ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
As has been the case from the beginning, we have many people to thank
for making it a better tool to put into the hands of young parents. We
continue to owe a special debt of gratitude to Dr. Eleanor Womack, a
mother of triplets, twins, and four singletons. Due to her firsthand
experience and expertise, we asked Dr. Womack if she would write a
chapter for us dealing with multiple births. She consented, and we are
very grateful for her help in this area. (See chapter 9, “Multiple Birth:
The Endless Party.”) We also wish to thank Anne Marie Ezzo for her
contribution to this book.
In addition, we wish to thank Barbara Phillips for her contributions
and years of faithful assistance. A special thanks to Diane Wiggins, our
wonderful editor. It is with great appreciation that we acknowledge and
thank the members of our medical advisory board for their consistent
oversight, dedication, review and updates. We also wish to acknowledge
and thank Ashley Fazel, Sally Niemer, Whitney Bradburn, Stephanie
Wagner, Jennine Thomsom and Linda Gage for their wonderful
contribution to Chapter Nine. Finally, we wish to thank Carole Clark,
Carol Parkinson, and Gloria Dudney for their wonderful insights and
contributions.
