80 days. It took 80 days, but our girls are finally home! We just tucked them into their new beds and we’re all being serenaded by the river setting on our sleep sheep. What a surreal moment. It seems obvious that when you have a baby, you bring them home, but after so long, it […]
We are finally ready to start making our journey home to be with our Mama and Daddy and to meet our big brother Braeden! We also can’t wait to see Twix for the first time, she apparently looks like a lion, whatever that is. We know that there are so many people looking forward to […]
So, I admit that it took me a long time to get their room ready, but it’s been a bit nutty! I have hopes for more pictures to go on the walls, but I’d say it’s not too bad for two sweet girls. Naturally, I used our wedding colours of purple and gray for the […]
For most parents, the due date is an exciting time; trying to prepare for the unknown, and daydreaming about what your baby will be like. But, say due date to NICU parents, and it cuts through them like a knife. When I first found out my due date, before I knew we were having twins, […]
It’s pretty easy to focus on the future, as in the future the girls are home, and we’re a family, whereas in the present, I’m fractured, part of me is at the hospital with the girls, and part of me is at home. The future is, however, uncertain. With all children, we want the best […]
I recently posted a link to an article on facebook about one woman’s view of her c sections, as did several others I know. The reactions were interesting as mamas agreed and disagreed and mamas-to-be became nervous. As someone who has had both a natural birth and a section, I think it’s interesting to compare […]
There are a number of different type of NICU families; the micro-preemie families, families of multiples, preemie families, full-term families who will only spend a night or two, and families with other children. We fall into a couple different groups, but the hardest for me is being part of the group with other children. Buds […]
It is now officially March, and we’re inching towards our due date. So close, in fact, that it just hit me in the face, much like the smell of pee hits you when you walk into the subway. Due date means home. So, I guess we should get ready to bring two new babies home, […]
Two years ago, I felt my first contraction. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a false contraction and a real one until I felt it, and then I knew. I wasn’t scared, just more nervous since I didn’t know what to expect, but, mostly, excited to meet my […]
The girls may be identical, but they have their own personalities and unique quirks. Lately when I have been kangaroo holding the girls, Ella has fallen asleep while Raegan and I have hung out, but today they switched it up with Miss Raegan quickly falling asleep, mouth open and everything, while Miss Ella was wide-eyed […]
