Congratulations! 
I have three year old twins. When I found out all I could do was laugh with borderline hysteria. The first thing DH said was "We need to get a bigger car"

Be prepared for the search for a car with appropriate boot space for a double buggy to take over your life for a while!

Congratulations! Agree you need to find your local twins club. Loved mine.
You will be a member of a very special club. You might want to cancel your membership most days for a while but the first time you hear them giggling on some joke that you're not part of your heart will melt. And you'll never get round a supermarket for years without someone telling you how lucky you are!!
Hard work but amazing

A twins club is basically a baby / toddler group for mums/parents of twins (and multiples) or parents to be of twins. They are generally brilliant because they usually have masses of helpers / volunteers (so lots of offers of help / holding one baby so you at least have one hand free to have a coffee) and lots of other twin parents for support / give tips / just generally feel your pain because they've been through it.
Have a look at TAMBA's website. They have a list of clubs, but I would also ask your local Children's Services / Library etc if you have one locally.

I burst out in tears when I found out I was having twins. It was my idea of hell. I had a 2.5 year gap with DS. I wasn't that sure I wanted one more child, never mind two. I had seen a friend with twins and could not see how I could cope.
It was hard work, and you have to be organised. They are 21 this week and the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me .
I met a lovely old lady who had two sets of twins and one single - 5 under 5 
. Her father felt sorry for her and bought her a washing machine (twin tub) after the second set came along, for all the nappies. She said you manage
