I was able to make it to a local Twins and Multiples group meeting last night, as I am done working nights! It was great :-) I am looking forward to being more involved there. They had a panel of multiples ranging from 8yo to 31yo that we could ask questions about how it was growing up, anything you would do differently? What did you like/ not like... and a wide variety of answers about what worked for them :-) very fun!
Anybody else involved in local Moms of Multiples groups? How do you like it, what do you all do? What should I be asking them? :-)
I just joined my local group a few weeks ago but didn't make the meeting last night. It was about raising 2-5 year olds so I felt funny showing up still pregnant. Sounds like you had a really cool meeting and that panel sounds like an awesome idea!
Any insight the provided that you'd like to share?

Twins? You mean two babies? WOW!
Team PURPLE!!
We are excited to meet William Alexander and Harper Abigail in 2015!
I joined when I was pregnant. I find my group a great bunch of ladies, and a great resource for not just kid related things. My club is pretty active and is a non for profit. We are affiliated with state and national chapter( Multiples of America). We have monthly meetings on many different topics / activities- not all kid related. We have two resales a year- each doing around 40K in sales. After our monthly meetings, members head to a local pub for drinks and apps. We have frequent playdates and moms only night outs.
My club has a website and Facebook closed group. I feel it is a very open and friendly group.
I went to my fist meeting last month and I loved it!

I started going to the local multiples group a few months ago. They have monthly meeting with various speakers. This month they had a doula come in. They also have 2 consignment sales a year. Usually they have family outings each month for the kids. They went to the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago. They are planning on touring a tv station in November. So far I've enjoyed them and was able to get some good advice especially since we just moved here.
I haven't joined mine yet I was a prospective member for two months but as my girls were micro-preemies, I haven't dared to get them, or us, involved in much until they are older due to the immune systems of preemies. I can't wait to though!
