Tomorrow they are six.

It’s easy to remember exactly where I was this time six years ago…

Twenty-nine weeks pregnant, sitting in hospital waiting for the second round of ouchy, stingy, steroid shots.

I still remember the voice on the phone early that morning – “There are changes in Twin One’s brain, come in now, the babies will be born tomorrow”.

But this tomorrow they will turn six. They beat the odds of TTTS and they’ll be six.

Today they are five, tomorrow they are six, and I still remember.

Kate is a mum of four, with a degree in early childhood education, and many years experience as an early years teacher and parent educator.
Kate created picklebums to help parents and teachers find lots of play-based activities and printables for kids aged 2-10.
