I've been lurking ... now I can join you!
I've been lurking on this board because I had a "feeling" with this pregnancy. The midwife told me I was measuring three weeks ahead, and I've been feeling movement for more than two weeks; and sure enough, we got to meet TWO new babies via ultrasound today!
I admit I am freaking out a bit because my LO will only be 19-20 months old when the twins are born--yikes! I am a bit overwhelmed and anxious that when they come I'll be a stressed-out and unpleasant mama. But I am also excited and can't wait to meet these little ones. 
In the meantime, any words of wisdom for managing 3 under 2? Hehe!

ETA: My advice would be to make sure your homeis baby proofed from floor to ceiling so that your toddler can't get into any trouble while you are busy with your twins.

SkyBee, thank you for the advice! We will be moving in two months (out of a two bedroom apartment, so we can't really say here!!), which will give us a good opportunity to make sure our place is completely baby-proofed from the start! We definitely still have a few problem areas that our little guy likes to get into when I'm not looking ...
