It feels like just yesterday you found out you were pregnant. Can’t believe the babies will be here so soon! Love watching you guys especially right now it’s helping me get through these tough times.
I love how Rachelle actually makes things for her daughter to play with/ learn & takes her outside and stuff instead of just shoving a tablet or TV infront of her face like most people do now days with their kids. Emma is so smart!
Melissa I know what you mean I get sad seeing mums with babies/toddlers in strollers and they are on the phones not talking to kids I loved doing craft and activities with my girls when they were little
I can’t wait till the twins are here! Praying Justin can be with your durning the birth durning this pandemic! I feel so bad for the moms in NY. Especially the first time moms... Stay safe everyone!
Hubby will, unless it's a c-section because there isn't enough personal protective equipment for them to be in the room. Emma might not be able to be there, and finding a sitter for her will be tedious because anyone they trust her with could have been exposed themselves, then suddenly the whole family is at risk. Teach Justin how to take photos cause birth photography is gonna be a no-go unless it is hubby doing it.
I am in the same boat I am having my baby in 1 or 2 weeks, it's always changing so by then I am nervous my hubby will not be allowed in the hospital. Alot of hospitals all over the US are not allowing anyone but patient and staff ne excipations in hospital. It's very scary to think about having to go throu birth alone.
Big big suggestion, introduce Emma to the swings and baby things now. That way she will 6 weeksish where she knows that she has to be gentle with them and you're not working on her while recovering and dealing with the twins. I did that with my son to my daughter.
I agree and maybe have an extra bouncer seat or something similar just for her to sit in. My little girl wanted a little seat too. So we got her a bigger bouncer seat (she was 2) and she did great.
I love how chatty Emma is now. It’s so cute and she seems much more confident with it too. My brother and sister in law are expecting their first child in June so she’s definitely freaked out about the hospital situation.
When you want to hang the picture cut out a piece of newspaper or something that is the same size as the frame and mark on the paper where the holes need to be, that way you can tape the paper to the wall and put the screw in then just rip the paper down!
You are such a wonderful mom. I love how you do so many crafts with Emma. I love it. When she grows up she will have things to pass down to her children way way in the future. I can't wait to see what's in store in the future with Emma and the twins. All the crafts you make with all 3 of them. I am in love with your channel. I hope one day I find such a caring, sweet, loving, God fearing man and husband one day. Sending so much love and prayers during this isolation. I know it's hard on all of us.
I’ve been watching for a while now and your journey has been so inspiring. My sister is currently 11 weeks and has suffered 2 miscarriages previously. I hope this time around her pregnancy thrives
I love that rachelle will stop talking and respond to Emma no matter what she’s talking about because when she’s older she will know that no matter what mom and dad are doing if she wants to talk to them about something small or big she will feel like she’s heard and not bothering them
I have tons of stretch marks all over my boobs, hips, and thighs and I've never been pregnant I think some people's skin just has less elasticity than others.. I'm actually amazed you didn't have any stretch marks with Emma thats lucky though cause when I have kids my stomach will be covered in them no doubt.
I have stretchmarks on my hips/thighs/back of my arms/on my boobs from being a teenager (i fluctuated in weight a tonne as a teenager) But when i was pregnant with my daughter i got no stretch marks on my stomach! i was amazed. just the ones on my hips previously got a little more stretched and red. They have completely faded to white now. So you never know girl 🤩
My 17 year old ,who never had weight issues/fluctuations, has a massive amount of stretch marks on her legs(thighs & calves), hips & butt. Literally happened as she simply grew& filled out naturally. I feel so bad for her although she doesn't seem that bothered. It definitely varies by individual. I only got a few while pregnant (3 pregnancies) but they've faded alot. I have more from just being fat lol
Awwww Emma is getting so big. I just love her red hair it’s getting so long. Hang in there Rachelle you almost there. Your twins are gonna be so cute. Stay safe guys and god bless
I think it would be good to set up things for the twins now it will help Emma know what she can or can’t touch. If you do it when the babies come it may be overwhelming to teach Emma that when you are busy with the twins
Rachelle, You look amazing! You two are such great parents. Emma is going to be such a great help! So excited so see the rest of you're pregnancy journey! Be safe!
Hi, where did you get the picture frame from? Idea for the sensory table indoors: at the DollarTree, get clear disposable table covers/cloths and place as a temporary protective liner for the floor/rug. Makes for easy, one swoop cleaning.. rather than brooming/vacuuming the sand for example. Depending on the project, the table cloth can be reusable.😊
You seem like such a sweet gentle mom. Maybe its just on camera, but I wish I could be more like that. Im a really frustrated irritated mom. All. The. Time.
Don't be too hard on yourself mama ♡ I agree Rachelle is an incredible mom, but she also has a good support system with church friends, family nearby (or family willing to come visit), and a husband who is super involved. Those factors do matter! The amount of children you have and their temperament(s) also comes into play. *hugs*
Take a deep breath and try to relax. Remember they are only little once. Take breaks and breathers when you can. We all do the best we can and some days are better than others. I'm sure your a great Mom and your kiddos and blessed to have you! ❤❤❤
I wore a bikini for the first time since my boys this year !! I do have stretch marks but they lightened so well . It was wonderful. Don’t stress about marks ❤️. They lighten and we can show off our stripes proudly !
Wow Rachelle you've already nearing your 35th week your journey is inspiring, it fills me with courage I'm so excited to see the twins. Love your creativity with artwork 😊
I knew Emma would love kinetic sand as much as my daughter! My daughter will play with it non stop for over an hour literally I have cookie cutters and shapes that are for beach sand but it works I love it! Glad Emma loves it and tried it! Love your family so much!!
