There is more than one type of counseling. We often think of it as "rescue" therapy, when we're really really struggling and have no other option. But there's also preventative, where you are currently functioning well but you know that some things could easily trigger you into a hard space. This helps you work on things while you're still functioning ok, to prevent you from getting triggered as hard into a really hard time. I'm still learning this.
I'm exactly the same when it comes to colors! I've always been drawn to calming neutral colors. When you love neutral color palettes, decorating your home is so much easier. I know whatever I buy will never clash with what I already have. I find it absolutely perfect for our home.
You officially touched on all my Autism traits in this video and the EXACT thought process I have when answering the same questions. Why do I like neutral colors? Because my eyes can't handle bright colors. Why do I not wear makeup? Because my sensory issues cannot stand the feeling of having anything on my skin! Love you hear other people think the same way!
I got some folding of the laundry done too while watching your video! I really enjoy your content & as a fellow Christian mom I relate to your ways of raising children to follow Christ. Thank you for being so bold in sharing your faith!
18 months between BIRTHS is usually the recommendation I've heard. Attempting a VBAC with my 2nd and kiddos will be exactly 2 years apart at time of birth. ❤❤
I'm wishing you well mama, and praying you get this experience. I just had a vbac with my second last October and it really helped redeem my first birth experience.
I'm hoping for a VBAC too! My daughter is currently 14 months and hope to fall pregnant this year (if its in the Lords will for us) 🥺 Truly do pray it works out okay!
Actually three years is ideal between any kind of birth. Not saying it’s bad otherwise but three is optimal for the replenishing of the mothers minerals etc and for the appropriate time given to the development of the baby/toddler
I had very traumatic first delivery. 10 minutes before my daughter was born, i looked through the window of the hospital, it was snowing, and i felt peace. I thought, that's it, I'm going to die, but it's okay. I'm okay. With my boy, again, all natural, it was horrible, but quicker, just three hour of labor. Now, I'm expecting my third, and I'm so scared 😭 sorry for the long post. All the best ♥️
I appreciate your taking the time to answer these questions. I can relate on not being ready to close the chapter on the pregnancy and new baby areas of life. I have been going back and forth and found some comfort in hearing you express your thoughts on that subject. So, thank you!
I somehow found you on UA-cam. I am struggling alot with motherhood and enjoying the little things, as well as my relationship with the Lord. Watching you or even having your channel on in the background during the day brings me more peace than you could ever know. Thank you so much. You have brought my relationship with the Lord closer. I pray to him for patience and when I watch your videos I get that and am able to be present with my three babies.
Traveling with kids is just awesome!!! Even when they are really little because even though they won't remember, you will! And it will be a part of them, of their personality and experiences! We traveled as a family for the first time when our oldest was 6 months old and we never stop doing it, now with 4 kids 8 and under and expecting #5! It's truly a blessing! Try it and you'll love it ;)
You and I are quite the same in school. No friends and I was bullied badly at school and at home which is why I'm 58 and still single. It's hard, lonely, but now I've grown to study and serve the Lord. He has gotten me through so much.
I just had a vbac! The recommendation is 18 months between births. My baby’s are 21 months apart. Also I’m almost 2 years out from my csection and still have no feeling there. And most of the people I know who’s had one doesn’t have feeling there either.
I never necessarily did sleep training. I honestly just prayed that the Most High Yah( God) gives my daughter a peaceful rest at night and then one night my husband and I prayed that she’d sleep through the whole night & our prayers were answered
I love your Q and A sessions ☺️ my best friend had a v-bac at home, it was a water birth. She had an amazing redemptive experience. I really hope you do too when the time comes ❤️ By the way hello from Ontario :)
I would never chastise you for only wearing/decorating in neutral colors; if that’s what you like than you be you. Just as a note though you will probably find as the kids grow older they often find their own style which quite often will be very different than your style. You might have to get used to having young ones who insist on wearing lime green, bright neon pink and day glow purple. To this day my daughters won’t wear pastel’s because that is what I dressed them in growing up as well as how I decorated their rooms, lol!
