The end of 2013 has definitely kicked our asses. With me being in the hospital and chaos occurring at home, I was thrilled to be released from HRO. Not even home a week and the ice storm evicted us from our home, meaning we got to spend Christmas in a hotel. A week later we […]
I’ve heard doctors and nurses say that patients are really the best advocates for their care, and as a social worker I believe wholeheartedly in that. Today during my ultrasound I wasn’t scheduled to have growth done on the babies, and knowing that it’s been two weeks, I asked that it be done and I’m […]
I’ve officially made it to 28 weeks and my third trimester! This was my goal so everything after today is gravy! Our little ladies are now about the size of an eggplant and are hopefully around two pounds. I should find out tomorrow what they’re weighing now! They’re pretty much good to go if they […]
27 weeks! Another important milestone as soon I’ll be in my third trimester! Here’s hoping that the babies are around 2 pounds, about the size of a rutabaga, if that’s helpful at all to anyone. Also, this means only 5 weeks until our scheduled C-section, crazy! The babies are starting to breathe inside the womb, […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past fifteen years, you know breastfeeding is the best for babies with healthy moms. It’s pretty much become an assumption now that after you deliver, you breastfeed, with doctors, friends, and perfect strangers saying it more as a statement than a question, “You plan to breastfeed.” […]
We’ve hit another milestone, 25 weeks! Yay! With every week, our baby girls grow stronger and will do better if they are delivered. Also, at 25 weeks, we have 7 weeks left to go! So our little cantaloupes are no more, now they’re two cauliflowers! Not as sweet, but pretty funny to picture two cauliflowers […]
I’m pretty sure that a lot of parents enjoy decorating the nursery, especially with their first baby. When we were having Buds, we lived in a small apartment, which meant no painting, and also meant that his room was shared with our small office desk and chair. Since we couldn’t do much, I used wall […]
Love when my boys come to visit me! It may just be a cafeteria, but it might as well be Paris with how happy it makes me to see them.
Christmas has been my favourite time of year since as long as I can remember. The decorating, twinkling lights everywhere, and just the general feeling in the air are something I look forward to every year. After moving from a too-small apartment to a teeny semi, I was excited to put up lights outside and […]
Jas came to visit me and took his job helping to keep the babies’ heartbeats monitored VERY seriously. They seem to behave best when Daddy’s around, which just isn’t fair. Jas brought Buds today and he helped to smooth the monitor on my belly and even held my hand. Having my boys visit definitely helps […]
