Didn’t Rachel officiate their wedding? Rachel can legally do it, she was officiant for Teeny and Simons wedding years ago. But there would have been other legal stuff Colleen and Erik would have had to do as well, so even if Rachel did do it legally, if no paperwork was formally signed and handed in to officials its not a real wedding.
Yup exactly what I was wondering, Rachel officiated but did they ever get a marriage certificate?

the baby situation is making me feel kind of sick to stomach. i think they’ll be okay but because of how public colleen is if something happens to one of them it’ll be unbearable for her (even worse than the most unimaginable pain) and everyone will be blaming her for straightening her hair and everything. which isn’t totally fair but it makes sense. because of flynn she obviously thought they were gonna be fine

Same. How bleeping stupid do you have to be to say that, when NICU babies could actually end up in those kind of boxes? It seems she really doesn't grasp any of this.
i god i want to cry :(

It's not like she was full term, these were premature twins. Trying to show off to the camera by straightening her hair and laughing about it is just a blatant disregard for safety. Maybe she was taking things more seriously off camera but there seems to be such a lack of concern. Even before the birth, when she was talking about them being potentially early (I didn't watch every single vlog so I could've missed it) I don't remember her ever saying anything along the lines of wanting them to stay in as long as possible to make sure they're safe, being nervous about the risks etc.
even after posting that her instagram story

I will say that for twins 36weeks is the average gestational period and many online resources say that babies born between 32 and 37 weeks generally do quite well (despite my midwife mother saying that at 35 weeks twins tend to go more downhill). If Colleens doctors had her prepared enough (and Colleen did say like last week that the twins could be born at any moment) then the babies being born at 32weeks wouldn’t have been a shock or be considered an emergency in her mind. There was no way for her to know of any potential issues until she was scanned at the hospital. The fact that Flynn was about a month/3 weeks early probably affected her mindset as well. Having now watched her vlog of the day the twins were born, I feel bad for judging her for her feelings post birth. Her hormones would have been all over the place- it’s normal after giving birth and it was a very different experience from what she went through with Flynn. She made some choice words which should have been edited out ie the box comment (I cringed when she said that, especially considering I have a family member who went into premature labour at 24 weeks with a single pregnancy and the baby died). I’m not going to judge her for how she felt after the twins were born but she really should’ve watched back what she said and edited out the box comment. The twins are in incubators to help them breathe on their own, it’s difficult to see and deal with but they are not in boxes!

Yeah pretty much good luck but also princessy lifestyle. She’s so self absorbed it’s beyond belief. Even now she’s talking about herself, when her newborn daughter is literally unable to breathe on her own, she’s nagging about how horrible it is that she wasn’t allowed to eat her cheeseburger. Just wow.



I am betting the nanny will be her mother- unpaid of course :(

Im still not positive did she and Erik really married legally, I won’t be surprisedthey didn’t and one sunny day he just walks away.

It’s clear he loves his kids but taking care of kids in the NICU would have put a stress even ona heathy relationship (which they clearly don’t have), so I highly doubt their “relationship” will go past 2022.

He won't. He loves spending her money too much to walk away, although she would have to pay spousal support in the event of a divorce. He will cheat. He'll have an affair just like the one he had with her but this time with someone else.

she did know they were footling breech though I believe,,, she mentioned it recently that they were basically standing up which is why the boy twin was causing so much pain with his foot movements she assumed. Wouldn’t her doctor have warned her about the danger of prolapse with this scenario (especially should she progress into labor on her own before scheduled c-section) ? Of course it’s all conjecture and the twins being safe and healthy is the best outcome thankfully. Having had two children myself I can’t imagine having to be separated from them postpartum,, especially as you say,, while being caught up in the hormone storm of having just given birth. They aren’t my babies and I even want to get to them and comfort them. Poor little punkins

I'm sure in one of her other vlogs she said they went to a registry office
I know what you are referring to- something on her podcast- which made me even more suspicious, almost like she said it so people believe her they’re “married”…

In any case she’s a master of quickie divorces, I’m ready with the popcorn for the break up which I think is imminent even with the kids

Oh of course she knew! She described multiple times how the male fetus is “standing” inside.. Unless she is cognitively impaired, she knew the risks.

I just noticed between water breaking and birth is whole 2 hours! Considering prolapsed cord is obstetric emergency C section happens within minutes. Meaning she was having fun at home /driving for over hour and a half, while her baby was severely distressed. I just can’t….

She should have gone as quickly as possible to the hospital but let’s just be glad they’re okay. It seems the severity of the situation didn’t sink in enough. I don’t believe she did that because she doesn’t love her children or want what’s best for them. If she ends up getting a nanny or her parents want to help care for their grandchildren then there’s nothing wrong with that. And I don’t see why on earth she would pretend to get married, no one would care if they weren’t married.

It irks me how self-obsessed she is. Even the birth clog was about her, the babies complications were mentioned in passing and HER was the focus.

I hope they pull through without too many further complications.

The lying about marriage, if it’s a lie like I think, is because of her religious upbringing- for her seems to be a huge deal (remember the wedding with Josh- it was over the top, that was clearly her dream in life)

I don’t think she is as religious anymore so I doubt she still holds those views. I didn’t see the birth vlog like that at all, they talked about the babies, yes she talked about herself too, she did give birth to them so it is also about her and her health too. Idk I just think people are nit picking at everything she says when she’s clearly very emotional and vulnerable right now

Yes I agree, and will likely take a break from watching her posts as I seem to be taking it too much to heart. We all make dumb choices (I’ve certainly made some whoppers). I keep going back to that they are all safe now. And yes I believe she has a mother’s heart and loves them very much. Will be keeping the sweet little babes in my prayers.

The sign language was baby sign language so they could understand his needs before he could speak.

Well.. her last Instagram post left me speechless. She’s promoting her new merch while her kids are fighting for their livesat NICU.

There are always 2 sides of a story but still, vulnerable upset new mother promoting her merch while her daughter breathes through a tube… How low can she get for $$$ :(

She's got to take advantage of the publicity and attention from the birth to make that coin.

3 vlogs and a video in two days: Colleen if you read REST!!
She's absolutely terrified that if she stops uploading for a while her viewers will move on and forget about her. :(

Her behaviour is really worrying. She has 2 babies in NICU who need considerable care and attention. But rather than take time out to look after them and give them the focus they need, she's instead hyper fixated on editing vlogs and getting content. It's not normal to react that way.

Comments from her fans about how she's amazing and supermum for putting out so much content will just encourage her. She needs to take a break and step away from Youtube. Her babies should come first.

I think she's more religious than she let's on. I think it benefits her to suppress that part of herself, so she does, but watching almost daily vlogs for the past year and a half, she's let a lot of stuff slip out.
