Also great advise on starting a KZfaq channel. I just started mine and am still getting into the rhythm of filming (building a routine with it and having kids is crazy lol) but I'm so excited for it to be a mom hobby and share what I feel called to share and use it as a creative outlet about being intentional :) your channel was one of the first ones I stayed watching so I owe you a lot! Your words are encouraging!!

It's so refreshing to hear the way you talk about your milk supply and formula. I'm in the same boat. Taken every supplement, done all the things and just have to do formula to supplement. I hope my milk makes it as long as yours did! There are so many things you can stress about as a mom and it's great to see how relaxed you are for my own mental health. It's so easy to go nuts and stress at home all day with a newborn. My baby was 3 mo early, so like you I can't compare her to other babies her age.

I absolutely love your advice about there not being "a right time"... we get so caught up in methods and I just enjoyed reading and learning about many methods then I just incorporated what I wanted based off what I thought would work with our kids personalities. What I did with my first son is completely different with my second because of the season and how different they reacted to certain things. Following our own intuition is key, God put there for a purpose :) great questions and answers. Again, love your laid back personality on parenting and your perspective!!

I loved how you explained how having twins affects your parenting 'timeline'. I never thought of it that way. I'm feel the same way when it comes to names - I also love the more classic/older names (not classic in the common sense). I have two boys - Maxwell and Wyatt

All the things you say about twin sleep, I did too, and it was great advice. I see differences, in small ways in your girls too. My girls I could see differences as they aged, but many photos if not taken at the right angle I can't tell at all. They are nearly 24 so all those print photos we have unlabeled crack us up...um, I don't know could be you, could be your sister. More subtle differences were evident by the time they were 2-3 years old. I love watching your girls, it really takes me back. Thank you so much.

I had such an easy twin pregnancy, I felt awesome after the first few weeks for night sickness subsided. I had them at 32 weeks 3 days, I think part of the reason they came so early is because how great I was feeling and over did it, I was still working 40hrs a week as an X-ray tech which is pretty physical. My girls are 6yrs old next week (July 31st) and it's been such an amazing experience having twin girls!

I always wish I had a bumbo for that time when my daughter couldn't quite sit up but I do have a bumbo multi seat and highly recommend it, it's for older babies who can already sit up. My daughter is 16 months and we use it all the time when we go out because it has a tray and you can strap it to a chair and use it as a booster seat and she absolutely loves sitting it in on the floor just during playtime too.

I just love watching your babies on your IG story. They always give me the biggest smile! You are an AWESOME mom and I know you know what's best for your babies... just want to share a personal experience... thumb sucking is awfully cute but it can lead to SERIOUS teeth and palette issues. I worked in orthodontics for a few years and my mother has done it for 30 yrs. there are sooo many kids who have to come in and get special (expensive) appliances for issues caused by thumb sucking. Like I said, I know you are an awesome mom and I hope you don't take this as me "mom shaming" you because that is definitely not my intention. Just wanted to share my experience because we know moming is hard and we gotta stick together ;-)

I so relate to your number of kids!! I have identical twin boys, and I think I want to have another, but I'm afraid if its a boy, he'll feel too left out from his brothers, and I'd need to have a fourth so he would also have a buddy. But I think if I had a girl, I'd be ok with 3. Who knows - right now the boys are 18 months and completely crazy and I'm not looking to have another in the very near future!

That's awesome you breastfed for as long as you did! I am almost 10.5 months with my daughter :) we absolutely love he bumbo, but we have the one that can be used as a high chair. I couldn't (and still can't!) decide on a high chair so we have used the bimbo from 4 months through now at 10 months. Highly recommend getting the bumbo multi seat instead of the floor seat!

My mom has 4 kids I'm the 2nd oldest, my younger brother who's 17 and I'm 19 we get along like best friends! I also have a little brother who's 8 almost 9 and we're also really close, my older sister and baby brother have a 18 year age difference 😂 simply because my little brother was an accident! But we all get along really well and have a very close relationship, since me and my brother are only a 2 year age difference we have a very strong connection and as you put it "a buddy". Sometimes my mom wishes she would have another baby after my youngest sibling so he could have a "buddy" but my dad was like nope! Lol

when i was pregnant i learned that babies cry alot in the first 3 months cause theyre supposed to be another 3 months in the mothers womb butsince a womans body cant hold babies in longer, they are not completely "finished" so they cry a LOT! haha so your twins were 1 months born earlier that means 4 months for them.. idk if it makes any sense or if you can understand me but im a huge fan of your channel and im inspired of your homedecor!
