Tonight I literally took the plunge back into losing weight and headed over to the pool for laps. For my second pregnancy, I had daydreamed of being super in shape by swimming and doing yoga and looking super cute -only growing a belly and getting to wear non-maternity clothes, while people expressed how awesome I […]
Recently on one of the mono mono facebook support groups, a member posted that she was leaving the group as she had lost her twins and reading members’ comments and complaining about inpatient care made her feel like everyone was ungrateful for the experience and the lives of their twins. While I cannot imagine what […]
We recently headed to the park as a family, and as Jason and Braeden ran around on the playground, I chatted with another mum. This was already a big deal for me, as I usually tend to keep to myself. Jason is always on me to put myself out there and make friends, but in […]
This is officially my 100th blog post! I originally started this blog upon my inpatient stay as a way to quickly disseminate information to friends and family and to pass the time. I never imagined that the blog would speak to others who didn’t already know me. The response to this blog, and to certain […]
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 […]
Except for a few middle of the night fire alarms, I haven’t left the house without a full made up face since I was about 12. I’m definitely not an au naturel girl, but not a MAC artist either. When Buds was born, I had no problem showering or getting ready because he was always […]
After Braeden was born, I hated the way I looked. None of my clothes fit properly and I hated seeing myself in pictures because of how I looked. After feeling terrible about myself, I joined Weight Watchers and did fabulously; I lost 57 pounds and felt awesome and looked pretty dang good. Then I went […]
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 […]
Mother’s Day is usually filled with people buying cards and flowers and tends to bring on sappy commercials that make moms cry. But, aside from the gifts and the extra shout outs on Facebook, it really should be a day for us mums to reflect too. Being a mum is hard, damn hard. Whether you […]