Same I used to care so much about how I look and now I don’t bother putting make up on I just do my hair and use some brow gel a blush and that’s my everyday.
I love your neutrals! I just hate neutrals on me. 😂 I do love them in home decor though, I find it calming, so I find your house calming. I just like my clothes in jewel tones, I feel less washed out in those colours. 🙂
I loooove trift haul/ furniture shopping and reno/interior design/gardening and even decluttering videos. So if you continue youtubing, you can make these sort of videos for me 😀 I am searching inspiration what to do with my home. And you find so awsome stuff from trift stores, in Estonia we have very boring shops. I totally get that you do not want to vlog your children so much - I do not have social media, even if I had I still would not post them (so strangers do not know how cute they are 😀).
Have you played Tsuro? It's a very simple game because it doesn't require reading. But it does involve some strategy. Also it can be played with up to 8 people. The game box says age 8+ but it seems like younger kids could probably understand it.
Have you ever heard of the Byron Bay Australian Murfers(mums who surf)? Their aesthetic is the same. They say they do it because fabric dye is toxic tho. Haha.
I’ve always loved the color soft gray and beige and my reason was always because my clothes always go together and I never have to spend time matching 🤣 Grab a pair of jeans or leggings and a neutral t-shirt and BAM outfit done ready to go 😂
would you be comfortable discussing birth control between pregnancies? also, as someone who suffers with depression and anxiety, I'm terrified that a pregnancy could affect me negatively. I want children so badly. I turn to the Lord as much as possible but sometimes I feel like I can't get an answer. How would you deal with this sort of thing? I love your videos, Delilah! I hope you can continue to make them as your family grows, and are able to respect the children's privacy. God Bless ❤
As someone who's been trying to figure out their 'aesthetic', color palette, et cetera, for the longest time now, I've got to say watching your channel and seeing the way you utilise neutrals and beige throughout your home has really made me fall in love with softer and neutral interiors and color palettes :) It's not for everyone, but I find your whole aesthetic so warm and pretty! Not boring at all lol
For me, it was also really helpful to realize that my color preference and aesthetic can be a little different between what I'd wear and what I'd use on my home! You can have more than one set of preferences for different things.
It's such a tough spot... All the youtube mama's that I love, share values with, relate to are all pulling back their "family life" and I would probably be doing the same thing... But it's SUCH an encouragement to watch those nitty gritty videos and feel the solidarity.
"Don't you find all beige boring" Ah, yes, random stranger, you're right, I do find beige boring, which is why I surround myself with that colour in my home and clothing style. Seriously doubt that people really question this. They just want to get their own opinion in about how you're somehow boring or wrong, and it's rude imo. I love maximalist, eclectic styles with lots of bold colours in my own home and also with the clothes I choose to wear, and I think your neutral style is so beautiful, calming, serene, I seriously love it. And even if I didn't, well, I can do it differently in my own life so why even care? Why comment on someone's else's likes and dislikes in a rude way? If you don't like all neutrals, great, don't do it in your own spaces then. I don't do it in my spaces and I think yours fits you so well and it makes me happy to see when you share great thrift finds that you're excited about, or your reno updates. Sorry, this turned into a bit of a rant, but I really don't like this tendency online that we feel entitled to insert our opinion on everything creators share online even their own personal tastes.
i personally completely align with you "aesthetic" and the way you style yourself amd your home. I find bright colors too chaotic and prefer more muted tones. this prefference really differentiated me from my family and i felt really isolated. when i came across your channel it really lit a spark in my heart because i stopped feeling so alone. it has been really good to know that is okay to like different things and being different from my family is not a bad thing.
same! I strive to have a very neutral home, my partner wants his office very dark, so I can't wait for when we can get a big appartment, were he can have a dark office, I will have a cute and brighr art/office room, and the rest of the appartment is gonna be very neutral hahah my room is gonna be bright because it really inspires me to paint and I love painting colorful art, but the rest of the apartment would be too much
People call you boring? And grandma? Firstly, that’s just mean. But how boring would this world be if we were all the same and were all interested in the same things. We should celebrate people that know who they are and know what they like. New to your channel, thanks for being you! I will keep watching.
