You can get an unflavored protein powder that can be put in breads or pancakes or waffles or soup. It’s super helpful to slip in some extra protein.
Similar to how Chris sneaks spinach into the kids taco meat 😂
What a great idea 👍
Is the flavor actually masked? Does it change the texture of the food you use it in? I'm so curious!
I was going to recommend putting protein powder in smoothies and shakes too. They have some amazing flavors out there.
But if your lactose please be carefully and don’t drink it too much cause your body has a hard time digesting protein
You know how when kids don’t want to eat their veggies, you can hide them in food? Do that with the food your craving! If you’re craving mac and cheese, can you put chicken in your mac and cheese for protein? Or put extra meat and veggies in your chili? Or put protein powder in your cookies that you make? You’re a super creative person and I think that you will for sure come up with awesome recipes by doing this :) best wishes Colleen, love you queen!!!
Omg dream is that rly you. Do you watch Colleen too
Great ideas!! I hope that can work for Colleen!
Protein powder in baking is a great idea!!
I sprinkle chocolate protein powder on top of peanut butter spread on a rice cake! Rule1 protein is really yummy and doesn't have any chalk taste or anything. Chocolate fudge protein mixed with almond coconut milk blend is a literal almond joy and its amazing
Or do hidden veggies Mac and cheese. Put some squash, carrots, and cauliflower (I think) and of course cheese and other regular mac n cheese ingredients.
Colleen, I have boy/girl twins too and I literally skipped out of the hospital after my c-section because the pain of recovering from major abdominal surgery was NOTHING compared to being pregnant 😂 Twin pregnancy is no joke. Mine was awful in completely different ways than yours is, but I too (along with literally EVERY TWIN MOM I KNOW) got gestational diabetes--the hormones in the 2 placentas almost guarantee it, even if you don't have a single other risk factor. I remember sobbing to my doctor about it and asking if I had diabetes now, and he was like "No 😂 It's called gestational diabetes for a reason! If you had normal diabetes we'd just call it diabetes!" I honesty think twin moms are the only other people who really understand what you're going through. You're doing an AMAZING job!!!!!
SHE MENTIONED YOU IN HER MOST RECENT VIDEO!! ❤️❤️
@@dogsarecool138 YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT MADE MY LIFE
I love how whenever Flynn sings/dances, he puts his hand on, like, the back of his hip? It’s so freaking cute 😂🥰
I think he’s mimicking Miranda? Either way it’s freaking adorable 🥰😂❤️
Non-Meat Protein Foods 💖:
-Eggs (6g per egg! Protein is mostly in the whites)
-Greek Yogurt (23g per cup!)
-Cottage Cheese
-Tofu
-Lentils
-Chickpeas and Beans
-Hemp Seeds
-Oats
-Nuts/Nut Butters
Obviously double check that you can have these when pregnant 🙏🏻
Chia seeds too! Greek yogurt with chia seeds is yummy!
I also love peanut butter toast with banana and chia seeds 🤤
Also protein powder in baking, I make muffins every Sunday night and add 2 scoops of protein powder to the milk or dry ingredients to make it incorporate easily
there is actually more protein in the egg yolk! however there is more egg white volume in a standard sized egg which is why you're right!
@@saragirouard8582 huh I never knew that! Thanks for letting me know 💖
FLYNN’S POSES WERE ABSOLUTELY KILLLLING ME 😂😂😂
Right? LOL he's such a little ham :P
Flynns little performance reminds me of when Parker does his spontaneous performances at any and all family gatherings. So adorable! ❤
I was thinking the same thing!! 😂 i bet when flynn gets a little older they will have incredible performances
And he already knows the show must go on ie continues to dance and sing through coughing
“and i’m basically useless” colleen, i know you said it jokingly, but you are not useless! you are going through a lot with your health and keeping yourself and your babies healthy. talk to and about yourself how you would to or about a friend: with compassion and empathy. you wouldn’t shame anyone else for needing extra rest and care for health reasons, and you shouldn’t shame yourself either! we love you and you are doing great!!!
