I just wanted to say I appreciate Colleen contributing to normalizing breastfeeding, even though she might not know it. Can't wait to hear the babie's names! Love you Colleen!

Rather than leaving for days and coming home with two babies that need all of your attention, he gets this perfect transition time, where you spend part of the day at hospital but come home and give him one to one attention. You are doing amazing Colleen, please never doubt that. Love from the UK xxx

Hey mama, I just wanted to remind you of how well you are rocking the NICU mama/mama to Flynn life. I know it doesn’t always feel like it but you are! Being a NICU mama was the hardest journey I have endeavored so far and I forget now that my twins are almost 2, all the emotions and fear and never feeling like I’m doing enough. But trust me when I say YOU ARE ENOUGH! Those sweet bugs wouldn’t want any other person to be their mom! Stay strong mama! Love a fellow NICU, c-section, boy/girl twin mama! 😘

I’m glad to hear you talk about being excited you aren’t pregnant anymore! My therapist has been teaching me about gratitude and how we all need to take moments and remember the good things in life and not get bogged down by all the inconveniences and sadnesses that each new day brings.

Colleen, your laughter with Erik and Flynn made my heart so happy. I know the heart breaking separation from your precious babies weighs heavy, but it is so important to find the moments of joy in the midst of pain. It is the only way to get through. Also kudos to the nurse who knows how important it is for mama and her babies to ALL cuddle. Those little one have been cuddle buddies for their entire lives and I can't help but think they need each other.

I appreciate what Colleen says about stat at home moms. It gets so frustrating when people think stay at home moms have it easy because we don’t work. We made this choice because it’s what’s best for our families. In my case I have no help, I’m basically with the kids by myself for majority of the day and it is TOUGH! So thank you Colleen for saying that.

Being a stay at home mom is 100% a full time job and not an easy one! All mamas are awesome but the ones who work jobs besides being a mother are truly working two jobs, not one!! Mama's who stay home are just as amazing and put in SO much work!! I'm not a mama but I used to be a nanny and I know how much work it is taking care of little ones all day! ❤❤ Honestly I think alot of mom's who also work outside the home feel like work is a break from their full time job of being a mom! Sometimes moms just need some adult interaction and a break from their little ones! Stay at home mom's don't get nearly as much of that as mother's who work and spend hours away from home daily! I'm sure it is hard for them being away from their babies/kids while at work but at the same time it's gotta be tough for stay at home mom's who don't get that time away!

Claire Ashley Any of the time you aren’t with your kids, you’re creating a job opportunity (paid or unpaid) for someone else. So that’s an awesome thing if you can find a trustworthy person/community to take on that responsibility as their job. But you don’t have two jobs - you have parental responsibility, as well as a job.

@@joubinha333 Yes, I understand that. My point was, that being a mom is alot of work! No, you don't get paid to do it but it is certainly work whether you are paid for it or not. Was simply agreeing with the OP because many people think stay at home mom's don't work which is absolutely not true! I've been an over full time nanny and I know how much work just that is, and that's not even close to 24/7. Of course it's your responsibility as a parent but that also doesn't mean it isn't work. I have nothing against working mom's either! Absolutely nothing! Working mom's are rockstars and I'm thankful for the ones I've known who have given me awesome work that I truly cherished, my point is just that stay at home mom's are just as big of rockstars as those who have jobs!😊

My boy girl twins were born at 26 weeks and 3 days (watching this and listening to what you were saying brought back memories when my two were in the NICU made me tear up lol) my two were born a minute apart, my daughter was born at 4:53pm and my son was born at 4:54pm on August 2nd, 2019. Their original due date was November 5th, 2019

Colleen, I wanted to thank you so much for the honesty of your videos. I already loved and appreciated my mother very much but hearing how hard this is for you has really helped me gain a new sense of appreciation for my mom. She was also a NICU momma and had to come home without my brother for several days. Now look in her in awe with how much she had to go through to have me and siblings. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. 💜

Even if we were not in a pandemic, it's unlikely Flynn would be allowed into the NICU. They probably would have been able t bring him to the hospital and let him see them through a window though (if there is one) pre-pandemic.

My best friend had a nicu daughter, her sons were allowed to meet her after the first like 4+ months of her life, there were a lot of hoops to go through before they could meet as a family. So it’s really unlikely that Flynn will be able to meet them before it’s time to come home

Most NICUs, even pre pandemic, don’t let children under about 14 in just because of the amounts of germs and minor illnesses they carry. When my little siblings were in the NICU I could visit as I was 18 but my younger sister couldn’t.

At first I was thinking, “it’s ok to take a compliment!” But then realized how grateful I was that she said how much helps she gets and also how much she needs this for herself. Im pregnant with a toddler and my husband works full time and I don’t have any help at all. I often feel like a failure - I can’t accomplish things like I used to. I used to do a lot and now I can barely get anything done for me and it’s been really hard. So thank you for saying that, Colleen! You’re still a rockstar ;)

Just getting through a pregnancy AND staying home with a little one is A LOT! Even if nothing feels done. It is because your work gets ERASED! Cooking, laundry, basic needs just keep needing to be done. Even bare minimum. You change a diaper, they dirty it. You wipe a face they dirty it. You bathe them and put clean clothes on them, ... You guessed it! THEY DIRTY THEM! 😂 So tidying toys and food shopping and everything else gets UNDONE! Just snuggle the toddler and do not worry about the cobwebs. They grow up SO bloody fast. The cobwebs will be there later I promise! SAHM of 20 yrs to daughters ages 15, 20, 25 & 29 (step daughter). The youngest has always chosen to homeschool. My pregnancies were rough too! Insanely rough so that my OB/GYN begged me not to have more kids bc it could mean my life! If you add in anything like undiagnosed ADHD or helath issues then it is just anazing your are all alive at the end of the day! Good job Jamie keeping humans alive. 😉 hugs from Central Florida!
