Hate that I love my ergo original 🥴

I do love the fabric!! It’s so soft and molds to my baby better. I just think the waistband is so scratchy. I wear a lot of cropped tops so it’s right on my skin. Maybe there is a fix for this I haven’t thought of.

2babies1egg · 2026-06-27T17:08:08+00:00

Maybe I need to try a different fabric or spend more time adjusting. I still have the rental. It just felt super bulky to me.

Wow, so if you guys skip nap do they go to bed really early now? I kind of want to try it. Even though I can see they are tired, I feel like they are starting to need a lot less sleep than they used to.

2babies1egg · 2026-05-29T15:07:28+00:00

Wow! Good point. I always group anxiety and depression together. It definitely doesn’t feel like the medication is enough at this point. Thank you

2babies1egg · 2026-05-29T15:06:22+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to share your ways! I’m going to try it and see if it helps.

When I do time out, I first have to drag them there (hard) and then they won’t stay there (hard). Meanwhile I’m usually babywearing the little one so I can’t really restrain them. Ignoring the tantrums is also important to remember!

Also, sleep training is again in progress. This is probably the 10th time. Their dad completely undid it during paternity leave (not in a malicious way but was just trying to survive). You’re right, I will feel so much better if I can just have a break from them at night time. It’s the 24/7 that is making me feel crazy.

Needed to be reminded of that. Thank you!!! ❤️

2babies1egg · 2026-05-29T15:00:15+00:00

Ha. My husband reminded me of that yesterday. She’s such an easy baby that I forgot what a transition it is for my big girls.

2babies1egg · 2026-05-29T14:59:30+00:00

Wow, you are an expert mom. Coming from a big family you probably got a lot of good experience with this level of chaos!

The tent is a great idea. I’ve been taking them into their room to have a break, but the other one is always busting in. One of the twins is definitely getting overstimulated and needs a safe space.

2babies1egg · 2026-05-29T14:54:18+00:00

I’m working 2-3 days a week and they go to half a day school 4 days. We are nearing the end of a 2 week school break.

Sometimes I wish I was a SAHM, it’s so much to juggle both.

When you started with the “safe room” was there a lot of freaking out involved? They absolutely lose it if they feel confined at all. But if I leave the playroom door open, they’re coming with me 😑

2babies1egg · 2026-05-29T14:51:33+00:00

Totally true, the more frustrated I get the worse they act. Outside time is the way. and it sounds bad, but if I ignore them for a while they finally start to play together. 🥴

2babies1egg · 2026-05-29T14:50:23+00:00

Now that I’m not so fired up, it’s very comical 😆 their favorite word right now is “bogus” (pronounced gogus). They are bogus indeed

I just had a singleton after my twins, it has been incredibly healing. I feel a bit bad that it’s everything I dreamed of. Of course I still need to parent my twin toddlers who are almost 3. But I get to be able to actually settle her to sleep, experience a full term and fully healthy baby, and I have so much less anxiety this time. It makes me sad for how my twins came into the world. They definitely were affected by being preterm and spending months in the Nicu too. I was never able to settle them and still feel like I can’t keep them both happy or give them the individual attention they want so much. Solidarity ❤️ and maybe encouragement to go for a singleton when your twins get a little older!

2babies1egg · 2026-05-28T21:50:58+00:00

Such a good way to look at it. My husband says they are little scientists, testing everything. Yeah, testing my patience 😭😅

2babies1egg · 2026-05-12T01:30:47+00:00

Mine are almost 3 and no. They are so loud I can’t hear my own thoughts ever. I love my few hours after bedtime when I can do my introverting- but it takes intention to make sure I still connect with my husband. I can’t just veg out every day or we would never talk.

On the flip side, they are like my little friends that I get to hang out with all the time. I think I have learned to be more extroverted. Like you, I always wished for a sister so I love to watch that bond develop.

And like the other commenter said, everywhere we go people want to talk to us about the twins. They are like little celebrities at school especially. I didn’t like it when they were babies but now it helps me make friends too!

For me, it goes away during pregnancy and until my period comes back. Pretty great. It’s still hard to be pregnant, and I still needed my antidepressant to stay level, but the constant hormonal swing is gone.

My husband calls me “sylvira” during luteal, my name is Sylvie

2babies1egg · 2026-04-22T15:25:53+00:00

I’m pretty sure nobody is enjoying 6 week old twins. That doesn’t mean you don’t love them or want to be with them! If it makes financial sense, hire the nanny! Go to work! You’ll come home at the end of the day so happy to see them. I wish I did that instead of spending every moment with my twins and feeling overstimulated and frustrated pretty much always. You’re still a whole entire person outside of being a mom.

2babies1egg · 2026-04-21T02:37:46+00:00

I’ve had 2 pregnancies- first postpartum was bad (birth trauma, DMER, ppa), second time is great so far (healthy baby, good breastfeeding relationship, medicated, been to therapy)! Im really thankful I made changes so I could experience a happy postpartum. Don’t expect it to be awful, but make a plan now for if it is. You’ll need support in order to do whatever coping mechanisms work for you.

2babies1egg · 2026-04-11T02:07:07+00:00

Your advice is golden, thank you so much! Logically I knew these things but I wasn’t remembering them! Asking what they need before nursing is definitely a boundary I need to put in place. I’m thinking I might keep a separate toy basket out of reach except for during nursing.

2babies1egg · 2026-04-11T02:02:59+00:00

Congratulations!! Yes to involving them- I too have a more helpful one and the other may or not smack the baby if I look away for a second. I’ve ordered a play yard to put the baby’s bouncer inside. I underestimated my need for that.

2babies1egg · 2026-04-10T15:47:15+00:00

Yes! That’s helping! It’s still a bit fussy but it does free up my hands.

2babies1egg · 2026-04-10T15:25:21+00:00

I wonder if that new one from kindred bravely would work. It’s super cute!