You’re a beautiful momma! I love how patient and loving you are with Emma all the time. Do you feel like you are ever overwhelmed with it? I have a 2 year old and I tend to get agitated more than anything... NEED SOME MOM TIPS😂
I bought a Dock A Tot for a family member who had a baby a couple of weeks ago and she has loved it! It’s so fun to see Emma talk and play she’s such a joy! 🥰 It’s exciting to think of two more little redheads running around with her. ❤️
When my children was small i allways made my own play doh. I got the recipe from my childrens daycare and it feels just like the one you buy. I wanted to give it to you. 5dl of Flour 2dl of salt 2 tablespoons of potassium alum 5 dl of boiling water 1,5 tablespoon of cooking oil Mix flour, satl and potassium alum. Pour the boiling water with the oil. Work it quickly together to a smoth dough. You can put some food couloring in the dough too. I Hope i translated it correctly since i am from Sweden. I love your family.
Question do you guys know how the delivery will be with this pandemic going on because my aunt had surgery today and no one was allowed to be with her or visit at all we had to drop her off and won’t see her til we pick her up to take her home. Obviously you have alittle while to go so maybe things will be different but I was just curious how it’ll be for you guys!
Most hospitals in the US are only allowing one support person to be with mom for labor, delivery and postpartum. They aren't allowed in triage and have to be screened before they are allowed on the unit. No other visitors and nobody under 18 or 16 (depends on the hospital). Some hospitals the support person can only be there during the birth and then has to leave. Most can stay in the hospital the entire time, but aren't allowed to leave and come back. No support person is allowed in the OR for c-sections. In New York, there are several hospitals that aren't allowing anybody else to be in the hospital with mom at any point. Including the father of the baby. So it largely depends on the hospital and how impacted the region is and there's no way to predict how it will be in several weeks to a month. Many NICUs are also only allowing one parent on the unit at a time and some aren't allowing visits at all. It's all awful, but is being done to do everything possible to keep hospital staff and other patients as safe as possible.
Are there any guidelines in place at your hospital yet? Our hospital in Colorado is no longer allowing visitors including dads to be in labor and delivery 😭
I am so in disbelief that many hospitals are doing that to couples expecting a precious child together🤨~Understand that caution is key, YET why can't they simply screen both Mama & Daddy for any symptoms...It is imperative to have that emotional support during L&D, plus postpartum time🤱!! This policy, in my opinion, will just lead to more C-Sections, which leads to more risk, overall:(
Im from Colorado and I had my baby just 5 days ago, only my husband was allowed in delivery room and recovery room , no visitors allowed during our stay.
@@hollyfisher8811 It's awful that this is happening, but it's being done in areas that are highly impacted by this because the fewer people that are allowed in the hospital, the less chance there is that they have someone who has the virus but is asymptomatic passing it on to hospital staff and other patients. Screening only does so much as the incubation period is 2-14 days (5 days on average) meaning someone can have the virus and not have any symptoms but be passing it on to others during that time. It is a last resort to not allow a father to be there for the birth, but it's being done because there is not an accurate enough way to screen without testing and having more people in the hospital increases risk of the virus being transmitted to vulnerable people.
Hey hun currently 31 weeks, just behind you. I’ve been nauseous my entire pregnancy and I’m taking half a unisome (over the counter) and b6. Talk to your dr about that option. It’s been a life saver for me.
Still so many questions haha will you do a q&a before babies are born to answer some questions? Do you have any names picked out? If you have a girl will you pick a middle name as a rememberance of Brynn? You should get the water beads for her sensory tables, i think she would love those. Will babies have 2 middle names like Emma? Have you decided on a new vehicle yet?
OMGosh, Emma was so freaking CUTE woth her flashcards!! 😍😍 I can't believe you're almost 33 weeks!! That is so crazy to me!! I feel like you just announced you were pregnant!!
Emma is doing great! She's a smart cookie. Mom and dad you're doing a great job helping her communicate and grow. She's so precious! Rachelle you look so cute! I understand you not knowing how to feel about getting stretch marks. I got pregnant at 17 when my body was still growing. Then add pregnancy growth I got a ton of stretch marks. It was weird at first, like it wasn't my body. I ended up having her 6 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia and my kidneys were shutting down. After all I went through to have my one and only child I now embrace my new momma body. She's now 28 and my best friend!
My stretch marks came on all of a sudden two years ago when I started recovering from anorexia. I hated them at first but now I honestly love them, it gives my skin a lovely unique pattern and they are symbols of growing and making room for new things in life xD I'll be praying for a healthy end of term and delivery!
