My guess is, as you read this, you have: a) recovered from the excitement of the news that you were going to be parents b) recovered from the excitement of the novelty of the first ultrasound c) not recovered from the discovery of two heartbeats d) now begun a desperate search for information, solace and some indication that others have trod the road ahead of you and survived!
The Gibbins manage to get right down to the nitty gritty practical step by step advice on the day to day management of twins...which is just what you want. However, the bigger picture of the joy and blessing of children is never forgotten. They have learned what to let go of and what to hold fast to
This gives this book the positive feeling of celebration of parenthood in all its challenges, big and small. You are left with the clear message that the enjoyment of the journey is as important as the destination (namely, survival!). If you learn to enjoy the ride one tenth as much as Annie and James by gleaning some tips from this book, you’re doing well
As the author of two parenting books and the father of three children (all born years apart and in no way twins or triplets!), I take my hat off to Jamie and Annie and all you multi-parents. All the best on your journey. (You’ll need it!)
