After a wonderful pregnancy with our big boy, the pregnancy with the twins was a somewhat different experience filled with extra checkups, caution, and thoughts about taking extra good care of the two little lives growing in my belly. Starting in week 30, I was hospitalized due to a shortened cervix. Since we live on an island, being bedridden in a hospital on the mainland felt like being far away from home. Being torn away from my daily life, away from my family, and away from my little boy at home, who was only a year and a half old. But amid the turmoil, a quiet gratitude also grew for every extra day the two little ones stayed in my belly, and for the people around me who helped us through a pregnancy that demanded a little more than expected. It taught me that motherhood can also be about letting go of control and focusing on what, after all, you can be grateful for.

Mother’s Instinct - Peace to Grow
Our twins chose to come into the world earlier than planned, and the start of their lives, and my journey as a mother of three, was therefore different than I had imagined. The early days at home, which are usually filled with lovely visits from family and friends, had to wait a little while. The twins needed peace to grow. I felt a bit like a mother hen protecting her chicks when I had to say no to visitors several times or set a time limit on their visits.
But if there’s one thing motherhood has taught me, it’s to listen to my feelings - and trust my maternal instinct.

Two Babies - One Breastfeeding Session
When the twins were born, I quickly learned that many things had to happen at the same time. I dreamed of giving them a breastfeeding experience that was just as beautiful and long-lasting as the one I’d had with their big brother - but I also dreaded the practical challenges of having two little tummies get hungry at the same time. The large nursing pillow from That’s Mine therefore quickly became a staple during those moments on the couch with a baby on each side. It was big enough for both babies to lie comfortably, and it could be tied around my back so it stayed exactly where it needed to be. Something so practical led to many cozy moments—and a wonderful 10-month breastfeeding journey.
