We are so excited to see and watch our beautiful little Eva and our Wonderful Wyatts! ❤️
Sending you big hugs!! Your struggles are real and more common than you think. As a new mother you need to make yourself a priority! Getting back into your own home will help your family settle into a routine. Make time EVERY day for you and what you enjoy doing, even for 15 or 30 min. You are worth it!! Matt has some quiet "me time" while driving and he is able to get out of the house..you also need to have "me time" to regroup. Have Matt or Eva's grandparents cover you while you go for jog, walk, take a long shower/ bath or even a 30 min nap. Also many people ask if they can do anything for you...say "yes!!! I have these veggies that really need to be washed and diced" either they watch Eva so you can do it or let them dice. Keep a little note pad handy, so that when you have a thought come to mind of "I really need to get to that" you jot it down. Have Matt or others do something on the list ( Men/dad's are problem fixers by nature but you have to be able to tell them what problem needs fixing)..Maybe have some meal prep for the next day so you can have a quick meal when you have 2 free min!! lol ..Just take one day at a time. Enjoy the little things because time will go so fast.. take lots of pics, videos and mental memos...even if you are not sharing with the world. Be patient with yourself! The post baby brain fog from lack of sleep, lack of new baby experience and anxiety/ overwhelmed feelings will ease. But if emotions are affecting your ability to perform daily routine caring for yourself, Matt, baby or obligations, please please talk to a professional. It can help prevent progression of depression ! Sorry for the book I've written, just wanted to send encouragement to you. Those teary eyes tugged at my heart!! BTW it's ok women need to cry it releases built up stress.. til the next time😘💓👶
This is so true. The first baby is the hardest. Be easy on yourself. Go at your own pace. And share her. Let Matt take some time with her and you do whatever makes you relax. Having a new born does take away from your thought process. So jot stuff down and after a while you'll get in the grove and wouldn't need to do it till you get to my age and that's old age syndrome. 😁
Enjoy the time with Eva, it goes by so fast.
You’ll get back to videos when you’re ready.
We will all be here. We adore you all.
Being a new momma is a very hard job to learn.
It can be scary and we can run ourselves crazy
with fears and what ifs. Add hormones changing,
It can make you feel like you’re losing it. 💞Hugs💞
Hang in there momma, this too shall pass. Take your time with your sweet little girl, we will still be here ❤️😘🥰😍
You look so happy and sound so calm and content. I'm so happy your able to give attention to the important things. Keep on keeping on, my beautiful friend.
Hi Blair, It's so good to see you! I have to say nobody quite prepares you as to how you're going to feel after the baby comes. It took me quite awhile to get back to my old self again. All of those extra hormones that are necessary to support the baby come flooding out of your body after the baby arrives. And there were times after all the initial excitement that I felt a bit isolated. Hubby went back to work, the relatives all went home and there we were. But we adapted a new routine and I'm sure you will too! Getting back to the gym sounds like a GREAT idea. Diet really helps too! Hope you guys have a great weekend:)
And might I add this. Parenting isn’t easy, but it is rewarding. Deep breaths....the adjustment is so hard, you question everything, but you are hard on yourself. Simply enjoy the precious gift you have. The gift of a beautiful little one that will love you so hard. You are doing great.....you have this....you will be great. Deep breaths and appreciate the gift you have been blessed with. Not only the little one...but just the whole situation. You are in a great spot. Have faith, and you all are doing great!
Thanks for the update. I think that you getting back to the gym will help a lot.
I have 2 girls and 1 of them are getting ready to go to college. In the early years, it happens to some but in our experience, I didn't last. The girls have been a very special part of our lives and are one of the biggest reasons we started camping and RVing. Keep your head up and we will be praying for you and the family
The one thing I know for sure, is that babies are so resilient!
I know it’s difficult to relax into parenthood, especially if you suffer with anxiety.
Just keep doing what you’re doing with Eva, she’s growing and happy, so you’re doing something right!
