Iowa Blogger Chasing Twins, Living Life, & More
It’s been a long time coming as both the boys’ hair had turned into mop-top curly mullets. The hair on top was too long to faux-hawk anymore so I totally just went for it. I do have experience with cosmetology and I’ve cut many friends and family members hairs. Of course, when it’s your children-you […]
I’ve always been told that twins have a special bond and are connected. My twins have a special bond….to try and kill each other. These two are ornery and mean! They rip toys out of each others hands, they grab each others hair. The newest antic is one that is going to be the death […]
These two little boys crack me up.
Our little guys are full of spunk and orneriness. This past week, they have been wild childs. The other night, I was able to catch some of their antics on video. Who wants to come hang out?
It is impossible for me to believe that Nathan and Lucas have been with us an entire YEAR! They just had their 12 month Well Child appointments as well as their physical therapist appointment here at home. Sure enough, we had nothing but good news! Nathan and Lucas both met all of their twelve month […]
When I first found out I was having twins, I was in complete and utter shock. It just didn’t seem real. How was I going to manage? January 4th, 2012, Lucas Michael and Nathaniel Gary entered the world shortly after 4pm. Little did I know that these two little boys would teach me much more […]
Well, our little guys are moving and shaking but we’ve still got some work to do. Lucas has been go, go, go since he figured out how to crawl! Within days, he like clock work: 1.Crawled 2.Figured out how to climb stairs 3. Began standing while holding on to things. 4. Now cruising while holding […]
As if things weren’t scary enough when we had our first interaction with the orthotist, today Steven took Lucas in for a followup appointment. While he is not home yet, he called me telling me Lucas HAD to go to Dr. Franks tomorrow, immediately. Dr. Franks is a plastic surgeon. Lucas has outgrown his helmet. […]
When I first found out I was having twins, I think I was in too much shock to fully comprehend what was really going on. I found myself leaving the hospital a bit dazed as I began making phone calls home to my husband, to my best friend, to my Grandma. I was met with […]
It is official. Lucas has figured out how to crawl and now that he has, there’s no stopping him. Within a matter of a few days, this little guy is attempting to pull up on the coffee table, couch, stairs. I’m in for it. There’s no sitting in one spot now that we’ve figured this […]
Tomorrow afternoon, we will be heading back to the Orthotics. I really can’t put my emotions into words right now but I am overwhelmed to say the least. We are preparing for a rough week as he adjusts to having to wear the cranial band/helmet. I’m worried as all my children have very sensitive skin […]
The choice of a toy for an infant is a difficult one. So many toys, by so many manufacturers, reach the market every year. How can a buyer be certain a toy will hold up to the demands of a baby? How can they know which toys will still be fun six months, or six […]
They say twins are “double trouble”. Don’t get me wrong, having two little girls and then twin boys can definitely wear a person out. There’s always something that needs to get done. But then you get to see things like this. And you instantly sit back and realize you enjoy every minute of the “chaos”.
Being a parent can be the toughest job in the world. What makes it even more difficult is when there are medical issues going on and a doctor that won’t listen. Since the boys were premature, we have Early Access that helps guarantee they reach their milestones at the appropriate time and so forth. Since […]
I learn everyday that despite I have been through the “baby times” with my girls, having twins and BOYS is a totally different thing. As the boys are both teething right now, I find myself looking for new ways to keep them comfortable. We’ve had issues not wanting to eat, a cough, and screaming in […]
