I had 3 kids before I turned 28. Fast forward, they’re 24, 21 & 19. I’m 46 & hubby is 50. We had a surprise baby girl 16 months ago. Never say never. 💓
I had 2 boys and thought we were done. Years later, when I was 43, I had my baby girl. She is the joy of my life and my best friend. I absolutely love my boys, but I am so happy I have her in my life. 💜
I had my first boy at 21 my second by at 23 and just had a baby girl right before my 40th bday a year ago...she has a total of 4 brothers 21, 20, 19 and 16....I always wanted more kids after my first 2 but wasn't with the right person...when I thought I was DONE she surprised us!
Abby, you are a PRECIOUS person. Donating those clothes was such a nice thing to do. That doesn't mean you won't ever have anymore... just means you will need new maternity clothes! 😊 You really blessed some mom's to be today!
My sweet baby girl is due on my 40th birthday! Yes you can have more, even in 15 years! 😂❤ I actually think, because of my age, I’m going to parent and appreciate this baby so differently than my other children. Years of wisdom and growth is going to make this so much more enjoyable and relaxing of a journey. I can’t wait!
i hope you stay in good health when they are older! my mom had me at 36 and i’m only 19 now and it makes me sad to see her health declining due to her age😔 i pray everyday for her
A coworker of mine had her third(?) kid right when everything got shutdown for Covid. She said it was the easiest kid to birth&raise because everyone was home already and was also old enough to be able to help out with raising the child. Good luck to you!
Yes 15 years from now. 😂 I'm 43, pregnant with my 3rd and it was planned. In my 20s I would have laughed hysterically at this option but i seriously wouldn't change this for anything... My kids are 16 and 13. Life is wild. Just be open to all the fun possibilities within it. You got this. ❤
@@graceclover8697but to say to a mom of multiple boys that she deserves her lil girl bestie one day is wrong like her boys are less than or she can't be bestie with them.
Is no one going to talk about how she realized that she really had a desire to have more children in that moment, in a truly raw and vulnerable way - and then tried to backtrack and be accommodating but it was clear what she realized. I hope she gets her heart's desire.❤
I had my kids from 17-20 and got my tubes tied. Im now 30 this year. My husband is 40 and were talking about working on fostering children in the next five years. Kids are magical.
My first 2 were so close together that I was convinced I wouldn't have any more. 5 years later I decided I wanted another one. Take everything 1 year at a time.
I held on to so much (all) of my son's baby clothes until he was almost 6. Found out an old coworker was having a boy and I knew they were struggling. Seeing her and her fiancee's face when they realized what I meant when I said I had A LOT..it meant a lot. I felt so good knowing they would have literally 3 years worth of clothes. And the universe thanked us when our neighbors moved and they gave us 3 huge bags of boy clothes that lasted us 3 years. Donating is wonderful.
A lot of people don’t take into consideration how difficult it is to have children that have years between them. Nobody wants to do the same activities and everyone is going to different schools! Raising a two year old and an 8 and 9 year old is so challenging! Have kids close together. Everyone will want to go on the same rides at the theme parks and eat the same food… etc. if you want more kids, girl just go for it!
Yup dont have kids but even just babysitting girls 4 years apart can be difficult. Older one wants to play games younger one cant understand or messes up. Younger one wants to run around and play and jump on things or knock something down older one is building. I can't give older one as much one-on-one time as I'd like to because I have to keep younger one from trying to seriously maim herself or break something in the house. I love them both but its a venn diagram for stuff they like to do and there is more in their individual circles than in the shared space.
This may be your reality but it’s not everyone’s. There’s a 5 year age gap between my first and second child and it’s been great. Don’t try to scare people out of waiting or having age gaps just because you didn’t like it. It makes people feel like they have limited options.
@@kaseykasket That’s wonderful. I have a brother that far apart too and we are pals. However that has nothing to do with my comment. Have you ever asked your mother if she faced challenges entertaining the both of you at the same time? I know for a fact my older brother was not partaking in the activities I wanted to do when I was a child 😂 I just remember playing with dolls and him asking me to hold a target while he shot his BB gun and I still have a bb in my thigh that never got removed because I kept the secret from mom that I accidentally got shot! Lol
Have more kids! 💕 the more the merrier. Children are blessings. It’s good to declutter too! You can have fewer/better maternity clothes next time around and like you said, other mamas can use what you donated!
