Welcome
Welcome to Twinspirations! I'm Kyah! I am a mum, wife, paramedic, and the owner/creator of Twinspirations; a place where we create beautiful handmade, personalised, baby products and decor. I have always loved designing and creating beautiful spaces for our children in their nurseries/bedrooms and play spaces. I love all things craft and am so excited to share some of these beautiful and personalised items. The next section will tell you more about our story, our name and why Twinspirations is so important to us. Trigger warning for the next section <3
The Full Story
Expecting
After what feels like a lifetime of wanting a baby, we finally had the news we were expecting. Not long after that, it was confirmed we were blessed with twins. Through a very stressful and unpredictable pregnancy we heard the words no parents should hear "I'm sorry, but there is no heartbeat on either of your girls".
They say when you're pregnant that you're "expecting". That is exactly what happens, we were expecting two little lives, to love, to hold, to care for, to build and share memories with. We were expecting a lifetime!
I can't even begin to explain what it feels like to lose a baby. We lost our girls whole lives, we lost the chance to watch them grow, we lost the chance to make memories with them. What colour eyes would they have? Would they look like their big sisters Harlow and Kalari, or their little siblings Jarrah and Koah? Our children lost their sisters.
We weren't expecting their lives to be cut so short; we weren't expecting to lose them, we weren't expecting life to go on without them.
Our baby girls were born sleeping on the 15th of July 2021 - on their daddy's birthday. My big 3-year-olds taught me a new kind of love.
Through our experience, there have been some things that have made the birth and milestones since more bearable. One of the biggest things that helped with our birth was the cuddle cot. A cuddle cot allows grieving families like ours to spend precious time with their babies. Those precious moments were every minute counts. These cots are $6500 and that is our goal. Through donating 10% of ALL of our sales and with donations we are aiming to purchase and donate a cuddle cot in honour of our girls.
Cuddle Cots
A cuddle cot is a cot with a cooling system that lays beneath the baby within a bassinet. It enables families to keep their babies close to them and spend precious time with them before saying goodbye. After a baby passes away, there is a short window of time for a family to create memories. The cuddle cots extend this brief period of time.
Cuddle cots are such a gift to grieving families. The $6500 goal is to cover the costs of the cooling unit, shnuggle basket, stand, mattress, linen, embroidery, personalised plaques and engraving, transport and administration costs. Any extra funds are used towards Bears of Hope objectives.
In loving memory of Evelyn & Amelia Dennis.
