    Erik & Colleen’s MISCOMMUNICATION recap:
    Erik:
    bought extra dessert supplies for Colleen’s dessert idea because he thought it would be nice to support her idea. He also provided her with validation that it was a great idea even though he did not want to eat any of the dessert.
    Colleen:
    Had a great dessert idea that her husband seemed excited for too due to the validation and extra supplies he purchased for it. She was under the impression he wanted some due to his perceived enthusiasm for the idea even though he did not state that he wanted some.
    Erik:
    since he did not want any he became triggered by the mess of the dessert items being out. Due to him not stating that he wanted dessert, he perceived the items being out as another mess that Colleen left.
    Colleen:
    despite being usually messy, Colleen assumed Erik’s enthusiasm meant he wanted some dessert too so she left the ingredients out assuming he would want to use them for his own dessert plate.
    Overall issue:
    just a large miscommunication due to Colleen misinterpreting Erik’s enthusiasm and support for the dessert as him wanting some, as well as Erik not conveying in the first place that he didn’t want any dessert even though he would move heaven and earth to provide Colleen and her twins with dessert ingredients lol.

    My mom had twins 17 years ago, but she gave the advice of having each parent have a baby their in charge of at night. My dad took my sister if she woke up, and my mom took my brother if he woke up. My mom pumped milk too so if my sister woke up, my dad could feed her without my mom getting up. My mom said this helped both of them get sleep without just one person getting up constantly.

    Mum of twins here. They’re 10 now but I remember those early days so well. I have 3 children so I know what a singleton is like too. I can assure you it doesn’t feel like double the work. It’s really only like 50% more work. Yes you’re feeding two babies but you’re up feeding one anyway. You don’t need any special products for twins I promise. There’s only one thing I’d recommend and that’s a large feeding pillow for tandem feeding. If you can feed them at the same time, whether that’s bottle or breast you’ll give yourself a little bit of extra time between feeds. You can do this. The fact you care so much about getting right is a sure sign you’re gonna to be a wonderful mum of 3.

    • @shelleybreckon
      @shelleybreckon 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh I have a solution for that! I put a bouncer on each side of me on the couch. As soon as one stopped feeding I would pop them in the bouncer while the other was feeding still. Then I’d pop the other one in the bouncer and lift each bouncer onto the floor. I only had to do that for a few weeks then I worked out how to stand up while holding one of them up on each shoulder in a burping position.

    I’m a mama if twins with having a singleton prior. Yes I was TEERRIFED my whole entire pregnancy. There were lots of tears! Yes it’s very hard to care for two babies plus one. But it goes by so fast and you will get through it. I don’t want to scare you but the first few years are the most difficult. But once you past that stage it is so much fun!! My twins are now 18 just graduated high school and are best friends. Trust me I didn’t feel like I was Lucky back then for getting blessed with two babies because when you are in the thick of it is freaking hard. But now I look back and realize how lucky and how blessed I am to be a twin mama! You will get through all of it. Yes you will cry yes it’s incredibly hard but it’s all worth it in the end. Just try to slow down and enjoy it. I didn’t do that and I really wish I did.

    Twin mama here. I was very overwhelmed with idea of raising 2 babies. I spent my whole pregnancy sick, or in pain, or both. I was petrified of the C Section. I ended up on modified bedrest for 4 weeks at the end. I will say that I have anxiety, and I always make things out to be worse than they actually are, which is exactly what happened. The C Section wasn’t nearly as bad as I had made it out to be in my head. Recovery was rough, but manageable, and I was too exhausted to really care anyway. My husband and I tag teamed the nights, I ended up formula feeding due to no milk production, and by a month in we had a routine down that we could do at 3am without even speaking to each other. “Like Clockwork” was our mantra.
    I had ZERO experience being a parent, I really had no idea how hard it was going to be, but I wouldn’t give up having twins for anything in the world. You’ve got this! You will find ways to make everything work for you! Pack N Plays became my most valuable item for nights, and baby gates everywhere when they became mobile. I would pen them into a circle with toys when I needed to get things done. TONS of burp cloths, and onesies (twins are some serious laundry producers)
    Make sure you celebrate every moment and milestone, and take lots of pictures because I was too exhausted to remember much, so I’m glad I have those to look back on. I’m rooting for you!

