Synopsis

A MUST-HAVE BOOK AND GREAT GIFT FOR NEW OR EXPECTANT PARENTS OF TWINS!

"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 was a bestseller 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 (as well as that of fellow twin moms and dads), updated and expanded for today’s new and expectant parents of twins, triplets, and more. 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 strategies you don't even know you need (yet).

Topics include:

★ Money-Saving Secrets to Acquiring 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)

★ How to NOT Return to Work, If That's Your Choice (and Speak Coherently and Intelligently to People at the Grocery Store)

If you’re overwhelmed, terrified, tired of people lamenting how hard just one baby is, and wondering if you’ll ever shower in peace again, you’re in the right place.

Settle in and let Elizabeth and her crew provide you with the reassurance you're craving.
