Sometimes I feel bad for the girls being simultaneously the second and third child. When I was pregnant with Buds, I kept a scrapbook with all the special things I did when I was pregnant and kept it going after he was born; creating scrapbook pages for each month, keeping track of every new experience.

Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada. Since I lived in America for so long, I used to celebrate both Thanksgivings, and both had different feelings for me. Canadian Thanksgiving always reminded me of home and family, and mmm sweet potato mash. American Thanksgiving was always the beginning of the holidays and I still put […]
The other day, I was chatting with another mum about the girls. I shared a little of our story and she asked how long the girls had spent in the NICU. I responded, “80 days.” She laughed, “Not that you were counting!” I did not laugh or return her smirk because, of course I counted […]
Well, nine months. Nine whole months of having two sweet baby girls as part of our family. I can’t believe that so soon it will be their first Christmas and then first birthdays! Of course, the girls are about six and a half months corrected, but I have to say, they’re doing phenomenally. Raegan is […]
You know how some days just start off the wrong way and then spiral downward from there? I guess my bad day technically started last night when in the span of thirty minutes I smashed my toe twice on the clunkiest furniture we have, resulting in a sore, swollen, and purple digit. So when I […]
Since Buds was born, I’ve been a lot of different type of mums; first time mom, stay at home mom, working mom, pregnant mom, twin mom, preemie mom, and mom of three. Now, I am really starting to think about being a special needs mom. I guess I’ve technically been a special needs mom since […]
Every article, post, and doctor tells you not to compare babies. Of course, it’s inevitable as conversations constantly find their way back to whose baby is doing what. Everything from rolling over to starting solids and walking is analyzed to figure out if your baby is behind. Developmental milestones are there to both assure and […]
My last Twiniversity blog was about giving Buds attention after the girls came home. It wasn’t meant to be a sob story about having three kids, it was more of a reminder of how important it is to ensure that all your kids, no matter how many you have, know that they are loved and […]
Buds is not your typical two year old in many ways. For one thing, he’s a chatterbox and almost never stops talking. He tells stories, but mostly he wants to know about everything. We went to the museum and he wanted to know the names of all the dinosaurs. He loved learning about hieroglyphs and […]
At the beginning, it was a struggle for me to handle all three kids by myself and make sure that they all got attention, especially Buds. I found ways to incorporate him into our daily routine based on the things he loves. In the end, I don’t want regrets when it comes to my kids, […]
