Moms of multiples tell it like it is

“Don’t Push me cause I’m close to the edge, I’m trying not to lose my head” – GrandmasterFlash Life with twinfants in the house is HARD. Most of the time I am so busy trying to maintain the peace, that I’m not aware that we’re raising twins. If I were, I think it would wear [...]

Note from Jenna:  Here is Eb’s first post.  We’re having some technical issues, so I’m posting for her. We are coming close to what seems in our world a whole big deal. The twins first birthday.

I was supposed to post this yesterday but it was delayed by two little girls with runny noses trying to use up their body weight in Kleenex,  a playschool field trip, and an after-hours visit from the plumber. Two years ago, I was very pregnant with my twin daughters, and considering the possibility of Christmas [...]

They suggested I contribute something about having a toddler while pregnant with twins and while caring for newborn twins.  Here are some of the strategies we used to get our son prepared for the new babies.

Last year my baby girls celebrated their FIRST Halloween.  It was their very first holiday ,and y’all, we L-O-V-E holidays around here!  Initially I hadn’t planned anything fun or even a costume for my twins because they were due November 12.  I figured they’d come a little early, but September 4?!  I love Halloween- love [...]

I attended an event for my Moms of Twins club this weekend, a brunch welcoming new members from the past year.  Obviously, that meant a lot of moms with young infants, and even some who are still pregnant. I ended up in a conversation with three moms whose babies were under 4 months old.  Oh, [...]

I wrote this post in my head one night when I was getting dinner for my girls (7 months old twins) and their 2.5 year old brother, by myself.  It was one of those nights when things just weren’t going well. I reheated my dinner three times before I got to eat it, which was [...]

My son and daughter were born in May of 2007. And as predicted, that first year with twins was exhilarating and brutal. I chronicled sleep-less nights, nursing woes, hip dysplasia x’s 2 and 12-month-long-reflux over hundreds of blog posts. I cheered on other MoM’s whose little ones were sleeping through the night. I read all [...]
