Any of you have surprise twins?
I did not have the pleasure, but a very good friends 3rd child turned out to be his 3rd and 4th. I feel for you my man.
But most of all...CONGRATULATIONS!!
You've been trying for two years and were rewarded for your patience. Think of it as getting out of diapers faster, you get to stop paying for daycare sooner, they get to graduate together, grow up together with a stronger bond than my kids will probably ever have. That's awesome, man!
You can always get hand me down baby stuff (toys & clothes). Don't worry about the cost of all that. Stock up on diapers and formula for later. Those are the essentials that no one else generally buy for you.

Congrats, I have twin girls. One definite piece of advice to heed is to make sure from
Day one they are on the same nap/feeding schedule, otherwise you will be a miserable sob. First few months were rough for us due to them having colic, other than that it's been a blessing.

It could be worse, you could have gotten a vasectomy and still ended up with triplets. At least you were trying to get pregnant.

Congrats!
Our twins will be 9 in December.
At first the thought was overwhelming. But it really isn't as bad as people think. The money part, well yeah it can get expensive. Start stocking up on diapers and wipes now.

That's what everyone else says. My family is... lacking... other than my father. Her family on the other hand is HUGE and all are extremely close. I am not the kind of person to ask for help though. That's going to be my biggest struggle.

No. She was on eight rounds of Clomid. We just decided to take a month off and forget about it then look at IVF toward the summer. First month off of medication it happened when we tried to just forget about everything. We stopped tracking and everything.
So, you let nature do its thing. That has been known to work.
I'm happy for you.
All you need are a shite ton of diapers, desitin, and baby wipes.
You'll probably use the same 3 onesies for each baby so no need to buy an entire wardrobe.
Two cribs. Two bassinets. You'll be okay.

Places like Toys R Us and many other retailers will give discounts on larger items if you have multiples.

You will need help with the kids, for sure. If they are willing to help babysit or do whatever, take advantage of it. Besides, your children need extended family.

I have 10 year old twins....when they're newbies make sure they're on the same schedule with sleep and eating. Also, don't be ashamed to ask for help from family. It's a bit difficult at first, but once you get into a routine it becomes a huge blessing. Congrats, and welcome to the club!

she should get in great shape NOW.
take those minerals (a nice cal-mag combo), along with MK7. her bones are going to need to be strong.

Congrats. If you wanted more than one anyway, this will be better in the end. Get them out of the way. I'm sure it will be overwhelming at first, but it would have been anyway.
You'll find efficiencies in costs so it won't be a true double up. Cross your fingers for the same gender, that will help.

They grow so quickly. You buy an outfit for every day of the week and they end up wearing them maybe 5 times each? If you like wasting the money, okay.
