I am currently 21 weeks with my first & rainbow after 3 miscarriages and 6 years of infertility. This also helped answer some of my own questions! We found out we are having a boy. We are so blessed and thankful to the Lord for making us parents. We can’t wait for this next journey.

How very thoughtful 🥰

I lost a baby in October 1st 2021 after caring it for 12 weeks. The doctors told us it’s heart stopped beating after six weeks so I’d caring it for all those weeks without knowing what was going on😞 It was heartbreaking for us💔 But God blessed us with our rainbow baby🌈🙏🏻 He was born exactly one year after my loss in October 1st 2022❤

I lost my 27.5 year old daughter 12-24-21 to Metastatic breast cancer. Her identical twin just had her first baby 11-27-23. God's timing is perfect. My daughter had an epidural and was so thankful for it. ❤

Our 6th child was born on December 21st. She's turning 10 this year, and so far, her birthday being so close to Christmas has not been an issue. We are very cognizant of keeping her birthday celebration and gifts "equal" to what her siblings have. Family gives separate birthday and Christmas gifts to her. Be encouraged! It can still be very special for the child:)

I’m glad your birthday was recognized. One of my friends was born on Christmas Eve and never had a cake or presents. So sad.

Jessa, my birthday is December 19th and I never felt overlooked until I was a teenager/young adult, to which getting one gift for the two events doesn't matter to me. It's always about who you surround yourself with :)

This is a great video! I love your explanations and openness. I think it is great that you are “managing your blessings.”

I recently heard someone say “if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plan!” I’m so happy for y’all!!

What a gift Jessa. God does restore us and sends us signs through dates and times. This is beautiful ❤❤❤

Jessa you have grown into such a beautiful lady, person, Christian and soul. God Bless, love your family ♥️

Thanks for the baby update. My granddaughter was born on December 18. We always say she was the best Christmas present ever. Can’t wait to hear your birth story and see your precious baby from God.🙏🙏✝️

Love the baby update videos! Congratulations to you and Ben. I hope the delivery is easy breezy as well as your recovery. Can't wait to see the birth video, if you do one!!

Love your honesty and heart! You and Joy are my favorites! Such sweet families.. I am going to guess a boy. 🤔 Praying all goes flawless! ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'm expecting my first grandbaby April 6th and we are all so excited! I got to say though, I only had 2 girls they are 21&22 now.. but out of all the phases, them moving out was by far the hardest even harder than the teenage years phase.. it's bitter sweet though..I love seeing them become young adults staying their own families and putting all the things you taught them into use..

I agree with what you said about not being in a good place to make the decision of more kids when you are pregnant or postpartum. I was scheduled to have my tubes tied after my third. I changed my mind right before and so glad I did. 5 years later we welcomed our first daughter into the world. I’m so glad I waited.

My epidural stopped working lol but those were some very nice hours when it was.

What a wonderful philosophy for raising and bringing children into the world! Congratulations and Merry Christmas, Jessa and family!

Say it louder for the people in the back! I really appreciated your answer on the “number of kids” thing - I come from a family of eight kids and everyone wants to know whether I want a big family too. Loved what you said about responsibly managing the blessing - basically, we want as many as we can, reasonably, handle. I’m going to use your reasoning in your answer from now on!

It is so neat to hear your experiences of home birth vs hospital birth and natural birth vs epidural. There are so many pros and cons no matter what a mom’s experience ends up being, but it is so neat to recognize the benefits of each experience.

I am humbled by your every video, sweet girl! I love the traditions you've made your own with your family and I feel these things are sacred and I love the anticipation of YOUR births! The birthday weeks for each child so they know they are each well-loved and special. The story of this amazing masterpiece you've created after the loss you endured with the last sweet little baby truly solidifies the grace and goodness of God. I'm of a very different faith yet I feel all the special emotions you feel for God and his blessings. Still...someone in Georgia holds you close in their every prayer and loves you all. 🙏🤲🎄🩵

I’m due with my third baby on Dec 28th!! I have all the same thoughts about not wanting it to be that close to Christmas but ultimately I know we’ll figure out how to celebrate and make sure this child’s birthday is just special/separate from the holiday. 🎄

This was very touching and emotional to me. I lost a baby on Dec 19 2016. I just had my 4th miscarriage on Oct 27th, im thankful to God for the children I have, but after having this miscarriage i can't help but feel we need one more to add to our family, even though we already have 8, it just feels like there is someone missing. Looking forward/hopeful/trusting the Lord for another rainbow baby. Its amazing how the Lord works everything out! So excited for your family and praying for you and baby.💕

Thank you for sharing. I always look forward to your videos. Im excited for you guys and the new baby.

