“I think that being a mother of twins, I never have had a singleton, so I don’t know what that’s like," she explained to PEOPLE. “But I know that the sleepless nights are hard and when you have one that might sleep through the night, the other one’s not, so it’s kind of this trade-off every night.”

“But I know this is also a season, and it too will pass, and I try and remind myself that there’s going to be a day when I’m like, ‘Oh, I’d love to wake up right now and just hold you.’ So just trying and hold on to that.”

She also shared that she’s looking forward to the next challenge in her twins' lives. “Well, they’re only crawling, so it’s not like we’re out of control or anything,” she told PEOPLE.
