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, […]
We are so lucky to live near Sunnybrook, one of the best maternity wards and NICUs in Canada. We also got lucky that the girls scored a twin room as there are only two in the NICU. Sunnybrook’s NICU is separated into pods, so everyone gets their own pod. I spend my day in the […]
I finally got to hold Ella today, and what a cuddle it was! After coming off all her sedatives, Miss Ella has proven herself to be quite the cranky pants. She spent much of the morning crying until the nurse finally pulled her out of her home and placed her on my chest. Wrapped in […]
It’s been non-stop since the girls were born, trying to figure out schedules and routines. After Buds goes to daycare, Jas drops me at the hospital and I spend the day with the girls, then I get picked up and we get Buds and all head home together for dinner. I find it hard to […]
Our baby girls are one week old! What a week it’s been, filled with so much emotion, not a day has gone by where tears weren’t shed, but smiles have abounded as well. The girls may be identical, but their beginnings have been anything but. Though small, Raegan is doing so well, and is back […]
Though Jason got to meet the girls right away and even got to hold their hands, I had to wait way longer than I could stand. After seeing the girls on ultrasound so often and carrying them almost thirty weeks, I was dying to meet them. Right after delivery, I spent a sleepless night worrying […]
On the coldest day we’ve had in years, our girls decided they’d had enough and wanted out of their swimming pool. Monday night, their tracings were normal and we expected to be home Tuesday. Tuesday morning came and my lovely nurse came to do my tracing early so I could get on home. Ironically, this […]
I think these girls are trying to tell me to stop making plans as every time I do, something else gets in the way. Just when I was excited to get the three of us back home, I find myself back in the hospital. Thinking today would be a normal doctor visit and ultrasound, I […]
We keep on trucking and have made it to week 29! The girls are both about the size of an acorn squash and continue to grow. My stomach is not only massive but often looks similarly to that famous scene in Alien, with someone dying to get out. Apparently at this time the babies’ brains […]
Dear baby girls, 2013 was a year full of ups and downs – your brother got bigger and amazed us every day with his humour and intelligence, Mama and Daddy got married, and we found out we were having you, but, we also lost people we love and faced some mountains that seemed impossible to […]
