Omg Lennon's little "ah" after a sip of his drink is ADORABLE! He got that from you, Jenn! 💗
I kept replaying that moment while editing. Ughh, my heart!
@@imjennim someone is impersonating you in the comments they replied to mine
@@imjennim kindly advise your viewers and fans about this scam please.
seeing jenn from being a teenager into an adult and now into her mom era is honestly so heartwarming, it feels like watching sister become the best yet better version of themselves and i love it here 😭🫶🏻
Jenn just emulates such a nurturing mom. Wish I was like that. I'm too loud like my Mom 😅😅
I love hearing Ben talk to Lennon. He’s such a good dad!
He really is! x
I spent about a year and a half being over consumed with motherhood. One thing I learned after becoming a mom is to give yourself permission to step away from motherhood. Being a good mom means recognizing that your own health and happiness directly impacts your child’s, and taking care of yourself is the first step towards taking care of them.
Yes, I agree! It's a facet of your identity, not the entire thing! x
O
The wording is a bit awkward. I would never step away from motherhood, since once a person becomes a mother, they're always going to carry that biologically and psychologically. Taking small breaks to care for oneself is definitely important. We need all the help we can get from our family, tribe, or village which is almost non-existent in modern times.
A lot of moms struggle because of these, but we were never meant to take on 100% of the nurturing.
I'm part of the privileged minority that gets to be a full-time housewife and mother, and I'm grateful for it, but I definitely have my struggles. I would be worse off if I didn't have my mom with us 24/7 or if my husband wasn't self-employed and able to have such an adaptable weekly schedule. Help makes a difference.
@@NormieNeko I'm hearing you saying the same thing with different words in different ways. It's funny I read both your posts and agreed with both of you ❤❤
@@NormieNeko I had a mental health crisis after a postpartum medical emergency when my son, my first child, was two days old. I could not physically care for him or even hold him safely, which broke my heart. I needed tons of therapy, which forced me have to be away from him. I dreaded leaving the house to do rehabilitation. I even dreaded leaving the room to do my rehab homework.
However, everyone was telling me I needed to go away so I that I could heal and care for baby; it was for his sake. I had so much guilt, but every moment I was healing I had my child's face in my mind driving me.
While I was away I tried to pretend he was in my arms. I focused on being able to hold him again, and that's one of the biggest reasons I got better. Every moment I'm not near him caring for myself we are still connected through our hearts. He is loved even though I can't care for him every moment. I have to tell myself that's all that matters so I can continue to get better and stay better
Jenn, it’s been so lovely seeing your journey as a new mom. I remember you pregnancy announcement and relating so much to the fear you had. It was the first time I felt less alone for also fearing motherhood. I appreicate your honesty and transparency in these vlogs 🫶🏽
Had to add the toothbrush song 🎶 ICONIC haha Lennons so lucky to have you two as parents.
literally grew up watching jenn. love seeing how she's glowing as a mother
Between Jen and Leighann, this is very weird. They feel like friends we’re so proud of, that we’ve always been rooting for, yet I’m completely aware of how strange these parasocial relationships are
Thank you for this, Jenn. I’m 30, married and absolutely terrified to the idea of having a child because I don’t wanna lose myself and my ways. It really requires a selfless mentality to be a parent. Thank you for sharing your journey and realizations🤍
I feel the exact same. I know I’m not ready at the moment.
There were several months in the postpartum phase when I felt like I didn't know myself anymore, but now that we're a year and a half out, I feel even more comfortable with myself and the values I hold close.
Same! 30, married and going on 5 yrs married and everyone around me who married around the same time have kids already and I still just don’t feel ready but feel the pressure as I get older
@@JackyWacky1 omg same
Got married at 23 and turning 29
I can’t imagine me being a mom but I do want a cute kid 😢😢😢
@Sri teja they stop being "cute" you know!
Eventually they're a smelly teenager or a risk taking young adult.