My first 4 children were all completely natural vaginal births. My 5th child was a traumatic emergency c-section and honestly....the emotional trauma was way worse than the physical trauma. I'm ready to get pregnant again with baby #6 and hopefully I get to see my birthing experience redeemed!! And my scar is numb in a weird way, I can feel below the scar but not above lol
Delilah, I have so admired your wisdom and pure faith, whenever I think of the Proverbs 31 woman, you come to mind ✨️ Your channel has been such a huge blessing in my life, especially being a young mom myself to 4 and 2 year old girls. It always feels like sitting and chatting with a friend 😭
Hi Delilah! I'm so sorry to hear that you're going to let down UA-cam during the time.. this is my favourite channel so far in all the community of UA-cam. PD: I love your personality and the work you do here is beautiful, you have to be so proud of yourself. Lots of love from Spain ❤️✨
I love your aesthetic. The world is so busy, having neutral colours around you helps keep things calm. I love colour but I love to see it more in its natural environment. You keep being you ✌🏼🕊
Have you heard of the channel Farmhouse on Boone? She has a youtube channel and podcast, and she shares about life/house renos/motherhood etc but I really know very little about her 7 kid’s personal lives. Just thought she might be someone you could check her out if you’re thinking of pivoting your approach
My first baby was a csection and I have had two successful vaginal births since. I got pregnant with my 2nd and 3rd at 13 months postpartum. I am a nursing student now and when I saw the recommendation for a successful vbac was to wait 18 months to conceive I was shocked 😅 seeing as my kids were both born 22 months after their previous sibling. I also completely agree with you. I do not know if I will ever feel "done" having children. I don't think I love anything more than giving birth and experiencing those first days of a newborn, the indescribable feeling of being your babies life line and whole world ultimately.
I love how you educate and use religion as a way for comfort. I was raised catholic and my parents use religion as a way to scare and punish me instead of a way for comfort and loving.
You are living my dream - the life you live is what I hope and pray to have in a few years. Messy, real life and all. Thank you for sharing what you do with us, and thank you for keeping it real. Much love❤️
I really appreciate you prioritizing your kids in this way. You're an awesome UA-cam personality and honestly the only vlogs I watch. You being so real and being so forward with your faith and values is really relatable. Keep up the good work as long as you want! We'll support you either way.
I had a C-section for my first because she was breech, and then my son was born 5 years later in a water birth! So it is possible :) and it was an amazing experience :) Also, I love colours but I also really like your style and home, it’s very calming and lovely.
Totally not in the same vein as your content but I watched emma chamberlain's podcast talking about a youtuber's life span and how having UA-cam as a career is unsustainable because of how demanding it can be. Also that vloggers/youtubers don't last on this platform longer than 2/3 years. I don't have the same amount of growth by any means but I'm also a youtuber and I can see how much work and effort goes into making a youtube video compared to making a tiktok or posting on Instagram. Even though it's sad to see my favorite UA-camrs leave, I'm so understanding now.
making time to spend with the Lord is so important, thank you for speaking on that subject. i used to be afraid to set aside time to read the bible and pray, because i was afraid of just- doing it grudgingly out of habit? but the Lord is so wonderful: in His design, the simple act of obedience, diligently making time for him even if we don’t *feel* like it... brings us even closer to Him. love you delilah + fam!!
I feel like you should look into the board game Wingspan! Not only is it so aesthetically pleasing to look at when you play, but it’s one of those board games where you have to think a lot and put together strategies to win. I think you’d love it!
