Hello Beautiful LWB ladies,
I’m happy to be on the blog today sharing a little bit about me! I’m Lauren Scurry and am mother to 10-month fraternal twin girls, Eleanor and Maggie. I am married to my best friend, Tom (who has an unhealthy love for Aggie Football), and we live in Round Rock. I met Tom while attending Texas A&M in 2003, and we got married in 2007. We spent our first year of marriage living in a small town in west Texas for my husband’s job. (I always say that my greatest marriage advice for newly-weds is to spend your first year living in a tiny remote town you’ve never heard of hours away from even a Target, share a cell-phone and a car, and save every penny you can! Talk about a marriage boot camp!) After that adventure, we moved back on the grid to Dallas and then finally to Round Rock in 2012. I worked in the mental health field for several years before I went back to school in 2010 for Speech Pathology. I work part-time as a Speech Therapist with a pediatric home-health company called Therapy 2000 and love it!
As far my journey into motherhood…well…it has been a long one, full of tears , heartache, smiles and hope! I’ve had multiple miscarriages, D&Cs, uterine surgery, a rescue cerclage, and then finally, by the grace of God, gave birth to twin girls on December 10, 2013 at 34 weeks. Eleanor was 3 lbs 12 oz and Maggie was 4 lbs; 1oz. They were in the NICU for 15 days, and we got to finally bring them home on Christmas Day! All that to say…I know the feeling of loss and loneliness related to miscarriage…I know how scary and overwhelming it is to have a preemie baby, and I have experienced the roller-coaster of emotions that go into being a NICU mom. It’s been a dark, scary, and lonely road I’ve traveled, but I just have to say that God is good! Even during those dark times when I felt so alone He was there, and He heard my (literal) cries….and I have two miracle babies that remind me of that everyday!
I’m looking forward to sharing more about my story and the ins and outs of being a twin mom later on the blog. However, in the meantime I’m an open book so if you’d like to talk or hear more about my experiences with miscarriage, twin pregnancy, bedrest/cerclage, unplanned C-section, being a NICU mom, or having a preemie, I would love that. I am also open to talk to anyone who may have concerns about their child’s speech and language development, and even feeding issues. I may not have all the answer but I can definitely point you in the right direction. My email address is laurenscurry@gmail.com or you can just send me a message on FB.
I am so blessed to be a part of this LWB group and excited to serve on the Leadership Team! Raising a baby (x2) definitely takes a village and you ladies are my village!
XOXO, Lauren
