1
Hey guys, you guys probably expected this video to be Brooklyn's telling the family video
2
that we said was going to go up this week
3
But we felt like this video was more important to put up before that
4
So we're postponing that to next week and we're gonna chat today.
5
Yeah, a little bit
6
Yes, we felt like the stuff
7
that we're gonna talk about in this video needed to be addressed because there's been so much chatter
8
Online in the last week about like the announcement Brooklyn made last week
9
So we just want to talk about it and be like real.
10
I mean clearly I announced that I was pregnant with my second baby last week
11
And there were a lot of emotions coming through
12
and coming out in the comments and I do not blame anybody for that
13
This is a very emotional situation
14
We are also experiencing an emotional roller coaster navigating this entire process, but we wanted to come on here and just kind of talk about it
15
Yeah, like we just felt like it needed we we just needed to chat about it I think
16
because there's just so much chatter
17
But like none of it's coming from me and Brooklyn
18
So we want you guys to hear from us about how
19
we feel about everything how we feel about the comments things like that
20
Um, so if you aren't aware
21
Let's start from the beginning Brooklyn announced she's pregnant.
22
Yay With baby number two last week.
23
You can go watch that video if you want to.
24
Yeah, super cute precious precious video
25
But when we posted that obviously there were reactions because also
26
if you don't know me and Asa have been struggling with infertility
27
We're at like almost over a year
28
and a half right now of trying to have a baby unsuccessfully
29
and so we've been open about posting that and I think
30
that caused like a reaction which we anticipated would probably happen when we posted about Brooklyn being pregnant.
31
Yeah we knew.
32
We were fully aware there'd be like reactions.
33
If you guys go on the posts of Brooklyn announcing you'll see most of the comments are talking about me
34
and my feelings
35
and how it might make me feel like her being pregnant again with baby number two
36
and I think the most important thing that you guys hear from us is
37
that we obviously are fully aware
38
that this is not like a normal experience no like manual
39
on how to navigate identical twins one being able to get pregnant
40
and one being struggling there's no manual we're just humans
41
and sisters like trying to support each other through difficult and
42
or happy times and so my mom commented this and i stand by it like two things can be true.
43
You can be totally and fully, unexplisitly happy for Brooklyn and her pregnancies and also be sad for me.
44
And those two things can exist at the same time.
45
Like I do not feel like if you guys are congratulating Brooklyn
46
that you need to say you're also sad for me
47
because like I know you guys feel for me as well as celebrating her and they can exist at the same time.
48
Like we know that, my family feels that, we all feel that, so we know that you guys are going to feel
49
that so like two things can be true you can celebrate her
50
and be sad for me at the same time
51
and that's kind of the consensus of most of the comments like the people who are saying congratulations Brooklyn
52
and Bailey like thinking of you that is totally fine like we appreciate
53
that just the comments where it's starting to get a little hateful
54
or bitter towards Brooklyn is where I want to like address
55
and like talk about
56
and I told her I was like you have to be in this video
57
because I want it to come from both of us
58
I don't want it to just come from me like I want
59
you guys to see like we're fine we're happy like i'm okay like it's okay guys
60
so we're okay like it's all right yeah obviously i'm sad obviously
61
you guys know infertility is a hard thing to go through obviously
62
but i am not sad
63
that she's able to have a pregnancy i'm totally over the moon i get another niece
64
or nephew i get another baby to hold like
65
that is a reward to me and
66
if i can't have it then i want her to have it
67
and that is the end of that conversation
68
and obviously like from my perspective like my husband
69
and I had our son two years ago this is kind of the natural progression of our life
70
and what our life what we kind of want our life to look like um
71
and so but obviously there's also this complicated emotion with Bailey struggling to get pregnant
72
and not wanting to feel like we're overriding her life
73
or feel like we're you know not being sensitive towards her and everything she's going through so it's kind of like
74
Bailey said there's like both happening simultaneously and they can both be true
75
and they can both be fair yeah
76
and it's just navigating like how they happen
77
i just want her to have her moment with her pregnancy like i don't want
78
it to be about me that's not my desire i genuinely feel like kind of bad
79
that all the comments are talking about me even though i know
80
it's from a place of love like the thing is is like people probably think i'm like upset about it
81
but this is like we i could do about her and her baby and being happy
82
Yeah, everyone wants to be happy.