Rachelle your so beautiful with your belly and you have done an amazing job keeping these baby's in and healthy. Aww Emma's Easter basket is so cute. Cant wait to see what you fill it up with. Thank you for helping to supporting small business. My dad and my brother own there own small business and its been a little ruff. There so thankful for people like you who are making sure to help them out. Every little bit helps. I love the flower art projects your doing with Emma. Can you try to do a rabbit one. It would be so cute. Love the picture so beautiful. Thank you for sharing stay safe, healthy. and happy. Love your family hugs to you all
I know you feel uncomfortable and feel a bit crappy about the stretch marks (which is totally normal, i promise you'll get used to them them took me a long time to not care about mine, but now I know there are millions of women out there who would love to have my wrinkled wobbly stretch marked tummy and I LOVE them ❤❤) but you look absolutely amazing!! You are so chilled out and even more beautiful than normal xxxxx
I wasn’t pregnant with twins, but baby girl was causing me to have horrible sciatic nerve pain. I couldn’t walk for two days at one point. I went and saw a chiropractic who specializes in pregnant women and it helped so much. She told me about a women carrying TRIPLETS that she did adjustments for. The lady’s swore up and down that the adjustments helped her pain levels, and helped her be able to carry them for as long as she did. I don’t wana promise this, but it helped a lot when I gave birth. The anesthesiologist even commented on how in line my back was when doing my epidural
OMG Rachelle are you ok?!? Take care of yourself, Mama. Great video, as always! ♥️ Also I adore your view on your stretch marks! I think it's such a wonderful mindset. 😁
You are looking amazing hun. Wear them stretch marks with pride, looking after them beautiful babies xxxxxx. Sending everyone love from the Uk 🇬🇧 during this hard time xxxx
Rachelle I’m also 32 weeks pregnant during this pandemic. Haven’t left the house in 9 days as I’m terrified to get this virus. I’m hoping it calms when my daughter is born.
I get nauseas super easily on boats and cars so I got these "sea bands" that I put on my wrists and they help SO MUCH with nausea. They are also supposed to help with pregnancy nausea. you can find them pretty much anywhere like Walgreens or even king coopers. anywhere that sells other medication.
I have a bad back injury that requires surgery. I was in the process of pre-op when they told me we would be needing to postpone my surgery a year. I was extremely confused until they were like mrs Brown you're pregnant. Anyways all throughout my pregnancy I was on pain medication (percocet) because I literally could barely move my toes. I know how hard it is and sometimes how guilty you feel but honestly girl a pain free mama is a less stressed mama. Had my daughter this past August and she is totally fine. When I told her pediatrician what and why I was taking she was super surprised. She is/has been in the 97 or 98 percentile for literally everything. She is already crawling and talking its crazy. My point is if you're uncomfortable or hurting its gonna be ok if you have to take it. Trust me I cried a lot because I felt super guilty but less stress you know.
I definitely remember getting my first set of stretch marks towards the last few weeks of my pregnancy was a lot and I found that aloe Vera mixed with coconut oil worked best for me and I still am going to try and use it because I just recently gave birth to my girls this past Saturday!!! They were born a few weeks premature and they were born on March 21, 2020 and were born four minutes apart, I was also so very fortunate to have my boyfriend in the hospital with me the whole time, however unfortunately he was the only person that could be there the whole entire time until we got home from the hospital because of what’s going on with this Coronavirus): but it has been so new to both of us and experiencing everything together I couldn’t have asked for a more better partner to go through this with!! ❤️👶🏻👶🏻❤️ Good luck with your twins and hope everything goes well with birth!! ❤️
Arnica and vitamin k cream are both really good for helping heal bruises faster (I recommend doing both; one in morning one at night). If you are concerned about preventing scars from the gash mederma (I cant remember the generic name but it will have the same active ingredients as mederma and is much cheaper) and vitamin E oil are really good for that. All of these items can be found on amazon but since you mentioned wanting to support small businesses I’d look at smaller online health/vitamin stores, small mom and pop drugstores websites stuff like that. Glad you, Justin, Emma, and the twins are doing okay. I’m in Las Vegas and things are very scary. Many stores are struggling to keep shelves stocked, an insane amount of layoffs and furloughs because all the resorts and all nonessential businesses are now ordered closed. A few of my sisters friends and many of the families of the kids I work with (I’m a teacher aide) have lost their jobs and are struggling to pay bills. The Red Cross and hospitals are concerned about a possible blood shortage because much of their supply is from drives at local colleges but since they’ve closed now its appointment only. All the local food banks, shelters, and social services organizations have been dealing with more calls/visits than ever, but all the casinos, resorts, hotels, and restaurants that have closed are donating all their food and beverages. CCSD is also giving free meals to any family with kids ages 2-18 regardless of income reported, what school they go to etc for each child. Hospitals have gotten tons of donated gloves, masks etc. Finally several companies such as a car shade company and liquor distillery are adapting their equipment to mass produce hand sanitizer, masks and other supplies for health care workers and first responders.
Can’t wait to see what the babies are you guys are so great love the vlog if you take Castro’s oil and rub it twice a day on your watt it will fall off in a couple of weeks good luck
I know it’s a beautiful thing, having a life inside you. I am truly happy and blessed. I didn’t think it would affect me when the strech marks appear but it does, a lot. It’s so weird. I think it’s also the hormones hahaha
Rachelle you are such a good mommy. And of course Justin is the best daddy. Love all the projects with little Emma. I cnat wait for rhe babies. Thank you for sharing your lifes with us. From south africa♥️♥️🌹🏵🌼
Looking fab Rachel ,don't worry about the stretch marks they will fade and be below the panty line. I got mine the last three weeks of pregnancy and now I have to look for them, also my mom had twins and I never saw a stretch mark on her and I was one of the twins. Sending hugs from afar, stay safe and healthy, we are with you.
Emma!!!!!! You did so so good on your sun catcher!!! Girlfriend........ I am impressed. Her concentration has TRIPLED! I couldn’t stop smiling watching her. Almost in tears I was so impressed. She absolutely loves doing that.
I would get the Zofran if he's offering, don't have to take it but it's good to have on hand. There's also a topical gel that works in like 5 seconds, not sure about using it while pregnant tho.
