I could not be more thankful that the sun is shining – finally! What a difference it makes being able to head outside with the girls. Almost every day this week I’ve loaded up the stroller and gone for a walk. Usually, we just run errands (stamp buying time, yay!), but today we went out […]
Wow, three months and our first update at home! The girls are three months actual age today, and 18 days corrected, so they’re acting like two newborns. We’ve mostly spent our time at home getting to know each other, and you know, not sleeping. But we’ve had fun too. The girls have already been to […]
Despite knowing the girls would be born early, I had no idea how hard it would be. I really thought they would just be little and would just need time to grow. Now, when I look back at where we started, it seems like it was so long ago. Ella in particular has come so […]
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 […]
It has only been five days since I was admitted to the hospital. I say only lightly as it easily feels like 100. I wonder how long it takes being stuck inside before someone actually loses it. I am in no way an outdoorsy person, and God knows I hate the cold, but what I […]
The one thing I will say about my constant ultrasounds and monitoring is that I’ve really started to see distinct personalities emerging from my wee cantaloupes. Buds had a personality in utero that included constant kicking, dancing to music, and becoming really excited whenever I had fruit. All of those things are still true now as […]
Jas came to visit me and took his job helping to keep the babies’ heartbeats monitored VERY seriously. They seem to behave best when Daddy’s around, which just isn’t fair. Jas brought Buds today and he helped to smooth the monitor on my belly and even held my hand. Having my boys visit definitely helps […]
When we first found out I was pregnant, I quickly did some calculations and realized I’d be due in March. I daydreamed about hosting my first Christmas after moving from our tiny apartment, with an ever-expanding belly, having lots of time to explain to Buds what was happening, time to decorate a new nursery, and […]
This is how I spend a good portion of my day, monitoring the babies’ heartbeats!
If you’re like me, you had no idea that twins went much beyond identical and fraternal. Since we have not a one set of twins in my family, I didn’t really ever think about it. Turns out that there’s four levels of twins and as they move up a level, the more risky the pregnancy. […]
