Pictures of your baby make me sad

Go on any type of social media for five minutes and you’ll be bombarded with pictures of babies at all ages and stages of development.  Our kids are our pride and joy and we love to show them off. I am no exception to this and love to see squishy baby photos, especially babies that […]

My Non-Identical Identical Twins – Twiniversity

I’m a member of my local twins group and it’s fantastic for most twin related needs, except for what it’s like to have one twin develop at a typical rate and the other to be behind. My NICU and preemie groups are mostly full of singleton parents, and the twins that are parts of those […]

We’re 13 months old!

Thirteen months! Next month the girls will be at their corrected one year, which is hard to believe though they seem to change every day. Raegan is 18 pounds and 28 inches long and has six teeth (the top front four and bottom two) and is getting more. Those canines are definitely getting ready to […]

We’re one year old!

Wow, one year! I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by and how long ago their births seem. The girls are only nine months corrected so I decided to forego a big first birthday bash and instead keep it simple with just dinner and cupcakes tonight. My plan is to celebrate their one […]

She works hard for her Cheerios

I would guess that most parents take “normal” baby things for granted. It’s expected that your baby will not only meet developmental milestones, but will exceed at them and every parent hopes that their baby is the first to do everything.  Raegan is surpassing her brother’s milestones and is closer in development to her actual […]

We’re eleven months old!

Eleven months! This is officially the last month before the girls turn one. Sniff. Don’t mind me, just trying to figure out where this year has gone. What a difference a month has made for Raegan in particular. In just one month, she got four teeth, is officially crawling,  sits up more on her own […]

We’re ten months old!

Ten months and the countdown to their first birthdays is officially on. Sigh. What a year it’s been and it is flying by at incredible speeds. At their last appointment,  Raegan weighed 16 pounds and Ella 16 and a half pounds, though they feel so different in terms of weight.  I swear Ella keeps that […]

We’re 9 months old!

Well, nine months. Nine whole months of having two sweet baby girls as part of our family. I can’t believe that so soon it will be their first Christmas and then first birthdays! Of course, the girls are about six and a half months corrected, but I have to say,  they’re doing phenomenally. Raegan is […]

No comparison needed

Every article, post, and doctor tells you not to compare babies. Of course, it’s inevitable as conversations constantly find their way back to whose baby is doing what. Everything from rolling over to starting solids and walking is analyzed to figure out if your baby is behind. Developmental milestones are there to both assure and […]

We’re eight months old!

Eight months! I just realized that at some point soon I need to think about the girls’ first Christmas and birthdays. At five and a half months corrected, the girls weigh around 15 pounds and are wearing six month size clothing. I’ve had to box up even more clothes that they just keep outgrowing. Miss […]