We stopped at 2 and I felt sad about it for a decade. Even with the fighting and struggles that came with my 2, I still wanted more. It wasn't until I got a cuddly cat that I was finally at peace. I'm so very thankful we stopped at 2 kids (and I was only 21 when I had my second). If you stop now or have more later, that longing for another baby is hard to get over. Stay strong momma ❤❤
@@morganchapman2150that would be such a hard decision! But it sounds like you’ve got lots of love for your kids and will be happy and complete whether or not you go for another kid. Good luck with deciding! 🥰
I think donating them was a really nice thing to do doll! There are a lot of women who can’t afford many if any maternity clothes and they can be HARD to find in goodwill situations. I’m sure they will go to new mommas who can really use them.❤❤❤
You could have a kid in 15 years at 40 my mum is having another kid at 40 me and my sister are in our teens and now we are adding another one to our family
@laurenarkapaw how is that weird? I'm 39 having my first baby. Sometimes things happen that can prolong when a woman gets pregnant. Your comments are the kind of comments that are super hurtful to women who try and struggle with infertility, but then a miracle finally happens. You never know what life will bring. Watch your words carefully. Edit: the person who posted the comment has since deleted her comment.
@toribrown3982 Thank you for saying this! Illness and disability can play a huge role too. My mom had to be in remission for two years, and it was still so high risk that I was considered a miracle baby. I'm 28 and disabled, and very, very sick right now with multiple rare diseases. There's no way I could have a baby at the moment. That doesn't mean I've decided my entire future will not involve motherhood. I still have years to go before being a mom is off the table completely, so I truly appreciate you pointing out that THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, and there are MANY difficulties and barriers to pregnancy that can delay it until later years. I hope whomever needed to read our comments today, did. Because it's absolutely horrid to discredit having children at a later age.
@SylvieTress Thank you for reading my comment. I'm so happy your mom delivered a healthy and smart baby into this world. You seem like a wonderful young woman. You have many years to have children. So don't let society or anyone tell you differently. We can plan our lives, but sometimes our plans can derail. Yes, I'm older, having my first child, but I'm blessed beyond measure. I wish you nothing but happiness, joy, and good health so that when the time comes for you to have children, you can enjoy every minute! As a woman, it's disheartening to tell another woman she's too old to have a child or that it's weird to have a child at an older age. Children are a blessing regardless of when that woman chooses to become pregnant or when nature allows that woman to conceive. We don't know what struggles another person goes through to have a baby. So, women need to uplift and support each other in the journey to motherhood. I wish you love and happiness! ❤️
I can't imagine how hard it is getting rid of the clothes that have so many memories with you wearing them while pregnant. but thinking about other mothers is amazing❤
You had five babies at 35+? How?? I’m so bummed because I only have one and I’m almost 34. I feel like I don’t have enough time to have all the babies I want.
I had my first two 23 months apart! Two beautiful girls! We thought we were done but now I’m 24 weeks pregnant today with our baby boy and our girls will turn 5 and 7 right before he’s born!💕 God has a plan for all of us and you really never know what’s in store for your future!💕
Abby is so in touch with her emotions and let’s it flow whenever 😂 I love it ❤️ I have a friend like this she’s a crier and we all think it’s adorable 😂
I’ve had four babies (BGBG) and I’m getting rid of my youngest B and G clothes now as they outgrown them. Two kids have worn all the clothes so they’ve definitely had their wear out of them. 😂 But it’s hard giving it away because it’s acknowledging the end of a chapter that was filled with so much joy. I gave away all my maternity clothes after my last daughter was born and I’m glad another mama can get use out of the clothes. It was easier donating those than it was the baby clothes.
I love how comforting Matt was about Abby giving away her maternity clothes. He's so loving discussing it with me. And the most important is that Matt is open to another baby in a few years. I understand Matt's view about experiencing them both again and the hardship it brought with 2 under 2 but I love it when Matt says we can still birth another again because they are still so young at 25. Enjoy Gtiffin and Auggie. Time will fly so soon and you don't realize they're attending school already.
