    I’m a nicu nurse and I always give extra hugs and cuddles to my twins when brother or sister goes home before them. We also say sometimes it’s better for parents instead of completing overwhelming them with two babies. Of course you want both babies together, but we take great care of the babies when they still need a little more time ❤️

      As a former NICU preemie who was not allowed to go home for MONTHS after my twin, this comment gives me so much comfort. Our family lived 2.5 hours away and could only visit once a week for a few hours. My twin came to visit a couple of times in the 8 months we were separated. Thank you for cuddling the babies.

    Twin NICU mom here! My daughter came home about 3 weeks before my son did. This stage was the hardest part for me, you’re so right about feeling like you’re being torn in so many different directions. It’s beyond tough. I’m not sure if things are different now with Covid protocols or maybe your hospital is just different in general but when I had to bring my daughter home they set up a cot next to my sons bed so I could bring her with me when going to the hospital to see him. It was difficult adding a newborn to the already tough hospital visit schedule BUT it really did make me feel better having them together and not having to leave her at home on top of leaving him in the hospital each day. His names Jude so every time we left the hospital without him I would put on “hey jude” on the drive home and just uncontrollably sob lol it’s so hard feeling like no matter where you are you aren’t there for one of your babies. The only silver lining I felt in hindsight was that it made the transition to being home with twins easier and less daunting. Like baby steps towards the chaos that comes with newborn twins. I wish I had more advice but just know you’re not alone and my heart goes out to you and Eric during this incredibly difficult next stage of the NICU journey

    Not a twin mama but a previous NICU nurse. Just know that when you aren't able to be there, we nurses are loving amd caring for those babies like they are our own. To the point I've sobbed in grief and happy tears at the same time when a baby gets to go home.
    Hang in there mama. You are so strong and you got this.

    As a nicu baby, she won’t remember being alone in the hospital room with her cords, something that will always stick is the feeling and smell of her parents and siblings. For her to learn to eat will be quick! Just love her completely when you’re there, and try your best to focus on Wesley and and flynn when you’re home. Love you mama, you got this❤️

    Watching this after the babies just turned one, it makes me giggle when they said Wesley liked the skid steer, because Wes LOVES cars. lol I also forgot about how absolutely heartwarming and sweet this video is. Erik is literally made to be a dad. His supportive hand in the hospital, and how he introduced Wes to Flynn. Gosh, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. 🥰 Flynn being confused and so interested in Wes. And then knowing how in love he became of both babies when Maisy came home. What a bond these 5 have ❤

    I’ve never related to a vlog more than this one. My twins were born at 36.5 and my little boy came home first and my baby girl 10 days later. Leaving my baby girl was the hardest thing to do and that feeling like your leaving her all alone honestly sticks around until she will be home with you. The only comfort was knowing I had the nurses there with her and that she was absolutely where she needed to be. Your doing an amazing job momma xo

    I’m a twin NICU mama, my boys were separated for 2 weeks. I also had a toddler at home. It was HARD, and I cried a LOT on top of recovering from a c-section it felt like the world was caving in around me. Looking back almost 2 years later, I think it really was a blessing in disguise. I got to ease into having two babies at home, especially through the night, big brother got to adjust to one baby before being introduced to the second one, and it was so helpful for the babies to come home on a schedule, which helped me to “get to know” them a little bit better and their different cries and likes/dislikes. We were lucky that we were in a small NICU where there were only 3-4 babies at a time so he was being cared for often but I still was heartbroken that he was in there by himself. I kept saying “how do you decide who to be with? Your baby and your toddler that’s being loved on by your family or the baby in the best, safest place for them to be right now being cared for by skilled doctors and nurses who love their jobs?” I still don’t feel like I have an answer but I do know that it’s just a moment in time. You will be the one that remembers the struggle and the pain to help other new twin moms when they are going through the hardest of it, but your babies will only remember that they are loved by you. You’re an incredible mama and you’re doing a great job. You’ll look back in a year from now and have no idea how you made it as far as you did, but you’ll have done it, even if right now it feels like you’re just trying to stay afloat. Give yourself grace and know that you’re trying your best, all three of your babies will know that ❤️❤️

    The way you talk about Maisy's personality, she'll probably wake up one day and go "ok, I'm ready to follow the rules". It will be a blink and she'll go from we're not sure to wait what. She seems to be an "in her own time" girl. Hoping and praying that whatever the case may be she's home before Christmas because I know that would be the ultimate gift for you and Erik.

