We knew it. It was going to be hard. Twins and Jettie. Juggling Julia’s schedule. Both working full time, high stress jobs. Never having a day off together due to our opposite schedules. We knew it was going to be a challenge from the very beginning. John and I talked about how kids would impact…
Pictures vs. Poop
The twins are almost 6 months old and we don’t have a single family photograph. John and I work opposite shifts, so it is a rare occasion for all of us to be together. Since John recently purchased new camera, we decided it would be a great time to attempt a family photo shoot. Now…
Little Summer Getaway
Summer was almost over, so we decided to have one last family getaway before school started back. Something that was not too far away. Something that would be entertaining to a 10 year old, a 1 1/2 year old, and easy to do with 4 month old twins. I mean if you can call anything…
Sometimes all you can do is LAUGH…
I can remember people asking me throughout my pregnancy with the twins if I planned on going back to work. I would say yes and they would spend the next few minutes starring at me with this bewildered look on their face. They would then proceed to tell me that I was wrong and…
Road Trip to the Beach
I am not sure that the word VACATION can be used to define any trip taken with children under the age of 2. The beach is a relaxing trip that John and I look forward to every summer. The past three years were a breeze. We hopped on a plane and arrived in Myrtle Beach…
Mom Life on Mother’s Day
Four hours! Four hours should be plenty of time to get Jettie, the twins, and myself out of the house to go meet my mother for Mother’s Day. At least it would have been if my morning had went as planned. I had everything perfectly coordinated in my head. I would pump and feed the…
Little Big Sister Meets the Twins
We have been home from the NICU for almost 2 weeks now. It has been a challenge and adjustment for the entire family, but mostly for little Jettie Ruth. With each passing day, we experience a new emotional stage with her. From the “whiny and clingy” stage, to the “I’m over it they can leave…
21 Days
It has been 21 days since the twins were born. Twenty-one days of constant dinging from monitors. Twenty-one days of temperature checks and antibiotics. Twenty-one days of traveling back and forth to the Ronald McDonald House. Twenty-one days of being away from my sweet Jettie Ruth. Twenty-one days of the ups and downs of NICU…
The Longest Day of My Life
March 18th was the longest day of my life. I woke up around 4 with some slight cramping but I really didn’t thing much of it. My doctor always told me the that Braxton Hicks were a lot more common in twin pregnancies. I tried to go back to sleep, but around 7, I noticed…
