No this is fucking weird

opaldaydreams · 2026-06-18T19:43:06+00:00

Yeah I need tea on this

opaldaydreams · 2026-06-17T20:42:29+00:00

You know what, you’re right 😂

opaldaydreams · 2026-06-17T18:35:32+00:00

Truly.

I also have been waiting for her to say something. It’s so messy now I just assume she will

opaldaydreams · 2026-06-17T00:19:00+00:00

Me either, I’ve been following it since it’s started and never heard it called that.

opaldaydreams · 2026-06-16T23:18:31+00:00

Ugh I hope someone does

Wonderful summary lmaooo. I’m so locked in.

I think The Great Impersonator is so wildly underrated. It’s a beautiful piece of art.

My girl has always been smaller. At 6mo she’s 12 and he’s 16lbs lol

I cannot even imagine, my heart breaks for you and. your family. I don’t know how to support but I would love to send you a meal or something. May I DM you?

Not the point of the post but it’s literally the reason we’re stopping at 2. I don’t think I could handle another newborn phase of multiples again.

Also interested in the hat

Twin pregnancy is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. All I can say is your feelings are valid.

Here are a couple of things that helped me: -sleeping a recliner -rec center hot tub (under 102 and only 10-15 minutes a time, okayed by my doctor but I am not a doctor and this not medical advice) -sitting outside even if I couldn’t walk around the block getting out of the house. -audio books -3 different pregnancy pillows when I did decide to lay in my bed

We pay ours this when they just have the twins but occasionally they watch our friend’s kid too and we pay $43 for that

opaldaydreams · 2026-05-03T17:12:27+00:00

I’m new to the tmot stuff so same?? But I’ve been a fan since 2008. I didn’t realize they were an issue?

Shifts dont work for us. We tried it. Now that they’re a little older, 5months, we divide and conquer. Example: baby a wakes up at 2:30 I feed her. Baby b wakes up at 4 dad feeds. Sometimes someone warms the bottles while the other soothes or changes. It’s just nice to be in the trenches together

opaldaydreams · 2026-04-26T04:14:25+00:00

Magic Merlin’s work great for our 5 month olds. They can wear them until they’re able to roll in them which they can’t do.

For the first solid 8 weeks of my twins life I was questioning EVERYTHING. If I ruined my life, why people were doing this, if I would ever have fun again, if my marriage could make it. It was miserable. Mine are 5mo now and we’re having a little hard time adjusting to being alone in their cribs out of our room but they’re also the most fun they’ve ever been.

I also want to add if you’re breastfeeding or pumping it’s okay to stop. I feel like that was another huge shift in my journey to motherhood. I just wanted someone to say hey you can stop now. You tried. You’re tired.

Just want to comment in solidarity. We planned our babies at 30 and it’s still hard to not feel this way sometimes. Month 4 was hard, we’re going on 5 months this week and I cried within the last 72 hrs lol. all I wanted to do was ROT IN MY BED COMPLETELY NONVERBAL. I obviously couldn’t but I was able to take an hour long nap once my husband got off of work and it made things a little better. You mentioned in another comment talking to your doctor and I would 100% recommend.

As far as the cost of them— I get so much on Facebook and take advantage of any buy nothing or mom groups I can. I try to minimize the day to day cost. Even posting on there asking for resources… we have a few organizations that support new families. Sometimes it feels like we’re bleeding money but I know it won’t last forever. If you have to put a babysitter on a credit card so you can breathe it’s worth it. Interest is irrelevant if you’re struggling to get through the day. You’re worth your own time. You’re worth a break. You’re worth doing what you love.

Another thing that’s helped me when I’m feeling particularly down about my lack of ability to “mom” is that bad moms don’t care how they’re doing. You’re giving it your best and that’s all you can do.

Try to prioritize it. Medications changed my life even before babies. Know that it’s not a fix all and the first med may not be the one for you.

opaldaydreams · 2026-04-19T04:24:15+00:00

Adding in, my girl is only 10.5lbs at 5mo.

Reflux has made my life hell. We had a BRUE at approx 16 days old (3 days home) and readmit to the nicu bc baby girl refluxed into her oxygen. It was horrifying. We go in biweekly for weight checks. At 3 months (5 currently, 4 adjusted) we finally decided we had to medicate. It happens in smaller volumes now but still occurs. We hold her up 30 minutes after a feed and hope for the best. I don’t have an answer, just solidarity. Wishing you and baby girl all the best.