Use Bio Oil for those stretch marks and of course coconut oil. The Bio oil can be found in the pharmacy section of your grocery store or of course online!
in nebraska, one hospital is not allowing any visitors at all. luckily my hospital is allowing the dad or 1 person. but no other visitors afterwards and the doctors office is allowing 1 person to appointments and we can record it. im hoping by august this will all be over bc to have a csection alone and the 4 day stay is so scary to me.
Candied Ginger really does help with nausea. You can find it in store somtimes in the asian section. Love all the time and care that you and Justin give to Emma. She is going to be a Great big sister. Nice to see Mister in the vlog. Stay Safe.
I put on 30kg per pregnancy. I didn’t get stretch marks on my belly. till I was pushing. I got 2 with my first (just above pubic bone) and 1 with my second (around my belly button) I did get a few on my thighs. But you carry pregnancy way better than I did, and you are growing 2 babies in there. Stretch marks are a badge of honour!! Emma’s talking is a thousand % better than it was!!! I am getting So excited for you guys😃
That’s really cool how Emma has flash cards of everything and you guys teach her new words to her and your still beautiful and rocking it with stretch marks Rochelle hope you date night was good and hope the twins are doing good as were ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would set up stuff as early as possible, I did this so my son could kind of prep with us for his sister's arrival. Also gave us a chance to teach him what he wasnt allowed to touch or more importantly what he had to be "easy" with so he didnt get sooo excited when baby was home and tip things over. Just a thought 🙂
My husband does security at a Kaiser hospital and he says they're only allowing the father's so I have high hopes you'll both be able to be in the room just NO visitors
Love how crafty & fun you are with Emma. I didn’t get stretch marks with my daughter but with my son, he was almost 9lbs & I was a size 0 so my skin was legit like, ooh baby what are you doin?😂😂
My boys love kinetic sand as well! I usually put a cheap shower curtain under the table when they’re playing with it and then just pick up the clumps of the sand afterwards and take the shower curtain outside to shake it off :)
I love your picture that’s really good in the family so how much more longer to the twins were born I hope you have a season safe and healthy birth❤️❤️❤️
That's exactly where I got them with my twins too. I also was measuring 10 weeks ahead where one would be with a singleton. At 38 weeks I measured at 48 weeks. They have faded quite a bit at almost a year post partum. I was so proud to be pregnant, but I do struggle with the stretch marks.
I call stretch marks warrior marks ...... can’t believe how fast your pregnancy going by 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ exciting...Emma so gorgeous 💕 and growing up so fast
I got stretch marks with my twins and we called them weight tally marks and tiger stripes (like earning your stripes) so we took it as every mark I got was a physical sign that they were growing. I had third trimester nausea too. It was awful. Rest as much as you can. I lost 25 lbs during the first part of my pregnancy because I was vomiting 3-5 times a day from week 6-22. The last few weeks are hard because you get miserable but the longer you can keep them in the better. I know you know that. Lol twins are amazing and I’m so excited to see them! My dermatologist recommended Serica for the stretch marks and it really helps!
I don’t like pushing things on people but it was easier for me to set up stuff with no baby and teach them not to touch or climb in instead of waiting for baby then try and teach no no just a thought
I love seeing these updates with you all. You're such a pleasure to see and watch. With ❤ from the 🇦🇺 (ps try not to touch your face so much, especially that birthing is just around the corner) love you all xx
I got stretch marks at 37 weeks . All under my belly as well. I still have them & cherish them. I didn’t have them with my son but I got them with my daughter.
It feels like just yesterday you found out you were pregnant. Can’t believe the babies will be here so soon! Love watching you guys especially right now it’s helping me get through these tough times.
I love how Rachelle actually makes things for her daughter to play with/ learn & takes her outside and stuff instead of just shoving a tablet or TV infront of her face like most people do now days with their kids. Emma is so smart!
Melissa I know what you mean I get sad seeing mums with babies/toddlers in strollers and they are on the phones not talking to kids I loved doing craft and activities with my girls when they were little
Melissa agreed! It’s so refreshing and it’s so much better for children in both the short and long run
Only reason my kiddos have tablets is because of all the appointments we go to. Like drs. My oldest has 7 different drs he goes to.
Oh and my middle googles animals to learn he wants to be a zoologist when he grows up.
I'm proud of my stretch marks. Not that I've ever been pregnant-- just alot of pasta
Same, girl, same.
I love this comment 😂😂😂
Megan Kelly mood. Proud pasta mom here too
I have them on my ass 😂 and my weight is pretty normal and my ass not really big 😂 .. But I guess I got them during puberty. But I don't care 😁
I’m thinking I’m gonna get them when I have kids anyways so what’s wrong with them now lol
I can’t wait till the twins are here! Praying Justin can be with your durning the birth durning this pandemic! I feel so bad for the moms in NY. Especially the first time moms... Stay safe everyone!
Hubby will, unless it's a c-section because there isn't enough personal protective equipment for them to be in the room.
Emma might not be able to be there, and finding a sitter for her will be tedious because anyone they trust her with could have been exposed themselves, then suddenly the whole family is at risk.
Teach Justin how to take photos cause birth photography is gonna be a no-go unless it is hubby doing it.
I am in the same boat I am having my baby in 1 or 2 weeks, it's always changing so by then I am nervous my hubby will not be allowed in the hospital. Alot of hospitals all over the US are not allowing anyone but patient and staff ne excipations in hospital. It's very scary to think about having to go throu birth alone.