My daughter suffered from severe postpartum depression with her second child. It was bad.
Keep talking about it, try to stay connected with friends and family. Allow them to take care of Eva and go take a nap or a walk.
As far as outside, a screened tent would allow you to go out. Also there is a product named, clamshell or something like that. Creativity RV has one and it looks amazing and she loves it!
Blair, you are the perfect momma for Eva. You are equipped with all you need. But sometimes you need help, it’s ok. First time parenting is hard, it’s all foreign to what you knew!
As far as having more than one child, for me, it was easier than the first one. I think because you learn how resilient and strong they are, so the fear and anxiety is reduced so much.
Don’t worry about videoing, you’re doing some hard work right now. Just be with your family, enjoy the moments you have. We understand and we love you!!
Until next time...
Here is a link to Creativity RV. She is sitting inside the clamshell. She will be doing a separate video all about it.
ua-cam.com/video/l2raMyZxnLo/v-deo.html
"sending blessings". Give time. It is never easy, but you get the greatest gifts of love. Breathe, rest, eat, live the moments you are given. As a father, I went threw it all, Every child for the longest time I and their mom were exhausted. I walked 8 hours straight before and that felt easier lol. Enjoy the moments even if stressed. :)
Give yourself a break . It's all new nobody is perfect, a learning curve. Don't worry about the videos.
I've been a quiet follower of your channel for awhile now. I just wanted to reach out and say you're doing a great job! My daughter just turned 13 mos and I can so so relate to all that you're experiencing now. I'm so glad you are keeping tabs on everything. I didn't... and ppd snuck up on me HARD. Thanks for sharing and being authentic! I feel like not enough people talk about how earth shaking in positive AND difficult ways it is to become a Mom.. Keep on trucking!
P.S. I also had a water birth! 🤗
New parents in a Rv, your both Amazing!
Everything you are going through is totally normal! Just give yourself time to adjust to all these changes and know that you are doing the best that you can. Things will start to calm down and get easier and you will become much more comfortable as time goes by. Take care of yourself and continue to do things for just yourself like going to the gym because that will help your mood and your overall state of mind. I think Eva is in great hands and I am positive she feels the same way just love her and enjoy every single minute of it because it goes by so fast! Take care and know I am saying a prayer for you to feel better❤️
You got this and remember there really is no instruction book when it comes to your new Baby, your a new Mom and of course everything your experiencing is completely normal. And this is coming from a man with no kids, or Wife. You should put the entertainment aspect on the back burner and just live your lives. We will always be here for sure! God bless you and many Prayers to you and the whole family!
Don't be too hard on yourself sweetie, you guys are doing great. If you would like to hear about Zblend hemp oil, it is great for anxiety
You are doing great. Your precious baby is what your focus should be. Top priorities is your baby, youself, and your husband. Parenting can be a guessing game at times. There is no manual, go with your instincts. Welcome to motherhood. The best and most rewarding job there is.
Mosquitoes........seriously, try a couple of lemongrass plants around the RV. Planted one on the back patio ages ago and haven’t had a mosquito problem since. Look into some repellent plants.
Blair love yourself girl your normal the first-hand experience
baby is tough I was in your shoes long ago lol. More you get out like going to the gym take walks with the dogs this will really help. You both are great parents please try and not be so hard on yourself. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your video about what you are going through. As new perants its going to be a little challenging at first, but it will get better as Eva grows.
Coconut oil is a great sunscreen and mosquito repellant. Great for repelling fleas as well for your dogs. Also, it's healthier to use than baby oil for the things baby oil is used for! 🤗
Organic virgin unrefined cold pressed coconut oil. I buy thr Carrington Farms brand.
Congrats mom - one day at a time - breathe deep and know that everything is gonna be wonderfully fine!
Hang in there, Sweetie! It WILL get better! I had horrible postpartum depression after my firstborn son came along. I tried to breastfeed him, but he was a barracuda! It took 6 months of tears and frustration but we made it! My second third births were picnics! I successfully breastfed both of them for one year. I took Brewers Yeast tablets and did NOT have one episode of depression. I really think the Brewers yeast was the magic! Try it!!
