Thank you for continuing to put out these vlogs during your postpartum❤ if you needed to hear it, i think youre doing amazing handling it all. Also i think you mentioned in the previous vlog how you were handling wanting to be there for Easton and now having new baby. Are things still going ok? Is he still adjusting to the new baby?
Thank you so much! 🫶🏼 Also, he’s doing so well 🥲 it was about a week or two of highs and lows and now he’s well adjusted, actually I think we all are better adjusted now because I’m also able to tend to him more again. He calls Landen “brudder” (brother lol) and tries to show him his books and toys, it makes my whole flipping day. Thanks for checking in ♥️
Hey Kalyn! I have been a pretty silent follower for many many years now and I just wanted to let you know how much you inspire me. Your videos have always been my comfort videos and after watching I feel so inspired for life and staying true to myself... I don't even know how to put that into words. So, I guess I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to make this kind of content that may not be mainstream and whats on trend at the moment but has been so comforting and inspiring throughout the years. I wish you all the best and hope you can enjoy this chapter as much as possible but also know that it's okay to feel it all. xx
As much as I would love to watch this, it breaks my heart ‘cause I have had two misscariages this year and my dad died. I love your videos, love seeing your little family, but I will miss on those videos for a few months. I just can’t see you this happy when I am heartbroken ❤
I’m so sorry for all of your loss 😞 I hope there is someone taking good care of you in this season of life, that is so much to go through at once. I’m sending you a lot of love!
I’m partway through video, have to pause to go to work and will come back to watch the rest. Thank you again for bringing us along on your journey with such authenticity, and for lack of a better phrase, your knowledge as you go through what works for you. As I am mentally preparing to have a child in upcoming couple of years and it’s invaluable for me to have someone to look up to so to speak, so what you are doing with this content is very comforting. Seeing someone the same age as me going through a parallel experience
This was such a sweet and wise vlog 🥰 I’m not a mom, but I always feel like I gain so much wisdom and perspective from the way that you walk yourself through handling these changes and anxieties. Thank you so much for being here for us. I pray things are continuing to go well!. I think you’re doing absolutely amazing 🥰😘🥰
Sometimes, I wonder how you even find the strength and positivity in yourself to share such reflections of how important the beauty of the present moment is and how temporary it is. Being so busy with home chores and responsibilities, and nourishing a baby, etc., you still are able to share such a big chunk of positivity that is so refreshing. For me, at least, sometimes I get pessimistic, and I think this has kept me subscribed to your channel for so many years---the sheer amount of positivity, the beauty of life, and the possibility for mental clarity you transmit through your videos. xx
My favorite verse to go to when I'm feeling anxious is in Philippians and it says, "'Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. " (Philippians 4:6-9) ♥️ Love watching you grow as a mama 🌻praying for so much peace and blessing over you for this new season of your life.
I love your vlogs, thank you for making them even tho you just became a mum again. It’s just so beautiful to witness you growing into the woman you are, cry with you and laugh with you. I loved this vlog especially with the voiceover. It was just beautiful🤍🤍🤍
I really love watching these postpartum vlogs. I’m currently 38 weeks with a little girl and I have a toddler so I’m getting a lot of great tips from you and keeping them in mind when my peanut decides to show up.
I needed this. I'm also a postpartum mama. My son is two months old and was finally diagnosed with silent acid reflux. He's my first and we've been having a hard time navigating this journey which has led me to develop postpartum anxiety. Your vlog was like a reassuring friend. Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤
You’re doing it right! Release the guilt of Mommy multitasking! Enjoy and relish every moment of when they’re babies, it goes by so fast! Spend hours staring at him & him giving zerberts, playing with your first and singing along with his favorite shows. It’s been 16 years since my last child and I’m so grateful that I took that time! Take walks, roll around in fallen leaves, and forget about the housework. You have all your life you keep a clean house later, make priceless memories now. 💖
I love that you're rewatching Gilmore Girls, I am too. And thank you for sharing all of this with us. My partner and I are going to start a family soon and I'm pretty anxious, but this makes me feel more calm and empowered.
