In April 2021, during her pregnancy with the twins,Graham opened up to PEOPLEabout letting go of the control she used to have over her body.

“I tried to control everything when I was pregnant with Isaac and I told myself that I was going to bounce right back because I was breastfeeding and everybody told me, ‘Oh, if you breastfeed you’re going to lose all the weight,’ " Graham said at the time. “And I had a few honest women tell me you will never feel the same. So they were just blunt with me and sure enough, I haven’t felt the same.”

Nearly one month after she announced the birth of her twin boys,she expressedthat they were the “greatest teachers.”

Shewrote in a Instagram post: “Malachi & Roman 🤍 my boys have been the greatest teachers and biggest reminders that I can do hard things. this has not been easy, but it’s so worth it. still can’t believe I have 3 children 🤯 can’t wait to share my birth & postpartum journey with you all soon ❤️.”

After the birth of her twins, sheshared with PEOPLEin April that she “didn’t realize how ugly and hardpostpartum life” is but is learning to be patient with her journey as well as with the “loud organized chaos” of having three kids.

She said: “Even in the midst of the crying, and the poop, and the vomit and the engorged breasts, and the hair loss, and my ever-changing body. Me, Justin, Isaac, Roman, Malachi — we’re all hanging out in the living room, and we look at each other, Justin and I. We’re like, ‘Oh my God, we have three amazing kids,’ and here we are, we’re laughing and dancing. It’s so much fun. I feel like my home is so full of love, and it’s because of my awesome kids and my great husband, truly.”
