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.
