  • We are 3 1/2 months in to our twin journey and also have a 5 year old.  He has been the most amazing helper and big brother.  You can probably find a lot just reading through old board posts on here in regards to everything.  

    My biggest advice is routine, we've strictly followed one up both up and it's helped us get sleep and not feel like we're always feeding a baby.  Take whatever help you can get after they come and don't be afraid to let some of the chores go while you adjust and focus on them and yourself.  

    Welcome and best of luck! This group helped me a ton when I was expecting my two!

  • No advice as I'm still of w/ mine... But, welcome!! :)
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I had to laugh at this. I don't know if you know you wrote a 5 year old toddler :-) we have a 23 month old daughter and 6 month old triplet boys. Routine is key. Take a lot of deep breaths. You will get through the day. Two babies is really not all that difficult. it helps a lot that you have a child in school.
    you will have a fun time!
