Forgot to tell you, caseysmom - a friend of mine, when pregnant with twins (now in elementary school) asked for advice from people. I gathered information from the mothers of several sets of twins I know, and most of them said the most important thing is ....

Take lots of pictures. You may not remember much of the next year, but pictures will be proof that it all did happen!

My friend's twins were quite premature - born in mid-March when she wasn't due 'til May, and they had to spend time getting bigger and stronger before they came home, but you would never know to look at them now! They are fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, and right now, some folks wouldn't even guess they are twins, as there's a big height difference between them - the girl swam more toward her petite grandmother's side of the gene pool, I guess!
