Hi there. Aren't you a good friend! I have 4 month old twins and I know exactly what would have helped me in the beginning! Someone to run down to do the groceries ( or sit down to do the online order), and I definitely agree with cooking meals. But do you know the biggest thing? Running a broom or vac or mop over the floors without being asked. Hanging a load of wash out. Etc. I found I had people wanting to come over to look after the babies so I could cook and clean. Sounds reasonable I suppose but what people don't realize with twins is that you are so so busy with feeding, changing and trying to stay on top of the domestic stuff that you miss out on the special cuddles with your babies. I still find it hard to get that 'gazing into each others eyes' time with them. I am so busy trying to stay on top of everything that the only real time I get to hold them is when I'm feeding them. What twin mums want is someone to come over and help out with the house stuff so that we can have some special time with our bubs.
Hope that helps!!
