FROM September 2006, to July 2009 this blog* carried reports by Linda Jones and Becky from Deepmuckbigrake about twins, triplets and more, with news updates and videos.
During this time, the feedback through comments and emails we received meant a lot. Thank you to Becky for all her wonderful help and thank you to everyone who stopped by, especially those who were kind enough to let us know we had written something that had proved informative, entertaining or thought-provoking.
Here's a collection of some favourite posts. They have been picked because we know people appreciated them. If you have just found this blog and have been blessed with a multiple birth family or pregnancy, I hope they may be useful.

If you are interested in statistics, we had more than 100,000 unique visitors during that time and according to Statcounter, 13,000 of them became 'returning' - but that's over the three years. I would have loved to have got my head round the stats some more, but every time I tried to...and to do something with them, life got in the way...
Very helpful indeed!