Angie Hutchison my neighbor is an Ob here in Houston & no one is allowed in the delivery room with the mom, no exceptions. It’s so sad.
There was a petition for it and it worked! now they’re allowing 1 person
Big big suggestion, introduce Emma to the swings and baby things now. That way she will 6 weeksish where she knows that she has to be gentle with them and you're not working on her while recovering and dealing with the twins. I did that with my son to my daughter.
Kymberly Abeyta yes! And then also she won’t be like “new toy, I have to explore!”
I agree and maybe have an extra bouncer seat or something similar just for her to sit in. My little girl wanted a little seat too. So we got her a bigger bouncer seat (she was 2) and she did great.
Agreed. I'm doing this with my son too. Hopefully by the time baby is here, he will be bored with the swing.
Fisher Price has a baby 👉🏻 toddler seat & I have a 18 month old who uses it daily.
I love how chatty Emma is now. It’s so cute and she seems much more confident with it too.
My brother and sister in law are expecting their first child in June so she’s definitely freaked out about the hospital situation.
The way you ran when Emma was getting sticky with the paper lol
I was worried she was gonna stick it in her hair 🤣
When you want to hang the picture cut out a piece of newspaper or something that is the same size as the frame and mark on the paper where the holes need to be, that way you can tape the paper to the wall and put the screw in then just rip the paper down!
You are such a wonderful mom. I love how you do so many crafts with Emma. I love it. When she grows up she will have things to pass down to her children way way in the future. I can't wait to see what's in store in the future with Emma and the twins. All the crafts you make with all 3 of them. I am in love with your channel.

Pregnant Rachelle running at 5:30 is hilarious 😂😂 love you guys!
I’ve been watching for a while now and your journey has been so inspiring. My sister is currently 11 weeks and has suffered 2 miscarriages previously. I hope this time around her pregnancy thrives
Prayers for a sticky baby for your sister! ❤
I love that rachelle will stop talking and respond to Emma no matter what she’s talking about because when she’s older she will know that no matter what mom and dad are doing if she wants to talk to them about something small or big she will feel like she’s heard and not bothering them
Prayers for my sister guys, she’s 53 we live in North Louisiana and she was diagnosed this am with Covid. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
I don't pray but good luck to your sister. I hope she won't be too ill and will get through it ok.
🙏🙏🙏
Praying❤
Prayers!
I have tons of stretch marks all over my boobs, hips, and thighs and I've never been pregnant I think some people's skin just has less elasticity than others..

They have completely faded to white now. So you never know girl 🤩
@@legit1318 gives me a little hope but i saw what happened to my sisters stomach so the tiny bit of hope I have is still being questioned. Lol
My 17 year old ,who never had weight issues/fluctuations, has a massive amount of stretch marks on her legs(thighs & calves), hips & butt. Literally happened as she simply grew& filled out naturally.

Rachelle, You look amazing! You two are such great parents. Emma is going to be such a great help! So excited so see the rest of you're pregnancy journey! Be safe!
Hi, where did you get the picture frame from? Idea for the sensory table indoors: at the DollarTree, get clear disposable table covers/cloths and place as a temporary protective liner for the floor/rug. Makes for easy, one swoop cleaning.. rather than brooming/vacuuming the sand for example. Depending on the project, the table cloth can be reusable.😊
I feel bad for the situation your in with COVID 19, praying for you guys!!
You seem like such a sweet gentle mom. Maybe its just on camera, but I wish I could be more like that. Im a really frustrated irritated mom. All. The. Time.
Don't be too hard on yourself mama ♡ I agree Rachelle is an incredible mom, but she also has a good support system with church friends, family nearby (or family willing to come visit), and a husband who is super involved. Those factors do matter! The amount of children you have and their temperament(s) also comes into play.

Take a deep breath and try to relax. Remember they are only little once. Take breaks and breathers when you can. We all do the best we can and some days are better than others. I'm sure your a great Mom and your kiddos and blessed to have you! ❤❤❤
We only see 14 mins of rachelles day. We don’t see night time fusses, stubbornness, fighting sleep. I’m sure she struggles the same way we all do
I'm an irritated mum too haha but hey our kids won't remember that ! They will only remember the important things!
Every time i watch it’s like Emma’s aged 2 years! She’s getting so good with her words!
I wore a bikini for the first time since my boys this year !! I do have stretch marks but they lightened so well . It was wonderful. Don’t stress about marks ❤️. They lighten and we can show off our stripes proudly !
Wow Rachelle you've already nearing your 35th week your journey is inspiring, it fills me with courage I'm so excited to see the twins. Love your creativity with artwork 😊
Has Emma got a baby doll?She could wrap it with a little blanket & copy Mamma💖
I knew Emma would love kinetic sand as much as my daughter! My daughter will play with it non stop for over an hour literally I have cookie cutters and shapes that are for beach sand but it works I love it! Glad Emma loves it and tried it! Love your family so much!!

When my children was small i allways made my own play doh. I got the recipe from my childrens daycare and it feels just like the one you buy. I wanted to give it to you.
5dl of Flour
2dl of salt
2 tablespoons of potassium alum
5 dl of boiling water
1,5 tablespoon of cooking oil
Mix flour, satl and potassium alum.
Pour the boiling water with the oil.
Work it quickly together to a smoth dough.
You can put some food couloring in the dough
too.
I Hope i translated it correctly since i am from Sweden. I love your family.