That "aaahhh" after he drinks. So cute! 😊
When I started watching Jenn's videos, I always felt so close to her because it felt like I was watching what my life would eventually turn out to be. I live in CA like Jenn and even her mannerism and way of seeing life is similar to me. When she announced her pregnancy, I actually stopped watching her videos because I thought I wouldn't feel that connection to her but seeing her grow and making videos like this has made me even closer to her in way. I love you Jenn, thank you for showing me how good it can get.
Thank you Jenn,
I am entering that part of my life of thinking about having children. One of my worst fears is losing who I am and my life, to the point where I doubt whether I want to have kids or not sometimes. But this video helped me see that you don't have to lose yourself in the midst of the chaos of parenthood.
- Well wishes!
It can be very stressful at first! But you grow into it! My boy is 9 months now and you learn so much as you go! It's stressful sometimes for sure but I wouldn't trade my life now for any alternative. I love my lil man with all my heart.
Hey Sherry! Having a child is life's biggest responsibility, but also the largest gift. It's a decision to not make lightly so it's a great sign that you're reflecting beforehand. My tip is to make sure you have a dedicated partner (or family or friends or child caretaker) for the journey or parenthood. It truly does take a village!
watching Lennon grow just melts my heart 😚😚
As a 25-year-old, the thought of having a child can be daunting, but watching your videos has made it seem more manageable. I appreciate how you haven't lost your essence and have shared your routine with us, Jen. Thank you for providing reassurance and inspiration!
Except that its like this every day, day after day for YEARS AND YEARS. And there is no take back. If you arent 1000% sure dont do it.
Oh my heart lit up when the puppy sat all nice for Lennon when he’s in the shower! Too cute ❤
That outro was beautiful. You, Ben and Lennon, and with your dog walking in to complete the picture. Just living in the moment. It's really precious moments like these that make you feel at peace.
i would really love if jenn made a video about how her socioeconomic status makes her routine easier…. like being in a high income household, wfh, having extended family/nannies, etc
Mom of 2, 4 and 8 year old here. I’m jealous of how much “me” time you both get to start the day. Lol I’m woken up by a child jumping on me and there is zero time for any self reflection or meditation to start the day. Good for you guys!
Perhaps because they have one child? I could have more personal time when Iit was just my first born and I. Now that they'res two, I'm lucky if I remember to eat
I’m 11 weeks pregnant, and have a long way to go but I found this so comforting. Thank you for adding a dialogue about parenting that isn’t about how much sleep you’ll get or how the baby will change you and your marriage. This makes me not frightened ❤
After four years of parenthood and two kids, I feel SO settled. I have new hobbies and don’t feel mom guilt taking care of myself. It’s the best.
I love how cheeki always accompanies Lennon wherever he goes, so cute🥺
Why do i feel like i'm excited to hear him talk and how he would converse with you and ask questions out of curiosity? 😄💕
Time flies. Lennon is getting more and more handsome adorable big boy. ❤️
Hands down the most beautiful morning routine I have ever seen. The ending had me tearing up 🥹 I had my first baby girl last May and I can deeply relate to your sentiments. Motherhood is such a beautiful journey. 🥰
Jenn, would love if you'd be open to sharing some insights in a future video on your PCOS diagnosis, if you had irregular cycles, symptoms/experiences, and your overall PCOS specific health journey? Thank you for everything you continue to share, giving me hope that you can manage with healthy lifestyle choices and be able to get pregnant, and helping reassure that I don't need to be terrified of life changes if I become a Mom someday. ❤
In my early 20s, I began to have a very irregular cycle. My periods would go on for three weeks at a time. I was bleeding more than not. The doctor prescribed me birth control when I was 23 and I kept with it until I was 29. I went to my OBGYN who found some cysts in my uterus. I was told to get a blood test and they found unusually high levels of androgens. The doctor said it was likely PCOS, but I would need to return for more testing. I was dealing with an immense amount of stress and self-loathing then. Afterward, the pandemic happened and I couldn't go back to the hospital. During 2020, I continued to not take birth control, but I developed a grounding self-care routine and lifestyle. Then at the end of the year, I was pregnant!
