My husband and I had our twins last year, and it’s been such a whirlwind ever since. We really weren’t expecting to have twins, but it’s been such a warming experience as we have come to understand and learn more about them as individuals. We’ve had to make many changes around the house to make sure everything is safe and secure for two little ones running around, especially now that they are walking more and more everyday. We quickly learned that propane space heaters were not the way to go for their nursery. Our central heater works really well, but the vents in the nursery leave cold spots in the room where their cribs are. My girlfriend suggested getting a space heater for the room and just leaving it on the opposite side and pointing it towards the cribs so it wouldn’t be too direct on them. We didn’t really do any research as to what type of space heater would be the best and safest, and I still beat myself up for it. We ended up choosing a propane space heater because it was a less expensive option, and we had to cut corners after having the twins to make our finances work. The first night with the new heater seemed to go really well, but on the second night we had such a disaster occur. The room was not well ventilated because I forgot to open the window slightly, and the oil from the heater somehow caught fire and began smoking while we were sleeping. We heard the smoke detector go off and we ran into the nursery to see the heater in flames and smoke filled the room. I ran to open the window and grab my babies, while my husband put the fire out.