83
Because like if it was Bailey being pregnant, I would want her to feel special
84
and her to feel like everyone cares about her and loves her and is excited about the baby.
85
So I totally understand.
86
Like give her love.
87
By giving her love, you're not harming me.
88
You're not hurting me, I promise.
89
But also I do want to address
90
and like this is you're going to see like me
91
and Bailey come out for about five seconds and like I almost never come out.
92
But like if I see anybody being mean towards Brooklyn or towards this pregnancy, like I'm not talking like.
93
Oh, we love you, Bailey and Brooklyn.
94
No, not those comments.
95
Those comments are great.
96
It's the people who are saying that like her having a baby is selfish
97
or her having a baby is like intentionally hurting me
98
or going on her way to hurt me or whatever nonsense is being spewed on the internet.
99
Like I will come for you.
100
Do not wish ill on me or my baby. Do not.
101
Like you will seriously do not commentate on our page.
102
Do not bring that energy to our page.
103
You are not lifting me up by tearing her down during this pregnancy.
104
That is not how this works.
105
We are sisters.
106
You guys don't understand.
107
We are sisters first and foremost.
108
Bailey loves my children.
109
Her children are basically mine.
110
So by saying that, you are hurting me.
111
She feels maternal, guys.
112
Like, do not.
113
And if you do, your comment will be deleted and you will probably be blocked.
114
I'm just telling you now.
115
Like, do not send hate her way.
116
I will not stand for it.
117
You will see
118
Mean Bailey come out and you do not want to see
119
Mean Bailey come out.
120
So, like, keep those comments to yourself.
121
If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
122
Okay, I'm done with that.
123
The other thing we wanted to talk about that's been like totally taken out of context.
124
Oh, yeah.
125
And do you want to talk about this one?
126
Yeah.
127
In my announcement video, I mentioned how I had sat down
128
and had a conversation with Bailey before we even started trying for a second baby.
129
Wondering about Bailey and, you know, this whole process.
130
And before Dakota and I even started trying for another baby,
131
I sat down with her and made sure like that it was going to be okay, basically.
132
Somehow that got taken as I had to ask
133
Bailey's permission to have another baby, which is crazy
134
Let's just be so for real guys.
135
Nobody's ever asking anybody.
136
No, hey Can I actually go bang in the other room to make a baby like nobody's doing that?
137
No, I did not do that with Bailey I did not sit down and say like hey, can I have a baby?
138
No It was more just like a conversation of she has known since I had archer
139
that I wanted the specific age gap with my kids that this was like an ideal timeline for me.
140
So when it started to get close to that time, I came to her and I was like,
141
hey, so it's getting kind of close to this timeline with where you're at and where everything is.
142
I just want to make sure you're feeling okay.
143
Like this is something that we're going to be able to navigate, that it's not going to impact our relationship.
144
It was more of like a conversation of just respecting my feelings and like caring that I wasn't upset.
145
But it was not a conversation of like, there was no permission given.
146
It was just more like hey, this is what we're thinking want to give you a heads up.
147
Are you okay?
148
How are you and the other thing that I asked was how
149
if I am pregnant how involved do you want to be?
150
Like I want to respect you if it makes you really sad then I will not share anything with you
151
And if it doesn't make you really sad and you're really excited
152
Then I will share and if you want to know every second at every detail like i'm happy to do that,
153
too So there was also like that conversation.
154
I think people forget like we are sisters we are sisters before we are I've seen a few comments
155
that were like do you guys know like hello?
