tortilla talk question: can you already see distinct differences in the twins appearances that help you tell them apart other than their sex? and are their personalities anything similar to when you were pregnant with them?

I’m a twin and I was born at 32 weeks, my mom had to have an emergency c -section I was only 3 pounds when I was born and I’m also 2 minutes younger than my brother just like your baby girl! Seeing everything you’re going through with your babies in the nicu makes me appreciate my mom so much more, she passed away about a year ago but seeing your experience makes me appreciate what my mom went through

As a NICU nurse in Scotland, seeing these very personal moments of a parent of a baby in NICU its such a privilege to see. We see so much of the upset but those very personal moments when you are home we never quite grasp that situation. Thankyou for sharing your journey, your twins are absolutely lovely and im so happy to see them breathing on their own! And feeding well from your milk well done you!

When Colleen said the women who work and then don’t work after giving birth are also amazing. I felt that . I worked until the day I gave birth and I feel like I never stopped working even though I’ve been a stay at home mom for 6 months now . Not getting income in but happy my son is taken care of by me.

“Flynn, I might need a hug, I think.” *hugs his mama* “It’s okay!” My heart 🥺🥺🥺

Hi colleen!! tortilla talk question: when you guys decide to share the twins names, will we get to hear all of the other potential options as well?

I’d also be open to seeing it. Like Colleen, c section is a huge fear of mine. She thought she couldn’t handle it, and now she is like a freaking boss. I think it would help people who have the same fear she did, bc for me if Colleen can do something hard I feel like I can too.

Eric is the BEST husband, EVER! OMG he's the most supportive and affectionate man I've ever seen. I know it's social media, so things aren't always as they seem, but I feel he's genuinely an awesome man.

Thank you for recognizing us mamas who are “stay at home”, I get a ton of shame for not working ❤️ it’s tough work and I don’t have help other than Daddy and his job is extremely demanding. When my son was in daycare I sobbed everyday because it felt like he didn’t know who I was. I chose to give up my career which in turn helped my husbands job flourish because he could focus more.

Hahah as a nurse, the ones who are very relaxed with the way they handle the babies are definitely the more experienced ones. For me I’m way more carful because I’m a new nurse. We all handle them with love and we all do our jobs they are just more used to it 🥰

Flynn is going to be such a smart lad when he grows up, I can just tell. what a little superstar!

As heartbreaking as it is, to leave the babies in the hospital and come home, I honestly think it will be really helpful for Flynn. Rather than leaving for days and coming home with two babies that need all of your attention, he gets this perfect transition time, where you spend part of the day at hospital but come home and give him one to one attention. You are doing amazing Colleen, please never doubt that. Love from the UK xxx

NICU nurse here! Typically they want babies to be able to eat and breathe on their own for at least 2 days (Could be different at different hospitals), they want the babies to be able to regulate their own temperatures and be "weaned to a crib", and they also need to make a weight of about 4 pounds in order to be safe in a car seat. Could be different at each hospital though 😊

I've also seen video's were the kids needed to pass a car seat test. At least in my country eating by mouth was not a milestone that needed to behit before going home as they can be fed by tube at home.

Oh they love being together!! Its so cute to see twin babies together! And yes of course they know you and your voice!!! I can't wait for you to be able to take them home! Praying for you all!!

10:57 omg😭😭😭 that just made my heart burst!! Your vlogs are so full of love and joy it’s outrageous!!

I love how Colleen is like "Oh no, I messed up the time of birth!" meanwhile my mom doesn't even know the exact time any of her three children were born, lol

I think Colleen has vlogged for so long through the pandemic, it’s just something she’s so used to doing and that helps her mentally being able to talk and get all of her feelings out there. I love that her job helps both her and us! We love your vlogs Colleen!

You are a super hero colleen!! Take the compliments and the praise cause you deserve it. We have watched you struggle so deeply and you are a freaking hero. You are an inspiration

I LOVE that the twins could have contact with each other as well, when being held together. That must feel normalizing to them. Sending love and healing to your entire family.

I just love how Colleen talks to Flynn. I love it so much. Like, she doesn’t talk down to him and listens to what he says and explains things and I just love it.

Love watching your sweet family!!

