Buds is not your typical two year old in many ways. For one thing, he’s a chatterbox and almost never stops talking. He tells stories, but mostly he wants to know about everything. We went to the museum and he wanted to know the names of all the dinosaurs. He loved learning about hieroglyphs and […]
We’re back from our whirlwind adventure to Chicago and managed to all survive the trip! We were gone five days, but with a full day of driving there and a full day back, we had to cram lots of fun into only three days. We really approached the drive with no expectations. The drive from […]
We’re pretty lucky seeing as my bestie’s mum is a fabulous photographer who would probably kill me if I allowed anyone else to photograph my children. She’s taken maternity shots for us during both pregnancies and did Braeden’s first birthday shots, which are all incredible. Last month, we grabbed all the kids and pretended to […]
In so many first time posts from new Momo mamas, they’re asking for assurances, asking those of us who have been there to tell them it will all be ok. Of course, we can’t, but I think there are some things I can say. Dear Mama, You have just been given the greatest news; you’re […]
I think I am so lucky to have had a wonderful birth experience before the girls’ c-section for so many reasons. One of my dear friends went into labour Thursday and we were messaging each other back and forth as her labour progressed and it brought so many memories back to my birth with the […]
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 […]
I doubt there is a single parent out there who appreciates the unsolicited baby advice that gets flung their way. One of my favourite stories was the time Buds was around 14 months and we were quickly grabbing a few things in the grocery store before heading to dinner with a friend. Upon seeing Braeden’s […]
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 […]
I recently saw a post on BabyCenter that was about your parenting style based on whether or not you found out your baby’s sex while pregnant. Curious, I clicked through and had to roll my eyes. The blog was about a study that had been completed with women who found out their baby’s sex and […]
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 […]
