00:00This gave birth to my third set of twins, and no, I will not get my teeth stuck.
00:03Ready to see sets of twins? K.O.
00:08I don't know how we do this.
00:09Watch out.
00:10Watch out.
00:11People say that I should sue my husband, and I shouldn't have let him do this to me.
00:15You made this decision completely optional, just letting it happen.
00:20My sister is visiting today. She was worried before about me having so many twins.
00:23Maybe she still is.
00:24Starting over with two newborns, why do you want to do it? For what?
00:28Good morning.
00:30Here is two newest members of my family.
00:35This is Madison, sweet baby.
00:38And then this is Carson.
00:40They are officially two months today.
00:45I always match Madison and Carson because having twins, like, I feel like that's like the main thing is you
00:51want to match them.
00:52My name is Leah.
00:53My name is Q.
00:54And we have six kids together.
00:56And they're all twins.
00:58The house is wild, but we love it.
01:01This is my oldest boy, Major.
01:03Oldest daughter, Milan.
01:06Kennedy, she's hiding.
01:07Middle.
01:07She's shy.
01:08This is my middle daughter.
01:10This is Caleb, the youngest boy.
01:13Caleb, say hi.
01:14Look.
01:14Say hi.
01:16Who's twins with who?
01:18Milan's my twin.
01:19Who's your twin?
01:20Caleb.
01:21Do your parents ever mix you guys up, call you the wrong name?
01:24Yes.
01:24My mom says, what's your name?
01:26What's your name?
01:27Yes, I do that.
01:28That's all she says.
01:29You don't know my name.
01:30Yes, I do.
01:32You only know a little.
01:34There's so many of you guys.
01:35What are my initials?
01:37What are my initials?
01:38What are my initials?
01:39What are my initials?
01:40You tell me.
01:41I was 22 years old when I got pregnant with our first set of twins.
01:46I was super excited, and then once we realized it was boy and girl, I was even more excited
01:50because I was like one and done.
01:52We got our boy, we got our girl, now we're all set.
01:54We found out about our second set of twins, February 2019.
01:58Went to the doctor.
01:59They told us it was two babies again.
02:02I was excited, to be honest.
02:04He on the other hand was like, wait a minute.
02:06You know, you start thinking about finances and we got to buy two of everything again.
02:11Maybe we should have saved some things from the previous, you know, situation,
02:15but who could anticipate having two sets of twins?
02:17Four babies, two and a hundred, all at once.
02:20Both Major and Milan, first set, and then Kenny and Caleb, the middle set,
02:25they both have the same birthday, two years apart.
02:28So that was crazy, to be honest.
02:30My family was like, oh my gosh, what are you going to do?
02:33That's going to be expensive.
02:34One wants Elsa, one wants Frozen, one wants Spider-Man, so it's going to be tricky.
02:40I want to go to Hawaii on my birthday.
02:42One wants to go to Hawaii.
02:43So how was the feeling when you found out about the third pregnancy and third set of twins?
02:48I cried for days because I was nervous.
02:50I didn't know, you know, what life would look like.
02:54Is it tiring having six kids, three sets of twins?
02:57It is definitely tiring having three sets of twins, darn right now.
03:03So routine is how we try to stay in control and try to
03:06keep the house as less chaotic as possible, I should say.
03:09It's really trial and error, you know, see what works, what doesn't.
03:14For me, the biggest challenge having two sets of twins is automatically want to compare them.
03:19You automatically want to make them the same.
03:23That's just not, you know, how it works.
03:25They really are their own individual person.
03:28What works for one doesn't work for the other.
03:30Do y'all want to do a TikTok?
03:31Yeah!
03:32You want to do a TikTok?
03:33Yes!
03:33Really? Okay.
03:35Yes!
03:36But let's do it in the living room.
03:37This is going to be our first TikTok with all of you guys, including the baby.
03:41We are the Christ!
03:44So when and why did you start posting on social media about your family?
03:48I started posting when I was pregnant with my third set of twins.
03:52It helped me move some stuff out the way so we can have a clear little space.
03:55I was looking on TikTok and there was no one on any platform that I could watch and like
04:02learn from and get advice from and relate to.
04:06So I felt like I can be someone for someone else that I didn't have.
04:10This is my baby bag, freedom mom breastfeeding kit.
04:14Can you tell us about Caleb's diagnosis?
04:17Caleb being diagnosed with autism was extremely scary.
04:21We didn't know what to expect.
04:22We didn't know what we were doing.
04:24And we found out kind of late.
04:27So for a while, it kind of felt like maybe we had failed him.
04:30Because we didn't know.
04:32But Caleb's not going to do that!
04:35Yes, he is.
04:36Stop saying that.
04:36You have to have faith in him.
04:37The most difficult part is the other children understanding that Caleb is different.
04:44They understand, but they're kids.
04:46So they still want attention.
04:48They still want love.
04:49They still want, you know, one kid asks for a hug and then the next three kids line up
04:54because they want to hug also.
