Pregnant with twins? Need a funny, strategies-filled, up-to-date expecting twins book that details exactly what you need as you embark upon the first year? This book has been supporting expecting and new twin parents for over a decade.

“Smart, funny and refreshingly real advice that will change your life.” -Hollie Gyarmati, Designer & Mom of 5 (including 2 sets of twins)

You’ve expanded (and traded high-fashion maternity wear for your husband’s XXL T-shirts), answered way too many questions about your babies’ conception, and endured your dynamic duo’s in-utero boxing matches. Just think, the adventure has only begun!

In the 3rd edition of her bestselling, humor-packed guide to the first year with 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 Twins Strategies (and why it’s okay if you don’t)
– Handling Unsolicited Advice about Raising Twins: Stories from the Trenches
– Getting Twins on a Schedule – Preferably the Same One

Lyons balances the day-to-day challenges that come during the first year of twins—from double feedings to sleep deprivation to getting out while pretending to have everything under control—with a sanity-saving dose of camaraderie. By the end, you’ll be smiling, relieved, and professing, “Thank heaven, I’m not alone!”

“The advice you need in the short, funny format your sleep-deprived mind can absorb.”
– Lisa Earle McLeod, bestselling author of Forget Perfect

“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.”
