In January 2006, my husband and I not only found out that we were pregnant but we were pregnant with twins. As we left the ultrasound appointment, we experienced every emotion possible. We were not just traveling down the road of parenthood again but we were embarking on a journey of the unknown and it was a little scary. However, I came home and began researching all the "places" we would be going on our new journey and found support. Since parenting multiples is quite different than parenting a singleton, I have compiled a listing of topics, websites, advice pages, and support groups that were resourceful to me when I began the journey into the wonderful world of multiples. As you look through the information posted here, you will begin to see that parenting multiples does have its challenges but the rewards are double blessings!