Was so excited about the sneak peak at the beginning of this video to see that you painted the bulkhead in the kitchen, looks good! If like Catan and Ticket to ride you should try Carcassone, there is also a kids version as well.
It's takes years to get feeling back after nerve damage so don't lose hope yet! I've had success gaining feeling around scars by soaking in hot springs that have a lot of minerals.
Hey Delilah!! Obviously this is a decision to make with your OB but I just wanted to tell you that I had a C-Section with my first and got pregnant with my second at 7 months pp. So, they were 16 months apart and I successfully had a VBAC. While I know not everyone is like this, I just thought it would be helpful to share ❤️
You’ve taught me so much and given me an attitude/lifestyle to emulate. Even when you leave UA-cam, I will go back and watch your old videos repeatedly! 💛
Me: I will wake up before everybody to start a day good (about 5am) My kid: Oh, mommy woke up, time to wake up 😆 Every single time. 4am is too extreme for me.
Delilah, every week your videos are something I look forward to soo so much. I love how authentic and real they are and always imagine how it would be if I had children and a family now like you do instead of sitting at university studying. I admire you and love your work very much. Thank you thank you thank you. Greetings from Berlin! Clara :))
Hi Delilah 👋 i became a mum for the first time in September last year, and I found your videos towards the end of my pregnancy. I have really connected with your videos and they've kept me company when I'm up in the night eating lots of toast after a night feed! Thank you for your content!
Watching Delilah fold laundry while I’m doing laundry, makes me feel like I have a friend by my side. I have 2 kids so far and I thought I was done but now I’m just feeling very nostalgic to think no more kids for me 🤷🏻♀️
Well said Delilah about colour choices, I had a difficult labour with my 4th baby, i had 3 natural deliveries with just gas and air but with my 4th son i was induced a week early and everything was progressing and they thought i was about to deliver when my baby’s heart rate dropped and i had to be rushed into an emergency c-section and when my son was delivered i was haemorrhaging and lost 3litres of blood i had torn my womb, i nearly had to have a hysterectomy but luckily they managed to stop the bleeding a stitch me up but it took at least 6months recovering i was poorly but my son is perfect and so glad we are living where we could of both died. Lots of love to you and your gorgeous children. 💕
My C-section scar is still numb after 4 years and I’ve just gotten used to that feeling of it being that way. I’m getting induced on Sunday with my 2nd baby and am hoping for a VBAC! I’m hoping and praying that I can achieve a vaginal birth, and keep watching your videos of Eloise and Theo being born to help me prepare for something like that ☺️
I'm glad you had peace after your birth. But It's totally ok to feel comfort in the lord and seek counseling, and it's a beneficial tool to use in addition to your relationship with God.
Hi Delilla, it is so thrilled when I watched this video of yours. Actually I have followed you since 3 years ago, the moment of my first pregnancy. But just recently I started to watch more of your videos. I think I have watched definitely over half part of your channel. 😂Sometimes, just like this one, it hit me. And I felt so similar as you do, so emotional as well. So grateful there are person like you so sharing and hardworking. It encourages so much on me. I am a mom of two and I am looking after them and homeschooling and doing home makeover. But of course I have so much to catch on compared with you and other great UA-camr moms. Just want to tell it is so encouraging and comforting thing to view your channel in my life. 😊
As im being busy making babyroom ready, i just love to hear this kind of video's of you. Makes me so chill and i love binging youre video's eversince im pregnant of nr 3. I reconice so much! Much love from Holland🎉
We’ve done a few weeks in Europe with kids. Italy, France then Switzerland. It was amazing! I had an almost 4 year old and a 22 month old. The pace is a little slower and we had more down days. We also flew from Australia so the flights are soooo long. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Hey I had a very very traumatic 1st pregnancy if I had the opportunity I would have loved to have gone through a process with a professional. I'm 30 weeks pregnant currently and every time I go to the Dr I get tens, if there's anything like heart burn or cramps I get stressed out and scared... I only realised how traumatic it was the moment I got pregnant... Praying for you that God will make sure the your next little one comes with no trauma no placenta previa or vasa previa or even placenta agrita. May your mom journey be blessed 💕 Marista here
Does she have friends? I can't imagine, that she can find time for a friend. I don't have friends myself. To be honest because I never really feel connected to someone. And I never have time to just spend it with someone "for nothing" 🤷🏻♀️
You’re lucky you’re numb. After my 1st emergency c section I had so much nerve pain for over 4 years until my 2nd emergency c section I think helped correct whatever they did wrong lol.
