does any one else have twins or higher order multiples? If so I have started a group called, are you ready; Twins and Multiples. I am a creative genius. So come join my group. It will be fun.

Like its owner, my uterus isn’t good at multitasking, so no multiples here… but there have got to be others!

Sounds like a fun group. Like Becki, I am sure there are others out there, but sadly, not me.

I have multiples. Yes I do…. The twins are 2.5 years old and my oldest is 3.5 years old. All boys. Just now, one is having a wee tantrum in his room, while the other two are spreading ice cream around the back porch (we live in South Africa – it’s summer, thank goodness). I’ve kept a blog for the past 18 months… www.twinutero.org. I’d love to hear from more mothers of multiples. Must go now!

Yeah!! I am so glad that I started the group then. I have twin boys too. They are 20 months and into every thing. Just yesterday they got into a box filled with packing peanuts. I thought, hmm it’s not that hard to clean up. What ever. Never let them play with packing peanuts. It took me an hour to clean up and I am still finding them. Ahhh. But they had so much fun and I took a cute pic. I have been wanting to start a blog, I will check the site. I would title mine today A pulled back and vomit. Gross title, but it has been a long day. Yuck.

Count me in…I have 2 1/2 year old twin boys, too! I think there was a baby boom that year! I also have a 16 month old daughter, as well. I stayed home with my boys during my pregnancy and found out that I was not meant to be a sahm. I returned to work six weeks after having my daughter and now am working & started my own business. Yes, I am insane! I would love to know your thoughts on cards for your twins. I just started my own business creating cards for families with multiples, b/c I could not find anything for my boys to give to others. Have you experienced this challenge or simply not concerned yourself with cards? Thanks for any input.
I look forward to getting to know you ladies.

We received a lot of cards when the twins were born. Most were meant for a single baby but were modified by the sender. We did get a few twin cards. For their birthdays, we either get no cards or two cards, one for each boy. I think more cards for the birth of twins would be great. Cards for birthdays are tricky – most people don’t want to buy 2 cards but one card for 2 kids doesn’t seem right either. I think twin cards have to recognize that twins are individuals – who happen to be born on the same day. Maybe a single card with two openings – so there is a place for personal greeting for each kid, not just a general greeting for both. Just some quick thoughts…. Ali

Thanks, Ali. I agree with your sentiments. When I came up with the idea, originally it was more for me as a mom to be able to buy one card to give from the boys to the birthday kid. Cards are so expensive and by the time you buy a gift from each of the kids, the cards add another $6 + dollars. I had hoped I could find a juvenile card “from both of us” and found nothing. I have left the cards blank, because some people might like to use them as invites. It just allows more versatility. Especially, with mine being identical I have to remind people constantly that they are individuals and should have their “own” anything, not always set as a pair. I really appreciate the feedback. :D
