    A Weekend of Face Plants

    Boys, you are on the move!
    It’s Labor Day weekend and you have been busy. Saturday brought three face plants for you, Finn, as you took a few attempts at crawling. Luca, you had something between an army crawl and a tripod crawl with one knee-to-leg extension to scoot you down the hall. This has been [...]

    This Week’s Walk Down Memory Lane

    A friend of ours was struck with preeclampsia earlier this week. The doctors were able to get her blood pressure down with magnesium sulfate (which I had after delivery for preeclampsia, as well) which bought them enough time to get her two steroid shots to boost the surfactant in her baby girl’s lungs. Her little [...]

    4 Months, Give or Take a Week

    Dear Finn and Luca,
    You just turned four months old, two months “corrected” age for gestation. You’ve been in our lives for four months so we’ll go with four. Finnegan, you just became an oxygen free man two weeks ago and have done nothing but grow since then. You both have been chatting us up for [...]

    Feeling Like a Mama

    Feeling Like a Mama

    I’m sitting in my grandmother’s glider rocker with Finnegan on my chest, trying to comfort some of his gas pains. Finn has now been home for six days (he came home on their due date), Luca for 25. I can hardly believe I’ve had a baby at home for almost a month. The growth during [...]

    Twin Dreams

    Having babies has certainly simplified my perspective. I feel like time has slowed down. I notice littler things and have begun to ponder simple things like I once did in my teens when discovering poetry. I often think about the song “When you dream” by the Bare Naked Ladies. It asks the singer’s baby, “What [...]

    Resolving to Break Former Resolution

    Resolving to Break Former Resolution

    Maybe it’s that I’m a new mom or maybe I’ve just become more mindful of taking care of myself but just a few days ago I decided to break my usual holiday promise to myself regarding New Year’s resolutions. That is, to not make any resolutions. I have a tendency to undermine my own intentions [...]
