Who We Are

Hi, my name is Jackie. I am the State Representative for the club. I have been the vice president for the past two years and president for the two years preceding that. I have fraternal twin girls who are six years old. I joined the club when the girls were 6 months, but had wished I had joined while I was pregnant. I had so many questions running through my mind while pregnant that never seemed to get answered because I didn't know anyone who had twins. My prenatal classes didn't really cover what was going to happen either as they more focused on singleton pregnancies. ( I always got a little tap in class saying "oh well this will be totally different for you!") This left me with a feeling of being overwhelmed and very alone.

The Waterbury MOMC gave me support and the opportunity to meet new M.O.M.s that were also feeling overwhelmed. Being new to this area all my friends were at least 45 minutes away, and having preemie newborn twins you don't exactly have a lot of time on your hands to travel. After being with the club for a few months I got involved slowly with publicity and membership and within a two years of the club became co- president. I enjoy the friendships and the friendships my children have made as well as giving back to the community and helping other multiple families in need. Not only has the club has been support for me, but my twin girls as well. They enjoy meeting others that are "multiples", it has made them feel very "special" to be a multiple and we feel truly blessed.

Hi, my name is Marcy! I am the President of the Waterbury Area Mothers of Multiples Club. I first joined the club in 2007, and have been an active member ever since.

I have served as the club's Treasurer from 2007 through 2010; Newsletter Editor from 2007 through 2009; and in 2009 I took on a new role as the club's WebMaster. In addition to my Waterbury MOM duties, I am the Vice President for the Mothers of Twins Association of Connecticut for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 club years. If it's not obvious - I love this club!!!

I first joined Waterbury MOMC in the hopes of finding other M.O.M.s who could understand and relate to my situation, but I found much more than that. I found some great friends to learn from and share with. Not only that, but our children have also made lifelong friends through our connections! The Waterbury MOMC has brought me a sense of community that I didn't realize I needed, until I found them!

Through fundraisers and other charity, we help change lives of fellow M.O.M's who might be having a difficult time. Though every situation is unique, we understand that having more than one baby to care for can be even more stressful. And we hope our donations and assistance will help ease those challenges. I am extrememely proud to be a part of that.
