Jeremy Roloff is here with an update on his relatively new daughter.
A few days after Ember Jean turned one month old, the Little People, Big World star first shared the following precious picture of his infant on Facebook:
Altogether now: AWWWWW!
Jeremy also included a caption with the snapshot that gave fans an idea of both how he is doing and how Ember is doing.
“The first month has been full of learning, and reacting. Haha,” Roloff wrote, referring (we think) to both Daddy and Daughter.
He added:
“Ember Jean has us on our toes and awake. (All night long) haha. We’re starting to learn her cries (I mean singing) and have been taking her on a lot of walks.”
Concluded the TLC star, making a point to shower his wife with a compliment:
“She’s starting to smile and loves tummy time. And this photo is by my beautiful wife!”
Jeremy shared this picture and this message a week after Audrey Roloff did basically the same thing.
“Our baby girl is 4 weeks old today!!! I feel like we just came home from the hospital yesterday… wow,” wrote Audrey as a caption to a photo of her bundle of joy last Sunday.
The first-time parent went on to say that Ember “eats and wiggles by day, and eats and cuddles by night. She likes to pull out our hair, does not like footie pajamas (she kicks her feet right out of the legs), she loves the bath, and she prefers sleeping up right or on our chests.”
Also:
‘She smiles a lot and we swear it’s intentional. Some “firsts” include: first time to the farm, first mule ride, and first public blow out.”
Prior to this post, Audrey had been a tad quiet on social media.
Considering how often Zach and Tori Roloff talk about life with their baby son online, followers had been curious and concerned over Audrey’s silence, eventually learning she has been suffering from some postpartum depression.
She’s been experiencing a lot of pain while breastfeeding due to a condition known as mastitis, and she’s just struggling a bit in general with a baby who rarely sleeps.
“The pain that I’ve experienced while breast feeding has been comparable to unmedicated labor contractions,” she admitted a couple weeks ago, adding:
“Inevitably, all of this has left me feeling like I am failing my baby, frustrated, discouraged, and heart ached.”
Thankfully, Audrey has a loving and helpful husband at home, along with strong faith and the right attitude overall.
“But even though the tearful sleepless nights persist, so will I,” she also wrote.
TLC has not yet announced a return date for Little People, Big World – but new episodes will focus on Jeremy and Audrey’s journey to parenthood.
We admire how candid Audrey has been throughout the process and we’ll keep her in our thoughts over the next few weeks.
It really can be challenging to become a parent, as you’re suddenly in charge of a helpless tiny person’s well-being 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
But it’s so very much worth it in the end.
Hang in there, Jeremy and Audrey.
