To most people, 29 weeks doesn’t mean much. More than six months but less than a year, it actually seems kind of arbitrary. Of course, for us, 29 weeks is ever present in our lives. Our girls were born at 29 weeks, 5 days gestation, so close to our 32 week expectation and nowhere near […]
What a difference a year makes. This time last year we were just figuring out that I was pregnant. Of course, at that time we had no idea the journey we were in for. Little did we know that I was pregnant with twins, let alone mono mono twins. We had no idea our next […]
Today officially marks the girls’ 160th day of life, and after spending 80 days in the NICU, the girls have been home 80 days. For every day that a nurse took care of our girls, I have taken care of them. For every surgery, blood transfusion, and head ultrasound that Ella received, my girls have […]
While I’m thrilled to be so close to such an amazing hospital as Sick Kids, I found myself getting anxious with every step as I got closer to the front door this morning for Ella’s appointments. As I pushed her through the doors and wove my way through the halls to ultrasound, I realized how […]
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 […]
Aside from May 4th being Star Wars day, it’s also Parent of Preemie Day. Now, it seems like every day is National day of something, but today hits home as a Mama of preemie girls. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 117 days since our girls were born 11 weeks early. We’ve come so […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
