It's so beautiful to see 3 generations of your family celebrating ben's birthday... circle of life... this video has been so heart warming and lovely to watch. Lennon is so cute. Becoming a mother is something that really scares me for some reason, but seeing you so bravely go through all these changes and seeing all the love that Lennon has brought to your family, I don't feel so scared anymore. I send you guys love with all my heart

U don’t have to have children if u don’t want or have negative feelings towards it. My husband and I are 40 and chose not to have children (we fell in love at 30) and we are sooo happy and very content w our decision. Just wanted to throw that out there.

It’s normal to be afraid! Wether you do or don’t want a baby, it’ll come naturally to you. I’m 28 and my husband is 41, and we are trying for a baby. We lost 3 this year and now we have to wait until April.

Ngl teared up when Ben said that this was exactly the way he wanted to spend his birthday :') you have a beautiful little family and it was so sweet to see your family meet Lennon!

It's so heartwarming as a long-time follower to get to see you grow into this new chapter of your life🤍🤍🤍 (also, as an autistic person myself, I'd say "autistic people" is actually right. People in the community seem to prefer it rather than people "with" autism).

Wow! I was corrected by an Autism expert when I said "autistic person".

Dear Jenn, As a mother of 2 with little help, I was desperately searching for routine because I feel like it would help me make sense of everything. Order in chaos. In truth, every child is different and they are going through transitions just like you. Every 6 months or so, their routine will change. They will start sleeping longer at night at 6 month old, then God forbid they get sick, and boom, sleep pattern needs to be re-established. Just take it month-by-month, and read about their developmental milestones is what helps me the most. When they are teething, when they recognize faces and etc. This is the slowest and fastest journey rolled into one. Just enjoy the journey! Thank you for sharing some raw emotions about this phase of your life!

Yes. Your routine will change as his needs will change. I will never say "it gets easier"...it gets different. All stages of being a human is a challenge. As more people get involved in his life...schools, actives, etc. there will be a level of social dynamics that will be fantastic and so crappy as well. Social Media...I am so glad I did not grow up with this.

So wonderfully written @audrey. To play off of what you said, a parent's routine is ever-changing as the child develops, surpasses those milestones, and precisely what you mentioned, establishes more relationships with those that come into his life. It's challenging, stressful, and rewarding all at the same time.

As a teen, these vlogs teach me so much and really normalize motherhood, which is one of my dreams. Thank you for making it so accessible 🥰❤️

The part of the video when your grandma was describing how she made the shoes made me cry! My great grandmother recently passed away and it breaks me that she won’t be here for when I have kids. But it makes me so happy to see you have so much love and support! That little baby boy is so loved and cared for!!! Thanks for taking us on this journey with u Jenn 🥺🥺🥺🤍

5:55 to answer your question (as a mama of boys, a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old) A routine for us was able to develop when the little ones were able to get on a more steady sleep schedule, when their routine was more predictable. Around 3 months is when it happened for us with our first boy. (don't get me started on finding a schedule when you have 2! haha Still trying to figure that one out) You'll find your groove ;) You're such a good present, self aware, ever growing mama! The journey is part of the fun as hard as it may be! sending love and support for your little fam!

Yes, so sweet 🥰

I really relate to what you said about changing as a mother becoming less type A and more flexible. Kids really stretch you out to experience more and experience better in the moment and on the fly, it’s pretty amazing. I’ve grown so much as a human from those everyday challenges to slow down and be free in my day. I have five kids and I’m just a year out from my fifth baby, but in my early 30s. Rather than routine, I prefer the word rhythm. We have a rhythm to our day, filled with what needs to be done but not a specific time it needs to be done in and that helps us to be flexible, especially with homeschooling and having so many kids/baby. Babies’ needs and schedules change so often in the first year and as I’ve had more children I’m so glad I’ve not forced myself or my baby to follow a strict schedule. We nurse when baby is hungry, we nap when baby is showing signs of tiredness or falls asleep in the carrier, we work around baby’s needs which are all do-able in a baby carrier and they sleep longer, have easier access to breastfeed as I’m getting work done and taking care of other kids. It is easier now as nursing and naps happen less often after a year, it will probably be easier for you once you understand how long Lennon can go between naps to fit things into those periods, even when you’re alone. The sacrifice of certain routines we held previously are WORTH IT for the new rhythms we practice together. SO worth it. It’s that round trip thing you mentioned! I’m so glad you have your mom to help you and that you’re taking care of yourself so well mentally and physically in the fourth trimester. You prepared well, now enjoy your baby to the fullest as you already are! These days are long but months/years are so very short.