Question do you guys know how the delivery will be with this pandemic going on because my aunt had surgery today and no one was allowed to be with her or visit at all we had to drop her off and won’t see her til we pick her up to take her home. Obviously you have alittle while to go so maybe things will be different but I was just curious how it’ll be for you guys!
I think they mentioned that if I understood correctly. It seems everything is going normally and he will be able to be with her. At least for now
Most hospitals in the US are only allowing one support person to be with mom for labor, delivery and postpartum. They aren't allowed in triage and have to be screened before they are allowed on the unit. No other visitors and nobody under 18 or 16 (depends on the hospital). Some hospitals the support person can only be there during the birth and then has to leave. Most can stay in the hospital the entire time, but aren't allowed to leave and come back. No support person is allowed in the OR for c-sections. In New York, there are several hospitals that aren't allowing anybody else to be in the hospital with mom at any point. Including the father of the baby. So it largely depends on the hospital and how impacted the region is and there's no way to predict how it will be in several weeks to a month. Many NICUs are also only allowing one parent on the unit at a time and some aren't allowing visits at all. It's all awful, but is being done to do everything possible to keep hospital staff and other patients as safe as possible.
We have the same spelling of our name! I never see other Elissa’s.
Are there any guidelines in place at your hospital yet? Our hospital in Colorado is no longer allowing visitors including dads to be in labor and delivery 😭
I am so in disbelief that many hospitals are doing that to
couples expecting a precious
child together🤨~Understand
that caution is key, YET why
can't they simply screen both
Mama & Daddy for any symptoms...It is imperative to have that emotional support
during L&D, plus postpartum time🤱!! This policy, in my opinion, will just lead to more C-Sections, which leads to more risk, overall:(
Right now they’re saying 2 people, but it could change.
I really hope Justin is at least able to be there with you 🥰
Im from Colorado and I had my baby just 5 days ago, only my husband was allowed in delivery room and recovery room , no visitors allowed during our stay.
@@hollyfisher8811 It's awful that this is happening, but it's being done in areas that are highly impacted by this because the fewer people that are allowed in the hospital, the less chance there is that they have someone who has the virus but is asymptomatic passing it on to hospital staff and other patients. Screening only does so much as the incubation period is 2-14 days (5 days on average) meaning someone can have the virus and not have any symptoms but be passing it on to others during that time. It is a last resort to not allow a father to be there for the birth, but it's being done because there is not an accurate enough way to screen without testing and having more people in the hospital increases risk of the virus being transmitted to vulnerable people.
Hey hun currently 31 weeks, just behind you. I’ve been nauseous my entire pregnancy and I’m taking half a unisome (over the counter) and b6. Talk to your dr about that option. It’s been a life saver for me.
You look AMAZING for carrying twins!!! Im super excited for you guys!
Still so many questions haha will you do a q&a before babies are born to answer some questions? Do you have any names picked out? If you have a girl will you pick a middle name as a rememberance of Brynn? You should get the water beads for her sensory tables, i think she would love those. Will babies have 2 middle names like Emma? Have you decided on a new vehicle yet?
OMGosh, Emma was so freaking CUTE woth her flashcards!! 😍😍
I can't believe you're almost 33 weeks!! That is so crazy to me!! I feel like you just announced you were pregnant!!
Emma is doing great! She's a smart cookie. Mom and dad you're doing a great job helping her communicate and grow. She's so precious!
Rachelle you look so cute! I understand you not knowing how to feel about getting stretch marks.
I got pregnant at 17 when my body was still growing. Then add pregnancy growth I got a ton of stretch marks. It was weird at first, like it wasn't my body. I ended up having her 6 weeks early due to pre-eclampsia and my kidneys were shutting down. After all I went through to have my one and only child I now embrace my new momma body. She's now 28 and my best friend!
My stretch marks came on all of a sudden two years ago when I started recovering from anorexia. I hated them at first but now I honestly love them, it gives my skin a lovely unique pattern and they are symbols of growing and making room for new things in life xD
I'll be praying for a healthy end of term and delivery!
Rachelle your so beautiful with your belly and you have done an amazing job keeping these baby's in and healthy. Aww Emma's Easter basket is so cute. Cant wait to see what you fill it up with. Thank you for helping to supporting small business. My dad and my brother own there own small business and its been a little ruff. There so thankful for people like you who are making sure to help them out. Every little bit helps. I love the flower art projects your doing with Emma. Can you try to do a rabbit one. It would be so cute. Love the picture so beautiful. Thank you for sharing stay safe, healthy. and happy. Love your family hugs to you all
Emma is so precious. I can hardly wait till the babies are here.
I know you feel uncomfortable and feel a bit crappy about the stretch marks (which is totally normal, i promise you'll get used to them them took me a long time to not care about mine, but now I know there are millions of women out there who would love to have my wrinkled wobbly stretch marked tummy and I LOVE them ❤❤) but you look absolutely amazing!! You are so chilled out and even more beautiful than normal xxxxx
Love all the project you do with Emma! Such an inspirational momma, fixing to experiment painting with my girl who just turned ONE.
When the twins are born you should do a gender/name /baby reveal where you introduce the twins for the first time too
Ivy Driscoll I think that’s what they are doing anyways.
You look so beautiful. And don’t worry about stretch marks. They are your pregnancy medals. Best of luck to you all. Can’t wait to see those babies.
