Twin moms
So… if you found this page, you’re probably a twin mom or pregnant with twins! Congratulations, you’re in the twin club. Only twin moms know the truth, the good the bad and the ugly. Every day with twins can bring a smile and every day can bring you to tears! If you know me and know that I’ve had 3 sets of consecutive twins, I’m here to say, you’re not alone! Everything you feel is valid and nobody ever really plans on having twins. Letting go of control and finding the humor in life with twins is my best advice! Here are some fun and interesting twin questions, polls and photos to show you that you’re definitely not alone. Twins are special and so are you for being their momma. Embrace the relationship and role and take everything (especially the newborn months) one minute at a time.

How far along were you when you delivered?
I just added this twin mom question to the FAQ section. Can you believe people ask me this?

Does the father of your twins nap?
My husband and I are not nappers (with the exception of when I was double pregnant). I asked this of fellow twin moms and was so surprised at some of the responses. My main takeaway though was that most of the men and women who napped were nappers their whole lives… in young adult life and after twins! Some other twin moms were particularly annoyed if they felt like they did most of the child care and housework and didn’t nap but their partner was a napper!

What do I really need two of?
I have been asking this since the day I found out I was having two the first time around! Sometimes it’s still hard to know… we just bought a second “ups truck” because they decided that was the best truck and kept fighting over it. I usually don’t but this time I caved and got a second one exactly the same and now they’re so sweet and give each other the other truck.
NEED TWO:
Car Seats
Bouncy Chairs
high chairs
cribs (6 months)
everything feeding/eating related (bottles, cups, spoons, plates, etc)
Riding toys
DON’T NEED TWO:
bassinet
swing
pack n play
boppy
bathtub
baby monitor
play pen
Double stroller
Wagon
Water table
Let me know if you have any other items that you think are a definite need two or not! :)

What is your favorite application for newborn twins and twin pregnancy?
I used the What to Expect app (linked below) but I’m going to do a little more research and ask some twin moms what else they love and add to this.
