Parenthood is a roller coaster.

It’s filled with ups and downs and twists and turns.

There are moments you can predict what will happen and moments that take you by surprise.

What Motherhood Has Taught Me so Far

What Motherhood Has Taught Me so Far

In the grand scheme of parenthood, I haven’t been a mother all that long. None the less, I have been through more firsts in the past 6 months than I have ever been through before. In no particular order, here are 25 things I’ve learned or realized since giving birth;

Finding Out We’re Pregnant with TWINS

Finding Out We’re Pregnant with TWINS

I still remember the lead up to finding out we were pregnant. It wasn’t like in the movies. Because we were trying, and because the at home pregnancy tests advertise ‘test 4 days before your expected period’ that’s exactly what I did. NEGATIVE.