Amen girlfriend
Like hun... You're literally growing not ONE... BUT TWO WHOLE HUMANS 😂😂 That's a LOT in my opinion
You got this girl. All those baby hormones are making you temporarily insulin resistant. It's super hard to avoid with multiples! Don't be hard on yourself. Let's hope your liver acts normal for a few more months!!
For your high-protein foods do you like eggs, black beans, turkey or pistachios? Those are all high in protein and I believe broccoli is as well maybe those foods could help
@@allie6469 plus she can have all the other turkey besides just the deli meat (baked turkey, turkey burgers, and she can replace hamburger with ground turkey)!
sometimes i just eat spoonfuls of PB when i need to eat but dont feel like it!😂😂
And lentils
and quinoa is high in protein, quinoa salads are really yummy
Pumpkin seeds!! It's one of the most protein dense foods.
Flynn’s little belly hanging out while he’s performing haha so cute. Wish my belly looked that cute when it hangs out 😂😂
Colleen, I think the “if I don’t crave it I can’t eat it” is an ADHD thing because I have that with motivation for different things. I think there are probably ways to add unflavored proteins into your existing diet! It makes sense that you feel the way you’re feeling!
That's a good point. I have ADHD too, and my husband will ask me what I want for dinner tomorrow, and my answer will be "I have no idea. It's not tomorrow yet."
I had gestational diabetes and felt like such a failure when I'd check my blood sugar. It was so upsetting to me. It's sad seeing you feel that way because looking back I know I did nothing wrong, it's just one of those random things that happen. Just by testing and listening to your dr you're doing great. I found it so difficult to change my diet, but I started by researching low GI foods and picked ones I thought I could handle. Just take it easy and do what you can, and fingers crossed you don't actually have it.
Flynn's little jammies are so adorable! He is so talented. It's an absolute joy watching him grow into such a wonderful person. Thank you for sharing him with us.
Flynn’s performance was EVERYTHING! The sass! the confidence! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Don’t forget that it’s always better to eat than to “fail” at eating the right stuff and not eat at all. You got this!
i'm only just starting to understand this concept, but it's SO true. i can't force myself to eat a salad, but i'll eat pizza rolls, so it's just gonna have to work for now
‼️‼️‼️
My nights are no longer complete without watching a Colleen vlog! I’m 36 weeks pregnant this week so I feel like we’ve been on this pregnancy journey together ❤️ this past week has been really really hard for me but watching your videos makes me feel like I’m not alone ❤️ you’ve got this mama!
Omg that’s so exciting! You’re almost there girl, you got this! Hope the rest of your pregnancy is easy and you’ll meet your baby really soon!
My nighttime routine on weekdays is shower brush teeth get in bed watch Colleen and then I won’t go to sleep until like 4
My routine is trying to squeeze coleen in with my tons of school homework it’s my 15-20 mins of relaxation
@@ratzass8787 thank you so much!! ☺️
Congrats. I would have been 36 weeks this Friday, but I had my baby girl this last Saturday. I am so lucky she is doing well and we are heading home tomorrow.
I lost both of my parents to covid on August 26th. Even though I am 40, I feel like an orphan; it is the single most devastating thing that I’ve ever had to attempt to cope with.
Thank you so, so much for using your platform to set a good example for taking covid seriously.
I am so so sorry for your loss. May your parents Rest In Peace. Sending love to you and your loved ones.
Im so so sorry for your loss ❤❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss! Sending you lots of love.
you’re totally valid 💗
i am so sorry for your loss . no one deserves to experience such grief . keeping you in my heart today .
Rolled oats have a TON of protein and they’re super easy to slip into recipes, smoothies, and just as oatmeal. Love you Colleen!!
The craving of certain foods and not being able to eat anything else is related to ADHD! I struggle with that too, and I always felt like a brat until I realized it was literally a symptom. It’s basically the same as hyperfixating on an activity or a song, but instead it’s a food!
yes!!!! I have this problem and it’s sooo frustrating. I completely get what colleen is saying!
