So my good friend is pregnant with twins. While she told me around her 2nd month, she's just starting to make it public knowledge, because she just started her 2nd trimester. I want to get her a lil something but this is foreign territory for me.

She doesn't know the sex yet, I'd love to make her a little Pregnancy Survival Kit to ship down to Florida. But I have NO Idea what to put in it.

I'd love any suggestions!! Thanks!

I had a really funny book when I was pregnant but I can't remember the name of it. Let me do a google search and see if I can't find it.

OK, it's called Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy by Vicki Iovine.

Just go to any bookstore and search in the pregnancy section. The one we liked the most is called TwinSense. I believe it went from pregnancy to the first year. There's also one just called Twins! that's supposed to be good. It's a whole different ballgame. Every pregnant person will tell her what it was like for them, but unless they had twins, they don't know.

A gift certificate with someone who specializes in pregnancy massage. By her second or third trimester, having someone massage her ankles and calves will be the closest thing to heaven.

I had one of those when I was about 7 months pregnant, and it's worth the money just to be able to lay on your stomach for an hour!
