There is an announcement. . .actually two. . .The having of the Twins! OT welcome. Update post# 50

Yep, that is correct, there are going to be twins in the Saber household. And if the ultrasound is correct they are boys. So there will be the two girls and then baby boys. We were initially shocked - only planned for 3, but got 4. I always was one for a Slick deal.

We are starting to plan rooms out - will be looking for some furniture next weekend. Thoughts are to move the older two children into the same room (6 and almost 3). Will allow the oldest to choose the new color for their walls and have twin beds. That transition hopefully will not be to difficult.

Anyway the shock has worn off, and the fact that we are going to have twins is exciting and the fact that they are boys is even more of a new experience. Curious if there are any other loungers that have experience with multiples. I'll be keeping this thread updated - as a good lounger should.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Good luck. I imagine twins is quite literally twice as hard as singles. Think of how you shared responsibilities with your wife with your first baby and now imagine two at once and no sharing anymore. Double the poop, double the crying, double the medical bills... my god I'm not even having them and this comment is stressing me out.

Congrats!
My brother has twin boys who just turned 5 a few days ago. They lived with my mom and I for a year. Lots of work, but lots of fun.

Wow, have not touched base with this thread in a while. Life has been hectic. Babies' room is almost ready. 4 weeks to go. Doctors appointment tomorrow, but at last measure:

Baby A - 4 lbs 2 oz
Baby B - 3 lbs 8 oz

Specialty doc said Baby B was correct weight and Baby A was an overachiever. It is very exciting! We have lined up some help for the new babies and someone to help with the older girls with summer activities. Names have also been chosen, but I will be holding those up until their birthday.

Good luck. The idea of twins terrifies me. There is no 'taking turns' with twins, you're both going to not sleep for a long time...
