Hey! There is a thread about this place on my message board,
www.twinteresting.com/forums

I'm Brigitte and I have b/g twins, Joshua and Katerina, that were born
in October 2001, too. I also have a singleton, Isabella, that was born
in February 2004.

Recently, I became the proud administrator of a multiples message board
and it is taking a lot of my spare time but I like it. We are also in
the middle of a move to another province (BC to AB).

Eric,

Where do you live? We are about a half hour from Twinsburg and still have
never been to the Twins Festival. It is always so HOT! But I do want to
go...maybe this year the boys will enjoy it. I'm pretty sure mine could win
their age group for twins who look the least alike!

Gwen,
In previous posts you mentioned working with children. Are you a
pediatrician or child psychiatrist or something like that? I know you have
always given good advice, but I was not sure whether it was from experience
or work training or both.


I am a therapist by training, specializing in addiction and recovery issues. I
do a lot of 'family work' with clients...so I have 'hands on' and training for
working with children. Thanks for the compliment about 'good advice' !!

with her TWO sick kids)

I am glad you were able to have both vaginally. My second daughter
decided to go higher and no matter how much medicine to increase
my contractions they gave me, they still had to do a C-section after
an hour and a half. Here in Holland, they try to wait until the last moment.

Hi everyone,

I see most people have had the twins vaginally, have anyone have
one with a C-section and one vaginally like me?



I almost did! Here in Scotland, they like twins to be born in the
operating
theatre if possible, in case of complications. The second twin had a
dropping heart beat after the first was born and the doctors were getting
anxious. They gave me the anti sick liquid (sorry don't know the name)
and
laid me flat. I was quite distressed as I didn't want a C section and a
vaginal birth, so I pushed hard and she popped out!

I'm Paula (32) and DH is Neil (33). We have twin daughters, Olivia and
Cassandra (Cassie) who will be two in April, after being born 14 weeks
early. They are our miracle girls, after years of infertility and
several attempts at IVF. I'm now almost 17 weeks pregnant with a
singleton who was a complete and total surprise (got pg just 5 months
after weaning the girls) and blessing. I haven't been around much
because of "morning" (read: 24 hours/day, 7 days/week) sickness but am
feeling much better now :-)

and a little BOY due 7/4/05 :-)

Hi, everyone!! I'm Cindy (31) and DH is Randy (also 31). We have Ashlyn and
Allyson who are five and now halfway through Kindergarten!! Time flies!! And,
we also have Jenna who is now 19 months and thinks that she is just the
undergrown one of triplets!! I'm a SAHM and DH runs a business from home--
then, why isn't he here more??!! We live in a small town in Virginia very
close to where we both grew up. In fact, our kids will attend the same high
school that we did-- and three out of four of their grandparents did.

I've missed seeing everyone on the group! Thanks for getting everyone typing
again, Ellen!

Ellen,
Hi!! We live in Zelienople PA. You have to make the trip at
least once. All you have to do is register the twins and then i think
it is 2 or 3 dollars to get in for everyone else. Just remember to
take water too. If you do go, park at the Middle School, you will
just waste time (and Money) trying to get closer.

Where do you live?

My boys took second place for least alike the first year and 3rd place
the last 2 years so I am sure that we will see you in line if you go
this year!! Hope to meet you there