Hi! I hope this helps. I was also kind of diagnosed with PCOS at 25. The thing is I had very painful and heavy periods randomly since the age of 17. The pain was so bad, I could faint. I kinda thought I had endometriosis then, but it wasn’t confirmed. I learned to manage the pain eventually.
Then at 25 my cycle became strange, not really irregular, but I would get random light bleedings out of nowhere. So we checked and it turned out I had a couple ovarian cysts. Which again made doctors think that I may have endometriosis/pcos. Then I was put on medication and birth control. Cysts cleared out in a couple months and never came back since. This again confused the doctors because neither endometriosis nor pcos behaves that way.
Later on I was going through very frequent ultrasounds to understand what the heck is happening. So the conclusion was that I have multifollicular ovaries (which isn’t a complete pcos). And the doctors said it would be pretty hard for me to get pregnant still.
But the thing is I got pregnant on the 1st try at the age of 28. I just used my body temperature method to check for ovulation. I also used some multivitamins to boost fertility.
So, yeah, this all may be challenging and confusing. But you really can manage this diagnosis. Sorry, if this is too long. Just thought I’d share my experience and tell you that it doesn’t have to be hard. It depends on the case of course. But you can live fully with this diagnosis ❤
It is so sweet how your dog just wanted to join in on everything 🥺🥺 and he looks really sweet and patient about it 💗
you don’t know how much your videos about motherhood help, I don’t plan to have kids in the next five years but it is a topic that is being spoken in my life and it really scares me, you actually make me feel like OK I can handle it someday and I don’t need to be a mom to prepare to be one so thank you so much❤
!!
I feel it changes for the better. Becoming a parent really makes you grow so so much more (mature) and really makes you prioritize important things in your life in the order it needs to be. Also you find out the wants in life is not as important anymore.
Hey Jenn 🌸 The journey of parenthood is insane, the self-discovery, self-awareness, and all the other realisations and lessons that come with it are challenging and fascinating. Looking back to the beginning to now must bring so many interesting things to mind for you. As always, thank you for sharing your thoughts, experience, and journey. You are growing wonderfully 🩷
Stay safe and well 🩵👑
This video is so cute and comforting - thank you for letting us in to witness the loveliness of your family. Really brings a smile to my face and gives my day a sense of peace. Thank you!
I don’t know why watching you being a mother is so emotional for me. I am so happy for you and Ben and your beautiful family. ♥️ love you Jen
Jen!!! I’m so grateful for your honest videos. I’ve been watching you since 2013 and feel like you’ve been an older sister to me as well as role model for my own UA-cam channel. I am 22 years old now and you sharing your journey through motherhood is making me so excited to maybe do the same one day. I appreciate your vulnerability and openness with us always❤️❤️❤️❤️
Makes me feel motherhood is doable. Something I have always feared. So thanks for this video showcasing the brighter side of it and much love
I love you Jenn!! Your videos always bring me so much comfort and happiness. I’ve always wanted to be a Mom, but have a lot of anxieties around it + pregnancy, but you always showing your candid feelings and thoughts, and showing how you overcome and work through these things makes me feel so comforted and heard 🥺❤️ You’re a beyond amazing mother and I am living for these family vlogs! 🫶🏻
I feel so happy and in peace seeing Jenn's videos, but this one really got me. I stopped the video when Jenn was holding Lennon, while Ben was filming, at the stairs just to process the meaning of that image. Is like to see a family homemade video, so many special moments behind it. Love your content Jenn, kisses from Brasil ♡
so proud of you Jen 🤍 all love and blessings to your wonderful family !
That tooth brushing song is too catchy hahaha. I absolutely love seeing your journey in motherhood Jenn. I remember you going through so much during your pregnancy and it is so comforting, as someone with no kids, to see someone transition so beautifully.
