- [Stephen] Oh cute!
Hi guys.
Welcome to day five at the hospital.
We have had quite the crazy week.
If you missed our last video,
we are currently...
We are parents.
- We've had a baby.
- We've had a baby girl,
on Tuesday night.
At 7:44 pm she was born.
She was 3.5 kilos, 51 centimeters
and she is so, so cute.
- We love her so so much.
- So after my night sleep on Tuesday,
I woke up on Wednesday morning
with the best news.
- It is now June the 3rd.
So our little baby
is less than 24 hours old,
and I got a call from the hospital today saying,
I kid you not,
that they've lifted a lot more
of the visiting restrictions today.
So rather than me just being able to come in
from 11:00 till 12:00
and then 6:00 till 7:00,
I can come in for full visiting hours.
- And then they changed it
and he could come for 12-hour block,
8 am to 8 pm.
I called Stephen straight away,
and he came rushing in.
He grabbed Hunter
and sat on the chair.
And I captured such a cute photo.
I feel like it was the moment
Stephen realized,
he was going to be a dad.
It's like my favorite photo.
Always makes me cry whenever I look at it.
(Stephen laughs)
- So seeing as it is now Friday,
we actually kind of thought
we would be home already,
seeing as Jess got induced on Monday.
But there has been a couple of issues,
we've been dealing with
- So the main issue
that I've been actually having
is with her feeding.
I had no idea that I've been diagnosed
with a rare condition with my nipples
and it's been affecting my breast feeding.
And you're probably wondering
where Hunter is right now.
So she was...
We've been checking up on her
because she really wasn't interested
in feeding as well,
and we found out
that she had a little mouth infection.
So she's currently in the nursery.
She's on a little IV
and she had to have antibiotics.
But we had some good news
because they told us
that she was going
to have to be in the nursery for 48 hours.
And she's getting better so quickly
that she gets to leave after 24 hours.
So this afternoon,
she gets to leave the nursery
and come back in my room
and I'm so excited.
But we now off to go and feed her.
- [Nurse] We put one of these on so it's--
- [Jessica] like that?
- [Nurse] And then--
- Morning sunshine.
Just need to check your temperature.
So, we put it under.
(baby grunts)
- [Jessica] She doesn't like it that much.
- [Nurse] Put it underneath.
- [Stephen] It's probably cause it's a little bit cold.
[Nurse] And then we close it.
(baby grunts)
(beep sound)
- [Nurse] 36.8.
- [Stephen] She's a little bit hot.
- [Nurse] No, she's meant to be 36.5 to 37.5.
- [Stephen] Oh perfect. - [Jessica] Yeah.
- [Stephen] You're nice and cozy.
This little slothy.
This is the little sloth outfit--
Oh Steve,
Let's see her little belly button
- [Stephen] The umbilical cord still on there.
[Jessica] Hello? Good morning.
Oh my goodness,
I've woken you up.
(baby farts)
Okay.
(laughs)
Okay, let's have a look inside your nappy.
- [Stephen] Nappy check time.
- [Jessica] Change her anyway,
I think to wake her up a bit,
- [Stephen] Oh look at her little foot thing.
- [Nurse] So take this off.
This is for her,
to check her heartbeat.
[Stephen] Yeah,
- [Jessica] My heartbeat.
She was going pretty good,
Now let's see if it's a poop.
Oh my gosh,
there's a big poop.
- [Stephen] You did a big poop.
(chuckles)
- [Nurse] That novelty will wear off really fast.
(laughs)
- I know
when you start her on food,
you'll be like nup
[Jessica] Yeah, it's funny how everything
is still exciting.
Like, "oh my gosh, a poop."
Guess who just got her little nose thing out?
Yay.
(baby coughs)
(Stephen laughs)
You don't wanna kiss me?
Okay,
Oh, ready?
- Oh she's doing a little suckling.
She's feeding.
Good girl.
See? Food is nice.
- [Stephen] Food is so good.
- Is it weird seeing her feed
and not just falling asleep?
(chuckles)
- [Stephen] It's so good she's so awake.
Oh this makes daddy happy.
- She just likes to stare into your eyes.
- [Stephen] Yeah, it's so good.
- She's trying to poop.

- So real quick.
I want to show you this little clip.
We've been calling Hunter our little sloth
because her favorite sleeping position right now
is curled up on my chest.
I even to commemorate the moment went
and bought her a little sloth onesy,
which is way too small for her.
(bright piano music)
- It's almost like eerie calm before the storm.
First of all,
waking up this morning
and it was just me inside the house,
of course due to what's going on
in the world at the moment,
I'm not allowed to stay at the hospital.
Kind of just took it all in today.
Walked around the house, prepared her nursery,
got our first kind of family pajamas ready
for our first night
because today we're bringing her home.
You're gonna let us go home today?
It's Sunday after all.
Good morning.
Are you ready to go home today?

