Pam and Donna met for tea and discussed why the twin group was not sufficient to meet their needs. Essentially, they discovered that mothers of high multiples had little time to do things, found it difficult to maintain relationships, and could not even make it out of their homes. Eventually, they decided that other mothers of multiples would benefit from the same type of friendship and support connection that they found in each other. Thus, they decided to found the KPMM organization and meet the needs of all mothers of multiples. Their main goal was to form a network of families to offer support in coping with the challenges that come with parenting multiples.

Were BestFriends in love

Selenas P.O.V.
[Hello, my name is Selena Marie Gomez, im 16 yrs
old and i live in NYC with my bestfriends,brother
and cousin, while all of our parents are back in
texas to busy with careers so they send us money
and give us what we want so we stay in NY and
leave them the alone lol. So i have a big
brother and his name is Taylor (taz) he's 17.
Then theres my cousin, demi lovato and shes 16,
we live together along with the jonas family.
Theres Kevin and he's the oldest, then theres
joe and taylor (tay) and they are twins, then
theres miley. But theres one Jonas who is my
favorite of all and he has to be the most caring,
charming, adorable and loving guy out there. His
name is Nicholas Jerry Jonas, he's mileys twin,
and kevin,joe and tay's brother. He is most
importantly my best friend.Ever since 8th grade.
We still lived in Texas and i remember he was
this big bowl of sunshine, he always had a smile
on his face, he was always laughing and i remember
in math class we started to get to know each other
then we started poking each others sides or our
stomachs, which made us giggle or jump and i
remember in Bible he sat behind me and he would
always put his feet on my chair and it would
always touch my butt and bother me, so he'd
continue to do it and kick me a little which made
me laugh. Those are the memories i will never
forget. He would go to the end of the earth to
make sure i was ok. Through every bad boyfriend
and every time i had my period and acted like a
total "female dog" he still loved me. I remember
one time, i was so sick when i had my period
that he went to the drug store and bought me
midol and pads, he didnt care if everyone in line
was laughing at him. I love that boy to death.
he is one AMAZING BOY and when he goes away on
your i dont know how im gona breath he's my air
with out him i have no air.]

Nicks P.O.V.
{yo, im NIcholas Jerry Jonas but you can call me
Nick J. Im 16 years old and I live in NYC with my
friends and sibilings. My parents are back in
Texas and we rarely see them, except for when we
have a meeting with our record label. Im in a
band called the “jonas brothers” its me, kevin
and joe. We have sold over 12 million albums and
have tons of girls always chasing us. I love my
fans but thers only one girl who matters. Her name
is Selena Marie Gomez, her name is so amazing
and her beauty is astonishing. Shes an actress
and a singer, she plays on a show called Wizards
of Waverly Place, which shoots here in NYC and
ive known her since 8th grade back in Texas. We
would chase each other through the hallway,
poking each other. I would run to the end of the
hallway, pick her up, poke, her and she would
giggle, then i would kiss her neck and she would
giggle more. Now everytime i see her, i pick her
up,poke her and kiss her neck. It bothers her
boyfriends, but i dont care at all. Because one
day she will be my girl. Shes smart and talented
and very loving. Im going on tour in 5 weeks when
school ends and im really going to miss her. Being
a celebrity is tough when your in love, its tough
to hide, it from the paparrazzi but its even
tougher to hide it from the person your in love
with.I dont know how im going to breath without
her she is my air. without her i have no air. She
completes my heart. i wana show her i love her so
much.}

being a great mum is the hardest thing in the world, do I do this or do I do that. you are trying to carve out a future so you and your children can be OK, and there is no shame in that, infact you are to be commended for the choice you have made.

on leaving the twins in the morning, try to think of sometime down the track where there will be time to spend with them and great things you can do together,

If further down the track you can reduce the hours you work that will be a good thing but for now you are doing all you can remember that.

if you build solid foundations now later can be better. good on you for having a go

