You literally have a world of people rooting for this child. You're going to be amazing parents. Best wishes to you all
Thanks Craig! 🙏🏼❤️
I don’t know you personally but it’s just so apparent what wonderful people you both are. You are going to get through this. Your community loves and supports you.
Definitely got so many cool and kind people who care.
I was a premie born 3 months early. 1 pound 14 ounces. I’ll be 53 years old tomorrow and have no developmental issues. Truly a miracle in 1970 without the advanced technology we have today. Sending strength to your little one and to you both for a safe and beautiful journey into parenthood. ❤
WOW! That’s incredible! Reassuring to hear things like that 🥹🙏🏼
I too was born early and my birthday is today. Happy birthday fellow Virgo -
Same! I was 3 months early and 1 lb 9 oz. And no health issues. I'm 62 now. 😊
Yeah I was three weeks early I’m fine as well short but developmentally fine.
And I was born in the 1970s and have friends who had premmie kids and they are all fine
“Tears are how I process.” This is a great quote Leah! I’m writing this down for prosperity and I am using it for me! You and bean are in my prayers! Great vibes your way!
I picked out that quote also. I've always been ashamed for crying but it is truly how I process things. So now I am no longer ashamed and I'm glad to hear that you recognize that as well.
My wife asked why I was crying while watching UA-cam. 🥺😭 But I was also smiling because you still manage to keep things upbeat. I'm surprised you didn't point out the fact your child could arrive on LABOUR DAY?! 😂
And don't worry about uploads, we'll all be here for the update when you're all ready to share one, whether it's for the family or the trailer. Take your time to relax now, because there will be no rest after baby arrives!
Much love from the mainland. ❤
Hahaha yeah I think we were too overwhelmed to even think about that in the moment 😅 our fingers are crossed though! 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Sleep will be lacking for a little while, take naps when you can.@@LeahandLevi
Same I cried too! Love them both so much.
Oh Leah. I had to skip ahead in the video to see the baby update, I’m going to watch the full video for you guys after. But Leah this is not on you honey, I hope you know you’re not to blame. Nothing you could’ve done❤ Our bodies are mysterious and babies are resilient and both your body and your baby just made it so you’d get to meet early ❤❤❤ you’re all good momma, you’re doing a great job. And you’re gonna knock it out of the park ❤
Have loved you two for a long time. My son just moved to college two days ago. Watching this reminded me of how I knew my life would change but didn’t know how. How my pregnancy didn’t go according to plan. At ALL. And neither did his childhood. How I feel so much wiser than I used to feel. And how I never knew how much more deeply I could love another human being. You are each good people. And you have a strong relationship. You are already great parents. Kids will keep you on your toes… they have no idea that our heartstrings are wrapped around their tiny fingers. I’m so sorry it’s scary right now. As another poster said - you have a whole world of people rooting for this child. Count me as one of them. So much love to you, baby, and your whole families!
Thanks so much for this comment! Onto the next chapter I suppose! 🤷🏻♂️🥰🙏🏼
That's a lot 🥺. I was a NICU mama, and it can be hard. Remember that baby is in the best hands possible and take breaks if you need them. CELEBRATE the birth of your baby! It feels like you miss that part as a NICU parent, and your family deserves to celebrate this new person, and they deserve to be celebrated ❤ sending love from Alberta. You are going to do great! I am so excited for you and your beautiful family. Labour day baby!!! My bday is on the 6th and sometimes i get a long weekend. Its a great week to be born ❤
Thank you for this! We are SO lucky and have a lot to be grateful for. 🙏🏼🥹
@@LeahandLevi you'll never have more qualified babysitters. Go for lunch and be happy while you wait for him to come home.
Back in the late ‘60s, my mom failed a pregnancy test and consequently did not know she was pregnant with me until she was 5 months along. She only gained a total of 15 pounds, so I’m told. I came 3 weeks early, and was just over incubator weight. They were prepared for the baby to have “problems”. Turned out I had no developmental delays whatsoever. I know there are no guarantees and am so glad for the great health care you and baby are receiving. Just a reminder that medicine doesn’t know all, and babies love to surprise us! Praying for you all!
