Also, I love the thought that Tiff said, "If I can trust God with my salvation, I can trust him to help me through this trial."

I was thinking the same thing. I loved that!

With Duke. WHen you are holding the baby...Don't try to keep him away...Let him lay at your feet, or beside you on the couch, while you are holding baby...LEt him be a part of the baby too. He may surprise you abd be very protective of the baby. He may always want to be near it.

this! I love this tip!!!

My husband was born on the side of the road in Spartanburg SC on a snowy Christmas morning. My husband was my mother-in-law's 6th child. They loaded the kids (4 children, the child before my husband was still born) in the car and got stuck in the snow a few yards down from their house. His father walked back to the house with the kids to call an ambulance and when he got back my husband had been born. They wrapped my husband up in his dad's shirt and waited for the ambulance to come get to them. Congratulations on your sweet baby. I know you are going to be great parents! ......By the way my husband ended up being one of 8.

Biggest piece of advice: tell yourself your due date is 2 weeks later. Most states allow you to go up to 42 weeks pregnant but then you have to get induced then. If you tell yourself your due date is at 42 weeks, any time the baby comes before then is a nice surprise! I had convinced myself that i was going to give birth around 38 weeks with my first. I was the first mama in my blood line on both sides of my family in 4 generations to go past 39 weeks, much less make it to my due date, much less go past my due date. I cried. A lot 😂 so with my second, i told myself my due date was my 42 week date and she came at 41wk + 6 days but i didn’t cry over going that late because i had already told myself that, that was “early”

Absolutely. Most first time babies are usually past 40 week delivery. I understand Mama’s feeling of wanting to be over being pregnant , but just try to enjoy the last few weeks. It’s such a special time.

I was given one piece of advice when i had my first, and it was: listen to everyone's advice, then do what you feel in your heart is the right thing. I had 3 in less than 3 years, no twins, and i followed that advice with all of them. They are now 30,30&32, and they are so close and i am extremely close to each of them

I couldn't agree more with this comment. Because I was told the same thing. Sleep while baby sleep. Take advice don't be afraid to ask for help when you need and it's okay to say that ýou need to take a 5 minute breaks when you're feeling a bit overwhelmed and that's ok it happens to the best of us ❤

Trouble sleeping: eat more protein (eggs and meat) and veggies. It sounds like you eat a lot of carbs, and they turn into sugar in your body. Do you want your baby to develop with a diet of sugar?

I was given the same advice. Just tell whoever is giving the advantage thank you I will take that into consideration but then do whatever you feel in your heart is right. Also take advantage of the nurses if you are doing a hospital birth (haven't watched yet so not sure hospital or home birth) I know you won't want to be away from your baby but get the rest while you can. Your baby will be perfect with the nurses may even get an extra bath.

So you have Irish twins.

I have 6 children. 4 biological and 2 adopted. I have 3 sweet babies in heaven also. ❤

The best advice with kids I was ever given was to enjoy every moment. The good, the bad, and even the ugly. Always remember they will only be this age once and that most stages are phases so take a deep breath pray for guidance and remember this too shall pass.

Your little baby bump is so sweet! I'm so happy for you guys.

My advice to you is don’t wake the baby up to feed bc they’ll let you know when they’re ready to eat. If you start, they’ll never sleep over night bc they’ll be up on schedule and that will go on until toddler age. I tried with my 1st and OMG it was horrible. My grandmother told me never wake a sleeping baby and with my other 2 they let me know. My boys listen to me and their wives were listening to everyone and they convinced them not to wake them up and they all thanked me for pushing it bc it’s already hard having to wake up all threw the night and breastfeeding. Congratulations and I’m so happy for y’all.

I agree with this! I did the same with my first. Followed my pediatricians advice to wake our baby every three hours, and it took forever to get her to sleep through the night. With our second and third, I followed my MIL’s advice who always told us to let them sleep and feed them when they wake themselves, as long as their on the right track with growth. My last two did so well with sleep right from the beginning. Congratulations to you both! Hope this is helpful.

that totally depends on the baby's birth weight.... if above 5 lbs there should be no issues, but below 5 lbs babies do need to be woken up to eat

When you are still - baby is active. When you are moving around - you are rocking them to sleep! You will SO miss the kicking once baby is born.

This was so fun! It would be adorable if Baby Bates was born on Lawson's birthday.

When my son was born, when we brought him home, he brought treats from him to the dogs. They loved him from second one. 10 years later, he's still their favorite person in the universe.

​@mommaA505 and so did Lawson

I have been married for 35 years to my wonderful husband. We had a camper for weekend and vacation trips. We had a playpen in the camper. Whatever you enjoy you make it work. It was some of the best memories!

