Whew! So much to do, but making out lists really helps you stay organized. :)
Please cross the onsies off your list. I had already planned to gift you with some - I am glad to know how many and what size you need. Hugs.
There is so much to do to prepare for TWO! :D
We put our twins together in one crib for the first six months, and they probably would have been fine longer. Just thinking of your limited space - you don't always need two of everything!
At 6 months we borrowed a crib for about a year, then just put the two crib mattresses on the floor until we put the double bed in their room. They slept all over each other quite soundly, just like in utero, lol!
Neat idea, Von! We already have two cribs, though, since Rowen and Nicky were both in cribs at the same time. Just need fresh, new mattrasses. :)
Wow! Lots of planning, and so much to do!!
Good luck, my friend, that is a lot to do!
Hey! Big Congrats! I just read about your fantastic news on your stitching blog. I am so thrilled for you, how exciting! So do you know if they are identical twins? Wow, I am just so happy for you. Hope you are feeling great and things are going smooth! Can't wait to read more! :D
