Stay at home dad of twins...

My wife and I had (b/g) twins 9 months ago.

Through a series of events I am now a full time stay at home dad. I have learned a few things along the way that may be helpful if you and yours who are in the throws of parenting newborn and infant twins.

I was surprised to find very little information about how to organize our lives prior to having our "littles." My hope is that you won't have to "figure _____ it out on your own." My hope is that my experience might help you think through how you might set things up or figure things out...

I am a better speaker than a typist, so I will be shooting video and uploading them to this site... I wanted to "see" how to set up a diaper "station," I wanted to "see" how to flash pasteurize donated breast milk, I wanted to "see" how to wear two babies at the same time to go for a walk (so I didn't lose my mind with Cabin Fever)... there are many things I hope to show you, so that you may "see" how I do (have done) various "things" for the care of twins...

Please note that I am only a dad, not a professional, I do not have a degree in childhood development, or a special badge that signifies that I know what I'm doing, I'm simply a dad of twins...

I imagine there are many different ways of doing the things I'll try to record here. I hope that you and yours apply some of the ideas and make them your own. I also will recommend products that helped us along the way, as well as "secret recipes" to use as a first resort (unlike our "last resort" experiences).
