Can we all just appreciate how Erik shows all of us that men can be amazing. That finding someone who matches you is possible. The way they are makes me see that I don't have to lower my expectations or want for a good, respectful partnership. Love seeing you guys happy. It makes me cry when you cry and smile when good things come your way. Keep being unapologetically yourself
Im sorry but can we talk about how sweetly they talk to Flynn and how they compliment him all the time and have some quality family time. I know they always do this but it just makes me tear up. Their family is such a safe space for me :)
Colleen: “you made that cake?” Flynn “mhm, me, you, and dada too” He’s such a sweetheart, he always includes everybody & makes sure everybody gets credit❤️❤️
you can tell colleen is such a great mom and how much time she dedicates towards all her babies. theyre so lucky to have a great momma. ive been following her journey since her last relationship and she has grown so much and changed so much for the better. im so proud of colleen and her adorable family. shes helped me so much and her videos give me so much joy everyday :)
the twins holding hands is the cutest thing ever. Also Flynn making the cupcakes was so sweet and his LETS EAT IT...I have never laughed so hard. love you colleen, tell the babies i believe in them.
Here’s the magical part: most mamas don’t get to kiss their babies at 32 weeks ish, so think of her first kiss as super duper early too ❤️, which means she actually will get more kisses than babies born at their due dates! ☺️🤓
I know it would be better for the babies if Colleen was still pregnant, but the energy and joy pouring out of her is incredible to see. I am so happy for her that she isn’t pregnant anymore! She’s a different person 💜
When you were holding the twins and they held each other’s hands, while both of them had their heads leaned towards each other while resting on your chest, my heart completely melted. That is the most precious thing I have seen in a long time. 💗 This video made my Monday hundred times better, so thank you for sharing these precious moments with us! 💕🙏🏼😘
In the NICU - when twin babies are stable enough....we will often put them in the same isolette or 'warmer'. The babies gravitate to one another, and naturally want to be touching. We can have babies really stressed independently; but, when put together....more often than not....they are immediately soothed when they can touch and smell their sibling. It's SO awesome to see! 💜
Yessss!!! This comment said how I felt too. I bet you must love holding the twins 👯♀️ at the same time Colleen, that’s how you have been carrying them for quite some time. ❤️🎶💜🥰 awwwww 🎶 🥺🥰
NICU RELATED COMMENT: I wrote this in your main channel but my nephew was 23weeks (1lb5oz). When he finally got to leave the nicu we got him a graduation robe and cap from build a bear. 10/10 recommend doing this. They fit perfectly.
I can’t imagine the pain mothers of extremely early preemies go through, they often stay in the NICU for several months and well past their due date. Their parents are unbelievably strong and amazing.
"you got it dude!" "You got it babbaayy" "you got it daddy!" Flynn is so stinkin' cuuuute 🥺 Also reminds me of full house when Michelle used to be little and say "you got it dude!" 🥺
Seeing the genuine smiles from you is so heartwarming after so many months of tears. I know things are still hard for you and your family but those moments of sheer joy are so lovely to see.
This is such a wholesome channel. I especially loved the part where Erik and Colleen and Flynn were cooking, and when Flynn spilled a little bit of water, his parents made it clear how making mistakes is okay. You can see from the little things that they’re awesome parents
It would be super cute if you got rings made of the size the twins fingers. That way you can remember how small they were forever. And you can wear them on a necklace ❤️ love you and your family
Flynn is getting funnier every single day. I’m laughing so hard watching him sing happy birthday. 😂 Such an amazing personality! He’s gonna be the best big bro when he finally meets his new little besties ❤️
tbh, i don't really have time to keep up with daily vlogs but I started watching daily again because I wanted to be sure the twins were okay and stuff. I did the same thing when Flynn was born☺️ Normally I only watch vlogs later or when they're in my recommended. Love Colleen loads but I'm a busy lady 😅
How excited Erik is about literally every single minor milestone right along with Colleen has my heart (and tears) going (I'm gonna need one of those shirts, girl...for watching your vlogs alone. I cry with you nearly every time!)
The way you guys parents is something to be so proud of. You two are the most encouraging and loving people ever and I can totally tell how much it is positively impacting Flynn. I can’t wait to see your twins grow up in the same wonderful environment 🤍 you guys rock!❤️
Being a nicu-parent must be hard enough on its own, and seeing how she still manages to have so much energy for Flynn and being there for him is incredible. Even if this was just a one time thing, its still absolutely amazing! She was born to be a mom!