Ok I have read so many google articles about how Kate is a such a bad mom. people are attacking her for her choices. ie: The television program. They are attacking her for her choice to work now. Would they rather another welfare bum like octomom? Jon b.itches about staying at home with the kids. the way I see it. If you can contribute to their "being" you can contribute to their upbringing. Everyone puts Kate out there as the bad parent. Have you seen how short tempered Jon can get? He is reacting to the public eye negatively. He should have thought about all the publicity and "celebrity status" they were bound to receive before filming the first season. I am not siding with either. but i do think it wrong of tabloids to attack Kate for her parenting decisions. Since when does writing a couple books and doing book tours make someone a bad mom? You see the love she has for her children. Also as for the cheating allegations against Jon, pictures are worth a thousand words. Just being a boy and denying. You are a father! time to act like a man. Also ppl are attacking Kate for her spa visits. Hell with 8 kids she needs it. She stayed at home for what, the first 3 years with the kids? She deserves time away. just as Jon does, however from what I’ve seen with the show Jon seems to take off when things start getting tough. that’s when he decides to go away for a little while. I feel kind of sorry for him too though. he was only 22 when he got married. The twins born when he was 23. he didn’t get to have his 20’s. early 20’s. he seems like he regrets it now. you can see it in his face. Yes, he loves his children but I think he regrets not the bad decisions he has made but some other ones. what do you think of all this?
I too feel sorry for the kids. i grew up in a broken home and i pray to god that those beautiful won’t have to. i hope jon and kate can work things out. i think kate is unhappy because of her marriage and not her life in general. i believe jon is the unhappy one. you see how much kate loves jon. but you also see how hurt and betrayed she is
Nicole: children should always come first

TO be honest, I think that though Kate Gosslin loves her children, she is hardened and bitter woman.
She takes care of her kids, yes, she loves her kids, yes, but she does not seem happy. Her children are a miracle, none of them are abused or neglected, so I don’t see her as a bad parent, but I see her as an unhappy person.
And I go to the spa whenever I can, and I only have one kid!

My husband and I recently found out we are expecting twins! We don’t yet know if they will be identical or fraternal, or even their genders. This was a complete happy surprise pregnancy, but we are feeling a bit overwhelmed- and terrified! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, perhaps something that surprised you or you wish you had known in advance?

We do know about the risks associated with having twins, I am asking this question assuming that everything will go well. Our fingers are crossed and I am doing everything I can to ensure these babies are healthy.

Congratulations!!!

I don’t think I have any great advice but can tell you the things that I got wrong when I had my twins

-> twins usually arrive early.
I knew this but still wasn’t packed (or even had been shopping) when my water broke and since I stayed in hospital for a week I had to survive without a fitting bra and pads (milk leakage) and various other bits and bobs, so get packing early (my boys arrived 7 weeks early for example).

-> you will need help at first.
I thought I could do it all by myself but I found that I got exactly zero sleep because one baby was always awake and crying, ie with two you simply can’t do the "sleep with the baby" thing because they might never sleep simultaneously (I’m sure some do but mine certainly didn’t). So accept all help offered (or ask for it if nobody offers).

-> not all gadgets are actually useful.
You’d think with two babies you definitely need everything on offer but in fact you don’t, only buy the basics (cot, double pram, car seats, babygros, nappies, etc) and then wait and see what you actually need. We had lots of unused stuff to give away in the end, and instead bought completely different things we never thought of buying at first.

-> prepare to get the same remarks from strangers over and over
eg. "double trouble", "two for the price of one", "you have your hands full", "are they twins?" (especially annoying if yours look like two peas in a pod) The best one I had was "you’ve been greedy, haven’t you?"

Anyway, other useful stuff I found was:

- try and feed them together if you can manage, that will safe time.

- breast-feeding means you don’t have to worry about going out or sterilising etc since you will always have warm milk but it also means that it will always be you doing the feeding (I tried having my husband do the last feed at night with a bottle instead, that was quite successful).

