Embarking on this journey has been a longstanding desire of mine, one that I've contemplated starting multiple times since 2021 when my identical twins entered the world. Now, nearly three years later, I am thrilled to finally bring it to life!
Hello, I'm Bianca, and welcome to my lifestyle and parenting blog. Both my husband and I serve in the active-duty Air Force. We crossed paths in 2014, had a secret marriage in 2015, publicly tied the knot in 2016, and welcomed our first child in July 2018.
I used to believe that motherhood wasn't for me, as I didn't consider myself great with kids. However, when I discovered I was pregnant while deployed (yes, you read that right), we had to come to terms with our impending parenthood. As the pregnancy progressed, I eagerly awaited the arrival of our daughter. I'll delve deeper into my pregnancy experiences, losses, and the joys of raising children in future blog posts. For now, I can confidently say that Elaina changed everything for me, transforming my desire from not wanting kids to wanting a minimum of three.
The love I discovered for being a mom was undeniable!
Fast forward to 2020, having just earned a promotion to E-6, we were actively trying to expand our family. However, news of a military assignment for my husband led us to pause our efforts in July. But, as life would have it, we received a positive test shortly after. Our excitement grew as we learned we were expecting Monochorionic Diamniotic (Mo-Di) twins, both girls.
In 2021, my husband and I joyously welcomed our twins at 35 weeks and 5 days. They spent 12 days in a nursery before being released to us, making it a challenging period that nearly broke me. My heart goes out to all the mothers enduring weeks in the NICU. My identical twins are as identical as they can be, and they resemble their older sister. We playfully say we liked the first one so much that we decided to copy and paste, although the twins have blonde hair while their older sister is a brunette.
Now, why the blog?
