After such a long journey in the NICU, it’s so nice to be home, but we constantly have doctor appointments. Today, Miss Ella had her first follow-up appointment at Sick Kids’ neurosurgery department. After her brain damage and subsequent swelling, there was discussion about her having surgery or a shunt put in to drain excess […]
I have a confession to make; I used to like Jenny McCarthy. I found her sassy and sarcastic and actually laughed out loud when I read her book about pregnancy. Then, she turned the corner to crazy land and I lost any respect I had for her. Yes, it is hard to have a child […]
Nothing seems to come around faster than a birthday. It feels like you just finish the whole getting older spectacle when you’re expected to do it over again. Yesterday, I turned 30. Yes, 30. I know, I am one of those mums you point out at the mall with a neverending parade of young children. […]
Wow, so hard to believe that almost the first third of the girls’ first year is done! What an amazing adventure we’ve been on in just 100 days. The past couple days have been super cold and gross so we’ve mostly been bumming around at home, which is fine. Buds’ last day at daycare is […]
I can’t imagine that upon seeing the two lines – pregnant!- anyone is hoping for a high risk pregnancy. The excitement and nervousness quickly turns to anxiety, fear, and the unknown. When we found out we were pregnant again, we never imagined the journey we were about to take. Dr. Hui discovered the twins, and […]
I could not be more thankful that the sun is shining – finally! What a difference it makes being able to head outside with the girls. Almost every day this week I’ve loaded up the stroller and gone for a walk. Usually, we just run errands (stamp buying time, yay!), but today we went out […]
Wow, three months and our first update at home! The girls are three months actual age today, and 18 days corrected, so they’re acting like two newborns. We’ve mostly spent our time at home getting to know each other, and you know, not sleeping. But we’ve had fun too. The girls have already been to […]
Remember when you were a teenager and getting up early was any time before 11 AM? How I miss those days; wrapping myself in the covers like a cinnabon bun, oblivious to the outside world. Jas and I were spoiled with Buds. He slept through the night at two weeks old. Nope, not kidding. That […]
When I was pregnant with Buds, we registered for a Bjorn because I figured it was the easiest way to walk the dog since we were living in a high-rise and I didn’t want to deal with a dog and the stroller. At the time, I had no idea that there was a whole baby […]
