Best baby book for twins?

Is there a really good/cute baby book for twins?  Should I just get them their own book that is a little different?  What have you done?

    They each have their own book.  I wanted to be able to put specific momentos, keepsakes, pics, etc. of each of them in individual books.  I write a lot of similar information down, but character traits, growth measurements, milestones, etc. are all different.  I also want to be able to give them to each of my boys when they're older.

    We bought the same baby book from Carter's but one is a girl's and one is a boys. I highly recommend filling in as much as you can now before they get here. I also got matching blue and pink fabric covered photo albums where you can write picture descriptions and separated out their ultra sound pictures to put in them. I took fabric paint and wrote on the front of them "inside mommy's tummy". I also included pictures if my growing belly and pictures if their nurseries and baby gear we had for them. We don't plan to be in this house for more then a couple more years so they probably won't remember much about their nurseries, so I wanted to make sure they'd be able to see what it looked like when they're older.

    Someone gave us two copies of the twin baby books (blanking on exactly what it is called) so I made one for each of them but it was fun that there are spaces for info about their twin also. I don't think there was much in mine that I could fill out ahead of time but to be honest, we did cry it out around 6 or 7 months and I filled in the bulk during that! It was a great productive distraction for me :) lol.

    I had two copies of Twice Upon a Time. It has stuff specific to twins and stuff specific to the individual babies. It starts with your pregnancy, has a lot for the first year, and then I think a page for up to 5 years.
