Um....so I just realized that it is entirely possible that I could be having these babies in 9 weeks. 9! That is unbelievable!! In 9 weeks I will be 34 weeks, which for twins is OK. My midwife just told me at our last appointment that if I go into labor at 34 weeks she wouldn't try to stop it. Of course the further along you are the better, but seriously. 9 weeks! I am not prepared in any way what so ever. The baby room is more or less a storage room. I don't have any diapers (except for one pack of 30 which are too big for newborns), I only have one of the car seats. I don't have a stroller. I don't have anything I need for nursing. I haven't taken any birthing classes. Oh gosh. I need to get my butt in gear. I have all of this money from my baby shower but I'm waiting on my next baby shower to buy anything, which I don't think is a good idea. I need to be more prepared. I could potentially have these babies this year. My baby shower isn't until January. Gadzooks! I also need to call the hospital and talk about how much it costs and stuff. I need to try to get a payment plan in place. I need to do a lot more reading too! Gesum crow, now I feel unbelievably overwhelmed.
9 weeks!
The miracle of life! Here we are parents of twin girls Sarah and Olivia born Jan 16. Welcome to our adventure of love, hope, and joy! We will update as much as we can about our beautiful girls and their progress in life!
A new Wickerbaby is on the way!

Take a deep breath. In a worst-case scenario, you go into labor and have the babies. While you're in the hospital that will give Chris time to go buy an extra carseat and diapers. That's truly all you really really really need, esp. if you breastfeed!
PS Are you going to cloth diaper or go the disposable route? Or a bit of both ? (we go about halftime with AJ)
Thanks :-)
I know I don't need that much stuff really. I just want to be prepared, that way I don't have anything to think about except babies themselves :-)
At the beginning we are going to do regular, and then once we get the hang of things we will prolly at least try the cloth diapers. I'd really like to use cloth exclusively but I am going to have a lot of other stuff to worry about haha. How is florida?! I am so jealous.
So true--two babies! That's twice the work of a singleton!
Florida is beautiful. High of 75 today and just perfect weather. And it's so nice to be among friends.
