If you had one piece of advice you could give an expecting mom of twins, what would it be? For me, it was getting on a schedule! I was (am) very strict about our daily schedules. It just helped our day flow smoothly (somewhat) and helped the babies get in a routine of when to feed, sleep, play, etc.

Did you have a c-section or natural delivery? I chose to have a scheduled c-section (which ended up being a good plan because both were breech the day of delivery)
Any NICU time? If yes, for what reason and how long? No! Healthy babies!!
Did you have any complications after delivery? No
How long did you (the parents) stay in the hospital? 5 days
Did your twins stay with you or in the hospital nursery at night? With me (tried to send them out once a night for a couple uninterrupted hours of sleep once a night).
What are three things you are so glad you had (or wish you would have had) at the hospital?
Boppy, my husband
Describe one of your favorite moments while you were at the hospital: My favorite moment was the first time I was breastfeeding both my babies at the same time! I had waited for this moment for a long time! It was amazing to be able to finally hold them and know I was providing nourishment for them!