I wasn’t pregnant with twins, but baby girl was causing me to have horrible sciatic nerve pain. I couldn’t walk for two days at one point. I went and saw a chiropractic who specializes in pregnant women and it helped so much. She told me about a women carrying TRIPLETS that she did adjustments for. The lady’s swore up and down that the adjustments helped her pain levels, and helped her be able to carry them for as long as she did. I don’t wana promise this, but it helped a lot when I gave birth. The anesthesiologist even commented on how in line my back was when doing my epidural
OMG Rachelle are you ok?!? Take care of yourself, Mama. Great video, as always! ♥️ Also I adore your view on your stretch marks! I think it's such a wonderful mindset. 😁
Emma's language skills are great!! What an amazimg little one you have!
Emma is doing so well with talking!! ❤️
You are looking amazing hun. Wear them stretch marks with pride, looking after them beautiful babies xxxxxx. Sending everyone love from the Uk 🇬🇧 during this hard time xxxx
Rachelle I’m also 32 weeks pregnant during this pandemic. Haven’t left the house in 9 days as I’m terrified to get this virus. I’m hoping it calms when my daughter is born.
I get nauseas super easily on boats and cars so I got these "sea bands" that I put on my wrists and they help SO MUCH with nausea. They are also supposed to help with pregnancy nausea. you can find them pretty much anywhere like Walgreens or even king coopers. anywhere that sells other medication.
Just curious... when you say “measuring 10 weeks ahead”, do you mean than the average measurement for singleton or twin pregnancy?
Singleton
I love the Brynn sign on the side board!!
I have a bad back injury that requires surgery. I was in the process of pre-op when they told me we would be needing to postpone my surgery a year. I was extremely confused until they were like mrs Brown you're pregnant. Anyways all throughout my pregnancy I was on pain medication (percocet) because I literally could barely move my toes. I know how hard it is and sometimes how guilty you feel but honestly girl a pain free mama is a less stressed mama. Had my daughter this past August and she is totally fine. When I told her pediatrician what and why I was taking she was super surprised. She is/has been in the 97 or 98 percentile for literally everything. She is already crawling and talking its crazy. My point is if you're uncomfortable or hurting its gonna be ok if you have to take it. Trust me I cried a lot because I felt super guilty but less stress you know.
I definitely remember getting my first set of stretch marks towards the last few weeks of my pregnancy was a lot and I found that aloe Vera mixed with coconut oil worked best for me and I still am going to try and use it because I just recently gave birth to my girls this past Saturday!!! They were born a few weeks premature and they were born on March 21, 2020 and were born four minutes apart, I was also so very fortunate to have my boyfriend in the hospital with me the whole time, however unfortunately he was the only person that could be there the whole entire time until we got home from the hospital because of what’s going on with this Coronavirus): but it has been so new to both of us and experiencing everything together I couldn’t have asked for a more better partner to go through this with!! ❤️👶🏻👶🏻❤️ Good luck with your twins and hope everything goes well with birth!! ❤️
Arnica and vitamin k cream are both really good for helping heal bruises faster (I recommend doing both; one in morning one at night). If you are concerned about preventing scars from the gash mederma (I cant remember the generic name but it will have the same active ingredients as mederma and is much cheaper) and vitamin E oil are really good for that. All of these items can be found on amazon but since you mentioned wanting to support small businesses I’d look at smaller online health/vitamin stores, small mom and pop drugstores websites stuff like that. Glad you, Justin, Emma, and the twins are doing okay. I’m in Las Vegas and things are very scary. Many stores are struggling to keep shelves stocked, an insane amount of layoffs and furloughs because all the resorts and all nonessential businesses are now ordered closed. A few of my sisters friends and many of the families of the kids I work with (I’m a teacher aide) have lost their jobs and are struggling to pay bills. The Red Cross and hospitals are concerned about a possible blood shortage because much of their supply is from drives at local colleges but since they’ve closed now its appointment only. All the local food banks, shelters, and social services organizations have been dealing with more calls/visits than ever, but all the casinos, resorts, hotels, and restaurants that have closed are donating all their food and beverages. CCSD is also giving free meals to any family with kids ages 2-18 regardless of income reported, what school they go to etc for each child. Hospitals have gotten tons of donated gloves, masks etc. Finally several companies such as a car shade company and liquor distillery are adapting their equipment to mass produce hand sanitizer, masks and other supplies for health care workers and first responders.
Can’t wait to see what the babies are you guys are so great love the vlog if you take Castro’s oil and rub it twice a day on your watt it will fall off in a couple of weeks good luck
I know it’s a beautiful thing, having a life inside you. I am truly happy and blessed. I didn’t think it would affect me when the strech marks appear but it does, a lot. It’s so weird. I think it’s also the hormones hahaha
Emma is so good with arts and crafts :) I wish my cousin was this exited with crafts lol
Emma did a great job on those flashcards!
Rachelle you are such a good mommy. And of course Justin is the best daddy. Love all the projects with little Emma. I cnat wait for rhe babies. Thank you for sharing your lifes with us. From south africa♥️♥️🌹🏵🌼
Looking fab Rachel ,don't worry about the stretch marks they will fade and be below the panty line. I got mine the last three weeks of pregnancy and now I have to look for them, also my mom had twins and I never saw a stretch mark on her and I was one of the twins. Sending hugs from afar, stay safe and healthy, we are with you.
Emma!!!!!! You did so so good on your sun catcher!!! Girlfriend........ I am impressed. Her concentration has TRIPLED! I couldn’t stop smiling watching her. Almost in tears I was so impressed. She absolutely loves doing that.
I LIVE A VERY PINK LIFE ( what she said!!!!)
