I’m sitting in the same place I’ve sat many times before; the hospital cafeteria. One floor below me, Ella is laying in a giant MRI machine that is capturing pictures of her brain. Her second time, and though I know the routine and what to expect, watching your baby fight the mask meant to put […]
20 months! In just 4 short months, the girls will be turning two, and that I cannot believe. This month has been crazy; so much has changed in such a short time. The girls fully transitioned to daycare and are doing well. Ella napped at school two days last week while Raegan decided to stand […]
In probably one of my most personal blogs for Twiniversity, I open up about my marriage and separation. Since writing this piece, we have begun to figure out how to parent together, though separated. It’s not easy and especially not with two kids who are all about their dad. I swear Raegan’s favourite word is […]
The girls recently started transitioning to daycare, with today being their official first day. It’s been going well thanks to our amazing nanny who stays with them and is so great with the girls, and especially Ella. The girls’ school is not yet accessible and I don’t think there’s ever been a child with different […]
Do you ever have those moments, usually in the midst of chaos, where you just suddenly realize that you have absolutely no idea what you are doing? It’s as if you are no longer an adult, capable of making decisions, but more like a child trying to navigate an insanely huge world. I’ve had that […]
We all know not to judge a book by its cover, but who doesn’t really? If the cover isn’t appealing to you, why would you even bother picking it up? People are the same way; we’re attracted or turned off by what we see, but sometimes we miss out on some truly amazing people because […]
I cannot believe that it’s been six weeks since I started my first round of the 21 day fix. The time has flown by, and by default, so has the summer. Soon, it will be September and that’s crazy! What a whirlwind year. I also can’t believe that I’m heading into my third round of […]
19 months! So hard to believe that every day the girls are getting closer and closer to two, though right now they’re only 16 months corrected. The girls are starting daycare in September and will start transitioning soon. What an adjustment that will be in so many ways! Ella is reaching more and further away […]
The other day one of my co-workers and I were chatting and they said something I’ve heard countless times since the girls’ births at 29 weeks, “I don’t know how you do it.” Every time someone says this to me, I’m unsure how to respond. The truth is, I don’t really know, either. I definitely […]
Depending on where you live, your local playground might feature some adapted equipment, most likely a swing. Our playground across the street was recently updated to be slightly more accessible; the sand that was throughout the whole playground was converted to a rubberized ground that’s easier to walk on, or push a stroller or wheelchair […]
