I’m the proud mommy of two handsome boys (both singletons). My husband and I are going to have twins. I’ve never taken care of twins before. However I am so excited to be a mom again. BTW: We won’t be breast feeding, co-sleeping, or cloth diapering

We already have: 1 arms reach co-sleeper, 2 electric swings, 2 cribs, 2 organic crib mattresses, 3 bouncy seats, Angel care Monitors, baby monitors, white noise makers, block out drapes, night lights, 4 boppy pillows, 6 or 7 miracle blanket swaddlers, several baby baths, tons of clothing for both sexes, every stimulating toy you can think off, a double stroller, 4 or 5 car seats, safety kits, gates, baby care item kits, a ton of stuff that I can’t remember off of the top of my head.

How did you prepare for your multiple birth? What did you find useful and unnecessary?

The four fang teeth in the front, the last of the teeth to come in before the 2 year molars? Bradley is 17 months old and the poor thing is getting in all 4 canines at the same time! He hasn’t slept a good night’s sleep in two weeks, he wakes up everday from his nap with a fever and drooling and he’s is grinding his teeth constantly. He calls his medicine (ibuprophen) "satin" and constantly whines that he wants "satin" which tells me he is pain a lot (I try to only give him it at night). When did your toddler get their canines and how did they do with them? Any suggestions for helping the little guy? Orajel is useless and he hates frozen washclothes.
Very Proud Mommy: I ALMOST felt stupid…..until I made sure I WAS right about calling them canines.
