You can do this, you will be great at it, and if you can't figure out what to have for dinner now, or get the house clean, it is because you don't have to. You will be fine, and you will be fantastic at this, and your house doesn't have to be clean and many, many adults eat cereal for dinner and live in a dusty house and PIJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03266157878299959078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260269.post-1141763226738100812006-03-07T12:27:00.000-08:002006-03-07T12:27:00.000-08:00Cass, I just know that you two are going to do a g...Cass, I just know that you two are going to do a great job.

If so, consider joining. The one in my area offers expectant moms support group meetings. Talking to moms of twins might help with fear of the unknown.<BR/><BR/>I have two year old b/g twins and it's hard. Really hard. My husband's job is very demanding. Our families are 2000 miles away.
