Hey Aspyn, I‘ve been a silent viewer since before your guys‘ first home, and I just wanted to commend you for keeping on going! It seems like things are not always easy but you still find a way to get through it and focus on the little things that matter everyday. I wish for you to have a happy, easy fun life where you get to be creative in ways that fulfill you and live in a place that inspires you. Obviously I only see tiny parts of your life through the vlogs, so my insight is superficial. But watching them feels comforting to me and I thought maybe sharing my thoughts could be comforting to you. I genuinely wish you all the best!

In Germany, co-sleeping with a baby is completely normal. Babies don't always cry at night just because they're hungry or have a stomach ache. They need the security of their parents, some children more and some less. For me, it was always the best decision because we all got the most sleep that way.

The fact that you even have the energy to get up and work out is amazing to me. You couldn’t have paid me a million dollars to do that when I was getting no sleep. Give yourself alot of credit.

I just have to say, as a long time follower and a pregnancy twin of yours, this has been the most relatable vlog I have ever watched of yours. My girls are all within a couple months of yours age-wise and I struggled right from the beginning of my motherhood journey. I have watched your content as a source of comfort and, not that I want any of us mama's to struggle, hearing you share some of the things you're struggling with baby girl, it just is so nice and relatable. Sending you healing and positive vibes! Speaking from experience, difficult newborns are really easy infants/early toddlers.

Elsa could be a good nickname for the vlog! It’s a princess name so I’m sure the little girls would enjoy it and she’d probably like it when she gets older and can watch the movies

Regarding breastfeeding, I just wanted to say hang in there a few more weeks if you can. My son was born a few weeks early, and was super fussy at the breast. I breastfed my first for over 2 years so I definitely wanted to do the same for this one but it seemed impossible. Sure enough when he turned 8 weeks old his facial muscles suddenly got stronger and he was able to suck a lot more milk out. I think babies who are born a little earlier are just more weak and sleepy at the beginning and will eventually get the hang of breastfeeding

I had a baby with feeding issues…also ended up cosleeping safely…nothing about motherhood went the way I thought it would. But. In the end it all worked out. It’s hard though!

I will admit, the moment you think you got your child's schedule down..BOOM.. they switch up the whole game, and then the cycle continues. You're doing great, Mama ❤

When we traveled we shipped a box and it was a game changer! Arrived to the Airbnb the day before and had clothes and random stuff we needed! Then we shipped it home the day we left. Pure bliss to not have to bring it to the airport!

I had my baby last month 8 weeks early and he’s still in the nicu. I’m exclusively pumping and I love it so far! Once you get on a roll it gets better!

Hi Aspen I love you rants honestly. It’s like your brain releases everything when you have 5 minutes to yourself lol . In regards to your back pain I can kinda relate after I had my 2nd child I legit wake up with back pain everyday still do and I remember when I was running 3X a week it would trigger numb feeling so I had to also change my workout routine . Per my doctor they told me to do a xray . Anyway love your videos . ❤

[MirandaM]

I co slept with my second cause he was the same, it’s all about safety and survival! Do what works best for you. Your doing good mama, I know you have a lot going on praying for peace and healing over your life💕

It’s crazy how similar your pregnancy and experience with this baby has been to mine. Although I’m a first time mom. I had a subchromatic hemorrhage during my pregnancy. My baby wasn’t gaining enough weight and I had to breast feed, pump, and give baby a bottle. She is now 8 almost 9months and has never been a good sleeper and still isnt. I am also not comfortable with cosleeping but it’s the only way she will sleep so I end up staying up all night and letting her sleep on my chest. She has gained good weight and loves to eat now but her digestion is a huge struggle still and she gets tummy aches easily. I wish I could share some wisdom but all I have is It’s hard but you got this!

[kristinwright]

love you so much thanks for still being here

[HazelsCatMom]

Love watching these again because I’m about to have a 34 week delivery and she’s looking to be around 5ish pounds. I’ll take all your tips and tricks ❤️

[katelynmcdonough]

As the mom of a preemie, I 100% relate to all of this. Thank you for sharing!

[sharonhughesjohnson]

She just wants to cuddle with mama, so sweet ❤

[sarahmarie]

I never wanted to cosleep
But my son man he was the worst and I caved. It honestly helped our breastfeeding journey! He would nurse and cuddle and wake up swap sides and nurse. Kept my supply up. And we got some sleep. At 9 months we moved him to his crib and he did great
