Hi from someone who is a twin: during this time while Wesley and maisy are still newborns, don't forget to take plenty of individual photos of them :-) (without their sibling). From experience having those individual pictures to look back on is so special. I hope you had a good Christmas, especially with Wesley and Maisy being home I'm sure that was amazing
@@Catalina-Winemixer I do know how taxes work, clearly. And yes she still could have used her platform and allowed people to donate in their name. Not take the credit for herself. She is not a saint. Not that it is any of your business but I am “people with cancer” and yeah the bills are really tough. When people claim they are helping but in reality are taking advantage of a situation, that’s not cool. There is zero reason why people need to donate to her in her name. Except for her tax credit she gets every year.
Am I the only one that gets really happy to see the glimpses of Trent? I completely understand and respect that he isn't super camera friendly, but I love seeing that he is truly being involved with the family. I know the Ballingers well enough to be certain that he wouldn't be excluded by them for wanting not to be filmed, obviously, but it's still a nice reminder that they spend time with him and respect his wishes
I completely agree with this and have thought the same while watching the vlogs. It would be interesting to know though if he has a special connection with Luke since they both have similar disabilities (Luke’s speech and Trent’s hearing), plus I think they look a lot alike.
From one pumping momma to another - make sure to get several (and I mean SEVERAL!) sets of extra pump parts. That way you won’t have to clean them during the night. Just keep a bunch of clean parts already attached to bottles in your pumping station! Saves a ton of time and you’ll get a little extra sleep. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!
Also you can put pump parts in the fridge between pumping sessions instead of having to wash them after each session! I was a NICU mom too and the pumping and washing and fortifying bottles is exhausting!
@@sarahcaulder6733 I did this too!!!! Until….I got Thrush and then gave it to my baby. 😮 But, it’s great when you’re in a pinch and have run out of clean parts.
Literally watched your video at 30 weeks pregnant and was so sad for you that you gave birth early. I’ve been there, done that. It’s hard, and it sucks. A week later I gave birth, and your videos of your NICU journey made me feel less alone. When Maisy went home, I balled my eyes out. Two days later, my baby came home too ❤️ thank you for sharing your journey #nicumama Love you Colleen! You are an amazing human
It’s so great to see you getting back to your “normal” self ! After getting through the twin pregnancy, your c section, your babies in the NICU, it’s amazing to see you finally have all your babies under one roof. We all love to see you smile again, especially through all the hard times :)
Tortilla Talk Question:How has you mental health been now that the babies are home? I know you were questioning if you had post partum depression, or if it was just babies in the nicu. Sending love! Love you!
my mom wrote a book called embracing charlie, its on amazon and it’s about her nicu experience with my little brother and his major heart defect. i think it could be helpful to have the perspective of someone who went through the nicu process with a toddler at home, and now has a thriving teenage son! i know the twins aren’t in the nicu anymore which is amazing but still, she’s a wonderful writer and it’s a quick, warm and comforting read 🥰❤️❤️ i hope you all had a wonderful christmas!!! ❤️
tortilla talk question: How did the cats and moose react to the babies? were they confused, calm, or did they not notice? PS: love watching you, and so proud of you and your journey with the twins, I know it was and is still hard, but at least they are home with you. No more hospital trips to see them, they are with you
@@Jrm2107 i don’t think that’s what they meant. you seem like the kind of person to manipulate peoples words a lot but i really don’t think that that’s what they meant, just that they’ve noticed recently that her hair as looked very nice!
Flynn singing "I'm vlogging... It's boring... I'm Coleeeeeeeen!" is the SWEETEST thing ever, BUT when the twins get older I'd love to hear it with all three! 😉 I also wanted to mention a Tortilla Talk question: Does Flynn realize that not everybody is a vlogger like you and your family? Just wondering. Him and Wesley and Maisy are all such sweethearts! 🥰 You're amazing Colleen! Merry Christmas! 🎄
But Colleen, as just one human to another, Carla from Family Reach is absolutely right. You’re an angel. You’re using your platform to do THIS. Like you are actually such a good human, so really, thank you!
Tortilla talk: Now that the twins have been home for about a week have you noticed a change in your mood/depression? In a vlog a while back you talked about how you weren’t sure if you had postpartum depression or if it was just because of the NICU situation. Just curious on how you’re doing emotionally now that your family is all home. I have always loved how open and honest you are about mental health. Love you!! Merry Christmas!!
Not even 5mins in and I’m already crying 😭! Honestly Colleen you are so sweet the fact that all these years on your birthday you raise awareness for childhood cancer! You have such a huge heart! Like this year your babies in the Nicu the up and downs and you still raised for it had no excuses!!!❤️
Little kids correcting their parents that their parents names are grandma and grandpa, not mom and dad, will never not be funny. I’m so happy that you’re able to have your babies with you. After all the chaos you’ve experienced the last two months *this* is the good chaos. *This* is what you want to lose sleep over. Blessings to your family!