Hey fun fact: My sister was born at 30 weeks and weighed 3 pounds and the only clothes my mom found that fit her were the cabbage patch kids dolls outfits! Everyone in the NICU was so impressed she found something that fit her lol Look into them they’re so cute and tiny❤️
My cousin was like that she was smaller than a man's average sized hand so we found doll clothes for her and its fits pretty goot and it has the velcro so you can adjust the size

He’s supposed to support his wife the same way she supports him and is supposed to be there for is son just as much as she is.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Colleen was pregnant with twins and vlogged every single day,brought us through the good and bad days made us laugh and cry with her and now she just got out of the hospital from having an emergency C-section and she is still vlogging every day. She is one of the strongest mama's out there. I'm just so greatful that the babies are safe at the NICU and though it might be hard Colleen, you are going to get to take them home soon.❤️
Tiny Tortilla Talk Question: Does Flynn get upset when you and Erik go to visit the twins without him, if so how do you explain why he can´t come. P.S. I love how you are trying to give as much attention to Flynn as possible, and I am so glad that the twins will grow up in such a loving home where they will both get so much love and attention. You are doing so amazing! and you inspire me to be like you when I am a mom! Also side note, I think the no sleep set is periwinkle.
I’m not sure about the hospital she went to or anything, but at the hospital I work at kids under 16 aren’t allowed to come in unless they’re parents, I’m pretty sure it’s a Covid related thing!
@@sydneyuchiha8062 Where I live it’s also a flu regulation! During flu season, children under 16 can’t come in to the hospital to visit patients because they are more likely to carry the flu virus or a cold and could potentially endanger someone on the floor (even if they’re vaccinated)
Tortilla Talk Question: how does Flynn feel about the twins being born/how did you explain it to him? Have you thought about bringing him to the nicu? Has he seen pictures? I love your family so much and watching you go through this has been so real and even hard to see at times. We know you’ll get through this and your babies will get so big and strong! We’re all here to support you 🤍🤍 love to see you smiling :)
Im glad that Flynn is still so little, I feel like an older sibling would also be struggling with not being able to be with their new baby siblings, and I cannot wait for them three to meet. its gonna be magical.
I love how they make Flynn feel part of everything like he doesn’t see like he feels left out and like if the babies are getting all the attention yk? Love youuuuu
Well yeah he needs attention, but it's easy for parents with newborns to over focus on the new borns. Colleen and Eric are doing a great job at making Flynn still feel special and helping him connect to his new siblings
Oh gosh, so small. But, my son was born less than two weeks early at a healthy weight and was only about 2 pounds heavier than them. They can definitely get there!
@@Topaz_Estrella yeah my daughter was born at 38 weeks and 5 days and weighed only 10 oz more than her kids.. spent no NICU time. They can definitely go home sooner.
tortilla talk question: does flynn still know a little sign language? and also do you plan on teaching the twins sign? i hope the twins get well very quick and you too! (and happy one week to the babies :) ) have an amazing day
@UCDLHkmkYcCftdOI8nnJ469Q I don't know but I don't think you have to be deaf to learn sign language. It's a wonderful skill to have nevertheless. Even if you don't know anyone who is deaf :)
“I’m not sure if it can be used as a helmet but I’m using at a helmet” - Colleen Ballinger. Such an iconic queen 👑! Love you Colleen sending positive vibes. 💋
I was born 6 weeks premature and I had a conversation with my mom today about how it was being a NICU mama. She told me how hard it was going home without me, and how she went back to work and would visit me on her lunches. She wanted to send her love and say that you will get through it and it will be so amazing when you finally get to bring two healthy babies home. You and Eric are so strong. 🧡🧡
Erik is just SO incredibly good with Flynn and it makes my heart melt. I feel like it's so rare to see depictions of dads being genuine and loving and silly with their kids and we need more of it in the world!
hes been calling himself that way since he can talk, she explained it in a vlog that they always called him that because they didint have a name for him when he was born so they always called him baby, and kept it up even after having a name for him. So Flynn has always called himself baby flynn
@@ineedausername6194 I mean yeah…obviously…but the question was whether Flynn can separate the concept of having been called/calling himself Baby Flynn for so long from his understanding that he’s not the baby of the family anymore
It makes me so happy to see Colleen chasing Flynn around the house because I know that her pain and lack of mobility was a huge stressor for her during her pregnancy as she felt she was missing out on bonding time with him. While it is heartbreaking not to have the twins at home, in a way I think it’s lovely that Flynn gets some more 1:1 time at home before they leave the NICU and the focus shifts to them.
tortilla talk: does flynn fully understand that the babies are now out of your tummy? also i’m assuming he’s seen pictures of them, what does he think of them so far?? hope you guys are doing well ❤️
I’m a premie twin! My twin brother and I were born three months early into the NICU and just like your baby girl I couldn’t breathe either. My twin and I were 2 lbs and 9 oz and I believe did about 11 weeks in the NICU. Fun fact I am now dating one of the NICU nurses that helped to take care of us son! You’re babies are going to have a great life as a twin and I want you to know that you sharing be this story has helped me to understand what my parents really went through and it has been so surreal and I appreciate you so much. You’re kiddos have the best gift in this world being a twin!!