I am 31 weeks now and my biggest struggle was Hyperemisis Gravidarum in 1 at tri & beginning of 2nd. I had it with my 3rd & lost 20 lbs, but with this one, it was a whole other level. It got down right scary cause we don’t have insurance and couldn’t afford to go get IV (not able to drink water for 4 months), but Jesus. He met me in the biggest most profound way in securing my hope in Him like I have never before. The most beautiful sunsets come after the rain, or most beautiful rainbows come after the storms.❤

When baby comes home don’t try to be quiet around them, just keep noise the same as usual. So baby will be used to noise and not wake up to normal sounds in your home

I love the radiance in you both. You will be great parents. Your baby will have the best set of grandparents on both sides. I love you both. I pray for healthy baby and safe delivery and speedy recovery for mom.

So fun hearing you two just naturally talk. You can tell how excited you are for your little cowBate.

SIDE NOTE: Tiffany is STUNNING❤ LIKE REAL TALK😭💕💕

The best advice I ever got was from my mother, she said everyone is going to give you all kinds of advice, and the best thing you can do with that is take it in one ear mule it around and decide if it is something you want to consider, if not let it go out the other, try what you want and go from there.

Tiffany you look absolutely beautiful, you are glowing! When I was pregnant I always looked tired. You are doing amazing. You also in your podcast seemed so wise, you are going to be a great mom. Lawson coming from your wonderful family I have no doubt you’re going to be a great dad!

Time is the best thing you can ever give your little ones.

There is a I Love Lucy episode of Ricky getting Lucy to the hospital. Don’t mess that episode. We are so happy for you two.

- Tiff, you just do what you want/need. ❤ Sometimes there’s a lot of pressure put on you by family, friends or doctors. - I have 4 kids and I was induced with all 4. Some by choice, some for health reasons. I breastfed 2 kids, but not the other 2. I just had to do what worked for me & my family at the time.. and everyone’s healthy! I never let anyone pressure me into something I didn’t feel comfortable with. Ps- pregnancy insomnia was a killer for me every time 😭🥱

Love you guys so much!! Tiffany is so beautiful and glowing. My mom was pregnant with one of my brothers. She kept going to her doctor saying she thought it was time and he kept saying not yet. By the time she was ready, she didn't make it to the birthing center she had planned to go to. Her mom and grandmother were with her and helped deliver my brother on the side of the highway.

The cutest little baby bump EVER!!!!

I am thrilled for you two♥️♥️. I love you both, and part of the fun of raising children, is learning as you go! I will keep up with your baby journey🌹

To prep for the possibility of having two genders in one nursery, you can use neutral colours for the base (furniture, walls, etc.) but decorate with your colour of choice with things that can be easily changed out later (blankets, wall hangings, and such).

So excited for you both and please trust that natural instincts kick in immediately , you will know what to do with your baby and for your body ❤

Tiffany you look amazing. Lawson you will be the sweetest, best dad. What a blessed little one to be born into your lives. 😊

Prayers to you during this exciting adventure!!! You are both going to be the best loving parents ever!!!! ♥️♥️

Pregnancy is kind to you, beautiful mama.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope everything goes well for you two. Can't wait to watch the gender reveal. I have an inkling that you're having a baby boy. 😊

Tiffany! Your bump is so precious! I also dealt with insomnia in pregnancy, mine was more so in the mornings - I would wake up at 3-5am and not be able to fall back to sleep. I remember hearing that you can still “rest” even if you’re not asleep so I would just lay in bed and pray, put in an earbud and listen to the Bible, just allow my body to rest even if my mind was awake.

Tiffany’s baby bump is so cute she is glowing I can’t wait to meet baby bates soon!❤😊

So excited for you guys! Thank you for sharing this journey with us 😊

Such a great Q & A guys, thank you for sharing, you are both so articulate and well expressed. I loved learning of Lawson's personal preparation strategies especially. So good to hear guys openly talking about focussing on their mental health in any situation.

I have horrible insomnia this time, restless leg syndrome, not bad morning sickness. Just thankful for every stage. 🎉 So happy for you guys and glad everything is going well.

So excited and happy for you guys. I love you guys and your vlogs. The way you listen to and support and love each other is amazing and sweet. I love how you put family first. You're going to be the best parents and are already a wonderful role model to your baby and your you tube family. I pray your pregnancy continues to be good and I'm excited to hear what the gender is. You guys are amazing and your vlogs make me smile. Congrats.

This was a fun video ❤ and congratulations 🎉 and I bet it’s gonna be a BOY !! Looking forward to your reveal and name announcement

Just love that baby and do what you think is best. I started talking (not baby talk) to both of mine from day one, and as they got older, letting them explore everything. Talking to them leads them to learning, and those little guys are sponges believe me. That was the best advice I got from my Dad. Be consistent with everything. Don't do or say one thing, then turn around the next day and allow what you corrected the next. If you start day one, everything goes smoothly. You will know your babies better than anyone else so in the end its your call. Love and God Bless Y'all

Beautiful Video God Bless you both ❤🙏 I wish you both a healthy baby !
