When I had my twins, it was near impossible trying to find birth announcements especially made for twins. And baby shower invitations for multiples were non-existent. I wish we would have had the internet back then to order from PolkaDotDesign.com – they offer a huge (and super cute) selection of Twins Announcements, Triplets Announcements, Twins and Triplets Shower Invitations, Stationery, Name Cards, Favor Gift Tags, Stickers and more, all for Twins and/or Triplets.
I just got the cutest baby shower invitations for Kaitlyn’s Virtual Baby Shower from Polka Dot Design (lucky for her, she is only having one baby)!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
My preemie twin daughter, Macy has had several intestinal problems over the years. They started when she was infant suffering Necrotizing Enterocolitis where she had seventeen inches of her large and small intestines removed (which was a huge amount on a three pound baby!) and had to don a temporary colostomy.
When Macy was finally able to come home from the hospital, she suffered severe diarrhea. All of our baby outfits were stained – the backsides from Macy and the front sides from her twin sister, Mallory who had an esophogeal reflux and projectile vomited after almost every feeding.
I tried every brand of disposable diapers and even tried cloth diapers as poor Macy’s tiny little butt would bleed, irritated from all the action. I also tried every kind of diaper rash cream that I could find on the store shelves, including Boudreaux’s Butt Paste (I love saying that). We eventually had to get a prescription strength ointment that was only available at a pharmacy 150 miles away from us. Hard to believe we drove three hours to cure a diaper rash back then!
I do believe Boudreaux’s Butt Paste is the best option for “normal” baby diaper rashes though. In fact, I am giving a tube of it to my sister for her virtual baby shower with a pack of diapers and baby wipes. Request a free sample of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste for your baby!

I have been asked several times on what the best gift idea is for someone who just gave birth to a premature infant, especially when the the prognosis is unknown. Only a few people gave me baby clothes when the twins were born, and I remember my mother being pessimistic about their future saying, “How awful if you have to return everything.”
The best gifts I received were hand-written notes saying we were in their prayers along with flowers. I mostly received fresh flowers, but I think potted flowers and plants would be nice for the parents to plant in window boxes for remembrance.
