Video: Day in the Life of the Twins and I!

To My Beautiful Child

Hello, my friends! I’ve had quite a few requests to walk through a day in the life of the twins and I at this stage of our lives. What do we do all day? What is our schedule like? What are my favorite products for the babies and I? Click HERE to see my absolute life-saving baby must-haves. I’m also always updating this list here of our favorite products as the babies grow which can be found at the top of my blog under “Favorites.”

I thought the best way of showing you about how our life is right now would be to walk you through with a video step by step throughout the day! If you like this, I think I might do this every few months because as they grow, our schedule will change. If you want some help getting your babies to sleep through the night and on a good schedule, read this post and buy this book. It’s a GAME CHANGER and we are all so happy because of it.

It will be fun for Harris and Goldie to see these videos as they get older too. How cool is it at that we have access to video recorders and digital cameras at our fingertips so easily? These kids are going to have a plethora of photos and videos to watch. And lucky for me I’ll get to re-live their childhood because I’m a ball baby and they growing WAY too fast. I literally started crying real tears the other day because I’m sad that they are growing so fast, and Tyler was crying real tears because he was laughing so hard. Ha!

So here it is. A day in the life of the twins and I!

My momiform basics that I pretty much wear every single day!

      Amanda – your basketball team is AMAZING!! I mean, even though we lost, it was still fun to watch your team play 🙂

      You are so sweet! 5 hours is a great step in the right direction, sis! Getting enough sleep is my key to life happiness. But seriously. I hope that cute baby gets better and better at sleeping! xo

    I love your blog and your posts.

    I have a 5 month old baby boy witch is not sleeping, we bought the book that you recommended “12 hours of sleep by 12 weeks old” but is not working for our baby 🙁
    He wakes up around 5 or 6 times every night 🙁 and he can never gets back to sleep by himself, he cries and cries and cries 🙁 he can cry forever…
    I agree with you about being a better person if we get enough sleep.

    I would like you to ask you some advices that you used with your lovely twins.

    Thank you

      Hi Dalia – I am SO sorry that is hasn’t worked for you! Are you following the guidelines exactly and in the right order? Everyone that I have recommend the book to has absolutely loved it and so have we. I’m so sorry that your boy is not wanting to sleep! We just followed the book exactly and it worked for both of our babies. I’m sorry, I don’t have any other advice than that! Wishing you more sleep in the days ahead! xo

    Hi Jenica!

    I started reading your blog when I began to look into infertility care last november, your story taught me a lot and made me feel much better. I ended up surprisingly finding out I was pregnant the week before I was scheduled for an IUI round, yay! Anyways I was so happy to find out you were pregnant soon after. My little chunk should be older than your babes, born 8/25 but they beat him here! They are the cutest teeniest little angels, and they seem so well behaved! You are a supermom you make twins look easy! Just wanted to say hello and thanks for sharing your story.

    Great video! Your babies seem to be angels!! 🙂 I live in spain and here there is not that book sadly. I have a 6 month old baby too, he use to sleep 6-7 hours every night, then he ask for a bottle and sleep other 3 hours more or less, but every day its different. I’m impressed with your twins, always the same hours!! I don’t know how to do it. I hope once day he start sleeping 12 hours ni a row by himself, maybe… any advice? Congrats for the way you do the things with your babies.

      By the way, do your twins wake up in the middle of the night some night? And for how long? Thank you

        I’m glad you liked it! Honestly, the book is so incredible that I couldn’t possibly summarize it because I followed every detail. I’m sorry! I would say a good suggestion is to start a schedule and stick to it so your babies can expect what’s next and so can you. They don’t wake up at all in the night. Sometimes they’ll wake up in the morning at about 7 and then they lay in their cribs and relax and talk or fall back asleep after we put their bunnies in until it’s time to take them out of their cribs 🙂

    I just had my twins (through Ivf) in November of last year. I ordered the book you recommended for sleeping. Already seen improvements, so thank you! How did you get your babes to go to sleep in their cribs (opposed to rocking them)? Did you do the CIO method at all?

      Congratulations, Lindsay!

      I just put them in their cribs one night! I never rocked them to sleep though before, so they were used to falling asleep after being put in their bassinets awake. I would say start with nap time and see how that goes, then move to the night once they’re used to it. I never used cry it out, the most they cried was 3-5 minutes like the book says 🙂 Wishing you the best of sleep!!

    Wow! Loved seeing a day in the life of yours! Your babies are precious. They seriously are SO happy!! I mean, do they ever cry? Do they just religiously sleep during nap time and patiently wait for you to come get them without crying? It just seems so calm and surreal! I have twins the same age and whew–they’re pretty darn vocal! My little girl would never just lay there so sweetly while I fed the other! Ha! I feel like a three ring circus providing endless entertainment. Back and forth, back and forth. I love it but it just seems a lot more exhausting than yours! And your “witching hour”
    Seems so so calm too! You are so lucky! Any tips for having such perfect little angels? Their demeanor is incredible!! Love your blog and having our girlies for comparison!

Favorite things I heard this week: Goldie genuinel Favorite things I heard this week:
Goldie genuinely asking Harris: “Who has your heart been waiting for?” asking him about who he thinks is cute at school.
Harris: “I haven’t decided yet.”

Goldie walking into my closet before bed last night: “How is my pretty pretty one?” referring to me 😂 Yes, I will read you another book, Goldie.

What were some things that lit up your week?
Make us smile!

This week I was asked this question: “You believ This week I was asked this question: “You believe IN Jesus Christ…but do you believe Him? Do you believe Him when He says He will heal you?”

This made me pause! Do I? Not often enough. I believe that He lived and He atoned for our sins. But I often worry and fear and forget that He’s already paved the way. I often have anxiety about an unknown future and forget that nothing surprises Him and His way is the way home. We know how this all ends. We have the path! But do we believe Him when He says He will heal us? Actually believe that He says what He promises?

I want my kids to know that I believe in Him AND I believe Him. Grateful grateful grateful for the right questions! #parcellsundayselfie 6/5/22
Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what Go Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what God thinks of His children, too. Us. I’ll be looking at my kids in awe of every little detail of perfection. Just staring. Thinking how perfect their eyes are, and their cheeks, and the way they say things. Even though they really aren’t perfect, you know? Except they are.

I think that’s what God sees in us, too. We aren’t perfect and yet He sees us that way.

How our flaws aren’t that big of a deal.

That it’s okay because He encourages us to try again.

We spill, and don’t say things right, and mess up.

But He looks at us the way we look at our kids. I think it’s really cool that someone loves us that much, too ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of m Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of mine. I think the family structure is such a gift. “In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf (one of my FAV speakers!)

My kids will be 6 in July and my mom said to me recently, “they’re 1/3 of the way to 18!” 🤯 That just boggles my mind. Time truly does go quickly and that’s a good thing because that reminder allows you soak up the good times AND that reminder allows you to know that hard times will pass. ❤️

I hope you get some good times this weekend, friends! #parcellsundayselfie 5/29/22
Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Gol Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Goldie had her spring recital and one of my favorite parts is that Harris is always so excited to cheer her on. I think that’s one of the best parts about being a family. We’re each other’s people! Through the highs and the lows.

Goldie got back in the car after her dance pictures on Friday and said, “I need snack after all that excitement!”

We hope you had a great weekend! xo #parcellsundayselfie 5/22/22
Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

16 weeks tomorrow! Feeling great!! #16weekspregnant #ivfsuccess
Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things yo Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things you focus on teaching your kids? 👇🏻

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.

Fun times in the Parcell house right now! 😂 #parcellsundayselfie 5/15/22
