2007GuideToTheFirstYear

TWINS Magazine asked TWINS Message Board members to
recall the first year with their twins and complete the statement,
"I never could have made it without..." Of the hundreds of replies,
the most frequent and most important...No. 1...was a "DH,"
darling—or dear)—husband! No. 2 was "TWINS Magazine!"
A sampling of quotable replies:
● Two bouncer seats, “Transitions” CD of sounds from the womb,
advice from experienced mothers of twins, meals from co-workers,
and the love and support of family and friends.
Alicia
● My mom, who lives 70 miles away and only went home on the
weekends; couldn’t have made it without her love and support.
Trish
● “Fathers Lullaby’s” CD, bath seats, snap-on car seat covers so
babies would not get cold and I wouldn’t lose the blankets, meals
cooked for us by friends even once a week, crockpot to thaw
breastmilk quickly.
Carol
● A wonderful and very helpful older daughter, an encouraging
grandma, infant bathtub, a double stroller, baby monitor,
two floor gyms, two bouncer seats, one cradle, pacifiers, two
swings.
Angie
● Two swings, my mom, disposable diapers, pacifiers, two
Exersaucers, a double stroller, my mother-in-law, my rockerrecliner,
those who provided huge wardrobes to my babies, and
the TWINS Magazine Message Board.
Tiffany
● My dh, my sister’s advice, this board, naps, bouncer seats, restaurants,
a double stroller, friend who cleaned house for us, Tiny
Love animals and the Gymini play mat.
Laurie
● My dh; two bouncer chairs; a stockpile of disposable diapers;
a wipe warmer; dishwasher; swing; Exersaucers; a double
stroller; take-out food; my best friend Lori who gave me love,
support and lots of hand-me-downs; Baby Einstein videos.
Jennifer
● The TWINS Message Board, two battery-operated swings, sea
waves nature sounds machine, crockpot, Hamburger Helper, hot
showers at 3 a.m. to unwind, Mountain Dew, my dh, my warped
sense of humor, vibrating bouncer seats.
