I've had a nice view during the writing and publication of Twinspiration. I had the honor of witnessing some of the process through Cheryl's email updates. It was exciting- and now to see the fruits of her labor!
"Twinspiration: real life advice from pregnancy through the first year" is a newly released book written by one of our favorite columnists, Cheryl Lage. Speaking from experience, she lays out what to expect when you're expecting twins, and during their first doubly eventful year.
Perhaps you've just witnessed those two beating hearts during your ultrasound. Maybe your doctor was suspicious, his interest aroused by your doubly pregnant belly or especially high hcg levels? Perhaps it was a complete surprise?
Having one newborn is a lot of work, and the thought of one baby brings feelings of utter joy as well as bouts of feeling overwhelmed. With your pregnancy ups and downs multiplied by two, where do you go for guidance? How will you handle twins? What will raising twins really be like?
In "Twinspiration", Cheryl Lage provides insight into the lives of parents of twins, from the early stages of pregnancy through year one. She provides the necessary information on how to prepare for and handle the twin-specific situations that are bound to arise. Her book is also chock full of twin-parenting advice that will help you keep your sanity and your twins in check.
The more you and your partner are prepared for your "twin mommy/daddy" titles, the less apprehensive you can be about your new duties. You can look forward to your two bundles of joy, with the know-how and burgeoning confidence "Twinspiration" can give you.
If you're a new twin mommy, or a twin mommy to be, I highly recommend getting a copy of Twinspiration!
Here are examples of Cheryl's writing, to wet your chops- or whatever
