I'm 31 weeks with twins and just hoping for a bit of help & advice please.
My dad passed away a couple of months ago and Ive been struggling to feel excitement about the twins without him here to meet them & see them grow up. I feel like it's a waste of this incredible miracle if he's to miss out on it. I've been having some grief counselling and she said yesterday that it's inevitable that I am going to feel sad when they arrive (along with other emotions) but she said I need to get practically prepared so it's one less thing to add to any emotions when they arrive.
So what I'm asking for is the essentials I need to have now?
So far I have 2 baby carseats. I have a toddler who I EBF for 10 months but I don't want to put any pressure on myself so I have bought lots of bottles and formula already. I do have lots of clothes but I probably need more teeny baby stuff. I have lots of newborn nappies (but perhaps I need more!).
Sleep wise I have a cot that needs to be put together (but no mattress), 2 moses baskets, and the promise of 2 chico next to me cribs on loan... I don't know which to choose to set up in my bedroom?
I don't have a double pushchair yet although have my eye on the bugaboo donkey unless anyone has any horror stories!
Thanks in advance for any one that has any advice or any words of wisdom to make their arrival as smooth as possible on my mental state!
