Steps to Wander: Natural Disaster

[actuallydear]

Does anyone know what Kelsey's bright yellow hospital wrist band says? All I could see was "RISK TO ______"

whine.

just kidding, it probably said risk to fall, because she had an epidural.

I know nothing, why do some people have their epidurals turned down for delivery? From what I can gather some women can't push effectively with the epidural. I have actually heard from people that the after birth is more painful than the baby. I wondered if it had to do with the pitocin they give to pass the placenta quicker causing more intense and painful contractions. I wonder if she was able to avoid the pitocin shot.

Okay l realize l am throwing myself in the fire here... l am a huge baby person so l hate to say it but that is one ugly newborn!! Also could have done without seeing 93% of Kelsey's breast. I get it's natural but they could've edited out the moments you literally see Kelsey's nipple. Katie is so classy and IMO sets the bar for other YT Moms. She breastfeeds Brooks (and used to breastfeed MG) exclusively and continues to do it a long time, yet doesn't feel the need to show the private moments and shove it in people's face. Buckle up people we are in for 1 year of seeing Kelsey's breast. Beige wooden toys and June playing with feathers and animal fur, then getting some sort of Appalachian berry tincture in leui of antibiotics when she gets first ear infection and is 101. Should be exciting.

That was my experience, I was pushing well, but just not hard enough to get my girl to crown. I also was having to go by the nurses cues to push bc i didn't have the urge. All that came back when they turned mine off. The afterbirth was BY FAR the worst pain of my life. Granted i had an epi for the more intense parts of labor (aside from the pushing) but it was worse than any contraction i felt or even my tearing as my daughter was born. I'm really not sure about the pitocen shot being what makes it worse, bc i had been on a pitocen drip for a few hours before delivery, I'm not even sure if they gave me a shot after birth or not. I had my IV in (group B strep positive so i knew before hand i had to get an IV, along with the pitocen given later) , so if they did, i never knew it. (unless they wouldnt have put it directly in my IV port and gave it too me as an actual "shot", in that case then no i didn't get one, bc i didn't get any actual shots after birth.

I haven't watched the full video yet but why is Kelsey just laying in the bed while missy and Corbin do everything with the baby?

Well, they are almost at 150K - and that was fast. They are still boring and the baby isn't that cute (sorry).

I understand why Kelsey was laying in bed, she had just had a baby. But it was odd that Missy was there partaking and filming everything while Kelsey was off to the side kind of out of it. I would imagine those are moments you'd like to share with your husband, the swaddling and the diaper changes. Instead Missy was narrating everything and interacting with Corbin more than Kelsey was able to. Maybe she was really tired and still out of it. It's funny to me that they're trying to describe their newborn's disposition like she's always going to be this quiet and easy going. Um, she's a newborn. Wait and see what happens.

Call me selfish but I was the first one to change both of my babies diapers. I did it in my bed. My husband got it the second time.

Kelsey's mom is soooo weathered looking. Based on Kelsey's age, Mom must be around 50, unless Kelsey is the youngest of 15 children or something. Maybe because she's so skinny, possibly smokes or spends a lottt of time in the sun.

[ewokfan11]

Did Corbin's parents or Kelsey's dad drive over to see the baby? I mean, they had about 4 days of labor to do the 8-hour drive from Idaho....

Juniper Is so cute

[Nothankyou]

Right now I think Juniper has a face only a mother could love. But most newborns aren't cute anyways. They are certainly precious though.

I'm cracking up about how chill they think she is. She's only a day old. She's exhausted from the birthing process. Give her time, she'll fuss and cry plenty. It's way too soon to know what her personality will be. Kelsey and Corbin are just first time parents in awe of their baby, there's definitely nothing wrong with that.

It was weird to me how much in the background Kelsey was, even if my husband was going to do swaddle or change a dirty diaper (lol no way), I would want to be more a part of it especially for my first child. Those bassinets have wheels so they could have filmed right next to Kelsey if they were so inclined.

I also laughed at the comments about how chill Juniper is. But I also didn't realize newborns were alert for a couple of hours before getting really sleepy until I experienced as a first time mom. Mine wasn't even awake enough to nurse for about 8 hours and I wish I had slept during that time. They really won't know how it is to care for a young baby for a couple of weeks...I've heard that first week or two referred to as the honeymoon phase.

Was her epidural still wearing off? They won't let you get up for a certain period of time.
Glad I dilated so fast! They turned off my epidurals, but it hadn't worn off by the time I was pushing. They had to tell me when to push, and my babies popped right out. All the hard placental delivery stories are making me very glad mine hadn't worn off!

Did anyone ever suction June's nose? She sounded soooo congested.

They are waiting for nature to clear it out. They don't want to intervene with an invasive rubber bulb

Corbin runs this channel...I don't think Kelsey has EVER had a real job. And Corbin is learning all about click-bait and faking drama from Bryan.

[HelloSweetie]

Even when Ollie was little it was Bryan's job to do the diaper changes. My guess is that Missy is training Corbin and Kelsey on how to do things their way.