This is so validating to hear as somebody who also gets labeled as super picky and has ADHD omg
I have this issue too!! I thought I had an eating disorder but I just have ADHD 🥴
Was looking for this comment! 100% agree
I started absolutely dying when Flynn started preforming the Paw Patrol Theme Song I can’t hes too cuuuuute
The way Flynn was popping out his hip killed me! 😂 he is the cutest little boy! Praying hard for y’all and hoping everything works out! ❤️
A little tip for Erics recovery fromt he teeth removal: since you said that he is "going to be in bed a lot" i just wanted to tell you that my first time i got my wisdom teeth removed (left side) i layed in bed a lot which led to a lot of swelling and swelling in the mouth/teeth area=a lot of pain. So what i did the 2nd time around for my right side removal, i built myself a little throne/fortress with literally like 15-20 pillows in my bed so that i could "lay" in an upright position in bed (I also slept like this for the first 3 nights like a creep xD) which helped me so much and i had barely any swelling and pain the 2nd time around! :) Wishing Eric a fast recovery and greetings from Germany
Now I just got this image in my head of Colleen propped up on pillows sitting sleeping for her pregnancy pains, groaning as she turns. And right next to her Erik is propped up for his wisdom teeth groaning as he moved his mouth. What an absolutely tragi-comical mess! Makes me laugh (with love ofc) because it's just such a "this is real life" image!
Flynn is such a cute, little performer!! It’s so cute to see him walking in his mama’s footsteps🥰🥰🥰🥰
I like how this doc is approaching the Gestational Diabetes tests, as she's actually taking her patient's symptoms into account when deciding what tests to do. I like this!
Colleen or Kory whom ever reads this I am a type 2 diabetic and had gestational diabetes while I was pregnant with both of my pregnancy’s. I eat a lot of overnight oats. That is a meal you can fix so many different ways to give you protein and stay within your carb numbers help control your sugar levels. I even take it to work to keep my energy up. Hope this gives you an idea for your diet to improve your health for you and your little angels in your tummy.
Eggs are amazing when it comes to supporting pregnancy if you can handle them - I personally craved them nonstop when I was expecting. Burgers are a great source of lean protein if you get them from strictly grass-fed cattle and if it's all you can tolerate, add an egg as a filler for an extra protein boost (not to mention the omega from the yolk is great for brain development in a fetus). I had the privilege of having access to fresh beef liver from my parents' farm periodically (hello iron) and found that putting it into a stew was tolerable when I was struggling to keep my iron levels, well, level while preggers. I also drank a decent amount of meat broth to help give me a boost whenever I was having days where I was nauseous and wanted nothing to do with food (sipped hot from a covered travel mug so the appearance doesn't tip me off). I understand that these suggestions won't work for every expecting parent since every pregnancy is different, but it's what worked for me. I hope this helps, you're doing great! ❤
Colleen, you should not feel ashamed of talking about your pregnancy. If pain is a part of it then that’s what it is for you and that’s ok. If you need to let it out we are here to listen. I personally love listening to you talk no matter what the topic is sad, happy or anything else it doesn’t matter. You help me to put my life in to perspective. You are so entertaining, inspiring and strong keep being amazing. 🥰
Lentils are wonderful - high in protein and rich in iron and could really help! Lentil curries or dahls, or even blend them into soup! Lots of beans -- you can make tacos, chilli or add them to almost everything! Plant based protein might be easier to stomach if you are not feeling like eating animal products. I have some trouble with iron defiency and I never feel better than I do after I've had a huge bowl of chickpea curry or hearty chilli! 😊
Once we only had a bag of dry lentils, a few slices of bacon and a few carrots. We chopped up the carrots and bacon and threw them in the instant pot with the dry lentils and water. It was the best!
