(strong classical music)
- Oh my gosh, my water just broke.
We were out at lunch it all like (mumbles).
My water broke, I've never had this happen before.
I'm gonna show you my lap, look at, I am a mess.
- Are you allowed to show that?
- I think I'm allowed to show that.
We need to get to the hospital right now.
I have always had babies really fast after my water breaks,
we are not prepared, we do not have all our things,
but we need to go.
Kind of freaking out, this has definitely never happened.
It's actually kind of rare for your water to break
when you're not at the hospital.
It only happens to like 17% of pregnancies.
- And all television shows.
- And all television shows. (laughing)
I never would have expected this
and Christopher's getting on a phone,
he was like okay I've got to make a meeting,
and I was like okay sweetie.
And I stand up and it was all (mumbles),
like the weirdest feeling, I can not believe
this just happened.
We need to make a lot of phone calls right now.
Sorry guys, and I put my phone on the ground,
I don't even now what I'm going to do,
I'm sitting on Christopher's sweater, actually it's Jacob's.
We do not have a towel in the car,
I would never have expected this.
May 12th, I think today's the day.
It's gonna be May 12th or May 13th,
oh my goodness, woo, woo.
I'm calling and texting a bunch of people.
I did feel a contraction and it was when Christopher
was also turning a corner so a lot of like squirtiness
happened, I have no idea what's going on down there guys,
I'm not about to look anymore.
I called my doctor, put him on the alert,
we're on the way to the hospital.
Gwen has the kids right now so they are taken care of
but they're going to be coming to the hospital too.
We have a Vloggy but we don't really have
our computers or our camera equipment so
I think yesterday's vlog is going to be late
or you know, vlogs are going to be late,
we're going to the hospital,
I think you guys'll forgive us for that. (laughter)
No, water is breaking more when I laugh, so pro tip.
- Pro tip, if you want lots of water to come out of you,
just go ahead and laugh.
- Yeah or just like, if you don't want it come out of you,
try not to laugh too much, but whatever,
just live your life.
I can't believe this is happening.
- So usually when Jessica's water breaks, in the past,
it's been like major contractions and the baby comes
in like five minutes.
- Yeah.
- And it takes us a while to get to this hospital.
I'm surprised that you're not acting like
you're having major contractions.
- I'm being cool, I don't know, who knows what's going on.
- Are you feeling major contractions I guess is my question?
- I felt, yeah, I'm feeling it right now,
I think again so I think that's about,
it's got to be three to five minutes.
- You're talking through the though.
- Yeah right now it's not that bad.
It's not that bad so we'll see.
In the past, I don't think I've had my water break
and not had a baby within 30 minutes,
but every pregnancy is different,
every labor is different.
I am feeling, I think I'm feeling one now.
My guess is it's about three to five minutes apart.
My guess is we've got to like zoom over to the hospital,
which is what we're doing.
- We're going.
- We're doing our best.
- We're going as fast as we legally can.
- Yeah.
- Obeying laws, for now.
- It's time.
- Until it gets too serious.
- Today's the day, we're gonna have a baby.
Do we have stuff for a baby in the, we got the car seat.
- Yeah, we've got our hospital bag...
- Okay.
- We've got our car seat, we've got a boopy,
we've got our diaper bag, the only things we don't have
is like one of my really good cameras to like,
get really good shots but we have this camera
so that's something.
- Oh my goodness you guys, ahh, I can't believe it.
I've like always fantasized about breaking my water
like somewhere else, but then by, you know I'm on my fourth
so I was like that's never gonna happen,
I'm never gonna be like Ms. Break her water
in the middle of a place.
I totally stood up at the place where we were having
a late breakfast and I don't think I made a mess,
like I think its all in my leggings but I don't know
people saw, I don't know anything,
I just kind of booked it, I was like, Christopher,
my water broke.
- Well you might have left water behind?
- I don't know what I did.
- Oh my god.
