Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving here in Canada. Since I lived in America for so long, I used to celebrate both Thanksgivings, and both had different feelings for me. Canadian Thanksgiving always reminded me of home and family, and mmm sweet potato mash. American Thanksgiving was always the beginning of the holidays and I still put […]
The other day, I was chatting with another mum about the girls. I shared a little of our story and she asked how long the girls had spent in the NICU. I responded, “80 days.” She laughed, “Not that you were counting!” I did not laugh or return her smirk because, of course I counted […]
Well, nine months. Nine whole months of having two sweet baby girls as part of our family. I can’t believe that so soon it will be their first Christmas and then first birthdays! Of course, the girls are about six and a half months corrected, but I have to say, they’re doing phenomenally. Raegan is […]
You know how some days just start off the wrong way and then spiral downward from there? I guess my bad day technically started last night when in the span of thirty minutes I smashed my toe twice on the clunkiest furniture we have, resulting in a sore, swollen, and purple digit. So when I […]
Since Buds was born, I’ve been a lot of different type of mums; first time mom, stay at home mom, working mom, pregnant mom, twin mom, preemie mom, and mom of three. Now, I am really starting to think about being a special needs mom. I guess I’ve technically been a special needs mom since […]
Every article, post, and doctor tells you not to compare babies. Of course, it’s inevitable as conversations constantly find their way back to whose baby is doing what.

My last Twiniversity blog was about giving Buds attention after the girls came home. It wasn’t meant to be a sob story about having three kids, it was more of a reminder of how important it is to ensure that all your kids, no matter how many you have, know that they are loved and […]
At the beginning, it was a struggle for me to handle all three kids by myself and make sure that they all got attention, especially Buds. I found ways to incorporate him into our daily routine based on the things he loves. In the end, I don’t want regrets when it comes to my kids, […]
It’s not often that a five month old blows your mind, but when said five month old has survived a premature birth, grade four brain bleed, enlarged ventricles, pneumothorax, chest tube, transfusions, and more within weeks of being born, it really shouldn’t surprise me. Today, we were back at Sick Kids for Ella’s first MRI. […]
Eight months! I just realized that at some point soon I need to think about the girls’ first Christmas and birthdays. At five and a half months corrected, the girls weigh around 15 pounds and are wearing six month size clothing. I’ve had to box up even more clothes that they just keep outgrowing. Miss […]