Colleen take a second to appreciate how strong you are that you’ve made it a week. Stay strong. I saw on GMA a woman had to wait 4 weeks to hold her son it was the earliest preemie 21 weeks.
Snuggling a delicate precious baby…the next clip, “ok, time to make a cake!” That is the literal perfect representation of baby in the NICU, toddler at home. You have to be sooo many things. Keep going Colleen, you’re doing great!
Colleen, I'm very grateful that you are blogging your experience with the twins in the NICU. As a NICU twin myself, I have heard stories about my brother and my birth from my parents and although they have never told me how hard it was for them, your vlogs are a wonderful insight in to what it must have been like for them. It makes my appreciate them more and just the fact that I am alive and healthy more. AND, since my cousin is a NICU nurse, it has made me appreciate her work even more as well. So thank you!
tortilla talk: how does flynn feel about you leaving home to see the twins, does he know you're leaving to see the babies? does he ever want to come or feel negatively about you being gone? love you and happy one week to the twins!
Colleen, as a mama myself I just want to say I SEE you. I see you fighting hard to make Flynn’s life feel normal and happy while your heart is breaking. I see you smiling for him when you probably want to lay down and cry. You are so very strong and you have a beautiful family. One day soon you will all be together ♥️
You and Erik are such amazing parents I am beyond happy to see how you all are with Flynn, always willing to play with him and teach him new things. It is so sweet and heartwarming, you’re such a beautiful and strong mom and I’m so proud of you and I couldn’t stop smiling when seeing the babies and how much emotion/love you have for them when being with them. You all make me so excited to be a mother one day
My heart has been stolen…first Flynn and the cake (also, Flynn, doing anything) then the BABIES holding hands…Colleen, you may have had rough pregnancies, but you seriously make some AMAZING KIDDOS♥️🥰♥️
Haven’t experienced this myself but I have been told as soon as they come home it’s so beautiful and wonderful and perfect that you almost forget the pain you felt being away from them. This helped me with a lot of relationships even though I haven’t had a chance to have kids yet.
When you asked if the baby boy wanted to hold your hand, it sounded like he said "Yeah" after he held your finger. Such a heartwarming moment between son and mom!
“Say happy birthday babies!!”
Flynn: “Let’s eat it!” He’s hilarious lol
@Alessia no
ikr😭😭 he’s like “we’ll do that later let’s eat it!”
i agree with him eating is good lol
@Alessia ew.. I reported your comment
He definitely has his priorities straight!
erik handing flynn an egg, flynn saying “thaaaaanks,” then immediately handing it off to colleen for her to deal with like “here ya go” IS SO CUTE

@@sydneyuchiha8062 Where I live it’s also a flu regulation! During flu season, children under 16 can’t come in to the hospital to visit patients because they are more likely to carry the flu virus or a cold and could potentially endanger someone on the floor (even if they’re vaccinated)
So well said KitKats0606.... I love watching Colleen and Erik parent. Such good examples for all of us to see. They truly are an inspiration.
Remember when Flynn didn’t like motorized toys, now he’s picked out a vacuum toy. We love the character development 😂❤️
i’m in awe of colleen and erik’s parenting. y’all are doing great, truly 🤍
Tortilla Talk Question: how does Flynn feel about the twins being born/how did you explain it to him? Have you thought about bringing him to the nicu? Has he seen pictures?
I love your family so much and watching you go through this has been so real and even hard to see at times. We know you’ll get through this and your babies will get so big and strong! We’re all here to support you 🤍🤍 love to see you smiling :)
yes! I’ve been wondering about how Flynn’s been doing 🤍
I feel like they won’t properly answer this question until the babies are home, just cause they can’t know for sure until then
Im glad that Flynn is still so little, I feel like an older sibling would also be struggling with not being able to be with their new baby siblings, and I cannot wait for them three to meet. its gonna be magical.
