ABOUT MONO MONO MOMMY

Hi, my name is Kristyne and I love to write in my free time, so I've started my own blog. I am married with a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful sons, 2 are here with me on earth and 1 lives in heaven. I have been given a tough journey with many ups and downs, but I believe in my heart that I was put in this position for a reason. I may not know yet what that position is, or why this has happened to my family, but I know that I am suppose to talk about it. I am suppose to tell my story and share my experiences with other mothers. And I know I am here to help others in need of strength, advice, and maybe even wisdom. But what I do know for sure is that my sweet angel Parker is going to carry me through this journey and give me the strength to carry forward and be strong for my family.  He will guide me and help me along the way when I struggle and when I am at my lowest. And if you want to, follow me along this journey. I can use the company :).

A BRIEF STORY ABOUT WHY I STARTED THIS BLOG.

I had twin boys on November 24, 2014. They were mono/mono boys. Their names are Parker Alexander and Harrison Lee. I had them at 31 weeks and 6 days. My pregnancy was brutal and very high risk. I was in and out of the hospital consistently for 3 months. The doctors told me at 20 weeks that I had a rare twin pregnancy and that I had a 50% chance of losing 1 or both of my sons. They said the type of pregnancy I had, happened to 1% of all twin pregnancies. I was totally freaked out, but I had hope and confidence in the doctors. Throughout my pregnancy, everything was surprisingly great with my boys. Against all the odds, they were fighting to be here. Ultrasounds, NSTs, the doctor visits, they were great, no worries, no concerns. Now looking back, I am so honored to have been able to see my boys all the time through the ultrasounds, playing and hugging each other. I was so lucky for all the time spent with them. Hearing and seeing their heartbeats was both a soothing and amazing feeling. My son Parker, Baby A, was perfect. He was beautiful in every way possible. His tiny hands and fingers, his little toes. Perfect. He was born at 3 lbs 11oz. Very tiny, but so strong. He fought so hard. He stayed alive in my tummy long enough to save his little brother Harrison. He was a warrior to say the least. Parker passed away on a Friday night. It was November 30, 2014 at 12:30am in mine and my husbands arms. He was just so perfect, but his tiny brain wasn't. He passed away from a severe brain injury due to cord compression that occured in utero, 12 hours before my scheduled c-section that was to be on November 25, 2014. His twin brother Harrison survived, healthy, no complications. He is a miracle to be here. We are so lucky. Thank you Parker for protecting and saving your brother. You are our little warrior. Now here I am. My new life. My life forever changed. And my new journey is now in front of me. And I know I am here for a reason. And it's an important one at that.