Its actually.. I just saw your short that you were donating your clothes with such a joy and commitment but then I just saw this side of doing it as well, sometimes I think I make things such a big deal but I guess its because everything has different perspectives
We has our first daughter at 18, 2nd daughter at 22, twin girls at 27 and our boy at 29. I still feel times that I should've had more because I had the loveliest time with the others ❤ It's great watching them grow too ❤
At least you started young. You can always change your mind in a few years and still be young enough to have more if you want. ❤ just enjoy the babies you have now and take it one year at a time.
I had 2 by the time I was 23 then didn’t have another til 35 then 1 more at 40 and whoops 1 more last year at 43 You when time of you change your mind but so much better to have them when your younger you have longer with them ❤
My mom had 2 kids and then 12 years later had 2 more! She had my sister and I very young and decided down the road to have more. Anything is possible :)
Even I don’t think I have realised how fast time has gone past. It feels like yesterday running round the house screaming in joy “Matt and Abby are pregnant!” Or “Matt and Abby are pregnant again!!” I love you guys to pieces and your senses of humours are on top- and that’s surprising for parents! 😂 honestly, I don’t know what auggie and griffin did to deserve such amazing parents. Love u guys xxx
Children are a blessing from God. Have as many as he'll give you. No matter the age you have them, you will love every minute with them. I have 12 (our baby Isaiah is in Heaven, he was lost at 15 weeks gestation) and pregnant with number 13. We are so thrilled and blessed. God bless you all
You are the absolute sweetest for thinking of other moms who might need them... You're only 25! It seems from his video you guys aren't done having kids and if or when you do get pregnant again you can go SHOPPING ❤
It feels bittersweet. Count your blessings and live life. You have two healthy boys. I have two boys as well and I always wanted 3 or 4 kids but I am content with the two and life is great!!! 😊
My husband and I have 10 children. I remember walking through this stage. My advice is have more!! Buy less stuff that doesn’t mean anything and spend it on people which means everything. ❤️
Well that many kids is just not realistic for everyone. I’m glad it worked for you guys, but i don’t think that most people would want that many children. Making the decision for "one more" is nothing one should easily say something along the lines of "just make one more" to. Kids should have a good life with enough love and attention from both parents (which gets harder with more kids, not impossible but definitely harder) and they need enough financial stability… not everyone can afford that. Also, especially the attention part, is a huge sacrifice from both parents, you can’t just say "not right now I need a few minutes" because with that many kids you have to spend nearly every minute with one of them to give them what they need. When you want to go out? Well find a babysitter that is ready for that challenge because always having to ask the "oldest" is making them co parents wich can be pretty unhealthy… Having that many children while only being two parents is definitely just something for a smaller minor of people and has to be super thought out. If you don’t think you want or can afford making all those sacrifices please just consider learning to be content with the kids you have instead of forcing more.. it’s hard, especially when you’re still in the little baby phase… but for some people stopping is definitely a better route.
You know immediately when you're done. I had my 3rd and in my head I was DONE but my heart knew I wasn't. After my 4th I was SO DONE and it was so easy.
To all of y’all making rude comments about her crying: do you not understand the concept of having high emotions? Some people- me included- just start crying when they get a flood of emotions. Happy, sad, angry, frustrated…our body’s first reaction to any high emotions is tears. It’s like our tear ducts are directly connected to the emotional part of our brain. And a lot of us are likely to cry whether we’re getting a puppy, lost/gave away something sentimental, or are in a fight with our significant other. All 3 are completely different situations yet the outcome is the same- tears. It’s not being dramatic or whiny or whatever. It’s just how our bodies work. It’s just how our brains respond to high emotions. It can get really frustrating to be someone who basically cries at almost anything. Having an already high emotional day means the smallest things can make us cry and that is also frustrating because it’s more likely going to cause multiple crying sessions. So to have people hating on you for it doesn’t feel that great. And guess what? Because that causes a flood of negative emotions, it might make us cry too. So can we just work on having some compassion, empathy, and understanding for others rather than judge them for something they can’t control?
Aww, you guys are adorable! Whether you stop having kids after 2 or 10, you will still grieve when it’s over. It’s up to you to decide how many kids you realistically want.
Aaah...I get how you felt! I had three kids very close together. I did long for the 3rd child...it was weird having a boy and a girl but really wanted the third!! After that 3rd one, that was it!❤😊 Finished! Look at it like you said you gave to someone who could use them now! You can buy new ones too later down the road!!!
