Having a toddler and a baby is hard, let alone having two babies. It’s almost impossible to ensure that everyone gets equal attention. It was natural that Jason and Buds hung out together while I took care of the girls; the two of them are like two peas in a pod, and Jason really does […]
Within weeks, if not days, of pushing out your first kid, you’re inevitably bombarded with people asking when you’re going to have the next one. Most new mums become like deer in the headlights as they’re just trying to survive their first, let alone plan for any additional bundles of joy. But, having twins seems […]
My love of writing initially lead me to start this blog. I’m not a big talker, and writing has always been easier. I love sharing my adventures with you, and airing my frustrations as I navigate mamahood. In my constant quest for putting myself out there via my writing, I have started blogging for Twiniversity.

Today I ran into the bank, which in and of itself is weird as I usually try to do the whole ATM thing as much as possible. Standing in line, I noticed that there were posters on the wall and one teeny, tiny diaper. Of course, I know that diaper well, it’s the micro-preemie one […]
Today officially marks the girls’ 160th day of life, and after spending 80 days in the NICU, the girls have been home 80 days. For every day that a nurse took care of our girls, I have taken care of them. For every surgery, blood transfusion, and head ultrasound that Ella received, my girls have […]
Five months! Where has the time gone? Next month is half a year already! The girls are 11 weeks corrected, which means soon we’ll be out of the fourth trimester/newborn stage and moving into infancy! They’re already interested in so much, and I love watching them see things for the first time. The girls continue […]
As someone who used to live in Chicago, I have often thought about what it would be like if I had had my girls in America, instead of Canada. For one thing, I’d be broke. Unless I had killer health insurance, my three week semi-private stay and the weekly doctor visits, ultrasounds, and specialist’s appointments […]
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 […]
While I’m thrilled to be so close to such an amazing hospital as Sick Kids, I found myself getting anxious with every step as I got closer to the front door this morning for Ella’s appointments. As I pushed her through the doors and wove my way through the halls to ultrasound, I realized how […]