I was a dental nurse for 5 years (stopped when I had my baby, now pregnant with my second so I haven’t returned) give your bubs fluoride!!!!! Tap water (if safe in your country) also contains fluoride. It’s super important in keeping their teeth strong
39 weeks pregnant and needed to hear all of this - you were one of the first pregnancy videos i found to - THANK YOU!
Your way of storytelling is so beautiful
And you have really grown so much! You both have! I remember the Jen dating, the business Jen, the engaged Jen, the married Jen, the mother Jen!
It’s all been beautiful and I love that you didn’t lose yourself you actually brought yourself together!
Your videos are always so calming. Gives me hope.
It feels so wholesome watching Jenn with her husband AND their child. I still remember when I started watching her - I was in high school. Now I am 27 and I feel like she’s my older sister. Even tho I don’t watch every single video anymore, I always come back to her like to a dear family member or a friend. Thank you, Jenn ♥️
you're such an amazing storyteller because you're so thoughtful with your words - would love to see you write a book someday! Love growing and learning with you, beautiful video, thank you for sharing
Lennon is so precious and watching him grow up has been the best blessing. Thank you both for choosing to share this period with us. I know that decision couldn’t have come easily but it helps me feel so at peace about my future, seeing yours play out
I'm watching your vlog since you were a teenager and now you're a mother, you live your life really good Jenn. This vlog is so warm and heartwarming. congrats with your new step of life!
This was beautiful. I'm a mom of 2 and it definitely squeezes something out of you haha. One thing I have learned is to definitely embrace the chaos, they are only little for so long and seeing the world through their new eyes is so beautiful.
I literally have been struggling with this so much today…. I have felt so down as a mom and with having a new baby on the way. I went to god and now I found this. I understand every mother’s life and tactics are different but it’s always comforting to know that we are not alone, we all have doubts and “I am not my thoughts”. Thank you for some constructive ideas on how to ground before the day gets hectic ❤️
I love that I recently jumped back into YT and found your channel again. I grew up watching you first in my teens and now that I'm in my late 20s its beautiful to see the transition of your life into motherhood and have something new to relate with you on and look up to you for 🥰
Thank you, Jenn. Its my first time to leave the comment on your videos even tough I have been watching you quite long time. Your video is caring, encouraging and motivating. Its really touching that you mentioned "the chaos is also beautiful." I could not focus on the present nowadays but I feel way better after I watched your video. Thank you as always!
Jenn you are such a great storyteller. Ive enjoyed watching your content flow beautifully as you have evolved over the years. There is so much to learn from you, and you continue to inspire me!
we love you Jenn 🥹 this was such a heartwarming video. thank you for sharing such a special season of your life with us.
I teared up watching this. Watching Lennon grow, seeing yours and Ben’s delight, the beautiful life you’ve created. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I love watching you, Ben, and Lennon! It’s just the most beautiful thing ever to see all your interactions with each other! Such a beautiful picture! Parenthood is definitely not easy but so rewarding. ❤️
I'm a new mom and I couldn't have said this better! Thank you so much for sharing your journey as it's really helped me get through the hardest parts of pregnancy / postpartum. Lennon is adorable and I can't wait to see him grow up!
I remember watching your pregnancy announcement video and thinking this is so relatable (relatable as one can be when they have never been pregnant lol) because there's still so many fears and worries that come with such a big life change, no matter how joyous it is. It makes me feel so 🥺 to see the growth.
LOL also lennon just giving😐energy with the toofs song.
Jenn, you have no idea how much comfort you bring to me. You were so right when you said that one can only resonate with your videos depending on what they're currently experiencing in their lives. That's when I realized that every time I watch your video, I always tell myself that in the future when I'll be in the same situation, I know what video to run to. Like if I get pregnant in the future, I 100% know that I will go back to your pregnancy videos. Thank you so much Jenn for sharing your life, your feelings, and your thoughts with us. ☺
Side note, I always wake up to your weekly videos every Saturday on my side of the world and it has been my cute morning routine! Coffee and Jenn's videos 💛
OMG i was just watching that video where you talk about what you think your life will look like in a year! so happy to see you follow up on that and it’s always so amazing to see you mature into your role as a mother🥹🫶
The quality of your video is top notch, you inspire me so much!
