Somewhere, some way...

  


Somewhere, some way, there will always be one of these beds waiting for a baby born too soon.

About Me

My photo
Twintrospectives
A Canadian mother to 3 boys, all born premature. My eldest is a 31 weeker and his twin brothers were born at 27 weeks. The experience of preterm birth not once, but three times has been life altering, but an amazing journey over the last 5 years. In addition to being a full time mom, I work full time for a non-profit and in my "spare time" I am a Peer Health Worker, supporting other parents of multiples in my region. I am also Chair of MBC's Preterm Birth Support Network.
