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.

Started our long weekend celebrating. 🎂 Happy birthday Grandpa. #family #happybirthdaydad #thankful #grandpa

A little backyard football made more exciting thanks to a visit from our Uncle Ben. 🍁🏈 #thisisfall #lifewithkids #weekendliving #unclesarethebest

This is what our first PD day of the year looked like. #dab. An afternoon of over-sized-sweater-siamese-twin shenanigans. One of the best things about moving across the country, has been these two. The fall colours are a close second. 🌻🍁 #cousins #builtinbestfriend #moretimeslikethese #family #lifewithkids #dab #ontario #fallisbeautiful

One of the best things we can do, is get someone like @starraphotography to take a snapshot of our families. This is the only photo I've seen so far - but it's really all I need to see. ❤ Feeling thankful a million times over. Reminded (once again) that life is all about little moments like this.This is what matters ...maybe this time the reminder will stick. #family #lifewithkids #reminders #getinthepicture #live #timeisprecious #slowdown #fallfamilyphotos

thirty-two. if someone had told sixteen-year-old me what my life would look like when I was thirty - two, I don't know how I would feel. Proud, disheartened or slightly disgruntled - no matter, I've found my way here. Now, it's about what comes next. Let's see what I can make of this life, in hopes of another thirty-two. ❤️🌿 #happybirthday #newbeginnings #freshstart #onedayatatime #change #letsgetstarted #thirtytwo

Kind of thankful we had one extra day before we had to face "back to school". One extra day to get our act together, attempt an early bedtime (and fail). I can't believe we are where we are. Feeling empty, with my too quiet house, half eaten toast left on the table... I'm not ready to grow up. But they certainly are. ❤️🌿 #backtoschool #newbeginning

I hid myself away for the weekend - trying to prepare my heart and my head for this whole new chapter starting on me this week. Snuck out of hiding today for one more day of this. Ready or not. #goodbyesummer #newbeginnings #readyornot #notready

8 years ago, a boy married a girl. Marriage is where the movies end, the credits roll and the caption reads, "and they lived happily ever after". I felt completely unprepared for what came next. But I'm learning; we're learning, together. I think that may be what makes us "work". Falling in love at 17, I would call it serendipitous more than I would call it fate or destiny, that we ended up here. Through our 14 years as a couple, we have grown up a whole heck of a lot. And we have even more growing to do. What have I learned so far? It doesn't feel like much at all. But what I can say, is that I am married to a man who chooses me everyday, not just one day 8 years ago. What I wasn't expecting? That I would fall in love with this man more and more deeply all of the time. #happyanniversary

How many pictures of your kids climbing all over a dock can you post in one summer? Holding onto all the bits of summer for just a little while longer. ❤️ #summer #summerwithkids #lifewithkids #lakelife #onthelake #thisissummer

A boy mom of three, my everyday is a mix of superheroes, power shields, and digging in the dirt. I love every part of it. But this Friday, Hailey and I snuck away for a hot minute - to a not-quite-long-enough girl party with my three nieces that I'm slowly getting to know, and were reacquainted with a world of mermaids, babies, and Barbie Island Princess. And that was so lovely too. ❤️

what is that quote about learning to dance in the rain? ☔🌿 we made some progress on that today. ...although there was more racing than dancing. ❤️ #rainyday #summer #danceintherain #lifewithkids #alwayslearning #theyteachme #allthethings

We chose to take a leap of faith. We made a choice to follow a new path and changed the direction our life was headed. Everything seemingly fell into place - this was the best decision we could have made for our family. But I'm not finding it easy, or natural. It feels kind of like I am fumbling around in the dark... like I should be confident in the path I'm taking, but I hesitate instead, preparing myself to run into something I can't quite see coming. More and more I'm having hope-filled days. But the doubt keeps on creeping in and catches me off guard, convinces me to stay in bed, go back to bed, and hide. I'll try again tomorrow. #thisisreallife