I was done at 6 children here i am sat with baby no 7 growing in my tummy. I dont know i love just being a mum and having my children around me. I litetally love and breathe my life for them. ❤
I always donated my maternity clothes afterwards. Styles change, bodies change. I wanted someone to be able to use them right away, I could always find more down the road.
You can wait to have more babies. Like matt said you have plenty of time. I think it's so sweet of you to donate maternity clothing to those who need it. My daughter has gotten used maternity clothing due to donations just like yours and we are all so grateful for that. You did a good thing Abby.
Every part of motherhood is bittersweet. You love watching them grow bigger and age into new milestones because it is part of what makes you proud. If they learn to walk and talk early- you love their success and excellence but the memories of their smallness of their infancy behind you is what will simultaneously break your heart. I physically cannot have more kids than my son and daughter. I was already 31 when I was pregnant with my son and I thought I would never be a mom. If I were younger and in different circumstances, I would have loved more babies, but it’s a harder commitment for my situation. It’s so difficult having the stamina for the crying, sleep deprivation and the tantrums without breaking apart while they’re developing sense of autonomy and self. I do love my kids but the headaches during the challenging parts reminds me to take on what I can juggle. I’m just going to accept that I got two beautiful babies and run with my gratitude for what I managed to get. Having a new baby is always a new and challenging adjustment, but I kinda want to keep my stride while I finally have found my balance. I find it helpful when I miss their younger years that it’s much easier to not be sad when I begin to focus on how much easier and fun everything will be when we can take family vacation and not need babysitters- we can take our kids with us and have a fun time out all together as a family. I focus on everything I have to look forward to and then I don’t miss the past at the same time.
after the first video, I thought I was the only one who would have a hard time getting rid of maternity clothes 😂 happy you guys posted both sides of the video
So many moms feel this. So many of my friends keep going back n forth about wanting to rest from pregnancy n also wanting to get pregnant again. A word of comfort goes a long way.
I just got rid of all our baby clothes and felt all the feels. Hugs. Mama!
It’s always hard to give away the baby clothes, especially when they had worn them so much 😢
I did that… just found out baby number 3 is on the way 😂😂
I'm keeping all mine for when my kids have kids like what my mil did for my husband and his sisters
My mama made a blanket out of our baby clothes@@NicoleRubyAnn
I don't think I'll ever be able to do that 😭 I can't even stand to change their closets when they need to size up!
“Say yes for mommy “ the most relatable line 😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing.😂
😂😂😂😂
That was so gd cute 😂
I had 3 kids before I turned 28. Fast forward, they’re 24, 21 & 19. I’m 46 & hubby is 50. We had a surprise baby girl 16 months ago.
Never say never. 💓
A surprise 😂😂 that is some surprise, God bless yall with eternal youth and strength, amen💜🙏🏾
I had 5 before I turned 28. A 5 year old, a 4 year old twin 2 year olds and a newborn. Great times!

I had 2 boys and thought we were done. Years later, when I was 43, I had my baby girl. She is the joy of my life and my best friend. I absolutely love my boys, but I am so happy I have her in my life. 💜
I had my older son at 28 & younger son at 32 and finally my daughter at 45 last April. Love hearing these stories 🧑🏻🧑🏻👧🏻
This is my family. I am the youngest by 10 years, I wasn’t planned though

wow
I’m 27 weeks pregnant with my third boy now! I will be 38 in a couple of weeks!🥰
Say Yes for Mommy. Haha. These two are precious to watch and listen to. I just love them and their new family.
Abby, you are a PRECIOUS person. Donating those clothes was such a nice thing to do. That doesn't mean you won't ever have anymore... just means you will need new maternity clothes! 😊 You really blessed some mom's to be today!

We has our first daughter at 18, 2nd daughter at 22, twin girls at 27 and our boy at 29. I still feel times that I should've had more because I had the loveliest time with the others ❤ It's great watching them grow too ❤
I felt the same way having my first at 34! Now my second will be born a week before my 38th birthday. You got this mama.
At least you started young. You can always change your mind in a few years and still be young enough to have more if you want. ❤ just enjoy the babies you have now and take it one year at a time.