156
they're talking to each other
157
we talk to each other every day almost all day long having conversations you guys are never going to see
158
or hear or be a part of and just trust
159
that we are taking care of each other she's trying to
160
take care of my feelings as best as she can
161
while also being happy about her pregnancy it's actually kind of interesting
162
I think we both would say
163
this we have been each other's best support system right
164
it's like somehow we've been able to be like a support
165
system for each other even though we're like living these alternate realities sort of yes
166
i totally agree yeah like we're never gonna not support each other yeah
167
we don't secretly hate each other like we love each other
168
we want each other to feel the other thing i feel like i should bring up
169
that i think people are like forgetting that we did this but it bailey
170
Bailey and I both got our blood work done to check in on our fertility.
171
When was that?
172
Like, oh my gosh, a year or something, months ago.
173
Bailey got her blood work done and her AMH levels came back really low.
174
Which if you don't know what AMH is, it's basically a hormone that tests like your egg reserve.
175
Your egg reserve.
176
It's not an exact science, but basically it will tell you how many eggs you have left.
177
Yes.
178
Which is essentially telling you how long you're going to be fertile.
179
Yes.
180
And which essentially means like my egg reserve, like how many eggs I have.
181
And the scale of good is like two to four and I have 0 .5, which means I don't, I don't have very many eggs,
182
which is kind of a weird feeling to be told as a woman, like, you know, by the way, like clocks are ticking.
183
Again, it's not an exact science.
184
Things can change.
185
It can improve.
186
It's just a hormone.
187
But in the grand scheme of things, it essentially gave us an idea of how long we would be able to have kids.
188
Quote -unquote.
189
Bailey's came back low.
190
She wanted to see what mine was at.
191
So I went and got mine tested and mine came back even lower than Bailey's.
192
Yeah, ours were both pretty bad scores.
193
Yeah, they were not great.
194
Bailey's has improved though.
195
Mine has improved a little bit because I'm taking all of these things.
196
So I guess what I'm trying to say is like that I, while I'm able to get pregnant,
197
how long I will be able to get pregnant for
198
and like how many eggs I actually have that are going to be usable is not that long.
199
It's not super long.
200
So I also don't have the luxury of waiting, like extended periods of time to have kids
201
because then I might run into a situation where then I can't get pregnant anymore.
202
So I also want to just put that out there
203
that there's a reason that I'm doing things and timing the way the things are.
204
Yeah.
205
And like, and I, and so anyway, that is explaining partially some of my thought process.
206
Yeah.
207
Like we don't have a bajillion eggs.
208
Like we don't have a bajillion years.
209
And so obviously because her score is even worse than mine, it makes sense that they are going to have kids within a certain timeframe.
210
And that does not, what I'm going through does not change that timeline for them in any way
211
because it's like just as valid of a reason.
212
So there's that.
213
The other thing, because it's because we're now like addressing all the things.
214
The other thing that I've been seeing a lot of people comment about, and we've actually talked about this in past videos,
215
is there are a lot of people saying we could have avoided this
216
and we could have prevented these comments from happening if we got separate accounts because our lives do look different.
217
I'm going through infertility.
218
Brooklyn's obviously pregnant and already has Archer.
219
We have different marriages.
220
We live in different places we've talked about this before
221
but brooklyn and i have genuinely zero interest no interest in doing
222
that we don't zero want to separate it's part of what i think makes our account
223
so fun and special is
224
that you get two perspectives you get a dual perspective
225
it's like what makes us different from other people is like you can come to one place
226
and get two yes basically two creators
227
and you might like like what i'm you might like one twin more than the other
228
you might relate to one more than the other
229
but like that's the fun is you get both on one page
230
it also on the other hand helps out like obviously
231
we take care of each other yeah like she's on mat mat leave i'm posting still
232
and like when she's on vacation like i'm able to take step in like
233
so there's a lot of like work sharing as well as
234
like we just are both able to share our lives on one platform we've also always done it
235
that way so like we're not about the change now 14 years later yeah someone
236
Someone said they're not kids anymore.
237
They should get separate accounts.
238
I'm like, why does it have to be that way though?
239
No, we love sharing an account.
240
We're not planning on separating.
241
So you guys can just stop with those comments because it's not happening.
242
And I genuinely don't know if that would have prevented this scenario anyway.
243
It would have been posting on separate flowers.