Never noticed you didn’t wear makeup, u have beautiful skin. I’m someone who doesn’t wear any makeup at all I just focus more on my skincare which makes me feel great!
I am the same. I just cannot stand makeup, I hate how it feels on my face. I have a pretty tricky skin, having PCOS with high levels of male hormones and had to learn alot when it came to skincare, diet&lifestyle to even make it look ok. I'd rather spend my money&time on skincare and be able to just feel great and confident without makeup.
I feel like one of the most damaging mindsets that comes out of Christianity is the idea that going to therapy/counseling is a sign of weakness in your faith. It would have been really awesome to hear you acknowledge that receiving help for mental health doesn't make you any less close to god verse perpetuating the idea that getting help means you're not as strong in your faith. I strongly assume this wasn't your intention and Im happy to hear you're doing well but this is a perspective that I unfortunately was taught in Christianity growing up because of hearing things like what you shared in this video.

I LOVE neutral colors. I absolutely love your style....LOVE IT!!!
You're colour palette is beautiful and calming! Don't let anyone even try to get you down girl!
I 100% agree about memorizing scripture starting at a young age. Almost 15yrs later I still remember verses I learned when I was your kiddos age ❤️
I’m not a parent but you talk about so many things that school should teach, this channel is a great education and aesthetic experience!
There is more than one type of counseling. We often think of it as "rescue" therapy, when we're really really struggling and have no other option.

@Mandi Jones I’m 100% the same

I really enjoy watching your videos while my baby naps, it’s very restful for me! Thank you for making videos. (Love your sweater as well ☺️)

I’ve had three vbacs, all three at home (HBAC) And highly recommend. ❤️ I loved my births!!
Ok, where is that lamp from?!? Praying it is not thrifted, I love it!!
I am pretty sure they got it at a antique shop! I saw it on her instagram :)
Same I used to care so much about how I look and now I don’t bother putting make up on I just do my hair and use some brow gel a blush and that’s my everyday.
Girl, I LOVE beige
I love your neutrals! I just hate neutrals on me. 😂 I do love them in home decor though, I find it calming, so I find your house calming. I just like my clothes in jewel tones, I feel less washed out in those colours. 🙂

18 months between births, not from birth to conception 💜 about to have a vbac over here, planning a water birth 😊
These are my favorite types o videos :)
I love your style!! And you use a lot of colours, like white, read, brown, kupfer...natural colours 😘
Did you purposely match your mug to your sweater/pants colour?? Love it haha
Have you ever heard of the Byron Bay Australian Murfers(mums who surf)? Their aesthetic is the same. They say they do it because fabric dye is toxic tho. Haha.
If you made a podcast I'd listen to it
I’ve always loved the color soft gray and beige and my reason was always because my clothes always go together and I never have to spend time matching 🤣 Grab a pair of jeans or leggings and a neutral t-shirt and BAM outfit done ready to go 😂
How do you do memory verses? Do you pick the verses, or do you have something that you go by? Love the idea. I need to try it with my three year old.
I love these types of videos, if you are really trying to do fewer vlogs I'd be happy to just watch these laundry chats
would you be comfortable discussing birth control between pregnancies? also, as someone who suffers with depression and anxiety, I'm terrified that a pregnancy could affect me negatively. I want children so badly. I turn to the Lord as much as possible but sometimes I feel like I can't get an answer. How would you deal with this sort of thing? I love your videos, Delilah!