Blair please relax and be kind to yourself as you deserve the break. Having a baby is a huge change it looks and sounds like you are doing great just be kind to yourself.
I was only able to breastfeed for a month and then had to accept that she would be healthier with formula then my small amount of milk. It was hard and tears were shed I had postpartum for months and found walking at the mall helped with my daughter. It will pass and is not totally in your control. Best wishes and hug Eva for me. Cheryl
Y'all are doing a great job and it's all about timing. Get some recipes for some quick healthy meals so you don't get run down. It's great that your getting back to the gym as that will release the stress that you might have. This is all new to you but you in time will get the hang of it so don't worry be happy. I am real proud of y'all. Have fun at the gym. Hugs to Eva. Love ya. Oh and Buzz and Brady too.
Dont feel bad how you are feeling Mama...many women feel as you do. I was a panicked mess..in my case it was related to a postpartum overactive thyroid issue which resulted in a dangerously high heart rate, severe mood swings, erc. It took me nearly 6 months to feel better and then I got pregnant again and it got way worse but finally after that 2nd pregnancy, I was diagnosed and treated.
Part of the major treatment I had to do, was to do cardio exercise 6 days a week. High levels of adrennaline occurs with thyroid issues and can set off what seems to be anxiety issues and panic and even depression. But I realized those symptoms were NOT the diagnoses but symptoms of a messed up thyroid. I learned to reduce calcium intake from avoiding milk, ice cream, etc,..as calcium goes right to the thyroid and swells it up causing immediate symptoms. Sugar avoidance is guaranteed to remove symptoms like anxiety and panic because sugar also causes the thyroid to go nuts, as well as sugar increases adrennaline too. Has your doctor checked your thyroid or are you known to have issues with it? Its so common for women to be told they have postpartum depression and drs want to treat that woman with mood drugs, which will never help. I was put on a blood pressure med called Propranolol/Inderol for my high heart rate only and it also treats anxiety. Worked like a charm. Its basically an adrennaline blocking drug...life changing for sure!!! I also have a Sperti Vitamin D light which is covers under many insurance plans. 😁 Its very helpful.
In the end, you will be fine. Give yourself time, its normal to feel overwhelmed, exhausted and terrified..I was the poster child for the panicked, anxious new Mom. I ultimately had 2 bio kids....stopped that route because my heart issues ( now permanent from the thyroid because no doctor would treat me in time, even though I told them for a decade I was sure it was my thryroid) and instead went on to adopt 4 kiddos from China. I now have SIX kids ranging from 22-5. I never could have believed this would be my life AFTER how I was as a first time Mama. Just know, you will get through this time and you WILL get better!!!
Hubby and I also struggled with male factor infertility, went through fertilty treatments and trying for 3 years before giving up and believing we would never get pregnant. A month after giving up, we got pregnant on our own, then about a month or so later, we miscarried! Against the doctors wishes, now knowing we could maybe get pregnant on our own, we tried to get pregnant just 3 weeks later and we conceived and here was our first son...our miracle!!! I felt guilty because here, I was FINALLY having the baby I so desperately wanted and I felt unhappy. It made me feel even worse. Again, I learned its normal. Allow yourself to feel but remember if you are feeling things it does not make it truly a real fact....its just a passing feeling. I thought I could hurt my baby accidentally somehow, was terrified I could not take care of him but after that first 6-9 months I realized I could do it!!! I gained confidence, and most importantlynzi adjusted! It takes time to get a new sense of normsl. Funny thing is, I struggled so badly to love and attach to my biological kids and to feel ok being a Mama...and so naturally I was terrified that adopting a child who was not related to me would be worse. To my surprise, I had zero issues and in fact felt immediate love and attachment to them. Crazy.
i had my first in the summer too so I know what you're talking about being hot...hard to get out early enough to not be hot. i used a net over the stroller to keep the mosquitoes off...sold for strollers.