I had 2 by the time I was 23 then didn’t have another til 35 then 1 more at 40 and whoops 1 more last year at 43
You when time of you change your mind but so much better to have them when your younger you have longer with them ❤
My mom had 2 kids and then 12 years later had 2 more! She had my sister and I very young and decided down the road to have more. Anything is possible :)
"say yes for mommy!" That's how I feel with two boys 😂
Even I don’t think I have realised how fast time has gone past. It feels like yesterday running round the house screaming in joy “Matt and Abby are pregnant!” Or “Matt and Abby are pregnant again!!” I love you guys to pieces and your senses of humours are on top- and that’s surprising for parents! 😂 honestly, I don’t know what auggie and griffin did to deserve such amazing parents. Love u guys xxx
Children are a blessing from God. Have as many as he'll give you. No matter the age you have them, you will love every minute with them. I have 12 (our baby Isaiah is in Heaven, he was lost at 15 weeks gestation) and pregnant with number 13. We are so thrilled and blessed. God bless you all
My kids are 15 years apart and its perfect. My daughter is 19 and my son is 4. One in college and one in preschool lol🤷♀️
Haha, this is so accurate! I really want to throw it all out but need to wait until we get through the last pregnancy.
My heart. I bawl everytime I get rid of clothes
You are the absolute sweetest for thinking of other moms who might need them... You're only 25! It seems from his video you guys aren't done having kids and if or when you do get pregnant again you can go SHOPPING ❤
My mom had her first kid at 20 and had her last kid (for now) at 37, youve got so much time!
It feels bittersweet. Count your blessings and live life. You have two healthy boys.
I have two boys as well and I always wanted 3 or 4 kids but I am content with the two and life is great!!! 😊
Omg 😂” say yes for mommy!”
You deserve new maternity clothes Abbey if/when the time comes. 😊
I was 40 and had twins…y’all have a long time to parents whenever you choose.
She’s precious! Hope you get that sweet 2nd child when it’s time. ❤️
She is so sweet she deserves to have all she wants. She is amazing
I had my kids at 33 and 37 years old. You have lots of time.
My husband and I have 10 children. I remember walking through this stage. My advice is have more!! Buy less stuff that doesn’t mean anything and spend it on people which means everything. ❤️
Well that many kids is just not realistic for everyone.
I’m glad it worked for you guys, but i don’t think that most people would want that many children.
Making the decision for "one more" is nothing one should easily say something along the lines of "just make one more" to.
Kids should have a good life with enough love and attention from both parents (which gets harder with more kids, not impossible but definitely harder) and they need enough financial stability… not everyone can afford that.
Also, especially the attention part, is a huge sacrifice from both parents, you can’t just say "not right now I need a few minutes" because with that many kids you have to spend nearly every minute with one of them to give them what they need.
When you want to go out? Well find a babysitter that is ready for that challenge because always having to ask the "oldest" is making them co parents wich can be pretty unhealthy…
Having that many children while only being two parents is definitely just something for a smaller minor of people and has to be super thought out.
If you don’t think you want or can afford making all those sacrifices please just consider learning to be content with the kids you have instead of forcing more.. it’s hard, especially when you’re still in the little baby phase… but for some people stopping is definitely a better route.
❤❤❤❤❤
She wants Auggie to say yes for mommy! So cute and funny!😂❤️
August is such A CUTE
You know immediately when you're done. I had my 3rd and in my head I was DONE but my heart knew I wasn't. After my 4th I was SO DONE and it was so easy.
YOU GO ABBY !!!!! It’s tough to throw things away lol especially for me my closet is full of clothes that don’t fit
My husband and I are in the "should we or should we not have another kiddo." So far we have been on opposite sides of this at different times. 😂
I had my first kid at 19 and my last at 38 so you have many more years to decide if you want more 🫶
QUILTS!, FOLKS 😂❤ love you guys
I didn't have my first baby until I was 32, and I had my 2nd baby when I was 36. You have so much time to decide if you want to have more kids!
To all of y’all making rude comments about her crying: do you not understand the concept of having high emotions? Some people- me included- just start crying when they get a flood of emotions. Happy, sad, angry, frustrated…our body’s first reaction to any high emotions is tears. It’s like our tear ducts are directly connected to the emotional part of our brain. And a lot of us are likely to cry whether we’re getting a puppy, lost/gave away something sentimental, or are in a fight with our significant other. All 3 are completely different situations yet the outcome is the same- tears.