- I was just really confused and excited and I was like,
I'm just blooping right now, I'm doing something down there.
- We'll get you a wheelchair when we get there.
- Oh yeah. (laughing)
It's really gushy, it's warm and gushy.
- I got you the luxury sedan of wheelchairs, it's very wide.
- You're just trying to say you got me
the giant pregnant lady one, oohhh.
- Okay, you good, kind of?
Just so it doesn't fester while we're in there.
- Oh my goodness, okay so they just checked me in,
I'm wearing my hospital gown that I bought
so they let me wear it, I'm super fancy.
- They let her keep her pearls on.
- Yeah, they asked if I want to keep my pearls on,
I was like, why not right?
- The most fancy in labor.
- The fanciest labor, ooh, I'm still gushing the fluid.
Remember guys, I brought a lot of fluid in with me
so that's happening a lot.
They just checked me and I'm about
four to five centimeters dilated.
We'll see how it all goes,
(unintelligible) get it done guys.
Baby time, baby time, cause it's baby time.
- This is so exciting, Jessica's gonna have a baby,
we're gonna get to meet a brand new person.
A person that hadn't been here before, that's brand new,
we will get to meet that person, be like the first people
to meet that person.
- Happiest Mother's Day ever.
- I'm so excited, so we'll keep you posted,
right now we're in the woo hoo excited phase.
No bad feelings or anything, feeling pretty good?
- I'm pretty good.
Gwen is stuck in traffic, about an hour away with the kids.
Bailey and I will both be pretty devastated
if she doesn't make it so, well maybe Bailey will forgive me
cause she'll have a baby in her arms.
- You paused while you were talking, was that a contraction?
- I'm sorry, no no.
- Oh okay.
Cause if you guys don't know, Jessica,
when she has contractions, sometimes, when it gets
closer to the pregnancy, they're usually more intense
but sometimes, she just likes breathes through them
and the doctor is like, you just had a major contraction,
she's like I know.
- You have to check for me, go see if I've had any,
I don't know.
- I mean there is a little spike here but I'm not sure
if that's just the baby moving or not.
It doesn't look like a, it looks too chaotic,
like usually contractions they kind of go smoothly
up and down.
That's just from my remembering of it, I'm not a doctor,
I don't know things.
- My water broke.
Hey get so excited, you'll have a baby today.
- Where did your water break?
- Where was I?
- Uh huh.
- We were at breakfast.
- Daddy and I were going to breakfast
and well it was kind of a late breakfast, it was noon.
It was like a (mumbles) and it was weird cause I was like,
I got up to go pee, but it didn't feel like pee at all,
it wasn't at all me being like, oh did I just pee my pants?
It was definitely like my water just broke,
and then I was like wait, didn't I have to pee?
How exciting (unintelligible).
- You're having a baby right now?
- Yeah, it's going to take some time
but today's the day.
- Are you sure?
- There's no going back.
- Jacob doesn't trust it.
- It might be tomorrow.
- It's going to be in the next 24 hours.
- And we're gonna to go to the waiting room
while Bailey plays with Dunc?
- Unfortunately, we did not have a towel in the car
so mommy had to sit on your orange sweater.
Your orange sweater saved the day.
- It's not ruined, it'll get washed.
- We'll wash it, but your orange sweater saved the day.
(laughing)
Trying to decide if that was a forgivable offense.
- Is that okay?
- Is that alright?
- Can I wear it?
- Not right now.
- I think he's okay with it.
- But can I wear it after.
- Yeah, for sure.
- After it gets washed.
- It'll be a special memory, right?
- Yeah, my brother broke it.
- Yeah.
- His bubble.
(laughter)
- Your brother blew his bubble.
- And then Duncy, they put Duncy over here.
- Yeah they're gonna put Duncan up there.
- And then what are they gonna do for Duncan?
