Allie Stolnis
Hi, I’m Allison, and I’m the proud mom of beautiful 7-year-old twin girls. About 10 years ago, I moved from Philadelphia to Texas, though I did have a brief stint in South Dakota between moves (which, to be honest, I try to block out!).
For 12 years, I worked for a skilled nursing company and was one of the pioneers of working from home before it became the norm. However, when I was in my third trimester with my girls, the company was sold, and all corporate-level employees were laid off. As we all know, the third trimester is the most exhausting and uncomfortable, so I took that as a sign from God that I needed to rest!
I had the privilege of going through IUI to conceive my twins, and while I felt incredibly blessed to be pregnant, I honestly didn’t enjoy the experience. Between the severe nausea, headaches, gestational diabetes, carpal tunnel, and extreme swelling, I joke that God gave me two because He knew I couldn’t handle being pregnant again! But despite it all, I recognize that I had it easier than many, and I’m grateful for the experience.
My girls were born six weeks early and spent a month in the NICU at Cook Children’s. The night they were born was unforgettable—I delivered them at 2:08 AM and 2:15 AM, with just five pushes in total. It was much easier than I ever expected. By 3 or 4 AM, they were in their little incubators, on their way to Cook Children’s NICU without me. Since I didn’t have a C-section, I was able to be discharged that same day so I could join them. I’m forever grateful to the doctors, nurses, and NICU staff who cared for my babies. They are true superheroes, and I owe so much to them.
I’ve been part of the Fort Worth Moms of Multiples group since I was 18 weeks pregnant with my girls. Through this group, I’ve met some of my closest friends, who I now consider family. This community will always hold a special place in my heart, and I love connecting with new moms.
