Daddy's tired already.

a good intro

a good introduction of many topics associated with twins. not a ton of in-depth information, though. this was the first book I started with so it was a nice overview and gave me an idea of things I need to investigate further.

The only book Twin Dads need to read!

What did you love best about Dad's Guide to Twins?

Its a book meant just for Dads who are expecting Twins.

Any additional comments?

There are not a lot of book on Twins in general, let alone for Dad. When you look at the audiobooks selection the numbers dwindle even further.Thankfully, this book exists. It allows expecting fathers of Twins to get a Dad's take on having Twins. For those of you who don't like reading, or don't have the time this auidiobook is the perfect solution. Now if the Author could only release his second book "Dad’s Guide to Raising Twins" in audio format we Twin fathers would be all set.

Learned some things

great humor. awesome perspective. Soon to be new parent, so I learned different things that I believed to be relevant information. Not just for Dads.

The best advice before your twins arrive!

Calming my nerves about having twins. These will be our first children and I'm really anxious and nervous about the whole thing. Listening to this definitely helped ease a lot of that.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dad's Guide to Twins?

Reminding myself to relax, and convincing my wife that she won't be able to do every chore around the house while the twins are awake!

The advise about getting them on schedule.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did laugh at times and might have almost cried towards the end. I am more excited than anything to start this journey.

Any additional comments?

It was tremendously helpful in getting me prepared for the birth of our twins later this year. At times it did raise my anxiety about certain things, but at the same time it made me understand that I need to expect certain things to happen outside of my control. The biggest help was learning to relax and realize that I can handle this, along with a little help. I will definitely be referring back to it!

Twin Dad to be: Listening to and from Work

I listened to this book at least once or twice a month on my drive to and from work. I'm sure the twin experience will be unique for us all, but the advice here has been extremely helpful.

Exactly what I needed

Just the right amount of information that I needed, having just learned that I’m a twin father to be.

Fun

As a twin mom, I had gotten this book for my partner because she was not carrying our children but she did not listen to it before they were born. I wish we had, it was a fun way to see the other side of the pregnancy/delivery and we would have had some insight into what to expect for my cesarean. I found myself nodding my head to many parts of the book, and writing things down at times. I enjoyed this book and recommend a listen before your twins are born.

Below expectations

Not well-organized or well-sourced. This book is basically an extended forum post. I found more useful information from authors like Emily Oster who actually dig up the data to help you know what to do.
