I’m not totally sure why as women start to grow a baby belly, every stranger in the world has an opinion to share. Forget about when the actual baby is born and you cannot get five feet without someone telling you what your baby wants or needs. I accepted that with my son, and mastered […]
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 […]
Today the girls had their first post-NICU follow-up at Sunnybrook. It was mixed emotions going back, part of me felt happy to see people who were practically family for our stay in the hospital, and the other part anxious heading back to a place that holds so many memories and emotions. After Ella’s head injury […]
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 […]
After such a long journey in the NICU, it’s so nice to be home, but we constantly have doctor appointments. Today, Miss Ella had her first follow-up appointment at Sick Kids’ neurosurgery department. After her brain damage and subsequent swelling, there was discussion about her having surgery or a shunt put in to drain excess […]
Wow, so hard to believe that almost the first third of the girls’ first year is done! What an amazing adventure we’ve been on in just 100 days. The past couple days have been super cold and gross so we’ve mostly been bumming around at home, which is fine. Buds’ last day at daycare is […]
I can’t imagine that upon seeing the two lines – pregnant!- anyone is hoping for a high risk pregnancy. The excitement and nervousness quickly turns to anxiety, fear, and the unknown. When we found out we were pregnant again, we never imagined the journey we were about to take. Dr. Hui discovered the twins, and […]
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 […]
