A Little About Us…

Congratulations!  You have just found out that you are expecting multiples or already have been blessed with them!   Whether you have or are expecting twins, triplets or another type of Super Twins – you are not alone!  You are probably happy, surprised, scared and overwhelmed all at once.  You might be wondering if they are going to be okay, how you are going to pay for it all, and if you will ever sleep again???

Everyone who is involved with TVMOM has experienced what you are now going through.  There are some different experiences and challenges that are associated with being a parent of multiples, regardless if you are newly expecting or whether you are about to enter the exciting new world of school.

By meeting other Moms (and Dads) we are all able to discuss our frustrations and concerns.  You will have the benefit of seeking the advice of other MoMs (Mothers of Multiples) who have had similar experiences and the invaluable resources of the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Club, Inc. (NOMOTC) and the Southern California Mothers of Twins Clubs Inc. (SCMOTC).

Even though the primary purpose of TVMOM is to be support for MoMs and their special needs, many members do have other children, for this reason there are weekly playgroups and other family activities planned throughout the year.

Multiple Thoughts…

Mother of Multiples (muth’er uv mul’te-pelz)

A M.O.M.’s prayer

Thank you, Lord for blessing me as a mother of multiples, for it is through these children that I truly see the abundant of joy and beauty of life.  I pray You will walk with me always and give me the strength to be the parent I know I should be, and the courage to be the parent I know You want me to be.

In today’s busy world when days are so filled that choices must be made for tasks left undone, never let my children be that choice.  As children grow too quickly, remind me how wonderful they are and always let there be laughter to the music to which I dance.  Teach me to value every moment with them.

Let me not forget that these blessings are but children and grant me restraint that I do not judge them harshly.  Show me the way to tolerance and wisdom.  Guide me that I might discipline my children with a tempered hand, a warm heart, and an open mind.  Help me to be quick with praise and yet slow to criticize.  Give me the patience to allow my children to grow, the grace to forgive their mistakes.   Make my arms strong enough to shelter my children from harm, yet gentle enough to comfort them in times of despair.

Use me Lord, to nurture the creativity and innocence in my children.  Through my spirit, inspire my children with love, mercy and compassion that they shall grow to walk in the glory of Your Light forever.