Welcome to parenthood, Leah and Levi. ♥ Wishing you the very best for a safe and joyful delivery. You're in my thoughts. 👶🍼
Thank you for this comment friend! 🥰🙏🏼
@@LeahandLevi ♥
WOW guys what an emotional rollercoaster this video has been,I laughed and cried, baby is just keen to meet his wonderful mom and dad.❤
Thanks for being here 🥹🙏🏼🥰
My brother was a premie and he was in the incubator for about a month. Now he's a big and strong 22 year old! I'm sending y'all big vibes and this baby is gonna grow strong and big like Levi 🤗
Thank you! Good to hear a positive story like that 🙏🏼❤️
As a mom of 4 who used cloth diapers, the first couple of days use the disposable at the hospital, the first dirty diaper is not something you want to try to wash. Also I’ve bought that same stroller twice, it’s fantastic.
Ok that’s both good to know! Thanks for the comment!
Yep the meconium is super sticky and will ruin your beautiful diapers.
Just my small input on cloth diapers . You really dont have to soak them in vinaigre and water. If you are breastfeeding. The poop is water soluble until the child eats. If not, you just use some little liners or you scoop it and rinse with only water but let it dry. If you soak them it might get some mold or the elastics might deteriorate quick.
A big wetbag with a zipper or just an open basket will work :)
Also congrats on becoming parents ! Its a beautiful rollercoaster and its true what everyone says … Time does fly by. My mini will turn 7 months really soon 😊
As a fellow incubator baby, I'm sending all the amazing vibes for you three!
I turned out healthy despite being born a month early ❤
Thanks for this! Fingers are crossed 🤞🏼🙏🏼
All will be well,@@LeahandLevi --- modern medicine is miraculous. Baby will be small but fine.
@leahandlevi another incubator baby here! 2 months early and I've turned out healthy too :) sending you all so much love!
Was 11lb and early, biggest thing was all the clothing people gave, was to small.
Sending prayers for you and your family, prayers that everything went well and that you are now enjoying your little one. Those PJ'S made from bamboo are great. My niece had her baby and she received several pairs and that's all she uses now. God bless all of you 🙏💙🙏
Oh guys this brings back so many memories. Almost the exact same thing happened to me, baby was measuring small, growth scans, meeting with a consultant at 37 weeks on a Friday… we’re going to induce you on Sunday. Was the busiest Saturday of all time 😂 So grateful of modern medicine, he was perfect although fairly tiny 😅 We just celebrated his 4th birthday on the 1st of September! Hope everything goes well on Monday, sending love x
I don't know you, this is literally my second video of yours I'm rooting so hard for you! Jeremiah 29:11
I had a 4lb 12 oz full term baby. She was born on her due date. She was healthily and strong. She is 32 now. I feel like everything will be fine
Good thing I swallowed my coffee when Leah made 'THE' comment! lol Love it! May all the good vibes, prayers and all the rest get you through this!
Sending you all the love and support right now 💕
I’ve never had a child. Probably never going to have a child. But this made be BAWL to where my significant other was concerned about me. I’ve never had a connection to a UA-cam channel’s baby progress, but I hope the WORLD is good for you both. And Leah is doing okay. Love you both.
Hi Leah,
I've never commented here, but I thought it would be nice to hear a good story in this circumstance. Something like this happened to me when my baby was not growing: placenta issues. I got super concerned as any mother would. I was induced at 39 weeks and my beautiful baby boy was born small, but healthy. He is 2 and a half, and having him is such a joy. It was scary, but how lucky are we to have modern medicine supporting us? Good luck in this new chapter and you have a beautiful family to support you.
Breastfed babies you just put the diapers in the wash with everything in it and it comes clean no problem. (I do rinse cycle first and then wash as normal on hot) The only time you'll need an extra step is when they start solids but you have 6 months before that. We are so excited for your family! My sister in law was less then a pound at birth for the same reason and she has no health issues and is in great health. I'm just so happy you live in Canada where you can get such good healthcare. Best wishes!
