Yesterday I came across an article about Kasey-Rae Chambers and her twin daughters Hallie, left, and Harlow. Kasey-Ray was diagnosed stage 3 at 16 weeks, and she and her girls underwent fetoscopic laser surgery. The surgery was successful, and although the twins were born at 28 weeks and spent two months in Neonatal intensive care […]
Braxton and Connor {TTTS Tuesday}
Congratulations to Brooke and Willis – for raising over $2000 for the TTTS Foundation with their Walk for Life! Today I want to share another TTTS Tuesday story. I was just recently introduced to Bethany, and she wrote a beautiful piece about her sons, Braxton and Connor. Braxton and Connor My name is Bethany and […]
Identical Twins were ONE person
I found this video on YouTube as I was searching around. TTTS videos often pop up as recommended for me. I thought this was a really good, short, and informative video about TTTS. Even though I knew it, I’d never heard it voiced out loud by a medical professional… identical twins are one person. It’s […]
TTTS Awareness
I am following a theme of eco-friendly, green living, and recycling this week in honor of Earth Day, so I’m recycling some TTTS Awareness posts and images. The following information is copied directly from the American Pregnancy Association. Does the mother have any signs of Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome? A mother whose twins have […]
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: Heatherly Rose and Winter Lille
I met Taylor in the TTTS Grief Support group. It was shortly after she lost her girls and she was devastated. Today we honor her girls by sharing their story. Taylor’s experience shows how suddenly TTTS can occur and further emphasizes why earlier and more frequent ultrasounds are so important in multiples pregnancies. Heatherly […]
Progress on My Three Words
Heal, Support, Balance. Those are my words this year to focus on in response to the challenge from Elena at Just.Be.Enough. I am doing great making progress with two and failing miserable with the third. I’m sure my closest friends and family could tell you exactly which one that is! I know that I am […]
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 – Catherine and Hattie’s Story
I have been so inspired by the mothers who have lost and yet give back so much. This week is no different. Emily really made an impression on me because rather than letting her grief from losing her identical twin daughters completely consume her, she began a photo project in their honor. I know so […]
The Dreaded “Year of Firsts”
We all have ways of measuring things, passing time, marking key events. When you go through something as horrific as TTTS and infant loss, or the loss of anyone you love, there are so many dates, events, memories. When it was diagnosed, when we had procedures, when the babies were born. When Kathryn died. I dreaded […]
