I’m Having Twins - What Do I Need?
Posted by Babies - 04/06/10 at 05:06 amPeople often ask me, after they realize that my husband and I have raised three great kids, how did you do it? In hindsight, it wasn’t easy. Since neither of us had any siblings growing up, we had a little more to learn about parenting. With help from our parents, excellent parenting books, online resources and the best teacher of them all - experience we got through it all. So, if you are expectant parents get ready for the ride of your life. This journey will be amazing and worthwhile.
Just a couple of days ago, I went shopping to toys R us with one of our younger friends who are expecting twins. Even though, our kids are older we remember everything like it were yesterday. Besides the bare necessities, we were also very familiar with some of the fun but important stuff when it comes to keeping your little angels happy. These three were:
1) Delta canton convertible crib
They had just started out looking at cribs and were shocked at the prices of convertible ones versus the regular ones. Its easier to understand the price differences when you consider the longevity of a convertible crib. Most kids will outgrow the regular crib by the time they reach 2 years of age. What happens is that you go shopping for single beds now to fit your growing toddlers needs. There will be years where you kids will grow very quickly and those smaller beds will not be enough. The perfect convertible crib will be there through the different phases of your baby’s life.
2) Levana digital wireless video baby monitor
As all caring parents know that there is a certain peace of mind you get when you know your baby is safe and hopefully sound asleep in his or her room. One way of maintaining your sanity would be keep checking on your baby every few minutes. Fortunately we can get our peace of mind while not overindulging our baby. The ideal solution - a video baby monitor.
3) Best double jogging strollers
It wasn’t too late when people realized the need for compact prams they needed for their strolls. If you ever wondered, thats how the word ’stroller’ came about. The strollers became collapsible, more lightweight and came with plenty of bells and whistles. These days with the super-busy lives that all of us need fitting in time to exercise can be a hassle. The latest and greatest invention - jogging strollers - come to the fray.