I have that sweater
You gravitate towards the colors you like 🤷🏻♀️

I know how you feel and I know how they feel! Don’t mean to spam Delilah but I occasionally make some videos that shows very basic mom life. 💛
I totally get it 💜
"Don't you find all beige boring" Ah, yes, random stranger, you're right, I do find beige boring, which is why I surround myself with that colour in my home and clothing style.
Seriously doubt that people really question this. They just want to get their own opinion in about how you're somehow boring or wrong, and it's rude imo.

New to your channel, thanks for being you! I will keep watching.
My first 4 children were all completely natural vaginal births. My 5th child was a traumatic emergency c-section and honestly....the emotional trauma was way worse than the physical trauma. I'm ready to get pregnant again with baby #6 and hopefully I get to see my birthing experience redeemed!! And my scar is numb in a weird way, I can feel below the scar but not above lol
Delilah, I have so admired your wisdom and pure faith, whenever I think of the Proverbs 31 woman, you come to mind ✨️
Your channel has been such a huge blessing in my life, especially being a young mom myself to 4 and 2 year old girls. It always feels like sitting and chatting with a friend 😭
Hi Delilah! I'm so sorry to hear that you're going to let down UA-cam during the time.. this is my favourite channel so far in all the community of UA-cam.
PD: I love your personality and the work you do here is beautiful, you have to be so proud of yourself. Lots of love from Spain ❤️✨
Its so sad that all the mama-youtubers let down filming and turn to instagram and newsletters at the moment :(
I love your aesthetic. The world is so busy, having neutral colours around you helps keep things calm.
I love colour but I love to see it more in its natural environment.
You keep being you ✌🏼🕊
Have you heard of the channel Farmhouse on Boone? She has a youtube channel and podcast, and she shares about life/house renos/motherhood etc but I really know very little about her 7 kid’s personal lives. Just thought she might be someone you could check her out if you’re thinking of pivoting your approach
My first baby was a csection and I have had two successful vaginal births since. I got pregnant with my 2nd and 3rd at 13 months postpartum. I am a nursing student now and when I saw the recommendation for a successful vbac was to wait 18 months to conceive I was shocked 😅 seeing as my kids were both born 22 months after their previous sibling. I also completely agree with you. I do not know if I will ever feel "done" having children. I don't think I love anything more than giving birth and experiencing those first days of a newborn, the indescribable feeling of being your babies life line and whole world ultimately.
I love how you educate and use religion as a way for comfort. I was raised catholic and my parents use religion as a way to scare and punish me instead of a way for comfort and loving.
I've had two c sections and it took almost a year after my first one for that numbness to really start going away! And I'm a neutrals lover too.
These (and your DILT) are my fave videos. Feel like we get to be mamas together for a while. You’re doing so great. God bless you all xxx
You are living my dream - the life you live is what I hope and pray to have in a few years. Messy, real life and all. Thank you for sharing what you do with us, and thank you for keeping it real. Much love❤️
I am so thankful this was a laundry folding talk. I totally forgot I had laundry in the dryer until this popped up!
I really appreciate you prioritizing your kids in this way. You're an awesome UA-cam personality and honestly the only vlogs I watch. You being so real and being so forward with your faith and values is really relatable. Keep up the good work as long as you want! We'll support you either way.
2 time c-section mama here, the feeling does come back it just takes time ❤ the numbness is so annoying haha
I had a C-section for my first because she was breech, and then my son was born 5 years later in a water birth! So it is possible :) and it was an amazing experience :) Also, I love colours but I also really like your style and home, it’s very calming and lovely.