I pretty much commented the same thing. EXACTLY !! And Bonus, those beans have iron in em, too. :D
As someone who grew up pretty vegetarian because I didn't like meat when I was younger, my mom got proteins in me through kidney beans, black eyed peas, paneer and different nuts and seeds
And quinoa is a great substitute for rice!
@@cheesyDELISH48 Yeah and if she has gestational diabetes she can switch out the starchy rice for quinoa
That performance by Flynn is 1000% the cutest thing ever. Put the biggest smile on my face!! 🤩😊
The hand on the hip. OMG. He's taking after his mom!
The competitive perfectionism and food aversions/ only being able to eat why you want or not eating if nothing sounds good- all ADHD related ❤️
wait, really? wow that explains a lot for me XD
This has been happening to me lately- the foods I used to like just don't hit the happy brain chemicals anymore
i have the worst perfectionism to the point where it's hard to even wanna start tasks. Hopefully getting assessed in December.
If i don't have food aversions, does that mean i can't have ADHD?
@@Cookieeata Not everyone will have every possible ADHD indicator. My husband has ADHD and will eat anything.
There is a chocolate hummus you can have with your fruit to boost your protein levels!! It's so good. And I hope the diet changes and such make you feel better! 🧡
It is SO DELICIOUS!
I've refrained from clicking EVERY notification but I got stuff done so I'm being rewarded with Colleen
Haha I mute all notifications but they still pop up at the top of my screen so I can get the ones I actually want. All that beeping telling me to pay attention to shit is bad for mental health.
I couldn't relate more. I try not to look at my phone when doing hw or things I need to do...but if Colleen posts...I CLICK RIGHT AWAYYYY
Im always busy when she posts so rn i have to catch up- i am so behind rn D:
There's a brand Quest and they have bags of protein chips and they're actually really good! My favorite flavor is the sweet chili ones😋 They have like 19g protein per small bag! Might be worth a try!!!
I love their chocolate peanut butter cups!! Those might not be ideal for gestational diabetes, though. 😅 But I do like the chips. I've had the nacho ones & cool ranch. Good stuff!
Yesss and she always says she has like bars all the time
Great idea!!!
I love their cookie dough bars especially when warmed 🥰
Yes! I've had these and they are delicious.
Thank you! I just failed my 1 hour test and I was so bummed with myself thinking it was my fault. Thankfully, the internet came through for me and hearing you say that you’re in the same boat makes me feel so much better. I’m doing the 3 hr test on Thursday and hopefully it comes back normal.
Flying is the living definition of THE SHOW MUST GO ON 😂😂. I would buy front row tickets to his show
I’m the exact same way with eating!! One thing that really helps me not feel nauseous and helps me crave certain foods is just looking at pictures of that food on Pinterest. Something about seeing that food prepared in different ways just makes it more appetizing somehow!
If you ever see this comment, I hope it helps!!!
If you’re craving something sweet but need protein, one of my favorites is blending a frozen banana, protein powder, a little bit of milk, cocoa powder and peanut butter (optional). It has an ice cream consistency and it’s soooo good.
this is a great idea and super nutrient dense!
hello Hello, i just post my video " TRAVEL WITH ME" if you want to watch th-cam.com/video/CG7me5f9BuY/w-d-xo.html
I had GD despite having a healthy diet, going through medical school, and having midwives as mentors. My morning glucose spiked high and there was no supplement or dietary change that brought it down enough so I had to inject myself with insulin. Sometimes it’s not in our control. Please be easy on yourself! I wish someone told me that during that stressful time in my pregnancy.
I’ve had all four wisdom teeth removed and had a super easy time. What helped me is that after the extraction, I spent the whole day icing my face, an hour on each side. I took Advil to avoid my face swelling and for inflammation. Then avoid too hot or cold foods to not get dry socket and just eat liquids for a week :)
ME TOO!
