About

Welcome to Mills Muisies. 

"Muisies" is the pet name my husband has for Me and the twins. The pet name started out as "meisies" which means girls, but changed to "muisies" (because it sounds the same) which means small mice.

This is a personal blog about my journey. From finding out I was expecting twins through to my every day struggles and joys of being a twin mom. 
All the looks that I get when I want to try something against what society does because I personally think it is better for the twins, through to the support and advice I get from total strangers.

I am not a writer. I have never had a diary. 

I hope to help other moms that might feel the same as I do, but think they are alone. 
I have learnt a great many things so far and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others.

I cannot wait to learn more and share my experience with you...

10 Medicine cabinet essentials for toddlers.

So it has been more than a year since my last post. What can I say? Life is busy, and when you keep on putting something off, you end up not doing it at all! A lot has happened in the last year. I am not even sure what to tell and what not. I have become an expert in pediatric medicine because of all the time the twins have been ill. Luckily, thus far, they have not needed to be admitted to hospital. So I thought I should compile a top 10 list of medicine I would suggest always having on hand if you have toddlers and younger. These are typically things that you will be able to get without a prescription. I tend to look for medicine that does not contain too much alcohol or sugar. Here is my list in no particular order. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor or pharmacist. This is just a list of things that I found, with experience, I constantly needed this far in my kids life. So obviously, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using anything on my list. 1. Glycerin Glycerin

5 Weeks of Uncertainty

Today I am very thankful that it is not a year ago this time. We made it to 2 weeks at home, alone, and everyone was still alive. Well, I didn't feel alive, but I was... After the wonder birth of the twins, I was wheeled back to my room. The twins were taken to NICU as they only weighed 1.79kg and 1.75kg. Their  AGPAR scores were 9/10 and 8/10 and they did not need any oxygen, so it was purely because of their weight. I started having more difficulty breathing. My husband called the nurses and they came to check my blood pressure. They walked out of the room calmly, but shortly after came back telling me that they were moving me to ICU for observation. After that, everything became a bit cloudy. I remember a doctor coming to me while in ICU. He was cutting into my neck to add a central line and it burned like crazy. He tried to add another internal IV to my right arm but didn't manage to get a vain. He then found one in my right arm. I remember really struggling to breat

The start of all things

This is my first attempt at writing a blog. I have never been a good writer, so bear with me. I am starting this blog on suggestion from a few friends and family... When my husband and I got married in November 2013 we decided to wait at least a year before considering having children. Much to our surprise when we found out on our 6 month anniversary that I was indeed pregnant. We decided to tell most of our loved ones so that we have more people to pray for us and that we could have a greater support structure from the start (and I suck at keeping secrets). I struggled for weeks to find an affordable yet reputable OB/GYN and after speaking to a friends mom, she got me an appointment at a fantastic doctor. We were both extremely excited and equally nervous for our first appointment. As I was laying on the not-so-comfortable bed/table at the OB/GYN, seeing the first images of a little peanut brought tears to both our eyes. I think a bit more because of the reality shock than of joy