Totally not in the same vein as your content but I watched emma chamberlain's podcast talking about a youtuber's life span and how having UA-cam as a career is unsustainable because of how demanding it can be. Also that vloggers/youtubers don't last on this platform longer than 2/3 years. I don't have the same amount of growth by any means but I'm also a youtuber and I can see how much work and effort goes into making a youtube video compared to making a tiktok or posting on Instagram. Even though it's sad to see my favorite UA-camrs leave, I'm so understanding now.
making time to spend with the Lord is so important, thank you for speaking on that subject. i used to be afraid to set aside time to read the bible and pray, because i was afraid of just- doing it grudgingly out of habit? but the Lord is so wonderful: in His design, the simple act of obedience, diligently making time for him even if we don’t *feel* like it... brings us even closer to Him. love you delilah + fam!!
Love a good q&a. I hope you and your family are doing well! 😊
I wish you didn’t hide behind your Bangs. You have a nice face shape. Let it frame itself.
I feel like you should look into the board game Wingspan! Not only is it so aesthetically pleasing to look at when you play, but it’s one of those board games where you have to think a lot and put together strategies to win. I think you’d love it!
Was so excited about the sneak peak at the beginning of this video to see that you painted the bulkhead in the kitchen, looks good! If like Catan and Ticket to ride you should try Carcassone, there is also a kids version as well.
The way that your mug perfectly matched your outfit🤩🤩👌
It's takes years to get feeling back after nerve damage so don't lose hope yet! I've had success gaining feeling around scars by soaking in hot springs that have a lot of minerals.
Hey Delilah!!
Obviously this is a decision to make with your OB but I just wanted to tell you that I had a C-Section with my first and got pregnant with my second at 7 months pp. So, they were 16 months apart and I successfully had a VBAC. While I know not everyone is like this, I just thought it would be helpful to share ❤️
This was encouraging for me too ♡
Same here too! Emergency c section the first time, followed by 2 VBACs (one 18 months apart and the other 2 years apart from the second)
I had a c section almost 15 months ago. I thought the feeling would never come back, but it has! It just takes that long.
You’ve taught me so much and given me an attitude/lifestyle to emulate. Even when you leave UA-cam, I will go back and watch your old videos repeatedly! 💛
Please don’t ever leave UA-cam! you are literally my favorite UA-camr !!! I love your style, in every thing! You are def an encouragement!
What is the tree in the back??
Your style suits you and that is what matters
I love these chats and seeing home decor videos. I also love this style, vintage and beige. It’s peaceful to me. 🥰
Me: I will wake up before everybody to start a day good (about 5am)
My kid: Oh, mommy woke up, time to wake up 😆
Every single time. 4am is too extreme for me.
Delilah, every week your videos are something I look forward to soo so much. I love how authentic and real they are and always imagine how it would be if I had children and a family now like you do instead of sitting at university studying. I admire you and love your work very much. Thank you thank you thank you. Greetings from Berlin! Clara :))
I love your style and decorating sence and your simplicity of colors ,it is very calming.
Hi Delilah 👋 i became a mum for the first time in September last year, and I found your videos towards the end of my pregnancy. I have really connected with your videos and they've kept me company when I'm up in the night eating lots of toast after a night feed! Thank you for your content!
People are rude
Nerves can continue to regenerate for up to 2 years. Re-gaining feeling in your C-section scar is not impossible!
I love how cosy your home is ♥️..
Watching Delilah fold laundry while I’m doing laundry, makes me feel like I have a friend by my side. I have 2 kids so far and I thought I was done but now I’m just feeling very nostalgic to think no more kids for me 🤷🏻♀️
Well said Delilah about colour choices, I had a difficult labour with my 4th baby, i had 3 natural deliveries with just gas and air but with my 4th son i was induced a week early and everything was progressing and they thought i was about to deliver when my baby’s heart rate dropped and i had to be rushed into an emergency c-section and when my son was delivered i was haemorrhaging and lost 3litres of blood i had torn my womb, i nearly had to have a hysterectomy but luckily they managed to stop the bleeding a stitch me up but it took at least 6months recovering i was poorly but my son is perfect and so glad we are living where we could of both died. Lots of love to you and your gorgeous children. 💕
My C-section scar is still numb after 4 years and I’ve just gotten used to that feeling of it being that way. I’m getting induced on Sunday with my 2nd baby and am hoping for a VBAC! I’m hoping and praying that I can achieve a vaginal birth, and keep watching your videos of Eloise and Theo being born to help me prepare for something like that ☺️
I'm glad you had peace after your birth. But It's totally ok to feel comfort in the lord and seek counseling, and it's a beneficial tool to use in addition to your relationship with God.
