T-minus 8 weeks...


Let's get the intro out of the way.  I am a tech savvy, early adopter and child of the 80's who played the role of a Malibu lawyer for most of the past decade.  Now, it seems that twin boys will be occupying my life full time for the foreseeable future.  This blog will be an attempt to highlight the ups and downs of trying to manage twins and my obsession with the latest and greatest tech around.

The twins are due to arrive at the end of July, but as we all know, or at least those of us who are having twins or know people who had twins, twins come early.  So 8 weeks could very easily be 4 weeks away.  This means everything must be taken care of now because once the little bundle of joys get here, all bets are off.  In preparation of this, my wife and I have been researching every known twin related product we need - from strollers and cribs to monitors and car seats, for the past three months.  What I can tell everyone is simply if you have multiples, prepare to be screwed over by every manufacturer.  There are no breaks here.

For example, I am waiting for what I hope to be the stroller of my dreams.  The Bugaboo Donkey Twin.  Fed Ex is due to arrive any moment and I am sure when it does arrive, the rest of my day (and most likely until the kids arrive) will be spent putting it together and learning everything about it.  I only hope it lives up to its reputation and the fact your unborn child has to take a loan out just to get it.  My plan is to get a review up here within a few days, but we will see.

Other reviews to come will be the SafetoSleep mat, diapers from the Honest Company, a video monitor to be announced and whatever else comes our way.