I am in awe of your how you were able to stretch... I'm 6 weeks postpartum and there are things I'm still struggling with physically- even going for a half hour walk leaves me feeling so uncomfortable. Maybe the answer is MORE movement! I am finding your postpartum content so comforting, thank you for taking time to share this content ❤
Honestly this video is exactly what I needed, thank you for posting. I am currently nap-trapped with my baby boy and was feeling down that I haven’t been able to do more around the house. You helped me realize how special this time is and to not take it for granted. I have loved your videos for years and I so appreciate you for sharing your life with us. Though we don’t know each other, it’s so nice to see other people in the same stages of life. Congrats on a beautiful baby ❤️
I needed this so much. Thank you for sharing kalyn. You bring me so much peace and motivation🤍 you and your family are so beautiful. I love your kitchen by the way!!
you’re doing AMAZING! Everyone moves at their own pace and you’re doing a great job tuning into what your body and mind need. I am soooo tender with myself postpartum. The sleep deprivation really rocks me so I tend to prioritize sleep over everything else for at least the first couple months. And I take my sweet time emerging from the postpartum cocoon. I very much relate to the desire to have my external surroundings in order so that my mind can feel at ease. Sometimes the hardest part is accepting that you will feel “behind” for a while
I have been following you for a very long time, and have grown with you. I always saw you as somewhat of my soul sister, everything you talked about in previous videos and life chapters just happened to resonate with my life and challenges so deeply. It's been beautiful to watch you in this new season of your life. At first, it scared me!! I'm 23 and not starting a family any time soon, and am somewhat sensitive to this sort of life chapter. But slowly, as I have watched you share your life as a mother and with a newborn, something new has clicked in me and I feel myself so strongly attached to you and your content again. I don't know how to explain it, but thank you for everything. You mean so much to me, Kayln! I'm a silent viewer but am always supporting you
I lightly looked through the comments before posting this so it seems that I am not the only one who needed this today. I’m so grateful for this space that you host. And I’m so happy for you in this chapter of life.
Thank you for these vlogs and sharing your life with us still after all these years. I was watching your vlogs when Easton was born and how you and Vicki would go for a walk or she would come over and help with tasks. She would be so proud of you and your little family 🤍💫✨
Thank you for sharing your postpartum journey so honestly! 🌸 You're doing amazing, and your strength is inspiring to so many of us! Keep shining, Kalyn! ✨
The ending brought me to tears! I am one month postpartum with baby #4. I had an emergency c section this time, so it has been especially difficult to get back to myself again. Also trying to find balance between getting things done and cherishing my last baby! So bittersweet
I’m so happy to see you being kind to yourself and as you say “soaking it in” mine have grown now and I’m watching you feeling very grateful see a part of your baby days as I miss mine ❤🙏 much love to you Kalyn and your lil boys..treasure it!
Absolutely beautiful transition and giving us a few minutes of time to give us a small look into your time with your son. Thank you for making us feel apart of your life. I know it’s not easy and you know what you make it okay to take it slow and working with your body you are doing incredibly well. You don’t have to apologise for leaving small precious and special moments just for you and Landen like you had with Easton. Just know i’m thinking about you don’t worry about getting out every little minute those are the moments that are just for you and your little family. Love you to the moon and back Lu 🧡
Take all the time you need and enjoy your little ones. 💕 I know you and I don’t know each other but I’m so proud of you! The person (& mother) you continue to become every day is beautiful. ✨
I honestly hate thinking back on how stressed I was the year of wedding planning. My fiancé wanted to elope, while I wanted a medium sized wedding. We ended up having a kind of small-ish wedding (invited 100 but only 75 came, including us lol). I sooo wish I had deleted tiktok and never gotten on bride/wedding planning Facebook groups. I thought I was getting “inspo” but really I was just seeing so much trash and drama and yuck. Trying to find the perfect middle on everything was also so stressful. Family stuff was stressful…I so relate to the feeling you mentioned of not feeling like I was doing enough. We tried so hard to keep the budget down but it still wasn’t cheap - at the same time, it was on the lower end of most weddings now-a-days. All that being said…we had a great day. It was beautiful. Every detail I meticulously planned came out great. We were surrounded by loved ones. The wedding party was amazing. Everyone was just happy to be there. It felt very much like it was about us getting married and not just some “show” we were putting on.
This video was just beautiful. Can really feel that you are in the thick of that raw early postpartum time. Big love to you as you navigate it all. You're doing amazing mama ❤
I so resonate with what you're saying. I lived in fear of falling behind with my first baby & I hope to move a bit slower & take time to rest more when I have a second. BUT I think there's so much pressure on social media to "soak it up" & like fear mongering that it will be over when you blink. Yes, it does go so fast. But I also don't think it's helpful to guilt yourself for not staring lovingly at your baby 8 hours a day (speaking to myself as much as to anyone else). *sigh* You're doing the best you can, and you're doing an amazing job.