244
I still think people would have left those comments on Brooklyn's house.
245
Yeah, I'm like, people still would have just come on and said that.
246
I just think that's the reality of the situation that we're in.
247
But we've addressed that before.
248
I wanted to address it again because we will not be separating accounts.
249
Oh, the other thing
250
that we need to talk about is next week
251
we are going to be posting the video where I tell all of my family that I'm pregnant.
252
And in that video, you're going to see me surprise
253
Bailey by saying I'm pregnant.
254
And we want to clarify.
255
She came to me before she even got pregnant and was like, do you want to be surprised?
256
Do you want me to like navigate this?
257
Because I was like, do you want me to video?
258
Or do you want me to not video at all?
259
Like what's how are you feeling about it?
260
And I me hear it for me I was the one that said yes.
261
I want to be surprised.
262
Yes.
263
I wanted to be on video I want
264
that memory for us I loved being able to go back
265
and watch it last time when she told us like that was my choice I made that choice for myself.
266
I'm the one going through infertility
267
So there is no reason anyone should have let me be up in arms about that
268
Because that was something that I said I wanted.
269
Yeah, so when when you watch that video do not think that I did that
270
Like I can already see the comments coming from a mile away.
271
So, I don't know, she rub it in her face like, no. No. I did not do that.
272
I wanted to be, I didn't want to lose that.
273
Like I don't want to lose the special part of like, just because I'm going through something that sucks,
274
like it already takes so much away from you.
275
I don't want to lose that part of it.
276
No, and at the end of the day, like what happens is I'm going to birth this baby and every,
277
you're going to be obsessed with it.
278
And then you might have regretted the fact that you didn't get that video.
279
Yes, exactly.
280
You know what I mean?
281
Like it's like it just happens that way.
282
So just for preface I was on the ask for it
283
So next week like go into that knowing that when we posted all across socials
284
There may be some people who didn't get this contacts who need to be reminded
285
This is what I asked for and like that's what I wanted.
286
Yeah, no As I'm like posting because I see a lot of people being like Brooklyn should keep her pregnancy low -key
287
So it doesn't like hurt
288
Bailey or whatever.
289
I'm like like
290
Bailey's also involved in all of the decision making I'm the one filming this.
291
I'm the one taking the pictures.
292
I want those pictures posted.
293
I just think across the board, the consensus of this video, and we almost never make videos like this,
294
but this one felt important to make because she's going to be pregnant for the next seven to eight months.
295
So I'm going to be pregnant for another six months.
296
Yes, six to seven months.
297
So I just want to end that conversation here.
298
When I post something about my infertility, We can talk about my infertility.
299
We can talk about how sad we are for me when she posts about her pregnancy
300
We can talk about how happy we are We can talk about her happiness and her pregnancy and her children.
301
And, like, we can experience both at the same time.
302
And we can be happy and sad at the same time.
303
Yeah, and we can both be simultaneously happy and sad.
304
Yeah, that's it.
305
But not hate each other.
306
But not hate each other and still love each other and still be sisters.
307
Anyway, we love you guys.
308
And that's on maturity.
309
That's on aging.
310
No, we are honestly so grateful.
311
Obviously, there was a ton of love for Brooklyn.
312
I'm so grateful for that.
313
We're grateful for that.
314
We're grateful for you guys.
315
Thanks for tuning in.
316
We can't wait to post all the stuff about Brooklyn's pregnancy.
317
I can't wait until it's my turn eventually one day.
318
And we will see you guys next week.
319
Bye.
320
Bye.

- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hormone /ˈhoɹmoʊn/, harm /hɑːm/, happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, hateful /ˈheɪtfəl/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: egg /ɛɡ/, navigate /ˈnæv.ɪ.ɡeɪt/, announce /əˈnaʊn(t)s/, announcement /əˈnaʊns.mənt/, consensus /kənˈsɛnsəs/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: navigate /ˈnæv.ɪ.ɡeɪt/, manual /ˈmæn.j(u)əl/, happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, valid /ˈvælɪd/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
