(Nick is 23)

Narrated by Abigail Carmody

For the last several months, I've been feeling really on edge. I've been so nervous about Nick and this whole paternity test thing with Adrienne. A few days after the baby was born, Nick received the results and found that he'd been excluded as the father. These tests are supposed to be completely accurate and I couldn't be more relieved.

Narrated by Audrey Lachance

Mum has always been a bit of a tomboy, so she was surprised when I said I wanted to take up ballet. I've always been interested in it in the back of my mind - Grandpa used to dance when he was much younger, so I guess I sort of picked it up from him. I've been practising a lot this year.

I never pictured myself having four kids but lately, I've been thinking I might even want a fifth! That probably sounds crazy, when I've already got a 21 year-old, plus a 5 year-old and 3 year-old twins.

Narrated by Jesse Carmody

As much as Abigail and I love our kids, I think having three under three has put us off the idea of any more, at least for a little while. It took us so long to conceive Mitchell so we weren't expecting her to get pregnant so quickly the second time around. Then we found out we were having twins, we were really taken by surprise.

You say it's your birthday, Summer 2021

Evan and Ione have only been married for three months and already they're facing a move and the impending birth of twins! Yes, that's right - come winter, Evan and Ione will be the proud parents of two new babies!

They had hoped to be able to squeeze a crib in somewhere in their tiny house, at least for a little while but a new house has now become a necessity. One crib might have fit in their current house but two definitely won't!
