There’s been a bunch of articles and blogs lately talking about not sharing pictures of your kids on social media. Some believe that this takes away your kid’s privacy, while others argue that in the future, their job interviewer will be able to pull up baby pictures of them in the bath. While I understand […]
Yesterday, I went into a store, and upon seeing I had twins, a woman immediately asked me if I had seen the picture of the twins born holding hands. I told her I had, and that my girls are mono mono too. “Oh!” she said, “wasn’t that so sweet?” Yes, it is sweet, and that […]
I’m not totally sure why as women start to grow a baby belly, every stranger in the world has an opinion to share. Forget about when the actual baby is born and you cannot get five feet without someone telling you what your baby wants or needs. I accepted that with my son, and mastered […]
Not to make myself sound like an old lady, but honestly, you blink and the next thing you know, your kids have grown so much and you’re left wondering where the time has gone. The girls are officially four months old, seven weeks corrected. Ella is a bit over ten pounds and Raegan is nine […]
Today the girls had their first post-NICU follow-up at Sunnybrook. It was mixed emotions going back, part of me felt happy to see people who were practically family for our stay in the hospital, and the other part anxious heading back to a place that holds so many memories and emotions.

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 […]
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 […]
