My toddler twins are now 20 months and although late walkers I am proud to announce we can all start to walk holding hands! I went to the G.P., the physio and pediatrician and they gave the girls the “all clear” but still we are waiting for them to break free and run. I think…
“It gets easier,” they say. I do enjoy being part of the unofficial parents of Multiple Birth Club. A club where instant recognition and understanding between parents can bring an instant connection and conversation. However when I do meet parents of older multiples the most common retort is “It gets easier.” “Really,” I sigh. I…
What is the tipping point to decide to have Baby number 3? At 31 years old, a good group of my friends have at least 1, a lesser few have had no 2 and announced it as their last and only a couple of school friends in contact through facebook are having a third this…
The girls are now 15 months old and still not walking so grocery shopping alone is impossible without some help. I usually leave the shopping to N as he is a better one with the grocery budget but as he is just out of hospital from back surgery it is now a family affair. Nether-the-less…

It would be lying if sometimes multiple mums had singleton baby envy. After posting this question on The Blogfrog and Multiple birth parents forums it was nice to know I am not the only one. The girls are now 14 months and I love watching them learn new things everyday (both can now crawl!) but…
So I bit the bullet and bought a new Apple iMac before Christmas. I confess I didn’t quite have all of the money so I have a credit card bill to start off in 2011. I still have two weeks of annual leave to enjoy but this Summer has been miserable. Most of Queensland is…
All mums are amazing whether you have had one or ten children (actually more than ten children these days sounds a little neglectful but that is for another blog post) but it is the multiple mums I love to hear from the most. At the moment we are all waiting to hear of the pending…
I was recently asked for my opinion of the benefits of Private Healthcare in planning to have a baby.
