As I’ve connected with several Moms that held the title of “NICU Mom”, it seems there’s one thing all have felt-an “out of place” position.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Or what about that saying, “When it rains, it pours”? Well, the past few days have definitely done that. On Wednesday, I had my regular trigger point injections that I have waited my entire pregnancy to have. Unfortunately I think with the joys of two babies instead of… [Continue Reading]
Since the twins have been born, I have been trying to make sure I focus specific times on Kelsie and Aubrey. Today we had the chance to go to the Iowa State Gymnastics tournament. Both the girls love music and getting up dancing so it just seemed perfect to take them. I have never been… [Continue Reading]
Today weighing the boys, Nathan was 11 lbs and Lucas 10 lbs. These little guys are growing like no other! And of course, you can’t go wrong with silly faces… You just have to wonder what those little guys are thinking…
