I recently joined some online support groups for parents of mono mono twins. I probably should have joined while I was still pregnant, but never really thought about it. Recently, I was perusing through facebook when I saw some mums had posted pictures of their mono mono twins’ cords; bloody, tangled, and often knotted. My […]
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 Ella’s head injury […]
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 […]
So today I was selfish. I’m almost never selfish, the kids always come first, but after five weeks of not sleeping, and a big birthday, today, I indulged. I left the diaper bag at home, grabbed the Coach purse I always get compliments on, and went to do my nails and get my hair cut. […]
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. […]
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 […]
We’re literally counting down the days until our baby girls are home with us (there’s been whispers of it being this week) and we just have so much last-minute stuff to do. This weekend, Jas and I left Braeden with my parents so that we could visit the girls and then head out to grab […]
