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 […]
I’m honoured to have written a blog for Sunnybrook’s NICU page, welcoming parents to the beginning of their NICU journey. If you’re interested in reading the piece, you can find it here: Welcome to the NICU … a Parent’s Perspective Again, thank you for the continued support of Adventures with Multiples.
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 […]
This is officially my 100th blog post! I originally started this blog upon my inpatient stay as a way to quickly disseminate information to friends and family and to pass the time. I never imagined that the blog would speak to others who didn’t already know me. The response to this blog, and to certain […]
Yesterday, I went into a store, and upon seeing I had twins, a woman immediately asked me if I had seen the picture of the twins born holding hands. I told her I had, and that my girls are mono mono too. “Oh!” she said, “wasn’t that so sweet?” Yes, it is sweet, and that […]
I recently joined some online support groups for parents of mono mono twins. I probably should have joined while I was still pregnant, but never really thought about it. Recently, I was perusing through facebook when I saw some mums had posted pictures of their mono mono twins’ cords; bloody, tangled, and often knotted. My […]
Not to make myself sound like an old lady, but honestly, you blink and the next thing you know, your kids have grown so much and you’re left wondering where the time has gone. The girls are officially four months old, seven weeks corrected. Ella is a bit over ten pounds and Raegan is nine […]
Aside from May 4th being Star Wars day, it’s also Parent of Preemie Day. Now, it seems like every day is National day of something, but today hits home as a Mama of preemie girls. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 117 days since our girls were born 11 weeks early. We’ve come so […]
