I know every pregnancy is different but any info from people who have been through it would be great. I have a 2 year old son so I thought I knew what to expect with another child but this just really took me by surprise.

I was a day nanny for triplets. Their parents were simply wonderful. Some tips I picked up from their mom: Color code everything with electrician's tape--blue, green, and red. (Since your other child is still so young, assign him a color too.) Mark bottles, pacifiers, high chairs, bibs, strollers, car seats, everything. This sounds weird, but it prevented an untold number of squabbles! The kids learn which color is theirs very early on, and it helps keep you organized, too. Second tip: If your friends and family offer help, take them up on it. Having three young children is hard on you physically and emotionally. So when someone drops by and says, "Let me know if there's anything I can do..." jump in and let them know exactly what you need. And third: Set a date night for you and your husband on a regular basis and go out without the kids. This will keep you sane and communicating on an adult level. Good luck!

i have twin boys, 6 months old. the pregnancy part is hell on your body, i was so miserable. the best tip i have is to do everything (feeding, changing, baths) together. and when you go out with them expect alot of people to come up and start asking questions. it's cool at first but it gets annoying

Get your rest now! :-) Seriously, though, there are a lot of things I could say... but I'll just leave it at, while it will be a lot of work, it will be more than worth it! Having twins is an amazing experience....

Join a parents of multables club right now. They are the experts and very supportive. I have not had the experience but 5 families I know have and they would recommend this.
