    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.

    It's wonderful that Wesley was able to be greeted by BOTH sets of grandparents! When Erik's parents initially came to town I remember you said they weren't going to get to meet the babies, but look now!! At least they got to meet one of them! When Maisy comes home it'll be a perfect reason for them to come back to Cali!

    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 ❤

    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

    Yay! So happy for you that Wesley finally graduated and came home! He is so precious and sweet. I'm a NICU mom with twins, and they came home a week apart. It seemed like it took forever for them to learn to eat properly, and it was hard to watch other babies go home and try to be patient and stay focused on helping our boys. They were in the hospital for 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 weeks; one had a little more trouble eating because of reflux, and he also came home on oxygen and with a pulse oximeter (that would beep randomly during the night when nothing was wrong; very annoying). But it was definitely heartbreaking to have to leave one behind, even though we knew he was in the best hands. It was a weird limbo stage, like we were trying to move forward and stay in the same place at the same time; and when we were at home, it was almost like I was missing an arm or something. And I wasn't even as attached as you yet because I was a first time mom and still kind of in shock adjusting to the idea of going from 0 kids to 2 in the space of 5 minutes. The whole thing was just surreal. That time is kind of just a blur of going back and forth to the hospital twice a day (my mom would drive down to take me in the morning, and then husband and I would go together after he got off work), but I think we generally just took turns going in (our hospital didn't allow us to bring the released baby in with us). Other than that, all I could really do was just stay busy and focused on what I could control (i.e. when at home, focus on that baby and give him my best effort; when at the hospital, focus on that baby and do as much as I could for him in that time), pray for the other one that he would heal and grow and come home soon, and hold onto my faith to leave the rest in the Lord's hands and trust that He would take care of us all. Having caring neighbors and family nearby really helped too. Sending you all the love and prayers. You can do this!

    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 ❤️❤️

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.

Know that while you can’t be there to take care of them someone else is and they are going to come home, grow big and all this NICU stuff will be behind you! Stay strong and cry all you want, you’re a mama and need to go through everything!!!

    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)

    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!

    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!

My oh my it was so so so hard, my babies were going to come home at different times but their dad refused to separate them, and surprisingly the next day Twin B shocked everyone and caught up with her sister on her feedings.