Thank you for sharing this! It gives me so much peace about the future. I'm confident that we'll get a rhythm eventually! x

As a first time mom, I think getting a routine comes with time. As the baby grows each month, each month I brought a few things back into my routine. The 4th trimester is just survival. Thank you for showing us Lennon. Hope you are doing well. Lennon is growing wonderfully. I'm glad you are taking time for yourself, mama!

Beautiful scene of your extended family. Mom of a 4yr old and a 2 yr old here - yes, you do settle into a routine and you change it every few months for the first few years with new changes (dropping naps, adding a sibling, etc.) sounds overwhelming but it’s not. I would absolutely say the hardest part thus far was the first few weeks with first baby. You seem to be very gentle with yourself which is great.

You’re so lucky to have Ben and your mom. My heart goes out to women who have to do this on their own. I can’t imagine how difficult that could be!

I’ve literally teared up watching you and Ben being so sweet together and the fact Lennon gets to grow up with parents who just genuinely love each other. Xoxo

This is so heartwarming to watch, Jenn! Thank you for sharing snippets of your life with your family. It's reassuring for those of us out there who are thinking of starting families of our own! Sending lots of love to you, Ben, and Lennon!

I love seeing you grow as a mom, Jenn. I have a 2 year old and it’s hard to say when I got back into a routine because our babies will always be changing, especially their sleep schedules and personalities. The moment you feel like you’ve got a routine down, it completely changes the following week or month and you’re back to figuring out what works for you, baby, and your partner. What helped me is accepting that i may never have my routine back & instead, learning that life is just about adapting. As long as I can incorporate some semblance of me-time in the day through journaling, meditating, moving, it helps, even if it’s not a routine & like you said, always give yourself compassion bc parenting is difficult and NO ONE has it figured out, we all learn along the way & enjoy the moments as much as we can bc they will never be this little again. As he gets older, you do get more sleep (and then they have sleep regressions later on but eventually they sleep through the night again) so that’s something to look forward to 😅 Best of luck to you and Ben, you are doing great and us moms have been there/going through it with you 🤍

Your baby is so cute and you are a beautiful and great mom💖

Jenn, I’ve been a follower since I came across your Clothesencounter channel because I just loved all your eye makeup looks then I began to love just being part of your community and watching you meeting Ben, moving back to LA, living through your long distance relationship with Ben, your engagement, vlogs, your book recommendations, travels, wedding.. now your growing family…. I don’t know why but I feel so proud to witness you going through life changes…. As I suspected you are doing amazing and you are very lucky to have amazing support around you! Best wishes and love!

i have been LOVING ben’s spilling the tea videos! kudos to both of you for continuing to challenge yourself and expand your reach despite having a newborn 🖤

This video brought me to tears! So sweet and heartwarming. I started following you as ClothesEncounters back in like 2010 and seeing where you are today makes me SO PROUD and happy for you!! I love how your family takes Ben in so earnestly, the beautiful dynamic you and Ben have with your Mom, and the love that surrounds yall in general. You can almost see it glowing! I especially loved seeing a lil extra Cheeki today! She's just so adorable. 🥺 I wish you all the joy and love in the world. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🥰

I always look forward to watching your vlogs each week Jenn. May you, Ben and Lennon stay happy and stay blessed for eternity!

It’s so good to see more of Lennon now and looking forward to see more of this little cutie! So blessed your mum and Lennon are taking shifts with you to help look after Lennon so that you still can have some free time to yourself! It’s just so important for mums to have ‘me time’. Loving the design of the tea packaging by the way!

