I mean no matter how much you relax, infertility sometimes just need medical intervention to overcome. We wouldn't have gotten pregnant without it. Loved you showing your real arguments, this is every couple.
ELL you are doing amazing. Women deserve so much more credit for what we accomplish. I too , had C-sections with both of my boys. With the second our house was up for sale and 2 weeks after he was born, my husband called me from work and said the lady who bought our house wanted it in 2 days. I called my mom and she came to help pack up and found me on a chair pulling pots and pans out of my cabinets. Wow, did she yell at me 😂😂
You two are just lush…. Everyone needs a Fab and Ell in their life. Just a normal couple.
The behind the scenes of this video you showed us was a lot but the quality of this video is great 😊
You're so right about 1 being easier after twins. We had our twins first and now have 5 children. Baby into childhood stages were a breeze because we were PRO'S by then. Don't forget about the teenager stage though... that surprised us the most! We now have 3 teenagers and a tween all at the same time. Much harder than anticipated, lol!
Fed is best- I had one baby but could not breast feed well- tried for a month and then decided to stop; didn't realize how much I wasn't like myself until I stopped breast feeding. felt 100% better once I stopped breast feeding and let my body return to normal. Do what is best for your body and mental health- your children will benefit more from that!
"Relax and it will happen" Is the most relatable part of the video for me. Really appreciate it, needed to hear that and has actually made me feel emotional. Thank you 💖 wish you and your lovely family the most happiness and congratulations to you both 🎊 xx
Ell, not sure if you’ve heard about it, but that peculiar feeling that you feel when you breastfeed could be - Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) .. which is an abrupt emotional "drop" that occurs in some women just before milk release. I’ve felt this a few times!
The one thing I’ve always heard from mums is emergency c sections are crazy recovery but planned c sections are better recovery and also the fact you stayed active all pregnancy probably played a huge role in your recovery
Hello, I’m from the U.S. and I just found your channel and let me say I’m sure glad I did. Your two very lucky parents, the boys are beautiful. I look forward to Thursday now. Your two incredible people and your great parents. Your so lucky to have family around to help. Well, Merry Christmas to you all, what a great Christmas gift you received this year !!!
I really appreciate your honesty especially Ellen’s about her expressing journey. I don’t have children myself but it was one of my huge pet peeves when my sisters had children the amount of pressure put on them from the hospital! Congratulations to you both 💙💙 xx
You 2 are amazing! Truly, well done.!! I've breast fed 4, and bottle fed the first 2, and they are just as healthy! You're doing brilliantly! And the 2am night rows are universal for parents. 😆 God bless you.
I LOVE hearing about c-sections (good and bad) I had an emergency csection with my first, expected the absolute worst but was absolutely fine and had around 2 days where I struggled to walk far then was absolutely fine, fully healed within 2 weeks and did everything I normally would at that point. With my second pregnancy I had an elective csection because of my previous experience and went in assuming it would go like my first, except it was the complete opposite, everything went wrong and I took 10 weeks to heal! I love to hear everyone's experience because knowledge is key and it helps people in so many ways.
Love your honesty! Missing each others attention after having a baby is definitely something we've experienced too 😪 x
Love your videos, I’m 47 and I have twins that are now 25 and one of my twins are expecting twins xx
Two things, one take it from an experienced parent learn to nap during the day when the boys sleep. I didn’t with my oldest at first, the sleep deprivation will catch up to you. I think you already see it with realizing that you argue the most during the 3am feed when you are the most tired, it will only get worse. Two, Ell don’t let anyone guilt you into continuing to provide breast milk for your boys, if you feel like you need to stop. Fed is best, for any baby and so is a mother that isn’t killing herself both physically and emotionally trying to continue something that is to much for her to handle. The fact that you have given them a start with breast milk is amazing. The only advice I will give is don’t give up in a fit of frustration, if you get the feeling that you want to give up, think about it or 24 hours, because it is hard to go back once you stop, if in a few days you decide that you made a rash decision. The boys are absolutely beautiful well done you two.
I love listening to you guys talk and you are doing such an amazing job. Parenting is hard work but as long as you communicate and remember that your relationship comes first and that the best thing you can give your children is a loving example, then you all will thrive as a family. It's important, even if it's just for an hour, to have time as a couple to reconnect. Infertility is such a difficult thing. Having gone through 10 IUI's and then eventually being successful with IVF, I can relate so much. People telling us to relax was like a knife to the heart. We actually decided to have a sit down with both of our immediate families and close friends right before we did IVF to explain the process and what we'd be going through, with the hope of taking a bit of the stress off and telling them how best to help us. They were so appreciative, and when it worked they also had this sense of accomplishment. They knew not to ask questions during it and they trusted that when the time was right we'd share with them. Thankfully it did work but even if it hadn't, it would have been just as beneficial, if not more so. I encourage people to be open with the people they are closest too and who they trust. People don't know what you're going through if you don't tell them. Also, be open to their support because most people really want to be supportive and helpful. Anyways, you're doing awesome and the boys are already growing and changing so much. Having a baby during the holidays makes it extra special. I had my daughter at the end of October and it's such a wonderful time of the year.
Congratulations! You were just made to be parents! Always look forward to your videos! Your honesty will help so many there’s not enough honesty when it comes to parenting, every parent can relate to the struggles it’s just nice to hear x
Really love your approach to your relationship and the open communication you have going. ❤