    My boyfriend is an identical twin. While I personally can't speak on behalf of having twins myself, my boyfriend's mom always said that she would have breakdowns and panic attacks all the time. She said that while it was overwhelming, she believed that God wouldn't give her twins if she couldn't handle it. Whether it is a deity or the universe, just know that you are strong and can handle it. She also recommends all twin moms ask for help. You are not a failure because you need someone to watch your babies for a couple hours while you take care of yourself. This advice comes from my boyfriend as an identical twin, but make sure you treat each baby as a unique individual.

    Twin mom, also a twin so I felt really well prepared. My pregnancy went great, with zero complains. Scheduled a C section at 37w2d with two healthy babies. One was in NICU for 48hrs just out of an abundance of precaution. Use Lucie's list for products, they have a multiples list. Breast feeding twins was hard. Mine were also lazy eaters. So I pumped exclusively and bottle fed with my husband. Hire help at much as you can. #1 tip is to follow a schedule. We followed Mom's on Call to the T. Had babies who slept through the night by 11 weeks.

Clear communication is always a winner--it's funny and inevitable to have some discussions/disagreements with those we live with/spend close time amongst, but yeah, clearly asking for direct yes/no and if presuming, then presuming in the positive for about another's intentions is always best, for sure!

    I had my twins a year ago. The best advice I was given was if one baby is hungry feed both babies. If one baby wakes up wake up both babies. It keeps them on the same schedule as much as possible which honestly was a life saver. I was already so sleep deprived so I couldn’t imagine them not being on the same schedules. Also it really is gonna be a lot of team work. Bathe one baby pass them off the your hubs to dry and dress while you bathe the next.

    Twin momma here! Ok so my babies are technically twins but they couldn't be any more different than each other. They look completely different and I treated them from the beginning as brothers who just happen to be born on the same day 😂 we didn't use their cribs when they came home. We found a double bassinet pack and play for twins. But we quickly realized they needed something else because the spit up was next level. We used a rock and play bassinet. Found out my boys had awful reflux so sleeping with their head elevated did amazing things. I also granted myself the peace of mind of not having to breast feed my twins. My first pregnancy was hard and I struggled with breastfeeding and pumping. My oldest couldn't latch so I would cry as he cried because he wanted a bottle. I decided I didn't have to do that to my mental health this time around. And my husband knew that I could not do all the overnight feedings by myself so he would wake up with me and help me feed and change diapers

    @lorriehopkins4269 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My boys just turned 1, and I have a couple of bits of advice:
    1. Forgive yourself for not doing everything the same way you did last time. If they drink from bottles, that makes sharing the load of feeding two babies much easier! You still bond a TON!
    2. My FAVORITE product was the twin version of the My Breast Friend pillow! It was legitimately the one product that I used that I was sad to pack away.
    3. Schedules and nap times will fail a lot around the 6month point bc everyone wants to either fall asleep, or wake up at different times. Sometimes it helps to assign a baby to a parent for an afternoon to focus on. It gives them one-on-one time, and makes you feel less anxious about both of them if they are being fussy!
    Congratulations!!! It is so hard, and so worth it!!

    Unfortunately it was the 90's when she was pregnant so she can't recommend products. But from what she's told me it sounds like having a good support system is important, whether it's Eric or your mom, sister, etc. That's what made it easier on my mom since she didn't have a maternity leave and had to go back two weeks after giving birth.

  • @DearestMeg
    @DearestMeg 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Twin mom here! First pregnancy I got my double surprise. Twin girls, who are now 8! First, it’s totally normal and OK to be both radically excited for your new babes and also feeling overwhelmed thinking about the logistics of day to day life being our numbered by infants, not to mention your little guy. ❤️ Spoiler alert, you can do this! You, Eric and the babies will figure out what routines work best for you. Schedules are life savers for continuity and structure, flexibility will save your sanity.
    My twins were 5 weeks early and NICU babies for 3 weeks so feeding was a bit more dramatic when we got home: breast feed, pump and formula. Feedings took so much of our time. Ask for help when you need it. Sometimes feeding twins may look like a carefully choreographed dance and other times mass chaos but you’ll master it! With that said, definitely try tandem breast feeding! You’ll definitely want another set of helper hands while you get the hang of it. You’re gonna do great!
