    First, Congrats!!! Now, if anyone asks what to get you for a baby shower gift...diapers and lots of them. You have no idea how many you're gonna go thru especially w/twins. Get a membership to a wholesale club. Diapers and Formula are $$$$$. I personally use BJs b/c they accept coupons. I remember when the last one of our kids got out of diapers we did a happy dance b/c we had alot more disposeable income that could go towards better things i.e. hunting and fishing. Lastly, enjoy the ride and what a ride it will be. I have two daughters ages 13 and 7. Would not trade the memories of raising them for all the $$$$ in the world.

    My my my...... Congrats to you both! Yes it most certainly is a life changing event. If you and the babies and momma survive the first year you can make it through about anything. ;) Kids are the biggest pain in the butt :bash: But you truly don't know the degree of true love a person can have for another until your first child. It really is quite mind boggling. Enjoy EVERY moment even the crappy ones. ha ha (pun intended)

    I second the diaper and formula request!!!!!! Sooooo expensive. Unless of course you can get them to buy you a new bow. :tu:

    Congrats. My second son was supposed to be twins, but we lost him in the very beginning.

    Advice... diapers, diapers, and more diapers for a shower gift. Sleep as you can. My wife breatfeeds so when the baby wakes in the night I get him

    Thanks for all the congrats guys & gals! It will be a ride for sure. We have a Costco near us so that will help, and I will be asking for diapers/having a diaper bbq poker night for all the guys. Didn't realize how much they cost, and we will be using 2x as much..:/
