Multiples Illuminated {Book Review}

June 3, 2016 By katbiggie 2 Comments

Multiples Illuminated

Multiples Illuminated – a book review Did you just discover that you are pregnant . . . with twins, triplets or more? I remember EXACTLY the moment that the ultrasound technician told me there were TWO heart beats. TWO? I had a just-turned-four-year-old and a 16-month-old at home, and this was a surprise I was […]

Are You At Risk for Preterm Birth? World Prematurity Day

November 17, 2014 By katbiggie 3 Comments

World Prematurity Day

When I found out I was pregnant with my third child, which surprisingly turned out to be twins, I never thought twice about having a preterm baby. I had carried two babies to 40 weeks and 1 day each. The first had come on his own (thankfully so, because he had a nukal chord and […]

When the unexpected happens {TTTS}

September 29, 2014 By katbiggie 7 Comments

I was cleaning out my email and I came across a trail of emails I sent out to friends and family, starting on September 29, 2011. We had just received our TTTS diagnosis. I wanted to post this email here. As I read over it, I realized one of my prayers (I’m sure more than […]

Stories from the TTTS Trenches {Jackalyn and Alexa}

June 11, 2014 By katbiggie 5 Comments

Saturday night we Return to Zero

May 15, 2014 By katbiggie 6 Comments

I am still a tad bit behind… okay, a lot behind. This blog has taken a back seat while I’ve tried to recover from three months of non-stop fundraising and two major mega campaigns. I’m not quite sure when I’ll be completely caught up. I have packages of books to mail around the country, thank […]

Blood Drive for TTTS

May 9, 2014 By katbiggie Leave a Comment

blood drive for TTTS

Most preemies need blood transfusions. So if you’re in Columbia, SC or anywhere near, come on out to the blood drive on Friday, May 16th. I think one of the most amazing things to come out of my journey with Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) is the relationship with other moms and to be […]

Breaking the Silence

June 14, 2013 By katbiggie 19 Comments

I attended my monthly grief support group last night. It was an emotional evening. More so than usual. We had several new people at the meeting and we all shared our stories. These women encourage and inspire me. Some of them have been through so much, with as many as 5 losses. Some had early […]

Friends, any of you who frequent my blog know that I lost an infant, Kathryn, two days after birth.