Guys, it is officially Saturday.
We have our little--
- [Jessica] Stephen it's Sunday,
- Oh so it's Sunday
- [Jessica] I've been here
for basically a whole week.
- Wow, who's in the hospital
for a whole week?
It should be Monday that you came in then.
- No, to be honest,
I'd bet you there's other people
that have to stay way longer.
So I should be happy,
but we're just happy cause she is healthy
and happy and feeding and ready to go home.
- And she's back in our room last night,
she came here
and it was kind of cool
because yesterday we learned
how to give her a little bath.
- [Jessica] It was so cute.
- It was so cute.
She kinda liked it.
- [Jessica] Oh no, she loved it.
She just didn't like the naked bit.
She loved the water.
- She's doing a stretch at the same time.
Which way am I putting her?
That way? - [Nurse] Yep.
- I'm free. - [Nurse] Good morning.
(chuckles)
- Look at you.
[Nurse] So strip her off down to her nappy.
- Oh there you go.
Just she's feeling nice wet nappy,
you know about the lining?
Oh yeah she does have a wet nappy
- [Stephen] Oh yeah.
- [Nurse] So leave it on for now.
[Jessica] Okay,
- [Nurse] Take it off shoulders wiggle a little bit.
- Yes.
- [Stephen] Smack her out of it.
- [Nurse] Here getting washed
- So like this is the smug bit?
- [Nurse] Yup, beautiful.
- Ready? Then you were saying
at least grab a little bit of water.
For that surface on her head
(baby grunts)
That's it.
- [Stephen] What's that like?
- Oh my gosh.
This is cool.
So I just might add a little bit (indistinct)
- Ooh.
(baby grunts)
- [Stephen] It's probably (indistinct)
- Yeah I always wonder
if her head is still sore from the vacuum.
- [Stephen] Well, she might be enjoying that.
- Cannot tell if she has curly hair or not.
That's been the big question.
- [Stephen] Is that a smile?
It's not a smile yet probably.
- [Nurse] So just like that.
- [Jessica] Okay.
- [Nurse] Confirm not that you can get
any mark that's there.
and you're only using one cotton mobile ball.
- So I could do one more,
if I feel like there was a bit more in there.
- Absolutely.
- Oh mine's a little bit cold.
Oh, she's trying to eat it.
Look at you.
Oh and around here.
It's a bit cold
- Yeah,
- You've got something in her mouth
(baby cries)
Our bath is not...
Do you feel comfortable enough
to let you hand go at the bottom?
- Oh I do.
- Yeah, so let go.
And now you've got that hand.
- Look at it.
I can just get out curly hair.
Look at her hair, Steve.
- [Stephen] Oh yeah, I think that's curly hair.
(bright guitar music)
- Yeah, I think you're gonna let us go home today.
You're looking very cute in your jammies.
- Show them the little like
meme you sent to the family.
Where it was like,
Hunter pondering when she wants
to leave the the hospital.
Hunter deciding that she wants
to stay for an entire week.
- It's gonna to be strange.
You're gonna go outside
for the very first time.
You don't even know what the outside feels like.
- I hear you should document it.
It is currently...
We had a sunny week all week.
The day it starts to rain
is the day you're going home.
That's why we put her in her little,
oversized too big comfy pajamas.
- You're just so happy now.
- [Jessica] Such a dad moment right now,
trying to get out of the hospital.
I've got how many things
and what are you holding right now?
Just the most important thing.
- A very sleepy baby.
- [Stephen] We came in without a package.
And now we're leaving with a little package.

- Already, welcome home Hunter.
- This is so weird.
I can't believe I'm home.
- It's been a week.
- It looks really clean.
- Oh, thanks.
First night at home,
- Hi baby.
- Have you just claimed the big bed
because we didn't get your bassinet
for you to just come chill with us.
- Look how cute she is.
(baby farts)
(laughs)
She's a little fart machine.
- Classic.
- That's her saying that it's food time.
- [Stephen] Yeah.
- Hey baby,
- Do you wanna eat
because you kind of need to eat.
(smooches)
- It's a hard life being a newborn, isn't it?
Mom and dad need to feed you.
- You're choosing sleep and fall outs.
- It's true.
Oh now you want food.
- Morning.
- Alright, let's get you some food.
- Okay.
- Got a little baby bed.
- Guys this is dangerous.
One week being a parent and--
- Already matching.
- ... already got our matching family pajamas.
This is dangerous fun.
- It's finally time to put her
in her bassinet for the very first time.
This is so surreal.
She is so sleepy.
Alright, time to go
inside your little sleeping sack.
What do you think?
- I think she just wants her arms up in the air.
- Oh my arms.
- You lose arm privileges.
Cause we found out that
those arms wake yourself up.
- She loves touching her face.
bye bye arms,
- Big yawn.
- Oh, goodnight.
I cant stop kissing
your little cheeks, goodnight.
- Feel good to be home.
- Yes, I was just saying to Stephen,
I feel like the weirdest part of the whole week
was that was the longest
that Stephen and I have ever been a part,
like not sleeping in the same bed or anything
for how long--
- Wow years.
- ... like 10 years or something like that.
And who knows the hardest parts.
Every night when Stephen would have to leave
that was like the suckiest part.
But what we would do
is we would always call each other
and then Stephen would put on Stephen master chef
and he would cook dinner
in front of FaceTime,
wear his little chef hat
and then Hunter
and I would just watch him cook.
And I feel like
that was like my favorite part of each day.
So it actually feels so nice
to finally be in the same house all together.
- But it's crazy
that just one week ago,
we were like walking down the beach--
- Trying to get into labor.
And now--
Were trying to walk this baby out now.
Wow, one week later,
we are here in the house.
This is so cool.
But this is definitely not
how we anticipated our first week going.
So I'm hoping you enjoyed us,
kind of like filming around the hospital
while she was in the special ward area.
But yeah, thanks so much guys.
- We're all good and all healthy now.
- Yeah, it's all good now,
but thanks so much for watching
and I'm sure we have so many fun videos coming your way.
We'll see you guys next time.
- Bye.
