Two months! I can’t believe we’re already into March (despite the massive amounts of snow still on the ground) and how much my girls have grown. Sometimes it feels like only yesterday that the girls were born and we got to meet them, and other times it feels like so long ago. Two months of […]
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, […]
Ah, another week has flown by! The girls continue to amaze me with how big they are. Ella is now 5 pounds, 8 ounces and Raegan is not far behind, at just slightly over 5 pounds, 2 ounces. They’ll be 37 weeks gestational age Thursday and inching closer to coming home. This week both girls […]
You do a lot of waiting when you’re pregnant; waiting to tell people, waiting to find out the baby’s sex, waiting to meet them, and, of course, all that waiting for doctors appointments. Normally, that waiting pays off when you finally meet your new love and get to take them home and snuggle them whenever […]
Wow, six weeks have flown by and our girls have come so far. It’s so hard to believe that the same little girl who struggled so much in the beginning is now leading the pack. Ella has been doing so well this week, and just moved into a crib! Not only is it amazing how […]
I wish I were one of those people who dealt with stress by not eating. The ones who lose a dress size every time they’re worried, in other words, the people everybody hates. Instead, I find myself unable to stop stuffing my face. When I’m with the girls, I feel calm and, well, like a […]
We all know by now my love-hate (let’s be honest, it’s all hate) relationship with my pump, but last week I started breastfeeding the girls. Mostly, it’s just for practice as the girls aren’t quite 35 weeks, but they’re on the boob and it’s better than being attached to a machine. Let me tell you, […]
Jas came to visit yesterday and held both girls for the first time. The little ladies were dressed for the occasion, wearing some of the NICU’s outfits. Jason had one girl on each side, and looked only slightly terrified! Ella stayed awake for the whole cuddle, often expressing herself with a bit of a wail, […]
One month already, and getting big! Both girls have gained weight, Ella is now just shy of four pounds, weighing 3 pounds, 15 ounces and Raegan is coming in at 3 pounds, 9 ounces. Both girls are looking bigger and brighter, though they’re still teeny tiny. Ella proves herself to be quite the fighter, […]