- Well they're gonna check him, they're gonna check
his heart rate and how he's breathing
and they've got a nice warm light up there
that'll keep him warm and they probably have a
bilirubin light that'll help him not get jaundice
and look, they have the doctor's stethoscope,
we can't touch any of this stuff but they have a stethoscope
and special breathing stuff in case they need it.
They have everything they need, just in case,
just in case so they can take care of the baby.
- And just in one thing.
- Yeah, when you were first born,
you were put up in one of those.
- Ohh.
- And so was Jacob.
- Which hospital was here?
- You were in a different hospital, not this one.
- I'm in labor but I feel fine so I'm gonna take a minute
to do my makeup, so I look nice when my baby comes
so I can take some cute pictures
and maybe I 'll only get half way through
and then we can all laugh at me.
Well let's see, I'm gonna do some makeup though.
I did my makeup, which I know is really silly but,
I don't know, I'm not doing anything else right now guys,
I'm just kind of sitting here so it made sense at the time.
So far, I have managed to break two nails.
I broke that nail and that nail, both my thumb nails.
Basically I don't even know how,
I was trying to move this table,
that's what I put my makeup on to do it and yup,
I broke two nails.
That's my progress so far in this labor, I'm very excited.
So this is already turning into a wildly
different labor for me.
My water broke and now I'm here
and nothing is really happening.
I've dilated to like four or five but it's like,
the baby isn't just like flowing out as my other
children have, so who knows this is definitely
going to be different, I don't know what to expect.
- I notice they brought in some new furniture for you.
- They brought in this ball that's covered
with a lot of stuff because I'm about to cover it
with more stuff.
I'm going to bounce on this ball
and I'm going to encourage the baby to kind of come down
and be pushing on my business.
Hopefully that gets things started even more
cause right now, I'm just fine, just hanging out
and doing my makeup and stuff.
- Okay, lets get you on your ball.
- Hey, birthing.
- This is what having a baby looks like,
in case you've never done it, this is it.
That's how you do it in style.
Just in case you didn't know how much of a nerd I am,
I just used this rolling chair as a dolly to get this shot.
Look who just showed up.
- Hello.
- Why didn't you bring your dog?
- Because...
- Into the hospital, what's going on?
- It's got eggs in it's poop. (laughter)
- Does it really?
- Yeah I just found out.
- You just found out?
How did you find that out?
- Vets, that's how, magic.
- What kind of eggs, ostrich eggs, reptile eggs?
- Yeah, a little ostrich, a little reptile,
alligator and mainly.
- Didn't they check it?
- Yeah, that's actually how I found out, they checked it,
they went to the vet two days ago
and then today the vet called.
- They waited til you took it to give you the bad news?
- Yeah, so his poop's a little runny, that's all.
- Gross.
- Oh, thank you for being here for me.
- Excuse me, mama.
- Yeah, I question what's coming next.
- Is this blanket covering you from your body?
- Yeah, it's giving me privacy, isn't that great?
- Uh huh, why does it need privacy?
- Well just because, I'm just doing privacy and look,
it's covered in wetness, you know what this is?
- No.
- This is amniotic fluid, can you say amniotic fluid?
- Amniotic fluid.
- Good boy, say that again.
- Amniotic fluid.
- Good job, this is what baby Duncan has been floating in.
Guess what's really funny?
He's been drinking this and then he's been pee-peeing
it out, and then he drinks it again, isn't that silly?
- Can you tell me one thing that you're excited
about doing with baby Duncan?
- I'm excited about playing with him.
- It's 6:30 pm and my water broke at noon like exactly,
so were about six and half hours in
and not a lot has happened, like I'm starting to feel alive.
Usually it means something, I haven't gotten
an epidural or anything, I'm feeling it.
So, I'm like a six right now and dilating a little more
so things are happening, just a lot slower than
we've had in the past as far as after my water had broken.
One exciting adventure, it turns out that this is
my doctor's wedding anniversary and he is at his
anniversary dinner which is awesome, super excited for him
but right no there's a different doctor
so he might deliver the baby and he's totally new to me,
I've never met him, well, I just met him today,
that's the biggest news.