I love how they make Flynn feel part of everything like he doesn’t see like he feels left out and like if the babies are getting all the attention yk? Love youuuuu
Well yea he’s two he needs attention too
@A1loveislife 👎
Well yeah he needs attention, but it's easy for parents with newborns to over focus on the new borns. Colleen and Eric are doing a great job at making Flynn still feel special and helping him connect to his new siblings
erik hyping up the shirt like he’d never seen it before was the highlight
Ok, this gave me perspective on how little they are: Marbles, Jenna Marbles's chihuahua, is 1 pound heavier than Colleen's babies 😧
Oh gosh, so small. But, my son was born less than two weeks early at a healthy weight and was only about 2 pounds heavier than them. They can definitely get there!
@@Topaz_Estrella yeah my daughter was born at 38 weeks and 5 days and weighed only 10 oz more than her kids.. spent no NICU time. They can definitely go home sooner.
Ya my first baby was full term and weighed only 6 lbs 🤷🏻♀️
😂 true!
@@Topaz_Estrella omg. My daughter was two weeks early and still 8 lbs. and my son was one week early and almost nine. Lol
tortilla talk question: does flynn still know a little sign language? and also do you plan on teaching the twins sign? i hope the twins get well very quick and you too! (and happy one week to the babies :) ) have an amazing day
@UCDLHkmkYcCftdOI8nnJ469Q lol no it’s when children are too little to use words so they use hand signing instead
@UCDLHkmkYcCftdOI8nnJ469Q I don't know but I don't think you have to be deaf to learn sign language. It's a wonderful skill to have nevertheless. Even if you don't know anyone who is deaf :)
My nephew knew baby signs but I think he's lost them as he gained the words to replace them
@@amelialaird2281 Her brother that doesnt like to be filmed is deaf so she learnt to communicate with him
I love ASL!!! I’m learning it as well!!! Love the language! It’s so beautiful!!!

Such an iconic queen 👑! Love you Colleen sending positive vibes. 💋
If you don't keep the helmet, Colleen, give it to your nephew. I'm sure he can make some kind of costume with it.
Watching them all cook together made me feel warm inside
You guys are such good parents, I can't wait to be a mother
The concentration in Flynn’s face when he was trying to not spill the water was sooooo cute!
Here is an edit I made of Colleens twin pregnancy journey!! th-cam.com/video/cp7pEW95HWo/w-d-xo.html
I was born 6 weeks premature and I had a conversation with my mom today about how it was being a NICU mama. She told me how hard it was going home without me, and how she went back to work and would visit me on her lunches. She wanted to send her love and say that you will get through it and it will be so amazing when you finally get to bring two healthy babies home. You and Eric are so strong. 🧡🧡
Colleen you're a super hero! I can't believe you're vlogging for us. Love you lots. Praying for you and your babies ♥️♥️♥️
Erik is just SO incredibly good with Flynn and it makes my heart melt. I feel like it's so rare to see depictions of dads being genuine and loving and silly with their kids and we need more of it in the world!
Does Flynn still call himself “Baby Flynn” now that the “Babies” are here? 🥰
hes been calling himself that way since he can talk, she explained it in a vlog that they always called him that because they didint have a name for him when he was born so they always called him baby, and kept it up even after having a name for him. So Flynn has always called himself baby flynn
@@medialunasx but they're asking of Flynn will stop calling himself baby Flynn now that the new babies are here and he realizes what baby means.
@@leora_in_london well yeah eventually bc he can’t be calling himself baby Flynn at like 11
@@ineedausername6194 I mean yeah…obviously…but the question was whether Flynn can separate the concept of having been called/calling himself Baby Flynn for so long from his understanding that he’s not the baby of the family anymore
@@hanr7488 children aren’t idiots he’ll probably do it naturally and just stop saying it, at least from my experience that’s what happens
It makes me so happy to see Colleen chasing Flynn around the house because I know that her pain and lack of mobility was a huge stressor for her during her pregnancy as she felt she was missing out on bonding time with him. While it is heartbreaking not to have the twins at home, in a way I think it’s lovely that Flynn gets some more 1:1 time at home before they leave the NICU and the focus shifts to them.
tortilla talk: does flynn fully understand that the babies are now out of your tummy? also i’m assuming he’s seen pictures of them, what does he think of them so far?? hope you guys are doing well ❤️
@Alessia what the fuck!
I was gonna ask this as well! ☺️
Good quechin :D
@Alessia Guy's Please Report, This is a bot
Yeah I was gonna ask if he’d seen pictures
This may sound weird but she looks so happy but sad, maybe because she's tired but i love the vibe she creates 🥰
I’m a premie twin! My twin brother and I were born three months early into the NICU and just like your baby girl I couldn’t breathe either. My twin and I were 2 lbs and 9 oz and I believe did about 11 weeks in the NICU. Fun fact I am now dating one of the NICU nurses that helped to take care of us son! You’re babies are going to have a great life as a twin and I want you to know that you sharing be this story has helped me to understand what my parents really went through and it has been so surreal and I appreciate you so much. You’re kiddos have the best gift in this world being a twin!!