What a beautiful video! I loved what you said about motherhood distilling your essence. We get so much messaging that once you become a parent and especially a mother, your individual life is basically over and you become one single thing: a parent. I'm not a mother yet but hope to be in the near future and I want to thank you for modeling such a healthy mindset!
Such a beautiful family💞 also love how cheeki is always around Lennon. She’s such a sweet girl! Thank you for sharing Jenn✨
This video is just everything to know ......... to be not afraid of anything and everything will be alright......
I have been watching jennim since beginning of 2020 ....so, her video has really been a good help for me....
Love You Jenn💕
omg when cheeki walks in at the end... so wholesome.
every time i watch jenn's videos i get so emotional seeing how far she's come and how much she's grown and she gives me courage that i can do the same one day. keep doing you jenn we love and support you always!!
this was so beautiful Jen! thank you for opening your heart and bringing us along on this journey 🥲✨
You guys are such amazing parents ❤ Love your videos so much!✨ Thanks for sharing all these beautiful moments with us & for your honesty. Much love to you & your beautiful family 🥰
I love how cheeki is involved in everything ❤ the cutest thing! ❤
The clips starting at 9:14 made me cry. You and Ben are so beautiful and created such a precious boy. I love you Jenn, wishing nothing but the best for your family. Been watching you since middle school and I’m 26 now!❤
I love seeing you being a mom! The love that you give Lennon is so beautiful to watch! I cant wait to be a mom with whomever I meant to be with in this life :)
your channel always makes me feel better about my motherhood journey! Still learning how to navigate these first couple of months, but seeing how you handle things gives me hope!
waaahhhh still not used to seeing you as a mother as ive been watching u since u were clothesencounters but waaaahhh you are the kind of mother i want to become.
Thank you for making this vid, this reaffirms my reality as a new mom with wonderful husband that is able to cater parenting together. I went through similar (horrible) anxiety when I was pregnant, and now having a little boy is not as scary as I thought it would be. Cheers to every moms out there🎉🎉🎉
OMG the last shot was so sweet, even cheeki joined in the family moment whlist the 3 of you colored.
I have a 12 weeks old baby boy and he is my first child. Your video was up right when I was anxious about my new life in the future juggling between work and caring a baby, and still not lose myself. Thank you for the encouragement!
Hi Jenn, our baby boy is due in June and watching you with Lennon gives me so much reassurance that the big changes coming my way are not to be feared! Thank you, love to see it ❤️
Jenn you’re doing amazing ! It’s so beautiful to see you in motherhood 🫶🏾🤗
jenn your videos are always so self-reflective and inspiring truly you remind me to reflect on my own thoughts and behaviors and I always feel at ease by the end. love to you and your family xx
Literally tearing up watching this Jenn. Thank you for sharing these precious moments with us 🫶
Anything with lots of lennon's face is my favorite😊. Hes just so adorable!
Thank you for this. I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and feeling anxious about what the future holds and losing touch with myself and my routines as I become a mum. But this has really eased my anxiety. Thank you
I just became a mother of my son couple weeks ago. Watching your video is so comforting to know moms can still manage their healthy routine while watching a baby☺️💕
just wanted to say i’ve been watching you since you went to college and your journey is so inspiring. I love watching what you produce and i’m so proud of how far you’ve come! Love you!!!!
He is seriously the cutest baby ever!!!
Thats beautiful how things have been taking shape in ur life. Motherhood is tough for sure. It really upheavals a lot of your life.. but I’m glad you grew into it and love it as well. Thanks for sharing Jenn😊
I can't seem to not cry & get emotional every time I watch one of your videos : ') It's been so beautiful to grow up watching your journey & feel a sense of inspiration and peace about what the future can hold
I happened to watch your video. I think you're raising your child with a healthy mind. I think your son will be a healthy and wonderful son by your hard work.❤
As a new expecting mom, this was SO comforting. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this one ❤️
I grew up watching your videos and seeing you take up the roles of parents is so heartwarming and moving. Lennon is absolutely adorable!🥰 Time flies by so fast, it was only yesterday that I watched you go through your pregnancy!