I love watching your journey, It is so inspirational❤ you are allowed to be eager to do work and enjoy your body movements again, It is part of your identity and purpose in life and women should hear it more often, you are a great mom still and even better for it❤
Women are amazing, you are amazing!!! ❤ I am rewatching all your videos while I work at the office and hearing you years ago already talking and fantasising about your kids one day… oooh Kalyn! 😊
You feel like my Pisces sister, in similar seasons of life. I am 8 months post partum with my first and watching you go through your second is magical. I’m so grateful to get an update on you Kalyn. Enjoying the season is exactly where you need to be. Happy for you, impressed by you, grateful for you. 🦋🩵💙
I just had my second baby as well, 6 days ago. I loved all of your nesting vlogs but I loved these postpartum videos even more ❤ thank you for sharing your journey
Lovely vlog ❤❤ I can relate so much. I started not using my phone while breastfeeding starting with my daughter's 3rd month of age. It definitely made me much happier enjoying this bonding moment. I miss that era a lot, and I feel so lucky that I still get to enjoy it until now. And please, please pleaaase lower the music volume whenever Landen makes any sounds 😂 we don't need any music to cover that ❤❤ And just a tip, there's no need to find balance, especially now. Just go with the flow. Just as you said, he sometimes sleeps more, sometimes less. Sometimes you'll be able to do more and sometimes you will just need to rest. So, don't think a lot. ❤
I feel like everyone handled postpartum better than me. The fact that you had time to do your hair….. my baby is 6 months old and I still haven’t done my hair once lol
This is the sweetest vlog every ❤ thank you so much for uploading even though your lofe has just gone through a huge shift 💕 truely look forward to watchinf your videos anytime you upload ❤
You're right, I think they'll always need us, but just not need me in the same way in terms of swaying to sleep, contact naps, long long cuddles that absorb any time for anything else 🥲 its so bittersweet
@@KalynNicholson So true, it’s so bittersweet. I try to remind myself that it’s actually an accomplishment, my child not needing those things. And though that’s true, I’m the worst for mourning the loss of a stage instead of welcoming the excitement of the next. Ugh, it’s so hard. Enjoy it for as long as you have it!! ❤️❤️
@@KalynNicholson and Emily in Paris so much enjoyable to watch🙌🏻🍁🍂 ❄️☃️winter/fall season , episodes are so amazing and the views adorable . Highly recommend Kalyn 🤗
5 years later you will have a 5 & 7 years old. They wont need much , maybe going to school 😢 ohh life is very strange isnt it? Like you said all I asked from universe was this ❤ I hope I can have the courage to have another child as well❤ I am just not ready yet
How do handle of all of this with two little ones? It seems like in the blog it's just you and the newborn. I felt like with my second it was so much harder to slow down when I also had a toddler to take care of. I was very lucky that my mother in law would ofteb help so that I could escape to my room with my newborn and just relax with her...but the vast majority of the time I was juggling caring for my newborn and also giving my other child my attention as well. It was hard! 😢
My toddler goes to daycare 4 days a week, and that’s usually when I’m able to film more easily! I put him in daycare when I found out I was pregnant and so I could have a few uninterrupted hours through the week to work because I don’t have any regular help (my mother in law sadly passed in 2023, and my dad lives a decent road trip away) so when he is home, I’m on my own with two of them 90% of the time. Sometimes you have to pay for your village, it has definitely helped me for this newborn season!
I think the best way to “get back to yourself” after baby, is to remember what you loved before them. If all you ever think/talk/vlog about is motherhood, you will never get back to yourself because your entire identity is wrapped up in “mother”. And no, getting back to work doesn’t count, because your job doesn’t define you either. What are your hobbies? What are your passions? What are things you did before that lit you up and made you happy that you did just because they were FUN? New mothers oscillate between baby duties, house cleaning, and work and then wonder why they feel anxious and unhappy. There’s more to life than your to-do list…. go have some fun!
While I totally agree with the idea that doing things you love and having fun helps you feel like yourself, in the context of this video I have to respectfully disagree. This was filmed weeks 2-3 postpartum. Getting up to tidy the house a bit, putting on a cute outfit, writing, spending time outside, doing yoga, watching my comfort shows, reading lots and yes, even creating content again which happens to be work for me - those are me doing things I love to do but kept within the realm of my physical comfort/healing level. I think it’s a little unfair to expect someone only a few weeks after spending 10 months growing and then birthing and then keeping alive a whole new human to think/talk (or in my case, when sharing my day to day life, vlog) about anything else. Your brain chemistry quite literally changes to prioritize this new little being. For the first while, you’re trying to find a whole new groove and rhythm as your life changes to welcome this new person who is quite literally attached to you and depends on you to survive and thrive. If for a few weeks (or heck, months or even years) are more defined by motherhood, I think that’s more than normal. If I were to die and only be remembered by my kids, then I’d be remembered by the thing I love most ♥️ There’s so much pressure to “go back to normal”, be yourself again, do the things you used to do, get back out in the world, etc. but the thing I love more than anything right now is being a mom so I’m going to embrace that. That said, this was the last of my nesting series so vlogs after this aren’t solely focused on this huge experience/accomplishment and are more fall coded 🍂

He calls Landen “brudder” (brother lol) and tries to show him his books and toys, it makes my whole flipping day. Thanks for checking in ♥️
They will be best friends forever 💞

And though that’s true, I’m the worst for mourning the loss of a stage instead of welcoming the excitement of the next. Ugh, it’s so hard. Enjoy it for as long as you have it!! ❤️❤️
Your doing a great job ❤
Not me pausing my Gilmore Girls binge to watch your video just to see you’re also rewatching it 🥰✨🫶🏾
The best fall/winter comfort show ✨

My son turns two years old next month! Unbelievable! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I love your vlogs so much!!! And what brand is your crimping iron??