    My Twins came home 2 weeks apart. Having one at home and one at the Nicu is heartbreaking. By far the hardest thing ever. I have no idea who ive heard say this but it's for parents. "The days feel like years and the years feel like days". I think every mom would agree. What you and Eric are doing is exactly what my husband and i did. Switched back and forth, barely saw eachother. But we knew, like you said, its temporary. Hard as heck but temporary. Also agreeing with Megan, bringing one home at a time does help you ease into having two newborns at home. Obviously having them both home would be the best scenario but being a twin Nicu mom is a whole different experience. Youll be stronger for it. I promise. Also congrats on all your breast milk! You go Mamma!❤ i had a hard time producing enough breast milk for two babies. So i see your freezer and it makes me happy. Hehe 😁

    My mom is a twin NICU mom! My sister came home 11 weeks before I did! She said she got through it by designating times for both of us. Making sure she spent equal time with both of us whether it be at home or at the hospital. Also similar to what you did with the babies smelling you, it might be nice for maisy to smell Wesley. When my sister left me in the NICU I guess I really liked her blanket instead of mine because it smelled like her!

    Flynn’s fourth wall break look at the camera was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. As the big sibling to twins I relate buddy, but I promise they won’t steal all of your spotlight and you’ll be so happy they are there. He’s going to be the best big brother.
    When my mom had my sisters one of them had issues breathing on her own and had to be in the NICU for a bit to help her lungs get stronger and I know for my parents it was the hardest thing in the world but it made them and the twins stronger for it. Im convinced that being away from her sister made her work extra hard to get back together as fast as possible. They always said wombmates to roommates and even though one of my sisters is no longer with us that hold true to this day.
    Maisy Jo will be home so soon and knowing how littlest sisters are, whipping her big brothers into shape and wrapping them both around her tiny finger in no time. You and Erik are incredible, strong, loving, and brilliant parents who will look back on this time and find the silver linings and lessons to be grateful for, but until then. Just know that all the tears and the hurt and the hardship is temporary and you are doing so incredibly well and all three of your babies are lucky they get to have you both to raise them.

    My baby was in the NICU earlier this year. She's my first. That was the hardest thing I've ever gone through. My husband and I kept trying to find silver linings. In some way, bringing one baby home first allows for more direct attention to each baby. Wesley is home and your family can focus on meeting and spending time with wesley, then when maisey comes home, it can be the opposite. This is such a hard experience. Don't let anyone tell you how you should be feeling. Whatever you're feeling is justified. You have so much love and support. You and Erik will be pushed to your limits with all of this, but you will have such a new found love for each other and for your children. I think about you daily and hope that your family will all be home soon!

    Our twins came home at different times. What we ended up doing is one of us went to the NICU to visit the one still in the NICU and the other stayed home with the one who was home (we would switch the next day). The one who went took lots of pictures. It was so hard. The one left behind it was so funny how it just clicked one day (and a lot quicker than we had expected). Before we knew it they were telling us she was coming home (it was about a week or so difference)

    Had triplets that came home at three different times. One at 6 days. One at 3 weeks and 1 a day short of a month. Although I know how super blessed I was that they came home relatively fast and had a pretty uncomplicated stay. It's still hard. It still feels like forever in the moment. I feel like everyone told me how it was so nice that I was able to ease into things with bringing them home separately,but honestly that was the last thing I wanted to hear. All I wanted was to be home with all my babies at once, no matter how difficult it would or wouldn't be. I was blessed to be able to bring my babies back with me everyday to visit the one/ones still in the hospital. It's hard and people ask or comment "I don't know how you do it" or "how do you do it" but honestly...you just do it. Somehow it all works out, you figure it out. I pray you are able to enjoy the time with Wesley home but also find peace in knowing you are doing your best for all your little ones. I could reassure you that youe ladybug will be home soon enough, But you know this, I'm sure everyone has said it, has reminded you she is in great hands. You know everything will be OK, but sometimes it just stinks. It's not what you want, and you are aloud to cry and your aloud to be sad, and your aloud to be happy all at the same time!

    Flynn aged so quickly sitting beside Wesley.. It seems like just yesterday he was a little baby in your arms and now he’s showing his brother (and teaching me) what a skid steer is!

    Toddlers are always so underwhelmed by their new baby sibling, they're like "does it do anything?! No? Well just come and get me when it can play." Lol

      Fr I was 2 when my sister was born and at the hospital my mom was telling me to sit next to her so I could hold the baby but I had no clue what was going on and just stood there like 🧍‍♀️

      Even older too! My brother was born when I was six and I was like “so what’s the point?” “Why is it here?” lol😐

    I love the fact that Erik’s parents are able to meet Wes and be there for Flynn’s birthday! What an amazing day for the Stocklin Ballinger family 💛

    Such a sweet video. I’m crying just watching this from my hospital bed, recovering from a fractured hip. I won’t be home for weeks. You will all be together soon mama 💙💜

    7:09 Flynn smirked just like Miranda! I’m so glad Wesley is home, and hope Maisy will be home soon too!
