a drug free delivery, and ended up having a complication after the fact and needed an emergency spinal/epidural… those things aren’t for the faint of heart! The scream I scrumpt when they jabbed me with that needle!! Friend - you’re a queen. I’m so glad that you and your newest family member are doing well (I’m also happy to hear you mention that maybe in the future you’ll think of having another baby at some point… it sounds like the birth trauma was minimized by some awesome nursing staff who are also (gender neutral) queens).
Thank you! It was such a crazy experience and I was SO EXHAUSTED by the end of it! I definitely didn’t want another baby after this one, but now that I am a few month into motherhood, I think little Ronin needs a friend 😂🙌🏽
@@AlexandriaLayne I just have the one kiddo, so I’m definitely not the kind of person who makes any assumptions about what anyone else’s family “should” look like, … But I’m also a therapist, and have heard enough birth trauma stories where the birthing parent says “never again”, so even entertaining the idea that maybe sometime in the future you would be open to the idea of choosing whether or not you might want to give birth again is pretty darn encouraging. I’m so happy for you and your family. Welcoming a new human into the world is an absolutely awesome experience.
So excited for your cute family! Post Partum is no joke for sure, I'm so glad that you got the support that you needed. Our bodies are so amazing! I love catching up with you on Instagram. Gotta love our Utah weather lol!
Ahhhh!! Congratulations!! My nephew shares a name with your wee bablet! Listen tho pal what you're going through right now is legit difficult. Take all the time you need and we will see you when we see you. :D
Thank youuuuu! It’s been ROUGH!! But we are making the best out of every day!!
First of all, congratulations!! I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were doing and how the baby was doing now that he is here. So glad to hear that you are doing well, even if his arrival was a bit hectic. Please take your time to take care of yourself and adjust as needed. You went through an incredibly traumatic experience while you were still recovering from a terrible viral infection, so it is not surprising that it hit you as hard as it did physically, mentally, and emotionally. Remember to give yourself grace. Be patient with yourself and find joy when and where you can. We will be here when you come back. (And will be happy to watch you create a new wardrobe.)
Also, Ronin’s laugh is already adorable. I am sure that it will be incredibly contagious once it progresses to full belly laughs.
Aaaa thank youuu!!!! Im looking forward to making more videos in the future! I’m enjoying every second with my sweet little guy! It’s been such a crazy past few months, it’s so wild how fast babies grow and change! He learns new things every day and hanging out with him is my favorite thing in the world!
You are a Saint! When I had my son, I was given the Iv in my wrist which I had never had before. I told my nurse that it burns A lot! She basically said no it doesn’t your fine, and as soon as a new nurse came in…I Told on Her 😈! She had no right to undermine my pain! For goodness sakes I was in Full On Labor! So the very sweet nice new nurse moved my IV to the inner elbow
. And I ask that the mean nurse not come back to me because I didn’t appreciate the way she treated me. And she didn’t come back and everything went so smoothly. My first delivery though when I had my daughter 😰 that was a nightmare but we all survived and are healthy now 😅
Congratulations! I'm so glad you're adjusting. Welcome to parenthood!!
thank you! its so different than I ever thought it was going to be! and im one million times busier than I expected!
Congratulations, since I know the expenses of having children as I was the single mom of six I will spread my comments out across multiple comments to generate that baby money!
Congratulations on your son! I'm so happy for you and so glad you and the baby are okay!
I just watched the thrifting video and thought you were funny. Then suddenly you had a baby. I am just sending you happy lovely thoughts and Mother’s Day is soon. ❤
Thank you!! It’s been a wild ride but I’m doing my best! 😂
Congratulations on your gorgeous baby, I love your honesty and I'm sure it will help new moms to get all the help they need. We are told that having a baby is so natural and so it is but not for everyone. I was told labour was a mild discomfort, boy was I surprised. So you telling moms don't think there is something wrong with you and you're just not coping, well that's so supportive it's a life line. You take as much time as you need. I will be here for all your content . Take care.
OMG ITS SO GOOD TO SEE U!! Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations! Take your time and you do you.
“I did not ever anticipate becoming a Muppet” made me laugh out loud so hard oh my gosh😂 I’ve been missing your videos I’m so glad to be watching another one! Congratulations on the baby y’all are such an adorable lil family 🥰 it’s so important to take things slow and take care of yourself and you’ll always have a community here whenever you’re back at it! I love and appreciate staying away from posting “mommy blogger content” for the reasons you mentioned but I also am so excited to see any crafts/updates/sewing you do for the little one. Congrats again!!!
Congratulations! I’m sorry the delivery was so difficult and holy crap I’m so glad you and your baby are doing well. I’m looking forward to new content but only when you’re ready, and in whatever format works for you. Be well.
Thanks for sharing your story! Hope you feel back to making content soon! Miss your videos even if they aren’t sewing :)
Congratulations ❤
So glad to see your back (sort of 😉)
Enjoy your little one and really take your time to heal after all what happend.