Colleen, yes we donated but you delivered! You had the live stream, you used a website, you advertised it, and most importantly you show us how passionate you are about donating to these funds that it made us feel the same! So I love the “honesty” and you giving us credit but please except that you play the biggest part in this! Love you guys!♥️♥️♥️ Continue the love and generosity!
@@janbrastineford3080 to be honest I’m only in middle/ high school but when I graduate from college I would like to be a cancer/health or environmental activist!
I know you won't see this but on the off-chance you do I just want to say that watching your twins grow up ha already meant so much to me in the last few weeks.. I lost my twins February 10th 2014 their names were Alison Louise and Abigail Kay and I just can't wait to live vicariously through you
Ly Colleen, I was a NICU premi baby and to see you with TWINS in the NICU brakes my heart bc it makes me think of what my mum went though with me. Your a wonderful strong woman and I wish you and ur family a very merry Christmas
Can we please just appreciate Colleen right now? she balances her life between vlogging and taking care of her newborn twins and toddler. Thanks so much Colleen and just know that we all love you and support you!!
I hope people realize that when they help those families they are also helping that patient.. When parents have had more rest and had the weight of the world lifted a little then their spirit is hgher which helps the patient enormously. Thank you Colleen for all that you do.
I have a friend battling childhood cancer, I’m so happy someone like you are here to bring families the help they need during the most hard times. You are an amazing human being!! I love you Colleen😘
You are so right about the NICU experience making you more grateful. Your just so happy to finally have your baby home that you don’t care that you never sleep and how hard it is. It’s a feeling that unexplainable
I dont think you understand what a rock and star and human you are. You not only look out for your family but many other families. You are an amazing example of what is good in our world. Sending ♥️
Merry Christmas, Colleen! If and whenever the day comes for me to become a parent, I know I will be 100x more knowledgeable than if I never found your channel. Growing up in a culture that considered pregnancy a taboo subject, your honesty taught me more about this amazing process than any school presentation. Thank you
I hope you had THE most chill Christmas Eve ever! what you described sounded like pure heaven, just you and your little family cozy and lazy in the best way. I also hope you're having the Merriest Christmas ever, so so happy your babies are home and everyone is all together. ❤💚
Good job Colleen! Even while looking after two newborn babies, you can still upload every day, and raise thousands of dollars for charity you are a true queen💕
You and your fans truly are Angels 😇 The amount collected is beyond amazing, I couldn't imagine what these parents are going through, as someone that has had cancer and treatment, my heart cries for the little one's going through this. God bless you for all the smiles and happiness you're creating 🙏
Hi Colleen :) I'm so happy your little ones are home. I was born 7 weeks premature and spent 6 weeks in the NICU the same as Maisy. My mum talks about this being an incredibly hard time in her life and dealing with her own c-sectiom recovery, but your dedication to those little ones and still being there for Flynn - I PROMISE they will treasure it when they're older as you set a great example for them. Keep your head high - you're doing great ❤
Colleen please don't cry. U really did great!Praise god for everyone helping u to do this. U r still very emotional after having those cute little babies. My dad left me some money ir isvearmarked for St.Judes. My dad died in 1983 from cancer. He left me the money I finally received it from my moms estate. I promised my dad to do it for him. And I will. He had a heart like yrs. I had one daughter who need special care preemie and had had other problems trying to life. She is good right now. But it was touch and go for a few yrs. So my dad left the money for this. Bless u for doing this great thing. Many hugs and kisses to those beautiful babies. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOUR FAMILY FROM MINE.
Omg the nursery was so cute you are so lucky to have such good friends to help you with that. And also being a long time donator to Family Research you deserve all the thanks possible and all other donators and all of the people who have supported Colleen!
I love how sweet and smart Flynn is. You are AMAZING with him. I was a nanny for years and you are wonderful how you play with him and how you talk to him and explain everything.
