I love your videos and also WOW. I cannot believe that people would respond they way they chose to respond. You are doing the best you can and their actions are on them, you aren't in control of the way they show their frustration. Send prayers of truth and calming peace your way! - A Constant People Pleaser
Hi Erin - THANKS for understanding meeee. Isn't it so hard being a people pleaser? We make it WAY more difficult for ourselves than it needs to be. Honestly in the last week, I've felt much better about the situation so thank you!
ERRR ok maybe I'm just really sensitive to all things post partum but that person's comment about them "wondering if someone was doing something to the baby" was SO not appropriate. If I were on the receiving end of that, that comment would be floating around in my brain all day for several days to come. The neighbors banging on the wall would have totally made my post partum anxiety spiral out of control - so you're not alone in being sensitive! People need to be more kind, and the way you responded (with the note and gifts) was very generous. While I wouldn't have been big enough to do the same, your actions were very Christ-like so I commend you. Again, you are doing so amazing and I pray that God will continue to lift you and Alex up through this crazy journey. It's scary not having your mom around anymore - I felt the same! But you will feel liberated knowing that you and Alex CAN survive this (although it does take a village to raise a child and I hope you will still get help occasionally in the future)!
Haha Jane seriously thank you for saying that. I think the way I cope with anxiety is just constant reminders... so thank you for understanding me and for just making me feel better about it. I definitely wasn't trying to be a bigger person... honestly didn't know how else to deal with it without making my anxiety way worse. This at least made me feel like the ball is more in her court? We left our number too so she really can contact us if there's any more trouble lol! Anyway. THANK YOU!!
Sarah!! Thank you for sharing your life as a mom! Makes me smile each time you post! I hope you, Alex and Charlotte are doing well always praying for you and your family 💙🖤
Charlotte is absolutely adorable!!!!! You are going above & beyond to take expensive gifts to the neighbors! Very sweet. That one woman clearly has some kind of issues, plus no experience with children. People who can't deal with normal human life around them shouldn't live in apartments. So pray for her but ignore her reactions; you two are the best parents (& neighbors!) ever! :)
Thank you Judy! Yes, I'm telling myself that a crying baby is a part of life and that there's nothing more I can do... I feel a lot better about it actually. Probably because I've been receiving some good validation and encouragement from people like you. Thank you!!
Sarah ♡ Your neighbor is wrong to say any of those things and wrong to bang on the wall. That’s rude and disrespectful to new parents. There’s nothing YOU can do about it. THEY need to buy their own ear plugs or blast a sound machine or better yet, move! Also, thanks for sharing your day with us! And your essentials and must haves! I’m currently trying to organize our cart for our second baby due in a few weeks! Lastly, Missional Motherhood is such a great read! I hope you have a group of women or a friend you can geek out with about your findings and convictions from reading it! You are crushing the new parent life all while enjoying the mundane ♡ it’s so sweet to get a sneak peek at your life ♡
Hi! Thank you so much for saying that. I have to keep reminding myself that there's nothing I can do. But honestly I've made a lot of peace with it in the past week, thankfully!! Congrats on your second baby (I cannot imagine doing that!). I heard it's hard but sooo amazing to watch your two babies grow together. Aw. I hope the last bit of your pregnancy is smooth and that you soak up the magical days with your newborn! I feel like you will be such a pro!
First of all Charlotte has me GUSHING over here, and making all types of silly grinning faces. She is a DOLL! Second of all your feelings and thoughts are totally valid regarding the neighbors - and you're right at the end of the day there's nothing you can do about it to console them. Your main concern is Charlotte and they either get it or they don't. I can't believe someone would say they thought you guys were doing or not doing something for her. Sounds like someone who has no clue what it's like to have a newborn - or kids period. In my mind, I'm like they can always move if they have a problem LOL Keep being awesome Mama!
Haha Desirae thank you! Honestly things change a lot when you become a mom. My perspective changed and I feel like even in this month, I've come to understand others a lot better... like other people's kids, how they parent, etc. It really is just everyone doing their best! Anyway thanks for always supporting and YES Charlotte does feel like a doll, especially when I'm shoving her little arms into different outfits lol!
Great vid.. day in a life of new parenting. My eldest wasnt colicky, she just cried for an hour every day for 3 months, 7 to 8 pm, every single night. Babies need to cry. Allows their lungs to fill and grow. It was a good thi g I lived on the farm. I dont do well with neighbors, especially thise who jump to conclusions of how a baby is suppose to be taken care of. Each child is different. It was nice to give earplugs to your neighbors. It will get better.
Thank you! Wow, even though she wasn't "officially" colicky, that sounds really hard. Almost harder because you're anticipating it! But yeah, I agree. I don't want to ever feel like I'm silencing Charlotte!! It seems healthy to cry here and there for sure. A farm sounds really lovely to me right now but I think I've made peace with it in the last week, THANKFULLY. Thank you :)
I hear people having sex in my building, i just put on my headphone. Dont feel obligated to apologize or give something to your neighbors, ignore them.
I write scripture around the house too. Postpartum was the hardest time of my life. Hands down. I’m proud of you.
Thank you for saying that! It is so hard. Looking back on it now, it feels like a HUGE fog (darkness?) has lifted. Thanks for empathizing with me
You’re doing an awesome job as a new mother
Aw. Thank you. Such a sweet comment.
Man Korean moms really do care for their grandbabies like no other! My grandma was the same way
Haha everyone just has different love languages! But yes... very grateful

@@bysarahkim I hope it is solved!
Mom I know you did all the work growing and birthing her but she looks just like her dad
Haha Cherry, 100% agree. It makes me a little sad but it is what it is right!? :P
I hear people having sex in my building, i just put on my headphone. Dont feel obligated to apologize or give something to your neighbors, ignore them.
I'm realizing it's all just a part of living in a shared space!!! Apartment living pros and cons :P
Hi it would really help if you would speak a little louder and clear for everyone to understand.(The background noises also don't help.)
Will remember 👍🏼
