You're home free at this point, for all intents and purposes. Most of the twins in my world - and for some reason there are several - were born from 32-34 weeks. And all are healthy and happy. So excited for you! Life is about to get very interesting for you guys. On that note, we should start a FF room for baby advice once they arrive. You may need a place to vent and ask opinions. - Carla Thompson

I almost forgot. Buy two of these posthaste. http://www.miracleblanket.com/ - Carla Thompson

I had to create it myself so that it would have the right name: http://friendfeed.com/rooms... - Cyndy

Nice! I'll add the first item to it as a christening. - Carla Thompson

Now the real question is, are we going to add the REAL parenting advice or just the stuff you tell first-time parents so as not to frighten them? - Cyndy

OMG, some of my favorite e-mails include Carla's "observations" after her first daughter was born. The room is a fantastic idea and you have to keep it "real." - Shellee

Shellee, in the interest of FriendFEED I think you should share them. Just for giggles. ;) - Cyndy

My general rule: before they're born, keep it polite and only share the nice stuff. After: all bets are off. It's honesty time. - Carla Thompson

You're about to witness a moment of happiness that is unmatched and indescribable. Think of winning the World Series, the lottery and Scrabble on Facebook all at the same time. ... That said, the best advice now is one word: Sleep. This weekend, no alarm clock - just sleep in. Spend the whole weekend in bed if need be. It will be ages before you do again. - Chris Reed

@Chris Please define "ages." Oldest is 8.5 and the only weekend I've spent in bed I was sicker than a dog and still had to drag boxes of cereal to the children. - Cyndy

@Carla and @Cyndy... bring it on. We can have fun with this. - Louis Gray

LOL Louis. I'm not sure... I've had friends tell me that conversations with me are effective birth control. - Cyndy

@Cyndy: Ages as in I think they have to age and leave the house, then you get to sleep again. - Chris Reed

That's what I was afraid. of. :( - Cyndy

Charlie makes a really good name - Boy or Girl ... :) - Charlie Anzman

Lots of twinnage here at FF!. Our boys were born @ 34 weeks, after 6 weeks of very scary hospital-based pre-term labor. Now they're almost 4 and I can't imagine life without them. To be honest, I remember about 8 minutes of their first 6 months. I agree with Chris Reed. Take a nap. Now. Not because you want to, but because you can. Once they arrive, try to eat right, because it will be very tempting not too, and you need a lot of resources to battle your imminent lack of sleep. - Erik Dafforn

I agree with the others here..take a nap. Right now. Once your twins arrive, you'll soon be posting on - 'What is this 'rest' you speak of?' :) - MiaD

hmm.. at present you've got 143 comments and 162 likes this week. my prediction is after 20 days from now you never hit these numbers again. :) - Jeremy Toeman

My wife is 30 weeks pregnant with twin girls so we're getting closer too. And we have a 13 month old daughter. Yes, we are crazy. - Jason Dettbarn

@Jason Yes, yes, you are. Certifiable even. Although I have maintained since #2 that if ANY of our kids had ever made it to 2 without me being pregnant again, we'd only have one child. ;) - Cyndy

The only things I tell myself (to stay sane) is: we get through the next year or two we'll be golden; after this we're done having kids, so why not get it over now?!; they'll all be great playmates in a short time so we won't have to entertain as much... ahh, heck, who am I kidding? We are crazy. - Jason Dettbarn

Well, golden until the teenage years. Then I'll be taking up the shooting range as a hobby to scare off the boys. - Jason Dettbarn

Before our first was born, my wife had this thing: It would be two kids or four, no odd numbers (could have been from my being a middle child for a while). So after our first son was born, she said "2!" and I knew exactly what she meant. - Chris Reed

@Jason Ohohohoho. Hee hee hee. hoo. Sorry... I laughed til I cried. Four kids here in 3.5 years. Sorry to burst your bubble, but no, sir, you will not be "golden" in a "year or two." I look back on those days with three in diapers where some stayed where they were put with great longing. - Cyndy

@Cyndy and Jason: As I sat there last night, taking my eyes off of my 1.5 year old son for only seconds to watch a small snippet of the basketball game, only to find him seconds later pouring yogurt and milk all over the coffee table, the remotes, my lap, his lap, and the floor, I also longed for the days of waking up every three hours in the middle of the night to feed the monster, change the monster, and put him down again. "Hulk Smash" has nothing on "Toddler Smash." Still, I love every minute. - Rob Reed

@Cyndy delusional? maybe. but it's all I got left. ;-) What I mean was more getting used to the routine and actually having 3 kids, without going insane and destroying our relationship first. I think if we survive the first year or two, we'll be able to handle it no problem. Thanks for the insight! - Jason Dettbarn

"getting used to the routine and actually having 3 kids" Darnit, that was another hysterical laughing fit. And I think you made me wake up the only child who is actually napping! - Cyndy

Well, I guess I'll stop commenting here... sorry to hijack your comments Louis. Obviously every family of 3+ is exactly the same, so I should stop pretending things *might* be OK. - Jason Dettbarn

Sorry, Jason. Mine isn't the only big family I know and we unanimously agree that we lost our sanity LONG ago. My kids have friends in another family with 4 and two with 6 kids each and "ain't none of us right." - Cyndy

Hijack all you want. The thread's yours for the taking. I don't "own" the comments. :-) - Louis Gray

Good luck, Louis! My nephew just arrived last night (about 2-3 weeks ahead of "schedule") -- a healthy baby! - Andy Sternberg
