I’m a romantic at heart, married to a foodie who shares my love of new wave music and different cultures. I'm a sweet mama to twin girls and a silly boy, who light up my life and keep me on my toes! I love brunches and spa days with my besties and jet-setting around the world - my fave travel spots are Paris and Italy! I love making things pretty while keeping it simple, and finding excuses to gather and entertain at home. I love to share inspiration for a beautiful life and support other sweet mamas and bosses struggling to do it all while maintaining their identity and sanity. xoxo Haydee (iDay, like Friday!)
After three weeks in the hospital for preterm labor issues related to Baby B, we became the proud parents of TWO BABY GIRLS delivered via Cesarean on December 23rd. Baby A weighed in at 2 lbs 5 oz (14″) and Baby B at 1 lb 12 oz (13.75″). Both babies are being cared for in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit), and I am recovering well. At this time, we have no pictures or names to share. Thank you for your support and prayers.
I read somewhere that many husbands buy their wives a nice piece of jewelry, to commemorate the birth of their new children. This can be seen as a token of his appreciation and admiration for his wife, after everything she’s been through during labor and delivery. We have been looking around for some simple jewelry I can wear to honor our new babies, once they arrive. I like the charms used on necklaces (with initials, names, or birthstones) that are used to represent children, like some of the ones I’ve shown below.

At my last doctor’s visit, my doctor informed me that my 24-week belly is now the same size of the belly of a woman carrying one baby at 8 months. Shock! Well, it’s expected with two buns in the oven. Strangers are already commenting about my size, in the guise of “you’re due any day now, huh?”…When I went shopping for groceries, one of the clerks said “Oohh…be careful, we don’t want any surprises!!” when he saw me walk in. “Don’t worry. I’m not due until February,” I replied. I told him I am expecting twins, and then he understood.