04:55So you do get worn out sometimes.
04:57Close your eyes.
04:59Ready?
04:59On the count of three, I want you to raise one hand.
05:03One, two, three.
05:07Okay.
05:08With our son having autism, finding out about the third pregnancy,
05:11I didn't know, you know, if that was something that we could handle as a family,
05:15adding two more babies to the equation.
05:18I was definitely more scared third pregnancy than the other two.
05:22I think I had more fear with this latest pregnancy being natural than I did the first two being
05:28C-sections.
05:28Giving birth to twins is no joke.
05:31It's a huge risk.
05:32Three sets of twins took a major toll on my body.
05:35First two pregnancies, I had a C-section, so it was really hard.
05:39Weeks and weeks and weeks for recovery.
05:41For the third pregnancy, I decided to have a natural birth.
05:44One midwife said to me, if you've never given birth naturally, then your body won't know what to do.
05:51And I thought that was crazy that she said that because I'm a woman.
05:54That's the one thing that I was born to do was have babies.
05:57I felt like they were trying to convince me that I couldn't do it,
06:01which made me feel more like, no, I'm going to tell them, I'm going to prove to them that I
06:04can.
06:05It went smooth.
06:06They were born 544 and 548, so four minutes apart.
06:10You done working out?
06:12What you doing?
06:13It was tiring.
06:14I'm looking at TikToks, a bunch of TikToks in the comments.
06:18This is the video of me in the doctor's office complaining when they asked, how am I doing?
06:24What kind of responses do you get online?
06:26Girl, like, you did it again?
06:29Again?
06:29You know, you can stop at any point in time.
06:31You can say no.
06:32Some people were like, this is the exact reason why I got my tubes tied.
06:36Went from zero to six a little too fast.
06:39Someone else said, oh, hell no.
06:40Call the police immediately.
06:41Girl, sue your husband at this point.
06:44You made this decision completely optional, just letting it happen.
06:48People are so judgmental, telling me to get my tubes tied.
06:52Like, they pay our bills or, like, they take care of our kids.
06:56Q, how do you feel about people saying she should sue you?
06:59I think it's kind of funny.
07:00The judgment that we get online, I could care less.
07:04I could care less.
07:06It's not, the judgment is not paying our bills.
07:09It's not putting food in our mouths.
07:11It's not, we're, we're doing well.
07:13We're doing good.
07:14Some positive comments we've gotten.
07:16That's a strong woman sending you and your family blessings.
07:19You're so considerate getting each one of your babies a personal friend for life.
07:23And that is true.
07:25I tell my family all the time, we are the party.
07:27It's enough of us, it's enough of them, to wear it with, they don't need anybody else.
07:31My sister is visiting today.
07:32She was worried before about me having so many twins.
07:35Maybe she still is.
07:38Hey girl.
07:39Hey.
07:39Come in.
07:40What was you doing?
07:43Nothing much.
07:44So how are you?
07:45Girl, same old, same old.
07:47I'm doing good, but man.
07:49My sister is big on like mental health.
07:52A lot of moms go through it postpartum and I did.
07:54I went through it.
07:54The first set of twins and the second set of twins.
07:57So I think that was a huge concern for my sisters.
08:00You know, it was like, girl, you're starting over.
08:02Like, are you sure?
08:03So how do you think you and Q are coping with three sets of twins now?
08:08We got our good days and our bad days.
08:10I'm not going to lie.
08:10I'm just learning that men can go through postpartum too.
08:13I'm like, you didn't care these babies I did.
08:16You know?
08:16And I'm like, you don't get it.
08:18You will never get it.
08:19But he gets it a little bit.
08:21He does.
08:22I just feel like when I told you I was pregnant and then when you found that it was twins.
08:26I was super excited because we don't have any twins in our family.
08:29So I was excited.
08:32I still am excited, but I was shocked the third time.
08:37So, real talk.
08:39Are you having more kids?
08:40Like, what's going on?
08:42Girl, no.
08:43Okay.
08:44Straight face, no.
08:45It ain't happening.
08:45Because I can't.
08:46I mean, I can.
08:47Yeah.
08:48But I will not.
08:49But I can't.
08:50How many bedrooms is that?
08:51No.
08:52The car?
08:52The car, girl.
08:53If I had more kids, girl, I'll be driving a bus.
08:57A bus.
08:58I'm not driving a bus.
08:59It's kind of happening.
09:01Nope.
09:01Nope.
09:02Six is my limit.
09:05What do you guys love about being parents to six kids, three sets of twins?
09:09Every day is different.
09:10Dealing with six different personalities, six different challenges, and six different rewards.
09:14We are a little stressed, but mainly blessed.
09:18And this is nothing that we cannot handle.
09:21To the people who would feel sorry for us, don't.
09:25I would feel more sorry for you that you're not in my position versus me being in yours.
09:29Hello.
09:30Hello.
09:31Hello.