When my daughter was about 4 months we would go for daily early morning walks before it would get too hot. She was in her car seat in a stroller most of the time, with a bug net over her so no mosquitoes got to her! I completely understand everything you touched on here. It gets better. If you ever need to talk, feel free to message me!
Just thought I would add.. I had a rollercoaster of anxiety and depression from birth until about 1 year. She's 2.5 now, and its still hard sometimes. But so, so worth it!
You might want to chat with Kaley (I'm terrible with names but I think that's her name) from The Freedom Theory. They are full time RV'ers and she struggled with post partum depression after her boy was born last year.
Hang in there! Try not to overanalyze (easier said than done!) You're doing great!
Love you guys and I pray for you often. Pick up that camera and take lots of video and photos just for you. The memories will fade and a photo or video keeps them fresh in our minds. Don't do it for UA-cam, just for yourself.
You're doing fine. The first few months are HARD! Be easy on yourself.
Why edit? This is real life. Take small little clips of you guys and Eva just when you can because in the end these memories are for you, we just get to join your journey. You are doing a great job. It will take time. Talk to a specialist, just if it is a schit schat. Sometimes things will come up that we didn't know that were there. Eva is tough and strong. I felt that, that feeling where you are responsible for EVERYTHING for this little human and you don't want to mess it up. You both will get there. Wasted calories don't count. Think of what kind of calories does Eva need. God Bless you.
Hello, you two have never had a baby before. Hang in there, you are so so normal. The first one is always the test baby.... next one you will say, wow, I was stressed about this....you two will be fine.
She will grow so so fast. Keep up the great job....👍🏼
You are doing great! Don’t feel like you have to edit anything. Life is an adventure, life is not edited, life is lived. Love this video because of how real you are. Reach out to anyone of us out here when you feel a need to chat. Life with a new little one can be difficult but you guys got this!
Blair, it's ok to lay her down & let her cry/scream, it builds up her lungs & it's way less stressful for U if Ur not feeling that U have to hold her ALL the time. {UR doing a GREAT JOB & it does get better....}
Trust me I had 18 newborn Foster Babies along W/3 of my own children, & I never held them all the time, & when they cried I wasn't always able to jump right up & tend to whatever their needs were. She needs to learn that she's not going to have her own way all the time right now when she is young.
Trust me it won't kill her to scream/cry once in awhile.... I know some will say U should hold her ALL the time & NEVER let her cry.... BOLOGNA all of my kids were not held all the time & they R now in there 40's & 30's & none of them R worse for wear from me letting them cry... & I NEVER kept the house quiet when they were sleeping, I ran the vacum right under their beds while they slept....
In fact we moved R oldest daughter while she was sleeping to 3 different households & she didn't wake up once. It's great to be able to make noise While they R sleeping, After all Life does go on while baby is sleeping.....
It will set U free from all the stress & anxiety of having to tip toe around Her while she sleeps... Love U my dear Young friend..... & above all else don't worry about all of us, Vlog when U want to or feel up to it......
Yes we miss U when Ur not posting, but any women that is worth her salt knows how stressful things R when Ur a New Mom
Mom's have a built in knowing about their kids, & U do as well, everything seems overwhelming right now, but from the sounds of it U both R doing a Great JOB! & it does get much better. If I can find this one posting, it's very funny about Newborn babies in the household, U & Matt need a good laugh, anyway I'll send it to U....
There’s a moms group that’s nationwide called MOPS (Mother’s of preschoolers birth to kindergarten) being around other moms and gaining their knowledge and support are life changing. Just google it to find a group in your area. Promise.
I had my 1st son and had secondary infertility after . So he was 10 before #2 came along. The fear doesnt change. When we came home from having our 2nd child I still remember the feeling of oh my God what do I do.
Try to get out with Eva and take a walk every morning.
