Now I have had my Insta account for years – like before Adelyn was born! I shared bits and pieces back then and when Adelyn came along it became an all baby spam account (my photography back then was pretty crap haha)!

When we were ttc after Adelyn I started a separate account for my ttc journey as it was a place I could share my pain with others who understood. I remained anonymous on that account and only added a select few of my close friends who knew what we were going through. It was so nice to connect to others who were going through the exact same thing as I was. It was a safe place I could express my feelings and emotions through. When we found out we were pregnant through IVF I started sharing a little more of our IVF journey on my main account but kept most of it private as I had received many negative comments about doing IVF and TTC in my every day life, I didn’t want to hear any more of it.

Fast forward to when we found out about the huge difference between the twins and researched like CRAZY. Every day I would be searching hashtags with anything to do with twins, size difference, IUGR, Twin to Twin Syndrome etc. I just wanted to find someone who had gone through something similar to us and made it out the other end. I found a few accounts, who I still talk to today, that went through something similar (more TTTS or Single Bub IUGR) but that they understood our journey exactly. They were there for me when I needed support and guidance and just an ear to listen to. There was not very many though and I just knew one day I wanted to help others in our position. Once our NICU journey was done I wanted to give back to my followers and hope that one day I inspire and help other parents going through something similar.

Hence why I started to share our whole journey with you all. I know of a few accounts now who have been through very very similar journeys to our girls and I love the fact I have been able to give them hope that they can get through the journey themselves no matter how hard it is in the moment.

Motherhood can be so lonely even though you are never alone – we must stick together. We are stronger together! This is why I share my ups, downs and in betweens, so that others know they are never alone in their thoughts, situations or journeys 🥰