- a smaller pram to be able to get through doors (eg the doctor’s office or some shops) would have been helpful but I only had the big side-by-side buggy until much later, in hindsight we probably should have simply bought two.

- I found an ear thermometer and this bulb thing to clear the nose very useful in case you come across those.

Anyway, that is all I can think of at the moment. I hope all goes well and I wish you the best of luck!

I’m 26 years old, and I am 5 weeks pregnant, and for some reason feel like I might be having twins. It’s not something I can explain, just a feeling. I already have 2 children, a 5 year old and a 2 and half year old girl. Just curious to know if anyone has had twins, without family history of it, and curious to know if there are any signs I can watch for. I’m pretty sure, I’m just going to have to be patient….

I’m not sure what the statistics are but chances are slim. Use ure search engine and put in something like "childbirth statistics"
and it will probably lead you to some sight that can answer your question. If your pregnant now, it doesn’t take long for a sonogram to tell.

First time parents are curious as to how to shop for the safest and most comfortable crib bedding. Keep this in mind when buying crib bedding: safety first, comfort second. You need to take special precautions with a baby as they are fragile little beings. A newborn baby’s skin is much thinner and more sensitive than that of an adult and so it imperative that clothing and bedding are chosen with safety in mind. Of all the factors to take into consideration when shopping for baby bedding, safety takes the number one priority and the rest follow in line. There are lot of options that are safe as well as affordable, one need not to spend top dollar for comfort of the baby.

With so many fabric options, you can consider your baby’s age and skin type in order to find the most suitable ones. 100% cotton is the best option for baby’s clothing and bedding, but all cotton is not the same, some can damage your baby’s skin or make him/her ill. Commercially grown cotton is exposed to pesticides, carcinogenic dyes, and other chemicals such as formaldehyde. Your baby’s health could be affected and not have any immediately visible signs. You will need to balance what is best for your infant and what you can afford. Although organic cotton may be best, traditional cotton is less expensive. While organic bedding is best, it can be expensive if you can’t find good deals.  In this case, try to find bedding that is as natural as you can afford.

Not so long ago made-to-fit bedding for cribs did not exist, and creative parents had to decorate their cribs without any assistance. With so many options for crib bedding, new moms and dads now can create a unique nursery that reflects their personal taste, whether traditional or non-traditional, in many themes or colors. The variety of crib sets available allows new parents to choose based on brand, price, style, or any other factor they wish. So that, they can pick out the best crib set for their nursery. In other words, you have a wide leeway when it comes to crib sets. Besides the typical blues and pinks, manufacturers are now becoming more contemporary with more numerous options. Discerning moms who want safety, style, and functionality, now demand more stylish and safer bedding for their children from manufacturers who use the latest technology.

If you are shopping on a budget, you can get reduced bedding for less than $120, or you can shop around and wait for a sale. It comes in a variety of styles and prices, so parents can choose to purchase bedding sets or separates. Sets consist of a crib sheet, crib bumper pad, comforter, and dust ruffle. If you intend to buy the pieces separately, you can choose different designs to fit a certain theme. Not having to purchase them is the benefit of separates if you aren’t using a comforter or bumper pad.

Crib sheets have to fit neatly and closely to the mattress; ensure the sheet is wrinkle-free, does not bunch, and fits securely to the mattress so as to minimize the likelihood of the sheet slipping free from the mattress. Elastic straps are available separately to hold crib sheets in place if you are worried about them coming loose. It is a good idea to keep several sets of extra crib sheets available since diaper leaks are so common that may parents find themselves changing the sheets several times a day. Make sure you buy machine washable fabrics, you don’t want to have to take the bedding to the dry cleaners every time a diaper leaks. Lastly, consider the lifespan of your infant’s bedding - if you will continue to use the bedding beyond infancy, consider choosing a motif that your older child will continue to enjoy.
