Holy Sh*t...I'm Having Twins! by Elizabeth Lyons

GOT NEWBORN TWIN BABIES?

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. Ready or Not...Here We Come The REAL Experts' Guide to the First Year with Twins, which stayed at the top of the charts 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, updated and expanded for today's twin moms and dads.

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 proven strategies you need to stay sane.

You're exhausted. You're enormous. And if you have to answer one more question about exactly how you conceived these miracles, heads will roll. In Holy Sh*t...I'm Having Twins , 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:
★ Money-Saving Secrets to 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)

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

The advice you need in the short, funny format your sleep-deprived mind can absorb.
