I think they saw something on ultrasound that needed to be looked at closely by a high risk specialist. While it seemed like it was just a short amount of time they would be seen by this doctor. To me I wouldn't term her pregnancy high risk before she started having preeclampsia symptoms. I think the high risk doctor was going to release her from his/her care shortly after their last app with them. To me a high risk pregnancy is one that's been managed full time by a high risk OB. Not all of the pregnancy just after the issue is found.

I really couldn't stand them when they used clickbait about the baby's health and used the video to whine about money even Kalyn was doing it. At the time they had a healthy baby. It angered and hurt they were complaining about money when 1, they were so lucky to be pregnant and had it handed to them (speaking of the IVF not their journey) and 2 their daughter was healthy and doing well at the time.

I also can't stand the constant requesting of handouts its just weird. I also don't believe they purchased that house considering Robert does photography and does something with recruiting foster parents (I have no idea if the latter is a paying position) and Kalyn worked in a day care and we all know that pays very little. Now look at the house. It just doesn't match what they have coming in. And there's no house in that county under their name. They've spoke about expanding it so I know they're not renting it. So that leads me to believe one of their parents bought it or perhaps it used to be a grandparent's house.


Maybe they are doing some kind of rent to own agreement on the house. Or maybe the owner of the house is doing owner financing. I hate when they ask for things. Drive me mad. I couldn’t stand when they used the pregnancy babies health for clickbait. I hated that and now look.. she’s been born early and in the NICU.
I thought of that too, but with what they do it still doesn't fit with the size of the house. Houses are so expensive in that area that house could be 150,000 and I don't see them with the money they have coming in being able to afford it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I think I remember them saying when K saw the house she knew she wanted it right away. I believe he said it was in their price range. Who knows with those two.

Wow that sounds amazingly cheap! House in my area are more like $550,000-1.2 million. Two houses on my block are a little over a million because they have pools and lots of nice trees.

Daycare workers get paid fairly well in NZ, I think $25ish an hour? They train like school teachers. Well that is a high wage to us as we are very low income anyway.

Here day care teachers don't have to have a college degree, it varies. In the US you can make about 9.67 an hour or 24,413 annually. That's before taxes. And I don't think Phil makes that much. Remember I did not find a record of their home in their name so I believe a family member purchased the home for them. A house in that price range just doesn't fit their income. I get why they'd want to act like it was theirs if my family was floating me I'd be embarrassed too.

The houses in my area are quite expensive too because of supply and demand. There's a house for sale 2 houses down from us and it's going for 700K it looks and feels the same as K and R's house. It's a lot nicer on the inside I am speaking about square footage wise. Schools in our area are very good and the crime rate is very low. So it's very sought after.

Robert and his pain olympics. It has been on steroids lately. Especially yesterday and boy does he lay it on thick.

They come across so weirdly, like they just have this daughter as a great way to make money off YouTube.

Yeah they were pretty normal before IVF and pregnancy. Then Robert would grab the camera when Kalyn wasn't there and have his rants. It was a major turnoff. They'd want to keep things positive but they have such high opinions of ytuber families who are just off. They like every comment but only reply to youtubers who have high subscription numbers (theirs is just 13K) they wouldn't read the comments because they even liked comments where the commenter thought they had different careers and the comment made zero sense. Then they'd go to other channels and talk with those ytubers who have higher numbers. This entire pregnancy they've had clickbait titles. It's crazy. I don't believe that formula is working for them.

They got married in October 2012. Their ttc journey by comparison to the average IF couple wasn't that long from marriage to baby. Weight can cause issues with sperm so that most likely wasn't helping. I know Kalyn also had issues as well. They pretty much hit the lotto with the wife of their fertility doctor telling him to help them. A lot of IF couples are on their own. And I was pretty turned off by them going to another couples channel saying they should enter the E & J contest because that couple were already parents 2x over to 2 under 2. It doesn't matter how they became parents the fact they are and thought they should enter was just nuts to me.




They started dating in April 2011.

They have always replied to my comments and I'm a random nobody, so they at least USED to read them (I haven't commented for a few weeks).

We took 8 years to have our first baby, so I agree with you on that front.

They are just so...odd!! I can't put my finger on it. Money grubbers for sure.

Sometimes they do, most they don't. They do go and like every comment though which to me is weird. I'm so very sorry about your long journey to baby. I've been in/am in that boat myself.

I think there's a formula for successful youtubers. I don't agree with it but one of them is their odd behavior does count against them. I can easily find two videos where Robert is ranting about something juvenile. And that stacks against them.

they are clearly people who joined youtube in hopes to be able to make money or get money from supporters by sharing a sob story that millions of other people go through on a daily basis and keep their story off the internet. if people think the exploiting of their situation is bad now just wait till the kid turns 1 years old where we see them go all out for her birthday and there's a sad clickbaity thumbnail for us to click on where they are both in tears so they can once again share the story........then find something else to ask their subscribers for money for.

I agree. They joined youtube in 2015 just 3 years after they got married. I have seen a lot of IF couples (I've been 1/2 of one from 2004-2012 and from 2014 through the present) It seems like the ones who have only been trying a few years wanting to play the pain olympics. I think Robert is the one who really lays it on thick. And the first video they made about their fertility journey they mention all the channels they'd followed that gave them the idea to make a channel. Daily bums is one, Cullen and Katie is another and E&J. Not saying everyone needs to be perfect but it was a very awkward video and should've been edited 3 min in it's like seriously!


Then they claim they couldn't find people on youtube that were in the same situation (back in 2015 BS!) and now they claim that their nicu stay and a preeclampsia complicated birth isn't really seen on youtube which isn't true either.

I think some newlyweds who are trying right away get a little too involved and put all their energy into trying etc. And I think that causes issues in marriages.

You put it well. Every time I watch them, I get this feeling that they want freebies and donations. Maybe they saw how YouTubers seemed to get everything for free and decided to try to jump on the bandwagon. I'm just not going to watch them anymore.

1 month update vlog. Not sure what it is but Kalyn flubs a ton. Not much has changed from their first IF video to now. If you want to be somewhat successful at least try and make a watchable video. These constant flubs and having no real idea how to clearly explain simple procedures are part of their issue. She had no idea how one test was done she actually thought the fluid was put in rectally. Um no if their checking for blockages they would look at the whole system so it was given to her by mouth.

No it was a barium enema - they insert dye in through the rectum. I do agree though, she does flub a lot.

Omg these people. I can’t watch them. I’ve been following the Instagram but haven’t tuned in to YouTube. No thank you. Once Magnolia gets home I’ll probably watch that one. Other than that I’m done.

People spoke up when they announced they were throwing themselves a baby shower. In fact Robert made a whole separate video ranting about people complaining. It was like seriously dude grow a pair. I'd be so embarrassed to be his wife.

I was trying to follow them, but when they started not-so-subtly hinting at wanting money and gifts, I just couldn’t anymore. And maybe this is petty, but I find it so cringeworthy when they call each other “lovebug”. I think it’s because they just seem so fake to me. They acted like they were these huge, popular youtubers when they just weren’t. Like they got too big for their britches. I don’t agree that any youtubers really deserve the money and gifts that they get, but to just be starting out and expect that and so blatantly beg for it is just...yuck. They just leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I recently came across this couple and checked to see if they had a thread here. Has anyone seen the live baby shower they did today? I just started watching it. At 2:35 Robert gets pissy because people didn’t “follow the rules” and buy only from their amazon list. :? Some of the comments that followed in the live chat...
