the birth of our daughter

our birth vlog labor and delivery! At 41 weeks pregnant, my hospital birth started by induction, and took 60 hours ending in a c section delivery. It was emotional and such a rollercoaster, but we are so overjoyed to have our sweet baby girl, Grace, here with us now.

About Sierra and Stephen IRL
Hey friends! I’m Sierra Schultzzie and this is my vlog channel with my husband, Stephen. We started vlogging 4 years ago to document planning our wedding and growing together as a young married couple, and the channel has now really become our passion project. We love creating travel vlogs, disneyland vlogs, showing behind the scenes of creating my fashion videos, and all the little ups and downs of our unfiltered, real life. We also shared our journey trying to concieve and are now so happy to be sharing our experience with pregnancy and becoming first time parents.

When I heard steven’s voice quiver saying there’s our daughter I started to cry this was the most magical thing I’ve ever seen

Ugh, Stephens love for Sierra is so apparent and just so, so lovely. What a beautiful family. Congratulations!

[rachelhines]

As soon as I heard Steven say, “There’s our daughter” I LOST it. So happy for you both and little Grace is beautiful. Truly a blessing!

As someone who has watched Sierra for almost 5 years (I have gotten married, struggled with PCOS and also had a rainbow daughter all around the same time as You) it has been an honor watching y’all and your special life milestones. Such a beautiful couple, amazing baby girl and strong mama! I’m so incredibly happy for y’all 😭❤️

[EmilyBrown]

Absolutely sobbing at this. I have PCOS as well and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years. I got my first ever positive pregnancy test this morning! I am hopeful it will end in a healthy baby and watching this vlog gives me so much to look forward to! Congratulations on your gorgeous little one!!

[CarrieDayton]

This was beautiful. SO beyond proud of you, friend. And SO happy for you three 🥺💞

[PeaceRose]

omg when stephen said "omg there's our daughter" IMMEDIATELY BURSED INTO TEARS LIKE THAT WAS MY BREAKING POINT
it came so real that it was finally happening!!
i'm so so happy for you guys, completely over the moon.
i've followed many family vloggers through the years and i've never seen a birth story like yours, it's so special and it's such a rollercoaster all at the same time but it was absolutely perfect and JUST how it was mean't to be <3 you guys didn't skip over anything and truly showed the realistic side to this. she's safe and here and that's all that matters,
were so so proud of you sierra, it's all you both deserve🥺🥺❤️

[serenajae]

I’m so emotional. I gave birth 5 months ago alone due to Covid and my sons dad not wanting to be involved. Hearing Stephen say “I am forever proud of you” brought me to tears. Congratulations to the both of you on your beautiful daughter 💕

[Living_a_spoonie_life]

For the young girls/women watching this, this is what a good, loving man and healthy relationship looks like!

Congratulations, Sierra and Stephen! I wish you a lifetime of wonderful memories with your beautiful daughter. ❤

[hannahengelbrecht]

I’m literally a 19 year old girl but I’m balling my eyes out here. I’ve followed you for years now Sierra and I’ve always had confidence issues and you’ve taught and helped me so much. ❤️ Little Grace is so beautiful and you Stephen and Grace deserve a world of joy, I’m so happy you’re all safe and all went well ❤️ please never stop doing what you do cause even if you may not always realise it you make such a difference and you’re such a strong amazing example for girls and women everywhere. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

I just want to say what an absolute privilege it is to be included in such important life moments of Sierras and Stephens life, especially as a long time viewer. It’s been really amazing seeing them get married, buy a house, car, and all the ‘growing up’ stuff- they are literally like role models/guides to me. Anyways don’t want to rant to much, but thank you S&S for sharing a part of your navigation through life, and congratulations! Can’t wait to see what this new chapter brings.
