No Logo

10 years ago, I picked up a copy of Naomi Klein’s No Logo. At the time, Jack was a baby, my life was about 1 cause after another, and No Logo fitted in to my personal politik.
I’d never been in a Starbucks, I hate Disney (it really freaks me out).
Radiohead recommended the book [...]

One small step, on a long long road.

This last year has been one of the most difficult of my life. Adjusting to life with new born twins and I notice my son is fading away before my eyes. My 5 year old was diagnosed with leukemia; our world fell apart.
We started treatments, he got better, I got married, my new husband [...]

Nearly 29 weeks…

The new crib arrived today, it’s still in pieces and will be for a while.
I’m nearly 29 weeks pregnant, and the first 2 trimesters have been a breeze.
This week, in trimester 3, the elastic has snapped and it’s kicked my arse. I can’t walk without wheezing. My ribs are SORE. I swear one of [...]

I don’t understand….

I opened the notes program on my iPhone, for what I thought was the first time.
I attach screenshots of what I found. Written on Jan 5, at 1:37 a.m.

Should I be scared?

It’s been a while…

It’s been a while since I added to the blog, things have been busy.
I’m 27 weeks pregnant today, and to the shock and horror of a lot of people, I went ice skating.
Now, yes, I accept this is risky. But it’s not like it’s only the 5th time in my life that I’ve been skating. [...]

Kat’s Online Baby Shower

After 5 kids, baby showers get kinda tedious. And people start to resent the idea of going to yet another shower.
The fact is, Noah and Phoebe will come into this world, and will have everything they ever need.
Thankfully, they have older twin siblings, so there’s very little we need to buy. We have [...]

And here come the hormones

I fucking hate hormones.
No one else I know is pregnant with twins right now, and I feel so damn alone. All my friends are not pregnant, and I feel like the trailer-trash kid who can’t keep her legs crossed.
I hate the aloneness.
Last time, I had a group of great guys all going [...]

Babies’ first words….

13 months old, and we’re slowly making sense of the words coming out of the twins.
Evangeline is way ahead. I’m Mamoo. RH is Boboo. Singe is Singe (French for Monkey). Banane the dog is Bananananananana. She starts shouting him and seemingly can’t stop.
Joe is a boy of few syllables. I’m Oo. RH is [...]