I lived off of applesauce, mashed potatoes and lukewarm soup 😂
Not sure how Kory and your mom feel about being on camera a bunch, could they maybe do a guest vlog one day when one of them is helping out? Just to see what a day might look like for them with Flynn ☺️
I would DIE if Kory did a vlog omg
@@kacie_shipman omg yesssss!!!
That would be so fun! Great idea. :) Hope Colleen sees this.
Even though Colleen is 6 months pregnant she still vlogs everyday and makes our day😊
@Fidget fun!! I was about to say this. I see this comment every video now. Say something more interesting or unique. She does a lot for being 6 months pregnant we already know :)
Omg, when you started talking about only eating things you crave really helps me. I'm a really difficult eater and I just moved out and now I'm living on my own to go to college. I'm really having a difficult time and eating is stressing me more out then ever!
I am 35 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I am SO DONE. Its so refreshing to see another pregnant person talk realistically about how awful pregnancy is rather than just telling me to enjoy it like everyone else in my life! I am soooo grateful and thankful for this baby and so excited to meet her - but my body is done. I can’t breathe, walking is hard, I’m so sick, I am so miserable and all I want is for her to be in my arms safe. Pregnancy is so hard and so isolating. Grateful for these vlogs!
Colleen, I feel the exact same way about eating and I always have! If I’m not craving something I have no appetite for it and it’s almost repulsive to me. I can be starving but if nothing sounds “good” or I’m not craving something it’s almost impossible for me to eat.
Same! I never knew how to describe it but you worded it perfectly.
I'm exactly like this too.
yes same its so hard
When I was around 19 I got diagnosed with celiac disease so I had to change my diet drastically and suddenly be over the top careful about everything I put in my body. I was similar in the sense that I struggled so hard to eat food I wasn’t in the mood for. But as soon as I got diagnosed, it was so easy for me to go completely gluten free and I’ve never slipped up for the past 6 years! For me it was because I was so sick (hospitalized in the ICU in organ failure) from my celiac that it wasn’t even a question about changing it. For you, I know it’s not quite that drastic, but using your health and your babies health as the motivator to change your diet can be incredibly helpful. I still get nauseous eating foods I don’t want but knowing I’m nourishing my body in the right way helps me to do it. I know it’s frustrating, especially cuz I know you mentioned sitting down and eating the food your craving is one of the few things you’re able to enjoy during pregnancy. But also remembering this is only temporary can be helpful. Knowing my diet change was a lifelong thing meant i had to change my entire mindset. Focus on the reason you’re doing it and that in the grand scheme of things it’s short term and for the best! Do positive affirmations. It sounds ridiculous but just talking yourself through a meal like, “I am enjoying this food. It is nourishing my body and the babies bodies.” As you’re eating can have a positive impact!
the thing about celiac is you dont really even have to change your diet considering how many copycat foods are out there
@@rubyyy325 I have celiacs as well. There are a lot of copycat foods but a lot are not healthy. But like going out to eat doesn’t really happen anymore. Most things are cross contimated, you have to eat at home 95% of the time. The places that say they have gluten free stuff are for people that are choosing to avoid gluten and can afford the cross contamination. Also the gluten free food doesn’t taste the same. The breads and pastas are really different, sometimes gross. It is a hard adjustment to make, not impossible but not necessarily fun if you do it in a healthy way.
@@Angelamarie55 i JUST found a GF pasta that actually tastes good and has a good texture, and it holds up when cold (idk if you make cold pasta dishes ever but noodles are usually so hard and gross that way). If you can find them near you, Taste Republic GF noodles are the best I’ve found. I can’t do corn either so it took me forever to find a good one that didn’t have corn!
@@Angelamarie55 gluten free is healthier 😂 i agree you cant really go out but going out doesnt really have anything to do with colleen having to force feed herself yk ? only problem with being gluten free is the price difference.
