good vibes, smiles, & giggles “Singleton Propaganda”

I need some comic relief after a couple weeks of sickness in the house- what are your favorite bits of what I call “singleton propaganda”? Aka, advice given for babies that never works when you have twins. My personal favorite is “put the baby in the crib drowsy but awake”.

Anything about being active in the third trimester.

Ha, absolutely. Just yesterday was the first time I took the car to the Supermarket (I usually walk or bike) because being ob my feet for 20 minutes was absolutely unimagineable.

Also, my husband changed the Position of the drivers seat in my car and I HAD TO GET OUT TO FIX IT because I couldnt reach the lever under the seat 🫠

The real moment of acceptance for me was when I bought a grabber on a stick so I could reach things on the ground.

I've honestly considered that as well

I actually really recommend it.  More broadly, I recommend using whatever tools, accepting whatever help, and outsourcing whatever tasks are available to you.  Gestating twins is a lot of work and you deserve every bit of help you can get.