Aww Jenn! Watching your vlogs is the equivalent of watching a feel-good movie. Love to see you, Ben, Cheeki, and baby Lennon doing so well 🥰

Jenn when you announced your pregnancy I couldn’t believe it because I relate so much to you. I personally don’t know if I want kids similar to how you were feeling when you found out you were pregnant. But watching you go into motherhood and become an amazing mommy gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world ❤️.

You're doing a wonderful job, Jenn. Lennon is extremely blessed to have you as his momma! Also still killing the vlog/video game 💪🥰

Jenn, you’re videos are so refreshing and help me keep thinking positive. It’s crazy how I used to watch you way back and now I have a little one like you. She’s almost 2 weeks now and she makes me so happy. I wish all the best for you😊

jenn's beauty is timeless. imagine being a great mom , lovable wife and a kind human being

The part where you talk about how you smell him on lennon and how him smell you on lennon and how cheeky can sense that made me teared up.it sounded like another definition for love❤️

You have such a way with explaining things I just love listening to you! You are doing amazing and having family help is such a blessing!! As you may know it takes a good few months to feel almost normal but it'll be your new normal and a new you and it'll be beautiful!

always so great seeing the IMs treat Ben so well as a member of the family! i mean celebrating his birthday with jenn's grandparents? come ON! how it should be!!

You’ll make such a great mom your personality is so caring and your always there for people-and your very thoughtful 💜been here since day one your account grew so much I’m so proud of you

Ben is so simple & appreciative. A new hat makes him so happy!! My heart warms

Just follow your babies lead and you will naturally find yourself getting into a routine 😌 sending love, it’s so heart warming watching you go into this new chapter and I love how you keep it realistic for the viewers 💕

There is such a sweetness in your family, I swear it brings me so much warmth just seeing you interact with everyone that is close to you. I don't know what it was but I started crying when your family came to see Lennon and how beautifully everyone molds around a newborn. God, I loved this video, thank you for bringing the experience of motherhood to the front and helping us see the realities and the life behind it:,)

Hi Jenn! I’m currently a FTM with a 1 month old newborn. I just wanted to let you know that your vlogs seriously have saved me, not only when I was going through my pregnancy but right now as well with postpartum life.

You’re doing such a great job with Lennon and you are an amazing mother, always remember that! Especially on the really hard days. Sending you, Ben and Lennon all the love 💙

This new life looks so good on you, Jenn! You are glowing and are killing it with balancing your own needs, Lennon's, and even Cheeki's. I'm so happy for you all :' )

Your routine will change every 3 months until Lennon is going to a pre school. So excited, i watched you since i was in uni, and now im a mom of toddler.

As a fellow dog mom, I'm happy to see Cheeki getting some quality time in this video :) This is kind of random but it would be so fun to see a 'day in the life' of Cheeki as a new sister video!

Always love your videos and appreciate how much work you're putting in, but also hope that you're taking time for yourself and your family as much as you need!

I am so grateful for finding your page when I did, you’ve helped me more than you’ll ever know and I am sending abundant prayers to you and your family!

Love how u guys manage your time and make sure you spent time with cheeky, chilling together.

I loved learning about that new word “matrescence” - really puts a nice clarification on that time. I feel like giving that time in your life a name gives it a sense of validity too. Maybe because everyone can relate to the strife that is teenagerhood 😂

Minute 13, you’re surrounded by the best and most loving people! So blessed!

Thank you for sharing your perspective with us! 💛💛

It was so thoughtful how you got Ben a gift for his birthday even when you guys are so busy with a newborn. You guys have a truly wonderful marriage. It is full of support and love.

Really love how you used person first and identity first language when describing the show. You don't realize how many people appreciate that!

Yes, you will! After the newborn phase you will establish a routine. I had a daughter this January and a toddler it is really tough but you will get through it! We can do this new moms!❤️💪

Why is this the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen😭 😭 😭 love you, your little family, and your videos Jenn 💕 just wanted to say that you’re doing a wonderful job transitioning life and you deserve the credits!!