It’s not being dramatic or whiny or whatever. It’s just how our bodies work. It’s just how our brains respond to high emotions. It can get really frustrating to be someone who basically cries at almost anything. Having an already high emotional day means the smallest things can make us cry and that is also frustrating because it’s more likely going to cause multiple crying sessions. So to have people hating on you for it doesn’t feel that great. And guess what? Because that causes a flood of negative emotions, it might make us cry too. So can we just work on having some compassion, empathy, and understanding for others rather than judge them for something they can’t control?
Aww, you guys are adorable! Whether you stop having kids after 2 or 10, you will still grieve when it’s over. It’s up to you to decide how many kids you realistically want.
Every reel on my explore tab always has Abby crying for one reason or another, I’m not the biggest follower but I just want to give her a hug x
Im so sure you will have a daughter one day ❤️
It’s okay, if you have more babies you can get some new maternity clothes and you’ll be able to donate those to more mamas after your use too!
Oh bless ❤
All the mom hugs! My kids are now 29, 26, and 20. It will be ok!!
My kids are 14.5 years apart... It's such a beautiful bond they have 🥺
My younger brothers name is Auggie and it lights up my day when I hear you say it because if reminds me of how my mom used to say it ❤❤
Awwww Abby! You did a good thing by donating to another mom in need. It’s definitely an emotional thing though! Hugs!! ❤
Aaah...I get how you felt! I had three kids very close together. I did long for the 3rd child...it was weird having a boy and a girl but really wanted the third!! After that 3rd one, that was it!❤😊 Finished! Look at it like you said you gave to someone who could use them now! You can buy new ones too later down the road!!!
My mom had me when she was 38, turning 39. So 15 years down the road is possible!
I was done at 6 children here i am sat with baby no 7 growing in my tummy. I dont know i love just being a mum and having my children around me. I litetally love and breathe my life for them. ❤
I want to hug and cry with you
I definitely feel like you guys have a girl out there, somewhere and just waiting for the right time. ❤
Abby I love your sweet little heart ❤️ you are just pure good babygirl! 💋
I was amazed at your happy attitude while donating your clothes and then I see this! Of course you would have a moment of sadness!
I always donated my maternity clothes afterwards. Styles change, bodies change. I wanted someone to be able to use them right away, I could always find more down the road.
This is so wholesome
That’s so cute I love how she talks to her kids
Siblings are the best gift you can give your kids 😍😍
This hit hard. I know the feeling, being unsure if you're done. So relatable
It’s ok my mum had me at 37 stay fit and you mind and body stays young don’t let age stress you out you guys are still so young
Say yes for mommy got me dead.... Maybe you should have kept the clothes hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Nice performance.
You never age you look even more and kore beautiful
Maternity clothes are always needed….good for her
You can wait to have more babies. Like matt said you have plenty of time. I think it's so sweet of you to donate maternity clothing to those who need it. My daughter has gotten used maternity clothing due to donations just like yours and we are all so grateful for that. You did a good thing Abby.
Every part of motherhood is bittersweet. You love watching them grow bigger and age into new milestones because it is part of what makes you proud. If they learn to walk and talk early- you love their success and excellence but the memories of their smallness of their infancy behind you is what will simultaneously break your heart. I physically cannot have more kids than my son and daughter. I was already 31 when I was pregnant with my son and I thought I would never be a mom. If I were younger and in different circumstances, I would have loved more babies, but it’s a harder commitment for my situation. It’s so difficult having the stamina for the crying, sleep deprivation and the tantrums without breaking apart while they’re developing sense of autonomy and self. I do love my kids but the headaches during the challenging parts reminds me to take on what I can juggle. I’m just going to accept that I got two beautiful babies and run with my gratitude for what I managed to get. Having a new baby is always a new and challenging adjustment, but I kinda want to keep my stride while I finally have found my balance. I find it helpful when I miss their younger years that it’s much easier to not be sad when I begin to focus on how much easier and fun everything will be when we can take family vacation and not need babysitters- we can take our kids with us and have a fun time out all together as a family. I focus on everything I have to look forward to and then I don’t miss the past at the same time.
after the first video, I thought I was the only one who would have a hard time getting rid of maternity clothes 😂 happy you guys posted both sides of the video
Oh come on Matt! You gotta give Abby that girl! Maybe 5yrs from now?
So many moms feel this. So many of my friends keep going back n forth about wanting to rest from pregnancy n also wanting to get pregnant again. A word of comfort goes a long way.
Holding a tub of ice cream… this is so me 😂
