What do newborn twins wear?

So there's a thread about this for singletons over the other side and it got me thinking. I'm due DCDA twins mid May so they'll be here at the latest by the end of April. Obviously I'm keeping everything crossed they make it to full term but also accept there is a possibility they may arrive any time in the next twelve weeks. So what size clothes do I go for?? I only plan on getting plain vests and baby grows and let everyone else go nuts with the fancier stuff once they arrive (we are keeping the gender a surprise for everyone else but know ourselves it is one of each). Do I go for early baby, small baby or newborn? Do I get a couple of each size and then send DH out to buy more once they arrive/take smallest ones back if I last longer? Similarly with nappies, what size do you suggest I get a few of? I know at 24 weeks I still have a fair bit of time left but we are due to move between 28-32 weeks (not ideal I know) so would quite like to get some things organised in advance if at all possible.

Thank you for any help and any other suggestions of things I should get now

If you go to any nearly new sales/twins club sales, pick up some bits cheap - we did this so got a few different sizes and they're barely or not worn. Even though they were born at 38 weeks they were about 5lb and didn't get into 0-3 month size until they were 3 months old.

Mine were born at 39+2 at 7lb5 and 6lb7. B/G twins.
I had the 7-10lb baby grows first about 15 or so. They lived in them day and night until they were 1 Blush. I also used to put any style or colour on either baby. Ds looked gorgeous in cerise flowers Grin

Bearfeet-you have made me feel so much better! I'm expecting BG twins as well and was starting to think I should take out shares in baby wear as the numbers advised for twins in general are phenomenal and then if I have to split the sleep suits into his and hers I'll have no space for any other clothes. And the neutral stuff is pretty dull in comparison. Metrosexual in pink from day one it is ??
