WE HAD A BABY! Lenny's Debut Ep. 190
You've seen photos but now we can finally show Lenny's story on video!! It brings us great pleasure to officially introduce to you our boy Lennon Foster Whitelum. We feel like the luckiest people on this earth. Join us as we test the waters with a road trip, leading up to our departure back to the boat. We compressed our few months in Australia into two videos which means we had a chance to spend quality time with family and friends, not drowning you in endless videos of Lenny on land and it also means we are getting very close to real time again. Thanks for your patience whilst we find our feet as parents. We really appreciate the support you have given us during this time. Let us know what you think of our home in South Australia. Hopefully we did it justice.
Don't forget to check this post about our scheduled LIVE catch up today!:

Thanks for being amazing! ❤️❤️

Amazing!
Ok, so I'm fast becoming the weird 'Where's Episode 189?' guy. Doesn't seem to be here or on Youtube and we are falling behind, and can't wait to meet the Lenmister! So I think we will just skip to 190 ;-)
Mmmm still on the hunter for episode 189...does anyone know where to find it or can send me a link?
Soooo we are holding off watching this episode as we can’t seem to find ep 189...has it been deleted? Are we just really thick and should be able to easily find it?
We remember the days well, what a life changing experience becoming a parent is! It, like most things in life that have value, has its ups & downs, but is worth it in the end. We're sure you're going to make great parents as you take it one day at a time, as a beautiful family!
Jawa! Starfish!! Triffid!!! Beautiful Boy!!!!
You guys NAILED this video! A perfect balance was stricken and it's a wonderful mix of artistic and HILARIOUS. (Starfish Lenny is awesome). Bravo!
This is a beautiful video!! So very well done. Adelaide looks amazing. And you two look so happy! Although probably sleep deprived. 🧡
The video quality and editing just got even more perfect i didn't think it was possible... but this one was like i sat in front of a film documentary from one of a national channel quality! congrats and welcome to the Boy! he is such a lucky little one.... !
wow great edit ,I don't do baby's but how cute is Lenny x
Bewtiful dynamic range on the fillums kids. What Lovely story telling craft you’ve developed.
Lovely video guys - great edit. A really nice contrast to the regular ones, and nice to see some of our favourite places. A really lovely 'family' video, with you guys getting used to your new reality. I noted that Lenny is not slowing you down - I doubt there are many his age that have gone bushwalking through Deep Creek !!! Well done Lenny - great effort and a sign of things to come :).
Great on Lenny for you both! I had to say that that opening with the cliffs and horn sounding was awesome! Kind of GOT like but better!
congrats.
ICEHOUSE!!!!!! What a great surprise...... I had forgotten those guys. Thanks for jogging some great memories out of the abyss!
X2, Great Southern Land, has been in my collection for over 20 years. I never hear this played anywhere here in the states.
Welcome!
I am a new patron. Wow. This video is amazing. My family loves you guys, and we are grateful to have this special peak into your lives. I have followed you from the very beginning and you have given me so much. I learned to sail because you. I am inspired by your adventures. And I am raising my children to be familiar with sailing because of you.
also, this is who I am in 1 min, <a href="https://youtu.be/KEYS4YI0JbY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/KEYS4YI0JbY</a>
Ah man had a sympathetic chuckle when I saw the struggles with Lenny in the car....remember those days when just nothing works and you’re soooo tired....😄😄😂😂
LOVED the intro,big ad for Oz.U guys look very happy the extra 1 changes everything. Good Sailing
Elay/Riley thank you for making all the effort and taking your time to film and then share while having such a life changing experience. It was great to see you on your home turf and seeing Lenny in his first days. You guys are awesome!
Welcome to planet earth Lenny! Riley commented in an earlier video about the audio quality of just recording Elayna's singing on the video camera not being the greatest - but I must say I really liked the acoustics of Elayna's singing and the guitar in the cabin by the fire! maybe not recording studio quality - but sounded great to me! Another great video!
Fairy wrens! Loved meeting Lenny!
FYI- Everyone go to the Patreon Website via your WEB BROWSER either on phone, laptop, science computer 🤣 not the Patreon APP on your phone. And it “should” work! ❤️
Thanks Tiffany! It sounds like there are some issues with the Patreon app.
The video isn’t working. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Jay and Robin! Tiffany has left a comment on how it worked for her. Let us know how you go
How are you babyproofing the cat?
mainly with bubble wrap :) na, it's still a work in progress Greg.
Embarrassed to admit, but I had tears of joy for you three through many parts of this video. I’m so happy for you and and your new adventures to come.
Aww, Don’t be embarrassed David! It’s absolutely amazing and makes my heart happy too! It’s very good to share in one another’s joy! Even if they’re tears of joy! 🙏❤️
