TwinsClub.co.uk, which claims to be the UK’s largest website for parenting twins, triplets, and more, has announced the availability of its 2008 Twins & Triplets calendar, featuring 57 beautiful photographs and 13 moving stories.
The calendar will be sold in aid of Tommy’s, the Baby Charity.
Co-founder Lindsey Gray said “As far as we know our calendar is totally unique - the only calendar dedicated to Twins & Triplets and we are extremely proud of it. We have raised over £5000 for BLISS and TAMBA (the Twins and Multiple Birth Association) through sales of our previous calendars, and we are hoping to have the same success this year.”
Stories in the calendar include twins conceived after vasectomy, triplets conceived after a sterilisation, the heaviest set of twins born naturally in the UK, twins born on different days, identical twins with downs syndrome, and 2 sets of twins born to same parents in 2 years.
The calendar costs £10.50 and is available from TwinsClub.co.uk or by post from 1 Matthews Close, Stratford St. Mary, Suffolk, CO7 6LH (cheques made payable to Twinsclub).
Encouraging individuality in twins
“Double trouble eh?” say well-meaning onlookers, nudging you in the ribs and smiling.
You roll your eyes skyward. After all, it’s only the 20th time you’ve heard such a delightful comment after venturing out with your buggy.
Ask any new mum about the experience of having twins, and the ridiculous and repetitive observations of strangers will be pretty high up on any list of petty complaints.
“You’ve got your hands full,” they coo, or even: “Rather you than me.” Gee thanks.
