Resources

I'm using this post to start a list of resources that we've been consulting regarding being pregnant with and raising multiples. As we find more information related to premature babies we will also add it. We're providing this info for anyone who is curious about how we will be caring for the babies and the risks they may be facing. People who are planning to help us out with the babies might really want to take a look at these resources (sorry, I supervise/teach for a living - I can't help assigning homework!) Happy reading! Oh - and if anyone has any other suggestions for resources about multiples and preemies, please feel free to share!
