Hey Mums!

Stella was born 1 July 06 so she will be about 21 months when twins are due. At this stage it looks like fraternal twins....

I go from being really excited (oooohhh, little babies!) and confident to feeling anxious about coping with a toddler and trying to get adequate sleep. Both my parents live close and DH's parents are coming back from Scotland to retire and help out so no probs there. I just find it difficult having other people around all the time (I love my own space!) and accepting help is never easy when you're an adult and a mum and think you should be able to handle everything yourself!

Does anyone have any tips here? A lot of friends have just said to get helpers to do laundry, dinners, etc...Also, DH will probably be able to have about 1-2 wks off at twins birth. How long will I need someone to help with breastfeeding and changing the twins until I get the swing of things?

Hope you're all well and getting enough rest!
