A MUST-HAVE FOR NEW TWINS PARENTS
Smart, funny and refreshingly real advice that will change your life.
-Hollie Gyarmati, Author of The Mother of All Makeovers, designer & mom of 5 (including two sets of twins)
Seventeen years ago, Elizabeth Lyons wrote the bestselling, side-splittingly funny guide to managing twins in the first year. That book stayed at the top of the charts for over a decade. Since then, times have changed-and so has navigating Year One with twins (or any baby, for that matter).
Holy Sh*t...I'm Having Twins! features the very best of Lyons' hard-won advice, updated and expanded for today's new twins parents.
If raising one newborn was a workout (and it is), raising two (or more) is like competing in an Ironman...backward...while wearing banana slippers. Well-meaning friends will try to prepare you for the endurance event that lies ahead, but only a seasoned parent, writer, and mom of twins (who has three additional kids to boot) can do it with the honest, belly-laugh humor and tried-and-true proven strategies you don't even know you need (yet).
Topics include:
★ Money-Saving Secrets to What You Really Need, What you Need Two of, and What You Can Skip Altogether
★ How to Stay Connected to the Person Who Got You Into This Mess
★ Breastfeeding Twins (Two Mouths + Two Breasts = Not as Simple As It Sounds)
★ Bottlefeeding: Why It's Okay and Won't Thwart Their Admission to Harvard
★ Fielding Unsolicited Advice and Questions: Stories from the Trenches
★ Getting Twins on a Schedule - Preferably the Same One
★ How to Return to Work (and Speak Coherently and Intelligently While There)
If you're overwhelmed, terrified, tired of people lamenting how hard one baby is, and wondering if you'll ever shower in peace again, you're in the right place.
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.
- Dr. Bob Covert, leading Chicagoland neonatologist
Elizabeth Lyons captures the universal discourse of sisterhood while guiding new mothers of twins through the first year.
- Kathy Voit, RNC, Labor and Delivery nurse