@@rubyyy325 not always though! in a lot of gluten free stuff there can be extra/other unhealthy ingredients added to make up for the lack of gluten & make it taste better lmao
oh my golly gosh. Flynn and his beautiful dancing and singing and giggling actually had me smiling and laughing so much. You guys always brighten my day ❤️❤️❤️
Colleen
Colleen! I have ADHD too and it's hard for me to eat meals unless I really want to eat what I am eating. I am a speech language pathologist and one of our area's is working with people with swallowing disorders. If a person has issues attending to a meal (like people with ADHD) it can be hard to find the motivation to eat that less desirable option. I hope this helps you understand what may be going on. I'm personally still working on figuring out how to combat this at my own meal times, but I find that if I mix a little of what I want to eat with what is best for me it gets me to eat more of the later.
@Shannon Randall my son is adhd and he does not like to bite down on things and he also stuffs his mouth with a lot of food at once. You think that is adhd related? Thanks a lot
I have a swallowing disorder and until recently I was only able to eat very few calories a day, fatigued all the time, it was a nightmare. After the proper help and medication it's like night and day. Eating issues are soo challenging.
YES EXACTLY!! i just commented that it was a adhd thing :)
@@alexandralawson9578 I could be, a lot of people with ADHD have sensory seeking behavior and sensory aversions. He may not like the sensation of biting down on things, but he may crave a feeling of fullness in his mouth.
@@shannonrandall5924 I got ya makes sense ty
Flynn’s paw patrol performance is the funniest/cutest thing I’ve ever seen
I’ve just had surgery and the whole food thing you’re talking about, I can relate sooo much!!! I’m so stressed about eating, I can only eat what I crave and it’s so frustrating!!! 😫🤣 I’m watching you eat pickles and wiiiiiishing I could just eat some pickles haha! I wish you the best Colleen, but I am with you right now (just not pregnant, just very sore and in pain from surgery haha!) 🥰🥰🥰
Flynn’s performance was adorable!! His hip pop and hand on his hip, I’m dying 😆🤣
I’ve had to figure out how to add protein to my diet due to nausea/lack of appetite.
Best way for me was to get Shamrock brand vanilla protein shakes. They have 30g of protein and just taste like vanilla milk, no icky protein taste. I use the shake in fruit smoothies instead of milk and can easily stomach it. Hope this helps!!
Edit: the shakes are also low in sugar, so that might help with the gestational diabetes.
my mom actually had gestational diabetes when she was pregnant w me!! she said it literally only lasted until she gave birth, and right after she had her c-section her blood sugar was low again. she’s now perfectly healthy and u probably already know but just to calm u down it’s a normal thing to have, and it’ll soon be in the past. u have no idea how much support u have rn colleen, i hope the rest of ur pregnancy goes well and ik ur twins will be beautiful and will have such an amazing momma and family.
IF your blood sugar level is high, then food cravings become even more intense. It's a frustratingly ironic and vicious cycle! Increasing protein and reducing sugar intake will help, but it takes a couple of days for those cravings to subside. YOU CAN DO IT!
Yess!! I have pcos and I had to learn this as well. I wish I could thumbs this up 100 times!
@@leahsullivan4236 omg me too!!! Pcos cysters!! I saw AnnMarie’s comment and I was like GIRL DON’T I KNOW IT 😂😂
I love Flynn's "show" his little dance is so reminiscent of Miranda! 😂😂
I drink the fairlife protein 30g shakes because I had the same issue with protein. It was super hard to force myself to eat. I’m now near the end, and thankfully I’m doing okay with proteins again but for 3/4 of my pregnancy I hated meats!
I'm going to keep suggesting an SI belt for your pelvic pain. It helps stabilize your pelvis so the tendons in the middle of your pelvis don't stretch as much and helps with pain so much!
It helped mine too. I hope this comment gets pushed to the top.
@@cpru957 I've commented this on pretty much every video that she talks about pelvic pain so here's hoping this time it actually gets enough attention that she'll see it.
