Life in the NICU – Part 1

July 17, 2014November 11, 20186 Comments

Want to read about the little boys arrival? Head to - Graduated: Labour and Delivery Everyone in that labour and delivery room made me feel like the hard part was supposed to be over. They were here and they were going to be ok. But the keyword was "going". I still wasn't quite sure what was … Continue reading Life in the NICU – Part 1

Welcome

Hi! I’m Lindsay.
An imperfect mom choosing to look at the serendipity of life with 2 kids plus twins – our unexpected family of six.

We got to celebrate this special lady's birthday yesterday. And, because I was all wrapped up in all the feels - with the most grandchildren we've ever had all together in one place, *cough* you're welcome East Side Mario's - I went without taking a single picture all evening. So now, here I am - reminiscing on a photo from the summer time, trying to find the words. Where would you start? To even begin to explain how thankful you are for someone, for being the way they are, for giving you your husband, your kids, your family? There aren't enough words. This woman, her heart. Happy birthday ❤.

I forgot something. Something I never thought I would. I forgot about SNOW. Not all snow, just this snow. Good ol' Northern Ontario snow. It's the furthest thing from light and fluffy. It's heavy, and wet - and makes a funny crunching noise as you walk through it. Almost like you are making your way through a bed of corn starch. I remember, like it was yesterday, how in awe of Alberta's snow I had been. So light and fluffy, neighbours "plowing" their driveways with leaf blowers. And now, here I am, my first winter back; in awe of what I had left behind. We just need three snow suits for each of them so that they can stay dry. #mothernature #natuureisbeautiful #lifeisbeautiful #liveinawe #itsthelittlethings #winter #snow #exploreyourbackyard #exploreyourworld #canadaisbeautiful #canadiankids #lifewithkids #wetsnow

Perfect day for a segway ride through the dirty arena snow. 👌❤ #lego #lifewithkids #sundayfunday #hockeymom #sundays

Capturing a little christmas magic. ❤❄ #santaclausparade #tistheseason #lifewithkids #festivaloflights

The kids were adamant that they wanted to go to school today, even though buses are cancelled and it's technically a snow day. The second snow day of the year. And they want to be there, at school, just to make sure they aren't missing anything exciting. The quiet, hot coffee moment I'm having right now tells me that driving them in was already well worth the effort. I am only - a little bit - wishing that we were all still sitting around in our pyjamas, watching the snow from the window. #happysnowday #letitsnow #likewehaveachoice

Growing up, I believed everything the world sold me about true love and destiny. I was a sucker for romantic comedies, Jane Austen novels and surrounding myself with happily-ever-afters. I'm not a big believer anymore. The work, the intention, the sacrifice, the heart - everything we've poured into our life together, I can't bring myself to discredit it all by using words like "fate" and "soul mates". You wake up and choose me, everyday. I wake up and choose you. It is not "meant to be". We continually choose it to be. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Now hurry up and come home to me. I forgot how overrated this out-of-town business can be. 📸: @starraphotography #marriage #ichooseyou #happilyeverafter #truelove #thisisreallife

Couch forts. It must be a Monday... except that it's Tuesday. #lifewithkids #couchfort #caseofthemondays #ontuesday

When you should be going to bed, but instead your looking back at your week through the photos you took... Why do I feel like I don't have enough of these days left? #twinning #brothers #lifewithkids #bathtine #greenbathroom #greentiles

Oh, Ontario. The land of overhead powerlines and overly dramatic power outages. Bedtime story by flashlight for the win. 🔦🔦🔦 #powersout #stayingwarm #bedtimestory #lifewithkids

team-building saturday. I have loved watching our not-so-littles establish themselves in this new world we live in. --- currently accepting your bottle donations to help fund a little hockey swag for these all-stars. #saturdays #weekendliving #lifewithkids #canadiankid #hockeylife #newfriends #teambuilding #buildingcommunity

We're back in the land of cancelled buses and snow days. And I'm kind of loving it... That could be because I have no where else to be today, but here. ❄🏠 Happy November. #november #snowday #firstsnow #slowerliving #home #lifewithkids

And just like that, Halloween has come and gone... and we never even carved our pumpkin. Wait, what?! Let me end this post by apologizing to all of you #yyc folk experiencing a pumpkin shortage. #halloweenisover #winterishere #firstsnow #ontariosnow #sowet
