Day in the life with a Newborn | Natalie Nicole

Hi guys, what's up? It's Natalie. Welcome to or welcome back to my YouTube channel. So I thought it'd be fun to bring you guys along for the day. This is Arabella's first like outing, outing like fun outing and not going to the doctor's, so I want to document it. So today we are going to go get smoothies. Maybe go to Carter's and walk around. So yeah, let's go. Outfit, these are from Shein. This is from Shein. This is my maternity outfit, but it still fits. And then Chanel, and then I don't know, Steve Madden. She's sleeping. Okay, so we just got home and we had some lunch. She's sleeping in her crib right now, but we just got a package from my aunt and these are real flowers. Are you guys dying? Because I am. I want to put these in the nursery, but I also don't want to wake her up, and I also want to show you guys what we got today at the mall. Okay, first thing we got— this might be her Easter dress, I don't really know. It's newborn. I can't find any dresses that are newborn for Easter that are like really, really cute. We got this one at Carter's. This might just be her dress. Next thing we found was this little set jumper. I like the tan color. It'd be cute with like a little bow. Next thing we got, she needed like more like pants, so Sam picked out these like little shorts. They look pretty big though. I don't know if they'll fit her. They're newborn though. But there's pink ones and then there's like these underwater, like sea themed. He also thought we needed more onesies, like plain onesies. So we got her some of these. Super cute, it's a 5-pack. And then I found these pants because I like when she's in pants, she's not like super cold. Um, got pink, and then these are the same exact ones but they have like ruffles in the back and they're gray. So I definitely have to do laundry today, so I'm gonna wash all of this. I think also I'm going to plan a trip to my mom's house in South Florida. I think we might stay for a week, me and Arabella. Sam has to go back to work on April 4th, which is kind of a bummer because he's helped me so much. So I think I want to plan like a week down at my mom's house. I don't know, I'm— I don't know. I want to be with my family and I want to be with my mom, so I think this like a little vacation will be really good for me and Arabella. Plus it'll be like her first official, like, a little getaway, um, which should be fun. I also have a Justin Bieber concert in Miami I'm going to, so I'm so excited for that. Me and my sister are going. I might vlog it, I might not, we'll see. But yeah, I'm like super, super excited. So far Arabella has been so good. Um, I'll show you guys kind of what my stomach looks like one week postpartum. But so far she's been like a really good baby. She has like her moments where she'll cry for a little bit and then be completely fine. Like after we feed her and change her, she'll like cry, especially like around 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, which is so weird because that's like when we get back in bed and like it's time to go to sleep. So I don't know if she has like her daytime and nighttime kind of mixed up, but I really hope this is like a little stage that she'll like overcome or something. If this happened to your baby or you know someone that has gone through this, let me know how long this lasts. I'm gonna talk to her pediatrician because I don't think she's colicky. Like, she does not cry in the middle of the day. That's the weird thing. She just cries at night, and it's not all night, it's just for like an hour or two. But yeah, it's just for like an hour or two at night, and it's— it— she like screams, and we just like don't know what's wrong with her. So I think we're gonna ask her pediatrician what he thinks. I really like her pediatrician, he's like super nice, super calm, so I'm going to see what he thinks. But yeah, normally when she's sleeping, Sam and I will either watch TV or do some laundry or something. I'm just so tired. We went to the mall today and the walking— I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like stitches, when you get stitches down there, it hurts a lot when you walk. And I'm— I feel like I'm healing really good, but I feel like when I walk a lot or like I do like a lot of going stairs, like up and down the stairs, because we like live in a 3-story house. I feel like that's when I'm like super sore, so that's kind of why I'm just like chilling downstairs right now, literally in bed. She's sleeping. I like how our, our like doors are connected so I can hear her. But yeah, that's basically what has been going on today. It was kind of like a really chill day. We were gonna go get her birth certificate today, but it turns out we needed an appointment, so So I have to go Monday to go do that. So should be fun. But yeah, a little update for you guys. Last update, I promise. Last thing I want to share really fast is we got this app and it's called Nara Baby. It's right here, the white one. And it is literally the coolest app because you track your baby's last feeding, last feeding, and then you can track— you can track like dirty diapers as well, which is so nice because I'm a person that forgets a lot. So It'll tell like us when her last feeding was. She literally eats every 3 to 4 hours, so it's so good to have something that like you, you know that's right, you know what I mean? That you can just keep track of easily. That app has been such a godsend. If you guys are new parents and need an app to track your baby's feeding and sleeping and diapers, that's a good app. Definitely go check that out. Okay, time to catch up on laundry while she's sleeping. I need to do her laundry and move my laundry into the dryer and then fold everything else. So let's go. I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow and It'll be like my 1 week post-op, I guess you could say. Um, and I'm dying for him to check me because I hate having stitches and they're dissolvable. I just want to like know I didn't like pop any, or I want to know that I'm not doing anything wrong basically. And I also want to like ask if he thinks I can like start working out because like it's, it's killing me that I don't have energy and I don't like— I can't work out, you know what I mean? So I know you're supposed to wait like 6 weeks, but I'm gonna see what he says. He's probably gonna say I'm crazy and no, but we'll see. Yay, you're waking up! Oh my goodness. Hello! Hi guys, did you have any good dreams, sissy? What are you doing? What are you doing, silly? Hi everyone! So yeah, really bad gas. Oh, I have really bad gas right now. I'm just chilling with my mom. Gotta go, say bye. Well, she fell asleep. Literally her sleep schedule is eat, poop, get changed, take a nap. Sometimes it's eat, sleep, poop. She might sleep for like another hour, maybe like another 20 minutes or something, and then she's gonna want food. Or maybe sooner than later because she's opening her eyes. Are you awake? Are you sleeping? Did you trick everyone? We all thought you were sleeping. You're not sleeping? You are sleeping. Okay, good night. Anyways guys, that is it for today's video. She's currently in in her swing sleeping. But I forgot to end this video. I'm editing it right now. And yeah, thank you guys so much for watching. I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye, guys!