Do you share the information about songs in your vlogs anywhere? I can't find that "better part of me" song to save my life but I love it!
I hope you are also planning on some autumn 🍁 themed videos! ❤
Already have a few filmed just working through my video assembly list editing wise 🫶🏼
Also, what is the song playing when you're doing the yoga stretch? I love the guy's voice!
Could you please tell me what black wrap you were using with baby boy? I had my baby 3 weeks ago and still looking for a good wrap
5 years later you will have a 5 & 7 years old. They wont need much , maybe going to school 😢 ohh life is very strange isnt it? Like you said all I asked from universe was this ❤ I hope I can have the courage to have another child as well❤ I am just not ready yet
❤❤❤

LOve it

How many years are between you and Kyra? And how did you hear about ritual vitamins?
How do handle of all of this with two little ones? It seems like in the blog it's just you and the newborn. I felt like with my second it was so much harder to slow down when I also had a toddler to take care of. I was very lucky that my mother in law would ofteb help so that I could escape to my room with my newborn and just relax with her...but the vast majority of the time I was juggling caring for my newborn and also giving my other child my attention as well. It was hard! 😢
Of course my husband would also help but unfortunately he has to work long hours.
My toddler goes to daycare 4 days a week, and that’s usually when I’m able to film more easily! I put him in daycare when I found out I was pregnant and so I could have a few uninterrupted hours through the week to work because I don’t have any regular help (my mother in law sadly passed in 2023, and my dad lives a decent road trip away) so when he is home, I’m on my own with two of them 90% of the time. Sometimes you have to pay for your village, it has definitely helped me for this newborn season!
@@KalynNicholson ohh ok that totally makes sense! I am sorry to hear about your mother in law.
🥰
What kind of carrier is that?
🤗💟👍
Not the series for me as i am not a mom and will never be a mom but glad others enjoy it ❤
Same, not my type of content.Patiently waiting for the new gyst series or autumn videos❤
I think the best way to “get back to yourself” after baby, is to remember what you loved before them. If all you ever think/talk/vlog about is motherhood, you will never get back to yourself because your entire identity is wrapped up in “mother”.
And no, getting back to work doesn’t count, because your job doesn’t define you either. What are your hobbies? What are your passions? What are things you did before that lit you up and made you happy that you did just because they were FUN? New mothers oscillate between baby duties, house cleaning, and work and then wonder why they feel anxious and unhappy. There’s more to life than your to-do list…. go have some fun!
While I totally agree with the idea that doing things you love and having fun helps you feel like yourself, in the context of this video I have to respectfully disagree.
This was filmed weeks 2-3 postpartum. Getting up to tidy the house a bit, putting on a cute outfit, writing, spending time outside, doing yoga, watching my comfort shows, reading lots and yes, even creating content again which happens to be work for me - those are me doing things I love to do but kept within the realm of my physical comfort/healing level. I think it’s a little unfair to expect someone only a few weeks after spending 10 months growing and then birthing and then keeping alive a whole new human to think/talk (or in my case, when sharing my day to day life, vlog) about anything else. Your brain chemistry quite literally changes to prioritize this new little being. For the first while, you’re trying to find a whole new groove and rhythm as your life changes to welcome this new person who is quite literally attached to you and depends on you to survive and thrive. If for a few weeks (or heck, months or even years) are more defined by motherhood, I think that’s more than normal. If I were to die and only be remembered by my kids, then I’d be remembered by the thing I love most ♥️
There’s so much pressure to “go back to normal”, be yourself again, do the things you used to do, get back out in the world, etc. but the thing I love more than anything right now is being a mom so I’m going to embrace that. That said, this was the last of my nesting series so vlogs after this aren’t solely focused on this huge experience/accomplishment and are more fall coded 🍂