I would get the Zofran if he's offering, don't have to take it but it's good to have on hand. There's also a topical gel that works in like 5 seconds, not sure about using it while pregnant tho.
Use Bio Oil for those stretch marks and of course coconut oil. The Bio oil can be found in the pharmacy section of your grocery store or of course online!
Most hospitals are not letting dads be in the delivery room things are getting out of hand 😳
What hospitals cause the ones where I live in Ohio are they said only the dad and one other person
Wisconsin ones that I know of are allowing dads. But no one else
Ours is still as of now thankfully!
in nebraska, one hospital is not allowing any visitors at all. luckily my hospital is allowing the dad or 1 person. but no other visitors afterwards and the doctors office is allowing 1 person to appointments and we can record it. im hoping by august this will all be over bc to have a csection alone and the 4 day stay is so scary to me.
Ours still lets 1 support person i had a midwife appointment yesterday and then only 1 visitor at a time, thats in Australia
Candied Ginger really does help with nausea. You can find it in store somtimes in the asian section.
Love all the time and care that you and Justin give to Emma. She is going to be a Great big sister.
Nice to see Mister in the vlog.
Stay Safe.
I put on 30kg per pregnancy. I didn’t get stretch marks on my belly. till I was pushing. I got 2 with my first (just above pubic bone) and 1 with my second (around my belly button) I did get a few on my thighs. But you carry pregnancy way better than I did, and you are growing 2 babies in there. Stretch marks are a badge of honour!! Emma’s talking is a thousand % better than it was!!! I am getting So excited for you guys😃
That’s really cool how Emma has flash cards of everything and you guys teach her new words to her and your still beautiful and rocking it with stretch marks Rochelle hope you date night was good and hope the twins are doing good as were ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would set up stuff as early as possible, I did this so my son could kind of prep with us for his sister's arrival. Also gave us a chance to teach him what he wasnt allowed to touch or more importantly what he had to be "easy" with so he didnt get sooo excited when baby was home and tip things over. Just a thought 🙂
You are such a good mom. Love Emma’s little curl.
My husband does security at a Kaiser hospital and he says they're only allowing the father's so I have high hopes you'll both be able to be in the room just NO visitors
Guys thank for putting amazing content out there for us, you really made my day ☺️ I needed it.
You running back to Emma at 5:31 😂😂😂 I rewatched that a few times😂😂😂
Have you got any Bio oil to put on the stretch marks. Or Palmers coconut butter lotion
Love how crafty & fun you are with Emma. I didn’t get stretch marks with my daughter but with my son, he was almost 9lbs & I was a size 0 so my skin was legit like, ooh baby what are you doin?😂😂
My boys love kinetic sand as well! I usually put a cheap shower curtain under the table when they’re playing with it and then just pick up the clumps of the sand afterwards and take the shower curtain outside to shake it off :)
U still look amazing!!!! And Emma is getting so big and i hope the nausea goes away soon and hopefully u feel better soon
Love you guys. Emma is talking so much now. Love her curls. You also stay safe, sane, and self contained. 😊❤
Just enjoy all this time together. Emma is so clever. Xx
I loved your shirt in the first shot Rachelle. So cute!
I love your picture that’s really good in the family so how much more longer to the twins were born I hope you have a season safe and healthy birth❤️❤️❤️
why dont you use a drop cloth under the table.so the floor dont get the water or sand
That's exactly where I got them with my twins too. I also was measuring 10 weeks ahead where one would be with a singleton. At 38 weeks I measured at 48 weeks. They have faded quite a bit at almost a year post partum. I was so proud to be pregnant, but I do struggle with the stretch marks.
Girl wrap those plates!
Where did you get those cards those are great!!!
This pregnancy FLEEEWWWW by. It’s giving me baby fever 😂
I call stretch marks warrior marks ...... can’t believe how fast your pregnancy going by 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ exciting...Emma so gorgeous 💕 and growing up so fast
I got stretch marks with my twins and we called them weight tally marks and tiger stripes (like earning your stripes) so we took it as every mark I got was a physical sign that they were growing. I had third trimester nausea too. It was awful. Rest as much as you can. I lost 25 lbs during the first part of my pregnancy because I was vomiting 3-5 times a day from week 6-22. The last few weeks are hard because you get miserable but the longer you can keep them in the better. I know you know that. Lol twins are amazing and I’m so excited to see them! My dermatologist recommended Serica for the stretch marks and it really helps!
I don’t like pushing things on people but it was easier for me to set up stuff with no baby and teach them not to touch or climb in instead of waiting for baby then try and teach no no just a thought
Where did you get the flash cards for Emma?
In Kansas where I work in the hospital, the exceptions are birthing units, critical care units.
I love seeing these updates with you all. You're such a pleasure to see and watch. With ❤ from the 🇦🇺 (ps try not to touch your face so much, especially that birthing is just around the corner) love you all xx
You guys are legit my favourite youtubers. Thinking of you often!!🥰🥰
I got stretch marks at 37 weeks . All under my belly as well. I still have them & cherish them. I didn’t have them with my son but I got them with my daughter.
GOSH Emma's hair has really thickened up and love its blond streaks. Stay safe. From New Zealand in self-isolation LOCKDOWN
Stay safe everyone. Remember coronavirus can last 24 hours on cardboard.
Can you link the flash cards?
Benadryl helps with nausea! It helped me a lot at the end!
Where is your cabinet under that window from? In your living room next to the fire place
I wrap my decor in tissue paper even in the totes. Might help to prevent anything breaking