You have great momma bear instincts. Remember to trust in your self. You got this. Take time to enjoy the moments an relax because sadly it goes by so fast.
Your a GREAT MOM!
Hey there Blair... y'all are doing great ! Alot of changes and adjustments tends to up anxiety. I have anxiety and changes for me are really hard. We lived in our 5th will and when we came back from travel it was change and we stayed in parks until we decided to rent a place and the hubby went back to work.. it trigger anxiety and seperation axiety on top of ptsd. If has gotten better and I relate to you. So maybe you have had some seperation type anxiety. You can still be a great mom with anxiety or depression .. so try and rest and self care and hugs you got this! Sorry comment is long..lol.
You are doing fine even when you don't think you are. As long as Eva is fed, clean diaper and clothes, is happy and you are doing your job. Breastfeeding is hard work. I couldn't with any of mine. They came early because of a previous issue and my milk didn't drop right away so by the time it did they were use to the bottle. You will have to remember to take little breaks for yourself like take a nap or go to the store for food. Try not to dwell or overthink things. You are a 1st time parents so give yourselves a break. All moms go through abit or alot of post partum and they don't come with personalized instructions lol Go with the flow :) Take care and positive thoughts and prayers your way.
You are a great mommy & we will all be here when you are ready to get back to videos! Hang in there! It all will get easier! ❤️
Hang in there kid! It gets easier and better. Believe it or not, you'll probably even get to a point where you want to do it all over again! Before you know it, years will have past and you'll be sad they've grown up too fast.
It all sounds kind of normal to me... I get those anxieties with each new baby we are blessed with.. Struggling with breastfeeding makes it ten times worse. Personally, I can't do any (extra) exercise until baby is at least 6 months old or it really messes with my milk production. Plus if they are struggling to latch, yeah... it just makes everything worse and any struggles in that area especially makes PPD worse (for me). If they cry a lot, colicky or other issues... It's HARD. It's hard when they start crying and you can't figure out why. It seems about the time I figure out their cries they start teething and it all goes to heck again. I have to dramatically increase my calorie intake-even from pregnancy calorie intake or it really does mess with my milk production. I nurse on demand, no bottles, no pacifiers.. It's the only way I can establish my milk supply.. About 6 months old and they start to stop using me as much of a pacifier, but I'm ok with that. I have to eat a lot of carbs, drink a ton of water and I can't pump... It either dries me up or causes mastitis (you really don't want that)... I take sunflower lecithin to keep away mastitis. That's just what helps me, I don't watch your fitness channel...because fitness and I don't get along lol... I JUST started exercising, my last surviving grandparent is dying of heart issues and that worries me so I'm trying to keep my heart healthy.. That and 6 kids later I finally learned what a toll being pregnant takes on my ab muscles (why don't they ever tell us these things?!?!). Ashwaghanda root helps me with PPD, anxiety and any other hormone issue my body throws my way-and it's safe for breastfeeding.. Oh! Allergy medicine dries up milk, too. Caffeine affects some people, certain foods affect some people. If you need personal help find a local IBCLC, or Dr Jack Newman on FAcebook posts great info on breastfeeding-he's a doctor in Canada. For the mosquitos... If you are sitting still, OFF makes little mosquito fans, I found them by the spray at Walmart.. If you have Eva (I have an Eva, too) in a baby carrier on you, I spray myself except where their face will be then put the baby carrier on. They make mosquito nets for strollers, if you have her sitting in a bassinet or a play pen, take an extra crib sheet and fasten it over the top for sun and mosquito shade. Citronella essential oil works pretty awesome... I always put eucalyptus oil in the bath soap (theirs and ours), just be careful it doesn't go on her face. But it lasts longer that way. Now all that being said, the best way I've found to combat PPD is to GET OUT.... I took a walk at 6 AM the other day to beat the heat because I needed OUT of the house. MY husband thought I was nuts... Then he wanted to walk at 9 AM and we came home sweating buckets. Now that I've written a book... You aren't alone. I promise you aren't. You can PM me if you need a mom to talk issues with. Prayers.