Your storytelling is out of this world ❤😊 ty for sharing your life with us
Your story telling is evolving beautifully. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and life with us ❤
Everything you said in this video was very lovely and really gave me some hope. I've had awful ppd since I had my son and the way you look at things in such a positive light gives me some motivation
OH MY LORD, LENNON IS SUCH A CUTIE. He will grow up looking like his parents
I really enjoyed this. I have a 10 month old, and this video really reminded me to take time for myself. I wake up and make him breakfast, work for 10 hours, get home and cook for him and then pass out. I need to make time for exercise and hobbies, and this really reminded me that it is possible. Thank you for sharing
Cute Lennon! And don’t forget to share some love with the little Bichon❤
I rarely comment, but your videos truly feel like little documentaries that I can't wait to keep watching. You outdo yourself with creativity every year. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us
In my culture men typically don’t play or take care of babies so it’s typical for dads to be pretty detached. I learned this until high school because my dad was always there playing with us since we were babies, taking us to the movies, making us breakfast and doing lots of things along with my mom. I’ve had such a great childhood with an emotionally present dad and it’s so nice to see Ben doing just that❤❤ I feel like I’m watching my family’s old tapes by the way he plays and speaks to Lennon ❤❤
Jenn, I started college right when you gave birth to Lennon. Thank you for this reminder that we are all growing together
He’s such a big boy now!! So cute! ❤️
The brushing teeth song reminds me of a song that my siblings and I used to sing when it was bath time. “Come and have your bath tidi. Come and have your bath tidi tidi” 🎶 (tidi is the beat) then we’d add “have our bath together, have our bath together” when we want to do that.
I’m most definitely going to sing them for my kids. 😂
You guys are the life goal fam bam! Amazing! This put a big smile on my face and made me feel less anxious about becoming a mother one day, thanks! 🩷
Mom hormones bursting. I literally cried 🥹❤️ Being a mom is tough but I super duper love my son❤
❤❤❤❤ love this vlog so much! Both you and ben have grown and learned together thru parenthood! Lennon is such a wonderful baby! You both have done so well uprooting him so far!
I just realized 8 minutes into watching this that I had a goofy proud smile on my face. It is so nice to hear your thoughts and expectations for life, and know it's all just perspective sprinkled with action. You make for a good mom. So happy for you and Ben.
This is wonderful to see but I'd love a mention that you have wealth and a nanny to support you (I know you have acknowledged that in the past). The advice you're given to prioritize yourself is alot easier when you have two parents who work relatively lower stress jobs (by that, I mean, compared to most people I know who work for corporations for less pay and more restrictions on their time) plus expensive childcare and a safe, large home. Even the littlest thing like having the bathroom counterspace to make it easier to brush your baby's teeth is out of reach for a lot of people. Im not trying to put you down but just it's great to also acknowledge the privilege to even say, I am able to prioritize things like exercise.
Yep, it also helps that Ben's a great partner and hands on father who sees his role as 50/50 with Jenn. There's definitely situations where families are rich enough to hire help, there are father figures who don't prioritize 'being' a dad or partner. They've worked very hard for the life they live both financially and emotionally with their inner work. It's nice to see partners who figure it out together.
yess I get worried how many comments say "wow jenn you've made me realise having a baby might be easier than I thought". Think about it a bit more critically y'all, happy for jenn but wealth, support, flexible jobs & wfh + she's pretty much being paid to promote a nice calm parenthood. It's lovely to watch but I don't recommend people to change their viewpoint on having kids which is a HUGE decision, cause of an influencers video lmao
I loved the message from this video so much, I also have a 1 year old and honestly all the changes has been worth it.
