She's really down on herself. Her haul was about getting her self confidence back. She posted on Instagram about getting her self confidence back.

She never pegged me as the type to be so insecure.

[FLOSSY77]

She did this after Nolan too. Colby said in a video he wished she had more confidence. She posted a photo of her and Colby back when they first met. She looked like a lttlle vixen. lol

I just watched her adjusting to being a mom of 2 video and boy do these YT moms make it seem like it's really something to add another kid. Idk about you guys with multiple kids but I really didn't find much changed when I had my son. It hasn't been hard to give my daughter attention. Yeah I am more tired but all in all this has been easy.

She's not the only one but they make it seem like their worlds come crashing down as they know it to add another baby and they have to start all over. I guess in just lucky I don't feel like too much has changed.

Agreed! Drama queens! Did she think it would get easier? Yes it's definitely exhausting but in no way surprising. What I have actually found to be hard is when the youngest becomes mobile & now you have two running in separate directions. She always seem so anxious, nervous, miserable, sad or upset. Has anybody actually seen her smile or laugh?

Same here. I actually found it easier with each kid I added. Maybe because I spaced my kids out 3-4 years instead of 1-2 years apart like all the YT moms seem to do? Some people are cut out for multiple kids, others not so much. I never had any problem adjusting with adding a baby either time.

[FLOSSY77]

Yes. Drama queens. This seems a big deal with the perfectionist moms. The ones that thought they knew it all before having kids. Just add baby to the mix and chill. You can't rearange everything for baby. It's not realistic.

She always describes Nolen as rambunctious and overactive... I would think that she would have mentally prepared a bit more for how hard this was going to be considering that she always talks about him like he is a difficult child.. Add to that, the husband who works long hours, and I get that it is difficult for her. However, this was all information that she had going into this... As much as I like to look at babies and smell them (weird, I know!), I am self-proclaimed to be not the best mother to a newborn. Ultimately, I need someone to take care of my children for the first three months or so and then let me have them back. The stresss of the newborn time frame combined with the crazy hormones make me a mess and I see that same thing with her sometimes in her videos.

Also, I don't know that I would ever have described her as having awesome self esteem so this 'post baby' issue that she seems to be having doesn't surprise me. Hell, I was the same way. My youngest two are 4 and 2 and I am just now feeling like 'myself' again. It's all about adjusting to a new normal. Eventually things will fall into place. With her, I just always feel like there is a lot going on behind the scenes that she doesn't tell us about.

[FLOSSY77]

She just started to get back to taking care of herself before she got pregnant. I think it's still fresh in her mind.

[JennaLuvBug]

She also seems like the type that would be absolutely crushed if she made Nolan cry putting him in time out. Has she stated anything about punishment with him? That could be where his "craziness" comes from. Never being told no.
With my daughter who is also 2 there are no special craft boxes or closet full of "I'm nursing the baby" toys. It's just I'm nursing right now. You may get a book and bring it here or you can go play (with toys you already have) until I'm done. I felt that giving her "specials" wouldn't help the adjustment at all. And she's done fine without the extras. She knows this is new normal. I will ask her if she needs anything before I sit to nurse. (Milk, water, diaper ect) I'm way more laid back than these Yt moms though.

My two boys are both within a month of hers, and I can say that her video was almost spot on for me. Do I feel a need to make a video about how hard it is ? No.. But I'm not making any videos so. But yes, some days a are a breeze and others I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I think the only major diff is that I don't use screen time to distract my older only because when it's over, he throws fits and I think he's better behaved without it.

My second child fitted in like we had just gone to the store for a cauliflower. It was easy. Aaah....memories, she was such a fun baby. All blue eyes and smiles.

[ohaudrey]

Oh my second is amazzzzing compared to #1... But #1 is still a handful and I can't leave him in the same room with the baby, not even for a second. I was much more of an attachment parenting type with #1 than lll be with #2, that's for sure.

I have to hide my 4 week old from my 2 year old lol!

That shirt she's wearing in the Christmas picture from her haul... It's old lady looking to me.

[FLOSSY77]

Haha. It does look like a Grandma shirt. The worst thing about that pic is her and Colby. She looks like she is posing for Talbots and he looks bored. She should have scrapped that one and did one of the boys. She needed to watch Britney's diy ramble vlog.

[JennaLuvBug]

I didn't like it when she showed it in the haul. She was in love with it and all I could think was "really?"
Then I saw it on and yeah didn't change my opinion of it.

[ohaudrey]

Not a fan of her Xmas picture but she seems really happy with it. Her pose makes me laugh...

[JennaLuvBug]

Just watched Nolan's update. Holy cow she was not lying when she says he is rambunctious and over active. No wonder. Schedule does wonders for her and they HAVE to go to the park to blow off energy everyday. I wonder if it is something he needs a type of therapy for.

I'm not sure about getting a dirt bike for a 2 year old for Christmas but maybe he will become a famous rider one day.

[FLOSSY77]

He seems like every little boy I have met. I think he is adorable. My little cousin started on dirt bikes that age. It's pretty common. He competed in dirt bike racing once he got older. It was a great outlet and way to keep him in line with school work. Why not give him something he is passionate about?

[proudmama]

Colby had a vasectomy. I'm quite surprised because even though I understand why he did it, I feel like it was a bit soon. He had it done when Sawyer was just 3 months old. You'd think they would want to wait it out just a little longer to make absolutely sure they're done. Maybe they were 100% sure, I don't know.