Thank you!! I’m definitely taking time to rest and heal, it’s been such a crazy past few months! I’m really looking forward to summer time, I feel like the sunshine will do WONDERS in helping me get feeling like myself again!
😁 congrats!! kids and parenting are something never mastered - just have fun
I was induced on a Monday afternoon. I was not told ahead of time that I would not be allowed to eat once I signed into the hospital. I had my epidural in the middle of the night. I lost around 4 hrs after that I don't remember anything. I remember being told I was fully dilated and I needed to push. I didn't feel the contractions, not really. After pushing for around 6 hours, they decided to do a C-section, I didn't want to push anymore. I had my baby out by noon on Tuesday. I was released from the hospital Friday night without going poo after the C-section. And I was readmitted on Tuesday for a bacterial infection. I went to the hospital with the baby where they told me I couldn't keep her with me, so I had to call my dad to come and get my daughter.
Congratulations and you are so incredible!! Gotta take the time you need for yourself and your family 💞
thank youuuuuu!!! its bee such a weird and crazy past few months! but things are starting to calm down and we are defiantly getting into a groove!
Congratulations to you and your families. X
Thank you!!! 🩵🩵🩵
Ronin in such a cute baby name!!!!!
Thank you!!! It was the ONLY name my husband wanted for a baby boy and I loved it too, so he’s been called “Ronin” since we found out he was in the way!
The muppet 😂
Call me Kermit 😂🤦🏻♀️
Congrats and Holy Crap, that story.
Thank you!!! It was a wild experience!
I love your child's name!! Not sure if you are a.lover of science fiction fantasy,or have read Anne McCaffrey but I believe she had a character named after your child 🫶loved it always ❤,ok I'm done commenting.. enjoy mommying and congratulations again 🫶🦋🦋🦋
💕💕💕💕💕
Pretty sure we had the same nurse 😬 she wasn’t pleasant when I had her either 😂
Omg the epidural HURT for me too haha but then when it kicked in omg so nice the rest of it all was a breeze haha. But only half of me went numb so they had to come back and fix it haha
My baby was 3 weeks early and he was huge and I ripped down there 🤦🏻♀️
I was miserable and told I was positive for covid the day i arrived. Oddly had no symptoms besides a cough. Later got pneumonia 🙃
Labor for me I think started like in the morning I thought it was Braxton hicks but it hurt so bad I called the health center and they had me come in to check if I’m in labor and was told I was 5cm. So I got admitted and then he was born like 7 hours later but felt like time flew I was so miserable with the worst pelvic pain for days at that point and then had my almost 8lb baby 3 weeks earlier than expected so I’m glad he came early I don’t even wanna know what 3 more weeks would have done to me 😂😂
It was after his birth that it went chaotic for me and I got admitted for Covid and my husband had to go home with the baby without me and I cried and didn’t sleep and hardly ate depressed alone in the Covid wing and it was the worst experience ever I hardly even remember the actual birth part of the hospital 😭
That hospital failed you, I understand that there are so many things outside of everyone's control but there were so many things they could've done for you. I'm so happy you guys are doing better and are getting healthy again.❤❤❤❤
in the moment I was definitely doing the best I could, but now that I know different, if I ever have another baby I will be advocating for myself every step of the way! so much was out of my control just because I didn't know any better! and now that I have done it all once, I know how to make things different for next time!
Gotta love natural childbirth!
I understand those epidural gone wrong, I had 1 and only 1 ..in 1987 with my first,they left the tubing in overnight and it migrated and it started a lifelong degradation of my spine.. after that I only did cervical blocks or natural including for my 10lbs 14ounce son who had a 14 cm head.. he was natural and the nurse held his head in until the Dr came, I tore from stem to stern.. 😂😭🤦♀️
That sounds utterly horrifying! I'm so sorry you had to experience that. I have spine issues and other chronic pain issues and I know how much that can make life suck. Good luck to you and I hope you get at least a few pain free days. 🤗
@@Ali626AMM I appreciate you holding space..37 years of spinal issues I now have5discs and fascia issues that cause my back to be inoperable.. pain free isn't something I will probably ever experience,well let me clarify,I spent 5 days in a coma 7 years ago,I'm pretty sure I was pain free then, now I've just adapted,I do physical therapy,I have a tens unit and I focus on being present in my life.. last month I finally said yes to starting a low dose of tramadol daily if the pain disrupts too much of my day,but because this can't be fixed the best course of action is healthcare.. meaning being as physically and mentally fit as I can be.. it helps..as does surrounding myself with positive people 🫶thank you again for your support, I am holding space for your chronic health conditions,us spoonies need to support one another 🫶🦋🦋
💀 @ Muppet
I love your pikachu shirt.

@@AlexandriaLayne one of those moments you'll look back at "yep. THAT happened"
Congratulations!!!! we miss you here, but so happy about your new life as a mommy!!!
Thank you!!! I miss making videos and am looking forward to making some soon! lol I just have to figure out this whole “mom life” thing first 😂😂😂
