What to Prepare This Week

When Mom is 15 weeks pregnant with twins, she is likely growing out of her clothes (if she hasn’t already). It’s time to stock up on maternity clothes.

From Your Fellow Twin Parents

Lindsay C. – “15 weeks and feeling really good! We’ve been stocking up on diapers and wipes. Also registering generic stuff for our baby shower registry”

Josh H. – “So far mom is still pretty nauseous. She still has weak spells and is easily worn out.”