Omg Flynn is so adorable, I love when he's performing and he puts his little hand on his hip 😍 too flippin cute!! How did you manage to make such a perfect little human!? I can't wait for the twins to get older and see their personalities come out. I'm sure they will be just as awesome and adorable as Flynn. Way to go Colleen and Eric, you two are such amazing parents and just people in general 😊 love you all and wish all 5 of you a great day❤️🤍❤️🤍
I’m so happy you have Flynn to help keep you laughing and smiling throughout your pregnancy when you are feeling so miserable ❤️
Collen and her family makes everyone's day!! Flynn is more than anyone could ask for!!
I'm 39 and had my wisdom teeth out earlier this year. it wasn't as bad as I thought. still sucked but it wasn't horrible.
make sure to have some jello made the night before. lots of rest and fluids. hugs to you both!
hello Hello, i just post my video " TRAVEL WITH ME" if you want to watch th-cam.com/video/CG7me5f9BuY/w-d-xo.html
COLLEEN! I’m type 1 Diabetic and I’m the same way where I can only eat food I crave. What I do is always have the food/snacks that you know you will almost always be able to eat. Just have it around so when you are hungry or want a snack you can have it. Something really helpful with the diabetes aspect is carb free foods. Most cheese, meat, and eggs are carb free so they won’t affect your blood sugar levels. I know not the biggest fan of those things but look up other carb free foods and see what you think you could stomach most of the time. Hopefully this was helpful ❤️ love you!
I AM THE SAME WITH FOODS AND CRAVING
I started doing this thing, where when I’m hungry, I start looking at photos of foods that I want to be eating (like chicken, etc), so like look at photos of cooked chicken recipes and stuff, so I start craving it 🥰 I hope that helps!!!
Also, that Flynn giggle was THE CUTEST
Colleen is making EVERYONE’S day so much better ❤️
Yes 🥰
I had GD and it was because my placenta was not producing insulin soooo it’s not because I did anything wrong or eat unhealthy. It was horrible having it but you get through it ❤️
100% it isn't because you didn't eat right, or because of your weight.
Oh my goodness!! Flynn singing Paw Patrol is AMAZING 💖💕💖
You sitting down eating pickles and talking to us was such a mood
I have had a terrible day. But Flynn's performance had me cracking up and made the day all better. :)
I almost chocked to death with laughter when Flynn started violently coughing then he kept going on like THE SHOW MUST GO ONNN (clearly the theatre gene coming thruu) HAHAHAHA
Flynn put his HEART into that performance 😂💛✨
Hi hun, I became a diabetic after a major surgery. I totally understand your worries about feeling like you’ll be “failing “ if you get bad numbers. But-please be patient with yourself, it is very tricky to get the hang of! And you have also been craving the fruit this pregnancy, which can definitely make the blood sugar spike. Take it one day at a time like you’ve been doing and don’t beat yourself up. I still don’t always have my sugars under control after years of living this life. Take care! 😊
I've been watching you for AT LEAST a decade! I just moved out of my parents' and am living in a new city over three hours away. I'm definitely homesick but always feel a wave of relief watching your videos. You're definitely my comfort person
omg yay i wasn’t expecting a vlog today this was such a nice surprise ☺️ my day is always better with colleen!! love watching her and her babies grow ♥️♥️
Flynn and his performance is AAAAAWESOME!
Flynn's laugh is so contagious, I cannooooot 🥺
love u ♡
You're first 🥇 lucky
Good luck having Colleen read this one🤪
@@nickkulagin549 good luck with whatever you are going through ♡
Hey Colleen! I don’t know if you will see this but I want you to know that you are my idol!! You are such an amazing person and you helped so many people along as myself. You make me so happy! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and much love 💕
“i want to impress everyone with my numbers” hee hee i relate to this like every time someone takes my blood pressure etc
also info you mentioned somewhere recently about adhd and food aversion was so helpful for my brain. ive never quite understood why i get so annoyed with food/eating like i do (while also loving food and finding it central to my days)
Thank you Flynn... I was having a horrible morning and you made me smile and put me in a better mood. Cutest thing ever.
