March and April are always pretty difficult months for me. It’s March for Babies time, and I am dedicated and committed to raising as much money as I can each year. But with this responsibility (and let it be known, this is my passion, but I also consider it a responsibility, which I’ll explain) comes […]
Kathryn and Tiny’s Twin to Twin Transfusion Story
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared about Twin To Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) on my blog. Since that’s why it all began, it seems only right to share periodically. Additionally, the TTTS Support Team is trying to raise some funding for some projects, and I’d like to highlight their efforts. (More on them at the […]
TTTS Tuesday – Teeny Tears and Crew and Dex’s Story
Originally posted on Jan 22, 2013. I mentioned last month that I wanted to weave in stories of the amazing TTTS mothers and some of the accomplishments that have come from their grief of losing one or both babies. If you have been following my blog for awhile, you may remember my involvement with Teeny […]
TTTS Tuesday – Elena and Diana
Today we hear from Laura D. who is sharing her TTTS journey with us. Her girls Elena and Diana are double survivors (thankfully!) but they still had a tough journey to make it here alive. Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome is never an easy battle. Thank you Laura for sharing your girls and your story […]
TTTS Tuesday – Zachary and Alex’s Story
As is the case with any of the TTTS moms I have become friends with, I met Wendy through the TTTS Grief Support Group, or maybe it was the Survivors with Guardian Angels. Either way, we both lost one twin and got to take one twin home. Wendy has taken her story and written a […]
Bittersweet moments – TTTS Tuesday Special Edition
I have become close friends with several other moms who have lost one of their twins. One of those is Brooke, who lost one of her twins to TTTS. You can read Walker and Willis’s story here. I just wanted to dedicate today to Walker and his angel twin Willis as they celebrate their birthday. […]
TTTS Tuesday – Micah and Spencer
Melissa was so sweet when she sent me her story. She said that March 5th is the boys 6th birthday, and if I could, it would mean a lot to have their story today. Of COURSE I could! A bittersweet birthday, one here, one in heaven, but we celebrate both boys! What struck me when […]
TTTS Tuesday – Cameron and Cole’s Story
Jodie and I connected through the TTTS Survivors with Guardian Angels group. Someone asked me one time what that means. It means we have one twin that survived, and one twin that is the surviving twins guardian angel. Just like Kathryn is to Tiny, Cole is to Cameron. Jodie’s angel baby, Cole, also the recipient, […]

TTTS Tuesday – Landon and Luke’s Story
Amanda and I connected on the TTTS Survivors Group Facebook page last summer. She has been a very supportive friend, and I’m happy to share her story of her two baby boys – double survivors! I would like to highlight her excellent medical care. Once they identified the twins, her OB sent her to a […]
TTTS Tuesday – Addison and Peyton’s Story
This week I get to keep featuring amazing mamas and their TTTS stories! (Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome for anyone new! You can read more about it here.) I’m just going to go ahead and admit that I’m a little biased about this story, because Peyton and Addison live nearby and I get to spend […]

TTTS Tuesday – Kathryn and Tiny’s Story
Since it is December 11th and yesterday was Tiny’s (and Kathryn’s) first birthdays, and tomorrow is the one year anniversary since we lost Kathryn, I thought this was a great Tuesday to feature my own battle with TTTS. Our daughters are monochorionic-diamniotic (Mo/Di) twins – one placenta, two sacs. Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) […]