Wait, was that a typo?
"Dating the NICU nurse that took care of us" or
"Dating the NICU nurse that took care of your son"
@@SallyH247 I think the son of one of the nurses
@@SallyH247 I think they mean they're dating the son of one of their nicu nurses from when they were a premmie.
@@demi05113 oooh, yeah that makes way more sense 🤦♀️🤣🤦♀️🤣
Love that story!! You are dating the NICU nurse's son now omg 🥰
Colleen take a second to appreciate how strong you are that you’ve made it a week. Stay strong. I saw on GMA a woman had to wait 4 weeks to hold her son it was the earliest preemie 21 weeks.
I love how Miranda’s still flying on the ceiling😂
Made me take a double take

"this is the best moment of my life" - Erik 😭 15:40 ❤️Colleen being able to play around with Flynn again warms my heart
Snuggling a delicate precious baby…the next clip, “ok, time to make a cake!” That is the literal perfect representation of baby in the NICU, toddler at home. You have to be sooo many things. Keep going Colleen, you’re doing great!
Colleen, I'm very grateful that you are blogging your experience with the twins in the NICU. As a NICU twin myself, I have heard stories about my brother and my birth from my parents and although they have never told me how hard it was for them, your vlogs are a wonderful insight in to what it must have been like for them. It makes my appreciate them more and just the fact that I am alive and healthy more. AND, since my cousin is a NICU nurse, it has made me appreciate her work even more as well. So thank you!
“And he got matching!”
“Nerds.”
Making fun of yourselves. Y’all are so cute 😂❤️
Honestly your the ultimate mom, it makes me cry on how much love u give its amazing. Your family is so blessed to have you. Love you all
tortilla talk: how does flynn feel about you leaving home to see the twins, does he know you're leaving to see the babies? does he ever want to come or feel negatively about you being gone? love you and happy one week to the twins!
Colleen’s happiness is so contagious. Her big smile and the glow in her face is making me smile constantly
Btw I also make positive videos 💕
Watching you and Erik raise your children with so much kindness and patience is really healing for me. You’re doing an awesome job mama!
Flynn is such a smart little cutie.. can't wait to see him interact with his siblings. I'm sure he's gonna love them so much.❤️
The love in this household is so amazing. I'm so happy you all have each other and support each other on everything, even just making cupcakes.
"Get us some chocolate chips daddy!" *colleen leans in* "Please!" And Flynn adding in please and how sweet he was I can't 😭💜
love how you wrote it like a script
I’m surprised they both have a full head of hair! It’s literally the cutest thing in the world.
Flynn seems grown up now compared to his newborn siblings. He’s going to make a great big brother!
I can’t get over how cute Flynn is! He’s getting so grown up!
The twins are so gorgeous
Colleen, as a mama myself I just want to say I SEE you. I see you fighting hard to make Flynn’s life feel normal and happy while your heart is breaking. I see you smiling for him when you probably want to lay down and cry. You are so very strong and you have a beautiful family. One day soon you will all be together ♥️
Thank you for the updates. You are so loved and so are your kiddos. I am praying for you and your babies.
You and Erik are such amazing parents I am beyond happy to see how you all are with Flynn, always willing to play with him and teach him new things. It is so sweet and heartwarming, you’re such a beautiful and strong mom and I’m so proud of you and I couldn’t stop smiling when seeing the babies and how much emotion/love you have for them when being with them. You all make me so excited to be a mother one day
It makes me so happy that Colleen loves vlogging so much and it’s giving her an outlet during this emotionally chaotic time 💞
Can we just take a second to admire Flynn and Eric’s relationship together 🥺🥺🥺 it’s just so precious
My heart has been stolen…first Flynn and the cake (also, Flynn, doing anything) then the BABIES holding hands…Colleen, you may have had rough pregnancies, but you seriously make some
AMAZING KIDDOS♥️🥰♥️
You guys are such amazing parents. You have such a beautiful loving family
Haven’t experienced this myself but I have been told as soon as they come home it’s so beautiful and wonderful and perfect that you almost forget the pain you felt being away from them. This helped me with a lot of relationships even though I haven’t had a chance to have kids yet.
they way she’s balancing the hospital and flynn just melts my heart!! you go girl 💖💙🥺❤️
When you asked if the baby boy wanted to hold your hand, it sounded like he said "Yeah" after he held your finger. Such a heartwarming moment between son and mom!
He’s got such a fun personality just like his parents 🥺😭