My brother, Levi. You are the epitome of simplicity, resilience and adaptability. I really treasure your videos and will be missing you.
Godwilling everything will be alright 👍
All the best from Australia 🇦🇺 🙌
Ohh boy, what a video. Pregnancy is so magical and fragile at the same time. The internet people are sending you guys lots of love 💕 and we will be waiting to meet the new member.
Thanks for being here! 🥰🥹🙏🏼
Don't have it on my cel but got the great news on our pad. CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of little Frankie. So glad all ended well. Must have been so terrifiying for you two.
Wishing you all the best. Take the time you need, theses moments are precious. We Will see you when you three Get back. Lol.
Best of luck!! As a father of 2, where both were born a couple of weeks early, things are going to be alright. Spend time with the kid, sleep as much as you can for the first few weeks while all they do is sleep, and cuddle lots. You'll learn REALLY quick about poop 😂💩. You'll get scared shitless a million times for a million things you'll realise were seriously stupid once you went through the shock. But that's being a parent, and it is scary, and it is wonderful, and you'll both love it.
I was a preemie myself. Was supposed to be born New Years Day, I was born at the end of November. 3 lbs, 5 oz. I'm 2 inches taller than my mom, 32 years old, and I turned out ok. Everything will be ok.
I’d say the baby just can’t wait to meet you 😉
As a fellow premie baby, (almost 3months early, 1.5kg), I’m still a bit shorter than the rest of my family but that may just be a coincidence.
When my parents left the hospital they were told not to have too high expectations, that I’d always be more fragile than the other kids, and they’d need to be patient with me. My dad took it as a challenge and said “we will see about that!”.
I walked, talked and read before any other kid my age.
I think these comments can be a self fulfilling prophecy.
I’m wishing all three of you lots of love and encourage you to let your baby determine the pace! 🥰
I was born 6 weeks before my due date due to my mom having an umbilical hernia. Not only that, she didn't realize she was pregnant until nearly 5 months. She was given a two day heads up that she had to have a c section both for her health and mine. I was born in Colombia weighing in a little under 5 lbs and spent a few days in the hospital with my mom as she recovered from her surgeries. Once she went home, so did I. I'm 29 now, the only "development" issues I had was being in the lowest height percentile, which could be due to several reasons outside of being premie. I'm rooting for you both and you're little one, I'm sure you both will be incredible parents to your little cutie.
As a premie with a TON of health issues, I’m now 23 and thriving! Your baby is so incredibly lucky to have such amazing parents and family surrounding them. Sending you lots of health and happiness during these times❤
If it goes by the book it’s boring. You will have genuinely interesting pregnancy tales to tell! I was induced to give birth to a baby projected to weigh 11.5 pounds. My 9.5 pound baby arrived after 4.5 days of labour. His head was so large it wasn’t just off the top of the chart but off the top of the page the chart was on!!!! He’s now a 26 year old, engaged, Graduate. I use the story to drive him mad when he winds me up 😂😂😂. Once the bean is here and has a few good feeds in him all will be well. You two will be the most amazing parents and they will be fabulous. Sending you love, strength and hugs ❤❤❤
I appreciate that baby is probably already on the scene but just a heads up with washable nappies.
You SHOULD NOT wet bucket modern nappies as it destroys the lamination of them. Modern washable nappies should be put in a dry bucket and you can add a few drops of tea tree oil if you want to but it’s not necessary, just wash them regularly don’t leave them for days before washing. Hope that helps and massive congratulations!!!
Good Luck!!! Just had an induction three weeks ago with our second kiddo, its a wild ride but you will both do great! Our first had to come early for medical reasons also and my husband had the EXACT same look on his face 😂 Also fair warning depending on how little baby is those NB diapers may not fit, cloth tends to run bigger than disposable.
My friends had their baby early last year. She weighed 2lbs 11oz. Not sure what that is in grams but she was tiny. She is now happy, healthy baby girl! Your baby will do great and we are all rooting for you!