A lot of people are here having a party in the waiting room
and they're basically all Ballingers
because Ballingers kind of clear a room with toots.
There has been a significant amount of fluid, like a lot,
a lot, a lot of amniotic fluid and there's still more,
that's been kind of funny, it's been intense.
Sorry guys.
- So I made all these things while I was
at the doctor's office.
- What are these made out of?
- Wikki sticks.
- Oh, so you're a doctor?
How's his heart rate Bailey?
How's it look in there?
- Good.
- Any spiders.
- No.
- Okay.
What are you doing now?
- I'm checking the blood pressure.
- Oh good.
- And now it's time to take your temperature.
- Ahh, that tickles.
- No fever, good.
- Can't remember if I gave this update or not,
so I'll just give it again.
So the nurse checked me and I am six centimeters dilated
and 80% effaced so getting there.
And I haven't really ever talked about this I don't think,
my birth hope, not necessarily what's going to happen but,
kind of like my loose plan is to do it without
any medication so so far I haven't had any.
I haven't had an epidural or Pitocin or anything
because I've had Polyhydramnios,
that's the too much amniotic fluid,
that they're going to have to give me Pitocin right away
after the delivery to help contract and shrink
my uterus safely because there's a chance
that I could have major bleeding
because the uterus is basically going from
such a large size, where it shouldn't have been
because there was just way too much liquid in it,
and it's shrinking back down so rapidly that
it needs some assistance or it can get dangerous.
I will be having it then.
Also I already plan on having pain medication at that point.
I was like order that Motrin now.
That's what I usually do, I usually kind of skip stuff
if I can during the birth and then after
I get a little medication.
- Rachel is going to take my camera and check on the kids.
I'm staying in this room until Jessica has the baby.
But Rachel is going back and forth and right now
she's gonna go check on the kids, my kids,
I want to see them.
- Alright, I'll take the camera.
Hi, let's go.
Hey Parker, where did you get that dog?
- From grandma's house and I took the collar off.
- How did he get a dog?
- I don't know.
Hey Jake, whatcha doing?
- I'm switching the teams.
- You're confused, what?
- A team...
- Hey Bail, what are you doing?
This is for your dad.
- I don't know what I'm doing.
- You don't know what you're doing?
Are you playing a game?
- I'm trying to make tea.
- Did you succeed?
- Mm, hmm.
- Fantastic, good work.
It's a little later, this is still what's happening
in the waiting room.
- What are you guys doing?
- We're playing BALLZ.
- Nope, Christopher's channel.
- We're playing a game called B-A-L-L-Z,
Ballz, and it's fun.
- And that's what's happening.
(happy upbeat music)
- Things are starting to get a little more serious,
Jessica's contractions are getting stronger,
she now has a popsicle and I'm holding it
because she needed to focus on the last contraction.
Are you having one now?
- I just stopped.
- Just stopped.
Bailey's here now, she's in the room,
she'll probably stay in here until the baby comes.
Are you excited?
- Mm, hmm.
- Yay, exciting.
- How are you feeling right now?
- Contractions are (unintelligible), blah.
- Jessica is at 10 centimeters,
that means it is time to start pushing.
Look at how much of a champ she is.
- I'm so excited.
- She's feeling it but she's like acting like
she's not feeling it.
- 10 centimeters, no cervix, it's just gone.
- It's just gone, so they're calling the doctor,
he's gonna come.
Hopefully well have a baby here in just
a few little minutes.
- Baby, baby.
- You excited?
Me too.
(baby crying)
- Oh, what's his name?
- Duncan.
Look at this guy, hi, you're too cute.
- My last one was nine pounds, nine ounces.
- Oh yeah, he's just little.
- Hey, hi.
Hey buddy, you are so amazing.
You are so amazing.
(piano music)
- He is so cute.
Look at you buddy, he's a blondy too.
