I am a newer mother of twin girls they are now 12 weeks old. I just found out about this club and hope to be joining it soon.
My husband and I have been trying to raise our girls with no help. I have just now come to the conclusion that I NEED HELP.
My husband works from 8 to 5 and when we go to sleep it is he sleeps and of course I wake up to tend the girls. (any suggestions on how I can get some sleep?) This mom is going stir crazy with lack of sleep.
I did not realize how expensive Twins are and the Doctors are not sure if they are identical and they want to run a test on them to find out. That according to what they tell us could cost a few hundred to a thousand dollars.
I am not sure if it is worth it. Since I can tell the difference between them and I am not sure if it is nessicary to find out.
I have resently found that the DI is my friend.
However, I have not been able to find a twin stroller there.
Since I can not afford to by a brand new one. Let me tell you how hard it is to carry a diaper bag and Two infant carriers with babies of course. We just went to the Doctors today for the RSV shots and found that they now are weighing in at 11 lbs and 11 lbs 5 oz. 
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to relieve my stress, or on how to get my husband to maybe wake up some in the middle of the night to help tend to the girls.
I was also wondering if anyone had a double stroller that will help me when I am by myself for doctor appointments etc..
Please let me know and If you have any suggestions I am opened to all. I am actually also helping out a friend that has just had Fraternal Twin girls two weeks ago. I am her support, but I need some also..