To me it illustrates the love, kindness and goodness that God has toward us.♥️ I think of Romans 8:28. Praying for a safe delivery❣️ P.s. Your Christmas tree and decor look beautiful. Love the fireplace area!🤩

My husbands birthday is Dec.26, he always felt like he was gypped out of birthdays.. But when we were married I and my family always tried to celebrate his birthday aside from Christmas, I know you all will celebrate this baby even though it will be close to Christmas.. God bless.

Congrats! Excited about this rainbow baby! 🎉 I have 4 kids. The 2 1/2 year age range between kids was the sweet spot for us! Perfect age difference.

Jessa I just realized I have the same animal ornaments as you! 🦔 🦉 So cute! I had a baby born on Christmas Day and it brings a whole new meaning to the Christmas season! We are going to celebrate her half birthday in June as she gets older so she has something to look forward to mid year.

It has been wonderful to follow you and Jinger on KZread. You both love the Lord and you let the Bible guide you, not someone who is a blatant false teacher.

My oldest (who was actually a double rainbow baby!) was born on 12/24. We didn’t know his gender. So delivery was like literally being a kid at Christmas knowing you are about to get the greatest gift ever but you don’t know what it is! I feel like delivering at Christmas helped me feel more connected to the actual Christmas story! What we do each year is turn our Christmas tree into a birthday tree and put balloons all over the tree for his birthday.

I'm so excited for y'all!! Praying that you have a fast, uncomplicated delivery and everyone is healthy and happy ❤

Congrats! Love hearing all of your experiences. You always strike me as self-assured and confident yet humble and kind. I enjoy your videos, and your kids are always so cute! Love the Christmas tree, too! Best wishes for a safe delivery!

I pray you have an easy delivery and a healthy baby!❤🎄

Thank you for the update! Always love and appreciate you sharing your life, thoughts and experiences with us. 🩷

Congratulations Jessa! Praying for a smooth, healthy, and quick delivery!

Such good advice, don’t make any permanent decisions in regards to more kids during the postpartum phase, it’s so hard at that point and easy to say no more, but I also always change my mind later on. After our 4th we agreed to wait until after the first birthday to make any decision on more.

So glad you’re feeling well! I’m 30 weeks with our third and last baby and I’m so ready to meet him/her! We never find out the gender so it’s been fun in the delivery room. Praying for a smooth delivery and transition home for you all! ❤

God knew you needed a gentle reminder, on that date, that He cares for you. Merry Christmas, Jess and family.🎄😍❤️

As a L&D nurse I can honestly say I enjoy working on Christmas as it’s very special!

i teared up with you, my first rainbow baby was also due the same date as our last loss. Our pregnancy center said they actually see that more often than you think. Schedule wise it may feel chaotic but how sweet is a christmas baby to relate you even closer to the spirit of that first christmas birth 🎄 oh man this postpartum contractions wahhh worse than labor IMHO…..i down the “after ease” like clockwork right after delivery to help. and supposedly warm drinks/food (instead of cold) are supposed to help with them also but i can’t vouch for that.

You really know how to answer a question you did real good at it bless you on the delivery I hope everything goes smoothly I love listening to you you are great you do a good job thanks for being there

Thank you so much for sharing your pregnancy journey with us! I love your perspective on it all. Very encouraging.

Prayers for a safe and quick delivery. ❤

how exciting!! My first 5 babies were inductions with epidurals. For my 6th I had a home birth. It was my favorite birth! For my 7th baby born 7 weeks ago, I went with a natural hospital birth. It hurt a lot more and I didn't cope as well. I don't ever want to get the epidural again, I really prefer recovery after natural delivery and feeling more in control, but the pushing without an epidural is wild! Praise the Lord I have forgotten the pain each time. I remember it being painful and hard but don't remember the actual pain thankfully!

My husband and I found out what we were having and kept it a secret from everyone, it was great! We were able to pick a name on our own without people trying to input their opinions.

As someone born on Dec 22 I love my birthday. Just separate birthday and christmas gift when they are young. That is super important! As I have gotten older it is fun to be able to combine to get one big gift. It is hard to do birthday parties but that is why we did them the week of the 10th or in early January with friends. If you explain that the goal is to have most friends possible at the party they will understand! God Bless you and your family!
