Hi, I’m Mike. Before moving on to whatever reason you came here for, there are some things I think you should know first. There are many reasons for the inception of this blog, however, there are two that stand out that I will address below. I also want to mention that I am NOT a doctor, lawyer, financial expert, and at the point of this entry, a parent. I am merely a dad-to-be.
First, after a lot of searching and a lot of deep dives into rabbit holes, I found limited information on becoming a DAD to twins (or more). I acknowledge the resources that do exist (some will be mentioned and credited throughout my writing), and I acknowledge attempts made at sharing the wisdom, trials and tribulations that come with the journey. I imagine many of these attempts were squashed due to the nature of the topic, thank you all for taking a shot at sharing and I hope your families are doing well.
Second, the journey moves so fast that I notice myself forgetting milestones, both small and large. From what I gather and am frequently told, it all happens in a blink of an eye and then off to college they go. I thought this would be a good place for me to slow down and appreciate the path that leads to the future and a place for me to reflect upon whenever I find myself forgetting or under appreciating how we got there.
Everything I write is mine or will be credited to whoever I borrow it from. Anything I say or review will be my thoughts as they are. My writing will probably be more reactionary than thought out. If you stick around, please give feed back and share. Enjoy!
While I assume some of my thoughts might apply to dads of more than twins, my writing is based off my experience in the twin realm. To those of you with triplets and beyond, I can only imagine the superior level you are operating on. Whether you just learned of your twin (or multiple) pregnancy, you are rapidly approaching the due date of your twins (or multiples), newly a dad of twins (or multiples), or a fifty year veteran of parenting twins (or multiples), you are in a mighty minority. If it hasn’t already, let that sink in. You are joining or already a part of an elite fraternity, you are a Dad2.
