Expecting Twins? Have Questions?

Today, TwinParenthood.com is very excited to announce a new service available to new parents of twins and those expecting twins.  Starting today, parents expecting twins, or those with twin infants (or as we like to call them, “twinfants”), can submit up to five questions to TwinParenthood.com, and receive a personalized answer.  This new service is free for a limited time.

Questions...Questions

Your questions can be about anything twin related. 

  • Equipment to buy
  • Nursery set up
  • Bringing twins home
  • Sibling Issues

  • You name it

To submit your questions, please visit our Expecting Twins page.  Hope to hear from you soon!

Day 5 out of 40 in radio station Spirit 105.3’s Heath & Fitness 40 Day Challenge

Well, I am happy to report that I am now one of the Top 4 Finalists in my local radio station’s (Spirit 105.3) Health & Fitness 40 Day Challenge.  Thank you to everyone for all your support and votes!

I have completed 3 of the “boot camp” fitness classes provided to the 4 competitors by “Aim to be Fit”.  After the first class, my body was very sore.  And, each class that followed has resulted in sore muscles, but not as bad as the first day.  So… I think I’m progressing!  I’ve completed 5 days out of the 40, and I’m feeling more empowered as each day goes by.

However, the whole thing has derailed my normal routine quite a bit.  Christmas first threw me off my normal schedule, and now  this 40 Day Challenge is taking its toll.  But, it is good. I’m readjusting, and planning to get back to my blogging routine by next week.  I have some great new ideas for TwinParenthood.com — so I hope you will enjoy them as they roll out.

Meanwhile, wish me luck in this 40 Day Challenge.  I am not concerned about “winning” the challenge — just happy to be included and being made to be accountable.  I’ll let you know how I do over the next 40 days.  And if you’d like to follow along, please visit me at the radio station’s website: http://bit.ly/8LtOuH

Can a twin mom compete in a Health & Fitness 40 Day Challenge?

I am so excited. I am one of 8 finalists competing to become one of 4 contestants in Spirit 105.3’s Health & Fitness 40 Day Challenge.  Spirit is a local radio station here in the Seattle area.   The 40 Day Challenge is meant to encourage Fitness, Nutrition and Spiritual Growth in the New Year.  I entered because I am ready to start taking better care of myself.  And, I need your vote to boost me into one of the four contestant positions.  Please head over to their Spirit 105.3’s website, view my profile, and cast your vote for me!  All votes for the contestant selection must be placed by Friday, January 8th, 2010.  Thank you so much for your support!

Health & Fitness 40 Day Challenge
After some fertility treatments and then 2 twin pregnancies — I had gained about 50 pounds that has stayed with me these past nine years of caring for my twins.  Now that they are all in school full day, I am ready to make it a priority to get healthy again. 

I hope you vote for me — but even if you don’t, I hope you visit back here often for updates during the 40 days. Even if I don’t “make it” into the contest, I plan to follow along and do my best.  I’ll be posting about this 40 day journey regularly.  Hope you can join me.