🥺Every time you show you holding both of your babies i just weeep! I am sooo incredibly happy for you both!!! You are so strong and such a great mom💕 i have had 2 c-sections myself and when my 2nd little girl was born my oldest was just 2. So learning how to be a mom to 2 small children at 2 different stages of life while recovering from another c-section.. the struggle was real!! I made it through one day at a time, one task at a time. It's just mind boggling how our bodies do what we do and we just pick up and keep truckin along taking care of our little ones. My oldest is now 6 and my youngest will be 4 on Christmas morning.🎄😊 (she was even born to Christmas music playing in the OR) so much love to you and your family you are doing an amazing job don't ever forget it!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Tortilla talk question : Will you and Erik be sharing the twins’ names soon, or waiting until after they are able to come home? P.S I’m currently 9 weeks pregnant as a FTM and your videos have been so helpful with showing me what the future could hold for myself, I really appreciate your honesty and courage. You’re a true role model Colleen!

youre so strong. I hope youre doing alright with how gendered the whole process of pregnancy and eventually birthing is. I have two friends who are FTM and have played on women's sports teams and that is tough for them. Babies just need to be loved, they dont care what their parent's gender is.

I appreciate what Colleen says about stat at home moms. It gets so frustrating when people think stay at home moms have it easy because we don’t work. We made this choice because it’s what’s best for our families. In my case I have no help, I’m basically with the kids by myself for majority of the day and it is TOUGH! So thank you Colleen for saying that.

Being a stay at home mom is 100% a full time job and not an easy one! All mamas are awesome but the ones who work jobs besides being a mother are truly working two jobs, not one!! Mama's who stay home are just as amazing and put in SO much work!! I'm not a mama but I used to be a nanny and I know how much work it is taking care of little ones all day! ❤❤ Honestly I think alot of mom's who also work outside the home feel like work is a break from their full time job of being a mom! Sometimes moms just need some adult interaction and a break from their little ones! Stay at home mom's don't get nearly as much of that as mother's who work and spend hours away from home daily! I'm sure it is hard for them being away from their babies/kids while at work but at the same time it's gotta be tough for stay at home mom's who don't get that time away!

Claire Ashley Any of the time you aren’t with your kids, you’re creating a job opportunity (paid or unpaid) for someone else. So that’s an awesome thing if you can find a trustworthy person/community to take on that responsibility as their job. But you don’t have two jobs - you have parental responsibility, as well as a job.

@@joubinha333 Yes, I understand that. My point was, that being a mom is alot of work! No, you don't get paid to do it but it is certainly work whether you are paid for it or not. Was simply agreeing with the OP because many people think stay at home mom's don't work which is absolutely not true! I've been an over full time nanny and I know how much work just that is, and that's not even close to 24/7. Of course it's your responsibility as a parent but that also doesn't mean it isn't work. I have nothing against working mom's either! Absolutely nothing! Working mom's are rockstars and I'm thankful for the ones I've known who have given me awesome work that I truly cherished, my point is just that stay at home mom's are just as big of rockstars as those who have jobs!😊

Congratulations to all the family on the arrival of your precious babies. Being a twin myself, I can speak through my personal experience, I feel that twins heal each other when they are together. You are an Amazing mum and I encourage you to keep holding both babies together on your chest as often as you can.

Your vlogs are therapy for me too ❤️

Ok I just started tearing up when Flynn and Erik were fighting over kissing Colleen, that was the cutest thing

At first I was thinking, “it’s ok to take a compliment!” But then realized how grateful I was that she said how much helps she gets and also how much she needs this for herself. Im pregnant with a toddler and my husband works full time and I don’t have any help at all. I often feel like a failure - I can’t accomplish things like I used to. I used to do a lot and now I can barely get anything done for me and it’s been really hard. So thank you for saying that, Colleen! You’re still a rockstar ;)

You are too Jamie! Pregnant with a toddler is a 24 hour, 7 day a week job. Be kind to yourself; you might be surprised how much you can do in 15 minutes, even if it's just standing outside, drinking a beverage and breathing air.

Just getting through a pregnancy AND staying home with a little one is A LOT! Even if nothing feels done. It is because your work gets ERASED! Cooking, laundry, basic needs just keep needing to be done. Even bare minimum. You change a diaper, they dirty it. You wipe a face they dirty it. You bathe them and put clean clothes on them, ... You guessed it! THEY DIRTY THEM! 😂 So tidying toys and food shopping and everything else gets UNDONE! Just snuggle the toddler and do not worry about the cobwebs. They grow up SO bloody fast. The cobwebs will be there later I promise! SAHM of 20 yrs to daughters ages 15, 20, 25 & 29 (step daughter). The youngest has always chosen to homeschool. My pregnancies were rough too! Insanely rough so that my OB/GYN begged me not to have more kids bc it could mean my life! If you add in anything like undiagnosed ADHD or helath issues then it is just anazing your are all alive at the end of the day! Good job Jamie keeping humans alive. 😉 hugs from Central Florida!
