You've expanded (to the point where you've traded high-fashion maternity wear for your husband's XXL T-shirts), answered way too many questions about your babies' conception, and felt your belly bounce like jelly as your dynamic duo engaged in a boxing match. And the adventure has only begun!

In her first humor-packed guide to raising 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 Baby and Mom
• Twinproofing Your Marriage
• Breastfeeding Strategies (and Why It's Okay if You Don't)
• Unsolicited Advice: Stories from the Trenches
• Getting Twins on a Schedule: Preferably the Same One

Lyons balances the day-to-day challenges of raising twins---from double feedings to sleep deprivation to getting out while pretending everything's under control---with a sanity-saving dose of camaraderie. By the end, you'll be smiling and shouting, "Thank heaven, I'm not alone!"