Oh my freaking goodness that Flynn footage was EVERYTHING! It's so cool how naturally theatrical and musical he is, of course it's not surprising with the parents and family he has, but it's still so cool and adorable to see ❤
Colleen you are such an amazing person and you inspire me. I relate so much to you and your videos brighten my day and give me hope. Keep on being amazing!
It’s the little hand on the hip pose during his performance that just kills me! He’s the cutest!
Flynn performing is the best thing ever!! Thank you for sharing that with us!
I also have ADHD and I totally experience the same thing when it comes to food and only really being able to eat what I have a craving for (same goes for another friend of mine who also has ADHD). For me I think it’s because of my difficulty making decisions (which is part of impaired executive functioning in ADHD), as well as sensory sensitivities. Texture, taste, smell, and even sight can all make me feel nauseous depending on what food is in front of me or I’m trying to eat. Sometimes I even start to feel this when I’m halfway down through the food and it all of a sudden is super unappealing and if I try to keep eating it I feel queasy or gag. Intuitive eating has really helped me when it comes to eating or finding ways to transform foods so the sensory component isn’t so intense (like cooking a vegetable different or adding meat inside of a dish rather than by itself).
Replying just to support this, i also have adhd and have the exact same food and eating issues!
Huge credit to you colleen always uploading even though you are going through so much we love and support you always xx hope you, Eric, Flynn and the twins are all safe and well
Flynn coughing and choking and then immediately back to "p-p-p-paw patrol!!!" without skipping a single second hahaha
IM THE EXACT SAME WAY WITH EATING FOODS YOURE CRAVING. It's so nice to hear someone else deal with it. I will also randomly feel queasy about foods I like and not be able to eat them for weeks.
colleen thank you so much for vloging even though you say they are “boring” WE STILL LOVE YOUR VLOGS!! thank you for being you! You are so amazing we love you all!💗💜

Tasty smoothie recipe:
8oz milk (use soy for protein!)
Handful spinach
Chocolate protein powder scoop
A banana
Big glob of peanut butter (more is ok!)
Good handful frozen blueberries
Several frozen strawberries
Blend everything together except the banana and frozen fruit. Add the banana in one chunk at a time, blueberries all together, and one strawberry at a time. Should be kinda purple when it’s done!
Frozen fruit is in place of ice, so adjust the amount to your liking.
If left out for awhile it will oxidize or something and turn kinda brown, but it still good to drink.
When it comes to wanting that perfect number. Think about giving yourself a range to be in, you have to give yourself a little leniency no one can be perfect. 🤩 Your doing amazing thank you for sharing this journey.
Hii can't wait to see the twins. Flynns going to be so happy and he's gonna be a great big brother. :))
Not unless he becomes an eagle

COLLEEN! You’re 6 months through, only 3 to go! Maybe even less! You can do this Queen! Also just think about having your beautiful babies on Christmas 🥰
i always get sad when colleen doesn’t post it’s literally apart of my night routine but obviously i understand. she makes everyone’s day so much better, loved this.
When my mom was pregnant with my siblings and I (we're triplets), she was heavily nauseous every day, and literally all she could get down is the Rice Krispies cereal. She was basically put on bedrest from the moment she and my dad found out they were having triplets, and by the time she was in labor she was so used to all of her symptoms she just had as she describes as a little bit of back pain and she didn't even know she was in labor! Anyways, I wanted to share this story because pregnancy is hard for a lot of people, but the people who have to birth and raise multiples are literally the strongest people I know. I still don't know how my mom did it all. She is literally superwoman, and you are too! Good luck!
omg what’s it like being a triplet?
I was gestational diabetic for both of my single pregnancies. It was rougher on the 1st pregnancy than the 2nd, but I made it through. And neither of my kids nor I have developed diabetes.
You’ve got this Colleen!!!!!!
Add ground flax to everything! It's a great way to sneak in some plant based protein to things like yogurt or smoothies or salads, mixed into burgers or oatmeal and so much more.
