Guess you better start buying two of everything now.
My rule of thumb to my parents were to not buy identical clothes if they are identical. If you do buy the same clothes with same colors, you will have to imprint an A or B or 1 dot or 2 dots so people can tell the difference.
My nieces are identical twins and their parents love to mess with me.

Just wait until they are older and suddenly say "I don't want to look like him/her"

Congrats! I remember that feeling, when they said Baby A and Baby B!
Twins are about to be 6 years old. You will have a blast watching them grow and form a unique relationship with each other.

Hell I know. It's more than our house payment.
This is the only time I wish we lived closer to my parents.

i've got identical twin boys. they were our first (and last). I hit the jackpot with the 2 peni, hopefully you do as well
Its been expensive as hell, especially with all of the doc visits, special formulas, diapers, day care, clothes. But I wouldn't trade my experience for any other. What we have is special and it will always be.
Congrats! and good luck

as a father of twin boys who are now 7, good luck. The first 18 months really suck. The kids themselves are great, but it is all the other stuff that you have to do. It is almost impossible to go anywhere solo for those 18 months, because the kids are so dependent. Even a quick trip to the grocery store is a production. Once you get there EVERYONE wants to ask you about them. " ARE THEY TWINS?" you will hear that shite in your sleep. It is awesome to watch them grow and great when they start to figure things out, but mine NEVER slept for any long amount of time until that 10-12 month range. Then we would get a few hours at a time here and there. Not saying this to scare, just to prepare.
Also, mine had to spend a week longer than their mom was in the hospital in the NICU due to underdeveloped lungs they were born at 36 weeks and weren't quite ready. I was not prepared for the 12 day long stay in the hospital. My boys are my little buddies and I love them to death. They have helped make me the man I am today, but it would have been nice if they would have slept a little more.
-keep on the same schedule
-sleep when you can
-accept any help that you can get
-remember that when you are sleep deprived that you might not make the best decisions on what to say to your wife and sometimes it is better to not say anything than to get sarcastic, because she is sleep deprived too and it will not end well for you.( this is a big one)
Good luck!

I live near you and have been looking into putting my 2 (ages 1 and 2) in daycare in the area. That's about the price range to expect. That's why we've decided to let mother in law keep them a little while longer.

Congrats. My twin girls are about to turn two and my son is three weeks. It definitely will cut into your hunting time but help your SO as much as possible and she'll let you break away. Make the most out of every chance you get.

Congrats! I have twin 2yr old girls and have loved every minute. They already put on my polarized glasses and walk around the house telling me they are going fishing. Their two favorite foods are boiled crawfish and fried oysters.
Best piece of advice I can give you is do your best to keep them on the same schedules from the start.

You may want to look into hiring a nanny for the first couple years. It really didn't cost my wife and I much more than daycare since there was 2....and was pretty much awash considering not having to worry about care when they're sick, and not dealing with when the daycare was closed.

My sister in law stressed this big time. She said she has a fantastic book to help with that. She has twins BTW

I wonder about that. Will they have lower immunities since they aren't around others?
