Editorial Review: Product Description: 2nd Edition, updated and expanded! You've expanded (to the point where you've traded high-fashion maternity wear for your husband's XXL T-shirts), answered way too many questions about your babies' conception, and felt your belly bounce like jelly as your dynamic duo engaged in a boxing match. And the adventure has only begun! In her first humor-packed guide to raising twins, Elizabeth Lyons and her "multiples" sorority offer the wisdom of their combined experience in the form of practical shortcuts, real-world strategies, and sage advice. Topics include: - Preparing the Lair: Mandatory Gear for Babies and Mom - Twinproofing Your Marriage - Breastfeeding Strategies (and Why It s Okay if You Don t) - Unsolicited Advice: Stories from the Trenches - Getting Twins on a Schedule Preferably the Same One Lyons balances the day-to-day challenges of raising twins from double feedings to sleep deprivation to getting out while pretending everything's under control with a sanity-saving dose of camaraderie. By the end, you ll be smiling and shouting, "Thank heaven, I m not alone!" "Elizabeth Lyons' humorous yet realistic perspective provides new parents of twins with a great starting point from which to embark on that all-important first year." Dr. Bob Covert, Leading Chicagoland neonatologist "Elizabeth Lyons captures the universal discourse of sisterhood while guiding new mothers of twins through the first year."

 Rating:  - FantasticOut of all of the books that I purchased about twins, this is my favorite. It was really nice to read a book that did not try to sugar coat how difficult it is to raise twins, but at the same time let me know that i'm not alone either. This book gave you great tips and humor, too! I was pregnant with twins with my first (and only) pregnancy, So really had no idea what I was doing. This book let me know that it is hard, but you'll be able to get through it. Rating: - Looking through my window!!Being a new mother of twins, I did not have this book before the kids were born. I wish that I had, however starting to read the book 3months after their birth was just as funny, insightful and helpful. As I read not only each chapter, but even each paragraph, I felt as though the author had been looking into my daily life through my window. I even found myself reading lines to my husband, whom also connected to the book as well. So it is great for both parents!! Highly recommended and I have purchased ... Read More Rating: - Easy ReadThe best thing I like about this book is that it maintains an enthusiastic energy throughout. It approaches having twins like an adventure rather than an insurmountable task. I am a physician so I really appreciate the common sense practical advice. For instance, the fact that there is a waiting period for getting into the best daycare centers and it is okay to put ear plugs in, if both babies start screaming together to dull the noise! I liked it so much that I ordered the sequel "ready or not here we ... Read More Rating: - Great BookMy husband and I are expecting twin boys and I read this book while on bed rest and I couldn't put it down. I think this lady has lots of helpful hints and advise about pretty much everything that she lived through with twins. Rating: - Love, love, love this book!This book is a must read for parents of twins...read it while you are expecting. So much useful information...I have have had alot of success with the advice offered in this book...very practical advise...you will laugh while you read it and after your children have been born you will roll on the floor. |