Matching outfits with a coffee mug. That if something is life goals!! ✋🏻😂☕
The bun is on point today 🤌🏼
VBACs are becoming so much more popular and talked about. I’m sure because you’re young and if you give your body time, you could do it. 💗
Hi Delilla, it is so thrilled when I watched this video of yours. Actually I have followed you since 3 years ago, the moment of my first pregnancy. But just recently I started to watch more of your videos. I think I have watched definitely over half part of your channel. 😂Sometimes, just like this one, it hit me. And I felt so similar as you do, so emotional as well. So grateful there are person like you so sharing and hardworking. It encourages so much on me. I am a mom of two and I am looking after them and homeschooling and doing home makeover. But of course I have so much to catch on compared with you and other great UA-camr moms. Just want to tell it is so encouraging and comforting thing to view your channel in my life. 😊
As im being busy making babyroom ready, i just love to hear this kind of video's of you. Makes me so chill and i love binging youre video's eversince im pregnant of nr 3. I reconice so much! Much love from Holland🎉
We’ve done a few weeks in Europe with kids. Italy, France then Switzerland. It was amazing! I had an almost 4 year old and a 22 month old. The pace is a little slower and we had more down days. We also flew from Australia so the flights are soooo long. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Have you done any workouts to help you with weight? I am a new mom too! Love your videos ❤️
I wear jewel/cool tones and a lot of black but I LOVE your aesthetic and color palette. You’ve done an amazing job curating your wardrobe and home!
Hey I had a very very traumatic 1st pregnancy if I had the opportunity I would have loved to have gone through a process with a professional. I'm 30 weeks pregnant currently and every time I go to the Dr I get tens, if there's anything like heart burn or cramps I get stressed out and scared... I only realised how traumatic it was the moment I got pregnant... Praying for you that God will make sure the your next little one comes with no trauma no placenta previa or vasa previa or even placenta agrita. May your mom journey be blessed 💕 Marista here
Does she have friends? I can't imagine, that she can find time for a friend. I don't have friends myself. To be honest because I never really feel connected to someone. And I never have time to just spend it with someone "for nothing" 🤷🏻♀️
You’re lucky you’re numb. After my 1st emergency c section I had so much nerve pain for over 4 years until my 2nd emergency c section I think helped correct whatever they did wrong lol.
I’d be so sad if you quit UA-cam completely.
Never noticed you didn’t wear makeup, u have beautiful skin. I’m someone who doesn’t wear any makeup at all I just focus more on my skincare which makes me feel great!
I am the same. I just cannot stand makeup, I hate how it feels on my face. I have a pretty tricky skin, having PCOS with high levels of male hormones and had to learn alot when it came to skincare, diet&lifestyle to even make it look ok. I'd rather spend my money&time on skincare and be able to just feel great and confident without makeup.
I feel like one of the most damaging mindsets that comes out of Christianity is the idea that going to therapy/counseling is a sign of weakness in your faith. It would have been really awesome to hear you acknowledge that receiving help for mental health doesn't make you any less close to god verse perpetuating the idea that getting help means you're not as strong in your faith. I strongly assume this wasn't your intention and Im happy to hear you're doing well but this is a perspective that I unfortunately was taught in Christianity growing up because of hearing things like what you shared in this video.
