We're Back...Spread the word!!!


We're back!!! After several months just learning how to be parents to two amazing twin boys we're ready to start posting again.  We have guarded the privacy of our boys carefully while still wanting to share photographic evidence of our great joy and pride for our boys.  We have yet to publicly post any videos of our boys but that is about to change for a very good reason!!! It seems that each week we encounter a new story of a couple dealing with the same nightmare we did but with far less information than we had.  I am sickened to learn how many medical professionals are clueless about TTTS across our nation and world!  With each visit to our pediatrician the Dr. tells us, “If I didn’t know your history with TTTS, I would never guess what Connor & Timothy went through based on how healthy they are now!”  Multiple times he has encouraged us to start sharing our story to raise awareness of TTTS.  It’s time!!! We’re ready!!! Our medium for raising awareness: Youtube & my blog. I’ve never really understood why so many Youtube videos featuring twin babies have SO many views but they do! Millions! We are a culture fascinated by multiples! So why not use that fascination for the power of good!  Starting very soon we will begin posting videos of our twins with the hopes of raising awareness of TTTS.  PLEASE help us get started by sharing our pregnancy announcement video that we made long before we realized just how complicated the pregnancy would become.  I'm not gonna lie if we end up on Ellen all my dreams will come true-ha!  

****Even now as I type this Jonny is messaging back and forth with a woman who is forced to decide whether or not to have the same Laser Surgery to save the lives of her triplets despite the fact that doctors are conflicted as to whether or not the mother's life will be in danger. Please pray for her!**** 

We're already have 4,644 hits on this video...let's get some more & start raising awareness of TTTS!!! 


The boys turned 7 months old on Sunday, November 3!!!  This tired twin Momma hasn't had time to update the monthly photos yet (our boys didn't exactly get the memo about time "Falling Back" & boy am I exhausted!) For now enjoy these 6 month photos and the "outtakes" that show it's time for me to hire a professional! 





As always check out the TTTS Foundation Website to learn more about Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome.
