Twins: Seeing Double. 

This book is about the emotional voyage of a mother of twins.  It is not a “how-to” book; it does not provide advice nor has a list of recommended strollers.  Instead, it is a literary compilation of the most important phases any mother of twins goes through: when she finds out there are two heartbeats in her belly, when the babies arrive, when they start talking, when they mesmerize everyone around them with their charm. It is also about the hard parts, the disappointing moment when all mothers realize they have become the rule-makers, the ones who are standing in the way of fun.  Through her compilation of short articles, Sofia B. Jaimes will take you through an easy-read that will leave you feeling that you are not alone.

This book is mostly about the largest experience a woman can go through: giving life, caring for a baby, falling madly in love with that piece of her and her husband who is now running around in a diaper.  It is about that, multiplied by two.

This book is for you if you:

• Are pregnant with twins*
  
• Have twins of any age
• Have friends who have twins
• Are a mother or father

* this applies to multiples too, like triplets or more

If you are expecting twins, this book will help you prepare for the emotional ride you will find yourself in when the babies are born.  Each chapter will take you one step at a time through the so many unforeseen situations you will find yourself in, and hopefully will help comprehend the vast array of feelings you will go through, helping you feel you are not alone and finding solace in the fact that others have walked the same path and survived.  And you will too.

If you have twins, this book will make you smile as you realize you are not alone.  It is written in a very sensitive yet funny style, and who cannot use humor when you are raising two kids at the same time?  You will relate to many of the incidents related in the chapters, which are short - you will be able to read them at intervals, because we all know when you are raising twins there is one thing that is always short: time!