I feel honored to have been able to donate to the fundraiser. The thank you touched my heart. Giving isn't done expecting in return. Knowing that the money can help with the struggle is an incredible feeling. Having the babies home for Christmas was something I prayed really hard for. Tia being home for Christmas is something I prayed really hard for. Both things happened. Merry Christmas Colleen! I hope you had the best Christmas ever!!! 💙💜💙
I feel like your comment about the positive side of coming home from the nicu is very beautiful and relateble to others whove maybe had a scare during/after pregnancy. I personally had a lot of bleeding and issues during my pregnancy that when he was here it was like i could finally breathe and hold him and know he was ok. So i also just feel so grateful despite almost no sleep 🤣🤣
Colleen mentioning the doll ….. I had literally just thought when she was having her heart to heart about how grateful she was for her NICU experience and having her babies home, that Miranda puppet was catching flies behind her 😂 n how her super sweet moment was cute yet hilarious with the facial expression of the puppet 😂 Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas 💋 xx
You're such an amazing person for supporting this cause. It shows that you're an angel to these kids and it's a great quality to have. You rock girl. Maisy and Wesley are lucky to have you as a mom. Congrats on the babies
You go girl!! You are a great mom and are so strong!!! You can do this and you have a whole army of people who support you! You are surrounded by people who love you and YOU CAN DO THIS!! I know you will never see this but you are a literal QUEENNN!! 👑👑👑👑 Merry Christmas!!!
I love seeing you so happy and hope you had wonderful time and great holiday and the nursery was so cute 😡🎁🥰🎄♥️❄️❄️❄️✨✨🎄🥰🎁😡♥️❄️❄️✨✨🎄🎄💚💚♥️❄️🎁🎁❄️🤬✨💚🎄🎄♥️♥️🎁🎁
What an amazing perspective you’ve gained Colleen💗 I’m so glad that you’ve turned this experience around for the good. You are helping so many mamas out there with their NICU journey. We love you ☺️
Colleen i love your family sm! For tortilla talk could you mention how it is for you since maisey and daisy’s name rhyme ! Does it confuse anyone? I love you so much ! - Paris
I love ur videos. Always make my day. On dec 23rd my husband passed away we have 2 boys been together 17 yrs married 16. It was from complications of COVID-19. His liver n kidney was shutting down bp kept going down he was on a ventilator had a couple different infections etc... Its hard. But trying my hardest to stay strong. Tuesday we lay him down to rest. I still cant believe ill never cuddle with him again never gonna kiss him bye etc. My kids i feel bad for its gonna be hard but i got this. Please have a merry christmas n everyone plz stay safe n plz dont take ur loved ones for granted. Drew other then my kids was all i had no dad mom nothing. I got his family but no one ever stays n contact idk merry christmas all
The video of the woman thanking Colleen. That's why she does what she does. She loves to help people. I know it felt amazing knowing kids can get treatment and sleep good and etc. your an amazing soul Colleen🥺❤️❤️
Hey COLLEN I appreciate you and how you get through things I am having a lot of anxiety going to school and In lol ye basically so I’m going to power through like you do!
So nice to see you doing better! Super proud of you, Eric and the twins for getting through your NICU journey. You’re an amazing mum Colleen and I hope you continue to realise how fantastic you are and your family. Merry Christmas! ❤️
I respect you for doing a private off camera Christmas Eve. You guys deserve it….I do miss the Miranda under the tree opening bad gifts from her mom videos lol. Merry Christmas!
I was watching the documentary last night before I saw this video. I was so excited to see you! I remembered the vlog immediately and you were great in the doc!! Great job!
merry christmas girl! i was a nicu premie baby and it’s great to see you care so much about your twins because after the 2 weeks i was out the hospital my mom left me with my grand parents and i haven’t seen her in years. your vlogs bring me so much happiness because you’re such a great mother to all your kids. stay strong. you’re definitely stronger than my parents.
Colleen, no matter when you post, you know all of us are here for you. Stay the amazing person you are, Flynn, Wesley, and Maisy have an incredible mama!
In my country, we celebrate the day after Christmas as much as we celebrate the "first" day of Christmas, and I'm alone this year for 2nd Christmas day, because my partner is visiting his family in Hungary and we're in lockdown. But this has made me feel sooooooooo freaking cozy and just like i'm a part of something without having to actually take part in anything? So thank you 🥰 you're my favorite
Tortilla talk question: is the fog gone? Was the person correct when they said the fog and depression just immediately goes when both babies came home? P.s you're a rock star. Love your videos. Xx
Hi from someone who is a twin: during this time while Wesley and maisy are still newborns, don't forget to take plenty of individual photos of them :-) (without their sibling).
From experience having those individual pictures to look back on is so special. I hope you had a good Christmas, especially with Wesley and Maisy being home I'm sure that was amazing
never thought abt this side of it ! commenting in hopes she sees
I am also a twin, and I second this!!! 🤍
True we're not twins but i only have a couple of pictures by myself, there're so speacial.
I hope Colleen sees this
Some people tell their kids: you are one minute older. And kids get so fixated on it like it really made a difference.
I don't think I will ever get tired of hearing Flynn singing "I'm vlogging... its boring... I'm colleeeeeeen!" Merry Christmas!!!
He says I’m the queen……
I'm vwogging...its boween... I'm Coween!"
I have to say it in the Flynn accent! So cute!!