WOW!!!! This is now my new FAVORITE!!!! So beautifully done, the edits- zoom and slow motion sequences are just perfect and so many different elements In there! Animals, to water, to mountainside, to delicious food and wine and then PERFECT LENNY😍 and back to funny crying car rides and the cute duet with Riley. (Riley has a good voice too when he’s not being goofy lol) This is just GREAT you guys! So proud of this debut!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
I went to Patreon website directly nd it worked!
how do you mean Tiff? Do you mind writing a comment for those who are having trouble viewing the video?
Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of when my girls were babies.
Says “Video unavailable” .... 😢
Congrats he is so sweet! I too had issues with the video in the Patreon app, but the email link worked. Weird.
thats so amazing, I am so happy for you both. Great , new adventures are afoot :)
Beautiful singing and the perfect song for little Lenny :) and amazing background singing by Riley ;)
Can't wait to watch this when I get home! Congrats again on the CUTEST bundle of joy with a great name! Good job you two!
This little Pampers Rocker will have the best 2 People next to him his whole life from now.. This is magic no one really can describe .. LIFE is awesome !!!
So fantastic and amazing, well done. Good on you both and Lenny! Australia looks as amazing as I have always heard. Certainly is on my list of places to go on my boat as soon as possible. Thank you for all you have done.
I’m in Brisbane australia on iPhone and computer challenged :( day video not available help oh and great news although old news now - I had 2 little men once big men now - it just gets better - congratulations kids
Says unavailable :(
We really loved this video.❤️ Thanks for sharing your journey to being parents and Lenny’s birth. I love how you have shown an honest account of how it is, just like you do in all your other videos. Loving seeing our amazing country feature too Sending you our love from Perth. Steve and Jo xx
Congrats, Love it. will be also following the live this evening.
Congratulations on such a beautiful boy! As a father of four boys, I'd say there is nothing better than the bond of sons. Enjoy him it will all go by too fast.
Making a fire?, i thought Aussi was having a heatwave this summer (for you, winter for us) Its funny to hear you guys say "Nappy" I was a Brit so used the same term but after 40 years in the states we say diaper now, do Aussi's use Gripe water? google it, might not be fashionable now, we had 4 kids an loved it, Loved you said Wingsuiter Riley, I'm the wingsuiter was talking to you at the Miami boat show. good luck.
Congrats
So it says unavailable on iPhone in the app, in the US. I can view it on Patreon through safari on my iPhone. So nothing is wrong with the upload, something is wrong with the Patreon app.
Oh my, you did indeed finally have your precious Boy,Lenny! What a cutie his is too. I can see both of you in him and that means he will become a very handsome man for sure. Good on you girl for trying to have him the way you had wanted, but don't worry about finally having to got to hospital to "finish the job"! Most first timers have to do that and there's no shame in it at all. Riley looks to be a natural at this new Dad Thing! What a lucky little guy he is to have such way cool parents. I can't wait to see him get to the boat and begin his life adventure. You have made my day so very special kids. Six years ago we lost our Mom and your story has brightened this day!
Such Joy!!! :)
All good stuff; your video production quality just gets better and better. I spent a lot of time with Max in a baby sling; the way to travel. The only way to keep him from screaming was to be tightly swaddled ... then bam, he's 13. Enjoy the good stuff; the tough stuff either becomes a funny story or disappears from memory.
Great one!
Your email link worked! So before when it wasn’t working I was in the Patreon app on my iPhone and it is still showing as unavailable even now. But I checked my emails and clicked the link and was able to view it. So anyone having troubles maybe try your email link. Thank you Elayna and Riley for the vid, so sweet to see Lenny! I loved you singing together, and getting crumbs on Bub is oh so familiar! - Linn
Apple phone and apple tablet. USA. I’m watching through the Patreon application.
I’m currently on apple device. Tried on my WiFi and off of it.
apple phone? USA? Safari, chrome, internet explorer or mozilla firefox?
Ah, the joy and reality of parenthood! Great video guys and echo the comments above - such a fun and exciting time. Hope you're getting your sleep back by now!
Absolutely thrilled that you took the time to make this video for us. I was smiling from ear to ear as I watched it all and I'm so stoked for you guys. I've seen all the posts from insta but a video like this puts everything together. Much love from my corner of the world!! -Jerami
awesome! cheers Jerami!
Showing unavailable too, bummer!

You have made the world a better place! thanks for sharing. get some rest .
This is such a beautiful episode!! My favourite yet!
Video uploaded 50 minutes ago but now showing “unavailable” now 😟
might be your connection Kim. I can see it's still getting views.
No one can understand the feeling and sensation when you hold your baby against you if they did not have the chance to do so..its magical....
Beautiful filming ... LOVED seeing some of the land. Lenny is super adorable and you both are terrific parents. Enjoy this time.
Welcome aboard Lenny!!
He's so adorable! Congratulations you two!!
