    I went to pick up the girl's pictures tonight at JCPenney's. Well of course as soon as I got there and one of them out of the van, it started pouring down rain. Fun. So I grabbed the other and ran inside. In the picture studio there was another mommy, with the same DuoGlider stroller and 2 lil' peanuts that were obviously twins. We chatted for a few, but I was so flustered about it raining (I was meeting my MIL at JoAnn Fabrics to pick out dress fabric) I didn't get a chance to really "talk" to her. I wish I would have had the hindsight to give her my email address, but of course thought of that as I was pulling out of the parking lot. :rolleyes: Oh well.

    K - give yourself a break. And, maybe you'll run into her again. I ran into a woman w/twins at the CVS when i was about 28 weeks. I, too, thought of exchangng emails as she was obviously local. But i didn't think of it til AFTER. Well, don't you know the FIRST time i went out w/out the girls, at about six weeks pp, i went to the pharmacy (my BIG outing) and - who was there? We now have an email relationshihp and are working on actually getting together.

    is there a parents of multiples group in your area? Search the website for NPOM (national parents of multiples0 - i think you can put in your zip cod eand they bring up the closest ones.

    mostly - be kind to yourself' with twins you're extra tired!

    That happened to me too! Ran into a couple with twins the same age as mine (and one was even wearing an outfit we have at home) on the street, had a really good chat - and didn't even think to exchange emails or anything. Doh!

    But then I remember...the other mom forgot too! We're all in the mommy-brain boat together... :lol:

    Amanda! I live like 20 minutes from you! LOL I live in East Sparta. How cool is that? :D
    I've met a few other twin mommies. One I've ran into a few times at BRU ... she was still pg both times and we had a nice chat. She asked for advice and my opinion on products, etc. I gave her the addy here but she said she wasn't computer savvy so we didn't exchance emails either.
    We do have a local multiples club, but me getting out of the house regularly in the evenings doesn't happen alot. Girls go to bed at 7pm and DH doesn't have a set schedule of getting home. I do "know" one other member here, kaysyd. I used to work with her sister LOL.
    It's just nice to be able to talk to someone who 'gets it' ya know?

    hind site is ALWAYS 20/20. One of these days you will actually be able to resume normal conversation with people. I still haven't been able to do that with the boys around. I am always so distracted...

    When I run into twin moms it never occurs to me to swap email addresses. This a good idea though. Actually at our last MOTC meeting, they gave everyone a stack of the group's card (with phone number on it), so we can pass them on to other twin parents we meet while out and about.

    Honestly when I'm out with the girls I'm all business. Yesterday we were shopping and I knew I had a limited amount of 'happy to be in the stroller' time so I was not stopping to chat with anyone! :)

    I've had that happen too many times with twin moms or with other moms that I seem to "click" with, but with 3 little tagalongs, I don't have the easy ability to find a pen and paper and give my info.

    I finally gave up and ordered myself mommy calling cards! Now I can just hand out my card if I meet another mom.
