What to prepare for?

Question

I just found out I'm having identical twins; one gestational sac, two yolk sacs. Couldn't see the membrane yet but they're thinking monochorionic diamniotic twins. 
What do I need to prepare for mentally in this pregnancy? And what Tips do you have for newborn stage. I have 3 singletons, so know my way around a newborn. But two? That's a challenge haha. 💖💖💖

Answer

My best is advice is do what works for you. Our mo/di girls are almost 11 months old and we never had them on a schedule/the same schedule...not even for a day. We do everything on demand. They nap wherever, so they’re used to noise and light, and there are no “perfect” sleeping conditions that they get used to. 
We don’t wake sleeping babies in our house. Yes they’re twins, but we see them as 2 individuals. My husband and I don’t eat the same thing at the exact same time every single day, sleep at the exact same time, have the exact same needs...so we don’t expect our kids to either. 
Outside of do what makes sense for your family, not what everyone tells you should work for you because it worked for them..read the book “when you’re expecting twins, triplets, or quads” by Barbara Luke. It’s a wonderful source of information. Oh and look into wonderfold wagons depending on the age of your other kids. It may work better for you than a stroller

Answer

Congratulations!! I have mono/di identical twin boys who just turned two! The biggest piece of advice that I'm sure you'll receive is "keep them on a schedule"! Which is so true. Having them eat, sleep, bathe, play, and everything else at the same time is a huge help! Because then you're usually not ALWAYS feeding and changing a baby. If you do both at the same time, it makes it easier to remember what baby ate last, was changed last, ect...and you'll have more time to yourself.
