Parenthood is a Roller Coster

Parenthood is a Roller Coster

Parenthood is a roller coaster.

It’s filled with ups and downs and twists and turns.

There are moments you can predict what will happen and moments that take you by surprise.

It’s also very much an emotional one.

This morning I woke up completely DONE and my day hadn’t even started.

I Haven't Written in One Year- Where Has the Year Gone?!

I Haven't Written in One Year- Where Has the Year  Gone?!

It has been ONE year since I’ve written a blog! 

November 9, 2018 I published a blog about the fast approach of my twins first birthday. 

I now sit here, one year later and think to myself how has ALL this time past?! 

Well, I’ll tell you how. TWINS. That’s how! 

But actually there’s more to the story. 

Approaching the First Birthday

Approaching the First Birthday

As a child reaches their first birthday, it’s a really emotional time for new parents. It’s the realization of the shocking truth that somehow one whole year has already passed by, it’s the sadness in knowing the newborn baby stage is over, it’s the excitement of watching your child navigate this world, its the joy in watching each milestone.

One Month Postpartum – Life After the Twins Arrival

Today is my actual due date; January 6, 2018; and instead of anticipating the twin’s arrival, tomorrow they will be one month old!

The Birth Story of Harvey & Walter

The Birth Story of Harvey & Walter

I sit here at home, like every other Saturday morning, except it’s not like every other Saturday morning.  I have two adorable wee men swaddled up beside me making little grunting noises. I’ve just fed and changed them but it’s a race against time before they wake up for their next feeding.

There’s a million things I should be doing right now, but I really wanted to make a post about my birth story. It may have been long, not the way I imagined, or something I would even think I’d want to remember, but, it’s my story. And, it’s something I want to share and recall.

A Gender Reveal Reflection

I remember people asking me if I was nervous to open the box. I just remember feeling really anxious… until it actually became time to open it!
