We have twin boys, I was lucky enough to take time off to help my wife. It's fine when they are in baskets, once they start crawling the fun begins.

Sign up for everything from pampers, food companies, etc., it can really make a difference in costs, free diapers is free diapers. There are lots of twins clubs/meetings for expectant parents if you want, as you already have a child it's easier for you, get a breast feeding pillow and comfy chair for your wife.

Start getting used to buying two of everything as it will last until they are big :D


Good luck and enjoy it, it is a true blessing.

We went the station wagon route as mini-vans were a fad yet to happen. My wife's sister & family moved nearby, and their daughter was the same age as our son. The kids played together a lot, so we typically hauled both kids around for a few years until we moved away. Our Volvo wagon was plenty convenient for that. Maybe you can find a good sport wagon, Bumper. :)

Sage advice here. My congrats to mom & pop...it's going to be an experience!

How about the Ford Flex....It looks to me like a land rover...not sure of the quality, others on this board will be much smarter than me about this.

Congratulations. My friend has twins and just had a third child this year. He gets three child seats in the back of his M5. Not sure how he does it, but it must be doable someway. ;)

Twice the luck and double trouble. :D

We have Twin Identical Girls 14 Years old.

The pregnancy was a bit touch and go from a health stand point with the Wife. All worked out well for her and the girls.

Unbelievable experience they are easier to raise in some respects and more difficult in others.

Your in for some fun. Don't let any one scare you with the work load it is very manageable. As they grow they have built in friends to pass the time with. It's great and a very efficient way to have kids.

It's just as easy to change 2 diapers as 1. Make sure you do not do your best work changing diapers, you will not be asked very often to do it.