It literally gets stuck in my head and I sing it all day 🤣
One day the twins will sing it
@@angel_existential yessss that was perfect! Love this intro! So many people hear “I’m the queen” tho 😅 which is also cute!
Erik: “I don’t want any Christmas decorations with glitter because it’s messy”
Also Erik: “I’m going to cover the house with silly string :)”
Bahaha!
From a former cancer mom, you’re an angel Colleen! The world needs more people like you in it! ❤️

What an amazing perspective you’ve gained Colleen💗 I’m so glad that you’ve turned this experience around for the good. You are helping so many mamas out there with their NICU journey. We love you ☺️
I love seeing Trent chillin in the background while Colleen and Flynn are playing
Tortilla talk question: do you ever get noticed in public? if so, how does flynn react to a stranger asking for a picture? ❤❤ love u
Im being induced and i am not worried if my baby goes in the nicu cuz of you! I ferl less scared about it. Im going to be 34 weeks
Colleen i love your family sm! For tortilla talk could you mention how it is for you since maisey and daisy’s name rhyme ! Does it confuse anyone? I love you so much ! - Paris

So happy the twins came home!!! Colleen is so freaking strong
Flynn’s southern accent absolutely sends me every time 😂💗
So happy Colleen that your family is doing better. I am so glad that you are all doing better.
The video of the woman thanking Colleen. That's why she does what she does. She loves to help people. I know it felt amazing knowing kids can get treatment and sleep good and etc. your an amazing soul Colleen🥺❤️❤️
Hey COLLEN I appreciate you and how you get through things I am having a lot of anxiety going to school and In lol ye basically so I’m going to power through like you do!
I can hear Erik playing 'Blackbird' in the background while you and Flynn play with his trucks. His quasi-southern accent is to die for 😆
i've literally spent christmas alone just re-watching your vlogs all day. thank you colleen 🖤
Me: watches the day after Christmas
I awesome car Flinn green is my favorite color to. Merry Christmas 🎅🤶🌲☃️
Tortilla talk question: does flynn take more of his personality from you or Eric? And who do you think the twins will act like? ❤
I’d say colleens personality more
Ok the comments on here is disturbing, and that's a great question I would love to know
He mixture of both! You can see it!
I see alot of Erik in him. His mannerisms and style. Personality maybe more of Colleen
@@haileyjane9321 I was beginning to think I had a virus !
Flynn saying I'm vlogging .... its boring..... I'm colleeeeeeeen is literally Flynn history♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So nice to see you doing better! Super proud of you, Eric and the twins for getting through your NICU journey. You’re an amazing mum Colleen and I hope you continue to realise how fantastic you are and your family. Merry Christmas! ❤️
Oh Colleen, you are truly such an angel! 💖
I respect you for doing a private off camera Christmas Eve. You guys deserve it….I do miss the Miranda under the tree opening bad gifts from her mom videos lol. Merry Christmas!
I LOVE your videos so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!You deserve to have a lot of family you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colleen is the actual queen of TH-cam, like ❤️❤️💕💕
That is so amazing on how much you have raised 💖💖💖😊 😊😊💞💞💞
Colleen I just want to say you have helped me so much and always make me feel awesome I love you and what you do 💋🥰
I was watching the documentary last night before I saw this video. I was so excited to see you! I remembered the vlog immediately and you were great in the doc!! Great job!
I love your vlogs so happy the twins are home! Sending love ❤️
I've been laughing at Miranda on the couch this whole time!
Colleen is such a great mom and person
merry christmas girl! i was a nicu premie baby and it’s great to see you care so much about your twins because after the 2 weeks i was out the hospital my mom left me with my grand parents and i haven’t seen her in years. your vlogs bring me so much happiness because you’re such a great mother to all your kids. stay strong. you’re definitely stronger than my parents.
this sounds so depressing lmao 😭
Colleen, no matter when you post, you know all of us are here for you. Stay the amazing person you are, Flynn, Wesley, and Maisy have an incredible mama!
In my country, we celebrate the day after Christmas as much as we celebrate the "first" day of Christmas, and I'm alone this year for 2nd Christmas day, because my partner is visiting his family in Hungary and we're in lockdown. But this has made me feel sooooooooo freaking cozy and just like i'm a part of something without having to actually take part in anything? So thank you 🥰 you're my favorite
Tortilla talk question: is the fog gone? Was the person correct when they said the fog and depression just immediately goes when both babies came home? P.s you're a rock star. Love your videos. Xx
Starting at 6:00 I think that will answer this question.
Merry Christmas colleen hope you had a great day
That perspective never leaves. It’s the greatest gift to come from such a hard time! ❤️
Merry Christmas to all🥰🥳
Aww Flynn's reaction to the green race car💞
