The Twinkies

What was good this week?

I’m only kind of quasi-AP; twins force a lot of compromise. There was that c-section, baby wearing hurts my back and I can only manage one for about 30 minutes and we only have a queen sized bed and F likes to kick so regular co-sleeping is problematic (though F was with us last night, at her own high pitched insistence).

B told me I like calling myself an AP parent because it sounds like I am in the advanced placement class. There are the General parents, then the Honors parents, and finally the AP parents. At the end of the first year we take an exam and if we score a three or higher we get college credit.

However, all that being said, I have put together a (very short) list of resources that are specifically for AP mothers who have twins, triplets, quads…. When a friend with twins started talking about Alfie Kohn and WASN’T on the Yahoo AP Multiples list, which is currently having a chapter by chapter discussion of his book, I realized maybe this was a good idea. My sad little list of resources are here, and I’ve put them in the sidebar as well. If you have any things that you think should be added, let me know.

• Yahoo AP Multiples List
• Mothering Multiples: Breastfeeding and Caring for Twins or More! (The MUST HAVE breastfeeding guide for multiple moms)
• Mothering Dot Commune Parenting Multiples Board

(I took down the “Good Stuff” list because it was a spam magnet - I’ll put the book list back up as a post when I get around to it.)