Ppd is the worst. But you will get past it. Cry your eyes out when you can it helps relieve stress. BIG HUGS!! You got this soon you will be running after her wishing she would slow down. Lol Be safe take care of yourself! You can't take care of her if you don't take care of yourself first!
You're doing a good job!! Relax & Enjoy this baby time. It goes by so quickly!🙁 To get out a bit more, you can always take Eva for a car ride & shopping! Hugs! 🧡 😘 🥰
You and Matt are doing great. Try not to have too much anxiety about caring for Eva. You’re still adjusting to life with baby and once you’ve established a routine, things will go smoother.
I remember when I was so nervous to change a diaper, I would shake when I had to use the pins to put the diaper on her....yes, I am old :) Anyway, after a few months, I was setting land speed records for diaper changes. From one parent to another, welcome to a whole new world that doesn't come with an instruction manual. Oh, and I broke out into a sweat the first time I had to watch her by myself and she cried for at least 10-15 seconds. Yes, I did have line of sight to the phone for the rest of the night...just in case. So, with that said, we have now raised 4 and they have all survived in spite of us (I actually mean me)...We just did what we thought was the best for them at the time. We (Me) didn't make all the right decisions or do all the right things, but somehow it worked out. But I do know this, even with all of the nervous nights, wondering if I did the right thing, or questioning myself "am I really a good enough dad"?, replaying all kinds of situations as they grew up and evaluating myself on how I could have done better, I have come to learn a really simple lesson. If God had meant for me to be anywhere else or be anybody else, I would be. I know it is easier said than done...no really, I do :0) Take a deep breath, look at that sweet adorable face that just makes you melt, and smile...you will be just fine. Oh, and thank God that you don't have to deal with those blasted safety pins, :) Take care..love you guys
Would love to hear more on the mold in motor home, in other wards what to look for and how he killed it! Maybe a video- As for you and baby, it will be fine. She’s a real gem!!
It sounds like you are trying to say you are learning to love motherhood but it is not as easy as you imagined it to be when you were pregnant. You are working on settling in to being a mother and your new role but putting way to much pressure on yourself. Maybe pause your channel and just live your new life with your newborn for awhile. This is just social media, you dont have to show the world your newborn and explain away why you are busy and not able to produce content for other people. Being a mom is all new to you and maybe it's time to simplify your life, free up some time to bond with your daughter and put priories and boundaries in place to balance your life and enjoy this blessing you have been given. This is a new season for you, please take care.
Think you’re doing everything right :) enjoy this time . It’s your time not ours
Women need to talk and talk about things that people (men) don’t understand how much we need to talk. They want to solve the problems 🤷♀️😩🍼
Hi Blair! So good to see you. Give Eva some kisses and squeezes for me. She is a little 👼 so I can imagine how much y'all just want to be with her and soak it all in. Give Brady and Buz some lovin for me too! Hugs and kisses to you and Matt. Hope you had a great workout. 😘💖💓👶💓🐾💓🐾💓💖 Rosemary scented products and Skin so Soft from Avon can help keep Mosquitoes away. Rosemary plants by windows and doors can help keep them at bay too.
It's me again, it won't allow me to send it to U so go to UA-cam & pull up Michael Jr. He has a whole line of Vlogs on the New born baby, He'll make U laugh till Ur sides ache....
Well hello there young lady I knew that things would start speeding up for you and Matt but then I also know the things will start to level out once routine sets in and Eva gets a little older this phase will change and the new face will set in and a whole new perspective on life will be a totally different situation something to look forward to I've done my raising as a father my daughter Jessica Now 26 the easiest time from me and her mother was when she was first born. Okay now on another note try to do a whole lot more vlogging it will help with your feeling of loneliness as you get through this few weeks phase of postpartum not only that but then you are creating a video memory that you and Matt can look back on good luck you too on this journey and we will be here waiting for your next video peace.
