They’re finally here — and so is our twin birth story! In the Season 2 kick-off, I’m sharing how our babies made their grand entrance — complete with an Eminem “Lose Yourself” jam session, a breeched surprise, and a packed delivery room.
For the first time ever, my husband joins me to relive the funny, emotional, and slightly unhinged moments of labor, delivery, and those first hectic days of postpartum life.
It’s real, messy, and full of heart and laughter — the perfect start to life as a family of five!!!!! 👶👶
I’m officially 35 weeks pregnant with twins, which basically means I’m waddling around like a penguin, overanalyzing every ache and twinge, and wondering if it’s “go time” or just…gas. In this episode, I’m talking about what it’s like to wait around for these babies to make their grand entrance (call me Mrs. Anxious lately!) while trying to soak up our final days as a family of three.
Plus, I’ll share the last-minute prep we’re scrambling to do before delivery—because nothing says “ready for twins” like finalizing your birth plan and putting together your hospital bag at 10pm!
Building a baby registry for one baby can feel overwhelming—but for twins? It’s a whole new level of what do I really need?! In this episode, I’m breaking down the must-haves (and the nice-to-haves) when preparing for life with two little ones. From gear that makes twin life easier to items you can skip altogether, consider this your insider’s guide to twin baby prep.
Plus, I’m sharing all the sweet details from the sprinkle my amazing friend hosted—because celebrating these babies (and surviving pregnancy!) deserves some extra love.
Tune in for practical tips, laughs, and a behind-the-scenes look at how we’re getting ready for our double blessing.
Let’s be real—trimester three with twins is not for the faint of heart. In this unfiltered episode, I’m diving into the aches, the laughs, the tears, and all the, "WTF is happening to my body?!" moments that come with the final stretch of twin pregnancy. From going to the bathroom all night long, to sexy constipation talk, nothing is off-limits.
Tune in for some raw, real mom-to-be content. Expect some venting, some humor, and a whole lot of honesty about what it’s like growing two humans and still trying to function.
Grab your ice packs and stool softeners ladies—it’s real talk time.
In this episode, 25-weeks pregnant, we’re talking about the Three Bs of baby prep—and no, it’s not bottles, bibs, and burp cloths (though those are important too). We’re diving into the fun, and the slightly stressful parts of prepping for parenthood: babymoons, baby showers, and birth plans.
First up: the babymoon—aka your last chance to sleep in, eat fancy food, drink hot coffee, and pee in peace. Then we tackle the baby shower—how to prep, create a registry, or skip it altogether (no judgment here). Finally, we get into the basics of the birth plan— we still have time, but have you started to discuss your birth preferences?
We’ve officially hit the halfway mark—20 weeks pregnant with twins! 🎉 In this episode, I’m sharing all the excitement (and realness) of reaching this huge milestone. From feeling those first tiny kicks to navigating double the cravings and doctor appointments, it’s been a journey already! We'll also discuss plans for your Babymoon (yes dads, it's a real thing!) and how to prepare for your gestational diabetes test.
Whether you're a fellow twin mama or just love a good pregnancy update, come celebrate this joyful milestone with me! 💛👶👶

Expecting twins? Get ready—not just for double the diapers, but double the awkward questions, and jaw-dropping comments. In this episode, we dive into the wild world of what people think it’s okay to say when you're expecting multiples. From “Were they natural?” to “You're going to need two of everything!”—we unpack some of the most common (and cringe-worthy) remarks twin parents-to-be hear, and share strategies for handling them with grace, humor, or a well-placed side-eye. Tune in for real talk, laughter, and solidarity.
We’re talking all things gender reveal in this episode — because the big moment has happened! I’m sharing how we found out the genders of Baby A and Baby B, what went down at our reveal (including Diva Abigail coming out), and some fun gender reveal ideas if you're planning your own. Whether you want something intimate or Instagram-worthy, we've got you covered on some starting point for ideas!
Whether you're a fellow twin parent, expecting your first, or just love a good gender-reveal story — this one’s for you!
Week 12 and the twins are the size of limes—but somehow Mom's symptoms are still supersized. In this episode, we’re talking about the never-ending nausea and the unexpected romance of heartburn... oh the early-pregnancy joys that no one puts in the baby books.
Join me as I share my go-to remedies (warning, some are weird) and laugh through the chaos. Because sometimes, when you’re growing two humans and can’t keep a meal down, all you can do is laugh—carefully, and upright, so you don’t make the heartburn worse.

Let’s rewind to where this wild ride really began...