- Don't cry, its okay.
Hi, it's bright out here isn't it?
It is bright out here, there's a lot to see.
You look so good.
(baby crying)
- Hi buddy, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay.
- Who was in today, will probably see you tomorrow,
we have to go to Los Angeles in the morning.
- So precious.
- Thank you.
- Oh, he's shivering.
( children screaming and laughing)
- That's your baby brother.
- Hey Parker, meet Duncan.
- He likes sticking his tongue out, believe me.
- He's so cute, a cutie.
- He has curly hair like Parker, want to see?
- And he has eyebrows like Jacob.
- Don't take his hat off, it's gonna make him cold,
he's not used to the air like we are.
What do you think of that Parker?
- He's cute.
- He's so cute.
- He's so cute, my brother.
- Did it hurt when he comes out?
- A little bit, but not anymore, now it's just happiness.
- Can I touch him?
- Yeah, you can touch him.
- Here I'll bring you over.
- How does he feel?
- Ohh, I wish I could be him.
- Jacob's ready to hold the baby but, guess what Jacob,
he needs to finish nursing first,
and second you're gonna need to wash your hands really well
before you hold him.
What do you think?
- Very awesome.
- Can I take a selfie with him?
- You promise to share it with me?
- I don't ask anyone to take selfies.
- Is this his first selfie?
- He didn't like it I'm sorry.
- Oh no he's fine.
- Okay, you're gonna learn to like it.
Oh wait, this isn't a camera, I was about to
talk to my phone as if it was my body.
(laughter)
He's like this big.
- Hi Popeye, hello.
- I want to hold his hand.
- His hands are getting warmed up right now
but you can go like this on his hands, they're in here.
- Let me touch his lips.
- No don't touch his lips but touch his face, that's fine.
You can touch his little cheeks, he's so soft.
That's your first time touching your baby brother.
- When are you gonna wash him off.
- Tomorrow, he's perfect right now.
- Only tomorrow?
- Yeah.
- Duncan...
- Shh, calm down little guys.
- What'd you just hear?
- It just made me cry, just hearing him cry.
- He's so horrible.
- What?
Adorable.
- Adorable.
- He's adorable.
- Oh poor internet connection.
- Check out this world.
- Hi Colleen.
- Oh my god, he's so cute.
- Thank you he's such a good boy.
Can you see, taking care of baby bunny, good boy.
- What a little sweetie.
- Little sweetie.
- I love you little sweetie.
He came.
- He's eight pounds, two ounces.
- Oh he's so precious.
(machines beeping)
- That's the cutest, holding her hand.
Oh look at that like Elvis Presley he just did.
- Hi baby.
- He's so mellow.
- Look at him just kneading on you that's so sweet.
- Oh he wants some food.
- Yeah, he's already been doing a really good job with food.
He already ate both sides.
- Wow.
- Yeah, I'll give him some more in a second.
Hi baby.
- I love my brother!
- Oh that was a little burp.
- His first burp.
- You heard it here folks, the first burp.
- I heard the first burp.
- You're so good, hi.
Hey baby.
(children laughing)
- Wait, what?
- I saw the red and the hoopy thing
and I thought it was a basketball hoop.
I was mad you guys didn't tell me about it earlier.
- You thought we were playing basketball in here
while she was delivering a baby?
- What if she's just laying here and gets bored?
Shoot hoops.
(baby crying)
- Hello Duncan, what happened?
- Maybe he's hungry again.
- Okay baby, you're gonna meet your big sister.
- Duncan, Duncan, Duncan.
- What does his hair smell like?
- Your mom.
- He probably smells amazing.
- Oh he smells like so cute.
- This baby that I've never seen before.
- Hey there baby.
- Okay, Jake, just like that.
(baby crying)
- Shh, shh.
- Aww, he likes his kisses.
He's gonna be a cuddle bug like his big brother.
- He loves you.
- He hiccuped.
- He likes you.
- I love you Duncy.
