Here I am, 2 months after surgery. After a lot of conversations and many hours of worrying and deliberating, I decided to go back to teaching this year.

The girls are 2 months! Look how much they’ve grown! They are sleeping better at night (not perfectly!) and growing a lot (7lbs 10oz and 7lbs 8oz). Our family is loving the warm weather and sunshine.

Not a lot to report lately, but wanted to give an update for those asking. The girls continue to put on weight and are growing well. We aren’t getting much sleep at all, but we’re doing our best to remember that this won’t last forever. *Experienced twin parents- send me all the tips for helpingContinue reading “3/5/25”
