Welcome!
Welcome to my blog - it's like a diary only better. This is my soapbox containing a collection of my thoughts and the experiences of my life raising twins.
Prior to this blog, prior to marriage and prior to the twinsanity that I now call my life, life was quite different for me. When you visit this blog, you won’t find me writing much about my life pre-twins – I hope that’s okay. Why? You ask. Because life with twins changes everything and my life pre-multiples is now just a dizzy, distant memory. And while it’s true that life years ago may have been a little more glamorous, the life I live now is a whole lot more rewarding and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I’m glad you’ve stopped by...there’s a really strong chance that I won’t offer anything extraordinary here, but by the same token there is also the possibility that you will experience a taste of the adventures, challenges and many joys that come with my life with twins. Hopefully that will be enough to bring you back here again.
Changes
The twins will be 3 years old in just a couple more months. It’s amazing how much can happen in just 3 short years…how much they’ve changed. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a fairly sentimental and nostalgic person, so reflecting on how much has happened in our lives led me to pull out some of the twins’ mementos as a reminder of how much they’ve grown and what a difference a couple of years makes from when they were such tiny little babies in the NICU.
Paige’s first knit hat:
And, now, just big enough to fit one of her little baby doll's heads:
Taylor’s first knit hat:
And, now:
Paige’s shoes then, roughly the size of a small AA battery:
Taylor’s shoes then, roughly the size of a small AA battery also:
Paige's first pair of sunglasses (in the NICU) and her first "binky". That green binky and those sunglasses are bigger than her head!
Taylor's first everything (in the NICU)...first IV, first breaths of oxygen, first assisted breathing. She was a sick little girl:
The leg bands the babies wore in the hospital NICU. These fell right off their tiny feet all the time…I don’t have pictures of these since I gave these as gifts to the grandparents but trust me, they were TINY, TINY leg bands! And, the diapers too. From XS Preemie sized 3 years ago to today's size 5's!!! And, now just look at them today...
