*aparadis1013 - or anyone with twin advice*
Let me start by saying that we are very excited about our twins!! However, we are also a bit scared and nervous and not sure how things are going to work out. We have a 2 bedroom house so eventually we will have to buy a new one (we were going to buy one sooner rather then later, but with extra expenses we have to reevaluate), daycare costs a ton of money for one child, nonetheless two, etc. I guess you could say there are a lot of questions and people just say you will figure it out, which I know we will, but it just doesn't seem like it right now. I was wondering if you knew of or were part of any kind of twins or multiples support groups?? I think it may ease our minds to actually talk to people who are in similar situations and see that "yes, it can work out". I think we are just at that "overwhelmed" stage right now. Any advice??

Its perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed about twins! I know I felt like I was in a fog for several weeks after we found out - I asked my DH several times if he thought the doctors made a mistake cause there was no way we should being having twins, lol.
You don't have to move immediately - my twins share a room and probably will until they are 3 or so. But if you do decide to move, I would do it sooner rather than later because you may not feel up to that kind of stress as you get further along in your pregnancy.
Heather mentioned the Nashua Twins group, there is also a Manchester one, depending on your location. Also, my DH & I attended a class given by the Elliot for people expecting twins and that was helpful. The Nest has a multiples board and while I was never an active poster over ther, you can get a lot of good information just by lurking.
Well let me tell you.. my twins are 15 and i raised them by myself until they were 13 and i got married. They are difficult at first but they are wonderful in the fact that they always have a friend. As for the whole getting another house thing.. unless you have a boy/girl set.. you dont have to upsize your house. My kids still share a room and they will until they move out. They just barely got rid of their bunk beds this summer. Day care.... cant help you there. I was part of a pilot program in VT to help young single moms get work so i never had to pay more than $45 a week for childcare for them both. Money was hard since i have never got anything from their bio dad but I taught them to do without all the crap that kids "need" to have these days. My boys are well adjusted, sweet loving boys so i guess they survived. HAHA my only opinion is that you need to set up your priorities and get a clear plan. And come to us if you need help.
Congrats on joining a very special team.
