Apraxia can be developmental, but the most common cause is brain damage of some sort.
I wonder if getting stuck during delivery had anything to do with his speech. His poor little head was just so swollen.

If that's it, Missy will _never_ admit that there is a problem. They told her she needed to have a C-section and she kept trying to push him out her vag. She _had_ to have that vbac. And even then, it was all me, me me. _I_ didn't get the birth _I_ wanted.
She is one of the most selfish people I have ever seen.

It's painful to watch her talk. When she says, next, her tongue sticks outs. If he has to model that, oh lordy.
I quit watching because I could hear him trying to talk, they were like, we have no clue what that was.. but it was coming thru clear on my end. I raised several kids of my own and was a nanny.. but what do I know... Context clues, as my oldest says

Yeah I’m always amazed at Finns lack of speech. My daughter is only 3 weeks older than him and she speaks so much better than he does.

Ugh, she dragged out talking about his birth for months because she “wasn’t ready” and then when she did talk about she revealed exactly what you said above—that it wasn’t the birth _she_ wanted. So many people would sacrifice anything just to have a healthy baby, regardless of how it came into the world. Hell, Missy should be one of those people considering her miscarriages and Ollie’s birth!!! I know it’s an emotional time with hormones and all, but seriously, complaining months after the fact that she had to have a c-section instead of focusing on her baby was one of the first times I realized B&M were far from the people I first watched.

I believe when apraxia is due to brain damage, it would affect motor skills. His vocabulary seems fine and obviously so does his motor skills. I don’t think it’s due to brain damage, but who knows for sure.

I think there’s a bit of revisionism happening here about Finn’s birth. Or you’re just seeing what you want to see due to bias.

The biggest problem with Missy’s labour was her birth team. She had the shittiest midwives. They gave her castor oil on multiple occasions, for Christ’s sake. A couple of times once she was overdue, and two or three times just during labour to speed it up.
They also wouldn’t let her try nipple stimulation, saying that it would produce contractions that were “too strong”, and put her on pitocin instead. Which is blatantly false and actually the opposite.
They kept insisting that they could tuck his chin back in and that labour would progress normally once they got him in position.

Now, is Missy blameless here? Absolutely not. Everyone has a responsibility to be an informed advocate for themselves and their children. After everything she’d been through in the past, she had no excuse to be so ignorant on the topic. And if she had done even the bare minimum of research, she would have known that castor oil is not recommended and dangerous. The first time they suggested castor oil she should have fired them. Everything leading up to the labour was within her control, and she’s definitely culpable in the hiring an incompetent birth team.

But once she was in labour? Nope. Not holding her responsible for anything. All fault lay at the feet of her husband and her midwives.

She was in labour for THREE DAYS!

And anyone in labour for more than 24 hours has pretty much lost the ability to make sound decisions. Bryan dropped the ball and should have been looking out for his wife. He should have removed the rest of the Hollister’s and insisted on medical intervention.

Her midwives were incompetent. Christ, The fact that they let her labour for 36+ hours AFTER her water broke was proof alone that they were charlatans. She was at massive risk of infection after 18 hours. Any practitioner that would allow that without turning over care to an OBGYN shouldn’t have a license.

She wasn’t blameless, but everything that happened during labour was down to the midwives. I hope they sued the shit out of them behind the scenes and just never mentioned it.
And she has every right to feel traumatized by what they put her through. Because it was definitely a traumatic birth, with c-section disappointment being the least of it.

I still wonder what happened to the doula that was supposed to be her advocate. I hope Finn’s birth disaster made Missy finally realize why you don’t just “doctor shop” until you find someone willing to just do whatever your want. It can have dangerous consequences. Medical teams aren’t there to be your friends and cater to your feelings, they are there to keep you safe and give you the best care possible. This is why birth plans seldom go according to plan much to mom’s chagrin. It isn’t the birth team being difficult, it’s their unwillingness to sacrifice the baby (or mom’s) safety for any reason.

I don't remember her being in labor for 36 hours. But I am often wrong. They exaggerate too-- a lot. As I recall, she was counting some contractions that weren't regular and consistent as part of her "labor". I do remember her going too long after her water breaking, and them wanting to do a C-section and her saying she wanted to keep trying. And lots of food. When I was in labor, I wasn't allowed anything but ice chips, but whatever. Maybe things have changed.
I'm not going to go back and research, so I will take your word for it about the length of her labor. She fired her doula, didn't she, because she was telling her to walk more?
And I definitely agree that her birth team was stupid. After her labor had gone more than 18 hours after her water broke, they should have said they were taking her in for a C-section. And also agree that Bryan dropped the ball big time. All he was thinking about were views and people buying "Finn's Lullaby".

THIS! Exactly. Which is why Missy’s birth team was so awful.
They never once pushed for c-section. It wasn’t until the hospital staff stepped in that the ball got rolling for medical intervention.
I don’t know if Missy chose an incompetent team that she could steam roll, or if the midwives didn’t want to turn over care over billing/money disputes. But everyone in this situation was at fault here.
Shitty research before hiring, shitty midwives making recommendations in direct opposition to medical best practices, shitty husband and family not advocating on her behalf.
They all fucked up, and the results could have been tragic. It might have already affected Finn in ways we don’t even know.

That I will definitely agree with you on!

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly how long she was in labour because she complained that she was in “prodromal labour” for weeks *eyeroll*.
The best I can get from old tweets is that her water broke late on the 22nd, and he was born sometime on the 24th. So, her labour was 2-3 days, and her water was broken for at LEAST 24-30 hours. Again, difficult to pin point.
Either way, after 12-18 hours with a broken water, doctors start to be concerned about infection and uterine exhaustion, which can lead to hemorrhage.

Finn absolutely needs to see a speech therapist. I don’t say this lightly, but I think his speech (apraxia likely) is actually pretty severe. When he’s talking, his mouth does not move the way it should. It’s not a criticism of Finn, it’s just something they need to address now.

I’ve been SUPER Mia, but I just watched the video today for some stupid reason... and was greatly concerned with Finns speech, my son just turned 4, has speech issues, but we intervened early enough to correct it.
Finn, to me, sounds like
My son right before his 3rd birthday. Poor kiddo, I hope they know this can be corrected and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Early intervention is key.

Anyone else feel buying a new house is them escaping a foreclosure? To me there’s no other logical reason for them to buy a new house. That house is gorgeous and they put so much work and money towards it. They have room for another baby, all of that land, the pool, the chicken coup. I just don’t get it! Even Cullen and Katie admitted in their video that they’re moving partly due to finances. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is the case with them.

They are either just drumming up views talking about selling when they really aren’t or they are downsizing because of financial reasons. And I have a feeling the houses they viewed today were just for the video because those houses were really small and not their style at all. Downgrades definitely!

One of the homes that they looked at (the one with the pool) is $877k. So definitely looking at less expensive homes than the one that they are in now. That pool is actually much nicer than their current one.
