I went into prelabor with twins at 21 weeks. I endured a spectrum of treatments from strict bed rest, procardia, terbutaline, indocin, corticosteroids, to the (gulp) 24 hour mag treatment, and home monitoring. Then my babies aged out of these options and there was nothing left to do but soak in the tub doped up … Continue reading
Our girls were recently featured on Girl Charlee Fabric for their May KnitPics spotlighting Chevron fabric. Twelve2 designed these patriotic outfits featuring their dad’s home state of Texas. It’s a perfect ensemble to bring in the summer. Twelve2 is a handmade product shop with a worthy cause. All proceeds go to adoptions or missions, that’s … Continue reading
Twins are like night and day. Their individuality comes alive during our afternoon walks. Ava tugs at my arm as she glances back at the dog that we left at home. She chants “ba-ba” as she mimics our dog’s bark. Kaitlyn reaches her little fingers to feel the groves of the sidewalk and gutters. Hugs! … Continue reading
Spring is in the air, and little toddler feet are pitter-pattering outdoors. At 15-months old the girls spend most of their days giggling, exploring, and chewing on toys. Oh, the life. Kaitlyn loves to play fetch with herself, throwing it then picking it up for a chew. I asked Ava to “smell the flowers”, but … Continue reading

It’s rare that the girls sit still and are together. Mission accomplished. Thanks Baby Einstein! If you haven’t discovered the Baby Einstein DVDs, … Continue reading
“We’re baby-free!” I cried out as my hubby and I headed to the beach to celebrate our anniversary. It was our first child-less weekend. The second day into it, I get the dreaded call. Our 13 month old girls have RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). Happy anniversary dear. Have you ever experienced 42 pounds of babies … Continue reading
“Waaaahhhhhh!” I hear my daughter screaming at the top her lungs. I swoop in for the rescue. She’s just learned to walk, and her unsteady legs caused her trip and scrape her face on the brick wall of our porch. These mild sunny December days have lured the girls and me to spend many an … Continue reading
Today, Kaitlyn and Ava, you are one year old. God answered our prayers and allowed you to come into this world healthy at 34 weeks. You stayed in the NICU for 10 days and came home to us on Christmas Eve. You were your Mom and Dad’s favorite Christmas presents. Kaitlyn, you are our firstborn … Continue reading
Life is precious. I’m seated on the floor between my twin girls as they giggle and gurgle with joy to themselves while exploring the living room floor. A little one glances over her shoulder every few minutes to confirm I’m still seated. They remain content so long as I’m with them. I tend to complain … Continue reading
Here are 7 interesting things about myself. I lived in the Philippines during my second and third grade years. Plus, I spent 7 months there while in college interning during the week and mountain climbing on weekends. People ask me, “do twins run in your family?” No, I say infertility does. My husband’s grandmother has … Continue reading