The most important thing is to have a baby in good health even if the baby is small. From the bottom of my heart, I wish all the best in bringing this child into the world. Sending you positives vibes from Québec. Thinking of you on Monday, Diane xx
My son had IUGR and was born tiny. He’s now an enormous 8 year old. Taller than all his friends and developmentally normally. Sending love. ❤️❤️❤️
My son was a premie at 35 weeks - surprised us! He spent 2 weeks in the NICU but is a happy and healthy 13 month old. It’s so scary and I really feel for you, but GOOD LUCK! You’ll be amazing parents.
Welcome to life as parents! Nothing will ever be the same. Specially plans. Mom of five here. Rooting for guys. ❤
Prayers for your little family. My children were born at 34 weeks and 36 weeks, 4#8 1/2 oz.and 4# 12 oz. They are 46 (he stands 6' 2" tall) and she is 44. Technology is well advanced from when my children came into the world, your baby is going to have wonderful care. I know this is overwhelming, I remember the shock of being told "your baby is coming today". Welcome to the world little man, God Bless You and your Mommy and Daddy.
Amazing. All the love and best for healthy Mama and Baby. And of course Levi. ❤️❤️❤️
For sure, you have a BIG family here. I started following you as a fellow Prius owner, with a Mexican partner. Thank you for sharing your journey. Peace Out, while you adjust.
Our little girl Mae was born at 36 weeks last February. I also had an early induction (because of high blood pressure). It is indeed a shock when they tell you your gonna become parents sooner than expected. She ended up being around 5lbs, tiny but healthy, and stayed at the neonatal ward for 10 days. She’s now almost 7 months and still rather small but very happy and active and developing as normal. I must say as a first time parent the amount of great care tips from all of the neonatal nurses was actually nice to have. I hope all goes well and you will feel supported by your family and the hospital staff in taking care of your precious little one.
Cloth diapering advice, feel free to take it or leave it! I found cloth diapering so easy in the first few months. Up until formula or food was introduced, smell was a non-issue. I never heard of a vinegar soak for the diapers (but there's lots of methods!). I put all diapers in a huge wet bag in a trash can with a lid and when it was laundry day (every 7 days), I'd throw it all in the wash. There are plenty of support groups for cloth diapering because it can be difficult to get your groove. I'm rooting for y'all through all of this!
Also, (and y'all know this) there's no shame in a disposable diaper. I had to switch to pull ups at night time because no other option was keeping my kiddo dry (and they aren't ready to night train). I was very upset about this but ugh, whatever. I value sleep so much as a parent and changing wet clothing and sheets off my passed out child ain't the vibe.
Also also, I just sold my kid's stash of cloth diapers and it was a little emotional getting rid of them! I kept my favorite one. Prepare to get attached.
Good luck to y'all! I can't wait to hear an update when y'all are ready for it. ❤
My best friend had this happen to both her pregnancies. First was 35 weeks second was 37 and both boys are now 10 and 8 years old. Your beautiful baby will be here soon and healthy. For her both times the placenta wasn't giving the babies nutrients
❤ You Guys!
Going be burning sage & sending positive energy from Memphis, TN to you guys.
My wife had 4 miscarriages my daughter was born at 2lbs and she is now 18 and in college you guys are close and have mad love keep your hope and heads up science is awesome. Good luck you two .

I was born 3 months early in 1960. 1 lb 9 oz. I have no health issues. I even gave birth to 2 healthy children in my early 30's. Technology now is light years away from what it was in 1960. Your baby is going to be in great hands. Sending lots of love and light and prayers. ❤

Sending good vibes. I wish everything goes well
Sending lots of love for you guys! Everything will be ok ❤
Guys so excited for you. I’ve used cloth diapers for 3 years with my two kiddos and it is not recommended to soak them. Just need to rinse off the poo (we installed a bidet to the toilet to make this process super easy) and store in bucket neither good airflow for no more than 2 days before washing. It’s a bit of learning curve with the nappies but once you get it it’s easy and worth it!
Congratulations!!! Sending hugs for a happy and healthy baby! And take all the time you need, we all will be here for you when you had the time you need and are ready to come back.
